XLVI No. 128 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENTS irinrrrMy Mong olia Asks Quiet BOn Border Demands Manchoukuoan Government Take Action To End Incidents Japan Plots Crisis, Soviet Press Says Mongolian-Russian Mutual Assistance Pact Signed; Border, Fights Continue MOSCOW, March 28. - (P) - A demand for immediate action to put an end to frontier raids was contained in a note from the government of Outer Mongolia to the Manchoukuoan administration made public here to- night. The official Russian press intimat- ed a belief that the Japanese were in- stigating the -critical situation along the border of Manchoukuo, set up as an independent state by Japan, and the Russian-advised Republic of Out- er Mongolia. The Mongolian note was sent to Manchoukuo Friday, after resump- tion of border fighting, which the Mongolians declared resulted from an attempt by Japanese and Manchou- kuoan troops to occupy a Mongolian froptier post in the Norin Lake dis- trict. Outer Mongolia has agreed, it was1 disclosed today, to a mutual assist- ance pact with Soviet Russia, which provides that the might of the huge Red Army would be used to repel any invasion of Mongolia by foreign forces. Soviet press reports said five Jap- anese cavalrymen had crossed the deadline of the border between Man- choukuo and Russia near Borzinsky, and that only two of them had escaped alive. A Soviet border patrol caught them. v, Role Of Student In Wmar Subject Of Next Senate The second session of the Student Senate will convene at 7:45 p.m. Thursday to discuss "What Can the Student Do to Keep the Country out of War?" Three faculty men will address those present, presenting their opin- ions for 10 minutes each on neutrali- ty, the League of Nations and in- creased armaments. Then the topic will be thrown open to students to speak on from the floor. The Student Senate, planned to promote open discussion, is a proj- ect of students and professors in the social science units of the University. The initial meeting was held a week ago Tuesday when students argued as to whether they should support the old parties in 1936. At that time, al- though all sentiments were well rep- resented, advocates of the New Deal and of formation of a Farmer-Labor party carried off the evening. More Culture For Engineers Is Topic Of Grudge Debate A feud debate will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Union Open House between the rival honorary speech societies of the literary and; en:gineering, 'colleges, Adelphi and Sigma Rho Tau, it was announced yesterday. As a result of the literary society's' "meddling" in engineering affairs, it was explained, the debate will center about the questi3n "Resolved: That the engineering college extend its cur- riculum to five years to include more cultural subjects," with Adelphi tak- ing the affirmative and Sigma Rho Tau the negative. The members of the Adelphi so- ciety who will participate in the de- bate include: Bruce A. Johnson, '38, Thomas C. VanSluyters, '37, and Vic- tor H. Weipert, '37, Sigma Rho Tau hn' not asvet nicked its members. Dickinson Warns cooperatives Against 'StubbingTheir Toes' Administrative Difficulties Of Plan Are Emphasized By Economics Professor Not "particularly enthusiastic" over the American cooperative move- ment, and inclined to warn its pro- ponents of the danger of "stubbing their toes" before they get very far along, Prof. Z. Clark Dickinson of the economics department analyzed practical aspects of the movement yesterday in an interview. In contrast to the socio-religious zeal of Toyohiko Kagawa, whose lec- tures here last week on the coopera- tive movement created wide-spread campus interest, Professor Dickinson was inclined to emphasize the admin- istrative difficulties commonly pre- senting themselves to consumer co- operatives, and to point out the fac- tual differences underlying the slug- gishness of the movement in this country as compared with those in European and Asiatic nations. Under the so-called "Rochdale" principles, referring to the origin of the movement among textile workers in Rochdale, England, Professor Dickinson explained the essential nature of cooperatives as enterprises which distribute profits to their pa- trons rather than their owners. Investors receive a fixed amount, all have but one vote, ordinary retail prices are charged and profits are distributed to members on the basis of the amounts they have purchased. These cooperatives, he continued, are faced with three major problems, none of which is easily resolved. The first is the necessity of keeping their New Geography Camp Is Set Up In NewEngland The Summer Session geography de- partment has announced it will con- duct a camp this summer in New England in the porthern part of the Connecticut valley and at Green Bay, Wis. This will be the first time that the camp will be held in New England. The camp formerly held in Kentucky by the geography department will not be held this year, it was also an- nounced. .{ The camp in northern Michigan under the direction of Prof. Kenneth, C. McMurray, chairman of the geo- graphy department, will be the oly field work sponsored by the geography; department outside of Ann Arbor. The students desiring to take the field work in New England will spend the first three or four weeks at Green Bay and then proceed to the base in New England. The camp in New England will be under the direction of Prof. Stanley D. Dodge, of the geography depart- ment. He explained that the camp will be conducted primarily for the purpose of discovering the effects of the utilization of the land. Flood Waters Reach Indiana AndKentucky CINCINNATI, March 28. - (P) - The Ohio River, receding from above flood stage levels in the Upper Valley, pushed to higher stages below Cin- cinnati tonight and inundated addi- tional thousands of acres of lowland sections in Kentucky and Indiana. Serious flood conditions threatened in Western Kentucky where the Ken- tucky River and other Lower Valley tributaries burst their banks. Louisville feared a major flood should additional rains add to the water that kept the river at or above flood stage throughout its 981-mile length from Pittsburgh to Cairo. Meteorologist W. C. Devereaux said only light and scattered showers with colder weather, were in prospect and that the rain would not affect the river. The river stood stationary slightly above 60 feet here after reaching a crest of 60.6, and was similarly eight feet above flood stage as far as Evans- ville, Ind. May Shift Flogging Trial From Tampa TAMPA, Fla., March 28. - (1P) - A jury still not seated with the venire membership through their "patron- age dividends." A high degree of managerial efficiency is required to make such savings over and above the highly-efficient operation of pri- vate large-scale retailers, and The length of time required for these dividends to accrue to the consumer often discourages active interest. The other problems are ones of ad- ministration, he said. In rural com- munities the cooperatives, by giving everyone an equal vote, create a sit- uation in which "everybody's business is nobody's business"; and when or- ganized on a wider scale, necessitat- (Continued on Page 2) Church Talks Today Center Ahout Kagawa Brashares And Blakeman Will Discuss Philosophy Of Japanese Leader Several of the churches will fea- ture discussions and sermons on the religion and philosophy of Kagawa, who spoke in the Martin Loud lec- tures last week, on their programs today.

