S., April 22. - (Wednesday)-(AP)-His courage bol- stered as he and his companion lis- tened to feverish rescue workers tear- ing into the rock wall that holds them prisoners in an uncharted gold mine, Dr. D. E. Robertson early today said "I'm good for 30 hours." Draegerman crews and carpenters, coming to the surface after the 11:30 p.m. shift, expressed the opinion "the boys on the next shift will break through." The frantic efforts of the rescue workers, delayed temporarily when rotten cribwork blocked the passage- way in the original operating shaft, had reduced the distance still to go to about 15 feet. Dr. Robertson, who for nine days has been entombed 141-feet under- ground with Charles Alfred Scadding sent words ofencouragement to the surface. After a conversation, Michael Dwyer, minister of mines, said the men had told him they knew help was not far off. 'No Immediate+Danger' "I am sure they are in no imme- diate danger," said Dr. H. K. Mac- Donald, one of the physicians with the hospital unit at the surface after he talked to Dr. Robertson and Scad- ding. "From the strength -of their voices we are satisfied they are able to live 24 hours and engineers say they'll certainly be through in that time. "Those men are coming out of there alive," he asserted. "We are equipped for any emergency." The collapse of the rotton crib- work sent a chill of despair over the hearts of the feverish miners and the anxious watchers on the surface. Immediately, carpenters were sent below to replace the rotten supports with new timbers. The delay, the workers knew, cost precious moments. A new pipe line similar, to the one down which the communication sys- tem was dropped yesterday was being completed. Down the new hole, en- gineers planned to drop heating ap- paratus and other necessities includ- ing a transmitter and receiving equip- ment. Loose Rock Cleared Dwyer said the miners had cleared up the four or five feet of loose rock ahead of them and between 18 and 20 feet remained before they could pen- etrate to the prison chamber. Under ordinary circumstances, the minister said, draegermen could tun- nel through 20 feet of rock in five hours but it may take longer in the cramped quarters in the gold mine. "I am. going down at 3 a.m.," Dwyer said, "and I am going to stay down until we get the men up." "We are on the right trail," said Provincial Mines Inspector J. Mes- servey when the original operating (Continued on Pane 2 Brucker May Sidestep Clash With Couizens LANSING, April 21. - (RP) - The possibility that the Brucker-Couzens contest may be kept off the floor of the Republican State convention in Detroit Friday appeared today. It was reported here that Brucker may make a public announcement that in view of his candidacy for the party nomination for United States Senator he does not wish to be elected a delegate-at-large to the National Convention. This would remove one of the major sources of the pros- pective conflict. Backers of Senator James E. Couz- ens, whom Brucker will oppose, con- tend it would be favoritism to make Brucker a delegate-at-large. Couz- ens has not been mentioned for a sim- ilar honor. The plan had been to name Governor Fitzgerald and former Governors Osborn, Green, and Bruck- er.

The question sort of floored our poker expert. He held a hurried con- ference with "the boys" and reported to the inquiring gentleman that a flush does beat a full house. But then they started arguing about it again. And the final outcome of the debate was that he was wrong. A flush does not beat a full house. (For the benefit of our non-poker playffrg readers, a flush is five cards of one suit, and a full house is three of a kind and a pair.) The outcome of the discussion was that The Daily drew up its official poker rules as follows, the lowest first: A pair, two pair, three of a kind, a flush, a full house, four of a kind, a straight flush and finally and su- preme, a royal flush.

Hoyle of University High School, president of the society. Combined with the University Hon- ors Convocation, the finals of the Michigan High School Forensic As- sociation, and the seventh annual conference on Teacher-Education, the Schoolmasters' Club will for that week-end make Ann Arbor the focus of educational activity for the entire state. In many high schools Friday classes are dismissed to allow teachers to attend the sessions, and in several of the rrecent meetings nearly 1,000 members and associates have par- ticipated in the sessions of the Club. To Be 50th Celebration All entries in the 1935-36 Avery Hopwood and Jule Hopwood Awards contest in creative writing must be submitted not later than 4:30 p.m. today, it was announced yesterday by' Prof. Roy W. Cowden, director of the Hopwood Awards committee. With major awards available to sen- ior and graduate students totalling a possible $8,000, and minor awards of $250 each available to undergrad- uates, the competition has always been keen and, according to Profes- sor Cowden, this year is unusually so, due to the even distribution of tal- ent among contestants in the four literary fields included. To Announce Judges Judges for the contest, selected from among outstanding contemp- orary authors, will not be announced until late in May, and the decision of the judges will be reported at the time of the Annual Hopwood Lecture on Literature, which will be given during the last week in May.

Slosson denounced isolation and told them that they, themselves, can keep America out of war. Three student speakers, John Mar- tin, '36L, Michael Evanoff, '36L, and Patricia Woodward, Grad., also ad- dressed the peace demonstration which was held on the mall between the College of Architecture and Uni- versity High School. Prof. Bennett Weaver of the English department presided in the absence of President Ruthven. The Varsity-R.O.T.C. Band also attended the meeting. Attacks Defeatist Spirit "The greatest danger of war," Pro- fessor Slosson asserted, "lies in a de- featist spirit." By a "defeatist spirit," he said he meant the attitude ex- pressed by "two letters by professors in The Daily" yesterday, declaring against war, but holding that the United States must nevertheless be heavily armed. "There is no single incident in history where preparedness has pre- vented war," Professor Slosson said, "but armament rivalry has caused many wars." Professor Slosson, an ardent ad- vocate of United States membership in the League of Nations, slapped at isolation when he said "an isolation- ist is not consulted when war comes. The way to prevent war, he stated, is through international cooperation. Outlines Program But in the last analysis, Professor -Slosson declared, the piroblem of keeping out of war is up to the indi- vidual. He outlined these activities the college student interested in peace should follow: 1. Vote for candidates and plat- forms that favor international co- operation. 2. Send letters to your congress- man expressing your views on spe-. cific issues. These, he said, the con- gressmen "will not read but will weigh." 3. Consider yourself in your com- munity as a "nucleus for peace prop- aganda." 4. Do not read "yellow journals." Applause followed this statement. 5. Be courteous to foreigners in an attempt to promote international understanding and good will. Professor Slosson indirectly hit at the Rev. Fr. Charles E. Coughlin, De- troit radio priest, when he referred to "a reactionary demagogue in De- troit who started a telegram cam- paign which kept the United States out of the World Court." Criticizes Fallacious Ideas Martin pointed out that the United States is in "absolutely no danger of attack" from any nation. He crit- icized as "fallacious" the philosophy of "my country, right or wrong," and said that the peace demonstration was the answer to The Daily's plea for action by peace groups here. Speaking from the collectivist's viewpoint, Evanoff placed the blame for all war squarely on capitalism. "The struggle for markets threatens to drag the dying capitalist system to the bottom of the sea," he said, "and us along with it." He hit at the House of Morgan, and charged that it, "along with other great capitalists, are foremost among the merchants of death." He cited Russia, "where the atmos- phere of war is abolished," as the "one spot in international politics" where a peace policy prevails. The way out for America, he advised, is the unity of all forces for peace. Miss Woodward, last of the student speakers, pointed to the "prominent part women play in the war process," and urged the students to "put hu- manity first" and work for an "ag- gressive pacifism."
