Luther, '39, was killed and her three companions were in- jured in an automobile accident early Saturday morning on Route US-112, seven miles east of Ypsilanti. Miss Luther was the 21-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Merrill J. Luther, of 708 Haven Ave. She was a member of the freshman class and was pledged to the Kappa Phi soror- ity. The driver of the car, Evelyn W. Hawley, 23, of 2717 Kenilworth Ave., was injured. She is the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. Ransom S. Hawley. Professor Hawley is a member of the engineering college faculty. Miss Hawley's injuries were not believed to be serious by officials of the Beyer Memorial Hospital, Ypsilanti, where she was taken. The two students accompanying the young women, Julius F. Bartus, '36E, 1614 Brooklyn Ave., and Edwar& E. Brereton, '37Spec., of White Plains, N.Y. both escaped with minor in- juries. According to state police, the acci- dent occrred between 2 and 2:30 a.m. Saturday, near Canton Center, Rd., as the car of the four young people, returning to Ann Arbor from Detroit, skidded on the icy pave- ment when Miss Hawley applied the brakes, causing the vehicle to swerve into the rear of a parked truck.

Davison Breaks Leg, Dorothy Webb Fractures Vertebra In Arboretum Two students are being confined in University Hospital as a result of a tobogganning accident about 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon in the Arboretum. Two others escaped injury as the to- boggan on which they were riding catapulted over a roadway and into the adjoining ditch. Robert C. Davison, a student in the engineering college, is suffering from a Iractured leg. Both the tibia and the fibula were fractured, causing him considerable pain, although the injury was not considered serious. He was transferred from the Health Ser- vice to the Hospital immediately fol- lowing the accident. Dorothy M. Webb, '37, was con- fined to the Health Service until yesterday, following examination of X-rays. She was thought to be suf- fering from a wrenched back upon preliminary diagnosis, but the X- rays showed that she had fractured one of the vertebrae. A. Virginia Weidlein, '38, and Carl M. Post, '38, who accompanied the injured, were released from the Health Service as soon as they were examined. Miss Webb and Miss Weidlein are members of Gamma Phi Beta, and Davison and Post both belong to Theta Chi. Niehuss, Werner Get Appointments The appointment by the Board of Regents of Marvin L. Niehuss as as- sociate professor of law and the re- appointment of Heinz Werner as in- structor in psychology were an- nounced yesterday. Professor Niehuss will assume the position of Prof. E. C. Goddard, who retired last June. Since 1927, Pro- fessor Niehuss has served as instruc- tor in economics, research assistant in the Bureau of Buiness Research, instructor in real estate administra- tion, instructor and research associate in the School of Business Administra- tion and part time instructor in law.

Society Hears Miller Predict Italy'sFailure Speech Features Program At 56th Annual Meeting Of Michigan Engineers Mussolini's venture into muddy, barbaric Ethiopia, arising out of Italy's abrnormally large population increase, will probably end disaster- ously for him, Col. Henry W. Miller, head of the department of mechan- ism and engineering drawing, told 200 members of the Michigan Engineer- ing Society, and their wives, assemb- ?ed in the Union last night-for their 56th annual meeting. With the aid of charts and colored slides, Colonel Miller, consultant fo the United State war department, showed the engineers why, with the rainy season almost ready to deluge the country, the Fascist troops would be forced out of the South and South- east and stopped from advancing in the North. The attacks in the South and Southeast, he said, were merely bluffs to draw Ethiopian soldiers from the northern area of Makale v here the fighting is the fiercest. In the afternoon session of the con- vention, R. C. King-Scott of Kala- mazoo was elected president of the society.; Vice-President is Louis Shrink and secretary is 0. . Hess of Grand Rapids. These officers with other guests, who included Murray Waggoner, state highway commis- sioner, and Grover C. Dilman, presi- dent of the Houghton School of Mines, sat at the speakers table inI the evening.1 Today's sessions will begin at 9:30 a.m. in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre with a symposium on mod- ern housing. County Jail Home Sweet Home Itself To Dodger Collins Things are coming to a pretty pass when even the police department can't help