Japan Leaves.,
Lea gue After
Three Years
Insists She Retain
Possessions Of
And Manchuria
Island
Pacific
TOKIO, March 27. - UP) -Japan
gave up her membership in the League
of Nations today but made it clear
that she has not the slightest inten-
tion of slackening her grasp on either
her mandated islands in the equatorial
Pacific, which the League bestowed
upon her, or in Manchuria, which the
League tried to take away.
It was her seizure of Manchuria
that caused. the disagteement with
the League that caused Japan's seces-
sion three years ago.
Japanese nationalists say Japan
might have to take her stand, by
force of arms if necessary, against
League members or other states that
might want to terminate her posses-
sion of the mandates on the ground
that Japan's title should lapse with
her departure from the League.
The highest Japanese authorities,
including Premier Heisuka Okada and
especially the admirals who strongly
influence imperial policy, have de-
clared Japan's inflexible decision to
keep' the islands as permanent units
of the Japanese empire.
These islands, the Carolines, Mar-
shalls and Ladrones, belonging' to
Germany until the World War, just
north of the equator, possess incal-
culable strategic value in any struggle
for naval mastery of the Pacific.
RFC Charged With
Unlawful Practices
CHICAGO, March 27 -(IP)- The
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
Nas charged in a bill filed in Federal
Jistrict court late today with counten-'
ancing "illegal practices, manipula-
lions and juggling of accounts," on
the part of Charles G. Dawes and
>ther directors of the old Central Re-
;ublic Trust Co.
The allegations were contained in
a counter action filed in behalf of
several stockholders who are defend-
rnts in a suit recently instituted by
-he RFC to collect about $30,000,000
inpaid on an $80,000,000 RFC loan
;ranted the old Dawes bank.
The bill alleged that the RFC acted'
"in concert" with Dawes, former vice-
president of the United States, 10 ofj
his directors, and the Central Re-
public in diverting assets of the in-
;titution to the recently organized
'ity National Bank and Trust Co.
Baruch Says
HeAgreesTo
Profits Curb
Tells Committee He Must
Be Cleared Or Proven
Guilty Of Charges
Consents To Aid
Munitions Probe
His Income Tax Returns
Were Thrown Away, He
Informs Senators
WASHINGTON, March 27.--(P).-
Expecting an argument, a surprised
Senate munitions committee today
heard Bernard M. Baruch, white-
haired financier, graciously agree in
the main with the committee's pet
theories for taking the profits, out
of war.
At the outset, Baruch sternly de-
manded that he be cleared of "in-
nuendos" or else "proved guilty" of
violating his trust as chairman of
the war industries board under Wood-
row Wilson.
Explains Missing Papers
His eyes sparkling, he insisted that
a false impression had been created
by earlier testimony before the com-
mittee that some of his war-time tax
reports were missing from the Bureau
of Internal Revenue.
Baruch, a target for both Huey
Long and Father Charles E. Coughlin,
said that some of his tax returns had
been destroyed by the Bureau for
space reasons and then the confer-
ence settled down into an amicable
session.
The committee, or most of its mem-
bers, had expressed opposition to Ba-
ruch's ideas for putting a "ceiling"
on prices at the outbreak of war. In
turn, they looked for him to disagree
with their program for taking vir-
tually all wartime profits through
drastic taxation.
Baruch beamed and said that his
reaction was "generally favorable"
and that the plan, drawn by John T.
Flynn, New York economist, con-
tained "views similar to those I have
hitherto supported."
Supports Committee
More than that, he stoutly urged
the committee to go forward with
its plan to eliminate war profits and
offered his help in carrying out the
program.
He read into the records a state-
ment of his own wealth at the time
of the war..
"The amount in bonds was about
$8,500,000," he said.
He presented treasury department
reports showing that in 1916 he paid
taxes of $261,169 on an income of
$2,301,028, and in 1917 a tax of $263,-
762 on net income of $617,061.
"I was called into the government
service in 1917," he said. "I there-
upon arranged to dispose, even at a
loss, when necessity arose, of all those
securities affected by the war. I also
sold my seat on the New York Stock
Exchange, severing myself from all
active business.

