President Gives PolicyOf U S. Toward Crisis Record Defense Outlays Totaling More Than One Billion Discussed WASHINGTON, March 20. -(A) - A transatlantic extension of the "good neighborhood policy" as the solution for Europe's acute military problems was projected by President Roosevelt today, while on Capitol Hill, record- smashing defense outlays totalling more than $1,500,000,000 were dis- cussed. Disarmament, the President told newspaper men, is a component part of his "neighborhood" policy, and, de- spite the crisis resulting from Ger- many's announcement of a deter- mination to rearm, the Chief Execu- tive still held out hope for future arms limitatipns. Meanwhile Sir John Simon, Brit- ish foreign minister, summoned Ray Atherton, American Chartre De Af- fairs in London, and gave him an out- line of Britain's position for trans- mission here. Claude Swanson, secretary of the navy, told newspapermen the navy was considering plans for building battleships after present limiting treaties expire and was not deviating from its plan of laying down 78 smaller vessels by 1939.

He made his final test run today, but they were tests for the future rather than the present. The beach was still too rough for anything like the 300 miles an hour he seeks.

RUSH HOLT Freshmen To Discuss Hell Week Tuesday First-Year Men To Meet At 7:30 P.M. In Union To Present Opiniois In order to obtain the attitude tow- ard Hell Week practices here by men who have recently undergone the hazing, as well as the attitude of up- perclass fraternity men, a meeting of freshmen representatives from in- dividual houses will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Room ,306 of the Union. Letters were sent out yesterday by Alvin H. Schleifer, '35, secretary of the Interfraternity Council, request- ing house presidents to inform the freshman classes of the meeting and to have them elect a representative to the meeting. Discussed By Council At the last meeting of the Inter- fraternity Council, the subject of Hell Week was discussed and the final sentiment of that group was defi- nitely in favor of modification as proved by their 38 to 1 vote for modi- fication. A committee was appointed to for- mulate a list of specific practices which need correction. This com- mittee report will be taken up for ratification at the next meeting of the 2ouncil which will be held early in April. Some of the more important regu- lations that the committee passed were the elimination of all paddling during Hell Week, limitation of the' period to four days, provision of a three-hour study period every day for the initiates, and prohibition of any hazing activities between the hours of 12 midnight and 7 a.m. on nights preceding regular class days. Bar Upperclassmen At the meeting of freshmen repre- sentatives no upperclassmen will be present with the exception of the officers of the Council and all opin- ions and sentiments will be treated with strict anonymity. 0 The group may present an alter- nate plan of modification to the Council and Schleifer stated that if the Council opposes the plans of both the upperciass committee and the freshmen, a compromise plan, em- bodying parts of both, may be ef- fected. One injury resulting from Hell Week was reported last week when a pledge, going through a series of "gymnast- ics," fell and injured his spine. He was taken to the Health Service for treatnient and has completely re- covered.

Iwo Regents Oppose Auto Ban Change Three Refuse To Discuss Subject Before It Comes Before Entire Board Hemans Advances ProposalTuesday Plan Prevents Freshmen And Ineligibles From Using Automobiles Two members of the Board of Re- gents expressed themselves as being opposed to relaxation of the Uni- versity automobile ban in accordance with the proposal advanced Tuesday by Regent Charles F. Hemans, a sur- vey of the sentiment of the Board conducted yesterday by The Daily over telephonerand telegraph revealed. Of the other five members, in ad- dition to Regent Hemans, two could not be contacted at a late hour last night, and three others declined to discuss the subject before it has offi- cially come before the Board. Beal Well Satisfied Regent Junius E. Beal of Ann Ar- bor, last night stated that he is "pretty well satisfied" with the pres- ent regulations. Regent Esther M. Cram of Flint, wired The Daily that she believed the majority of the students are "better off" without automobiles. Regents Edmund C,. Shields of Lan- sing, James O. Murfin of Detroit, and Ralph Stone, also of Detroit, refused to make any statement. Neither Regents Richard R. Smith, of Grand Rapids, nor Franklin Cook, of Hillsdale, could be contacted by telegram last night. The plan suggested by Regent He- mans in a statement made Tuesday at Lansing provides for a regulation which prevents only freshmen and students deficient in their academic work from using automobiles. Hopes to Lift Ban "My personal opinion," he stated, "is that the ruling should be relaxed and I intend to bring the proposal be- fore the next meeting of the Board in the hope that the ban may be lifted by next fall." "I see no reason why it would not be an improvement over the present plan," Regent Hemans said. The complete text of Regent Cram's telegram opposing modification fol- lows: "I feel that the auto ban is not a reflection upon the ages of students, but a serious effort on the part of University authorities to lessen acci- dents; to safeguard life and limb in the crowded condition of a small town which harbors a great university and to defend the student himself from the distractions which certainly fol- low in the wake of liberty to all to drive at any and all times. Students who need to drive are given permis- sion but the number who require such permission is relatively small."

