XLVI No. 78 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENTS Rhineland Rearming Is Feared See Franco-British Pact As Cause Of Possible German Retaliation British Diplomatic Trick IsSuspected Italy May Avoid League Council Session Jan. 20; Sweden Files Protest (By The Associated Press) The shadow of Adolf Hitler - a shadow that makes Frenchmen jit- tery - was projected Tuesday into the Italo-Ethiopian scene. French newspapers expressed fear that recent German attacks on the Franco-British mutual aid agreement foreshadowed German fortification of the demilitarized Rhineland. The reports reached London and immediately afterward a defense sub- committee of the cabinet met. Diplomatic circles in Paris, how- ever, eyed the reports with some skepticism. The opinion was put for- ward that the German "fear" may have been raised as a part of the gov- ernment campaign to have parlia- ment ratify the Franco-British mu- tual assistance pact. While Sweden formally protested to Italy against the bombing of a Swedish ambulance unit, the Ethi- opian governnent asserted young children were killed or wounded when bombs wrecked a church during a Fascist air raid on the town of Sa- kota. Ten others were blinded by gas bombs, the communique added. Italy officially denied rumors of peace moves by asserting "nothing positive .can be done now at Gen- eva." She is uncertain whether she will be represented at ameeting of the League council Jan. 20. Geneva sources expressed belief a proposed oil embargo may be dropped because present sanctions are so effective. The French fleet prepared to sail Wednesday for maneuvers in the Mediterranean and the remnant of Britain's home fleet departed for a cruise near Gibraltar. Japan's Wish For Equality Dooms Parley London Conference May Continue But Hope Of Success Is Slight LONDON, Jan. 14.-(P)-Inter- national naval limitation, initiated in Washington in 1922 and the only successful form of disarmament grow- ing from the World War, neared the end of its trail tonight. A five-power conference, called to renew limitations because the Wash- ington and London treaties expire at the end of this year, has been shipwrecked over Japan's insistence upon a fleet equal to Great Britain's and the United States'. The conference's breakdown, a Japanese spokesman said tonight, is due "not to the adamant opposition of the Japanese but to the adamant opposition of other delegations to the Japanese proposition. "We would be quite willing to leave observers behind (when Japan with- draws from the conference) depend- ing upon the nature of the invitation given them. "It is our earnest desire not to make international feeling any worse. We do not think our withdrawal will mean a building race, unless the at- mosphere of naval competition is created by others. We do not intend to start one." Senior lass Dues Payment To Begin Senior class dues may be paid to- day to members of the financial com- mittee who will be at a desk in the lobby of Angell Hall. It has been annunced by Robert R. Sullivan, College Woman After Husband, Not Learning, FiguresProve' 80 Per Cent Marry Three or other where they will be competing with men, but the fact is that 80 per Years After Graduation,) cent of all the ambitious co-eds turn Forget About Careers out to be housewives. Very often, the Stewart Howe report says, women By ELSIE A. PEIRCE in the arts and music continue to dabble in their musical instruction Women students who are always denying emphatically the accusation that their primary motive in coming to college is to land some eligible young bachelor are either hypocrites, or else they just don't know the real facts. The truth of the matter, according to statistics compiled by the Stewart Howe Alumni Service, is that 80 per cent of college women marry within three years after graduation, and that what's more 82 out of every hundred college women who are graduates of a co-educational university marry men from their own university. Few Wait More Than 6 Years Thus when a fortune teller with a pack of cards predicts that a co-ed will be married within three years after graduation, she will be correct four-fifths of the time, and, even better, if she says the co-ed will surely be married after a six-year deadline, she's not going by the cards; she's basing her predictions on cold fact. The statistics show that only 2 per cent of women graduates are left in the ranks of the single women, after they have been out of college six years. Thus, assuming that the aver- age age for women at graduation is 21 years, only two per cent of the women can be classified as old maids, when they are 