Cohen Suit
Dismissed

President And Coach, They're All Newsboys

By

Judge

O'Brien Proposes Motion
To Remove Case From
Federal Jurisdiction
Action Will Start
In Supreme Court
Counsel For Student Says
Issuance Of Writ Is In
State's Authority
The petition for a writ of manda-
mus from the Federal Court compel-
ling the University to re-admit Dan-
iel Cohen, former engineering stu-
dent, of Trenton, N. J., was dismissed
yesterday in Detroit by Judge Ernest
A. O'Brien.
At the opening of the session of
the court Patrick A. O'Brien,counsel
forACohen and former attorney gen-
eral, arose and stated that "upon
further investigation of the questions
involved, he was satisfied that the
Federal Court had no jurisdiction to
issue a writ of mandamus in this
case."
O'Brien and Nicholas B. Olds were
retained for Cohen by the American
Civil Liberties Union who believed
that the constitutional and contrac-
tual rights of Cohen had been viol-
ated.
To Start In State Court
It was stated by O'Brien that pro-
ceedings for a mandamus writ would,
however, start immediately in the
state supreme court.
He added in his motion that he did
not believe the original jurisdiction
of the Federal Court to issue the man-
damus writ would apply because the
officers involved were state officers
and charged with the duty of admin-
istering their duties as officers of the
state.
Cohen and three other students,
William Fisch, '37, Joseph D. Feld-
man, '37, and Leon Ovsiew, '37, were
asked not to return by President
Ruthven because they were "inter-
fering with the work of the Uni-
versity with the work of other stu-
dents,"
Suit Pending Two Months
This fall a suit was instituted in
the court by Cohen in order to secure
a writ making it mandatory upon the
Board of Regents to readmit him.
The suit has been pending in the De-
troit court for approximately two
months. Papers were served on the
Board of Regents as a corporate body
and the regents individually.
Although the students who were
asked not to return were members of
the National Student League, Presi-
dent Ruthven stated that the action
was no protest concerning the Na-
tional Student League or its activities,
and that the "action has nothing at
all to do with the political or social
beliefs of the students concerned."
Senior Class Dues
Can Be Paid Now
Senior dues of $1 are payable now
to members of the financial commit-
tee, according to Robert Sullivan, '36,
treasurer of the class. Unless these
dues are paid, seniors will be unable
to have their names included on the
list of graduates, will not receive their
leather-bound commencement invi-
tations and it is expected that they
will not be able to purchase Senior
Ball tickets, Sullivan stated.
Dues may be paid to the following:
Marcus Ginsberg, Russ Runquist,
Howard Kahn, Valerie Rancu, John
Marley, Ruth Sonnanstine, Marjorie
Kress and Sullivan.

Newsboys For Goodfellow Sale

Campus Leaders Receive
Everything From $10
Bills ToStamps
By FRED WARNER NEAL
Nearly-100 campus leaders --in-
cluding President Ruthven and Coach
Kipke - donned Goodfellow aprons1
yesterday and became newsboys in
an effort to give Ann Arbor's needy
a merry Christmas.
Taking their places at strategic
points on the campus, the Goodfel-
lows received more than $1,000 in+
contributions, running from $5 bills
to half-cent stamps. They wereI
snubbed by well-dressed women who
stalked by them with their skirts and
noses high in the air, and were
showered by money from shabbily-
dressed ladies who "know what it
means to be poor." And most im-
portant, they reported to The Daily
the whole-hearted cooperation of
nearly every student on the campus.
Coach Kipke, selling in front of the
Union, "had more fun than a picnic"
and didn't want to quit when his time
was up. In less than an hour he took
in more than $8.50. As the campaign
neared an end, he is shown withI
President Ruthven, who took a post
in front of Angell Hall for a few
minutes, selling papers to two coeds.
William R. Dixon, '36, president of
the Men's Council, had just about the
best system of any when he sold1
Goodfellow Dailys on the Diagonal in
front of the main, library. A group}
of small boys accompanied Dixon.
Whenever a passerby refused to pur-
chase a paper, he would give them the
signal and the snowballs would fly
fast and thick. Dixon reported that
he had little trouble in "convincing"
the customers that they should pat-
ronize him.
An exceedingly well-dressed wom-
en rebuffed a coed "newsboy" telling
her she was "not interested." When
told that the money went to help
destitute families andastudents, she
replied more coldly than ever : "I am
not interested," and she walked on.
Almost on her heels came a small,
elderly lady dressed in a ragged coat,
Republicans Will
Meet In. Clevelandj
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-(R) -
Cleveland, scene of the G.O.P. con-
clave that nominated Calvin Coolidge
in 1924, today was chosen for the
1936 Republican National Convention
and the date was set for June 9.
Producing a certified check for
$150,000 to help pay expenses of the
meeting, Cleveland advocates won
over Chicago and Kansas City on the
first ballot taken by the party's Na-
tional Committee.

