No. 44 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1935 PRICE FIVE CENTS Diplomats Protected B Italians Troops And Police Guard Envoys As Sanctions Become Operative Council To Review Attempts For Peace His Life In Danger Franco-Italian Stifled As Held Up At Commerce Goods Are Border PHILANDER S. LOOMIS I ROME, Nov. 8. - (P) - Troops and police throughout the nation today guarded diplomats of countries which last midnight put into force economic sanctions against Italy. Helmeted soldiers were massed on narrow streets, isolating the quarter where the British embassy and con- sulate are located. Demonstrations were feared. Authorities pressed a campaign in many forms for Premier Mussolini's "implacable resistance" to sanctions. Women assembled in various towns to discuss how economies should be effected in every home. The British embassy, which with its garden occupies a square block, had an imposing guard. Artillery- men rolled out three ancient light guns from around a nearby military monument, giving an impression they were ready for battle. The Fascist Grand Council was called into session again tonight to discuss further Italy's program of resistance to sanctions. The status of peace negotiations, involving conferences between Mus- solini and the British and French am- bassadors, also was to be reviewed by the council, authoritative sources said. Italians were reported to be al- ready turning back French goods, in- cluding newspapers, at the border. Huge stocks of merchandise, destined for Italy, piled up on the French side of the frontier. BATTLE IMMINENT MAKALE, Ethiopia, Nov. 18. -(')- Two columns of fast-moving troops were dispatched under emergency orders today to the eastern Tembien region, where, it was reported, the Italians had come in contact with the army of Ras Seyoum, commander of Ethiopia's northern forces. A battle was believed imminent. Seyoum's army, estimated at 30,- 000, has been hunted by Italian scouts for weeks. He has kept under cover by day, in the wild mountains, but by night has harassed the Italian flanks, apparently attempting to draw a battle at a strategic point. Scouts said Seyoum was located to- day in a strong mountain position commanding the surrounding terri- tory. His warriors are well-armed, they said, and apparently prepared for action. \ Zoning Change Voted Down By Local Council State Buildings Will Not Be Allowed In Class A Residential Districts The Common Council in its meet- ing last night at the City Hall unani- mously rejected the proposed amend- ment to the city zoning ordinance which would allow state buildings, ex- cept penal and corrective institutions, in class A residential districts. The ordinance committee recommended such action following a public hear- ing last week. Anticipating this action, Dr. C. F. Ramsey, superintendent of the Mich- igan Children's Institute, announced yesterday that the situation would be referred to the State Welfare Com- mission, which would probably seek a release from the sales agreement en- tered into with the bondholders of the Hoover property on Washtenaw Ave- nue. "Since the rejection of the amend- ment will force the state to consider properties outside of the class A sec- tions, renting of a suitable property will be undertaken," he stated. Consideration of a plan whereby Schedule For Junior Voting Is Announced Independent Party Puts Slate In Field; Forth Is Named For President The junior class elections schedule, as announced last night by William R. Dixon, '36, president of the Men's Council, follows: Literary college: Elects four officers and five J-Hop committeemen, from 3 to 5 p.m. tomorrow in Room 25 Angell Hall. Engineering college: Elects four of- ficers, the J-Hop chairman, and two Hop committeemen, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Room 348 West Engineering Build- ing. Business administration school: Elects four officers and one Hop com- mitteeman, from 2 to 3 p.m. in Room 113 Tappan Hall. Architecture college: Junior and senior elections will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Architecture Building. The juniors will select one Hop com- mitteeman. The education school seniors will vote from 4 to 5 p.m. Thursday in Room 2436 University High School. All nominations must be registered at the Union desk 24 hours before the elections, Dixon said. An Independent Party has entered the junior literary college elections. The slate, which was formed several days ago, was announced last night and includes Paul Forth for presi- dent; Ruth Clark for secretary; and Richard Clark for treasurer. The vice-presidential candidate has not yet been selected. The State Street literary college group will meet some time today in the League to choose its slate. 