ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1936 VOL XLVI No. 126_____ ______________ PRICE FIVE CENTS 'Sincerity' Of Nippon Leader Is Challenged Chinese Stu(ents Cancel Dinier In 11nor 0O Kagawa Cast ]Night C.i s fro~t n d' Of WalkOiil, AtUnion 'Misnomer, Manchukuo' Is Cause Of Furore; Ask Ihat It Be Rescinded Chinese antagonism to Toyohiko Kagawa for his use of the word "Man- chukuo" flared into the open yester- day as the Chinese Christian Associa- tion cancelled its dinner for the Jap- anese philosopher and the Chinese Student Club challenged him to "prove his sincerity." Proud rather than apologetic of their walk-out on Kagawa in th Union Wednesday night, the Chinese students issued, in an open letter, what amounts to an ultimatum to the visiting Japanese religious leader. "The Chinese students," declared Tzu K. Huang, Grad., president of the Chinese Students Club, "cannot fail to feel doubtful of your sincerity if you decline to abandon the use of this dishonest, Japan-coined mis- nomer (Manchukuo). We ask you again," Huang said, "to cooperate with us in preventing the confusion which our American friends must ex- perience if its use is continued. Ask For Sincerity "If you are sincere in your message of world peace," Huang held, "we feel you should be willing to abandon this term which is so offensive to us Chin- ese and to all who understand the meaning behind it, and call Man- churia, Manchuria. Let us hope that you are not preaching the kind of world peace which is bought at the price of simply maintaining the status quo for the conquerors. Although Huang pointed out that "we were sorry to have left the meet- ing and we did not mean in any sense to be disrespectful or discourteous to Dr. Kagawa," he contented that "nevertheless, no other course oftac- tion was open to us in light of his repeated misuse of the term "Man- chukuo" Action Of Entire Club V. P. Ting, president of the Chin- ese Christian Association and vice- president of the Chinese Student Club, likewise was polite but firm. In announcing the Christian associa- tion's change of mind on the Kaga- wa dinner, Miss Ting said "We are sorry but his attitude is impossible. The dinner was called off by action of the club as a whole." Huang reiterated the explanation of the Chinese opposition to calling the disputed province Manchukuo. Charging that it is a "misnomer de- signed to mislead the world," he ex- plained that "kuo" means sovereign state and held that "since all the member nations of the League and the United States have refused to honor this word or to give recogni- tion to the so-called state, it seems to us unfair to use it in connection with a piece of Chinese territory." Flood Waters Now Receding On Ohio River (By The Associated Press) Threats of a new flood along th devastated Ohio valley abated Thurs- day night as the swollen river begar to recede in its upper reaches after a second rise within the week. The Ohio overflowed its bank: again at Wheeling, W. V., and neigh- boring towns, but damage was sait to be negligible. As the new crest moved slowl: through eastern Ohio towards Mariet ta, the high water further sout] and further north was falling. Rive men at Cincinnati, 350 miles belov Wheeling, said the recession woul( enable the river to carry away th fresh crest without trouble. The fresh crest reached East Liver pool andSteubenville, Ohio, durin the day, but began falling befor night. In Pittsburgh, 50 miles abov Wheeling, where the Monongahel Aleii Dominate campus, Women Butler Terms Not Well Adjusted, Says Angell War A Product 1 ... _ . ... _. .. .._._ ._._ I Commits Suicide John H. Muyskens Reveals Candidacy rf Results Of' Undergraduate I Survey Form Basis Of Professor's Remarks ; r By ELSE A. IEMCEe Dlscrihing ths ca i"hS as "man_- dominat d," Prof. Robert C. Angell oft the sociology department offered as evidence for his statement yerday the fact that most intelligent women on the campus are not socially well-v adjusted, while mlost intelignt mni are. Professor Angell based his remarks on the results of a survey on problemst of undergraduate adjustment, whicht he made several years ago, and pub-j lished in his book, "A Study of Uri-s dergraduate Adjustment." A possible interpretation of thist situation may lie in the great ad-e vantage in numbers the men havep over the women, he explained, andt because there are three men to every woman, on the campus today, menr do not and cannot date as much asc women proportionately. "Hence, to the men, social adjust- t ment does not turn so largely onv dating. He pointed out that men dor not judge other men by the number of dates they have, and a man who does not go out may be as well ad-r justed socially as one who does. How-c ever, he explained that girls are morer prone to judge other girls by whethers or not they go out with men, and sinceI a girl who does not date is more noticeable, she often gets a feeling of inferiority. "Also, since men perhaps prefer a shallow, superficial type of girl in their leisure hours," he added, "the less intelligent girls may be greater Ssuccesses socially than the more in- telligent." Women are more apt to