a man keep his New Year's resolutions. "Dodger" Harry Collins, about 51 years old, who uses the county jail for lack of a more permanent ad- dress, spent 295 days of last year's quota of 365 in the Washtenaw cala- boose - enough to make anyone turn over a new leaf, and so Harry planned to at least have good intentions to- ward a policy of non-inebriation, -drunk and disorderly being the re- curring charge in his case. But yesterday back he went to the welcoming arms of Sheriff Jacob Andres, who calls him "Dodger" be- cause he spends all his time "dodging in and out of the jail." The charge was the usual "drunk and disorderly," the time was 15 days, and the sen- tence was the second this year. "He must like it pretty well over there," officers commented."' The food's all right, and it's nice and warm." Sergeant Norman Cook of the Ann Arbor police department es- timated that Sheriff Andres' most steady customer had been convicted "at least a couple of hundred times in the last ten years." BULLETIN TOKIO, Feb. 18. - (Tuesday) - The newspaper Nichinichi, in a dis- patch from Hsinking, Manchukuo, reported today that the Soviet con- sulate-general at Harbin. Man- chukuo, had informed the Manchu- kuan government of Moscow's in- tention to close five consulates here. Simultaneously, the dispatch said, the consulate-general gave notice that Moscow will insist that Manchu- kuo withdraw one of its two conul- ates in Siberia. Cagers Lose To Hoosiers In Last Half Huffman, Gunning Lead Indiana To 37-23 Win; Jake Townsend Stars Passing Play Of Team Is Stopped Wolverine Offense Bogs After Gaining 14-12' Lead In First Half By RAYMOND A. GOODMAN BLOOMINGTON, Id.,- Feb. 17.- Paced by the brilliant defensive play of Vernon Huffman, the Hoosiers' passing quarterback and basketball guard, Indiana's cage team came back in the last half tonight to de- feat a faltering Michigan five, 37 to 23, in the Indiana Field house. Despite the scoring of John Town- send, who hit for five field goals and three free throws to account for all but three of the Wolverines' baskets, the Varsity was unable to keep pace with the Hoosiers, who came back after trailing 14 to 12 at the half to overwhelm the Michigan team. Keith Gunning's offensive play was the spark which set the Indiana ma- chine in motion. Slow to start, Gun- ning began hitting longs and shorts in the second half to give Indiana a lead which they held with a stalling game which kept the ball away from the Wolverines. Indiana let the Wolverines bring the ball down the floor but once un- der the basket John Townsend's pass- ing was stopped by the leech-like de- fensive play of Vern Huffman, for the second time redeeming himself for his grid showing. And with Gunning, Huffman shared Hoosier scoring honors at 11 points. After a neck and neck bat- tle into the middle of the second half, with Huffman sustaining the Hoosier offense, Gunning began to break loose, breaking around Bill Barclayand John Townsend to go under the basket. John Gee, starting at center, played one of his finest games, although Fred Fechtman, Indiana's six-foot, nine inch center got the jump. Fecht- man's height, with Huffman's bril- liant defensive play, counterbalanced the lheight advantage which the Wol- verines claimed under the basket. Prof. Hayden Visions Success In Philippines Former Vice-Governor Of Islands Says New Set-up Will Be Successful ' Certain that the new Philippine Commonwealth has an "excellent chance for success," Prof. Joseph R. Hayden left off being vice governor of the Philippine Islands yesterday and became a teacher of political science here once more. Although Professor Hayden, who arrived in Ann Arbor Feb. 4 after a hurried trip across Asia and Europe, admitted that the situation created by the Tydings-McDuffy Act is "not ideal" from the standpoint of either American or Filipino, nevertheless he is firm in his belief that the new set- up, at least so far as the Common- wealth is concerned, will be success- ful. The Tydings-McDuffy Act creates an autonomous Commonwealth with an American protectorate prior to complete independence. If both Americans and Filipinos recognize the facts, cooperate and at- tempt to work out the problems as best they can, Professor Hayden said, "I think there is an excellent chance for the Commonwealth to provide a good government that will be able to meet its financial obligations and maintain that degree of law and order reasonably expected of a modern state in the civilized world. Like every major political change however," he continued, "this one will probably bring some good results and some in- j