27. After two more years have passed, however, there is such an infinitesi- mal number of them left unmarried, that the total is not even one per cent. Housewives In The End While they are in college, the women seem to labor under the de- lusion that they are preparing them- selves for 0 career, but if they are here for that purpose, they should be studying home-making, and do- mestic science. They all seem to be ambitious to get ahead in some field $1,000 Awards Will Be Given To Librarians Carnegie Foundation Help Also Makes Scholarships Available To Students E The department of library sciencel of the University will offer for the year 1936-1937 two fellowships of $1,000 each, as a result of a grant of the Carnegie Corporation of Newt York, it was announced yesterday by William W. Bishop, Universitylibrar- ian. The fellowships will be available to "exceptionally qualified students who are eligible for candidacy for the de- gree of Master of Arts in Library Science." Applications must be filed with the librarian before May 1, 1936. Four scholarships will also be of-t fered to first-year full-time students in library science of the value of $500 each. Candidates for these scholarships must meet all the re- quirements for admission to the de- partment and should also submit references, it was announced. The selections for both fellowships and scholarships will be made by the faculty of the department of library science who will make nominations to the University authorities. As a further result of the grant by the Carnegie Foundation, similar fel- lowships and scholarships are ex- pected to be offered for the year 1937- 1938. Also special lectures and other activities willgbencarried on by a por- tion of the grant. Ruthven' s LegI Much Better, Doctor States The condition of President Alex- ander G. Ruthven, who fractured his leg Dec. 31 when he fell on the icy steps in the rear of his residence, was described as being "very satisfac- tory" by officials at the University Hospital last night. Dr. A. C. Kerlikowski, chief resi- dent physician of the hospital, who is attending Dr. Ruthven, stated that the president was "getting along very well, no operation is contemplated." How long President Ruthven will or in their writing or painting, but the cases are rare where a college woman continues to employ the knowledge she has attained in college for any goal but amusement or men- tal stimulation. Rave An Affinity The survey goes on to show that masculine and feminine Greek letter societies have an affinity for each other, for it was found that in the majority of cases, sorority women marry fraternity men. Since statisticians have figured out averages for every other group, it was logical that the Stewart Howe Service should compile figures on the average college-trained women. They found that 10 years after graduation she is married and in most cases to a fraternity man from her own col- lege, who has a better-than-average occupation, and she has two children., Although they compiled no definite statistics on whether marriages be-i tween college men and women are more permanent than those between people who did not have a higher education, they did find that there were very few divorces recorded in their records. Four-Day Run Of 'Ruddigore BeginsToday Seeley And Sisson Share Honors In Gilbert And Sullivan Operetta The Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, "Ruddigore," the combined offering of Play Production, the School ofI Music, and the department of phys- ical education, will open a four-day run at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, Jean Seeley, '36, will play the partc of the leading lady, Rose Maybud, in tonight's performance, and on alter-c nate nights, Clarawanda Sisson, '36SM, will have this role. Maurice, Gerow, '36, and Warren Foster will alternate in the role of Richardt Dauntless, with Gerow playing the part in the opening performance.a ' Frederick Shaffmaster, 36, will have the leading role of Robin Oakapplej the baronet of the house of Murga- troyd, which has been cursed by thes witches, so that every baronet must commit one evil deed a day in order to live. He and Richard Dauntless are rivals for the hand of Rose May- bud. Character parts will be taken by Jane Rogers as Dame Hannah, and Henry Austin, '36, as Despard Murga- troyd, who is the baronet at the opening of the operetta, though he is laterfound to be an usurper. Mar- guerite Creighton, '37, plays the role of Mad Margaret, Adam is played by Ralph Bell, '36, and the part of Sir Roderick Murgatroyd is taken by Curtis Flowers, '37. In addition, there will be a chorus