dress for men than men are for women," he continued. He pointed out that al- though girls will usually not persist in styles which are offensive to men, the situation is reversed in regard to men's clothes. "Men do not care what women think of their clothes, Faculty Adds To Memorial Tower Funds; More than 160 members of the Uni- versity faculty have already contrib- uted to the fund for the building of the Burton Memorial Tower, and more pledges are coming in all the time, it was announced yesterday by Prof. Everett S. Brown of the politi- cal science department, chairman of the faculty group which is aiding the Alumni Association in raising the necessary funds. "Subscriptions are coming in stead- ily, and give promise of continuing to do so for some time," Professor Brown said. "All contributions are being made on a strictly voluntary basis. Faculty members have been invited to subscribe, but no direct personal appeal has been made." He askd that any faculty members who may have intended to subscribe but have laid their cards aside and forgotten them, forward their pledges to the committee headquarters in Alumni Memorial Hall as soon as pos- sible, in order the facilitate the work of the committee. BOY SCOUTS TO HOLD SALE Troops 21 and 22 of the Ann Arbor Boy Scouts will collect today and to- morrow for a rummage sale to be + held Saturday at 208 N. Fourth Ave. Ann Arbor residents having old news- papers or rummage to sell are asked to call 5408 during the day or 2-3502 e after 6 p.m. 1 x ie said, "for if they did, there would be fewer sloppily dressed men." In regard to intelligence Professor Angell found that there was almost no difference between men and wom- en, although the men scored higher on general information tests, and he women were better informed on art and literature. "However, women are far more apt o reach their capacity in their school, work than men," he said. "For a woman, a C grade is very often the highest grade she is capable of mak- ing, while a man who gets a C could do better if he were more conscien- tious. Men are often interested in thinking and discussing such sub- ects as politics and philosophy." he said, "while women get into an aca- demic rut, taking no interest in mat- ters outside their school work. 'Wom- en are more conscientious than men," he continued, "and at least they go1 through the motions of learning." In his opinion this situation is only natural, because of the traditional cultural heritages of men and women. "Women have never been obliged to take an active part in these activities, while men have," he said, "and it is1 not strange that women should not feel obliged to -do so now." He also found that women are much more likely to remain "traditionally oriented" than men. "The women do not think things through for them- selves," he said, "and are not as prone to question accepted facts." Kagawa Exalts Brotherhood In Lectures Here Stresses Need For Return To Christian Ideals In Talks Here Yesterday An awakening of consciousness and a return to the feeling of fraternity and brotherhood was urged by Toyo- hiko Kagawa yesterday in his two Martin Loud lectures in the First Methodist church. In his afternoon lecture, on "The Cooperative Movement and Brother- hood," the Japanese social worker stressed the necessity for a return to the spirit of brotherhood that was manifested in the early Christian Guild movement. Loving kindness, which went hand in hand with the guild system, was said to have been lost during the latter part of the Middle Ages. Kagawa praised the spirit of broth- erhood and cooperation which was manifest in the early order of monks. The work of the Benedictine orders, St. Patrick and the Franciscan order were cited by Kagawa as having ac- complished a great deal through their harmonious methods of education. "More can often be achieved by a spirit of brotherhood and loving kindnesson the part of missionaries," Kagawa said, "than by the actual preaching of gospel and doctrines." He then went on to point out that the early Christian movement in China and Japan suffered a severe relapse centuries ago because of the lack of emphasis upon the spirit of Christian brotherhood. Mysticism was held by Kagawa to be very dangerous to the Christian faith. He stated that mysticism has been a contributing factor in the de- cline of the Christian movement in the Far East. However, Christianity has made great progress in Japan and China after the momentary re- Of Financiers Former Of' ficer Advocates For'ma1tion Of Anti-Wir' Slay U.S.Iutered W alg* O Saye p, C edit Suggests Thlat 'Exploiters Be orced Jo Fly The 1 Skull And Crossbones' A well-informed war-hating elector- ate which will not allow itself to be "sold out" to international financiers by its representatives in Washington was urged last night by Maj.