Germany Plans Fortification Of Rhine Valley - A , S T R DA N T E HA G E 4~41 PARIS -Associated Press Map The next step in Germany's plan to reestablish herself as a first- ranking military power will be the fortification of the Rhine Valley, Ger- man officials said, unless France demilitarizes a similar section. Shaded section of this map shows the areas involved.. Session Will Probal Held For Consia bly Be dering Our Rubbers, Please -- Spring Comes To Town Spring is here! It officially arrived at 8:18 a.m. today and come what may --snow, ice, and cold -it is still spring. The occasion today is the vernal equinox, when the sun, in its appar- ent motion, crosses from the south to the north of the equator. The earth's axis is at right angles to the sun rays, and day and night are of equal length in this hemisphere. It doesn't mean anything in particular, Univer- sity astronomers point out, except the arrival of that balmy, amorous pe- riod - spring. And while predictions indicate that the mercury will probably rise ap- propriately enough, it was reported last night that Ann Arbor was due to greet spring in its typical fashion - with rain. Prof. Bryson Will Speak In Lecture Series Community Education Is Topic Of Address To Be Given Today Another of the University Lectures of this year's series will be given to- day by Prof. Lyman Lloyd Bryson of Columbia Teachers' College, who is to speak at 4:15 p.m. today in the Natural Science Auditorium on the subject "An Experiment in Commun-1 ity Education."

