WHIPPLE, JR. Bill Bredesen Skates Michigan Defense Net Single Score Past To MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 17. - (P) - Minnesota made it a clean sweep over Michigan in their two-game hockey series by a narrow margin of 1-0 at their Minneapolis arena to- night. A crowd of 2,200 fans saw the contest. After the Gophers had trounced Michigan 7-1 in the first game of the series, the Wolverines came back to wage a stubborn battle in the second contest, despite the fact that they carried only three spares. The Mich-' igan athletes threatened repeatedly in the final moments of the game. Minnesota got its winning tally midway in the second period. Bill Bredesen, playing defense, took the puck in mid-ice and soloed through the Michigan defense to score. Al-' though Minnesota bombarded Goalie Irwin Shialek repeatedly in the sec- ond period, they were unable to score; again. The game opened rather slowly until Glenn Seidel, playing defense, skated down the side of the ice for a long shot. The goal judge raised1 his hand to signal it a score, but the officials ruled differently and a new goal judge was called for. Later in the period when Seidel tripped Vic Heyliger, Michigan cen- ter, the latter was given a penalty shot, but Bud Wilkinson blocked it. The second period found Minne-I sota playing its best hockey. Ed. Ar- nold passed to Ray Bjorck in front of the Wolverine goal to threaten inI the opening moments. On another1 occasion the crowd thought the Gophers had scored but Referee FranktGoheen had rung his bell an instant before the shot.I Goalie Shalek was the hero of thei game at this point as the Gophers peppered him with shots from all1 angles. Michigan gradually grewI strong in the third period and the1 final moments found the Gophers trying desperately to break up the Michigan attack. With only two minutes to go, Hey- liger and John Fabello, right wing,1 combined to break up Minnesota's defense on several occasions Heyliger got through with a pass from Fabel- to with only a minute to go, but mis- sed the corner of the net. Retzlaff Falls Before'Bomber' In First Round Louis Consumes Only One Minute, 25 Seconds In DisposingOf Foe CHICAGO, Jan. 17. - Charley Retzlaff, raw-boned North Dakota rancher, finished lying on his back, his glassy eyes staring at the ring light, exactly one minute and twenty- five seconds after he raised his hands for his scheduled 15-round fight with the jolting Joe Louis in the Chicago stadium tonight. Thus, Louis, most merciless punch- er since the days of Jack Dempsey, scored his 23rd knockout in 27 fights to the accompaniment of the screams and cheers from 14,100 spec- tators. The knockout was complete. Retz- laff, paralyzed by the furious bar- rage of punches, tried to get up at the count of nine, but sank to his haunches and rolled over, to be counted out. lerhad to be helped to his corner, where handlers worked over him a few minutes. Retzlaff walked fearlessly into Louis' as the bell rang and threw the first punch, a light left to the head that missed. Louis stuck a light left to the face and then the lanky North Dakotan landed the first hard punch, cracking Louis with a right to the head as he came tearing in. The blow just missed the chin and The Townsend Plan is a rather ridiculous, extreme, and somewhat heroic attempt to secure for theE masses of the American people aE golden prosperity. It appeals principally because of its simplicity." " The Plan would not work.1 These are the beliefs of Prof. Z. C. Dickinson of the economics depart-1 ment, as expressed in an interview yesterday. "The magnitude of the obvious dis- turbance and shock which would bef caused by the operation of the pro- posed Townsend two per cent tax onr all transactions, whether of a retail or wholesale or mere transfer nature, would prove too much a burden on the economic structure of the coun- try," Professor Dickinson stated. "Objectionable Methods" "It seems to me that the Townsend-t ites have presented an objectionable method of raising the funds neces-~. sary to carry their program," he de- clared. "The successive transaction1 taxes would simply be passed onr to the ultimate consumer, who can! least afford to pay them; in this way they would prove to be regressive taxes - levies that hit poorer men. "There would be poor people under1 the Townsend Plan, just as thereE are today," Professor Dickinson add- ed. The possibility that old people, who would be beneficiaries to the extent of $200 a month under the Townsend Plan, might actually support their younger relatives was pointed out by Professor Dickinson. "This constitutes a two-fold objec- tion to the plan," he said, "for it is mandatory under the plan that the young people work in order that their elders be supported." Enforcement Difficult The