CORDELE, Ga., April 2. -() -
Spring storms, dancing an erratic
pattern of destruction through five
southern states, left more than 30
dead and millions of dollars of prop-
erty damage in their wake tonight.
Tornadic winds, which lashed
North Florida, Alabama, South Ca-
rolina and Georgia, killing sixteen
here alone, moved on northward and
late tonight battered at Greensboro,
where at least four were reported
dead and scores injured.
National guardsmen were called
out to aid in handling the situation
there.
At least 16 were dead here, eight
city blocks of residences were in ruins
and dozens were unaccounted for as
rescuers dug into the debris, fearful
of a mounting death list.
Georgia's death list of 22, and single
deaths in Alabama and South Caro-
lina brought the season's storm total
to 41. Seventeen persons died sev-
eral weeks ago in windstorms in Ala-
bama, North Florida and South Geor-
gia.
Five companies of National Guards-
men patrolled the storm area here
today and emergency stations were
established in residences and
churches. A new baseball stadium,
dedicated only yesterday in gala sur-
roundings was converted into a hos-
pital. ,
Nearby cities poured physicians,
nurses, special supplies and volunteer
rescuers into this stricken area. City
Manager John Brown estimated the
loss4here at between $500,000 and $1,-
000,000. -

Winter took a parting blast at
Michigan Thursday, leaving a large
part of the state under two to five
inches of snow and a coating of ice
reminiscent of mid-winter.
Temperatures dropped well below
freezing as the snow and sleet storm
rolled over the state but no serious
damage was reported to fruit trees
or to property.
At least four persons died in traf-
fic accidents, all involving railroad
crossing crashes. Richard Yensen,
25-year old South Lycn factory
worker, was killed when his automo-
bile was struck at the Nine Mile Road
crossing by a Pere Marquette Freight
train.
Three men, Lyle Martens, 23; Ro-
land Randal, 22, and Victor Noels,
23, all grocery clerks, were injured
fatally at Vicksburg when their au-
tomobile was struck by a northbound
Pennsylvania passenger train as they
drove to work. The three died in a
hospital soon after they were ad-
mitted.
The Michigan State College Hor-
ticultural department said the low
temperatures and ice had done "ab-
solutely no damage" to fruit trees,
already in bud, and said it would
take near zero weather to damage
them.
GREENSBORO, N. C., Apr. 2 -(/')
- At least seven persons were known
to be dead, scores were injured and
property damage estimated at from
$1,000,000 to $1,500,000 was done by a
tornado which struck Southwest
Greensboro early tonight.

Language Unity
Is Emphasized
In Carnap Talk
Similar Terms Needed For
Scientific Uniformity,
Professor Says
A unity of language was expressed
to be the basis for practical appli-
cation of knowledge to life by Prof.
Rudolf Carnap of the University of
Prague in his University lecture on
"Philosohy and Logical Analysis"
yesterday afternoon in the Natural
Science Auditorium.
Professor Carnap emphajiszed the
necessity of a uniform use of terms
in order to have a uniformity of
scientific laws. No advances can
be made in getting unity of science
as a whole, Professor Carnap stated,
unless a uniform terminology is ac-
quired.
He believed that new terms cannot
be introduced by the process of defi-
nition. Instead, Professor Carnap f a-
vored the reduction method. Defini-
tion, according to Professor Carnap,
does not offer a suitable means of
testing the validity of a new term,
as does the reduction method.
In science, said Professor Carnap,
when defining terms, a quantitative
measurement is used whereas in ordi-
nary usage a qualitative measure-
ment is employed.
Speaking of the terminology used in
different branches of science, Profes-
sor Carnap introduced the "Thesis of
Physicalism," which he explained to
be the physical language of common
usage plus other terms introduced by
science through either definition or
reduction. He stated that all terms
of a scientific language could be re-
duced to either physical or. biological
terms.