urious. "Political independence has been the goal and ideal of the Philippines for 40 years," Professor Hayden em- (Continued on Page 2) President Ruthven Is Reported Better Work On Burton Tower Will Begin Soon; To Rise 192 Feet Court Construction work on the M. L. Burton Memorial Tower, which will contain the Charles Baird Carillon, is scheduled to begin in several weeks, according to a statement issued last week by President Ruthven. The Tower as designed by Albert Kahn, Inc., will rise 192 feet 2 inches; it will be located opposite the main entrance of the League and near the rear of Hill Auditorium. According to present plans the Tower will be situated on a mall which will extend from the new Graduate School to the General Library. The English firm which is casting the bells will have completed its work in time to ship them during the summer. University officials expect the instruments to arrive in Ann Ar- bor in September. According to con- struction plans the Tower will have been completed by that time to the tenth floor, where the bells will be hung. The installation must be ex- ecuted before the upper portion of the campanile can be completed. The first floor of the Tower will include a lobby, elevator room, stair- Scott Nearing Speaks Today On Radicalism 'The Way Out-Fascism+ Communism' Will Discussed At 4:15 Or Be "The Way Out --Fascism or Com- munism?" will be discussed by Scott Nearing, prominent radical economist and sociologist, in a lecture at 4:15 p.m. today in Natural Science Audi- torium. The talk is sponsored by the National Student League. Dr. Nearing has recently completed a European visit which took him to both the fascist nations and the Soviet Union, giving him an oppor- tunity to observe at first hand the contrast of life under the communist and fascist regimes. A book on world economy is now being prepared by Dr. Nearing, whose writing on economic and social sub- jects has been extensive. "Dollar Di- plomacy," written in collaboration with Joseph Freeman is perhaps the best known of his books and pamph- lets, although "Wages in the United States," and "Financing the Wage Earner's Family" are important so- ciological contributions. Dr. Nearing's varied educational career has taken him to the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College, and the University of To- ledo. Since the World War he has taught at both the Rand School of Social Science and the Workers School in New York City. His de- bates with Bertrand Russell and Prof. Edwin A. R. Seligman of Columbia University have gained considerable attention, and brought forth the opinion of Roger Baldwin, head of the American Civil Liberties Union, that Dr. Nearing "is a better spokes- man for communism and the Soviet Union than the orthodox friends in control of the party." Dr. Nearing, who spoke in Detroit Sunday, will return there to speak again Wednesday. He will be intro- duced here by Prof. Preston W. Slos- son of the history department. way entrance and a memorial room. The next seven floors will be given over to 31 practice rooms for the School of Music. The carilloneur's study will occupy the entire ninth floor. Here will be his study and practice room, the clock and chime machinery and the elevator machin- ery. There will be elevator service to the ninth floor. A stairway will run from the base of the tower to the bell chamber. The two floors above the bell chamber will be reaced by lad- ders or stairways. According to this plan there will be both elevator and stairway traffic to the eighth floor, and only stairways above this level. Financial support for the carillon and electric clock came from Charles Baird, who donated $67,500. The University has at its disposal suffi- cient funds to cover the cost of they music tpiactice :rooms. The Ann Arbor University of Michigan Club has adopted the program of raising money to pay for the construction work above the eighth floor. The or- ganization has set $25,000 as its campaign goal. The Burton Memorial Tower, com- plete with the Baird Carillon, will be ready for dedication before the Christmas season, when it will play an important part in the annual Community Sing. That Ann Arbor residents will have an opportunity to share in the building is a feature of the University Club's plan. The priv- ilege of having his name inscribed on the interior walls of the Tower will be offered to any person or group which aids in the construction of the building. ihree Winners Of Hopwoods Are Announced Winners of first prizes of $50 each in the fifth annual Freshman Hop- wood Contest, are: Marion Cranmore, Bellerose, N.