administration and "enforce-a ment" of the plan would become as great difficulty Professor DickinsonL stated. The conviction that workers under" 60 years of age would be "soaked" was exressed by professor Dickin- son. "They would have more taxest to pay and would be forced to deal with a higher cost of living as thes result of therinflationary nature ofr the Townsend Plan," he said. Professor Dickinson predicted thatt the inception of the plan would de- press rather than stimulate the marcht toward recovery. The total effect ofI the plan, he declared, would be detri-c mental to business, would causeI continual price fluctuations and in-t come changes, and would promotef bullish markets, speculation, and con- sequent market relapses.- "Buying and hiring uncertaintyt would come with the Townsend Plan,"c Professor Dickinson emphasized. "And that uncertainty means de- pression."I Guzzles Sleeping Potion And CurlsE Up For Two DaysE It's a long, long time from Tues- day night to Thursday night if you'ret awake all that time, but not if you're asleep. Ask Charles Morgan, '36. HeI slept.E The long and short of Morgan's 48- hour somnolence seems to be about as follows: Sometime Tuesday evening he de- cided that two or three sleeping po- tions would help him to a restful slumber. Somewhat later Tuesday evening he staggered into his fra- ternity house, put on an excellent imitation of what his fraternity bro- thersconsidered an imitation of com- plete drunkenness, and doubled up on the floor in the soundest of sleeps. During momentary awakenings Morgan made feeble efforts to un- dress, attempts which ended with the obliging' brothers bodily removing him from within clothes closets and under beds. Finally transferred to a bed and pajamas, he revived, with a burning desire to gargle. Into a bathroom he went and gargled. Then all was silence. Investigators found him slumped in the bathtub, again in the peaceful arms of Morpheus. Wednesday noon Morgan had roused himself to an attempt at eat- ing. When he fell asleep in the middle of the meal, alarmed bystand- ers took him to the Health Service where his most pressing necessity, a bed, was furnished him. Dozing through the rest of the day, night, o-r mnc o rrr.r-av uM(11' , wa The Townsend Plan means life, hope, and salvation for the Ameri- can masses - the alternative is chaos. The common American is starving, freezing, while across the road is the table of plenty - the Townsend Plan. The operation of the Townsend Plan would bring an economy of abundance to all, would obliterate un- employment, virtually eradicate crime, and make America truly the first nation of the world. These statements were made, last night by Charles Lockwood, Detroit attorney, who addressed more than1 250 members of the newly-formed Ann Arbor East Side Townsend Clubj in a Nickel's Arcade auditorium. Most of the townsendites presentc last night were old people. They were tremendously enthusiastic. They aret all wrapped up in their plan.

It voted yesterday to present a1 petition for such an appropriation tor the next meeting of the augmented state administrative board which meets at the call of Gov. Fitzgerald. The board announced, at the same time, that it will use $12,000 of avail- able Bankhead-Jones money to raise the salaries of its 63 extension em- ployes. Such money, a federal grant, can only be used for extension work purposes. It cannot be diverted to the salaries of the resident teaching faculty and research staff. The board accepted the resigna- tions of J. C. Van Camp, superin- tendent of the forest nursery at the college, and H. J. Gallagher, research assistant in agricultural engineering, both of whom are leaving to accepta better paid positions. The resigna- ions brought to 15 the number that has left the faculty since Sept. 1 be- cause better salaries could be earnedI elsewhere. Clark L. Brody, member of thet board, termed the situation an "em- ergency" demanding swift action. Buildings and equipment are neces- sary, Brody said, "but the brains that make use of them are even moret necessary. We must act swiftly toZ prevent further losses of our valued employees." Brody explained that the college,d with 1,245 more students now thant it had in 1931-32, is operating on a c budget that is $367,990 less than it was at that time. He said depres- sion-year pay cuts to the faculty were not restored.( Franklin & Marshall Bows To Wolverines LANCASTER, Penn., Jan. 17. - ) - Michigan defeated Franklin and Marshall, 18-16 last night in an in- tersectional wrestling meet which was not decided until big Tiny Wright threw Bud Roeder, Franklin and Marshall heavyweight, in 9:05 of their bout, the last of the evening. Wright used a body thresh to dis- pose of his opponent. Summaries: 118 lbs., Speicher (M) threw Hook- ing (F&M) 8:40. 