Heart Attack
Brings Death
ToDr.Barrett
64- Year -Old Psychiatrist
Director Of Hospital For
30 Years
In Auto Accident I
Before His Death
State Institution FoundedI
By Barrett First Of Its
Kind In United States
The campus today is mourning the
death of Dr. Albert Moore Barrett,
head of the department of psychiatry
and director of the State Psycho-
pathic Hospital here, who died early
yesterday morning in his home at 630
Oxford Road after a heart attack. Dr.
Barrett was 64 years old.r
The heart attack came on two
hours after he had been involved inz
an automobile accident near Belle-
ville when returning from Detroit,i
but Dr. Frederick R. Waldron, a close1
personal friend who attended him,t
said that the accident was not thet
direct cause of death.
Dr. Barrett came here 30 years
ago to establish the psychopathic1
hospital and remain as its director.
Only two months ago, Feb. 7, he wasI
given a testimonial banquet on the
anniversary of the founding, at whicht
he was presented with a bronze
plaque of Emil Kraepelin, the teach-
er under whom he had studied in
1901 and 1902 at Heidelberg Uni-
versity. The hospital was the first
institution of its kind in the United
States.
"For the, students of the Medical'
School Dr. Barrett was a most un-
usual and excellent teacher, but to1
us, his colleagues and assistants who1
have worked under him, he has been
of particular value as a leader and
for his personal instruction," Dr.,
Theron S. Hill, assistant to Dr. Bar-
rett at the Psychopathic Hospital last
night told the Daily.
Returning from Europe to the
T United States in 1902, Dr. Barrett in
1905 went'- to Harvard as a member
of the faculty in neurological path-
ology, and he was called to Michi-
gan in 1906.
He was a member of the American
Medical Association ,the American
Psychiatric Association, of which he
was president in 1922, the American
Psychopathological Association, of
which he was president in 1924, and
the American Neurological Associa-
tion.
He is survived by his son, Edward
B. Barrett, who graduated from the
Law School here last June, and has
been working in a Dtroit law office,
and by three sisters and a brother
living on the Pacific coast.
Funeral services will be held at
2:30 p.m. tomorrow in St. Andrew's
Episcopal Church. The Rev. Henry
Lewis will officiate. Burial will be
private.

Lieut Krenl Of Evanston
Explains Safety Drives
In Speech Here
The Michigan Law Enforcement In-
stitute closed its third annual session
here yesterday with speeches on traffic
regulation by James K. Watkins, for-
mer Detroit police commissioner, and
Lieut. F. M. Kreml of the Evanston,
Ill., police.
Lieutenant Kreml told the assem-
bled officers how Evanston had re-
duced its traffic death rate in eight
years from 23 to two fatalities per
100,000 inhabitants.
The safety drive, he said, had been
founded on a thorough system of ac-
cident investigation rather than ran-
dom arrests for speeding and similar,
violation. More than 80 per cent of
aacdents repreed'are ivestigated
by trained officers, and negligent driv-
ers are prosecuted whenever the evi-
dence warrants it.
By this approach to the safety prob-
lem, he said, public opinion has been
more easily enlisted on the side of
enforcement, and more concrete evi-
dence is available than with minor
I violations because of death, injury
or property damage as a result of ac-
cidents.
Solid Peace
Stand Taken
By Students
Senate Offers Challenge
To Pacifism And Backs
Anti-War Movement
Large Body Of 150
Attend Discussion
Many Advocate Neutrality,
Joining League, But Ask
For Practical Outlook
By FRED WARNER NEAL
A challenge of pacifism and a de-
cision to back the University Peace
Council came out of discussion by
150 persons who attended the second
session of the Student Senate last
night in the Union Ballroom.
The entire body was for peace.
They disagreed only on ways and
means of obtaining it. Speaker after
speaker advocated neutrality, join-
ing the League of Nations and com-
plete pacifism, but with the execp-
tion of a small minority, all stressed
the need for something practical.
As one student phrased it, "we must
keep our feet on the ground," and
as another said, "theory without
practice is no good and round table
discussion is worthless without ac-
tion." The students did not exactly
agree with,. General Butler that
"Peace strikes are a lot of baloney,"
but they did demand more than just
strikes.
The motion to back the Peace
Council and attend its next meeting
Tuesday was made by Doris Wisner,
'37, and unanimously approved. The
general articulate sentiment of those
present was in favor of an active
peace organization on the campus.,
Professor Remer Speaks
The senate meeting was addressed
by three speakers rather than the
four, Prof. Charles R. Remer of the
economics department, scheduled to
advocate neutrality, failing to show
up. Professor-emeritus William H.
Hobbs spoke in favor of "prepared-
ness." He was followed by Prof. John
P. Dawson of the Law School ad-
vocating membership in the League
of Nations ,and by Adrian Jaffe, 36,
advocating complete pacifism.
A note of humor was injected into
the procedeings when one student,
amid laughter, asserted that what
pacifism needs is"something to sat-
isfy men's physical desires. "
The majority of those students
urging pacifism agreed that one def-
nite means of action is to bombard
government officials with letters and
telegrams directing them to support
measures favorable to peace.
The Fascist nations - Italy, Ger-
many and Japan -were raked over
the coals as war-like, and several
students who did the raking main-
tained that war and the economic
system were bound up inseparably,
and they held that until capitalism
is abolished, there will always be war.
'Abolish R.O.T.C. Pay'
A different angle to the situation
was presented by a student, who, hit-
ting at the R.O.T.C., "wondered"
about boring from within the or-
ganization. He was answered by
Edward Stone, '36, president of the
Senate Council and an officer in the
R.O.T.C., who said hendid not believe
such a plan feasible, but rather urged
those oppposed to student military
training to work for an amendment
to the National Defense Act of 1920
which pays those students in their
last two years of R.O.T.C.
In urging preparedness. Professor
Hobbs told the assembly "that all
nations will become involved in war
at more or less frequent intervals.
The only way to prevent disaster in
war," he said, "is adequate national
defense by air force, navy and army."
Professor Dawson cited "the need
of joining the League of Nations be-
fore it is too late." Such action,
he held, would tend to remove the
causes of war. "It is a choice," he
told those present, "between joining
the League with a hope to prevent
war or war anyway."

