Daily Will Begin Presidential
Poll Of Campus Tomorrow
Vote Is Part Of National
Balloting Of Princeton
Campus NewspaperI
The Daily, with the cooperation of
the Union and the League, will start
Wednesday to poll the entire campus
on the presidential election.
The poll, to be run in connection
with The Daily Princetonian's nation-
wide collegiate poll, will seek to de-
termine campus sentiment on each,
presidential candidate. Faculty mem-
bers will be polled later.
A poll committee, composed of4
Charlotte Rueger, '37, president of1
the League; Herbert Wolfe, '37, pres-
ident of the Union; and Elsie A.
Pierce, '37, managing editor of The
Daily, will be responsible for arrange-
ments.
From 9 a.m. through 2:30 p.m., and
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., tomorrow,1
Thursday and Friday, students will
be able to obtain ballots from six
polling places located at prominentI
points on the campus. Identifica-s
tion cards must be produced beforeI
a ballot will be accepted by the per-;
son in charge of the polling places.c
The polls will be at: Angell Hall
lobby; the Diagonal in front of the
Main Library; in front of the Union;
in the League; under the Engineer-
ing Arch. Tomorrow and Thursday
noon they will be on the mall between
the School of Education and the Col-
lege of Architecture, and Thursday
afternoon and Friday in the Law
School. The polling place in the
League wlil be open from 9 a.m. to
noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. daily.
Results of The Daily poll will be
published each morning with the total
vote coming out Saturday. Results
of the national collegiate poll will
be available soon after Oct. 20, ac-
cording to the Daily Princetonian.
The poll committee stressed the
fact that each student in the Uni-
versity should attempt to cast a vote
and gave assurance that "every pre-
caution" will be taken against stuffing
ballot boxes. It is the committee's
opinion that three days should be
sufficient to catch all students with
their identification cards. A small
check will be placed on each card af-
ter a student has voted to insure'
against a person voting more than
once.

Interfraternity Council Has
No Charges Of Illegal
RushingEntered
Fraternity rushing came to a con-
clusion last night with the formal
pledging of 575 men, the largest num-
ber pledged in the past five years.
Pledge classes in the 42 fraternities
that turned in preference lists ranged
in number from one to 27, with the
average class numbering 13. The in-
creased number of pledges was ex-
plained by officials as a result of this
year's record breaking enrollment
together with the decreased number
of fraternities on campus this year.
No charges were entered with the
Interfraternity Council for illegal
rushing either for the regular rush-
ing period or the silence period, ac-
cording tohGeorgeCosper, '37, pres-
ident of the council.
Council Survey
Registrations with the council
numbered 730 this year according to
Cosper, and the plan of giving each
man a name badge was so well re-
ceived that it will be continued, he
said.
The number of men pledging this'
fall is greater than it has been since
the depression, figures show. Last
year there were 458 pledged in the
fall and in 1934 there were 498.
Although only the customary com-
plaints against the present rushing
system have been made this fall, ac-
cording to Cosper, the council through
correspondence with other schools is
endeavoring to survey the problem;
and to ascertain if there is in opera-
tion a system more practical for
Michigan's needs than the present1
one.
Following are the pledges:

Loyalist Force 1

By Insurgents
Government Force Caught'
By Rebels In Wooded
Region Near City
BURGOS, Spain, Oct. 122.-P)-A
government force attempting to re-
capture San Martin De Valdelglisias
was trapped tonight in a heavily
wooded region three miles from the
town by three columns of insurgents.
Insurgent officers herensaid the
government soldiers could not ad-
vance and that the insurgents had
cut off any avenue of retreat.
(An insurgent radio broadcast from
Seville claimed that their forces at
San Martin had killed or wounded
500 government fighters. The broad-
caster -also charged the government
troops had killed 300 hostages before
fleeing from the town).
Government airplanes bombarded
insurgents trying to consolidate their
positions in the region, but were driv-
en off by anti-aircraft batteries.
The insurgent commanders were
concentrating troops for a drive on
Madrid, which they hope to occupy
within 10 days.
The concentration was speeded
both becausenof a Soviet threat of
possibleaidsto the Madrid govern-
ment and the unusually early ap-
proach of winter weather.
The insurgents were massing in the
mountains west of Madrid, and on
the Avila and Toledo fronts. Their
officers were encouraged by the oc-
cupation of Cerbreros, mountain
town which controls Madrid's elec-
tric supply, and by the capture of two
towns - Villa-Harta and Espiel -
about 20 miles northwest of Cordoba.

