XLVII No. 13 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, OCT. 11, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENTS F.D.R. Frames Fourfold Plan For American farm Problem Endorses George Norris For Senatorial Position In Address In Omaha Says G.O.P. Would Wreck Agriculture His Policy Includes Soil Conservation, Attacking 'Evils Of Farm Tenancy OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 10.-(P)-Ad- vancing a four-point program of his own for future assistance to agri- culture, President Roosevelt told the nation tonight that the "Republican leadership" had props sed a farm plan to cost possibly $2,000,000,000 annually, "not to save agriculture but to wreck it." Speaking to an audience packed into the Ak-Sar-Ben coliseum, the President led off with an open en- dorsement of Veteran George W. Norris, Republican, who is an inde- pendent candidates for the Senate this. year. "Help this great American to con- tinue an historic career of service," Mr. Roosevelt asked. Lists Four Policies The long-time policy of the Admin- istration, he said, includes: 1. Conservation against land. wastage and soil impoverishment. 2. Seeking to increase purchasing power so that people can pay for more and better food, thereby pro- viding a "larger and larger domestic market for the farmer." 3. Attacking the "evil of farm tenancy," 4. Giving' the farmer "a sound plan of crop insurance in kind against etreme fluctuations of supply and , price." In advocatng the Senator's re-) election, the President told the col- I iseum audience he was making, and so long as Norris lived, would con-1 tinue to make, "one magnificently justified exception" to his rule of non- participation in elections of states other than his own New York. I Farm Aids "George Norris' candidacy," he1 said, "transcends state . and party lines. In our national history we have had few elder statesmen who like him have preserved the aspira- tions of youth as they accumulate the' wisdom of years." Turning to the farm problems, the President said that for the first time' in "many cruel years we are getting the problem of the business of farm- ing well in hand." He said his own seven-sentence record of aid to farmers could be ex- panded by every man and woman on a farm "in terms of the recovery that has come to each of them in the last three and a half years."7 Looking At Record This was the record outlined: 1. Raised farmers' net annual in- come by $3,500,000,000. 2. Saved thousands of homes and' farms from foreclosure and reduced farmers' debts. 3. Started recovering the farmers'' foreign markets. 4. Restored national income anda prepared for a steady, longtime ex-' pansion of the farmers' home market. 5. Ended a policy of immediate glut and eventual waste and laid the basis for permanent plenty. 6. Begun to get the farmer a fair share in comforts, advantages, wider interests and deeper satisfaction "which go to make the good life for himself and for his children." 7. Rushed immediate and directj relief to farmers and stockmen struck' by drought. Airliner Reported Crashed In Mexico MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10.-0P)--A Pan-American Airways (Douglas) airliner with a crew of four, includ- ing three Americans, was reported to have crashed today near Guatemala City. Word of the mishap reached the Company's offices here this evening. Piloting the ship was Capt. A. Pas- chal, of Brownsville, Texas. Other Americans aboard were Co-Pilot A. L. Palmer and Radio Operator W. P. Neyman. Company officials said the Guate- mala National Telegraphs reported the ship, which took off from San 'Fighting Hundred' Displays Brilliant March Formations Michigan is still undefeated! Probably not when it comes to foot- ball but the Michigan Band, with a brilliant display of marching proved the fast-growing conviction that it is the best marching band in the coun- try. Having the field all to themselves during the halves, the band could show off its wares. Thus the band performed the difficult feat of a "Knock-knock" in perfect forma- tion. With the aid of the amplifier and an announcer, the dialogue cor- responded to "Knock, knock. Who's there? Anna. Anna who? In- diana." The band spelled out Anna and Indiana while playing the "Vic- tors." Then, too, in accordance with the 25th anniversary of "Varsity" the band, played a novel arrangement of the tune written by Director William D. Revelli. Starting out with form- ing a huge "1911," the date of the composition of the piece,, the band began "Varsity" intermingled with the tune of "Long, Long Ago." Next the band spelled out "1921," still playing the new arrangement of the Varsity with the tune "Memories." For 1931 the composition switched to "Silver Threads Among the Gold" with the background of "Varsity." And to climax the performance "Auld Lang Syne" represented the present as the band formed "1936," with the "Varsity" being played in maestoso style. Forming a huge "M" block the band completed one of the greatest exhibitions of marching ever seen on a football field. Only One Cult Case Remains; Four Sentenced DETROIT. Oct. 10.