No. 144 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY APRIL 20, 1935 PRICE FIVE CENTS Michigan Defeated Lose Opening Conference Game, 3-2; Regeczi Gets Michigan'sOnly Hit Patehin Goes Whole Game Against Peters All 'M' Runs Scored On Walks; Ohio Scores On Triple And Error COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 19 -(Spe- cial)-University of Michigan's base- ball team lost its opening Big Ten game to Ohio State here today, 3 to 2, narrowly escaping a hit-less per- formance when John Regeezi singled off Peters in the ninth inning. The game was a pitcher's battle throughout. While Peters was trying to hurl his way into baseball's hall of fame, Art Patchim went the route for the Wolverines, and allowed only five hits. But for two passes issued to Clayt Paulson, the Buckeye hurler would have had a shut-out victory. Both Michigan runs were the result of walks, while Ohio scored with base hits. Coach Stahl's men opened the scoring in the first inning, pushing across two runs with two hits and an error. With two men down, Wikel singled. Clawson, who for the past two years has taken a liking to Patch- in's pitches, then slammed out a triple, scoring the first counter. He himself then scored on an error by Jack Teitlebaum. Michigan countered in the fifth with a run. Clayt Paulson walked, stole second, went to third on a passed ball, and scored on Regeczi's fly. Ohio came back in the same in- ning, however, to add another tally. Mosier doubled and Peters won his own ball game by driving in what proved to be the winning run with a single. In the ninth, Paulson walked, went to second on Oliver's out, and scored on Regecz's aforementioned hit, which, while not affecting the out- come of the contest, cost Peters a no- Sellars Says Red Experiment In United States Is Unlikely Lower House Passes.Social Security Bill By FRED WARNER NEAL "It is very unlikely that the Rus- sian development can be repeated in the West," Prof. Roy W. Sellars of the philosophy department 'declared in an interview yesterday. "Russia had a small middle class," he explained, "a strong political rev- olutionary tradition owing to the de- fect of "Tsarism, and the prestige of the rulingclass'had vanished. Con- ditions are not the same in the United States where a large middle class pre- vails. "Fascism is more probable in Amer- ica," Professor Sellars said. He crit- icized democracy. as having "largely ignored fundamntal questions. Dem- ocracy," he declared, "is unduly op- timistic and follows a traditional lais- sez-faire philosophy." However, the political philosopher asserted that "America, together with England, France, and the Scandina- vian countries, is the hope of democ- racy today." In the case of the United States, he said, this is because of the "great elasticity" we give it. As an example, he cited the "great delega- tion of power" given to President Roosevelt. Professor Sellars, in pointing out the intense nationalistic policies in the present day political philosophies on the world scene, criticized the Ver- sailles treaty because "it is not con- structive and expresses the desires of the allies only." Since the treaty's ratification, he stated, "the whole ef- fort has been to maintain the status quo." Professor Sellars is of the opinion that "statesmanship in Europe failed in the Treaty of Versailles and ever since." He called the 17 years since the end of the World War "lost," and declared that "the German Republic was not given a chance." Viewing the crisis abroad, he stated that what confronts Europe is a "con- dition of international anarchy, tem- pered by log-rolling and compro- mises." Professor Sellars declared that "the powers of Europe should concede justice to Germany, not because of her threats, but because of moral principals, based on just equality." He explained that the difficulty lies in the fact that a present concession might be interpreted by Hitler as a concession to Germany's power, an !Continued on Page 61 All Ideas Suggested Roosevelt Message Embodied In Act Funds To Be Used By Are hit game.

University Campus To Be Background For College Movie If you go to the movies in the near future and happen to see some of your friends doing thrilling love scenes on familiar spots on the camp- us projected on the screen, don't be surprised. For next week the production of a romance with the University campus as a background will be started by a Detroit moving picture film. Scenes taken in the stadium, such as the band goipg through its maneu- vers and students singing and cheer- ing after a fottball game, will be sprinkled throughout the movie. The plot centers around a collegian who falls in love with every pretty face and comely figure that he sees. Tryouts for the roles in the pro- duction has been tentatively set for Tuesday in Morris Hall unless further announcement is made. Two Fraternity Men Reinstated By Iowa Dean IOWA CITY, April 19.-(P)- Abe Beechen of Sioux City, and Irv- ing Lewis of Chicago, two of the 23 members of the Phi Beta Delta fra- ternity indefinitely suspended from the University of Iowa for "maintaint ing a disorderly house" were rein- stated tonight. The action was announced by Presi- dent Eugene A. Gilmore, who said it was taken upon the recommendation of Robert E. Rienow, dean of men. Beechen and Lewis were among seven fraternity members who ap- plied for reinstatement. Others have left Iowa City. President Gilmore's statement said, "all other applications were denied at this time," but declined to comment on possible future action by Dean Rienow,or the disicpline board. Reinstatement will be effective fol- lowing the Easter vacation, April 23. Lewis is a sophomore in the college of liberal arts, and Beechen a liberal arts freshman. E. M.

