THE MICHIGAN DAILY House Adopts Bill To Guard U.S. Neutrality Measure Sent To Senate But No Action Expected Until Tomorrow WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. - (A) - A stop-gap resolution designed to guard America's neutrality until May 1, 137, was adopted today by the House and sent to the Senate. The vote of approval, announced by Speaker Joseph W. Byrns, was 353 to 27. The measure already was under consideration in the Senate, but with the understanding that no action would be taken before tomorrow. The resolution shot through under suspension of the rules, condemned by opposition as "gag procedure." With debate limited to 40 minutes and all amendments barred, House members advocating a more drastic measure had no chance to press a fight for chan'ges, nor could they command the votes to shunt the res- olution aside. A two-thirds vote was required for adoption. The measure would extend from Feb. 29 to May 1, 1937, an expiring provision in the present neutrality law for mandatory embargoes on sale or transportation of arms, munitions or war implements to any warring nation. To the existing act, it would add, however, a ban on the granting of loans or credits to belligerents in ex- cess of those needed for ordinary peacetime business. And in recogni- tion of the Monroe Doctrine, it would make the law inapplicable to any Latin-American nation at war with a non-American country. A brisk battle apparently lay ahead in the Senate, where a bloc led by Gerald P. Nye, (Rep., N. D.), chair- man of the Munitions Committee, was ready to attempt to make the exten- sion of the embargoes effective only for 60 days, so that Congress would have to work out a more permanent solution for the neutrality problem this session. Earlier, Rep. Pittman, (Dem., Nev.) chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, had brought the abridged neutrality plan up in the Senate. When Senator Charles L. McNary, the Republican leader, protested against unusual speed, it was agreed not to take any action until tomorrow. Josef Israels To Speak Here On Italian War To Illustrate 'Ethiopia's Death Struggle' With Movies And Slides Josef Israels, New York Times cor- respondent and Pathe News repre- sentative in Ethiopia, who has re- cently returned from that country for a short lecture tour of America, will speak at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday in Hill Auditorium under the auspices of the University Oratorical Associa- tion. Mr. Israels has entitled his address "Ethiopia's Death Struggle," and the talk will be illustrated by moving pictures and slides. Described in the February issue of Fortune magazine as a "novelist, press agent for Al Smith and son of the late Belle Moskowitz (guide and mentor to Mr. Smith) ", Mr. Israels left for Ethiopia last spring. It was his second trip to that coun- try, Mr. Israels having visited Ethi- opia in 1929 when he became inti- mately acquainted with Emperor Haile Selassie. Mr. Israels read the Emperor's speech which was broadcasted in this country several months ago. Upon his return to America, Mr. Israels spoke in New York on the Ethiopian problem, and his address received wide - spread attention throughout the country. He has been associated closely in his work as a war correspondent with William Stonepan, formerly a member of the Michigan Daily staff, who now repre- sents the Chicago Daily News. Mr. Israels is only 26 years old, but! has already attained a national rep- utation both as a foreign correspon- dent and as a feature writer for the New York Tlimes. Notably sympa- thetic with the Ethiopian cause, his address should prove timely and au- thoritative to patrons of the Ora- torical Lecture course. Individual tickets for the lecture, priced at 35 cents, may be obtained at Wahr's State street bookstore to- day, or at the Hill Auditorium box office tomorrow.

"If all this talk continues," said Louis B. Mayer, head of Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer, "perhaps we will find it profitable to make the picture at once. '. He referred to the stir of public comment that cametwith an assertion of Sinclair Lewis that his political novel of an American dictatorship had been banned from the screen by Will Hays, "czar" of organized movie producers. Mayer, whose studio holds the script of the novel, insisted Hays had made no such order. The story is on the shelf, he admitted, but purely "for financial reasons." "It would cost too much to pro- duce," he explained. Hays refused to talk about the Lewis statement. However, E. J. Mannix, M-G-M general manager, and the "czar" had approved the script Friday before he left here for New York. Lewis insisted his novel had been banned from the screen because it might bring "international compli- cations," and might "offend Hitler and Mussolini." To this statement film magnates pointed to several poltiical films of recent years to show that political implications in a story would not be sufficient reason to keep it out of production.

MOSES GOMBERG Many Friends Attend Party For Gomberg The seventieth birthday of Prof. Moses Gomberg, who retired Friday as head of the chemistry depart- ment, was commemorated on Feb. 8 by 275 of his friends at a dinner in the Union. Attending were many former stu- dents of Professor Gomberg as well as associates from the University fac- ulty and prominent alumni from var- ious sections of the country. In honoring his character and service they presented him with a bound vol- ume of birthday greetings, estab- lished a scholarship in his name, and gave the chemistry department a large portrait of the man who had taught there for 43 years. The volume of birthday greetings, which came from alumni and friends as spontaneous expressions of good- will, was officially presented by Lewis E. Lloyd of Ann Arbor on behalf of Phi Lambda Epsilon, honorary chem- ical society. Bound in red morocco, it carried the name, Moses Gomberg, and the date on the cover page. The scholarship fund, likewise un- solicited, will be used, in accordance with Professor Gomberg's wish, to as- sst outstandingundergraduate stu- dents of chemistry who need financial help, and will be administered by an executive board. Announced in a letter to President Alexander G. Ruthven, the fund at present amounts to $5,000. It is expected that further donations will follow as Pro- fessor Gomberg's friends learn of the project. Report Shows Sidgit Increase In Sick Cases Fifty more patients were sent to the University Hospital from July to January, 1935, than for the same pe- riod in 1934, it was disclosed by the monthly report of the Health Service issued yesterday by Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of the Health Serv- ice. "The outstanding condition," Dr. Forsythe said, "was 50 per cent more acute appendicitis than last year, fairly well distributed." The reports for December and Jan- uary were combined because of the vacation period. They revealed 21 cases of acute appendicitis for the two-month period. Seven cases of pneumonia, seven of contagious dis- eases, and 1,672 "colds" were treated. Neither January nor December were unusual months in the number or kind of cases treated, Dr. Forsythe said. Student health was good and the volume of services were about the same as for recent years. WITHOUT REFILLING! A GENUINE EVERSHARPI Holds 4-inch Square Lead! Red Spot shows when to refill!