-(P-Twelve men were under sentence today, six months after the Black Legion 'exe- cution" of Charles A. Poole, to serve prison terms on charges of murder. Remaining to be tried in the Poole case is John S. Mitchell, whose trial has been delayed by illness. The last four of 11 men convicted of murdering Poole, whose death uncovered the secret band of night riders in Michigan, were sentenced today by Circuit Judge Joseph A. Moynihan to minimum priso nterms ranging from 31/2 to 10 years. Judge Moynihan, who denounced the Black Legion's opposition to cer- tain religious and racial groups, and called Poole "a martyr to the cause of civil and religious liberties," ordered life prison terms for all but the four convicted of second degree murder. The prison terms given these four were: Thomas R..Craig, on parole on an election fraud charge; 10 to 20 years; Virgil Morrow, 5 to 15 years; Albert Stevens, 72 to 15 years and John S. Vincent, 66; oldest defendant, 3'/ to ten years. State witnesses testified Poole was killed after false gossip that he beat his wife, but every defendant at the trial asserted he thought the "night ride"on which Poole was taken last May 12 was to be "just a demonstra- French Riots Follow Tours By Radicals Dozens Injured, Arrested As Rightists Strike Back At Foes On Alsace Post Armed Guards Wolverine Who Is Hard To Stop Gains Again (Michigan Swamped By Indiana In Rain, '14-3, Before 21,000 At Strategic Spots Rank Of Anti-Communists Demonstrators At Metz Swelled By Peasants METZ, France, Oct. 10-.,)- Fierce rioting in Metz and isolated clashes in several points tonight ]marked the beginning of the Com- munist "propaganda tour" of Alsace- Lorraine. Numerous arrests were made and dozens of persons injured as the al- lied front of Rightists and Catholic peasants, demonstrating a n g r i I y against the Communists, clashed with police and steel-helmeted mobile guardsmen. Strong forces of mobile guards, with bayonets fixed, arrived at Stras- bourg this evening and were posted at strategic points in the city as reports circulated that Rightists, re- portedly including members of Col. Francois De La Rocque's outlawed "Croix De Feu," would attempt to occupy the meeting hall before the Communists move in tomorrow. The most serious clash occurred at Metz, where Communists succeeded in holding a meeting, but Rightists afterward stormed the hall, ripping red banners from the walls and burn-1 ed them in a huge bonfire in the public square. The ranks of anti-communist dem- onstrators at Metz swelled this eve-1 ning as peasants, armed with pitch- forks and scythes, moved into the city from surrounding districts. Authorities feared today's sporadic fighting was only a prelude to dis- orders tomorrow during the sched- uled Communist meetings, the prin- cipal one of which is to take place at Strasbour'g. Cries of "Down with Communism! " rang througl, the streets tonight in the wake of today's melee in which 10 persons were injured.

Franco Visits Fronts Before Madrid Attack Zero Hour Will Be Before Middle Of Week; May Be At Dawn Today BURGOS, Spain, Oct. 10.- (/P) -- Gen. Francisco Franco, supreme mil- itary leader of the Insurgents, toured his front lines tonight to decide when he would set the zero hour for the final Madrid attack. Some informed sources said the Generalissimo might give the attack order at dawn Sunday, but others believed Franco would wait for fur- ther consolidation of his troops, wound around three sides of Madrid. All were agreed, however, that the Madrid attack would be launched be- fore the middle of next week. High officers said the spearhead of the attack would be along the highway from San Martin Valdeigles- ias, West of Madrid, which joins the main Talaver-Madrid highway near Alcorcon, about 10 miles from the capital. The only natural defense along this route is the forest near the Alberche River, eight miles from San Martin. Franco, the military leaders said, personally will direct the attack, which would be supported by other columns under Gen. Emilio Mola, in command of the northern Fascist army. Earlier the Fascists announced their warplanes had blasted apart the only remaining railroad line from Madrid to the Southeast. The planes accomplished their mis- sion during a bombardment of Aran- juez, strategic city 29 miles southeast of Madrid. Dow Promises Lower Light, Power Rates Alex Dow, president of the Detroit Edison Corpany who last week ar- gued before the State Public Utilities. Commission against- lowering elec- tricity prices gave promise here yes- terday of a general overhauling and .reduction of rates. He addressed the University of Michigan Industrial Conference on Education and Re- search Friday night in the Union. Declaring that all he wanted was to be left alone and not forced into a reduction, Mr. Dow revealed that his company has for some time been working on a plan for lower rates. "And we hope to put them into effect very soon, too," he emphasized. Before the commission in Lansing, he cited as reasons why the Detroit Edison Company should not be com- pelled to reduce its schedule: High taxes with no promise of cessation; high cost of fuel, with~ the promise of going higher; the necessity of pay- ing more out in wages because of in- creased costs of living. A Landon supporter, he lashed at the New Deal's "extravagance" in his remarks before the commission. He refused, however, in Ann. Ar- Churches Plan Full Programs, CulturalTopics Rev.

