More than 25 students last night
volunteered assistance to the Peace
Bond Committee of the University
Peace Council, which is to begin the
sale of Peace Bonds in Ann Arbor
Thursday morning.
Citing the effort as a "concrete ef-
fort to prevent war," Prof. Walter C
Sadler of the engineering college,
president of the Ann Arbor Common
Council, yesterday lent his endorse-
ment to the movement.
Practical Views Used {
"The proposed sale of Peace Bonds
by the Michigan Peace Council is
part of a concrete effort to prevent
war," he said. "Unlike many similar
movements the Michigan Peace Coun-
cil is approaching the problem from
a practical point of view. Others have
failed in the past because their sole
approach toward a solution rested
upon complete disarmament with no
regard for practical considerations
of the situation. The causes of war
apparently lie in the peculiarities of
human nature, and armament is a
mere means of a defective society to
solve an international difficulty;
,"The direction of the present move-
ment is against the causes of war, so
weakening the power of international
diplomats that the sparks of confla-
gration will be stamped out at the
start, or their effects minimized. It is
a pleasure to learn of efforts being di-
rected at fundamentals, rather than
merely destroying the defensive arms
of the country.
3 Types Issued
The bonds are to be issued in de-
nominations of $1, $5 and $10. Each
bond has three coupons attached to
it. The first coupon provides that
thirty cents from the amount of the
bond will pay for a year's subscription
to "Peace Action," a monthly maga-
zine issued in Washington, D.C. The
second coupon provides that 40 per
cent of the amount of the bond be
given to some organization specified
by the subscriber, and the local Peace
Council is planning to give its share
of money thus gained to the Emer-
gency Peace Campaign, which is
sending youths to camps this summer
to be informed on the subject of
peace, and subsequently to circulate
in rural areas, organizing peace senti-
ments.
The third coupon provides oppor-
tunity for a peace poll on important
issues after the manner of the recent
British peace poll. It asks the fol-
lowing questions: 1) Should we pro-
hibit the private manufacture of mu-

Sing Will Give
2 Loving Cups
Two loving cups, one for attend-
ance computed on a percentage basis
and one for the finest melody, will
be awarded to fraternities at the sec-
ond annual Interfraternity Sing in
front of the General Library at 7 p.m.,
Friday, May 15, it was announced last
night, by Robert E. Merrill, '36E,
chairman of the Interfraternity Coun-
cil Sing Committee.
Each fraternity will sing one fra-
ternity song and one Michigan song.
There will be group singing, Merrill
said, probably upon completion of
the fraternity competition.
The melody of the Rraternities will
be judged by Dean Joseph A. Bursley,
Prof. David E. Mattern and Prof.
E. William Doty, both of the School
of Music.
In developing the Interfraternity
Sing as a tradition here Michigan
fraternities are following similar
movements of Wabash University and
the University of Chicago, both of
which have proved highly successful,
Merrill said.

department declared yesterday in an
interview.
The success in the election of the
left wing united Popular Front-Radi-
cal Socialists, Socialists and Com-
munists -has been hailed as a great
victory for the left. But Dr. Hene-
man believes it is a "qualified vic-
tory." This is so, he said, "because
it will be a miracle if these leftists
parties can get together to support
permenantly a government. They
have united for electoral purposes
against a common enemy - fascism.
But the question now is, can they
unite in the chamber of deputies to
support a positive program of action?
History indicates they cannot."
There is a great difference between
a right wing Radical Socialist, who
is but a mild liberal, Dr. Heneman
explained, and a left wing Commu-
nist, who is openly affiliated with the
Third Internationale. And in be-
tween these extremes of the leftists,
he continued, are the left wing Radi-
cal Socialists, right wing Socialists,
tion long held by the more conserva-
tive Radical Socialists. The Com-
munists now have 81 seats, a total
which Dr. Heneman pointed out sur-
passes anything like what Commun-
ist leaders dared hope for. And since
310 votes are needed for a majority
and thus for support of a govern-
ment, Dr. Heneman is of the opinion
that no one party of the Left can
withdraw its support without the fall
of a cabinet.
"It is doubtful," he declared, "if
the Communists will allow any of
their members to participate in a
cabinet. Premier Albert Sarraut,
Radical Socialist head of the govern-
ment, will probably resign before
Parliament convens in June, and if
a government is to be formed at all,
the Communist support is necessary."
Dr. Heneman pointed to Leon Blum,
head of the Socialist party, and Ed-
uard Deladier, left wing Radical So-
cialist and former premier, as logical

Gov. Alf M. Landon's chances for

Although delegates favorable to
governor Landon were listed on the

they had pledged themselves to his
support as long as he was conceded
a chance for nomination.
In early returns from 592 of South

Is Opened With 9-0 Win;
Kalii Easily" Victorious
By CARL GERSTACKER
Michigan's Varsity netters opened
the local tennis season yesterday with
a smashing 9-0 victory over an out-
classed but valiant Michigan State
Normal team at the Ferry Field courts,
with the loss of only one set.
.Capt. Howie Kahn, unhampered
by the cold blasts that usually sweep
the courts, played a cool, heady game
to polish off his opponent, Anthony
Sargenti in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2.
Kahn, although bothered by a rac-
cruet to which he is unaccustomed,
showed flashes of very fine tennis
and had the situation well in hand
thrnoughout the match.
Miller Sherwood, who is rapidly
earning the title of the "old faith-
ful" of the team romped to an easy
win over James Richards of the Ypsi-
lanti team, 6-0, 6-1. Sherwood was
never extended during the match
and had little chance to demonstrate
the brand of tennis of which he is
capable.
Ted Thorward and Jesse Flick,
moved up to the number three and
four positions respectively, also won in
straight sets over Romine Minard
and Edward Bernard although Flick
was extended in the first set whichi
he finally won, 8-6.

