'LampoonDoors
Padlocked As
Editors Resign
Magazine Building To Be
Locked For Remainder
Of School Year
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 20 -(R')
- The three principal officers of the
Harvard Lampoon, whose parody last
week on a nationally known magazine
resulted in the issue being barred
from the mails, quit today and the
Lampoon building was padlocked for
nearly a month.
A terse statement issued by Harvard
University read:
"The University has taken no ac-
tion in regard to the Harvard Lam-
poon. The trustees of the Lampoon
have notified the University that the
Lampoon building will be closed from
Monday, May 20, to Saturday, June
15; and that the president, treasurer,
and secretary of the Lampoon have
resigned."
The only graduate trustee who was
available declined to discuss the case
or the assertion of the Boston Eve-
ning Transcript that President James
Conant had abandoned Harvard's
traditional "hands-off" policy in re-
gard to undergraduate activities by
giving the editors of the Harvard
humorous publication the option of
resigning or permanently shutting
shop.
The University office said it under-
stood the last two issues of the year
would be issued as usual, with the
student editors using their rooms as
offices.

Mood As 300 Frogs
Take Part In Meet
ANGELS CAMP, Calif., May 20.-
( - All of the 300 amphibians did
better than Jim Smiley's famous
"Dan'l," but the world's frog jump-
ing record was still intact today after
the seventh Annual Angels Camp
:ubilee held in commemoration of
Mark Twain's famous jumping frog
story.
"Dan'l" it was who could not jump
because he had been nefariously filled
with buckshot by the unscrupulous
owner of a competitor.
Stockton frogs swept the three
prize-winning places in the jump
finals yesterday. "Zip," owned by Ed-
die Robinson, led with 12 feet, 3 '/
inches, far behind the record set by
"Budweiser" in 1931 at 13 feet, 3
inches.
Louis Robinson, brother of Eddie,
nudged his frog, "Leaping Lightning,"
into second at 11 feet, 7'/% inches,
and Robert Tianelli's "Wee Gee" cap-
tured third with a leap, or rather
three successive leaps, totaling 11
feet, 5 inches.
Illinois Hunger
Marchers Come
To Sprinodfield
Camp Set Up In Capitol
As Fifth Relief Bill Vote
Approaches
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 20-W)-
Hunger marchers opened headquar-
ters and welcomed their first contin-
gents tonight as the legislature neared
its fifth, and perhaps decisive, vote on
the bitterly fought relief measure.
Leaders of the Illinois Workers Alli-
ance, organization of the unemployed,
said this trek to the capital would be
their largest and last - that the
marchers would establish a peyma-
nent camp and stay in Springfield
until funds again were provided for
the state's 1,200,000 relief clients.
As the first marchers trickled in,
Gov. Henry Horner, confident his
broadcast Sunday night had started a;
backfire behind Republican opposi-
tion to their three-cent sales tax pro-
posal, predicted the 102 votes neces-
sary for its emergency enactment
would be delivered tomorrow.
Thousands Join 'Foodless'
Over the state, the thousands who
went "foodless" yesterday were joined
by additional thousands today. Gov.
Horner estimated that the number
exhausting supplies daily "from now
until the legislature acts" would be
20,000.
In Chicago bare necessities were
provided about 10,000 of the neediest
by diverting funds set aside to meet
unpaid obligations.
Rent on relief stations, office sup-
plies and medical attention were sac-
rificed to stave off actual starvation.
The county coinmissioners met in
special session but took no action
pending tomorrow's legislative vote.
Clayton Smith, president of the
board, said he was certain that, if
the sales tax increase could not be
passed on an emergency basis, it
would be adopted, effective July 1,
and Washington w o u 1 d advance
money to ease the situation.
Transient Cases Dwindle
There were a few pleasant surprises
as well as drab incidents in the gen-
eral relief picture. A few got work,
the transient shelters, ordered to close
as supplies were consumed, found
their clients numbered only one-third
of last week's figure, and many local
authorities volunteered to assume the
load temporarily.
But an estimated 90,000 relief fam-
ilies in Cook county who had eaten
their last donated food, got no addi-
tional orders today. Down-state esti-
mates were that 100,000 fared the
same.
Some indication that the compro-
mise- for the three cent sales tax to
remain in force until only Feb. 1,
1936, instead of two years, might not
mollify the Republican House mem-
bers came from Minority Leader L. M.