looking as she might be one whom
the Goodfellow Fund would aid. The
paper seller thought it would be wise
not to bother her. But much to the
pleasant surprise of all, this little old
lady walked up to the girl "newsboy"
and offered her a dollar. "I know
what it means to be poor," she told
her. "I live over 'there' myself."
A $10 bill was the largest individual
contribution, made to a Goodfellow
newsboy in front of the Library. A
half-cent stamp was paid for a Daily
in front of Angell Hall. Many were
the one and two cent gifts, and the
contributions of $1. Several $5 bills
were turned in. The average price
paid for a paper was a little more
than 15 cents, and the most common
coin received was the five cent piece.
More than $12 was garnered for

Peiping Protest
Against Japan
Ends In Rioting
60 Patriots Reported Hurt
Following Demonstration
Against Aggression
PEIPING, Dec. 17. -(P)- A night
of fierce rioting against "JapaneseI
aggression" in this ancient Chinese
city left 60 student patriots reported
wounded today and drew quick
warnings from the Japanese military.
The Rengo (Japanese) news agency
reported that Gen. Sung Cheh Yuan,
forced to postpone the inaugural
meeting of his semi-autonomous
council for Hopeh and Chahar Prov-
inces, had announced that he would
expel Dr. Hu Shih, noted scholar and
author, and President Chiang Meng
Iin, of the National University of
Peiping, to the South.I
Police charged the rioters with
swords, gun butts and fire hoses and
the Japanese military attache, Lieut.
I Col. Tan Takahashi, told Mayor Chin
Teh Chun that the demonstrations
violated a Sino-Japanese understand-
ing and must be halted.
As the riots raged, Kalgan, great
wall gateway city a little more than
100 miles northwest of Peiping, was
the scene of the newest Japanese mil-
itary seizure.
Japanese troops, armed with bay-
onets and machine guns, were thrown
around the Kalgan railway station
and a virtual state of emergency was
in effect.
Their seizure of the important rail-
way facilities was almost coincident
with the taking over of Tangku, vital
North China seaport east of Tientsin,

Last Survivor
Of Auto Crash
Is Recovering
The condition of John Foss of Mi-
lan, only survivor of six Washtenaw
County men involved in an automo-
bile accident Saturday morning near
Adrian, was reported as "a little bit
better" late last night by attendants
in the Bixby Hospital at Adrian. Foss
suffered a compound leg fracture,

shock, internal injuries and back in-
juries.
Charges of negligent homicide were
filed yesterday against Leo King, 35
years old, of Detroit, driver of a 10-
ton truck which crashed into the
Chevrolet in which four Wash-
tenaw men were riding, after King
told Lenawee County Prosecutor L. B.
Kuney that he must have been asleep
at the wheel of his truck and had no

Thelma Todd
Is Killed By
Poison Gas
Body Of Movie Actress Is
Discovered By Maid 18
Hours After Death
Carbon Monoxide
Found InAutopsy
Star Was Threatened By
Extortion Letters Early
In Year Of 1935
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.-(RP) -
The body of blonde Thelma Todd,
comely film actress, was found in an
automobile today.
County autopsy surgeon A. F. Wag-
ner said tonight the death of Thelma
Todd, blonde actress, was caused by
monoxide poisoning. Dr. Wagner
found her blood was carrying 70 per
cent monoxide at the time she died.
"There might have been contrib-
uting causes," the surgeon stated,
"but that definitely was the major
factor."
He said he would file a formal re-
port later.
Friends discovered the body and
summoned Dr. J. P. Sampson, who
said Miss Todd might have died from'
a heart attack after a steep quarter-i
mile climb to her home following a
party.
No Foul Play Suspected
Police announced there was blood
at the mouth and nose, but no im-
mediate evidence of foul play.
The body was found by a maid, at
least 18 hours after death. The auto-
mobile was in the garage back of her
home near Santa Monica.1
The actress was driven to her beach1
sidewalk cafe, below her home, early
Sunday. The cafe was closed and
Miss Todd, apparently without her
keys, climbed to the garage and1
slumped to rest in one of the cars.
The maid, May Whitehead, said she]
had not been alarmed at Miss Todd's
absence Sunday, but had searchedr
the premises today.
The actress was the object of sev-.
eral extortion notes and threatening
letters this year. Two men, one now
free on bail, face charges in New York
in connection with sending such let-
ters.
Threatened By Gangsters
When a note threatened to "blow'
up" her sidewalk cafe, another sought
to name Abe Lyman, New York or-
chestra leader and friend of the ac-
tress, as an involuntary intermediary
for payment of the $10,000 demanded.
Edward C. Hifferet, 26, was arrest-
ed last month and is held for trial.
The other man, Harry Schimanski,
34, is under indictment by the grand
jury. He was released under $1,000
bail recently.
Miss Todd, who came to films eight
years ago after being selected "Miss
Massachusetts" in a state beauty con-
test, had been a guest at the Stone-
land Cafe (Trocadero) party given
by Ida Lupino, actress.
Miss Todd's divorce from Pasquale
Di Cicco, theatrical agent, "became
final this year. She was 30 years
old.
Teamed first with Zasu Pitts and
later with Patsy Kelly, she appeared
in two-reel comedies alternately with
feature films, one of her late roles
having been with Bing Crosby in
"Two For Tonight."
Politics Caused '33

