Starhernberg Says 'World

Austria Will Be Loyal To
Her 'Protector'
VIENNA, May 14. - () - An open
conflict between the government of
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg and
the Heimwehr, private army of
Prince Ernst Von Starhemberg, oust-
ed suddenly as Austria's Vice Chan-
cellor and "semi-dictator," was a
possibility tonight.
"The real contest is just starting,"
the deposed Vice-Chancellor assert-
ed as he left to attend a sports event
in Rome.
"All my life I have been a fighter
and Austria soon will see I am not
licked now. When I said recently
my Heimwehr would be pushed out
of 'the picture only over my dead
body I meant just that.
"In about a week the world will
hear from the Heimwehr."
A large .crowd saluted the Prince
at the railroad station with cheers
and songs.
At the same time a more demo-
cratic trend, one away from fascism,
was indicated by Schuschnigg's new
government - a trend directly con-
trary to the fascist Heimwehr prin-
ciples.
A source close to the government
said that Chancellor Schuschnigg
and Franz von Papen, German Min-
ister to Austria, discussed at length
today the possibilities of improving
the embittered relations between
Germany and Austria.
This source said one German con-
dition for a rapprochment was the
ousting of Nazi-hating von Starhem-
berg from the cabinet and that with
his departure a major obstacle had
been removed.
The Heimwehr spokesman said it
would drive relentlessly toward its
goal despite von Stahremberg's ex-
pulsion from the government.
"Within a few days the world will
lnow what von Stahremberg meant
when he said the Heimwehr, which
twice saved the independence of Aus-
tria, will be shorn of its influence

Five Escaped

McALESTER, Okla., May 14--(/P)
-Five desperate convicts, slayers of
a prison foreman, sped through the
rugged Kiamichi Mountain country
tonight with two prison guards and
a 20-year-old farmer held as host-
ages in their flight from the State
penitentiary.
One of the guards and one of the
fleeing desperadoes were believed
suffering from gunshot wounds.
The quintet and three other con-
victs, who fled in separate directions
were all who remained at large after
yesterday's bloody break of 24 in-
mates from the penitentiary brick
yard where the "dangerous" prison-
ers are kept.

Latest Scientific Means
Of Protection
By E. BRYCE ALPERN
Precautions taken to protect sci-
entists from the deadly beams of
neutrons shot out at tremendous
velocities by cyclotrons were de-
scribed yesterday by Prof. Fred
Hodges, head of the Department of
Roentgenology at the University Hos-
pital, who has recently returned from
the University of California from an
examination of the original cyclo-
tron, science's "Big Bertha," and a
conference with its inventor, Prof.
E. O. Lawrence.
He emphasized that these precau-
tions will be taken in the 12 mil-
lion volt cyclotron, the largest in the
world, which is now being con-
structed by University physicists in

rays and those which are being tak-
en against neutron beams was
stressed by Professor Hodges, as he
spoke of the many injuries, both
permanent and temporary, which
were inflicted upon early investigat-
ors by x-rays when they were first
discovered. He pointed out that
from, the knowledge gleaned from
x-rays, which opened a whole new
field of physics, enough experience
has been obtained that such havoc
as x-rays inflicted at first will prob-
ably not be repeated during the early
investigations with neutron beams.
"Exposure to neutron rays for
only a short time produces such a
violent motion of the lighter atoms
of the body that serious injuries may
be incurred." Radiations, both x-
rays and those from radium are
known to destroy living tissues, and
to produce profound changes in
blood, he explained, and similarity of
these rays to neutron beams indi-
cates that such effects will result
from exposure to these rays.
Although the main means of pro-
tecting the opera'tor from x-rays con-
sists of building a two to three-foot
wall of concrete around the x-ray
tube, or surrounding it by a three
or four inch thick sheet of lead, the
two main methods of protecting sci-
entists from the lethal neutron rays
are surrounding the cyclotron with a
thick wall of water or paraffin, and
placing the operating board as far.
as possible from the machine. Dis-
tance appears to be the most effec-
tive protection.
"These neutron rays produce 10
times the reaction upon human cells
that x-rays do," Professor Hodges
asserted. For this reason it is of