Five Scorers
EVANSTON, Ill., May 20.-- (P) -
There wasn't much hope left for the
rest of the field in the annual Big
Ten golf championships tonight after
Michigan's quartette of shooting
stars, led by Johnny Fischer and
Charlie Kocsis, stopped firing at par
at the Kildeer Country Club.
There were 36 of the 72 holes left
to play -and everything can hap-
pen in golf - but the only question
appeared to be whether Kocsis or
Fischer, who tied each other today by-
trimming par by one shot for 139,
would be crowned 1935 Conference
champion.
Given a wide advantage by the
two stars, Michigan took a 27-stroke
lead in its campaign to retain the
team title, landing all four men in the
first five leaders.
Northwestern Is Second
The Wolverines posted a total of1
575 or 15 over par for 144 holes1
shot by the team as against 602 by
Northwestern, the runner-up. Illi-
nois had 624 to rank third. The
other teams were fairly well bunched.
They were Ohio State 630, Minne-
sota 631. Iowa 633, Wisconsin 636,l
Indiana 642, Chicago 655, and Pur-
due 662.t
Nine shots behind Kocsis and
Fischer in the individual champion-
ship fight were Allen Saunders, an-1
other Wolverine and Bob Brown,f
Northwestern, who had 148. Wood-t
row Malloy, the fourth member of the
Wolverine quartette, ranked next with
149. The rest of the scores rangedE
from 150 by Tom Saielli, Northwest-
ern to 174 by Richard Ely of Chi-
cago.
Kocsis Stars
Kocsis, who won the Big Ten crown1
last year while Fischer was cam-l
paigning with the American Walker
Cup team in England, made superb
finishes on the back nine twice todaya
to finish all square with his tall team-
mate.
In the morning, Charlie took 38
blows on the out nine, only to rush
back with a 32 for a par 70. In the
afternoon he needed 37 out but came1
back with another 32 for a 69. His
best hole was the fourteenth in the1
morning round where he put a great
wood shot together with a brilliant
putt for an eagle three.
Fischer, off to a one-stroke lead in
the morning with rounds of 33-36-69,
slumped to a 37 'on the front nine
in the afternoon but found the range
with a 33 on the way back for his 70.
Johnny was shooting for birdies from
five and six feet on almost every
hole but could not drop them in.
Saunders suffered the big slump
of the leaders, falling to a 78 in the
afternoon after shooting par 70 in the
morning.

a picnic with a Smith college girl and
thought the blanket might come in
handy. The police said he further
told them that in his part of the coun-
try the loss of articles was figured
into room charges.
When the question of bail arose he
recalled his father's association with
former President Coolidge and sug-
gested that his widow, Mrs. Grace
Coolidge, go surety for him. She was
not approached, however, for a fellow
student provided bail. Babcock went
on his picnic without the blanket.

Plans To Present Case Of
Union Of Social Justice
Before Senate
DETROIT, May 20 - )(A)- The Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin marshalled wit-
nesses today to present the case of his
National Union for Social Justice at a
Senate hearing on the Nye-Sweeney
banking bill, which would nationalize
the Federal Reserve system.
Fr. Coughlin said in a radio address
last night that the national union,
"encouraged" by the testimony of
Secretary of the Treasury Henry J.
Morgenthau, Jr., before the Senate
banking and currency committee
last week, had applied for an imme-
diate hearing on the measure before
that group.
He hailed Morgenthau as the first
Federal official "to propose the gov-
ernment ownership of the central
banking system," and added theope
that the treasury department head
"expressed the adopted views of the
entire administration."
Fr. Coughlin reiterated his de-
fense of the Patman bonus bill on
what appeared to be the eve of itsI
veto by the President. But regard-
less of the White House's course, the
priest said, "the people have decided"
on the measure, which he termed "a
real test" of the union's monetary
policies.
He termed "insignificant," how-,
ever, the accomplishments of his or-
ganization in the World Court and
bonus disputes "compared to what
you are about to do in supporting
the Nye-Sweeney bill, without which
the sane distribution of wealth would
be impeded."
Fr. Coughlin parried the epithet,
"printing press money," with the
statement that the union advocates
only currency solidly backed by gold
or silver in the treasury, in contrast
with "the penmanship, or checkbook
money of the bankers."
NOTED COMPOSER DIES
PARIS, May 18. - (IP) - Paul Du-