126 lbs., Fisher (F&M) defeated Marks (M) 4:01 time advantage. 135 lbs., Thomas (M) threw Eurich (F&M) 5:35, 145 lbs., Horner (F&M) defeated T-Tovenmich (M) 2:40 time advantae Kipling Dies 5 Days After An Operation Writer Passes Away In Hushed British Hospital After Long Coma Nurses Unaware Of Nearness Of Death Poet's Wife At Bedside; Body May Be Buried In Westminster Abbey LONDON, Jan. 18. - (Saturday)- (P) - Rudyard Kipling, famed Brit- ish writer of tales and poems of India, died suddenly at 12:00 a.m. today in Middlesex Hospital, less than ive days after he had undergone an operation for a perforate stomach ulcer. Although he had not spoken and had shown almost no visible signs of life for several hours, even his nurses were not aware his end was so near. Snow fell outside and the entire hospital was still when the dramatic announcement of Kipling's death was made. An excited messenger first entered a waiting room and in a voice stilled with emotion cried, "Mr. Kip- ling is dead." While it had been admitted the writer's condition was "extremely critical" during the evening, periodic bulletins issued up to shortly before his death said his condition was un- changed. Just before the end, however, Dr. A. E. Webb-Johnson, realizing it was unlikely that Kipling had sufficient strength to rally, warned Mrs. Kip- ling, who was at the bedside with their daughter, to prepare for the worst. Only at the end, which came peace- fully, did he seem to recognize his wife and daughter. The two women, worn out with grief after their long vigil and almost in a state of col- lapse, were put to bed by the hospital staff soon after the noted author died. It was not known whether Kip- ling's body will be buried in West- minster Abbey, the last resting place of so many of Britain's famedI sons. Schools Cause Mental Quirkes, Says MeClusky Many Maladjustments Are Traceable To Teachers, He Says In Address (Special to The Daily) YPSILANTI, Jan. 17. - Teachers and the school system were charged with frequently causing mental mal- adjustments in individuals by Prof. Howard McClusky of the School of Education in an address here today to more than 400 instructors of the handicapped at the Special Educa- tion Conference. He was backed by Clark Highee, Grand Rapids probate judge, who agreed that "many childish malad- justments are traceable to school teachers who ar themselves incap- able of settling their own emotional problems in a satisfactory manner." "I predict that in the near future we are going to cast aside useless em- broidery and resort to just two kinds of teacher-training," Professor Mc- Clusky asserted. "With one we will stress apprentice and practice teach- ing, and with the other we will place major emphasis on the child. Prof. Lowell J. Carr of the sociology department told the conference that it was the school's duty to discover the potential delinquent qualities in a child before he reaches the juvenile courts. He especially directed the teachers' attention to day-dreamer students, who thus seek escape from the realities of life. Vivlory Is Claimed By Fascist Forces (By The Associated Preis) The Fascist command in Africa to- day claimed the slaughter of 4,000 Ethiopians in a great battle on the southern front, but official Ethiopian sources ridiculed the claims. Marshal Pietro Badoglio, the Ital- ian commander-in-chief in Ethiopia, announced the southern engagement had ended in "complete victory" and that the troops of Ras Desta Demtu were fleeing along caravan routes to Hoffman Hits Impeachment Proceedings Governor Of New Jersey Strikes At Critics; Attacks Prosecution Doubts Bruno Was Ever In Nursery Wilentz Cables Condon That He Is Not Wanted For More Questioning TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 17. - (P) - Gov. Harold G. Hoffman defended his reprieve of Bruno Hauptmann to- day with a statement defying im- peachment proceedings, attacking the prosecution and expressing his own doubts that the condemned man was ever in the Lindbergh nursery. Only a few hours before Haupt- mann would have died in the electric chair but for the thirty-day reprieve, the governor struck back sharply at critics of his mysterious activities in the case. "I am worried," he said, "about the eagerness of some of our law en- forcement agencies to bring about the death of this one man so that the books may be closed in the thought that another great crime mystery has been successfully solved." One of the governor's critics was Attorney-General David T. Wilentz, chief Hauptmann prosecutor. In a cablegram to Dr. John F. (Jaf- sie) Condon, ransom intermediary, in Panama, Wilentz said that Condon was not wanted here for further ques- tioning. Conden Offers To Return This cablegram answered one from Condon containing an offer to re- turn