Coughlin tonight re- iterated his assertion that President Roosevelt has "Communistic tenden- cies" and offered "as proof" the char- ter of a corporation which, he said, was formed in Delaware under New Deal auspices. Replying to an address by the Right Rev. John A. Ryan of the Catholic University, taking exception to Coughlin's criticisms of the New Deal. The Priest said that this corpora- tion's charter contained authority, to, "manage and maintain projects and structures of every kind, nature and description." In addition, he said, the charter empowered the corporation to "ac- quire, by purchose, exchange or other- wise, all or any part of, or any in- terest in the properties, assets, bus- iness, and good will of any one or more firms organized under the laws of Delaware." ". . . Though the New Deal ad- ministration has withdrawn this hid- den charter from the files of Dela- ware," he said, "the deed was done. Acquisition of private property by any means whatsoever wasrmani- fested as part of its program." In the course of his speech, de- livered by radio preliminary to an address before a Maryland rally of the National Uion for Social Jus- tice, )Father Coughlin referred to Monsignor Ryan as "the ecclesias- tical spokesman for the Democratic National Committee" and as "the Right Reverend New Dealer."

Dal Sasso Scores Everhardus Scores Only Wolverine Points With 25-Yard Place-Kick On Stanton Fumble Ihiffmans End Zone Pass To Kenderdine Results In Second, Touchdown By GEORGE J. ANDROS (Daily Sports Editor) A jubilant Indiana team,'its last year's defeat at the hands of Michi- gan completely avenged, trotted in- to its locker room last yesterday af- ternoon on the long end of a 14 to 3 score, as a slim crowd of 15,000 Wolverine supporters filed out of a rain-soaked Stadium asking itself one question: "Where do we go from here?" Prospects for a successful season sank to a low that has not been reached at this stage of the schedule in the last decade when Coach Harry Kipke's young Michigan team met its second disappointing defeat in tvdo starts. The Hoosiers, led by their triple- threat quarterback, Vernon Huffman, goat of last year's game between the two teams, completely outplayed the Wolverines except for a few minutes early in the first quarter when Mich- igan took advantage of a short punt and gave Chris Everhardus the op- portunity to place-kick a field goal from the 25-yard line. Cooper Shines Only in yardage or punts did the Wolverines lead Indiana in the sta- tistics columns, prominent in which were 15 incomplete Michigan passes out of 17 attempted and four oppon- ent's fumbles recovered by Indiana. Coach Kipke's men seemed to have the game well in hand when they scored after six minutes of the first quarter had elapsed. Bob Cooper, who again was the sparkling light in the Michigan backfield, started things with a 58 yard punt that bounded crazily and was swept out of bounds on the Indiana two-yard marker by a strong cross-field wind. Quarterback Huffman's punt from deep in the end zone sliced out of bounds on his own 17. After three plays had totalled a gain of one yard, Everhardus was sent in to try for a goal from field. He responded with a perfect kick from placement from the 25, with Johnny Smithers hold- ing the ball. Stanton Fumbles The first Indiana score, the most surprising play of the game, came during the initial play of the second quarter, after Cooper had ended the first period with a 15-yard runback of a punt to his own 36. Tex Stanton, sophomore fullback replacement, started into the line with the ball, and the next instant big Chris Dal Sasso, captain of the Hoosiers, was running 35 yards for a touchdown through an open field. Sideline observers last night were un- able to agree on whether Dal Sasso had recovered the ball at the instant of fumble or whether 'he had wrenched it off of Stanton's arm as the Wolverine back struck a wall in the form of the Indiana line. George Miller, Hoosier center, cnverted from placement to make the score 7 to 3. Nine. minutes of the second quar- ter had elapsed when Indiana scored again, this time.on a march from the Michigan 30 topped off by a perfect forward pass into the end 'zone. Miller Again Scores Huffman's punt from Michigan's 40 was downed by Dick Kenderdine on the Wolverines' three yard line. Cooper punted to his own 40, but Huffman brought the ball back 10 yards and the Hoosiers were away. Huffman completed a toss to Ken- derdine, who was standing alone in the corner of the end zone. Miller again converted and the score stood at 14 to 3. Fowler, Indiana fullback, prevented a second Michigan touchdown in the final period when he nailed Ritchie with a diving tackle along the side- lines after the Michigan halfback had raced to the Hoosier 33 with only Fowler between him and the goal line. Ritchie, sophomore hope of last year, came through with some fine running in yesterday's game to defi- nitely become a capable replacement 1 tion.- sume office at the expiration of the Also awaiting transfer to prison are term of A.