A fire of undetermined origin
this morning swept through the
M Hut, Myron T. Slater's College
Bookstore, the Powder Puff
Beauty Parlor and vacant apart-
ments immediate'ly above the Hut
causing unestimated damages.
The fire, discovered at 12:45
a.m. by a passerby who noticed
the smoke-filled front windows
of the Hut, was believed to have
started between the partition sep-
arating the Hut from the book-
store and beneath the stairway
leading upstairs between the two
establishments.
Both C. J. Fingerle and Myron
Slator, owners of the respective
stores could not give an estimate
of the damages but stated that
they were covered by insurance.
The fire did not penetrate the
walls of the bookstore but water
from the fire hoses and smoke
filled the store causing damage
unofficially estimated at $1,000.
Local police officers expressed
the belief that the fire may have
started either from faulty wiring
or from the furnace room of the
College Bookstore.
The fire was well under con-
trol by 1:45 a.m.

Members On Progran
Almost 350 registrations for high
school delegates to the twelfth an-
nual Michigan Interscholastic Press
Ass6ciation have already been re-
ceived for an all-time high enroll-
ment, it was announced yesterday by
the journalism department, which is
sponsoring the convention.
The three-day meeting, which will
bring to Ann Arbor high school stu-
dents from throughout the state for
discussions, lectures, and conferences
on the problems of publishing school,
papers, magazines, and annuals, will
open with a general assembly and re-
ception tomorrow night at the Union,
followed by a trip through the Stu-
dent Publications Bldg., and will close
with a luncheon Saturday noon.
While on the campus the delegates
will be housed by fraternities, sorori-
ties, and other parties who have of-
fered to help the journalism depart-
ment.
The unprecedented enrollment has
created a shortage of room accom-
modations for the delegates, and the
University has joined the journalism
department in asking that any fra-
ternity, sorority, or private citizen
with extra room at their disposal be
generous enough to offer it to the
MIPA for the short stay here by
calling the department office in
Haven Hall.
Prominent speakers will address
four general assemblies during the
sessions, and authorities in special
fields will head 26 round-table discus-
sion on topics of interest to the high
school journalists. In addition there
will be a banquet and dance at the
League Friday night, the Saturday
noon luncheon, and three University
athletic events in the afternoon to
which the delegates will be admitted
free of charge.
The opening address, "Let's Try
Intelligence," will be given by Prof.
John L. Brumm, chairman of the
journalism department, Thursday
night in the Union ballroom, and at
9 a.m. Friday a general assembly will
be addressed by Prof. Preston W.
Slosson of the history department on
"The High School and the World
Outside.',
A general assembly at 1:30 p.m. will

A dusty, motorized column of Fas-
ist troops clattered into the Ethi-
pian capital Tuesday afternoon to
nd the trail of conquest they began
o hew only seven months ago.
The arrival brought relief to thou-
ands of foreigners. They had been

The American legation, which had

All Italy joined in delirious celebra-

retreat parade to be given by the R.O.-
T.C, unit at 5 p.m. May 15 on Palmer

R.O.T.C. band, the complete unit of
650 men will give one of their week-

for thegstudents, returning alumni
and other guests of the University for
the Spring Homecoming.
Plans for the Homecoming have
been practically completed, John C.

climax of the week-end will be the
reception for faculty, students, home-
coming guests and May Festival ar-
tists to be held from 4 to 6 p.m.
in the League, May 16.
The Central Committee refused to
interfere with county controversies
which developed in recent county

the naming of a number of split del-

Grand Rapids.
The next meeting of the Student

NYA Workers Reecive Praise

The value of NYA workers as skilled
mechanics and artisans was pointed
out yesterday by Paul Wiers, grad-
uate fellow in sociology, in connec-
tion with his discussion of the highly
specialized statistical work being car-
ried on under his direction in the lab-
oratory in Haven Hall.
The mechanical work which has
anteceded the task of sorting thou-
sands of case-cards to assist in a

One student working at a machine

than is obtained with ordinary com--
puting machines. The "tin cans" are
used largely in connection with two
NYA-sponsored projects, the study of
juvenile delinquency and an analysis
of the diffusion of cultural traits in
all the states of the nation. The
purpose of the former, according to
Wiers, is the comparison of the per-
capita rates of juvenile delinquency in
the various counties of the state in an

The first of a type of "fool proof"
planes, the Hammond Y-1, developed
by D. B. Hammond, '30E, of the
Hammond Aircraft Co. of Ypsilanti
has been delivered to the Department
of Commerce. Fourteen more of the
planes are under construction and
will be purchased by the government
to be used by department inspectors.
The ship is a monoplane with the
fuselage above the wing and is of the
pusher type. It is held in a level po-
sition all the time it is on the ground
by the wheels, one of which is at the

over 100 miles an hour but consumes1
no more gasoline than a low-priced
autonobile. It is able to take off
at 40 miles an hour after a run of
slightly more than 200 feet and is;
able to land and come to a stop in
less than 100 feet.
The small landing space is made
possible by the steep angle at which
the plane is able to glide to a landing
and because of the way it levels off
regardless of which of the three
wheels hits the ground first.
The rate of descent of the plane
has been compared to the rate at