of 40 voices to play the roles of the corps of professional bridesmaids the old baronets reincarnated, and the witches. Prof. David Mattern will conduct a student orchestra of 30 members, and Valentine B. Windt, director of Play Production, is in charge of the production. The dance choruses have been trained by Miss Ruth Bloomer of the department of physical educa- tion. The sets were designed by Oren Parker, Grad., and the costumes were designed by James V. Doll, and ex- ecuted by Mrs. Anna Doll. Tickets for the production are priced at 75 and 50 cents for the eve- ning performances, and 75, 50, and 35 cents for the matinee, which will be held at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Scandal:May Bring Student Expulsions MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 14. - (IP) - A campus scandal at Southwestern College was investigated today by a faculty and student committee. Dean A. Theodore Johnson said, "We are going to take action as soon Construction Of Cyclotron egins Soon Aton-Sinashing Machine Capable Of Producing Synthetic Radium Product Useful In Cancer Treatment Physics Department Plans To Begin Work Feb. 1; Cost Will Be_$25,000 Construction on the University's $25,000 cyclotron, atom-smashing machine, which produces synthetic radium, will begin on or about Feb. 1, Prof. Harrison M. Randall, chair- man of the physics department, an- nounced yesterday. This machine, the money for the construction of which is an anony- mous gift, will be capable of produc- ing synthetic radium, which is ex- pected to contain all the curative properties of the original radium sub- stance, Professor Randall said. The material produced by the cy- clotron, according to physicists, will be produced at a comparatively low cost and can be easily employed in the treatment of cancer and other forms of medical cure without the danger to which the patient is ex- posed in natural radium treatments. Superior To Radium In one respect the new product is expected to prove superior to the real radium. Whereas the latter has a ceaseless radio activity, thus render- ing it extremely dangerous for medi- cal practice, the synthetic creation is characterized by its ability to re- tain its radio activity from periods of a few hours to several days, Pro- fessor Randall pointed out. The process by which the manu- facture of the new radium will take place after the cyclotron is construct- ed, is one of high voltage electrifica- tion of "dutrons," a form of heavy water revolving in a vacuum. Invention Of Italian Professor Randall said that work on the new machine will start as soon as Prof. James M. Cork of the physics department returns from California. Professor Cork has been working with Prof. Ernest M. Lawrence, University of California physicist, to whom the credit for the invention of the cyclo- tron has been given. The discovery of the possibility of atom bombardment was made about two years ago by Prof. Enrico Fermi of Rome, who was a visiting profes- sor at the University during the last summer session, Irene Curie, daugh- ter of the illustrious discoverers of radium, Madam Marie Curie, and her husband, M. Joliet. Rep. Main Avoids Townsend Mention WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.--(6P) - Representative Main (Rep., Mich.), recently elected on a platform fa- voring the Townsend Old Age Pen- sion Plan made no direct mention of that proposal in his maiden speech today to the House. He did say: "Now that we are face to face with the fact that no great forward step in social legislation can be taken without a constitutional amendment, we are all derelicts if we do not proceed at once to prepare the way for the sovereign people to say whether they want those changes written into the fundamental law." Hauptmann's Reprieve Is SeenLikely U. S. Circuit Court Denies Writ Of Habeas Corpus, Stay Of Execution Reprieve Will Be CG ranted -Wilentz Report Defense Lawyers Expecting Governor To Act At Any Moment TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 14.- (P) - Counsel for Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, turned back in an eleventh hour appeal to the Federal Court, was reported on reliable authority tonight "expecting an executive re- prieve within 24 hours," while one member of the staff announced "they had no assurances" of such action. As the possibility of a reprieve Frederick A. Pope of defense counsel said, "I couldn't find the governor tonight," and C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense attorney, said Gov. Harold G. Hoffman had given "no assurances to them" he would delay the execu- tion set for Friday night But coupled with the report from a source close to the defense attorneys that they anticipated an early re- prieve, was the statement earlier of Atty.