Business Men
Protest New
Tax Program
Manufacturers' Speaker
Says Bill Is 'Disguised
Share-The-WealthPlan
Committee Attempts
To Close Hearings
Sargent Charges Measure
Would Bring Monolpolies
And Increase Speculation
WASHINGTON, April 2.-(P)-An
organized sector of American business
today assailed the House Ways and
Means Committee's $799,000,000 tax
program as unsound, tending to pro-
mote monopoly by destroying compe-
tition, and likely to increase specula-
tion, reorganizations and bankrupt-
cies.
Noel Sargent, secretary of the Na-
tional Manufacturers Association, re-
porting 2,600 firms on its membership
list, protested to the committee that
the new corporation tax plan "is but
a new share-the-wealth proposal in
disguise."
"The difficulty," he said, "is that it
would take the wealth of those who
need it to build up new enterprises
of the type that have given our na-
tion the highest wages and the high-
est standard of living in the world."
Instead of enacting what he called
a "completely unsound tax program,"
Sargent urged Congress to set up a
special commission to report back at
the next session what changes, if any,
are needed in existing tax policies.
As the committee continued in ses-
sion tonight in an attempt to con-
clude hearings on its nearly eight
hundred million dollar program by
the end of the week, Speaker Byrns
said a new tax bill might reach the
House floor within a fortnight.
"The delay in getting the bill' out,"
said Byrns, "indicates a well-rounded
revenue measure which we should be
able to get through the House within
a week after it is introduced."
The committee is considering sub-1
committee recommendations for rais-
ing $591,000,000 of additional govern-
ment income from a corporation tax
based on proportions of net income
withheld from distribution; $100,000,-
000 from a "windfall" tax on proces-
sors, who avoided payment of AAA
processing taxes; $83,000,000 from
temporary continuation of excess pro-
fits and capital stock taxes; and $25,-
000,000 from a tax on corporation div-
idends to foreigners.
Scholarships
Are Received
By 30 Seniors
Fellowships From $300
To $525 Announced
By Graduate School
Thirty seniors in colleges all over
America, seven of whom are enrolled
in the University of Michigan, re-
ceived official notice yesterday from
Dean Clarence S. Yoakum of the
Graduate School that they were
awarded University Scholarships.
The awards, based primarily on
ability and the letters of recommen-
dation accompanying each applica-
tion, are equivalent to the first and
second semester fees in the Graduate
School. Those nominated for the
scholarships must first earn at least
a Bachelor of Arts degree before en-
tering Michigan's Graduate School.
Each nominee has been requested to
signify, not later than April 15,
whether he is prepared to accept his
appointment.
Michigan seniors who ea'ned schol-
arships are George 1, Quimby, Jr.,
who is majoring in anthropology,
Robert E. Clark, chemical engineer-
ing, Alfred L. Wilds, chemistry,
r James R. Davey, electrical engineer-
ing, Ernest M. Halliday, English
Robert M. Rigg, geology and Ross A
Beaumont, mathematics.
The scholarships previously given
numbered 20 and went only to sen-
iors enrolled in the University of
Michigan. However, when it was de-
cided to allow students from other
colleges to compete, the number was
increased to 30 so that Michigan
seniors would still have sufficient
opportunityto win one, according to
Dean Yoakum.