71 Smiths Listed In Directory; Johnsons Run Second With 61 The age-old preponderance of; Smith in any group of names is again illustrated by the new Student Direc- tory. Inspection discloses that 71i students registered in the Universityi are thus surnamed. i However, the distinction of being the second most frequently printedi surname in the Directory falls -not to Brown or Jones as might be ex- pected-but to Johnson, which ap- pears 61 times. There are seven Johnston's to swell the group's total; close to that for the Smiths.; Joneses, in fact, seem to be rather scarce, only 23 being registered to make the name tenth in order of numerical importance. Those surnames found to be most' plentiful in the Directory include Miller, with 49, Brown with 38 (count- ing four Brownes), Clark with 38 (counting eight Clarkes), Wilson with 28 (but no Woodrow), Moore with 26, Williams with 25, and Anderson with 25. Pi Tau Pi Sigma Takes Eight Men Into Society The initiation of eight men was announced yesterday by Pi Tau Pi Sigma, honorary Signal Corps pro- fessional fraternity. The new members are H. C. Sharp, '37E, R. F. Yee, '36E, H. W. Gilfillan, '37E, O. W. Stephenson, Jr., '37E, J. L. Steffenhagen, '36E, P. T. Hall, '37E, R. F. Bowker, '36E, and W. M. Cline, '37. NOTICE The business staff of The Daily Condition Of Loomis Seen As 'Critical' Student Injured In Crash Which Kills Nurse And Injures Four Others Edna Johnson, 21, Is Instantly Killed Maxine Chamberlain And Lawrence Walz Also In Serious Condition Philander S. Loomis, '37, a mem- ber of the Gargoyle business staff, was in an "extremely critical" condi- tion last night as the result of an auto accident early Sunday which killed an Ann Arbor nurse and ser- iously injured four other persons. The nurse, Miss Edna Johnson, 21 years old, was graduated from St. Joseph's Hospital nursing school Fri- day. She was killed instantly when the car in which she was riding, driv- en by Lawrence Walz, 25 years old, of 803 Dewey Ave., crashed head-on into a car driven by W. Burl Schmidt, 25 years old, of 1916 Longfellow Ave., Detroit, on the Plymouth road two miles west of Plymouth. Schmidt is now in the University Hospital with two broken jaws. With Walz, who is now in a serious condition in St. Joseph's Hospital, with a possible fractured skull, were Miss Maxine Chamberlain, 22 years old, a St. Joseph's graduate nurse, also seriously injured; and Albert Magincalda, 25 years old, of 537 Church St., who was badly bruised and cut. Miss Chamberlain broke her collarbone and is recuperating in St. Joseph's Hospital, while Magin- calda was released after treatment. Loomis, a pledge of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, was going to his home at 12305 Roselawn Ave., Detroit, to visit his parents over the week end. Doctors last night termed his con- dition "extremely critical." He' is reported to have suffered a skull frac- ture and lacerated brain. The front- al lobe of his forehead was crushed, doctors said, and his frontal sinaises were removed in an emergency op- eration, necessary to save his life. 100 Etchings On Exhibit In Hall Galleries An exhibit of more than 100 etch- ings, woodcuts and lithographs by prominent German artists are on dis- play today in the North and South, Galleries of the Alumni Memorial Hall.

Japan Plans Puppet State Under Army Autonomous Area In North China Will Cut Off Its Relations With Nanking 'Cordial Relations' Will Be Promoted Military Intervention Is Seen If China Opposes Nipponese Advance TOKIO, Nov. 18.- (IP)-Japanese dispatches said tonight an independ- ent nation of North China would be created this week under the protec- tion of the Japanese army. This large new nation, the report asserted, would sever all economic and financial relations with the Chin- ese national government at Nanking and seek to promote cordial rela- tions among North China, Japan and Manchukuo. A spokesman for the foreign office admitted the possibility of Japanese military intervention should the Nan- king government send troops to sup- press the North China autonomy movement. (In Washington the proposed Jap- anese move was seen as a develop- ment of Japanese policy against which the Roosevelt administration made representations to Tokio more than a year ago. The State Depart- ment, however, withheld comment.) Five provinces with a population of approximately 95,000,000 people ap- parently would become a "second Manchukuo." They are Hopeh, Shan- tung, Shansi, Chahar Suiyuan. The dispatches said the new state would be named "Huaph Lienshenk Tzuchih Chengchuan," or "The North China United Provinces Autonomous Regime." A declaration of indpendence, the dispatches continued, will outline these four principles and aims: 1. The complete autonomy of North China. 2. The severance of financial and economic ties with the Nanking gov- ernment. 3. The cooperation of the Japan- ese army in the prevention of the spread of communism. 4. The promotion of cordial re- lations among the North China, Jap- an and Manchukuo.S Leaders of the new state, it was said, will be General Sung Cheh- Yuan, commander of the Peiping- Tientsin garrison, and Gov. Han Fu- Chu of Shantung Province. Contemporary Will Go On Sale Today The first fall issue fo Contempor- ary, campus literary quarterly, goes on sale this afternoon. Essays by Prof. Norman E.