TVA Held Constitutional As New Deal Gains Major Victory, Eight-One Can Dispose Of Surplus Power Manufactured At Wilson Dam At Shoals Declares Question Is Up To Congress Court Says Goverm Owned Property, Has OwnDisposal ament And WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. -(P)_- The Government won a major victory in the Supreme Court today when the justices, by eight to one, held the TVA could dispose of surplus power man- ufactured at Wilson Dam at Muscle Shoals. Justice James C. McReynolds dis- sented. Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes handed down the detailed ruling before a crowd of prominent lawyers and members of Congress at 1 p.m. Only power from Wilson Dam had been sold by the TVA. The justices held that Federal dis- position of power was a question for Congress to answer, not the courts, and upheld the right of the govern- ment to dispose of all surplus power made at dams intended to promote navigation or aid national defense. The government owned the prop- erty, said Chief Justice Hughes, and there was nothing n the Constitution to limit the government's disposition of the power. The general purposes of TVA, it was decided, present no "justiciable ques- tion." The dictionary defines "jus- ticiable" as "proper to be examined in a court of justice." "The Tennessee River is a navi- gable stream," said Hughes, develop- ing the thesis that the Constitution reposed power over navigation in the Federal government. The court, by its ruling, upheld a contract for sale by the Alabama Power Co. of transmission lines to the Tennessee Valley Authority. The decision was confined to the case im- mediately before the court. The right of the government to seek wider mar- kets for power than was provided by the Alabama Power Co. stands up. Some of the power produced by the (Continued on Page 2) Ohio Wrestlers o13, From Michigan COLUMBUS, O., Feb 17. --MA)- Ohio State wrestlers lost the first three matches of a meet here tonight to Michigan but then won the next five to take the meet, 17 to 13. The Wolverines started fast, John Speicher taking an overtime 118- pound match from Andrews in 4.49. Cameron, using a top scissors, stopped Elliott and Earl Thomas pinned Ohio's captain Cox with a double grapevine half nelson. That put Michigan ahead 13 to 0. Bernie Mindlin, sophomore 145 pounder, started Ohio's scoring by defeating Heavenrich with a 3:42 ad- vantage. Then Schurher defeated Gross, Boehm defeated Lowell, and Bernie Heiser gave Ohio a 14-13 lead by dropping Stan Schuman in 2:02 with a head scissors and keylock. Bob Lightburn, Ohio heavyweight, sewed up the match by defeating Jim Lincoln.

Moore of the electrical engineering department. The article has been written for the Technic by S. M. Smith, '38E, and de- scribes the way in which Prof. Moore's invention evolved, and the problems is located in the basement of West Engineering building, is also featured in the February Technic. The author is James F. Goodrich, '36E. Continuing the series of advisory articles by professors and leading en- gineers on practical problems being faced by engineering and college graduates, the Technic presents in this issue a paper on "The Sales Engineer," written by Harry J. Fisher of the Clark Controller Company, Cleveland, 0. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. - (P) - Major points of the TVA decision: The question to be determined was "limited to the validity of the contract" between the TVA and the Alabama Power Co. for transmission lines.* * * "The pronouncement, policies and program of the Tennessee Valley Au- thority and its directors, their mo- tives and desires did not give rise to a justiciable controversy, save as they that it was only entitled to rule on the contract for the purchase of transmission lines and the constitu- tionality of the construction of Wil- son Dam. * * * * The court held there was ample support for the view that Wilson Dam was built for national defense. * * * * * It also held that the dam was con- stitutional as a project for the im- provement of navigation, pointing to