Relief Set-Up
Of New Deal
Hit By Landon
G.O.P. Candidate Would1
Have 'Liberal' Program
Built On Cash Grants1
CLEVELAND, Oct. 12.-()-A
"liberal" relief program built on
federal cash grants and state admin-
istration was proposed by Gov. AlfI
M. Landon tonight to replace the New1
Deal rule whcih he termed a "na-F
tional scandal" and "disgrace.''
He said that the Roosevelt admin-
istration had diverted relief money tol
building a "shameless political ma-
chine."
Even worse, the Governor said, was
its "record of miserable failure" in
the duties of administering relief "so1
wisely, so sympathetically that hu-
man values will not be destroyed" and1
"of doing everything in our power to
assist real recovery-that means to1
get real jobs for the unemployed."
Standing in the big public audi-
torium where the Pepublican conven-
tion nominated him for the presi-
dency four months ago, Governor
Landon presented his personal elab-
oration of the relief plank in that
convention's platform.
"The first thing is to get rid of
waste, extravagance and politics in
the administration of relief," Landon
said. "We must have a common
sense, workable solution."
"The first step in building an in-;
telligent system for handling relief is
to find out the facts," he declared.
"That the Republican party proposes
to do.
"The Republican party as a major
reform proposes to return the ad-
ministration of reliefetothehstates.
It will then be possible for the com-
munities themselves to determine just
what form relief should take. They
will determine what, if any, work re-
lief projects will be started or con-
tinued."

cerning the subscription to the na-
tional monthly humor magazine
which has been offered with a Gar-
goyle subscription.

