PHILADELPHIA, April 24. - (P) -
Walter Stone, Michigan distance star,
competing in the event for the first
time, displayed finishing speed as
well as stamina to capture the 3,000
meters steeplechase in 9 minutes,
44.8 seconds today in the Penn Re-
lays.
John Townsend, Wolverine bas-
ketball star, placed second to Walter
Wood, Cornell, in the shot put with
a throw of 45 feet, 5 3/4 inches, and
Widmer Etchells took fourth place
in the discus. His distance was 142
feet, 7 1/4 inches. Wood also won
this event.,
After setting all the early pace,
Stone was overhauled at the start of
the last lap by Walter Nachoney of
Temple who opened up a six-yard
margin, but the Wolverine came back
with a rush after splashing into the
water jump for the last time. Stone's
stretch sprint carried him to a 10-
yard victory over Nachoney, with R.
W. Hills of Michigan State in third
place, 30 yards behind the winner.

Mitchell Says
Former Attorney General
Criticizes Impeding Of
Constitutionality Tests
Roosevelt Regime
Called Tyrannical
Political Appointments Of
Judges Are Described
As 'Appalling'
By RALPH W. HURD1
The Roosevelt administration was
assailed last night as "tyrannical"
in its policy of deliberately obstruct-
ing tests of the constitutionality of
New Deal legislation by former United
States Attorney-General William D.
Mitchell in his address at the Found-
er's Day dinner in the Lawyers' Club.
A capacity attendance at the din-
ner, including the University Re-
gents and justices of the State Su-
preme Court heard Mr. Mitchell de-
scribe as "appalling" even the pos-
sibility of appointments of Supreme
Court or lower court judges on a
"political" basis.

Honorary degrees of Master of
Laws were conferred upon Tho-
mas F. McDonald, '17L, president
of the St. Louis Bar Association
and Oscar C. Hull, '13L, Detroit,
former president of the Michigan
State Bar Association, at a Uni-
versity convocation yesterday
morning.
He called upon the entire legal pro-
fession "militantly and vigilantly" to
insure high standards of "judgment,
character and judicial temperament"
and to prevent "political packing" of
judicial benches.
In its obstruction of Supreme Court
review, according to Mr. Mitchell, the
Administration has not only failed
to cooperate in submitting its legis-
lation for tests, but it has expended
the "utmost effort" to criticize any-
one who even questioned the validity
of these acts.
Mr. Mitchell does not believe it an
offense for congressmen to approve
of legislation, the constitutionality of
which is doubtful, but holds it "the
worst sort of tyranny" to impede the
testing of such legislation by the
Supreme Court.
He pointed to President Roosevelt's

W.A.A.'s Ninth
Penny Carnival
Opens Tonigrht
Appropriate Excess Profit
For Proposed Women's
Swimming Pool
Offering a variety of entertainment,
the ninth annual Penny Carnival will
open its doors from 8 p.m. to mid-
night today at Barbour and Water-
man Gymnasiums under the sponsor-

ship of the Women's Athletic Associa-
tion.
Jean Gourlay, '37, as vice-president
of the W.A.A., is general chairman of
the carnival. She is assisted by the
following committee heads and their
committees: Katherine Buckley, '38,
booth committee; Janet Lambert, '37,
entertainment committee; Dorothy
Shappell, '36, finance committee;
Betty Whitney, '38, dance committee;
Frances Everhard, '38, hostess com-
mittee; and Betsey Anderson, '38,
publicity committee,
The proceeds of the carnival will
support the projects of the W.A.A.
for the coming year. Because all
profits in excess of the necessary
amount will be appropriated for the
proposed women's swimming pool, a
special drive is being conducted to
make this year's carnival a financial
success.

Law Foundation Speaker
Says New Deal Contrary
To U.S. Theories
The time for again amending the
Constitution of the United States has
not yet arrived, William DeWitt
Mitchell, Democratic attorney-gen-
eral under a Republican administra-
tion, declared yesterday in an inter-
view.
Mr. Mitchell, who arrived here yes-
terday from New York City to ad-
dress the Founder's Day banquet in
the Law School and who was so-
licitor-general under President Cool-
idge, despite the fact that he is an
"old line Democrat," asserted that
the Constitution "should not be
changed in times of stress.
"If the Constitution is to be
changed," he said, "you should wait
until the smoke clears and you can