voluntarily in view of the gov- ernor's recent expression of a desire to have him examined further. "I regret the course taken by the governor," Wilentz told Condon, "only because it may be construed as a re- flection upon "the state, the state's witnesses and police authorities. "The governor has assigned no rea- son for granting the reprieve." No further evidence has been called to my attention by the governor or the defense counsel." But the governor's statement as- serted that evidence he had which be disclosed "in due course" caused him to "question the truthfulness and mental competency of some of the chief witnesses for the state." "I do doubt," the governor added, "that this crime could have been com- mitted by one man." Wife Visits Hauptnann As the sharp exchange occurred, Hauptmann received a visit from his wife, Anna,, and his spiritual adviser, the Rev. John Matthiesen. Mrs. Hauptmann was smiling hap- pily when she came out. In mid- afternoon she left for New York. The reprieve, extending Haupt- mann's span of life 60 to 90 days by reason of the requirement for the setting of a new death date, was signed by Gov. Hoffman and delivered to Col. Mark O. Kimberling, principal keeper of the prison, at 3 p.m., five hours before the time originally set for the execution. Reports circulated that a taxpayers' legal move would be taken to force the prison warden to carry out the execution. High legal authorities doubted, however, that action of this kind could be successful in New Jer- sey courts. Possibility of a suit arose because of the attorney general's opinion that the State Constitution limits the power of reprieve to a period of 90 days after conviction. However, Wil- entz has said that he would not con- test the governor's action. Ellsworth Rescued From Icy Antactic LONDON, Jan. 17. - (A') - Lin- coln Ellsworth and his co-pilot were safe aboard a rescue ship tonight, dramatically snatched from death in the icy Antarctic one week before starvation threatened their lives, Phoney Accents Irk The Stanford Male STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 17. - O-'} - If you're to believe Stan- ford men, co-eds aren't made of sugar and spice and everything nice. They're made of messy lipstick, giggles, off-key tunes, phony south- ern accents and too many yard gowns. Anyway, that seemed to be the con- sensus of opinion as revealed by a survey made by the Stanford Daily. Pet "gripes" about the gals in- -lude : They daub lipstick in the middle of their lips and leave the corners unpainted. They invariably yell: "Oh, I can't ride in the rumble seat: I'll get my hair all mussed." They sing off-key while dancing. They! giggle when they're not supposed to, but blank when told a good joke. They're always fishing for compli- ments. They gush. They never have a definite answer. They superimpose a southern accent on a New England twang and sound like hillbillies. They smear lipstick on palm beach suits. 'And (this may account for the other "gripes") they delight in run- ning around with other fellows. N ye Attacked By Glass For Wilson Charge Senator Shouts 'Coward' At Investigator ; Others Join In Denunciation WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. - (A) - With knuckles bleeding from vehe- ment desk pounding, Senator Carter lass, (Dem., Va.), today heaped a scalding attack upon Senator Gerald P. Nye, (Rep., N.D.), for calling Woodrow Wilson a "falsifier."c Not in the recollection of the Sen- ate's veterans has such a searing in- dictment echoed through the Cham- ber as that of the outraged Virginian, shouting "demagog," "coward," "men- dacious," "malicious," at the hot- faced Senator from North Dakota. And there were others to join in the attack -upon Nye - Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson of Ar- kansas, James F. Byrnes of South Carolina and Tom Connally of Texas - Democrats all. Investigation Not Anythng New, Professors Finding Assert Coed Lip-Smears, Review Evidence4 Earlier Nye had spent an hour re-4 viewing the evidence on which, as chairman of the Munitions Commit- tee, he based the charge that Wilson had "falsified" 'intestifyingthat he did not learn that the Allies had secret treaties for dividing the terri- torial spoils of war until after the conflict had ended. "If it were permissible in the Sen- ate," said Glass, his voice hoarse and low, "to say that any man who would asperse the integrity and veracity of Woodrow Wilson is a coward, if it were permissible to say that his charge is not only malicious but posi- tively mendacious, that I would be glad to say here and elsewhere to any man, whether he be a United States Senator or not. "Such a charge is not only destitute of decency, but such a shocking ex- hibition as never has happened in the Senate in the 35 years I