RAPID CITY, S. D., Nov. 11. - (V)
- Two intrepid Army airmen - cer-
tain that their ascent unofficially re-
corded at more than 14 miles into the
eerie stratosphere had eclipsed all
previous records - landed their
patched balloon safely near White
Lake, S. D., at 4:15 p.m., Central
Standard Time, today.
The flight began at 8 a.m., Central
Standard Time, and the balloon was
aloft eight hours and 13 minutes.
White Lake is about 240 miles
southeast of the natural ampi-theatre
here from which the big craft took
off.
I For four and a half hours Capt,
Albert W. Stevens, the commander,
and Capt. Orvil Anderson, the pilot,
had maneuvered their seven-ton craft
up through a sea of space, until they
had risen the farthest, man has ever
ventured above the earth.
Then they flashed a "ceiling" bar-
ometric reading of 27.5 millimeters
from the confines of their metal gon-
dola.
Earth-bound scientists interpreted
this as meaning they had soared more
than 74,000 feet - far beyond the un-
official mark of 72,176 feet claimed
for three Russian adventurers who
lost their lives in descending from the
heavens last year.
Stay Half-Hour At Peak
For a half hour, sealed in their
nine-foot metal prison dangling by
hempen threads from the world's
largest free balloon, the aviators made
rapid-fire scientific observations as
they rode at their peak altitude.
Above and beyond stretched a black
infinity. Below the Western Ne-
braska sandhills were obscured by a
vague expanse of white verging into
blue.
Sixty-eight-below-zero cold sur-
rounded the sky ship as it moved
gently like a tailed, 315-foot comet.
Inside it was 19 degrees above zero
but, the fliers calmly reported over
the wireless ,they were quite "com-
fortable" in their fur-lined flying
suits.
At 1:05 p.m. Central Standard Time
-five hours and five minutes after
they had vaulted from a natural bowl
in the Black Hills near Rapid City
and whisked aloft at a speed that at
times reached 500 feet a minute, the
voice of Stevens broadcast from the
top rung of aviation's Jacob's ladder:
"We're starting down now."
Three Hours To Descend
To a world that was thrilled by the
uncanny demonstration, the captain
continued in a business-like manner:
"It will take about three hours to
get down. We're going to try to come
down very slowly."
Those who recalled the ill-starred
finale of the same pair's 1934 venture
into the stratosphere - when their
balloon ripped open 60,000 feet over
Nebraska and they were forced to bail
out in parachutes - crossed fingers.
It was apparent that the descent

was proceeding too rapidly. The
captains dropped some of their scien-
tific instruments. Anderson report-
ed they were having some "difficulty"
trying to brake the drop to 300 to 400
feet a minute because they were still
in the "iso-thermal" layer.
Gordon, Sick
Band Member,
Resting Easily
The condition of Donald Gordon,
'38, a member of the Varsity-R.O.T.C.
Band, who was stricken by appendi-
citis at the Illinois game was de-
scribed yesterday by doctors in Chi-
cago as satisfactory, and a report
said that "he was resting comfort-
ably."
According to George Hall, '36BAd.,
manager of the band, Gordon was
seized by a pain Friday when the
band stopped on a sightseeing trip on
the North side of Chicago.

Court Rulincrs
Show Victory,
Of 'New Deal'
Guffey Coal And Amended
Agricultural Adjustment
Acts Denied Review
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-(IP)-
The Government won two technical
victories in New Deal litigation to-
day when the Supreme Court de-
clined to review cases involving the
Guffey Coal and the amended Agri-
cultural Adjustment Acts.

Solicitor General Stanley Reed al-
so was given permission to argue the
validity of the Bankhead Cotton Con-
trol Law in a cast already pending
before the Court which may involve
the Constitutional question, even
though the Government is not a party
to the suit.
The New Deal and its disputed laws
were given attention as follows in "or-
ders" handed down by Chief Justice
Hughes:
1-The Court rejected the request
of the Washburn-Crosby Milling Co.
of Kansas for a review of a case in-
volving the constitutionality of pro-
cessing taxes levied since Congress
amended the AAA act to "strengthen"
it last August.
2-The Court refused to grant a
temporary injunction restraining the
Government from assessing the Guf-
fey Coal Law's so-called "penalty"
tax of 15 per cent against the Carter
Coal Co. of West Virginia. It also
rejected a request for a review of the
District of Columbia Supreme Court's
refusal to grant a temporary restric-

