No. 3 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1935 PRICE FIVE CENTS Italy Sees Blockade ByBritain Scores England's Stand I Mediterranean; Wants To Know Purpose Naval Concentration Termed A'Sanction' Italian Consular Agents In Ethiopia Enroute To Addis Ababa GENEVA, Oct. 1. - (P)--Italy, per- turbed by the fact that the British fleet remains in the Mediterranean, asked today: "What does Britain in- tend to do?" The naval concentration was con- strued by informed Italian quarters as a military sanction. Therefore, Italy asked, why is Britain "considering a blockade" when the League has not yet :voted sanctions, even economic or financial?" The Rome press today resumed its bitterness against London. One Rome newspaper called the British fleet concentration "the most in- credible aggression." Because of increased tension on the African front, the Italian minister to Ethiopia today ordered Italian con- slates in the provinces of Aduwa and Harar evacuated. Other consular agents in the interior are en route either to Addis Ababa or points out- side the country. . A Reuters London dispatch from Addis Ababa said 16 Italian subma- rines were stationed in the Red Sea and in event of war would try to intercept munitions and other sun- plies expected to be shipped to Ethi- opia from Japan or America. : Italian quarters in Rome called Ethiopia's impending mobilization a 'menacing threat' of war and said there had. been no Italian advance across Ethiopia's border.

(Detroit time). His talk, in Italian, will be fol- lowed by an English translation. It is expected to deal with the current African situation. serted that the danger of a sudden outbreak of war would come from Ethiopia, not Italy Officials said Italian scouts in East Africa had detected the presence of strong Ethiopian troops in areas near Italy's filontiers, supposedly evac- uated. Because of the lack of communi- cation facilities, it was believed un- likely that news of the first fighting would be known definitely for several days -especially if the first hostil- ities are at the northern front, which is nearly 500 miles from Addis Ababa. Paris Dickering Continues Meanwhile, two principals in the European situation - Great Britain and France -dickered in Paris. Ne- gotiations for a mutual assistance pact, officials disclosed, found both nations dodging specific pledges. France is unwilling to go further with Britain in the event of a war with Italy than she expects Britain to go with her should Germany attack France. Unexpectedly, the Paris government called air maneuvers near the Ger- man border. Premier Laval conferred with Vit- torio Cerruti, Italian ambassador to Paris, but the nature of their con- versation was not disclosed. Authoritative Landon sources said tonight that the United States, and Germany as well, will be approached for their viewpoints on cooperation should the League of Nations Council find collective sanctions necessary against Italy. A German source here disclosed that Germany will leave the League officially Oct. 21, the date its resig- nation two years ago becomes ef- fective. Members of the League of Nations Council, meanwhile, concentrated their thoughts on halting war be- tween Italy and Ethiopia as soon as possible after its inception -war now being considered inevitable. The opening of hostilities would mean a quick session of the Council to consider the situation and deter- mine who is guilty of having started the war. The principal concern of the League, however, would be to prevent L L } r I Papers Found By Dr. Stanton Throw Light On China's Past By FRED WARNER NEAL Discovery of hundreds of docu- ments which will necessitate a com- plete re-interpretation of Russo- Chinese relations from 1644 to 1860 was announced yesterday by Dr. John W. Stanton of the history depart- ment, who returned this summer from a year's research in the Orient. Dr. Stanton, who as a research fel- low for the American Council of Learned Societies, spent last year digging into the archives of the Privy Council and Grand Secretariat of the old Imperial Chinese government. His work took him to the inner sanc- tums of the Forbidden City, the im- perial palace in Peiping, and dealt with materials never before revealed to Westerners. Two trunk-loads of historical ma- terials were unearthed by Dr. Stan- ton, disclosing an intimate coopera- tion between Russia and China be- tween the years 1644 and 1860. To his surprise, Dr. Stanton found that the Chinese, long regarded as a peo- ple who shut themselves off from progress and for centuries knew little or nothing of the outside world, were well acquainted . with the practices and aims of Europeans and Amer- icans. As a result of his findings, which will "clear up many points hitherto obscured and misunderstood," Dr. Stanton will write a book, "Expan- sion of Russia in the Far East, 1644 to 1860." Before leaving last fall for China, he had a manuscript already prepared, but will now have to revise as well as expand it, he said. The relations of Russia and China during the seventeenth and eight- eenth centuries were "cordial, al- though the Chinese feared the Rus- sians," Dr. Stanton declared. Dr. Stanton, who speaks both Chin- ese and Japanese, gained a deeper in- sight into Oriental affairs than most foreigners. He was particularly im- pressed, he said, by the gradual dis- placement