For Financial Aid Session Is Marked By Little Fighting As Democrats Mass Votes WASHINGTON, April 19.-(P) - The Social Security bill, designed eventually to levy upward of $2,783,- 200,000 in new taxes and in return give financial aid to the aged, jobless, children and mothers, was rammed1 through the House today by the over- powering Democratic majority. The final roll call - 372 for and1 only 33 against --ended two days less than three months of rough and tumble dispute. Among those voting against the bill was Rep. Clare Hoff- man, (Rep., Mich. Indications were that more word-battering was in store for the measure in the Senate. As approved by the House, the bill embodied everything outlined in the President's message Jan. 17. At that, time he suggested the "establishment of sound means toward a greater fu- ture economic security of the Amer- ican people." Little Serios Fighting Many Republicans, who had sought to strip the bill of its new taxes, were forced - to prevent "political suicide," they said privately -to vote for the whole measure. In contrastto yesterday when the Democratic machine smothered the liberalizing Townsend, Lundeen, Pope, Greenway and other plans, as well as Republican protests of "unconstitu- tionality," there was little serious' fighting today. Only 16 amendments were proposed and only one, which' had the approval of the Democratic ways and means committee, was adopted. It was not significant. As the final vote approached, Rep. James W. Mott, (Rep., Oregon), chid- ingly complimented the Democratic chiefs who had put the bill through without a single change not accepted by the leaders. "I have never seen a machine so well oiled," he said. Loud yells and applause from the Democratic side answered. Provisions of Bill In the form in which it passed the House, the bill would: 1. Authorize an appropriation of $49,750,000 next fiscal year, and as much as was necessary. thereafter, for grants to states which pay pen- sions to persons who have reached 65. The Federal contribution, on a dollar - for - dollar matching basis, would be limited to $15. 2. Levy taxes, beginning Jan. 1, 1937, on payrolls and incomes for repayment to workers as annuities after they reach 65. The taxes start at 1 per cent each on employee and employer and rise % per cent a year every three years to 3 per cent each in and after 1949. 3. Put a tax on the payrolls of all employers with 10 or more workers. That would start at 1 per cent on Jan. 1, 1936, and increase to 3 per cent Jan. 1, 1938. From this Federal tax, an employer could deduct up to 90 per cent of what he had paid to a state unemployment insurance fund,but expenditure of the money would be left almost entirely up to the states. 4. Make jsmaler , appropriations for Federal aid to states which give assistance to dependent and crippled children, to mothers, and to persons injured in industry. 5. Auhorize additional expendi- tures for public health work. Actuaries estimated that the tax for old-age annuities would be $560,- 200,000 in 1938, and increase gradually to $1,877,200,000 in 1950. They cal- culated that the unemployment in- surance levy would bring in $501,000,- 000 in 1938 and $906,000,000 in 1950. Former Student Is Declared Insane DIXON, Ill., April 19.-- UP) - Har- old Sims. an attorney, and former star swimmer and wrestler at University of Michigan, went suddenly insane today in directing the defense of Charles Skinner, 43 year old poet, on trial for the murder of Olive Derwent, 17. Sims was a graduate of the Mich- igan law school in 1932, according to his father. Since his graduation he has been practicing law here.- Young Sims, whose mind apparently cracked under the strain of the trial, broke up the furnishings of his board- World Awaits Nazi Reply To League Action Hitler May Voice Views On Geneva Rebuke To Birtbday Crowds Litvinoff Troubles French Statesmen Italy Desires Restoration Of Austrian Hapsburgs To Block Pact BERLIN, April 19. - () - While Europe tensely awaited Adolf Hitler's reaction to League of Nations con- demnation of Germany's rearmament, the Reich today made ready to cele- brate the leader's forty-sixth birth- day tomorrow with typical Nazi fervor. An inkling of the course upon which he has decided at secret conferences at Munich and in the Bavarian moun- tains was expected to be given in Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels' radio address at noon to- morrow. While the fiery little Goebbels os- tensibly will devote his ten-minute speech on "Hitler as the private man," to an elaborate eulogy of the Fuehrer observers deemed it likely that he would hint at the Reich's course in the face of the Geneva's action. A propaganda ministry official said tonight that the Chancellor would spend his birthday at hard work on the international situation. May Express Views The spokesman said Hitler himself was not scheduled to make any public address tomorrow since has not pre- pared. Because his birthday will fur- nish the occasion for huge public dem- onstrations, however, some quarters believed it not unlikely that the Chan- cellor might at the last minute seize the opportunity to express his views on the Geneva development. iPreparations for the birthday cele-. bration were elaborate. Employers were instructed to give their em- ployees time off to allow them to at- tend the ceremonies. Church bells will ring throughout the land, flags will bedeck almost every window in the country and stores will display photographs of the former house painter who, since his last birthday, has become the most absolute ruler of a great nation in modern times. 