-Gen. David T. Wilentz that he had been "reliably informed" that the governor would act in behalf of the man condemned to die for the Lind- bergh baby kidnap-murder. Circuit Court Acts TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 14. - (AP) - A writ of habeas corpus and stay of execution both were denied Bruno Richard Hauptmann by United States Circuit Judge J. Warren Davis to- night. With this action, one of the defense attorneys who would not permit use of his name, declared: "This is the end." Neil Burkinshaw, who pleaded for the habeas corpus writ before Judge Davis, said: "The only possibility in the world is the United States Supreme Court." Hauptmann awaits execution Fri- day night, barring a reprieve from Gov. Harold G. Hoffman or success- ful last minute court move. As to action by himself now, Judge Davis said: "This would seem to me to be sheer inexcusable judicial egotism on my part." Attorneys Commended He commended attorneys on both sides for their zeal, and said that "every remedy known to law has been used to save this prisoner from elec- trocution." "If the prisoner goes to the elec- tric chair, he cannot blame counsel," the Judge proceeded. "What is complained of here took place before the eyes of Justice Tren- chard, one of the most conscientious and fair gentlemen of the State." The writ application was signed by Hauptmann himself. Attorneys went to his death cell shortly before going to the court building to obtain his signatureas required by law. It was one of the final legal steps remaining to halt the execution. As the attorneys acted, however, Attorney General Wilentz said he had been "reliably informed" that Gov. Harold G. Hoffman would grant Hauptmann a reprieve. He told mem- bers of the Legislative Appropriations Committee this, adding that if such action were taken, he would need ad- ditional funds to fight the case for the State. Does The Music Go Down, 'Round? 'No!' Says Slawsk y "The music does not go down and 'round," insisted Mr. Slawsky of the physics department. "I'm only a short man, and I do not long to create any controversy, but ," he continued, "it's all wrong. I disagree with the song writer, a certain psychology pro- fessor, and especially with those per- sons who sing that thing." "No, no music, no sound, nor any- thing like it comes out here, there or anyplace." Then, to completely over- throw the popular theory, he added, "it's only the wave lengths which emerge, that is condensations and rarefications of air." Mr. Slawsky does admit, however, that when you push the first valve down, the air column is shorted and the sound, or the wave lengths to be correct, are made shorter causing a higher tone. He believes it was mere- ly coincidence that the words to the song are somewhat correct, that when you push the last valve down, the music goes down, 'round, below. New Michigan Technic Deals In Aeronautics Pictures Of Army Planes And Article By Wallace Feature Current Issue The Michigan Technic, campus magazine of the engineering college, will start the new year today with its presentation for campus sale of an issue dedicated largely to aero- nautical developments. Eye-arresting pictures of a number of Army airplanes going "up and over" in a full backward somersault, with a long trail of smoke marking the curve of their passage through the air, are included in the maga- zine along with an article by Francis Wallace, '36E, on "Flying by Instru- ments and Radio." Wallace is a full-fledged transport pilot, and is president of the engi- neering council. His article goes through the "whole works" of blind flying, from the training required of pilots to a description of the intricate devices and methods by which such flying is accomplished. Supplementing the pictures of the planes laying down a circular smoke- screen, the magazine also features a full-page picture of four B-12 Mar- tin Bombers in flight formation. The bombers were built by Martin for General Headquarters of the United States Army Air Corps, and represent the latest developments in this type of plane. An article by Prof. A. H. White, head of the department of chemical and metallurgical engineering, en- titled "BSE plus X Equals Job" con- tinues the Technic series of advice by engineering faculty members on the best methods of obtaining jobs. The significance of Professor hWite's title lies in the addition of an un- known quantity - "x" - which must be added to the engineering student's college degree