of Chinese government of- ficials hostile to Japan with those who favor Nipponese policy. The Chinese of the North are favorable toward the Japanese, he said, while the people of the South bitterly hate them. "China," he observed, "is not a na- (Oontinued on Page 2)I F.D.R. Pleads That Liberals Get Together Asks That They Find A Common Ground, Make SomeC Concessions LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1. -(P) -In an address heard by 70,000 persons in the Coliseum here today, President Roosevelt made a plea for the liberals of the country, "to find a common ground and a common road." Mr. Roosevelt paid tribute to Will Rogers and praised what he termed the "liberal spirit of California." "Just so long as the least among us remain hungry or uncared for or unable to find useful work, just so long must it be the task of all Gov- ernment, local, State and Federal to seek reasonable but progressive means to assist the unfortunate, the Presiden said. "The faith of a lib- eral is profound belief not only in the capacities of individual men and women, but in the effectiveness of people helping one another. Cali- fornia has many splendid examples of the unselfishness of human coop- eration. "As you know, I have not come here today to speak to you formally or even to speak to you about the problems of your National Govern- ment. I can tell you truthfully, how- ever, that in crossing the Continent, I have been heartened, more than anything else, by the look on people's faces. "In these past years I have sought (Coninued on Page 2) Reich Intends Leaving League In Near Future To Remain Neutral In Any Italo-Ethiopian War Or Controversy GENEVA, Oct. 1. -- (0)-A respon- sible German source disclosed today that Germany would leave the League of Nations officially Oct. 21, determined to remain neutral in any Italo-Ethiopian war. This authority asserted that the Third Reich would allow the date when its resignation notice becomes effective to pass in silence. He said Germany believed the League was in a stage of such great evolution at present that there was no reason for the Reich to think of canceling its two-year notice. Germany resigned from the League in 1933, when it decided to leave the disarmament conference. The Third Reich has also decided, it was learned to resign from the In- ternational Federation of League of Nations Unions --an organization which includes League associations in the United States and Great Britain. League experts plunged anew to- day into their task of drafting a his- torical summary of the Italo-Ethio- pian crisis, to lead to the League's last-word warning against war in East Africa. Fire Marshal Will Register Local Houses New State Law To Apply To Dwellings Housing Ten Or MorePeople Registration of all fraternities and sororities housing more than 10 stu- dents will be started today by George F. Bullen, deputy fire marshal, who has been assigned to Washtenaw County to make the registrations as required under the new state hotel law. The law, prompted by the Kerns Hotel fire in Lansing last winter which claimed more than 70 lives, stipulates that "the owner or owners, occupants, lessee, or agent thereof of any building or structure used for sleeping accommodations and com- ing within the provisions of this act shall apply to the state fire marshal for registration, which application shall be accompanied by a fee of $1. The act also requires an annual fee of $1.50 for structures with sleep- ing quarters for from 10 to 15 pay- ing guests, a fee of $3 for 25 to 50 persons and $5 for structures housing more than 50 persons. The feepro- vides for inspection twice a year by the state fire marshal's office. Mr. Bullen will make an inspection' of all fraternities and sororities as well as collecting the proper fee. If the houses do not pay the fee stip- ulated by him they are subject to, prosecution and also the law pro-, vides that any possible fire hazards the marshal discovers in his inspec- tion must be corrected within 30 days. All Passengers On 'Rotterdam' LandedSaf ely Part Of Crew Likewise4 Carried To Kingston On Rescue Ship KINGSTON, Jamaica, Oct. 1. - (")' -NThe 450 passengers andcabout 250 of. the crew of the marooned liner Rotterdam came ashore today to the peace and hospitality of Jamaica. They landed from the rescue ship Ariguani shortly before 7 a.m., in happy frames of mind,apparently unperturbed by the interruption of their pleasure cruise on a coral reef at Morant Cays, 60 miles southeast of Kingston, early yesterday. Most of the passengers were asleep when the vessel went aground and they remained aboard ship until 4:30 p.m. yesterday when their transfer to the Ariguani began. The Holland-America liner was said by the passengers to be high on a rock and battered by heavy seas. Memel Votes Will Be Counted Today MEMEL, Oct. 1. - (P) - The su- preme election commission, an- nounced today that the counting of ballots in Sunday's Landtag (terri- torial assembly) election will begin Restoration Of FreshmanPots Is Attempted Mass Meeting Will Be Held Friday To Decide On Old Tradition Sophomore Meeting Votes For Revival Wearing Of Pots To Be Determined By Class Spirit Of Freshmen A movement to restore freshman pots and other traditions to the cam- pus was initiated today by the Men's Council at a meeting of a represen- tative group of sophomores, presided over