11 Duce Favors Monarchists ROME, April 19. -- (A) - "A cordial colloquy of more than an hour" be- tween Benito Mussolini and Prince von Starhemberg, Europe's chief ex- ponents of Fascism, today served to emphasize official Italy's growing sen- timent for restoration of the Haps- burg dynasty in Austria. Von Starhemberg, handsome, youth- ful vice chancellor of Austria, leader of the 100,000-strong Fascist Heim- wehr and stanch monarchist, talked to Il Duce, it was learned, about the Hapsburgs, Austria's rearmament and the forthcoming Danubian conference in Rome. It is freely conceded here that Ital- ian officialdom looks upon eventual restoration of the monarchy in little Austria as the only means of staving off permanently Austria's union with Germany. Austrian circles said to- night, however, that Von Starhem- berg's report on prospects for an im- mediate restoration was not entirely favorable. Austria alone, without Hungary, would not be sufficient domain for the Hapsburgs, he was reported as saying, and the trend of recent Hun- garian elections was deemed unfa- vorable to the monarchy. Appropriation For University Before House Ruthiven Protests Slashed Budget In Letter T o Governor Fitzgerald LANSING, April 19--(4)--The biennium appropriation for the Uni- versity of Michigan, cut $1,100,000 a year in the recommendations of the house ways and means committee, is now before the house and will come up for the third reading next Wed- nesday or Thursday. The University appropriation, along with other appropriation bills, was sent to the House Thursday. Under a house rule it cannot come up for third reading before five days have elapsed after being reported out by the committee. The proposal of the ways and means committee of the House to drastically slash the University's appropriation would constitute "one of the greatest blows" in the histor.y of this institu- tion, President Alexander G. Ruthven told Governor Fitzgerald in a letter which was received at Lansing yes- terday. President Ruthven advanced the contention that, if the proposed ap- propriation is adopted, the University will be seriously hampered. The original appropriation measure was amended Wednesday in the House committee to give the University an annual budget of $2,700,000 instead of the $3,800,000 which was provided for in the bill as it was first introduced. The income of the University for the past two years has been approxi- mately $4,000,000 per year-$3,200,000 from the state and the other $800,- 000 from reserves, which were mostly unpaid hospital bills owed the Univer-, sity Hospital by the various counties of the state. Sadler Names Appointments For Committee Prof. Walter C. Sadler of the engi- neering college, new president of the common counil, who assumed his duties Monday, announced appoint- ments this week to the standing com- mittee for the coming year. Prof. Roger L. Morrison, also of the engineering college, who was elected to the council in the April vote and who has on various occasions aided Ann Arbor in its traffic problems, has been appointed by Professor Sadler to head the traffic committee. Prof. Glenn Alt, another member of the College of Engineering faculty, who also assumed his duties at the council meeting Monday, has bee named chairman of the sewer com- mittee. Professor Sadler, who was absent from the inauguration ceremonies of other city official, held during Spring Vacation, on account of illness, wa sworn in later by City Clerk Fred C. Perry. Sponsor Strikes Out Of Bill, Leaving One Clause Signs Baldwin Bill; Anti-Communism Proposal. Modified LANSING, April 19 -( )- In the presence of high officials of the Mich- igan department of the American Legion, Governor Fitzgerald signed the Baldwin bill today requiring in- structors in all institutions of higher learning to subsc'ribe to an oath of allegiance to the constitution. Penalties for failure to comply with the new statute would bring a remov- al of the appropriation for state-sub- ported institutions. Tax exemption would be removed for private colleges. Although the Legislature gave the new law immediate effect, provisions of the act need not be enforced until Oct. 1. Lester O. Moody, of Port Huron, state commander of the American Legion, and Walter F. Reynolds, of Detroit, chairman of the subversive activities committee of the Legion, witnessed the governor's signature on the new act. The Legion officials then went to the Senate where Sen. Joseph A. Bald- win, Republican, Albion, sponsor of anti-communism legislation, attempt- d to push through another bill mak- ing it a felony to advocate the over- throw of government. Baldwin with- drew his attempt however, when he learned that a dozen senators were absent. LANSING, April 19-(P)-The anti- lomfiunism bill, sponsored jointly by 3enators Joseph Baldwin and Miller Dunckel, was stripped of most of its subject matter in the Senate today after the governor had signed a.com- arison measure by Senator Bald- vin requiring college instructors to ;wear allegiance to the United States. Senator Baldwin offered an amend- nent that struck out most of the anti-communism bill, leaving only the clause prohibiting appeals for the >verthrow of the government and Denying the ballot to political parties advocating such overthrow, Baldwin explained that much of ,he bill was duplicated by his own neasure, and said any other points -ot covered in either bill could be taken up in a separate measure. The anti-communism bill and the 3aldwin amendment were passed over or the day without action, but it is 3xpected the Senate will follow Bald- yin's recommendations.