For Convention
School Physicians, Nurses
And Dentists Take Part
In Two-DayProgram
A School Health Education Insti-
tute, in cooperation with the Michi-
gan Association of School Physicians,
will open a two-day convention here
today.
The program of the Institute has
been designed primarily for school
physicians, dentists and nurses par-
ticipating in school health programs.
According to those in charge, the
purpose of the convention is to give
the school health workers oftMich-
igan "practical assistance in the so-
lution of problems which are their
immediate concern."
After registering in the West Med-
ical Building this morning, members
will hear talks by Dr. J. D. Bruce,
director of the postgraduate medi-
cine department, and Dr. John Sund-
wall, director of the hygiene divi-
sion. At the second morning ses-
sion, Dr. George T. Palmer of New
York City will speak on The Role of
the School Health Education Direc-
tor.
Following the luncheon and busi-
ness meeting this noon, sessions will
continue through the afternoon. Mr.
L. H. Lamb, superintendent of Flint
,schools, will give the first talk on
what the superintendent of schools
should expect of the school health
worker. A state program of school
health education will be discussed
by Dr. Lee M. Thurston, deputy sup-
erintendent of public instruction, at
the next session.
Other afternoon talks will be given
by Dr. O. R. Yoder of the Ypsilanti
State Hospital who will speak on
mental hygiene in the school health
program, and Dr. Mabel E. Rugen of
the University physical education
department will discuss techniques
in school health education.
All sessions of the Institute will be
held in the west amphitheatre of the
Medical Building, and sessions will
continue all day tomorrow.

Tradition
Restored
Ceremony Will Take Place
For First Time In Four
Years, Dixon Announces
Will Be Combined
With Senior Sing
14 Honor Societies Pledge
That Orderly Conduct Is
To Prevail
By JOSEPH S. MATTES
Revival of Michigan's traditional
Swingout was virtually assured yes-
terday after the petition of a student
committee headed by Robert E. Mer-
rill, '36E, was approved tentatively
by the Senate Committee on Student
Affairs, William R. Dixon, '36, pres-
ident of the Men's Council, announced
last night.
This year's Swingout, the first in
four years, will be combined with the
traditional Senior Sing.
"It is the opinion of the commit-
,tee," the petition read, "that a cere-
mony as impressive as formerly can
be obtained by combining Swingout
with another Michigan tradition now
dead - the Senior Sing, which will
supplant the President's address in
Hill Auditorium."
Included in the petition was a pro-
vision that disorderliness, which led
to the abolition of Swingout, would
be eliminated by 14 University lonor
societies. Although none of the so-
cieties had yet agreed to comply with
the provision, Dixon was confident
that their approval would be obtained
within a few days.
Tentative plans call for the march
around the campus to begin at 4:30
p.m., May 26. After circling the cam-
pus, the procession will return to a
central point, probably the General
Library, where Swingout will end and
the Senior Sing begin.
The honor societies whose approval
is necessary for the definite assur-
ance of Swingout are: Michigamua,
Druids, Galens, Vulcans, Mortarboard,
Senior Society, Omicron Kappa Up-
silon (Dental), Barristers (Law), Tau
Sigma Delta (Architecture), Beta
Gamma Sigma (Business Administra-
tion), and Phi Kappa Delta (Educa-
tion). Dixon had not yet contacted
honor societies of the music school,
the forestry school and the nursing
school, which will also be asked to
maintain orderliness.
On the committee in charge of ar-.
rangements, Dixon appointed the
former-presidents and presidents of
these honor societies.
They are John A. Cawley, William
R. Reed, John B. Wood, Frank A.
Denison, Grace I. Bartling, Eleanor
J. Johnson, Leonard F. Klausmeyer,
Erle A. Kightlinger, Robert L. Morris,
Garrett C. Van de Riet, and Keith
C. Lance.
Presidents of honor societies in the
forestry school, the music school and
the nursing school, Dixon and Win-
ifred Bell, '36, will also serve on this
committee.
In the petition it was stated that

Mussolini told 308 shouting, black-

proclamation is "irrevocable."
The deputies, cheering as they vot-
ed, unanimously ratified the new
empire decree announced Saturday
by Il Duce. It annexes Ethiopia and
makes Marshal Pietro Badoglio vic-

Count Costanzo Ciano, president
of the Chamber, concluded the ses-

Amid the boos and hisses of a

The speakers for Sigma Rho Tau
who upheld the affirmative of the

fer engineers" were in order: William
Donovan, Bruce Rohn and Robert
Cousins; for the negative: Paul Von
Bergen, John Bigelow, Karl Nelson.
The affirmative, fortified by charts
and statistics maintained that: 1. Co-
eds preferred manly men; 2. Their
statistics showed 59 percent of the
co-eds asked said engineers were

The results of the experiment con-