by William Dixon, '36, and John McCarthy, '36, president and secre- tary respectively of the Council. A mass meeting of freshmen will be held at 4 p.m. Friday in the ball- room of the Michigan Union to deter- mine freshman opinion on the ques- tion of observance of traditions, Dixon said. He and other officials of the Council plan to approach several or- ganized groups of freshmen before that time in an endeavor to swing their support to the movement. ' At the sophomores' meeting, called by the Council, the concensus of opin- ion held that the return of freshman pots would be beneficial to the cam- pus provided the freshmen would pledge sufficient support to assure success. Not Compulsory According to Dixon, there is no thought of forcing freshmen to wear pots. It will be entirely a matter of class spirit on the part of the fresh- men, and a respect for University tra- dition. He suggested that the former arrangement might in time be re- stored whereby the freshmen would discard their pots if victorious over the sophomores in the Fall Games, or if defeated, wear them until Cap Night, held during spring in Sleepy Hollow, where they are burned on a huge bonfire built by the yearlings. Many campus organizations have already pledged their support to the Men's Council, which is sponsoring the movement. They include the In- terfraternity Council, the Union, va- rious honor societies, and several freshman groups. The Daily has agreed to cooperate. Dixon an- nounced that he intends to approach the freshman assembly of the engi- neering college at 11 a.m. today, and the meeting of the Rendezvous camp- ers at 8 p.m., to enlist their support. Ask Fraternity Aidf At a meeting of the Interfraternity Council Paul Philips, '36, secretary, who presided in the absence of George Williams, '36, president, announcedE that members of the council staff would call every social fraternity on campus to inform them of the move-1 ment and get their backing. In the past Cap Night was one of the culminating events of the schoolt year. Prominent speakers were chos- en from among the favorite members of the University faculty and staff, and varsity "M" blankets and sweat- ers were awarded in the light of the burning pyre. The stacks often reached a height of 40 feet or more, under the direction of the Cap Night committee chair- man, one of the most coveted fresh-1 man offices. Sophomores traditionally endeavored to fire the stacks before' the oppointed time, and the defense of the highly inflammable ma-_ terial, soaked in kerosene and packed with oily waste, was no mean task. The second-year men attempted such ingenious means as blazing ar- rows to light the bonfire, while the freshmen, if not prevented by Univer- sity officials, were prone to "borrow" the emergency fire hoses from cam- pus buildings and string them into Sleepy Hollow, just east of the Uni- versity Hospital, from the nearest hydrants. Freshmen Rushees Urged To Register, Freshmen who are contemplating1 pledging a fraternity and who have not yet registered are urged to do so1 immediately by Interfraternity Coun- cil officials. The registration bureau' has been moved from the lobby to Room 306 in the Union. It was pointed out that each Fresh- man must submit with his preference list a receipt which he receives upon registration. Thus, it is necessary; that one register before the "silence All Detroit Pinning Hopes On Schoolboy h -Associated Press Photo. Schoolboy Rowe, the El Dorado, Ark., hurling ace of the Detroit Tigers, has becn selected by Manager Mickey Cochrane to face the Chicago Cubs in the first game of tUe 1935 World Series to be played at Navin Field in Detroit this afternoon. Rowe, a sensational rookie in 1934, will have as his opponent lean Lonnie Warneke who is one of the best moundsmen in the National League. --- Schoolboy To Face L4 Warneke In O pener As on Thousands Fill Detroit 500 Homeless, 40 Killed, Is Hurricane Toll NASSAU, Bahamas, Oct. 1. - (P) - The Saturday hurricane toll in the outer islands of the Bahama group, where 40 are reported to have died, was tonight fixed by Acting Gov- ernor H. E. Garrit at 500 homeless with $50,000 damage. A relief ship, carrying ample sup- plies of fresh water, food, and medi- cal stores, was expected to reach the isolated, storm-swept settlement of Cornishtown on Acaco tonight. The acting governor returned here at nightfall, reporting the plane in which he left the capital this morn- ing as able to descend at only one settlement because of rough water. He said several towns had been wiped out by the devastating hurri- cane, which earlier wrecked 150 houses but caused no loss of life. Four persons were reported to have died at Cornishtown, and 10 in Grand Bahama, northernmost key of the extensive Bahama Group. - French Airmen Maneuver Near German Border PARIS, Oct. 1.- )-- The French air forces today were given unexpect- ed orders to begin maneuvers- today in the Lorraine and Champagne sec- tors and a new regiment of infantry was formed to strengthen the troops on the German frontier at Stras- bourg. These military moves were au- thorized shortly after an official dis- closure that France was bargaining for British assistance in the event of a German air attack in exchange for French aid if Italy attacks the Brit- ish fleet formed in the Mediterranean in connection with the Italo-Ethi- opian crisis.

