On May_31 At Union
Winners Of Contest To Be
Announced By Professor
Howard M. Jones
Henry Hazlitt, distinguished critic
and editor, will deliver the fourth an-
nual Hopwood lecture at 4:15 p.m.,
May 31, in the Union Ballroom. Fol-
lowing Mr. Hazlitt's address on "Lit-
erature Versus Opinion," the 1935
winners of the Avery and Jule Hop-
wood Awards contest will be an-
nounced.
Prof. Howard M. Jones of the Eng-
lish department, director of the Hop-
wood Committee in the absence of
Prof. Roy W. Cowden, will announce
the winners of both major anddminor
prizes in the fields of fiction, drama,
essay and poetry. Over 50 mau-
scripts were submitted this year.n-
Mr. Hazlitt, considered one of the
ablest among younger American crit-
ics, is best known for his "The Anat-
omy of Criticism," a wide-ranging1
and informing book of literary crit-
icism. His career has been a bril-1
liant one. From 1925 to 1933 Mr.
Hazlitt served as literary editor and
free lance critic, for the Nation and1
the Sun.
In 1934 for a short time he was
editor of the American Mercury, re-1
placing the famous H. L. Mencken.+
At the present time he is serving on
the staff of the New York Times. Mr.
Hazlitt's many magazine articles and1
reviews have appeared in Scribner's,
The Nation, Current History, The
American Mercury. and The New
York Times.
As a critic, Mr. Hazlitt is well known
for his sane, penetrating criticism,
and his special qualifications as an+
economist and student of affairs, in
addition to his equipment in litera-
ture. He is known to be sympathetic
toward "the new, the unusual, and the+
radical" in contemporary literature,
yet too thoroughly grounded in the1
writings of the past to be an ad-..
vocate of particular theories or lit-.1
erary cliques.
This year's lecture. like the past
three years, will be open to the public.

During First Lap Of
621 Mile Course
NEW YORK, May 16 -(p)- Fly-
ing high over a 621-mile triangular
course, D. W. "Tommy" Tomlinson
tonight piloted a twin-motored Doug-
las airliner on a 3,100-mile non-stop
flight toward new national and in-
ternational airplane speed and load
records.
Accompanied by Joseph E. Bar-
Ies, co-pilot, the former Navy ace
and present TWA pilot took off from
Floyd Bennett Field at 5:59 a.m.
(Eastern standard time) on an eight-
een-hour grind over a closed course
between New York, Washington and
Norfolk, Va.
At the end of the first lap - one
complete circuit of the course -he
had set three new national 'speed
marks for 1,000 kilometers with loads
of 500 and 1,000 kilograms and with-
out load.
When he finished his second lap,
at increased speed, he had cracked
two world records held by France for
speed over 2,000 kilometers with loads
of 500 and 1,000 kilograms. One
thousand kilograms is 2,205 pounds,
slightly over a ton.
In all, if he completes five full laps
for 5,000 kilometers, Tomlinson will
have shot at nine world and nine
Uniited States records for speed at
1,000, 2,000, and 5,000 kilometers,
each divided in the categories of nol
load, load of 500 kilograms and load
of 1,000 kilograms.

Arrangements have been made
whereby fraternities, sororities, and
other groups of any size may reserve
tables for special parties. Miss Seel-
ey reported that many reservations
have already been made. Dean-
Emeritus Mortimer E. Cooley of the
engineering college will attend the
banquet as a guest of honor.,

train which has been donated by a
Detroit auto-body manufacturing
agency.
Supplementary announcements and
additions to the program as present-
ed may be obtained at the Union and
the League._
Industry Seeks
Revised Social
Security Plan
WASHINGTON, May 16.-()-- -A
report expressing "every sympathy"
for the objectives of the President's
social security program, but asking
changes to stimulate employers to
provide steady work was made public
today by the 50 majoi' industrial
executives comprising the Adminis-
tration's Business Advisory Council.
Meanwhile, the Senate Finance
Committee modified the administra-
tion social security bill to permit in-
dividual company reserves for unem-
ployment insurance, as in the Wis-
consin plan, but failed to reach a final
vote on the big economic protection
program.
The House bill required state-wide
pools for unemployment insurance.
Senator Robert M. LaFollette (Pro.,
Wisc.), offered the amendment to
permit company reserves, arguing
that otherwise the Wisconsin laws
and others now in effect would be in-
valid.