-Gen. Smedley D. Butler, who spoke on "War Is A Racket" in Hill Auditorium under the sponsorship of the Student Alliance. "A constitutional amendment for- bidding a single soldier with a gun over his shoulder to go outside of the United States would keep us out of war," the retired Marine officer said. War is the product of bankers and financiers, General Butler said, who receive the cooperation of govern-1 ment officials. It is they who are paying for the gigantic military pro- grams today, he charged, and "they' are not doing it for love. I've been on nine expeditions to seize valuable' oil and mineral lands for Brown Brothers and the National City Bank," he declared. Says Bankers Caused War The United States entered the World War on the side of the Allies because the Allies were the customers of the United States, and owed Amer- ican bankers huge sums, General Butler said. "We've got to separate patriotism from nationalism," he stated. "Pa- triotism in love. The flag-wavers talk about 'love of country' and 'war to end war.' The dying soldier talks about something else, and he never says he is dying so Standard Oil pro- fits will increase." The American people will not go to war voluntarily, General Butler as- serted. During thesfirst 27 days after the United States' declaration of war in 1917, he pointed out, only 36,- 000 men volunteered. "And then they got out the kidnap-men," he said. War A 'Class Racket' "Henry Ford's son couldn't be spared," General Butler declared, "and Morgan's son sailed away-on a yacht to Newport. War is the big- gest class racket, and the only way to stop it is to organize the 'soldier class' against it." General Butler asserted that a na- tion always believes it is fighting a defensive war. "When I went down to Cuba," he pointed out, "I was de- fending my mother in Chester Coun- ty, Pa., and the.Spaniards were de- fending their homes in Spain." Persons are induced to support war, he said, by playing on their emotions with such phrases as "flag insulter" and "defend the , freedom on the seas." He charged big business with using the flag to defend its foreign enterprises, and expecting 127,000,000 Americans to back up the flag when it is so used.

Williams, Chemistry Graduate, Is Discovered The body of John Granville Wil- liams, 24-year old graduate student from Wallingford, Conn., was found at 12:45 p.m. yesterday, hanging from a rafter in his room, at 422 Kingsley St. William's suicide is surrounded by mystery. He left no message, has been in good health, received good marks and had no financial worries. Police and University authorities were aft a loss last night to explain his death. Came Here In October Son of C. H. Williams, Hartford, Conn., mail clerk, Williams came to the University in October to win his master's degree in chemistry. He obtained his B.S. degree from Yale in 1934. He was known to friends and faculty in the chemistry department as "an excellent student, quiet andl well-balanced." Although of a nerv- ous temperament, friends said he ex- hibited no extreme peculiarities and showed no signs of unusual worry. Whileaat Yale, he was a member of the Yale chess team. Williams seldom took part in social activities and had no dates while on the campus, his landlady, Mrs. Cornelia Herbert, said, although she remembered him once mentioning "the girl friend." When he first arrived in Ann Arbor in the fall, he stayed with Mrs. Amelia Ream at 520 North Main St., moving at the end of a week into a rooming house because Mrs. Ream kept only tourists. Seen In Chemistry Building Williams was seen in the Chemistry building between 7 and 8 p.m. Wed- nesday, presumably, chemistry pro- fessors believe, to complete a weigh- ing problem in quantitative analysis. Mrs. Herbert said she believed he came home shortly after 8 p.m., took a bath ,and went to bed. She looked in his room shortly before 8 a.m. yester- day to see if he had gone out, but seeing the shade down and his clothes on a chair, she closed the door again. At 12:45 p.m., she entered the room, stopped just inside the door when she saw signs that he had not yet dressed and gone to school and called to him, asking if he were ill. When she received no reply she went to the bed and saw his body hanging from a rafter above. The coroner said the death was a clear suicide, setting the time of death shortly after midnight, Thurs- day. BJLLETIN MONTREAL, March 27.-()- The Detroit Red Wings tonight defeated the Montreal Maroons 3 to 0 to take a two-game lead in the three out of five series for the championship of the National Hockey League. With the remainder of the 1 games to be played in Detroit, the Wings were a heavy favorite to tumble the world champions. De- troit downed Montreal in the first game, which broke all records for over-time play Tuesday night. The game had been an even affair for 49 minutes until Dave Trotgier was given a penalty.I Fred Howe tallied the first goal while Trotgier was off the ice andI then Herb Lewis and Larrie Aurie added two more as they broke fast in a desperate two-man at- tack to make victory assured. LAKELAND, Fla., March 27. - (AP) - Hank Greenberg, last of the important hold-outs, signed a contract to play first base for the world champion Detroit Tig- ers after a long conference with club officials tonight. Armed Bandit Holds Up Ann Arbor Grocery An armed bandit last night held up the West Side Market on Jackson Avenue at 9 p.m., escaping four min- utes before police arrived with a loot of