Victor Leon Ernest Denain, Gram Declares 565 Enrolled For NYA Jobs More Expected To Be On Payroll By November; 1,400 Employed In '34 More than 565 students have al- ready been slated for National Youth Administration jobs, and by the end of October, from 1,200 to 1,300 are expected to be on the payroll, Pro- fessor Lewis M. Gram, chairman of the committee on University NYA, declared yesterday. This is far and above the number of students placed a year ago, ac- cording to Professor Gram. By the end of last year, 1,400 students were employed with Federal aid, and of- ficials expect by next spring there will be many more than that. The University's NYA payroll will average approximately $18,000 per month, Harold M. Anderson, cost ac- countant of the buildings and Grounds Department, said. Approxi- mately 15,000 of this will go for un- dergraduates, according to present plans, and $3,000 to graduate stu- dents. The graduate student fund is a new feature, Professor Gram explained, and will go to persons working on their Ph.D. and Master degrees. Un- der terms of the grant, 75 per cent of the number of Ph.D.'s last year -90 - will be given an average of $30 per month, he said. The candidates for masters' degrees will be allowed an average of $10 per month from this fund, plus any amount they may re- ceive on the undergraduate payroll. Only 150 of the 565 students yes- terday slated for jobs have been so far definitely placed, according to Mr. Anderson, who, with Miss Eliza- beth Smith, handles the placement.

The opener of the an- nual classic will start at 1:30 p.m. Both clubs had a final workout Tuesday and both Mickey Cochrane and Charley Grimm expressed con- fidence that their respective clubs would win the series. Grimm, how- ever, expressed doubt that his team of fast-stepping ball players would take the championship in four straight games. The Cub boss rates the Tigers too highly to figure the title is already in the bag. According to Grimm the Cubs will triumph in five or six games. Cochrane Hopeful Mickey Cochrane, his team in a serious slump throughout Septem- .er, believes that the Bengals will snap out of it when they face the Bruins this afternoon and is confident of giving Detroit its first world's cham- pionship. Mickey bases his conclusions on the fact that his charges have eome up to every situation they faced all sea- son and thinks they will be at their peak in the clash of the title. Thie Tigers played great ball in August, great, enough to assure themselves a second successive pennant, and Coch- rane as well as all Tiger fans think the Cubs will meet a club playing that type of ball today. The Bengals displayed great form in batting drills at Navin Field Mon- day and Tuesday with the new bleachers in left being on the re- ceiving end of many -line drives. Hank Greenberg, who tied with Jim- my Foxx for the home run champion- ship of the year, was conspicuous in the drills and convinced watchers that he has shaken off the slump that brought his batting average down a number of points in the last weeks of the season. Rowe Vs. Warneke Schoolboy Rowe and Lon Warneke, a pair of Arkansas pitchers who have made good in the majors, will be the opposing moundsmen and both prom- ise to set the opposition down with a minimum number of base hits. Char- ley Root and Tommy Bridges are ex- pected to hurl the second game with Elden Auker and Larry French prob- ably clashing when the teams switch scenery Friday and entertain the fans at Wrigley Field in Chicago. According to betting commission- ers the Tigers are 7 to 10 to win the series and 10 to 13 to take the opener today. The Cubs are even money to take the series and 11 to 10 to win this afternoon. Cub backers point to the great winning steak of 21 games, the second longest in major league history, that carried the team from third place at the first of Septem- ber to the pennant and state that the Cubs are too "hot" to be stopped by any club in a short series. However, Tiger fans have ceased to worry about the slump that the club was in through September and are expect- ing the team to display its mid- season form.