Stock Market Booms
As Bulls Gain Control
NEW YORK, May 16. - UP) - The
lean bulls of Wall Street stampeded,
throwing off sparks of their old time
flare today.
The stock market, as measured by
price averages, was hoisted to the
best level since last July, while tickets
hummed to the largest volume of
trade since the 26th of that month.
The gains of $1 to more than $3
a share were sprinkled throughout
the list, and scores of issues registered
new highs for 1935 or longer. The
turnover aggregated 2,490,010 shares,
and commissions fell upon the hungry
brokerage community like manna,
after the long months of averagedaily
business of well over a million shares.
The buying enthusiasm spread to
the the bond market, where many of
the lower priced rail issues rose $1 to
$2 per $100 par value.
Senate Passes
Wagner Labor
Disputes Bill
Large Majority Accepts
Measure; Sent To House
For Approval{
WASHINGTON, May 16. - (') -
Gathering such momentum that only;
12 shouted votes of "no" were record-
ed against it, the Wagner Labor Dis-
putes Bill, designed to guarantee the;
rights of workers to bargain collec-
tively and to curb company unions,
today swept through the Senate and
went to the House.
Only eight Republicans and four
Democrats placed themselves openly
in opposition in the 63 to 12 ballot,
widely considered a major victory for
labor. Bitteily fought by many in-
dustrial factions, it places a ban
against all company unions dominat-
ed by employers and provides for
bargaining through representatives
chosen by a majority in plant dee-
tions. Not a single floor amendment
was attached.
President Gets Bonus Bill
About the same time, the Patman
Bonus Bill was sent to the White;
IFuse, where earlier in the day it was
announced definitely that President
Roosevelt would veto it.
Aside from a brief speech by Sen-
ator Daniel O. Hastings, (Rep., Del-;
aware), contending that it was un-
constitutional because it "denied"
freedom for minorities, and a futile
attempt by Senator Millard Tyd-
ings, (Dem., Maryland), to amend it
by forbidding one labor group from
coercing another, there was virtually
no outspoken opposition.
Eight Republicans Dissent
The eight Republicans answering
"no" were Warren R. Austin and
Ernest W. Gibson, of Vermont; Fred-
erick Hale, of Maine; Hastings, Henry
W. Keyes, of New Hampshire; Jesse
H. Metcalf, of Rhode Island; John
G. Townsend, of Delaware, and Ar-
thur H. Vandenberg, of Michigan.
Senator Charles L. McNary, the Re-
publican leader, was among 12 Re-
publicans voting for it, along with 49
Democrats, the Farmer-Laborite,
Henrik Shipstead and the Progressive,
Robert M. LaFollette.
Briefly, the Wagner Bill would:
Establish a permanent Labor Re-
lations Board of three members, a
kind of quasi - judicial body with
power to order by secret ballot or
otherwise an election to determine
collective bargaining representatives.
Any orders promulgated by it after
an election would be reviewable by
the courts.
CONVICT FORMER BANKERS
DETROIT, May 16 -(P)- Four
former officers of the First National
bank of Blissfield were convicted by
a Federal court jury today of conspir-
ing to misapply $23,942 of bank funds.
The jury recommended leniency.
8 Fellowships
Are Awarded
To Graduates
$500 Grants Are Renewed
For Next Semester; One1
Full Year Prize Given
Name John Keyser
RecipientOf $1,000
Scholarships Are Based On
Results Of Intelligence
Tests
Seven one-semester University fel-
lowships for. $500 each, and a full
year grant of $1,000, awarded solely
on the basis of intelligence tests, were
announced yesterday by Dr. Clarence
S. Yoakum, dean of the Graduate
School.
The $500 fellowships are all renew-
als of fellowships originally granted
by one of the University's foundations
last February.
Recipients, all graduate students,
are Carl Hart Schaaf, Emil J. Kono-
pinski, Gennady M. Kosolapoff, James
C. LaDriere, Lillian Ogoroskin, Victor
A. Goedicke, and Israil A. Warheit.
John C. Keyser received the $1,000
award.
Intelligence Test Basis
According to Dean Yoakum, these
scholarships are the only ones known
granted on the basis of intelligence
tests. The procedure, he explained,
is for each department to recommend
a graduate student of "high caliber"
to the Graduate School. These nomi-
nees are then given the tests, which
include current affairs, and intelli-
gence tests dealing with mathematics,
language, and social sciences.
The fellowships, the money for
which came out of a $10,000 grant by
a foundation, are not expected to be .
renewed at the end of next year's
first semester, Graduate School offi-
cials indicated.
The idea of granting them for one
semester only is in line with a recent
recommendation of President Alex- -
ander G. Ruthven, as is the intelli-
gence test method of awarding them.
Tests Taken In February
Thirty-four graduate students took
the tests last February, 11 being
awarded fellowships. Those who
worked under the $500 grant last
semester and whose awards were not
renewed are: Richard Deno, Norbert
H. Tell, William L. Jenkins, and
Charles B. Tonpkins. Those to
whom renewals were not made are
planning to leave the University next
year, according to officials of the
Graduate School.
Commenting on the results of the
intelligence tests, Dean Yoakum
pointed out that a physicist, a chem-
ist, a psychologist, and a language
degree candidate ranked among the
top scorers in the current affairs
division.
The dean explained that while the
University is the first institution in
the world to award fellowships on
that basis, the National Research
Council in New York City is plan-
ning to follow the same system soon.