"Confession' Is Behind Latest Hoffian Move Statement Of A Forner T renton Man Cause Of New Appeal State Is Skeptical Of New Evidence* Police Begin Investigation Of Story; lauptmann Reprieve Possible TRENTON, N. J., March 28. - () - A purported "confession" of the Lindbergh baby kidnaping by a for- mer Trenton man was disclosed to- night to have been used by Governor Harold G. Hoffman as a basis for calling the Court of Pardons to meet Monday on Bruno Richard Haupt- inann's second clemency plea. The Governor was reported to have mailed to all members of the Pardons Court copies of a statement made, by the man to Ellis H. Parker, chief of Burlington County detectives, who has insisted that Hauptmann is in- nocent of the kidnap-murder of the; Lindbergh child. Hauptmann is scheduled to die for the crime Tuesday night. At the same time this becameh known, prosecution officials met in a hotel here to outline their plans to meet this new attack upon the case against Hauptmann. There was a tendency on the partf of those opposed to Governor Hoff-f man's activities in Hauptmann's be-' half to discount the value of the "confession," which had been rumored in Trenton for several days. Attorney-General David T .Wilentz chief prosecutor of Hauptmann, has' been furnished a copy of the state- ment which was said to have been un- signed and not in affidavit form but consisted of questions by Parker and1 answers by the man. Wilentz, Anthony M. Hauck, Jr., Hunterdon County prosecutor, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the State Police and Capt. John J. Lamb of the State Police, met in the hotel session to consider a course of action. A high prosecution source said that the man was in custody "somewhere in New Jersey.', State troopers were ordered to begin an intensive investigation into all angles of the man's story. This development was given added significance by the fact that prosecu- tion officials agreed the Court of Pardons itself could grant a reprieve to Hauptmann - something which it has never done in any other case.

Michiuan Swimmers in National Crown AsKasley Sets Two World records Michigan Police Gather For 3rd Annual Parley Public Safety Is Leading Topic In 4-Day Session Opening Tomorrow The third Institute for Law En- forcement Officers, opening here to- morrow for a four-day session, will bring state police, sheriffs, police chiefs, and their subordinates throughout the state for conferences, lectures, and discussion of scientfic treatment and technical methods of detection, crime control, traffic reg- ulation, and other matters of public safety. The Institute is sponsored by the Extension Division of the University, and will be directed by Prof. Orlando W. Stephenson, director of social stu- ies for the Schbol of Education in University High School, who as gen- eral chairman will conduct the meet- ings to be held every morning and afternoon through Thursday. The purpose of the Institute is to facilitate the exchange of informa- tion between law enforcement officers and other persons interested or expert in effective enforcement.