On Iinderg9raduale Council Despite Sickness, Byrd Lectures In Cause Of Scientific Research, Plans 3-Year Period Of Investigation On Facts Revealed By Expedition By RALPH W. HURD Admiral Byrd is still convalescent and still suffering from the effects of the monoxide poisoning he contracted during his six-month solitary vigil 123 miles south of Little America. But the capacity audience that heard him lecture last night at Hill Auditorium did not know that. They heard a pleasant-voiced, affable man speak modestly about exploits and adventures at the southern-most con- tinent in the world that seemed all the more dramatic and breath-taking to the audience by the understate- ments of the speaker. Nor did the horde of autograph- seekers, who besieged the stage door, and each of whom received a smiling' greeting - and his signature --know that Admiral Byrd is still a sick man and still under strict doctor's orders. Asked why he has undertaken such1 an extensive lecture tour, in an inter- view with The Daily following the talk, an interview which continued. out of the auditorium and during the drive back to the home of Prof. W. H. Hobbs, Admiral Byrd replied quietly: "You see, we have more than three years of research ahead of us on the ten volumes of factual material we brought back with us from the expe- dition." "It takes money to conduct those investigations." "It took a lot of money to finance the expedition, too," he continued. "A lot of -people wonder why we took so many men with us. They don't real- ize that for every research man and scientist we have to take along sev- eral men to do the work of mainten- Soviet Advance To Communism Seen By Stalin 'More Cultured Life' For All Under New Order Is Promised At Congress MOSCOW, Nov. 18. - R) - Joseph Stalin, Soviet leader, today an- nounced the coming transition of So-1 viet society from Socialism to Com- munism. In a speech delivered at the closing session of the first National Stak- hanovite Congress in the Kremlin, he promised "welfare and more cul- tured" life for everyone under the new order. The congress was attended by 3,- 000 of the country's outstanding workingmen and women. Stalin's words launched the Stak- hanovite campaing - under which production is being stepped up through an increase in the individual output of the workers -describing it as one of the most important move- ments in Soviet history. He termed it "a preparatory step" for the transition to Communism. Communists point out that Niko- lai Lenin, hero of the Soviets, de- scribed state Socialism, the system of government and society prevailing in the Soviet Union, as one of the lower but necessary rungs on the ladder leading to Communism. Pure Com- munism will lead to "the withering and dying away of the state," Lenin said, Nazi Luther Riled By Newspapermen ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 18. - (R) -- Dr. Hans Luther, German ambassador to the United States, declared today that "America is not entitled to inter- fere with German affairs." He made the assertion after he had) hnn"hnmar~rt xri~h m ,znncb, ance. You can't have the scientists washing dishes, you know. "No," he said, "we are not planning another expedition right now. Wait until we get this research work done, then we'll see about that." "The most important results of the expedition? I think that out of the 22 sciences we investigated, we achieved the most important findings in geography: our explorations of large areas of land, our discovery of new mountain ranges and the fact that Antarctica is a single continent -I would say that these are the most important." When asked as to the possibility for man to isolate himself permanent- ly from his fellow-beings as Byrd did for six months, he replied, "Although I have never particularly cared about meeting lots of people, six months of isolation was just about all I could stand. I think one of the most in- teresting conclusions I reached dur-' ing my stay at the advance base was, the way one can become aware of things by asence." Fraternity Men Will Hear Talk On Scholarship Ruthven To Be Speaker At Banquet Nov. 25;; Trigon To Get Cup' Presidents, rushing chairmen, and pledges of all fraternities belonging to the Interfraternity Council will convene at a banquet at 6 p.m. Mon-' day, Nov. 25, in the Union, it was an- nounced last night by George R. Wil- liams, '36, president of the council. President Ruthven will address the1 banquet, the purpose of which is to' stress scholarship to the fraternity1 pledge, Williams said. The Interfraternity Council schol- arship cup will be presented to Trigon fraternity ,all of whose members will be guests at the banquet. The scholarship cup was donated to the council last year for presenta- tion to the general fraternity with the highest grade average by Zeta Beta Tau which, because it was thrice- winner, was allowed to keep the pre- vious cup. The cup was presented to Phi Epsilon Pi last year. The banquet will be in charge of John A. Cawley, '36, as general chair- man. Thomas E. Groehn, '36, and John Heles, '36, will assist him. Frank' J. Simes, '37, will oversee the sale of tickets. Admiral Byrd Tells Of Vigil In Bitter Cold Antarctic Explorer Says 22 Branches Of Science Benefitted From Trip Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd, American polar