day at the age of 70.
Among his more popular works are
the "Sorcerer's Apprentice," and "Ari-
ance and Blue Beard."
From China Cruise
Warships Are Shifted As
Soldiers Are Assigned To
Northern Border
PARIS, May 20. - VP) - France is
transferring her naval strength from
Mediterranean waters, it was learned
today,'to protect herself against any
possible danger from Germany's na-
val rearmament.
The sea force which defends the
British Channel and the North Sea
is being strengthened. Four torpedo
boats and the destroyer Lynx are
expected to be transferred from the
Mediterranean to the Channel fleet
after maneuvers off Morocco in eraly
June, along with other reinforce-
ments.
This move co-ordinates the transfer
of thousands of soldiers from the Ital-
ian frontier to fortifications along the
Franco - German border, following
Adolf Hitler's announcement of mil-1
itary conscription.
Submarines Win Praise
P aise greeted the return of the
1,500-ton submarines Glorieux and
Heros to their base at Toulon from
Saigon, Cochin-China, after a 16,800-r
mile cruise. They are representatives
of France's 30 long-range submarines
called a "battle corps" of submarinel
squadrons.
Within six months France has more
than doubled the navy's second
squadron, responsible for protection'
of the coast from the North Sea to'
the Gulf of Gascogne.
In the June maneuvers off Moroccoj
cruisers of the first, or Mediterranean,
squadron will meet cruisers of the
second, or Western Seaboard squad-1
ron.
BERLIN, May 20-(IP)-Adolf Hit-
ler spent most of the day writing the'
speech which he will make to the
Reichstag tomorrow night to tell the
world what the Nazi regime has to
offer to alleviate European tension.
Der Fuehrer was buoyed by dem-
onstrations in his honor at the open-
ing at Frankfurt-on-the-Main yester-
day of the Reich's first road exclu-
sively for automobiles.
He will face one of his most critical
moments tomorrow. T h e largest
Reichstag in history, although one of
the most impotent, which now has
669 members, including eight newly
appointed deputies from the Saar, was
chosen as the forum for Hitler's views.
"You take the initiative," has been
Great Britain's constant plea to Ger-
many's leader to alleviate the inter-
national tension. "We spoke at
Stresa and Geneva, now what have
you to say?"
Army Cut Plea Revealed
Well-informed Wilhelmstrasse cir-
cles said London had advised Hitler
he should content himself with an
army of about 350,000 men, thereby
allaying the fears of German aggres-
siveness, and join the revised Eastern
Security Pact.
Hitler is said to feel, however, that
the Reich's entrance into an Eastern
pact is impossible since France, Rus-
sia and Czechoslovakia have entered
a military alliance and Lithuania has
been friendly to Soviet Russia.

$20,000 From
Local Budget
Appropriation Decreased
$20,000 After Lengthy]
Dis cussi on
A reduction of nearly $20,000 in
the annual municipal budget of the,
city of Ann Arbor was effected last
night when the Common Council of
the city passed, after considerable
discussion, the budget figures as orig-
inally prepared by the committee o
the council and which were recom-
mended last week by the council it-
self acting as a committee of the
whole.
The decision was not at all unani-
mous, but a majority of the aldermer
preferred the final figure of $463,-
216.41 without change. The tota'
expenditure last year was $482,604.98
One of the items ovAr which contro
versy was raised was the item pro-
viding for two additional officers foi
the police department in order tc
maintain a more efficient scout cai
surveillance. The value of this typc
of protection for the residential sec-
tions of the town was questioned buf
the measure was finally passed.
No changes were made during th(
course of the consideration of the
figure from the first draft as sub-
mitted by the budget committee. Th'
material decrease in the total thi
year is a result of the decreases ir
the estimates of expenditures sub-
mitted by several of the departmen
of the city. Only three of the de-
partments had prepared sums in ex-
cess of last year's amounts, and these
in total amounted to less than the de-
creases effected by the others.
The first and second readings of <
new ordinance to increase the penalt3
for drunk and disorderly conduc
from $50 to $100 or 90 days in jail
or both, were also passed at the meet-
ing. A third reading will be necessar3
before the measure goes into effect
The measure was taken up after City
Attorney William A. Laird described a
"man from Chelsea" who came over
every few days to get drunk and could
only be penalized $50.

Appeal From
Ethiopia King
GENEVA, May 20. - (WP)- After
Haile Selassie of Ethiopia got in the
first blow, the council of the League
of Nations assembled today to review
his menacing border quarrel with
Italy.
In a personal telegram to Geneva
the "king of kings" appealed to the
League to halt Italy's huge program
of military preparations in northeast
Africa and accused Rome of evading
international obligations
"Italy initiated a campaign of
propaganda in an endeavor to justify
her occupation of Ethiopian territory
as a mission of civilization and her
aggression and rapacity against oui
people as the treatment to a barbar-
ian nation," his telegram asserted.
"No agreement has been or will be
possible by diplomatic means to ar-
range for a genuine and impartial
examination in Italy's present state
of mind."
He charged that Italy's selection
of two government officials as con-
ciliators was "likely to render an im-
partial examination difficult, if not
impossible."

Philosophy Of Acting Evolved
By Star Of 'Laburnum Grove'
By ELSIE A. PIERCE
Although Edmund Gwenn, star of
the current dramatic Season offering,
"Laburnum Grove," which opened last
night at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theater, became an actor only be-
cause his parents wouldn't let him be
a sailor, now he takes his profession
so seriously that he has evolved a
philosophy of acting.
"A good actor must have perfecti
ease and polish which he can obtain
only from years of experience, and
he must be able to play his roles so
naturally that he can believe he is not
acting the part, but living it," he ex-
plained. "If he can accomplish this,
he can keep the part fresh and natur-
al, and it does not suffer from artifi-
cial acting." He doesn't believe in
using make-up because he thinks it
destroys the illusion of reality, and he
never uses it himself.
Gwenn does not merely theorize