This year for the first time the question of public safety will be con- sidered at length, occupying the last two days of the sessions with dicus- sions of traffic control and regula- tion. Taxation Ford's Topic In Union Lecture Today "Federal Taxation" will be the top- ic of the fifth lecture in the Sunday series sponsored by the Union to be given by Prof. Robert S. Ford of the economics department at 4:15 p.m. today in the Union Ballroom. Professor Ford will give a valua- tion of the new tax proposals which are being considered by Congress at the present time with especial em- phasis upon the much talked about corporation surplus tax provision. As Union officials pointed out, Pro- fessor Ford is "very well qualified to speak on the subject of taxation." His experience in this field, both practical and theoretical, has been very wide. A few years ago Professor Ford was a research investigator for the New York State Tax Commis- sion and since 1922, when he was first instructor at Columbia Universi- ty, Professor Ford has been teaching. In 1933 the Department of Agricul- ture appointed Professor Ford to serve as an agricultural economist, and he served in this position until 1934. The Sunday lecture series is spon- sored by the Union, Ruth Bowman, '37, Union council man stated, "to give both students and the general public an opportunity to hear about the research and investigation as well as about the practical experience of faculty men in their special fields of interest. The speech by Professor Ford will be the fifth in the series, which will be continued through the remainder of the semester. Hughes May Begin Long Flight Today NEWARK, N.

The Wolverines sdored 30 points, followed by Iowa with 21 and Yale with 17. Michigan won four titles, by Kasley in the 200-yard breast-stroke, by the medley relay team, by Der Johnston in the low board diving and by Cap- tain Frank Fehsenfeld in the high board diving. Jack Medica, a human nautical au- tomaton from the University of Wash- ington, splashed his way to victory in the 440-yard free style race to suc- cessfully defend the third of his na- tional titles. The dark-haired Seattle speedster captured the 1500 meter and 220 yard free-style events yesterday. By win- ning tonight, he became a triple N.C.- A.A. champion for the third time in as many years. A short time before this event, Jack Kasley, Michigan's great star, turned in a 2:25 for the 200-yard breast-' stroke which bettered the existing' world's record of 2:25.2 made by J. Cartonnnet of France last May. The performance went by unno- ticed, however, by all except a few being dimmed by the 2:22.5 for the same distance which the husky Wol- verine speedster turned in during his afternoon heat.

In 'Election' Today BERLIN, March 28. -(tCP) -The German nation will approve Reichs- fuehrer Hitler's policies tomorrow. Germans will participate in one of the greatest civic mobilizations the world ever has seen, and they will vote an unconditional "Ja" of approv- al concerning their leader's actions of the last three years. Not a German "Aryan"-man or woman - above the age of 20 years, except soldiers, will dodge the polling places if Hitler's Nazi storm troops can help it. Unless the German voter wishes to be branded a traitor, he will be unable to do anything but put a cross in the ballot's single circle. BULLETIN BYRON, Ga., March 28.-(R) A fast pilot train of the Central of Georgia Railroad crashed into a bus at a crossing in the heart of the business section tonight kill- ing, according to first reports, eight persons and injuring five others. Dr. James B. Kay, who treated the injured before they were tak- en to a hospital at Macon, a score of miles northeast of here, said apparently seven bodies were By FRED WARNER NEAL Malcolm Bingay might have blushed and staff members of "one" of the Detroit morning papers might have felt slightly embarassed if they had seen the journalism department's concept of "The Flea Press" at the Scoop Dance last night in Palmer Field House. The editor of the Flea Press was named Yapp, and in a manner strong- ly suggesting a column entitled "Good Morning," he started out by denouncing "some fool college pro-t fessors who seem to think freedom of press means freedom of speech. When I say free press," continued Mr. Yapp, (played by Jerome Patterson, '36) who imagined himself similar to Na- poleon, "I mean free press for my own paper, The Flea Press." The play, apparently perfectly se- rious, was enacted by students of Kappa Tau Alpha, honorary journal- But then in came a female col--I lege journalist, who, Mr. Yapp wasl informed, had been sent to get scan- dal news from four stalwart citizens -a minister, a banker, a politician and a Daughter of the American Revolution. Mr. Yapp said he knew the poor girl (played by Gertrude Veneklasen, '36) would fail, but was he surprised when she came in with the goods? Mr. Yapp nearly had a hemorrhage. The college sob-sister found the low-down of the minister and a cer- tain blonde soprano in his choir, how the banker had appropriated the trust fund for himself, how the politician had sold himself to the utilities in- terests and how the Daughter of the Revolution admitted that George Washington was a Red. "Oh," said Mr. Yapp, holding his head in his hands. Of course, he told her, the Flea Press can't print