Italy Lodges
Protest With
Fifty Nations
League Receives Notices
Of Sanction Resentment
Individually
United States Told
Of Italian Attitude
Mussolini Parades Militia,
Warns World Of Italy's
Invincibility
ROME, Nov. 11. - (P) -Italy to-
night formally protested to half a
hundred nations the adoption of
sanctions by the League of Nations
against her.
This was disclosed a few hours af-
ter Premier Mussolini paraded part
of his 1,200,000 soldiers and warned
the world that Italy can take care of
herself in Europe as well as in Africa.
Separate notes were dispatched to
all governments participating in
sanctions, one week before they are
to go into effect.
(In Washington, Ambassador Ros-
so presented to Undersecretary of
State William Phillips, "for the in-
formation of the United States," the
text of the note dispatched by Italy
to sanctionist governments.)
A spokesman explained that al-
though the League itself voted sanc-
tions, it delegated their application
to a committee of representatives of
sovereign nations.
'Read About It In Papers'
Italy, he added, has received no
official notice that sanctions have
been invoked, but "we know they
have been, because we read about
them in newspapers and have ex-
perienced their effects."
He explained that the protests were
made directly to individual nations
rather than through the League be-
cause Italy regards the sanctions
,committee as outside the League A
text of the note may be made public
tomorrow.
Italy also protested separately to
the Egyptian Government because of
its adherence to sanctions. Egypt is'
not a member of the League.
Informed circles regarded the pro-
test as a continuation of Italy's policy
of accepting sanctions "with sacri-
fices and discipline," but at the same
time contesting their legality.
II Duce Speaks
Il Duce, speaking today to massed
thousands from the balcony of his,
palace, after the huge parade, as-
serted:
"The forces you have seen this
morning with all their weapons, and
especially their spirit, are ready to
defend Italy's interest in Europe, Af-
rica or anywhere," he shouted.
"In only one month we have set-
tled two accounts. (Apparently he1
referred to victories at Aduwa and
Makale in northern Ethiopia.) The
remainder we will settle later."
By this statement Il Duce gave an
implied promise that the War in,
Ethiopia would go on.;

cism's land, air and sea forces. It;

taches of many foreign countries the

While Il Duce talked of war, the;

king spent his birthday quietly at;

had a similar but smaller review in

Weaver Urges
Searching For
Facts Of Issue
Permanent Peace Council
Formed In Furtherance
Of Cause On Campus
By TUURE TENANDER
A plea for sane and intelligent ac-
tion, and a departure from emotion-
alism, was made by Prof. Bennett
Weaver of the English department in
the opening talk of the peace sym-
posium held at 4:15 p.m. yesterday
in the Congregational Church.
Miss Margaret Norton, chairman
of the meeting, announced the in-
auguration of a permanent' t nfve.
sity Peace Council, which intends to
convene at regular intervals through-
out the year in the hope of further-
ing the cause of peace on the campus
Winifred Bell, '36, Prof. I. F. Sharf-
man of the economics department
and Mennon Williams, '36L, followed
Professor Weaver on the program.
Professor Weaver urged students to
search for the facts behind various
war and patriotic movements. He
cited data showing that United States
exports to the allied nations were at a
new high level during the period just
prior to America's entrance into the
World War, while exports to the pow-,
ers of central Europe were practically
nil.
Other indicting facts were brought
out to show that the United States
did not enter the last war to make
"the world safe for democracy but
rather to safeguard our economic in-
terests."
Professor Weaver mentioned sta-
tistics regarding American present
exporting activities. Despite theE
President's embargo, United States
exports in all commodities other than
actual fighting implements to Italy
have increased tremendously in the
last few months. Professor Weaver
again told the students of their re-
sponsibility of looking for the facts
on a rational basis. "Emotionalism
becomes a severe menace to peace,"
he said.
Winifred Bell, '36, mentioned the
apparent paradox that exists in the

minds of most people today - that of
condemning and at the same time
supporting war.

were predicted for today.

According to reports, the weather
today was likely to be below freezing.
Rain was held unlikely today, al-

56.2 degrees above zero, the Observ-
atory reported.
Further west, wire dispatches said,
winter had set in in earnest, snow
and sleet in many places driving the

Understanding Of Islam Needed
To Understand Its Civilization


By ARNOLD DANIELS
Prof. William H. Worrell of the
Oriental Languages and Literatures
department giving the first of a series
of lectures on Islamic civilization yes-
terday in Alumni Memorial Hall,
pointed out the importance of under-
standing the religion os Islam if one
is to understand its complex and
highly developed civilization.
"Islam," said Professor Worrell,"
is to the Islamic countries as Chris-
tianity is to the countries where its
influence has reached. It is a social
pattern of life.
"Originating in a desert land,
where frequent and drastic tempera-
ture changes are common, the re-
ligion of Islam reflects the harsh,
tense atmosphere of the country." he

must govern countries which are
without any connection to the religion
itself."
Professor Worrell pointed out that
although Islam, Christianity and Ju-
daism have much in common, Islam
has no temples or priests, emphasiz-
ing the importance of the direct con-
nection between God and the indi-
vidual.
"It is of interest to note," he said,
"that in Mohammedanism, Jesus and
Moses are both major prophets, sec-
ond in importance to Mohammed, the
founder of the religion."
Two of the outstanding differences
between Christianity and Islam, Pro-
fessor Worrell stated, are that wine
is prohibited in both secular and re-
ligious life in Islam. while it nlavs

Seriousness, Friendliness And
jollity Personifies Cossacks

f

By MARY JANE CLARK
The necessity of having an inter-
preter present while interviewing
Serge Jaroff, the dynamic leader of
the Don Cossacks, made a reality of
the legends built around this unique
organization.
Friendliness and jollity, combined
with the serious air of having experi-
enced bitterness intermingled with
the joy of life, personified all the men
-in none more than their spirited
leader who pleasantly and patiently
listened to questions until translated
for him.

not say this because it is you, for I
would say it to anyone, but best in
America is Ann Arbor." The shouts
and whistling of the students do not
in any way displease the artists but
only spur them on,' he said.
The singers are traveling and sing-
ing too much to have many outside
interests, but Mr. Jaroff said that his
men liked swimming and dancing
more than anything else when they
had time for them. He laughingly
added that sleep was a favorite sport
but one in which they didn't have
enough time to indulge!
Of all their songs the men like to