Clarence Blessed Testifies
Ballantyne Did Not Like
'Feel Of Transaction'
3 Bankers Indicted
For False Reports
Deliberate Concealing Of
Negotiations Is Charged
By Prosecuton
DETROIT, March 27 -(P)- Clar-
ence D. Blessed, former junior offi-
cer of the First National Bank, De-
troit, testified in Federal court to-
day that John Ballantyne, one of
three officers of the bank being tried
for making false reports to the comp-
troller of the currency, said he didn't
like "the feel of the transaction"
which involved purchase of $212,000
stock in Detroit Bankers Co.
The transaction was the basis for
indictments of Ballantyne, John H.
Hart and Herbert L. Chittenden, and
involved purchase of stock in the
bankers company, holding company
for the bank, with $212,000 received
as payment in full of a $276,439 note
of the Wayne body corporation.
Two Trustees
Blessed testified that he and Her-
man A. Leitner, another vice-presi-
dent, were made trustees of the fund,
giving their note for the amount.
They were to invest the amount in
stock of the holding company at $90
a share and sell it at $111 to recoup
the amount lost on the Wayne corp-
oration note.
Ballantyne, Hart and Chittenden
are the first to go to trial of a group
of Detroit bankers indicted by a Fed-
eral grand jury last year in connec-
tion with the collapse of the First
National. Ballantyne was president
of the bank; Hart, executive vice-
president, and' Chittenden, executive
committee chairman.
Asks Elaboration
Guy K. Bard, special assistant at-
torney general, sought to have Bles-
sed elaborate on his testimony that
Ballantyne did not like "the feel of
the transaction," by asking what sig.
nificance he attached to it.
"I don't believe I can answer that
question," Blessed said.
Bard, in his opening statement yes-
terday, charged the three officers "de-
liberately and fraudulently" concealed
the transaction in which the junior
officers "borrowed" the $212,000 from
the bank for the investment. The
bank, he declared, lost $64,640 in the
Wayne company transaction and'
hoped to make up the loss by purchas-
ing the holding company stock.
Blessed insisted under cross ex-
amination that he knew of no action
taken to conceal the transaction, but;
said he acted only as agent for the
bank in handling the stock purchase.
Instead of rising, the holding com-
pany stock went down.

Featuring a new format and a 'lib-
eralized editorial policy, the March
issue of the Advance magazine will
be offered on sale today.
Attempting, according to the ed-
itors, "to meet Michigan's need for a

land, Me.
Criticism offered in this issue in-
cludes a brief analysis of "Unfinished
Picture," a play presented recently by
the Hillel Players, which charged the
author with "telling the struggle,
rather than presenting it in action,"
and a reply to the analysis by the
author of the play, T. K. Cohen. "In-
cipient Fascism in Contemporary
American Literature," is the title of
a critical article by Eleanor Tugford,
a pseudonym for a campus literature
student, which groups authors into

DEAN-EMERITUS COOLEY
* *, *
Cooley Is Honored
As He Reaches His
Eightieth Birthday
The University is today congrat-
ulating "Michigan's Grand Old Man
of the engineering college," Dean-
emeritus Mortimer E. Cooley, who is
celebrating his eightieth birthday.
In honor of that event and of his
long service in the University, the
Technic, engineering college publi-
cation, honors him with a eulogy and
biographical sketch.
The Technic's biographical sketch
states that his influence on the engi-
neering college "has been so profound
that the college has expanded and
progressed continuously under his
careful direction and under the
principles he laid down."
"His administration, with unrivaled
defiance," the article continues," even
threw a scare into the literary col-
lege." In arace for the highest en-
rollment, Dean Cooley told Prof. Her-
bert J. Goulding, thensecretary of
the engineering college, "By Jove,
Goulding, we'll pass them yet."
Dean Cooley, who was graduated
from the United States Naval Acad-
emy at Annapolis, became in 1881
the youngest full professor in the
history of Michigan education. After
he became dean of the engineering
college, he instituted the research de-
partment here, and under his guid-
ance, it became noted as one of the.
most outstanding in the country.
Riclberg Says NRA -
Only Cure For Ills'
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., March
27 -()- Tossing aside lightly charg-
es of monopoly and oppression of
small business under NRA, Donald R.
Richberg tonight advanced the princ-
iple of the blue eagle as the only cure
for the "disheartening cycle of boom
and bust."
In an address at Rutgers Univer-
sity, the new chaiirman of the re-
covery administrative board sought
to rally support behind the Admin-
istration's drive for the rextension of
NRA, recently opened by President
Roosevelt, but with little immediate
response from Congress.