Foley, state director of the Federal Housing Administration, spoke yesterday afternoon before a meeting of the Ann Arbor Real Es- tate Board. Mr. Foley described to the Ann Ar- bor group the possibilities of theTed- eral -HousingAct as applied to this city. He stressed the stimulation of new home construction,moderniza- tion and refinancing on the industry of the town. Outlining the work that this or- ganization has accomplished during the past months, Mr. Foley pointed out the change in financing that has become possible in home construction. The old mortgage system has been greatly modified and new homes have been made a much more accessible commodity than formerly. In addition to his speech at the meeting, Mr. Foley gave the real estate dealers information that they Shakespearean Collection Is In Display Cases Of Main Library Students Will Participate In Municipal Airport Open House Eleven Michigan students are ex- pected to participate in the air show1 which is to feature the spring Open' House at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport tomorrow. Prof. Waldo M. Abbot, director of the campus broadcasting studios, will announce the events, which include a parachute jump by Eugene Richard- son, manager of the field, and various contests of flying skill. Two women students who are among those participating in the con- tests, are Laura May Brunton, part- time student from Bozeman, Mont., who has a private license; and Dor- othy Carpenter, Grad., from Laconia, N TT IP ni e n wilm PnLTTq.E'P licenses will engage in a bomb-drop- ping contest, in which they will at-' tempt to drop bags of lime within a circle on the ground; and those with an amateur license or less will partici- pate in a spot landing contest, in which they will make three point landings as close as possible to a given mark. The air show is a continuation of a series, of which three have already been staged. More than 30 students of the University, it was estimated, are at present learning to fly at the air- port and will be sufficiently advanced to enter contests to be held this sum- mer.

Hymans, curator of rare books, features the McMillan Shakespearean collection, a group of books purchased with funds given the library by former Senator James B. McMillan, of Detroit. Only the rarer and more interest- ing items of the, collection are on display as the entire group consists of over 8,000 pieces. Of these 6,525 were purchased in 1885 underrthe supervision and direction of Prof. Demmon. Many others have been added during the succeeding years by various Shakespearean experts. Perhaps most interesting of the items on display are the numerous examples of rewriting and altera- tion of the Shakespeare's famous works. Few of the plays escaped in the possession of the University. One of the rarer pieces is the Restora- tion quarto of "Hamlet," only six copies of which are known to be in existence. The edition is character- ized bythe "fivetlinesimprint." In the case of translations are rep- resentative imprints from the major- ity of the principal languages and countries. There are copies of the Wuland German edition of 1765, the first translation into any foreign language, the first Dutch translation of 1778, Le Tourneur's French edi- tion also of 1778, an Italian edition of 1847, a more modern Latin trans- lation, a Greek edition from Athens in 1886, a Portuguese edition from Lisbon in 1877, an Icelandic edition from Reykjavik in 1874, a Spanish edition of 1798, a Russian edition from St. Petersburg in 1884 and a Hebrew !rtinn rn m Vmnnn. in 1R7R May Shorten Sentence Of x American Spy Reports From Prison In Finland Say Jacobson's Term Might Be Cut Word from the prison at Abo, Fin- land, yesterday intimated that the ,erm of Arvid V. Jacobson, '28, who .s now serving a five year sentence n charges of Communistic espionage, nay possibly be shortened. Jacobson, who took his AB degree in education and his master's degree here in two years, was arrested in Helsingfors, the Finnish capital, in October, 1933, by government police. He was accused of aiding in a Soviet plot to obtain official Finnish military secrets. During his long trial, which was culminated with his five year sen- tence in April, 1934, he gave "valu- able information" to the Finnish High Court, which is claimed to have aided the prosecution's care against others involved. It is for this reason that the state department at Washington and Hor- ace M. Albright, United States min- ister to Finland, expressed the opin- ion that Jacobson's term, termed "lenient" by the sentencing judge, might be shortened more. Five others were sentenced at the