view the situation clearly and ra-
tionally."
But Mr. Mitchell does not think
that even when the smoke does clear
away in this instance, the highest
law should be amended. "I see no
proposal for an amendment that I
favor," he explained, "and I do not
think our form of government at
this time should be altered."
He said that the Supreme Court,
in its adverse decisions on Roosevelt
legislation, "has said that the phil-
osophy of the New Deal is not in
harmony with the fundamental phil-
osophy of our American democracy."
"The philosophy of the New Deal,"
he continued, "is one of centralized
control of regulation. It is unde-
niable that many problems are not
handled adequately by the states. But
I believe the effects of taking away
local control and giving it to the Fed-
eral government would be, in the long
run, worse than the benefits."
The future of labor legislation,
under the Constitution as it now
stands, Mr. Mitchell predicts, will be
largely influenced by the Supreme
Court's expected decision on the Guf-
fey Coal Act. As to child labor, he
agrees that nearly everyone is op-
posed to it but, like Nicholas Murray
Butler, he is afraid that ratification
of the Child Labor Amendment, now
a decade before the states, would "put
into the hands of a lot of Washington
bureaucrats the power to dictate to
parents what they should do with

their children."'

$300,000 Union Housing
Addition, To Be Finished
By September, Is Planned

Plan Annex To Alleviate
Present Lack Of Rooms
For Men Students
Union Will Borrow
Necessary Capital
New Addition May Be First
Step Towards Building
University Dormitories
By RICHARD G. HERSHEY
An addition to the Union, termed
the "first step" toward University
men's dormitories and costing ap-
proximately $300,000, will be con-
structed in the near future, Stanley
Walz, manager of the Union, an-
nounced yesterday following a meet-
ing of the Board of Regents.
The Board, which owns the present
Union building, gave sanction to the
borrowing of the necessary $300,000
for the annex, which it is hoped will
be completedxin time for occupancy
in the fall.
As now planned, the addition will
include 109 double and single rooms,
housing about 150 people. These ac-
comodations will alleviate partially
the present Ann Arbor scarcity of
rooms for men students, and the
rooms will be intended primarily for
young faculty men and students.
Available For Alumni
Walz stated that only about two
thirds of the proposed accomodations
would be used for permanent student
and faculty rooms, however. The re-
mainder will be available for the use
of alumni and other guests on foot-
ball week-ends, conventions and other
state or national meetings here dur-
ing the year.
Between $30 and $35 per month
will be charged for the student
rooms, according to the present plans,
Walz said. "In looking ahead, per-
haps five or ten years," he said, "this
new addition to the Union may be
the first step toward the building of
a University dormitory proper. There
is little doubt that the annex will
alleviate the present rooming sit-
uation a great deal."
The annex will start on the ex-
treme south wing of the Union, where
the Union offices are now, and run
directly west for about 200 feet. It
will turn directly south, and run di-
rectly behind the Sigma Chi and Al-
pha Delta Phi houses to Madison
street for about 120 feet. The first-
floor Union dinning room will be
connected with the annex at the
junction of its two wings by a two-
story structure with private dining
rooms on either side of a corridor.
Four Stories High
The arnex, Walz said, probably will
be four stories high, and, it is hoped,
will be ready for occupancy early in
the fall. No plans have been sub-
mitted and no architects have been
selected yet but all the rooms will be
outside rooms.
Several gifts were received by the
Regents in their April meeting yes-
terday. From the President's Birth-
day Ball Commission, $100 was re-
ceived for the Infantile Research
Fund to be directed by Dr. Max Peet.
William Kales, Detroit, con-
tributed $750 for the purchase of a
new 16-inch off-axis mirror for the
Lare Angelus solar tower. From the
Aaron Mendelson estate $1,000 was
received to be used in research in
tissue immunity. The Museum of
Paleontology was given the remainder
of the library and collections of Dr.
Carl Rominger by Miss Marie Rom-
inger and Mark Covill, of Ann Ar-
bor.
Three thousand five hundred dol-
lars were accepted by the Board to be
used for chemical research on phe-
nolphthalein to be directed by Dr.
Frederick Blicke. The donors of the
money were the Monsanto Chemical
Co., St. Louis, Mo., and the Charles
Pfizer Co., New York.

Duties

Dr. Rudolph A. Winnacker of the
history department, authority on the
period of the French Revolution, an-
nounced last night that he will re-
sign from the faculty here at the end
of the semester to take a position
at the University of Nebraska. I
The resignation of Dr. Winnacker,
who is one of the most popular of
the younger faculty members here,
came as a surprise, no hint of it
having been mentioned before.
Dr. Winnacker will teach courses
in the history of the French Revolu-
tion and in modern European his-
tory at Nebraska. The recent death
of Professor Sling of the Nebraska
history department, an authority on
French history, made an opening for
him, he said. At Neoraska, Dr. Win-
nacker will have access to Professor
Sling's collection on the French rev-
olution, one of the best in the coun-
try.
Dr. Winnacker came to the Univer-
sity in 1931, after having studied for
two years at the Bibliotheque Na-
tionale in Paris. He received his
Ph.D. degree from Harvard in 1933,
while still a member of the faculty
here.