Panic, Says Hoover
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16. - (R) - Her-
bert Hoover, in an address here to-
night, declared that the situation
which resulted in the closing of the
banks in Detroit and elsewhere
throughout the country in 1933 was
"the most political and most un-
necessary bank panic in all our his-
tory."
He attributed the banking co1lanse


'Best Cooperator' Will Receive
The DailyGoodfellow Trophy
By MARSHALL D. SHULMAN
Students, faculty and townspeople reached down into their pockets
in the Christmas spirit yesterday to contribute more than $1,000 to The
Michigan Daily Goodfellows in their 10-hour drive to provide sustenance
for the needy.
One hundred senior honor students of the University sold more than
6,500 copies of the special Goodfellow edition of The Daily as a week's
campaign was climaxed by a smashing success far exceeding the expecta.
tions of the group.
Although complete returns were not yet available, the fund last night
pased the thousand-dollar mark with the possibility that other sums not
Oyet turned in would continue to

Warden, Hoffman Deny
Hauptmann Confession
TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 16. - (R) -j
Gov. Harold G. Hoffman and the
warden at the state prison today
denied the story printed by the New
York Post that Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann had confessed that he and Isa-1
dor Fisch collected the $50,000 Lind-
bergh baby ransom.
The Post story said that Haupt-
mann denied any part in the kidnap-,
ing itself.
Col. Mark O. Kimberling, head of
the State Prison at Trenton, con-
firmed the governor's denial of the
story.
Gov. Hoffman produced a letter{
received today from Hauptmann, pro-
testing entire innocence and offering1
to submit to a lie detector test.
Hauptmann wrote that he "hoped itj
would inspire" Dr. John F. (Jafsie)
Condon to do likewise.'
Baldwin Group
Prepares For
Peace Debate
Prime Minister Feels Sure
Of Holding Confidence
Of Lower House;
LONDON, Dec. 17.-('P)-Great
Britain's Government, in the face of
bitterness and rancor seldom equalled
in recent years began tonight to
frame its program for Thursday's
House of Commons debate on the
Anglo-French peace plan.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
appeared confident he would be up-
held on a vote of confidence.
His trump card in the debate will
be disclosures he is able to make of
the reasons behind the apparent sud-
den change in Government policy.
This change, as it seemingly was
reflected by the offers of vast Ethio-
pian territorial concessions to Premier
Benito Mussolini of Italy, brought
on the present tempest of criticism.
A special Cabinet meeting was
called for tomorrow morning, and to-
day, in a tempo incongruous with the
customary calm deliberation of Brit-
ish public life, Cabinet ministers
scurried from one secret meeting to
another as diplomats streamed to the
Foreign Office.
Among the latter was Robert W.
Bingham, the United States ambas-
sador, who conferred at length with
Sir Robert Vansittart, the perma-
nent under-secretary of the state for
foreign affairs.
The Foreign Secretary, co-author,
with FrancPr irmier ira val of

swell the total.
The allocation of the sources of the
fund, from the figures available last
night, was as follows: sororities, dor-
mitories and League houses, $200;
fraternities, $300; advance personal
contributions, $100; Daily advertise-
ments, $100; street sale, $300.
The Daily Goodfellow Trophy,
which is to be awarded to the organi-
zation showing the highest coopera-
tive spirit, will be presented before
the Christmas vacation. A decision
will be made by the committee con-
sisting of Dean Joseph A. Bursley,
chairman, Dean Alice C. Lloyd, Jean
Seeley, president of the League, and
Wencel A. Neumann, president of the
Union within the next few days.
Kipke Is Outstanding
A notable feature of the sale of the
edition was the outstanding offensive
of one Harry Kipke, whose gridiron
tactics on the steps of the Union in
the early afternoon proved effectual.
Not many an untagged one escaped
the Coach's keen eye or his strong
and convincing grip.
William R. Reed, president of
Druids, directed the distribution of
the issue. Highest individual Good-
fellow salesman for the day was Betty
Greve, president of Senior Society,
who sold more than $32 worth of
the edition.
List To Be Published
Secretaries of departments and
presidents of fraternities who still
have funds intended for the Good-
fellows are asked to communicate
with the Goodfellow editor of The
Daily as soon as possible. Aprons still
outstanding should be returned as
soon as possible.
A complete list of organization con-
tributions will be printed in tomor-
row's Daily, together with a more
exact estimate of the total.
An announcement of the distribu-
tion of the Goodfellow fund will ap-
pear in an early issue.
Italy Demands
More Territory
FromEthiopia
PARIS, Dec. 16. -(A)- An Italian
demand for further concessions in
Ethiopia than provided in the Franco-
British peace plan, diplomatic circles
reported tonight, was presented to
Premier Laval by the Italian ambas-
sador, Vittorio Cirutti.
Cirutti enumerated four changes
which Premier Mussolini feels must
be made in the Franco-British prop-
osition before there can be any
chance that peace negotiations will
succeed. These were:
1. Aksum (Ethiopia's holy city)
must remain under Italian control.
(Under the peace plan Italy would
be given much of Tigre province but
Aksum itself, with a connecting cor-
ridor, would remain with Emperor
