Twice beaten by Hornbostel this winter, Ivan Fuqua, former co-cap- tain of Indiana University, upset his teammate, taking the lead at the start and beating Hornbostel's final sprint to break the tape in 1 minute, 11.7 seconds, just four tenths of a second over Hornbostel's record. . Another brilliant performance was turned in by Owens, Ohio State's husky sprinter,. who equalled Ralph Metcalf's standard of 6.1 seconds in winning the 60-yard dash. Owens also won the 60-yard low hurdles. Michigan's great team of runners piled up a total of 342 points to win the team title for the second time in the three years of relays.

In a strongly worded message to the California Republican Assembly, the former President broke the two-} year political silence to demand a re-. juvenation of the party and a unity of purpose in defense of American principles "jeopardized by regimen- tation and bureaucratic domination." The California Republican Assem- bly is sponsored by Young Republi- cans in an effort to revitalize the party. It was no formal connection with the regular state central com- mittee. The rebirth of the Republican party, Hoover said, "transcends any personal interest or the selfish inter- est of any group," and it is the young men and women of the party we must "give attention to drift from nation moorings." He excorciated the Democratic business, financial, relief, labor and agrarian policies and declared that the present Administration had made the people "pawns of a centralized and self-perpetuating government." He demanded a return to "economic common sense" and to the fundamen- tal spirit of "free men and women." WASHINGTON, March 23-(P)- Herbert Hoover, whether he chose or not, sent the 1936 presidential cam- paign rumbling more audibly today with his communication to Califor- nia Republicans condemning the New Deal. Scorned by Democrats as a "piti- ful effort to get back in the White House," the message was construed by some Republicans-in thewords of Chairman Henry P. Fletcher-as a "call to arms of all who believe in our American system of government.'' Readiness of the former president to speak out combined with other signs of a reassuring Republican spirit to herald a quickening of political strife in the 15 months between now and the party conventions. "It's another announcement for '36," was the view of Speaker Byrnes. Senator Connally (Dem., Texas) commented that "if Mr. Hoover 'in the White House had done only a fraction of what Mr. Hoover out of the White House now says should be done, he would not have to make such a feble attack on the Roosevelt ad- ministration in his palpable and piti- ful effort to get back in the White House." Prison Guards Assaulted B y Jackson Felon JACKSON, March 23 -(A')- Three Jackson prison guards were beaten severely Saturday by a convict who struck them with implements he picked up in the recreation yard. The outbreak occurred while Guard Sergt. Tim C.

Dr. Bronislaw Malinowski, British1 anthropoligst and economist, will speak at 4 p.m., April 16, in the Nat- ural Science Auditorium on the top- ic, "The Economic Motive in the De-j velopment of Civilization," it was an- nounced last night by Prof. Leslie White of the anthropology depart- ment.t Dr. Malinowski will come as a Uni- versity lecturer on request of the an- thropology department, Professor White explained. He called the Brit-C ish scholar "one of the outstanding men in the functionalist school of an- thropology." Dr. Malinowski, a Pole by birth, is associated with the London School ofr Economics. He is the author of num- erous books, outstanding among them being "Argonaut of the Western Pa- cific." He has written several arti- cles for the Encyclcopedia Brittanica. Dr. Malinowski is especially noted as a student of the Trobriand Islands in the Western Pacific, Professor White said. He has done much re- search along the line of anthropology and economics in the Trobriands and elsewhere in the Pacific generally. While Dr. Malinowski was in the United States on a lecture tour once before, he has never been in Ann Ar- bor. Members of the anthropology department laud him as a "brilliant scholar and interesting lecturer," and urge attendance at his address. I B Tc I Bonner To Deliver Talk On Classics "Classical Scholarship - A Roving Commission," is the title of tlie Uni- versity Lecture-to be given at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow by Prof. Campbell Bonner, head of the Greek depart- ment. The lecture is the seventh of a group of eight on the University Lec- ture Series to be given by members of the University faculty, and will take place in- Natural Science Audi- torium Professor Bonner has done much research in Greece and the Near East along the lines of his special field of interest, the history of religions. In this connection he recently pub- lished "A Papyrus Code of the Shep- herd of Hermas." After receiving his A.B. from Van- derbilt in 1896, and his master's de- gree there a year later, he took a master's from Harvard in 1898 and a Ph.D. in 1900. He then spent a year at the University of Berlin and a year traveling in Greece and Italy. From 1901 until 1907, when he came to Michigan, he was professor of Greek at Peabody Teachers Col- lege in Nashville. He has been here since that time with the exception of the year 1927-1928, which he spent as annual professor at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, of whose managing committee he is a member. During that year he visited the University's Egyption ex- cavations at Karanis. As 'Jdust Burlesque' FORT MEYERS,I Fa., March 23- GP)-T1~e Seminole Indian Association has branded as a "fake" and a "bur- lesque" the sun dance at West Palm Beach when Indians presented a "treaty" to Secretary Harold L. Ickes and John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. In a strongly worded letter to Com- missioner Collier, the Association asked an investigation of "exploita- tion of Indians by publicity-seeking palefaces." The