have served in the Congress of the United States." Pounds Desk So vehement did the Virginian be- come that time after time he smashed his fist upon his desk until, finally,, the hard flesh of his knuckles split and a trickle of blood coursed down and dropped from his wrist. Even as Glass was speaking, the state department released war time documents showing that Ambassador Walter Hines Page, at London, had reported to the department in 1915 that some of the Allies had a secret bargain to give Italy a big chunkof Austria-Hungary in return for her entry into the war. At the same time, Secretary Cordell Hull told newsmen: "I served in an official capacity dur- ing Mr. Wilson's administration and I have the highest regard for his pa- triotism and scrupulous honesty." Fasified' Charge Hit By ..Reeves Political Scientist Contends Nye Is Tryng To 'Make A Scoundrel' Of Wilson Slosson Agrees That Term Is Too Harsh By FRED WARNER NEAL The charge that Senator Gerald P. Nye is trying to "make a scoun- Irel" of President Woodrow Wilson was made last night by Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, chairman of the political cience department. Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department also said he hought Senator Nye's treatment of he World War President was "too harsh." "I don't like the spectacle of Sen- ator Nye trying to make a soundrel out of a President of the United States," Professor Reeves declared, referring to Senator Nye's statement hat President Wilson "falsified" when he told the Senate foreign re- lations committee in 1919 that he had no knowledge of'secret treaties among the Allies for dividing spoils of the World War. Defend Wilson The professors came to the defense of the wartime president in inter- views yesterday. However, Professor Reeves agreed with Professor Slosson that Presi- dent Wilson must have known some- thing about the secret treaties be- cause they were widely published here after their disclosure at the time of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in the fall of 1917. But nevertheless, the chairman of the political science department, an authority on United States foreign- relations, held that "I don't think Senator Nye isarman whosis goig o write a history of this nation to the satisfaction of the American people." Both Professors Reeves and Slos- son, agreed that Senator Nye's in- vestigation is bringing to light noth- ing materially new. "It is all pretty old stuff," Professor Slosson said, "although it is well worth ventilating again." Data Not New "The things that are being pulled out at the investigation are all to be found in books and in the letters of Walter Hines Page and Colonel House," Professor Reeves asserted. I see nothing new that is being dis- covered." Mr. Page was the American am- bassador to England at the time of the war, and Col. E. M. House was President Wilson's confidential ad- visor. The controversy, which reached its height in Washington last night, is regarding Senator Nye's epithet of "falsifier," hurled at President Wil- son when, he said in the course of his munitions investigations: "It is evident that Wilson was fully ap- praised of the . secret treaties and that he falsified in asserting he had no knowledge of them until after the war." Addressing the Senate foreign re- lations committee in 1919, President Wilson declared he had "no knowl- edge" of the treaties until they were called to his attention at the Ver- sailles Peace Conference. According (Continued on Page 2) Bonus Passage Seen As Debate Time Is Limited WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. -(RP) - The Senate today virtually assured passage of the bond payment Bonus Bill tomorrow by agreeing to limit debate to two hours tomorrow. Ac- tion was delayed today by an argu- ment touching upon America's entry into the World War, "Onlythe lateness of the hour pre- vented a vote today on one of the hurdles to speedy passage-an amendment by Senator Elmer Thom- as, Oklahoma Democrat, that would authorize the President to pay the bonus by issuing new currency, if he desired. Leaders predicted its de- feat tomorrow. Both were well, although Ellsworth was suffering from a slight cold, The rescue ship Discovery II, sent out jointly by the British and Can- adian Governments, found Ellsworth and Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, the ex- plore's English-Canadian co-pilot, in Little America. Fraternity Council Will Submit Rules Thursday Must Pay Farmers I With Tariff Funds WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. -(P) - The nation's agricultural leaders were disclosed today to be studying the pos- sibility of impounding all tariff re- ceipts to supply funds for continued benefit payment to farmers. At the same time, in intimation that