Michigan Prepares
To Welcome Landon
DETROIT, Oct. 12.-(P)--Mich-
igan was prepared tonight to wel-
come the Republican party's presi-
dential aspirant, Gov. Alf M. Lan-
don, with all the fanfare, bands,
fle a- qand nihic- i a on ,nnlA *,rniah
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-(P)-In
its first business session of the term, I
the Supreme Court today stood pat e
on its invalidation of the New York s
minimum wage law for women and t
agreed to review an appeal from a c
decision holding a similar statute inn
the State of Washington was con-t
stitutional.
The appeal on the Washington law r
was made by opponents of the statute, C
and so the court's action was what a
they wanted. But at the same time I
it will grant advocates of such legis-s
lation another chance to convince thes
high tribunal of its constitutionality.t
Rule On Labor Lawst
In all, the court acted on 295 ap-f
peals today, consenting to review six
disputes involving New Deal legis-
lation and declining to pass on three
others. In addition, it not only re-
fused to rehear the New York case,
but also declined to reconsider its
five to four ruling last May holding
unconstitutional the federal munici-e
pal bankruptcy law to help cities re-C
duce their indebtedness.
Major New Deal rulings involveds
the Railway Labor Act; the WagnerF
Labor Law, the Public Utility Hold-
ing Co. Act, the Silver Profits Tax,
and the revised Frazier-Lemke FarmC
Mortgage Moratorium Law.t
Justice Department officials ex- 1
pressed "great satisfaction" with the r
court's rulings. They said the gov-
ernment's percentage of granted re-t
quests was "the best in many years."s
Chief interest today, however, cen-t
tered on the r'inimum wage law, be-I
cause the court's 5 to 4 decision r
that the New York statute was un-I
constitutional had echoed into theX
presidential campaign.
It was this decision last June thatt
drew from President Roosevelt a
statement that the court had estab-
lished a no man's land in which nei-
ther the federal nor the state govern-
ments could act.'
New Deal Laws
New Deal litigation the justices
consented to hear argued involved:
Whether the government can hold
up rulings by lower courts on validity
of the Public Utility Holding Co. Act
until it obtains a final decision by the
Supreme Court on the legislation in
an action it brought against the Elec-
tric Bond and Share Co. The court
of appeals for the District of Co-
lumbia ruled against the govern-
ment.
A 50 per cent tax on silver profits
in connection with the Silver Pur-
chase Act. The court of claims held
the tax unconstitutional in a case
filed by Percy K. Hudson of New York.
Provisions of the Railway Labor
Act authorizing collective bargaining
between representatives of employes
and the raliroads. The act, amended,
in 1934, was held constitutional. by
the fourthbcircuit court of appeals in
a dispute between the Virginian Rail-
way and some of its employes.
New Broadcast Is
To Begin Today
The first University "actuality
broadcast" is scheduled to go on the
air at 2:15 p.m. today from the Wil-
liam L. Clements Library of Ameri-
can History. Waldo Abbot, director
of broadcasting, will take the micro-
phone into the Library where Ran-
dolph G. Adams, director, will de-
scribe to the radio listeners the book
written by Columbus concerning his
voyage.
He will also tell about the Clinton
and Greene papers, give a descrip-
tion of the early maps of America,
and then comment upon the pur-
pose of the library.
For this series of "actuality broad-
casts," which will take place every
Tuesday at the same time, Mr. Ab-
bot will take the microphone into the
various museums, laboratories, shops,
and other points of interest on the
campus.

DENVER, Colo., Oct. 12.-(P)-A
President Roosevelt carried his re- R
election drive to the Rocky Mountain f
states today with a twin declaration f
hat the United States is "around the d
corner" toward recovery and that "ourd
a
monetary system is the soundest inC
the world." e
Standing on a gayly decorat-
platform on the west terrace of the b
Colorado State House, Roosevelt told r
a great outdoor throng that Repub- T
lican leaders had made a "pitiful b
spectacle" in criticizing government d
spending while seeking Federal aid
themselves, and pledged his adminis-
tration to "save" the constitutional
form of government for America.
As in former speeches he did not
mention Gov. Alf M. Landon or Col.
Frank Knox by name, but he struck
Fut again at the Republican leaders
for what he said was their "incon-
istency" in making different prom-
ses to Western and Eastern audi-
ences.
The crowd which Police Chief
George Marland estimated at 45,000
ent up a big cheer when the Presi-
dent leveled his oratory against the
Republican leaders.
"When Republican leaders speak a
out here," he said, "they proclaimc
their sympathy with all these western h
projects and promise you more and'
more of them. (I
When they speak to audiences ina
the East they proclaim that they
are going to cut government expendi-
ures to the bone.u
"There was an old Roman godb
named Janus. He faced both ways.
He had two mouths. I need not ex-
plain that parable any further."
He spoke of mining revival aftera
the administration had "laid then
ghost of the old gold parity of the
dollar" and when it purchased goldp
and silver.