Officials Expect
British Cabinet
Shakeup S o o n
Baldwin May Be Premier;
MacDonald Mentioned
For Foreign Secretary
LONDON; May 16 -(A)- The pos-
sibilities of a shakeup in the British
cabinet were discussed avidly today,
not only in Parliament lobbies, but in
government circles.
A strong attack launched against
Sir John Simon, foreign secretary,
by conservatives headed by Sir Aus-
tin Chamberlain and W i n s t o n
Churchill has given rise to reports
Premier Ramsay MacDonald may
become foreign secretary, a post he
formerly held, with Baldwin resuming
the premiership.
MacDonald was granted a private
audience with King George tonight,
which was linked with the possibilities
that the King's honors list June 3
may create cabinet vacancies.
A conflict over the cabinet centered
about foreign policy, with opponents
charging Simon had pro-German
sympathies and had aroused the ire
of Benito Mussolini, bringing about
Il Duce's ringing speech two days
ago in which he warned other powers
to keep their hands off the Italo-
Ethiopian dispute.

Commonwealth
Contributions To Provide
Additional Funds For
Underprivileged Boys
The Starr Commonwealth for boys
will hold its annual tag day here to-
morrow, it was announced by Prof. J.
Raleigh Nelson of the English depart-
ment, chairman of the local advisory
committee. The boys will arrive early
tomorrow morning, and will be assist-
ed by committees from the dormi-
tories, several of the fraternities and
sororities and the local King's Daugh-
ters.
They will be the guests of the
Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon
and of the Congregational Fellow-
ship at a dinner. The work of this
institution for underprivileged boys
has won international recognition as
one of the first and one of the most
successful projects of its kind in the
world, according to Professor Nel-
son.
For 21 years Mr. Starr has taken
juvenile court cases from all over the
state, has given them a home, school-
ing and personal guidance, and has
sent hundreds of them out to be use-
ful citizens. "This work," Professor
Nelson stated, "is so far beyond the
experimental stage as to make a very

Professor Reeves, who was inclined
to minimize the importance of yes-
terday's Associated Press dispatch
from London, asserted that "the