He set up a goal of "reconstructive
individualism," apparently contrast-
ed with "rugged individualism," as an
aim of the New Deal. Specifically, he
asserted that the President was mov-
ing neither toward Communism nor
Socialism.
Undergraduate Council
To Hold Meeting Today
There will be an important
meeting of the Undergraduate
Council at 5 p.m. today in the
Council rooms of the Union. Carl
Hilty, '35, president, urged that all
members be present to consider
a report on the proposal for stu-
dent government.
FERA Checks
Will Be Issued
BeforeApril 5
All March Work Must Be
Finished Today, State
University Officials
All University FERA workers must
complete their work for March to-
day, administration officials an-
nounced last night.
The reason for this order, it was
explained, is to get all hours in and
pay checks figured up in order to have
the payroll back here from Lansing
before Spring Vacation, which begins
April 5. Heretofore, students work-
ing on the FERA have been allowed
to work to the end of the month.
Hours put in Friday and Saturday
will count on April time, it was ex-
plained by Harold S. Anderson, cost
accountant of the buildings and
grounds department. He stressed the
fact that it is "absolutely necessary"
for all FERA students to complete
their March time today in order to
get their pay for this month before
the Spring Vacation.
The checks will be issued from the
offices of the buildings and grounds
department in the storehouse Wed-
nesday, Thursday, and Friday, April
3, 4, and 5, Mr. Anderson said. The
offices will be open from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. on those days.
All checks must be called for before
the vacation starts, he emphasized,
as the payroll will have to be turned
back to the State FERA offices in
Lansing before school reconvenes
April 15.
All FERA workers who wish to do
so will be allowed to work during the
vacation, provided they get permis-
sion of the head of their project, Mr.
Anderson stated. In previous vaca-
tions, he pointeI out, many students
have taken advantage of that oppor-
tunity.
Lorch To Deliver
Vocational Lecture
The sixth of a series of the voca-
tional guidance series given by the
heads of schools, colleges and depart-
ments of the University will be given
at 4:15 p.m. today by Prof. Emil
Lorch, director of the College of Ar-
chitecture, in Room 1025 Angell Hall.
In the lecture he will discuss re-
quirements for work in that college
and the opportunities in the general
field of architecture. The vocational
lectures have been arranged by Dean
Edward H. Kraus of the literary col-
lege for seniors ofthe literary college
and all others interested.

In Koenigsberg
BERLIN, March 27. -- ) - A
howling mob of Germans angered by
the sentencing to death of four Nazis
in Kaunas, Lithuania, bore down on
the Lithuanian legation tonight only
to meet determined police resistance
and fall back.
Hastily summoned police used
trucks to barricade the Kurfuersten-
strasse--the street where the Lith-
uanian legation is situated alongside
the Polish legation.
The irate mob, part of 60,000 per-
sons who attended one of Berlin's
four protest meetings held tonight,
broke through the first police cordon,
but were stopped by the next.
While the police, continually rein-
forced, kept the throng back from
the darkened legation, cries of "Hitler,
give it to them in the neck!" "Fuehrer,
bring Memel home!" and "Give us the
murderers!" filled the air.
A telephonic inquiry at the legation
late this evening elicited the laconic
reply: "All 'over, no damage done."
K O E N I G S B ERG, East Prussia,
March 27.-- ()- Hundreds of Ger-
mans marched to the Lithuanian le-
gation today to protest the death
sentences imposed on four Nazis at
Kaunas, Lithuania.
The demonstrators bore placards
reading "Protest against the Lithuan-
ian Shame," and shouted "Down with
Lithuanians." Police intervened to
halt the demonstrators.
Similar protest marches were re-
ported from Tilsit.
BERLIN, March 27. -UP)-A hint
that some German rearmament to
check France's domination in Europe
might not be unwelcome to Britain
was given in British quarters here
tonight shortly after an authoritative
source had said that Adolf Hitler de-
mands gun-for-gun and man-for-
man equality with other powers.
Out of the welter of speculation
following the conclusion of Anglo-
German conversations these appar-
ent certainties emerged:
1. Hitler wants as many soldiers, as
many guns, as many airplanes, as
France has.
2. He would like to have arms su-
periority to Soviet Russia.
3. "A small percentage of the Brit-
ish Navy" will content him.
4. He regards German rearmament
as an accomplished fact, and revision
of the Versailles Treaty actually ef-
fected thereby.