action was taken after Indian medicine men had complained to W. Stanley Hanson, their most trusted white spokesman, that the "Sun Dance" was no part of the Seminole ceremony and that the Indians who had participated in the parley with Ickes and Collier were not accredited to actfor either of the two Seminole groups. "The Seminoles know what'is going on and do not approve of such false ceremonies as the parley with Mr. Ickes and Mr. Collier," said Hanson. "The Indian agent and the United States field nurse also disapprove of such occurrences as make the Semi- noles lose faith in their white friends." he added. Honor Cooley In Next Issue Of The Technic March Edition Will Be On Sale Tomorrow Through Wednesday I % * i Calk April 16 i From London Brand War Dance Economics School ecjure~ Jr Malinowski, Noted British Economist, Will Give Mobilized At Once A tribute to Dean-Emeritus Mor- timer E. Cooley, the "Grand Old Man" of the College of Engineering, is Tea-, tured in the March issue of the Mich- igan Technic which will go on sale Monday through Wednesday in the lobby of the East Engineering Build- ing and in the corridor over the Egineering Arch. The tribute has been written by Hillard A. Sutin, '37E, in honor of Dean Cooley's eightieth birthday which will be celebrated on Thurs- day of this week. A picture of the, Dean has been presented by the Michigan Technic as the frontispiece. Dean Cooley first became associated with the University in 1881 at the age of 26, with the distinction of being the youngest full professor in the his- tory of Michigan education. Since that time, Sutin points out, "Dean Cooley and the college have matured together. They are each a product of the other" In the "May We Present" depart- ment of the Michigan Technic, five seniors in the engineering college have been cited for their active par- ticipation in the various enigineering activities. These students are Eric E. Sommer, Alvin Mortenson, Tage O. Jacobson, Russel W. Houvener and Lester V. Colwell. A special feature included in the humor departmentJof the March Technic is a poem written in honor (or dishonor) of Prof. Walter L. Badger of the chemical engineering department by a group of anonymous students. The poem is entitled "Owed to Professor Badger" and is alleged to be in retaliation to the time when Professor Barger walked into class and "inspirationally" addressed his students with the now famous words: 'Engineers-Men of Michigan-Hell!', Benito Mussolini Offers Call To Arms As Reprisal For Hitler Decree Three Allied Powers Will Stand Together France, Italy And England To Offer United Front In Dealing With Germany ROME, March 23- (P) - Benito Mussolini trundled forth a war ma- chine totalling one million men today as Italy's answer to Germany's rearm- ament, and declared the nation was "ready for any threat of war." Il Duce called the entire military class of 1911 to arms as a "precau- tionary measure," and declared, on the sixteenth anniversary of the Fas- cist party's founding, that "the mil- lions of bayonets carried by the people of the black shirts, accompany our sincere desire for European collab- oration." The mobilzation order added 200, 000 men to forces already under arms, bringing the total for the regular army to around 600,000, plus some 400,000 black shirt mitlitiamen ready to move at the drop of a hat. Government and military circles said the order was due to European tenseness created by Germany's de- cision to rearm. They pointed out that the Ethiopian situation, which has called some 30,000 men out of Italy, does not require anything like the total number called to arms in today's communique. This communique was issued short- ly after Mussolini's speech in the. Venezia Square before 10,000 black shirts gathered to commemorate the Fascist anniversary. "The political climate is cloudy and uncertain," Mussolin said in a char- acteristically forceful address, adding that Italy's preparedness for any event permits her "to look with a firm and tranquil eye to the task of the not very distant future which will be ours." PARIS, March 23 --R)- France Italy and England agreed today to stand together "in complete unity of purpose" in dealing with the Ger- man arms crisis. At Britain's insistence, the tri- power parley held here to prepare the way for Anglo-German conversations in Berlin Monday and Tuesday agreed to proceed cautiously and survey the ground thoroughlyebefore forcing the issue before the League of Nations. Capt. Anthony Eden, who will ac- company Foreign Minister Sir John Simon to Berlin tomorrow, spoke for Great Britain; Foreign Minister Pierre Laval, who yesterday demand- ed "regrouping of the Allies against Germany," represented France; Un- dersecretary of State Fulvio Suvich was Italy's spokesman. Even as the three met over the luncheon table and the council tables at the Quai d' Orsay, the French gen- eral staff announced' transfer of some 30,000 troops to garrisons nearer the Rhine. Italy, through Benito Mus- solini, summoned 220,000 more men to the colors. Eight Symbols Of Religions To e Dedicated A special service for the dedication of eight banners of religions will be conducted at 5:15 p.m. tomorrow in the Unitarian Church by the Rev. H. P. Marley, assisted by Mrs. F. E. Lord and William Jewell, both of Ann Arbor The banners were designed during the last year as one of the means of enriching the symbolism of the new service adopted last fall. They repre- sent the religions of Hinduism, Jud- aism, Shinto, Zoroastrianism, Budd- hism, Confucianism, Christianity and Mt1.ohammedism. There are students of all the above religions on campus, and they were consulted as to appropriate designs and color schemes. None of the re- ligions, except the Christian, had flags which could be copied, so much research was necessary. Eventually, it is planned to have a specially designed Humanist ban- ner on the front panel in the chancel, The Cosmopolitan Club has been at noon back to their cell block.