pioneer, took 4,500 people with him on a vicarious voyage to the icy wastes of the South Pole last night in his speech in Hill audi- torium. Before one of the largest audiences in the history of the Oratorical Asso- ciation, Admiral Byrd, by means of moving pictures and an explanatory lecture, re-enacted the highlights of his recent expedition to Little Amer- ica and several previously unexplored regions of the Antarctic continent. The expedition, Byrd's second to Antarctica, though making some im- portant geographical discoveries, was primarily for scientific investigations, and, according to Admiral Byrd, "served 22 branches of science." The most spectacular feature of the expedition was the five-month soli- tary vigil kept through the long Polar _" "I f ,_ _r Amia 7v e i c n a Dean Lloyd Points Out That Issue Was Not Forced Upon Council Saturday Classes Cause Of Change Late Hours For Four Class Dances Not Altered By New Rulings In a surprise move which exactly reverses an earlier ex-officio vote, the Undergraduate Council of the League yesterday unanimously went on rec- ord as favoring a drastic change in Friday night hours for women stu- dents from 1:30 to 12:30 a.m. The Council's action, in the face of what seems to be a strong campus opinion to the contrary, came in the form of a recommendation to the Board of Representatives phrased as follows: "It is recommended that Friday closing hours for undergraduate women be changed from 1:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., with the hours for other days remaining the same as pre- viously." The Board of Representatives, in- cluding representatives of all sorori- ties and also of the Assembly, inde- pendent women's organization, is scheduled to meet at 4:15 p.m. Thurs- day to act on the recommendation. Women Oppose Change Favorable action will result in the change becoming immediately effec- tive. In the event that the Board rejects the proposal, it will again re- vert to the Council which must repass it unanimously to make the resolution effective. That undergraduate women are strongly opposed to any change in present hours was revealed by a Daily poll of sorority and independent women who indicated almost unani- mous sentiment against any such res- olution. The Council's unexpected resolu- tion climaxes nearly two months of deliberation over numerous sugges- tions for adjusting women's hours to the newly-instituted Saturday class schedule. The issue has been under discussion since the opening of school, Jean Seeley, '36, League president, ex- ,plained. In making the announcement, she added that, "This issue was not forced upon us in any way. It was merely the outcome of several weeks of for- mation. Miss Lloyd (Dean of Women Alice C. Lloyd) did not volunteer an opinion. When we asked her, she said she favored the 12:30 a.m. hour." Miss Lloyd told The Daily last night that, "So far as I understand the Council's move, I am fully in ac- cord with it. I feel that it is a wise idea, in view of Saturday classes." from 1:30 to 12:30 a.m. Dean Lloyd's Statement This statement is in accord with a recommendation which Miss Lloyd made in speaking to sorority women at the Panhellenic Banquet Oct. 28 at the League. At that time she stated, "I think your nearly unani- mous vote to continue the 1:30 a.m. hour for Friday, in spite of the new University ruling on Saturday classes, is a mistake." Three principles "which should be kept in mind in discussing the ques- tion" were set forth by Miss Seeley in announcing the subject for dis- cussion before the Council yesterday. They were: (1) As a Council representative of every campus woman, we feel a definite responsibility in making housing rules and regulations. (2) Since campus opinion is "lib- eral, usually taking the easiest way out," there is no place at the Univer- sity for the Council if it is to follow sentiment in every case, although we do take campus opinion into consid- eration. (3) Coming into contact, as the Council does, with all problems which occur in campus affairs, this body is forced to take a much broader view, and to see both sides of the question, more than the individual woman. Emphasizing a definite need for earlier hours, Miss Seeley told mem- bers of the group that, "I feel the Council should act independently of campus opinion." -__ Earlier Women's Hours Fridays Asked By Navy Flight Formation Picture. Features November Technic' A striking two-column picture of eighteen U. S. Navy airplanes in full flight formation, "forming an in- verted corporal's chevron on the sleeve of the sky," is featured in the November issue of the Michigan Technic which will be on sale today and tomorrow in the first-floor cor- ridors of the West and East Engineer- ing buildings at its regular- price of 15 cents.

Describing Bertrand Russell as il- lustrative of an "intrepid spirit and wide range of interest" which should characterize all engineering students, Professor Thornton declared that the major obstacles'"which must be over- come to achieve such an end are cus- tom, inertia and downright lack of ability, and the formation of utterly- wrong habits. "While not referring to the revolu- tionary political doctrines of Russell," Professor Thornton stated, "I do refer specifically to the fact that a large number of scientists, or quasi-scien-