Townsend Books
Muddled, Confused
'Mudd(led, Confused'
WASHINGTON, April 2. - (P) -A
special House investigating committee
today recorded surprise testimony
that the financial records of the
Townsend Plan were so "muddled and
confused" that four expert account-
ants failed to unravel them in a fort-
night's work.
Coincident with this disclosure,
Robert E. Clements, resigned national
secretary, testified that some $1,700
collected at a recent Townsend mass
meeting in Los Angeles was not turned
over to the Old Age Revolving Pen-
sions, Ltd., the parent corporation,
nor recorded on its books, although
he urged Dr. F. E. Townsend to do
so.
John Bloodsworth, Detroit office
manager of Price, Waterhouse, Co.,
certified public accountants of New
York, suddenly took the witness stand
late in the day and testified that an
eight, or nine-day examination of
the Townsend books had left his staff
of accountants unable to certify as
to assets and liabilities of the organ-
ization.

lish actor and director, has been en-
gaged to deliver a series of four lec-
tures on the theatre on four of the
Sunday afternoons during the 1936
Dramatic Season to be presented

Beneficiaries Of
AAA Are Hidden
Claims Fletcher
WASHINGTON, April 2. - () -
Henry P. Fletcher, chairman of the
Republican national committee, today
,accused Secretary Wallace of at-
tempting to "wise crack away" the
, demand of Senator Vandenberg (Rep.
IMich.) for a list of AAA beneficiaries
Swhoreceived more than $10,000 last
I year.
"Where more than a billion dollars
f in taxpayers' money is concerned,'
he said, "it is unbecoming to the. Sec-
retary of Agriculture to behave and

comedy role in vaudeville."

Body Discontinues Inquiry
Into Wendel Confession
Of Kidnaping
Neither Indictment
Nor 'No-Bill' Voted
Murder Charge Left Open
For Possible Continued
Deliberation Tuesday
TRENTON, N. J., April 3-(Friday)
- () - The fate of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann became suddenly more
beclouded than ever early today when
the Mercer County grand jury sud-
denly voted, after more than 12 hours'
deliberation, to discontinue its inves-
tigation into charges that the Lind-
bergh baby murder was committed by
Paul H. Wendel.
The jury, whose consideration of
the Wendel charges caused the post-
ponement Tuesday of Hauptmann's
execution, now set for tonight, did not
vote a "no-bill" which would have
dismissed the formal murder charge
on which Wendel now is held in jail,
nor did it vote an indictment.
Prosecutor Erwin Marshall said:
"The grand jury has voted to dis-
continue further investigation into
the Wendel case, and I have no fur-
ther instructions to summon or sub-
poena witnesses in this case."
Charge Left Open
The result, therefore, of its in-
quiry, which has included the ques-
tioning of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman,
Attorney-General David T. Wilentz,
Burlington County Detective Ellis
Parker, and Wendel himself, among
others, is to leave the murder charge
open for further action by the grand
jury, if it should desire, or the prose-
cutor.
Governor Hoffman's press aide,
William S. Conklin, said the Gover-
nor had "no comment," but Conklin
added:
"After all, the action was nega-
tive."
Richard Stockton, 3rd, Assistant
attorney general, however, said:
"The Wendel case is finished so
far as the grand jury is concerned.
The charge of murder died when
the grand jury failed to indict."
Asked if the grand jury might not
consider the case again when it meets
Tuesday, he said:
"Yes, it might. But that would be
contrary to common practice and
common sense."
Interprets Action
A high legal authority associated
with Hauptmann's prosecution, inter-
preting the grand jury's action, said:
"There is nothing standing in the
way of Hauptmann's execution to-
morrow night."
Prosecutor Marshall, when asked
if the grand jury could take up the
Wendel case next week, said:
"I can't speak for the grand jury.
It can take up anything it wants to."
Even before the grand jury took
up the Wendel case, Marshall, after
questioning the prisoner and an-
nouncing his repudiation of the kid-
naping "confessions," said he did not
believe the man had any connection
with the Lindbergh kidnaping.
Hauptmann's attorney, C. Lloyd
Fisher, said it was his understanding
that the failure of the grand jury
to take any action left the case "up
in the air."
"As a general proposition," Fisher
said, "A jury isn't finished with a
case until it returns an indictment or
no bill."
Beyond that he would not com-
ment. He said he would see Haupt-
mann today.
The jury's failure to take any action