in order to secure em- ployment. Professor White's article is devoted to the solving of "x." Presented in the "Spotlight" de- partment of the Technic are Law- rence David, '36E, Charles Marsch- ner, '36E, and George Atherton, '36E. Debate Squad Try-Outs Will Be Held Today Try-outs for the Varsity men's de- bating squad will be held today for all candidates whether they have been on the squad before or not, ac- cording to A. E. Secord, debating coach. The preliminary try-out will con- sist of a two-minute argumentative speech on any phase of this question: "Resolved: That Congress Should Have the Power by a Two-thirds Vote to Override Decisions of the Su- preme Court Declaring Acts of Con- gress Unconstitutional." This represents a real opportunity for a large number of men to partici- pate in debate, Mr. Secord said, since 28 collegiate debates have been sched- uled for the men during the second semester. Those trying out are asked to come at 4 p.m. today to Room 4203 Angell Hall, prepared to give their talk. See Bonus Vote Soon In Senate 'Baby Bond' Measure Is Given Okay By Senate Finance Committee Morgenthau Warns Of Great Expense Sen. James Couzens Is One Of Two Opposing Compromise Bill WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. - () - The compromise "baby bond' Bonus Bill was swept toward a Senate vote today over testimony by Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr., that its pas- sage might increase to a $11,300,000,- 000 "minimum" the necessary Treas- ury financing in the next 171/2 months. Morgenthau privately told the Sen- ate Finance Committee, just before it approved the proposed substitute for the House Bill by a 15 to 2 vote, that the measure might require a $2,000,000,000 money-raising opera- tion. Won't Be Bound By Secrecy Senator James Couzens, of Mich- igan, quoted him as listing these other amounts which the Treasury might have to raise to meet its obli- gations before June 30, 1937, the end of the next fiscal year: $5,800,000,000 for refunding outstanding obliga- tions; $2,000,000,000 possibly to be needed for relief (and not included in the new budget); and $1,500,000,- 000 which President Roosevelt esti- mated as next year's deficit. Saying he would not be bound by secrecy which Morgenthau and Chairman Pat Harrison, (Dem., Miss.) imposed upon themselves after the executive committee session, Couzens also quoted Morgenthau as saying that the public debt might reach $35,500,000,000 by the end of the next financial year. Gerry Opposes Bi Only Couzens and Senator Peter Gerry, (Dem., R. I.), voted against a favorable report on the bill which Harrison said he hoped to get before the Senate when it reconvenes Thurs- day. Administration leaders predict- ed that it would be enacted into law this month. Couzens was the only one of eight committeemen who will be up for re- election next November to oppose the report. After he had disclosed Mor- genthau's testimony, Administration leaders were quick to explain that the $11,300,000,000 figure Morgenthau mentioned did not involve all "new money" raising, since it included the $5,800,000,000 in refunding opera- tions. Michigan Gets Old Documents Of Ex-Regent More Than 3,500 Papers Of Gen. Spaulding, Civil War Soldier,_Received More than 3,500 documents of the late General Oliver Lyman Spauld- ing, one-time regent of the University, congressman, assistant secretary of the United States Treasury Depart- ment and Civil War soldier, have -ome into the possession of the Bu- reau of University Archives, Prof. Lewis G. VanderVelde of the history department, its secretary, announced yesterday. The documents - letters, diaries, political notes and war communica- tions-throw much light on many heretofore hidden incidents in Mich- igan history, Professor VanderVelde said'. The material is also being used by the University's state history com- mission, of which the archives bureau is a branch. General Spaulding was a regent from 1858 to 1864. From 1867 to 1871 he served Michigan as secretary of state, from 1881 to 1883 he was in the House of Representatives, and during various periods from 1875 to 1897 he was assistant secretary of the treasury in President Cleveland's administration. Although, according to Miss Eliza- beth Sparks, who does the real re- search work for the Bureau of Uni- versity Archives, the Spaulding ma- terial contains little of value regard- Echoes Of Baird Carillon Even Now Reach As Far As London Because Henry representative of Clements Library, the proposed Bair( with surprise thato he discovered that "big bell" he had over his British ra at Loughborough fi of Michigan.