5. His insistence on Germany's right
to gleichberechtigung - complete and
unequivocal equality with other pow-
ers in all foreign relationships is un-
changed.
6. The Reich's return to the League
of Nations will depend on his judg-
ment of the treatment accorded Ger-
many.
In London where a cabinet meeting
was called immediately after the ar-
rival of Sir John Simon from Berlin,
authoritative sources said, although
no official version of the parley was
forthcoming, that the Fuehrer's de-
mands included:
1. Economic union with Austria.
2. Return of certain Czechoslovak-
ian territory and repatriation of 3,-
500,000 German residents in it.
3. An air force the equal of the
British or the French, the common
level to be determined by Russia's air
strength.
4. A navy of about 400,000 tons.
An earlier list given out by the
same quarters also included Hitler's
reported demand for return 'of P-
morze - the "Polish corridor" -but
this, the most sensational report yet
to reach London, was corrected im-
mediately after Simon's return.
The Reichsfuehrer, it was explained,
merely discussed future possibilities
regarding German territorial desires
along the Eastern frontier without
making any specific demand in that
connection.

Excavations Are Started By
University Expedition In Egypt
Mayoralty Candidates Present
Views As Election Draws Near
I
By THOMAS H. KLEENE
Nearly 7,000 miles distant from the
'ampus a small band of workers in
gypt has begun turning the sod at
the newest site selected for Univer-
:ity archaeological excavations.
Director Enoch E. Peterson has
left the University party at Kom Aus-
him, ancient Karanis, to work at
,he new site. Ivan Terentief and Se-
meon 'Golobko, chief and second
:iraftsmen, respectively, are now di-
recting the work at Karanis.
A division of the coins unearthed
at Karanis with the Egyptian gov-
3rnment has just been completed by
Mr. Peterson, it was disclosed in a
letter from Egypt received by Univer-
sity authorities.
Situated on the edge of the desert
lose to the upper portion of the Nile
Delta, this new site, known as Kom
Abou Billou, is regarded by Mr. Pet-
r~ an a n. rnmicing o* r,'ainn fn,
that this location has not heretofore
been systematically investigated by
archeologists. The only previous ex-
peditions to this section were those
led by M. Edouard Naville in 1887-88,
who inspected the site and reported
upon it for the Egypt Exploration
Fund, and by the English papryolo-
gists, Grenfell and Hunt.
The Kom Abou Billou settlement
is reported to include two different
parts; the Ptolemaic settlement in the
foothills about one mile west of the
edge of the present cultivation, and
the later city of Roman and Arabic
times, which was built to the east of
the site of the ancient town.
It is expected by Mr. Peterson that
the excavation and study of the
earlier city, dating from Ptolemaic
times, will be "well worth while" in-
asmuch as it has been practically un-
touched by the sebakhin, or gather-
ers of fertilizer.
Vinonni tci nnnrfnr fhP xv~,nrr of
With the declaration of "letting his
administration speak for itself," May-
or Robert A. Campbell, the Repub-
lican incumbent, went into the final
week of his campaign for reelection
to the mayoralty post.
In an interview with The Daily yes-
terday, the present mayor said he was
willing to let his record stand. "I, too,
came into office with ideas of doing
grand things," he said, "but those
ideas would cost the taxpayer money,
and the problem right now is to lessen
his b~urden, not increase it."
The major issues of municipal ad-
ministration which Mayor Campbell
pointed out included the matter of
relief to the unemployed, the effi-
ciency of subordinates, and the rou-
tine matters of city business.
Unemployment relief presents a
great problem in city administra-
tion, he said, because of the necessary
coordination between various depart-
-..-+n- ~L.'L -- 4 _ f^.+
Charging that a better cooperation
between municipal departments and
a closer supervision of purchases
would result in a lower cost of gov-
ernment, John Conlin, '27L, entered
the final stages of his race for may-
or on the Democratic ticket.
"there will be no necessity of a re-
duction in wages, in order to effect
economies in city administration,"
Mr. Conlin told a representative of
The Daily yesterday. "A more strict
supervision of city purchases, togeth-
er with cooperation between the
municipal units, is all that will be
needed," he said.
The Democratic nominee strongly
advocated the use of local labor in
municipal work projects, as well as
in other jobs over which the city
might have some influence.
A strong attack of the way the pres-
ent administration was carrying out
I the relief situiation, xwas voiced by Mr.