about $70 in cash, which he scooped from the cash register after driving Robert and Margaret Eisele, employes and sole occupants of the store, into the basement of the build- ing. Police believed from the descrip- tion given that he was the same man who had stagedhone-man holdups in Wayne and Ypsilanti in the past week, and broadcast a call over the state police station immediately. Eisele reported that the bandit had entered the store twice previously during the day when customers had been present, and then left again. The proprietor, George Salem, was in Yp- silanti at the time of the holdup. His description was given as about 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 25 years old, and about 150 pounds. He had a small, light mustache. At the time of the robbery he was wearing a tan polo coat, grey hat ,and a dirty grey shirt. Eisele and his wife ran to the door as they heard him leave and report- ed that he was driving a light car, probably a coupe or roadster. Beta Theta Pi Will Not Appeal Closing Beta Theta Pi fraternity, to be closed April 1 by order of the execu- tive committee of the Interfraternity Council, will not appeal to the Uni- versity discipline committee, it was understood last night. Both George R. Williams, '36, presi- dent of the council, and Paul W. Phil- ips, '36, secretary-treasurer, refused to comment on the action of the ex- ecutive committee. ecI " Proflessor To Seek Democratic Nomination For Oiffice Renews Attack On Horatio J. Abbott ouples Announcement Plea For Uninstructed Delegates By FRED WARNER NEAL Prof. John H. Muyskens of the peech department, stormy petrel of dichigan Democratic politics, last ight announced his candidacy for he United States Senate, with a plea or uninstructed delegates to the tate convention in May. Professor Muysken's surprise an- iouncement is a change in his stand ince his last attack upon Horatio Abbott, chairman of the State'Dem- >cratic Central Committee and Na- ional Committeeman from Michigan everal weeks ago. At that time, rofessor Muyskens had intimated hat he might seek the Democratic omination for the Senate, but if he ot it, he said, he would resign and iupport Sen. James A. Couzens, nom- nal Republican. He had declared hat Couzens is a better Democrat han most of them and that he would ry to get the Detroit millionaire to -un for the Democratic nomination. Now, however, lie is seriously out or the post himself. "So many re- ports have come to me of people wh wish to circulate petitions in my be- half," Professor Muyskens explained, 'I told them seriously I would run if I can get the nomination and make the people see what I mean by good government. A sane, social program is what I am interested in." Professor Muyskens explained the background influencing his change of mind: "Originally Democratic of- ficials in Washington said they did not want a Democrat to run against Couzens. So I said I would seek the nomination, and if I got it, resign in [is favor. But apparently something went wrong and they no longer want Couzens to be unopposed., I will stick with the party. I will run for the Senate and try to make people see what I mean by good government," Coupled with the announcement of his candidacy and the plea for unin- structed delegates, Professor Muy- 5kens unleased a new attack at Ab- bott, charging him, indirectly, with 'wanton treachery." Referring to his charge that Abbott betrayed his party by voting for Governor Fitz- gerald in 1934, Professor Muyskens declared that no one should send hand-picked delegates for the pur- pose of continuing this condition of further frustrating the will of the majority. Such action can only mean ruin for our party next fall." 10 Passenrers With Crew Die In Plane Crash AMECAMECA, Mexico, March 26. - UP) - Ten German tourists, five of them women, and the crew of four were killed today when a special Pan- American plane en route to Guate- mala crashed between the valcanoes of Popocatepetl and Ixtlachihuatl. One American, Adrian Barchers, a pilot and technical adviser of Pan- American, was among the victims of the worst accident in the history of Mexican aviation. The plane crashed in less than 20 minutes after leaving the central airport at Mexico City, apparently as a result of motor trouble. The municipal president of Ame- cameca said that the tri-motored plane passed over Tenam flying low, then circled Popocatepetl, apparently intending to return to Mexico City. It then crashed between Popocatepetl and the neighboring volcano of Ixt- lachihuatl. LYNDHURST, Hampshire, Eng- land M rarch 2 _.-i)-Fnur men 'Townsend - ism' At Least 140 Yea By CLINTON B. CONGER Social security, old age pension plans, and the inheritance tax as in- tegral parts of an economic system are at least 140 years old, Prof. Ev- erett S. Brown of the political science department concluded yesterday from a little-known pamphlet of Thomas, Paine written in 1795 on those sub- jects.

General Butler admits that there are Fascistic tendencies in the United States, but he flatly disagrees with those who say there is a danger of Fascism in this country - or Com- munism either, for that matter. But