Threat Of Floods Is Moving To South MEMPHIS, March 20 -(R)- The tributary flood peril extended farther southward today into Arkansas, while in Mississippi fighters apparently won a victory over the rising Yazoo River. As the crest of the St. Francis flood in the Southern Missouri-Northern Arkansas sector moved downstream, nearly 5,000 refugees had returned to Council Of League To Convene Editor Charges Colleges Face Great Crisis Columbia Student States Fascism Is A Menace To Universities NEW YORK, March 20 -(R)- American colleges, James A. Wechs- ler, editor of the Columbia "Specta- tor" charged today, are faced with the "greatest crisis" in their history - "the menace of Fascism." Wechsler, who spoke over a na- tional radio hook-up, asserted that 100,000 students throughout the coun- try would demonstrate "the sensitiv- ity to disaster" by going on strike April 12 "against war and Fascism." With swift, terrifying strides, the; forces of reaction are advancing," Wechsler said, "threatening to destroy our last vestiges of freedom." "In William RandolphH earst's crusade is symbolized the most peri- lous development in American life1 today, a challenge which we can1 neither dismiss nor accept with stolid-1 ity. "This is the menace of Fascism. It is an eminent, a profound reality; it is no left-wing shibboleth or alarmist hysteria. The 'man on horseback' is already riding." The young student editor declared that college trustees and boards of education are drawn from the "vested' interests," reaching their positions through financial supremacy rather than scholastic attainments. Council Is To Decide Issue Of Government The long-debated question of stu- dent government will probably be de- cided by the Undergraduate Council when it meets at 5 p.m. today in the Union, Carl G. Hilty, '35, president stated last night. The Senate Committee On Stu- dent Affairs last week refused to take any action on the various plans of- fered because it believed that the present Council as a legally organ- ized student body should have the control over the question of changing the plan of government. Hilty stated that the Senate Com- mittee would only have taken action had a great number of the student body voted for one of the plans and if the Undergraduate Council then refused to recognize the sentiment expressed by that group. Japan Ambassador Predicts Peace Era NEW YORK, March 20. - (AP)- Despite heavily increased armaments among nations and still unsolved in- ternational problems, Ambassador Hi- rosi Faito of Japan tonight predicted an era of peace among the great, powers of the world. "I am not alarmed by the frequent reports of danger," he told a dis- tinguished audience at the annual dinner of the Japan Society of New York. "I can see none that is serious on any frontier, neither across the Atlantic or across the Pacific and Appeal Of France Group May Invoke Article Of Treaty Crucial Time For Peace Of Europe Is Next Six Months,_Experts Say GENEVA, March 20.- (A) - An ex- traordinary session of the League of Nations Council to deal with France's appeal against German rearmament probably will be held Thursday, March 28, League officials said to- night. The announcement came as mili- tary experts here, contemplating Ger- many's increasing ability to produce war supplies, said they considered the next six months the crucial period for Europe's peace. Intense interest was shown in the French appeal, which some observers asserted contains potential dynamite, especially as to whether it will invoke Article 213 of the Versailles Treaty which binds Germany to facilitate any investigation of her armaments which the Council, acting by majority vote, may consider necessary. It was anticipated that France, sup- ported by the Little Entente and the Balkan Entente, would be able to muster the needed majority, To Ignore Session A German spokesman said his na- tion, whose resignation from the League becomes effective in October, would ignore the Council session, sending no representative to defend her arms course. That the French decision will stir up much smoke, but do nothing to advance the cause of disarmament was the consensus in German circles at Geneva. League officials said the text of the French communication to Geneva probably will be published simultane- ously tomorrow in Paris and Geneva. The military observers expressed belief that the next six months would be the Continent's period of peril was based on their contention that the end of the period will see Germany grinding out armaments at top speed. Powers To Have Parley LONDON, March 20.- (P)- A smashing vote of confidence in the French senate for the French govern- ment's determined efforts to curb German rearmament today followed closely decisions of the British, French and Italian governments to hold direct discussions of the problem. Great Britain, yielding to French and Italian insistence, agreed to abandon diplomatic negotiations and send Capt. Anthony Eden, lord privy seal, to Paris for the tri-party con- ference, to be held one day before Eden and Sir John Simon, British foreign minister, go to Berlin to con- fer with Adolph Hitler. The vote of confidence given Prem- ier Pierre-Etienne Flandin's stout re- sistance in the face of Hitler's deci- sion, To Send Protest Attention was focused on the French note of protest to be delivered to the Berlin government tomorrow. It was expected to criticize much more sharply than the London protest the Reich's violation of the armament provisions of the Versailles Treaty. Addressing the French senate be- fore the vote, Premier Flandin warned his nation to be "vigilant," expressed "complete confidence in the country's fighting strength" and said "our sol- diers would be filled with the same spirit of sacrifice in case of emergency as they were in 1914." Cite Germany's Strength Other speakers declared that Ger- many's army now numbers 750,000 men, with reserves estimated at 1,- 200,000, asserted that the Reich is preparing another war fleet of 400,- 000 tons and predicted territorial pro- visions of the Versailles Treaty, which took such former German areas as Danzig, the Polish Corridor, Memel and Alsace-Lorraine from her, would be next to go by the board. Anxious to tighten bonds tying France to Russia and Italy, the French government announced plans to send Foreign Minister Pierre La- val to Moscow, and asked the Cham- ber of Deputies to bring up for dis- cussion tomorrow the Franco-Italian accords which Laval and Benito Mus- solini signed at Rome Jan. 7. Diplomatic quarters in Rome, not- ing the Turin newspaper La Stampa's advocacy of an Anglo-Italo-French Exhibit At Museums Poits Oute -Dangers Of Am oebic Dysentery Amoebic dysentery, the terrifying disease which a Chicago hotel cook gave to thousands of World's Fair vis- itors'in 1933 and which is still rav- aging the United States, is explained and the means of its infection pointed out in an exhibit being displayed at the University Museums. The exhibit, arranged by E. L. Cheetum, Grad., under the direction of Miss Crystal Thompson's depart-I ment of visual education, represents' in detail the amoeba as it winds its death-like way through the digestive system. The disease is controlled princi- pally, the exhibit explains, from water and raw salads. The amoeba, in its tissue-like shell, or cyst, enters the esophagus. In the exhibit this is shown as a blue disk, a quarter of an inch in diameter, magnified about 1,- 200 times. When the amoeba enters the stom- ach, the digestive juices work on the' done when it takes in red blood cells giving off poisons that destroy the tissue. Painful ulcers are caused which in turn form other ulcers, undermin- ing the wall of the intestine. As this condition continues, the exhibition shows how the entire intestine is broken away, a condition which al- most invariably results in peritonitis. Certain types of individuals are immune to amoebic dysentery, the exhibit points out. It is in these car- riers of the disease that the danger really lies. These persons unknowingly carry the amoeba in the cyst, as do certain types of individuals who have had the disease and recovered. The best known remedy, Mr. Chee- tum states, is Carbarsone, a fluid which kills the amoeba. The healing is, of necessity, he said, left to na- tural processes. The exhibit quotes Dr. Mark S. Daugherty, noted public health au- thority, as to precautions to be taken in avoiding amoebic dysentery. They