Newly-Organized G r o u p
Asks For Debate With0
Young Republicans
A newly-organized "Rooseveltians"a
club last night challenged the Uni-t
versity Young Republicans Club to aa
debate on the Presidential election.r
Asserting that "the reelection oft
President Roosevelt is the earnest de-
sire of all thoughtful and rational1
people," the "Rooseveltians" declare
themselves "completely nescient ofk
why" pro-Landondsentiment "existsL
on this campus and elsewhere." The
question proposed for debate, ex-
plained in the challenge letter on the
editorial page of today's Daily, is:
"Resolved, That President Roosevelt
Should be Reelected Rather Than
Alf M. Landon Elected President of
the United States." An immediate
reply is sought.
The debate committee of the
"Rooseveltians," who were organized
Sunday in the Union, is composed of
Richard L. Shook, '38L, president of
the club, and Joseph J Joseph, '37.
Shook lives at 602 East Liberty St.,
telephone 6658; Joseph lives at 513
Elm St.. telephone 2-1612.
Other officers of the "Roosevel-
tians" are Robert Winston, '37L, vice-
president, and Alice Humber, Grad.
In addition to the debate, which,
according to Shook, will be sponsored
by the Union as a Sunday Forum,
the "Rooseveltians" plan to "secure a
speaker of nationalrprestige to come
to Ann Arbor before Nov. 3."
Also, at 4 p.m. Sunday, Prof. John
H. Muyskens of the speech depart-
ment, unsuccessful candidate on the
Democratic ticket for the United
States Senatorial nomination and a
prominent local Democrat, will ad-

Nominee Today
'Why I Am For Landon' Is
Topic Of Cincinnati, O.,
Lawyer-Politician
Charles P. Taft, II, Cincinnati, 0.,
a lawyer and member of the Republi-
can "brain trust," will speak in be-
half of Gov. Alf M. Landon, the Re-
publican presidential nominee, at 8
p.m. today in the Union ballroom. His
address, "Why I Ai For Landon,"
will be the second of the Union For-
uim series.
Avowedly a middle-of -the-roader,
Mr. Taft is said to be in sympathy
with the New Deal in its tariff pol-
icies, the Securities Exchange Com-
mission, the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation and in its treat-
ment of labor.
In "You And I-And Roosevelt,"
published early this year, Mr. Taft
has listed his chief grievances with
the New Deal as financial waste,
"must bills" and the reputed spoils
system. Although in favor of social
security legislation he is in disagree-
ment with the New Deal on its social
security 'act.
Mr. Taft, who is son of former-
President Charles P. Taft, was the
acknowledged representative of Gov-
rnor Landon in drafting the relief,
ocial security and civil service planks
of the Republican platform at the
Cleveland convention.
He was active in the Cincinnati
governmenthreform of several years
ago which has become widely known
through Mr. Taft's book "City Man-
agement: The Cincinnati Experi-
ment." His brother Robert Taft was
Ohio Republicans' "favorite son" in
the primaries of last spring.
Graduated from Yale college in
1918 and Yale Law school in 1921, Mr.
Taft entered law practice with his
brother in Cincinnati in 1922. As an
undergraduate, he wasna member of
Yale's football team and captain of
its basketball team.
Prof. Clarence D. Manion, dean of
the Notre Dame law school, spoke in
behalf of President Roosevelt Oct. 3
in the Union Forum series.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-(A)-
secretary Morgenthau today an-
ounced the establishment of "a
few type of gold standard" by the
Jnited States, Great Britain and
France, providing for the free ex-
hange of gold between the stabiliza-
'ion funds of the three nations.
The Tri-power agreement, effec-
ive tomorrow, does not establish
ixed ratios for currencies of the three
ountries, and gold transactions will
lot be permitted by individuals.
Morgenthau characterized the new
tandard as a "second step" toward
nternational currency stabilization,
Eirectly resulting from the "gentle-
nen's agreement" on monetary policy
oncluded by the three nations Sept.
16.
To Protect Business
The chief effect of the new ar-
angement, he said, would be to take
the power to trade gold out of the
lands of "irresponsibled seculator
ind put it in the hands of the govern-
nent.
Other nations will be welcome to
nter into the agreementat any time,
lorgenthau added.
He said the arrangement might be
revoked by any of the three nations
on 24 hours notice.
The primary purpose of the agree-
ment, Morgenthau said, is to protect
American business against violent
fluctuations of the exchanges. He
asserted it would have no effect what-
ever on the internal value of the dol-
lar.
Under the tri-partite understand-
ing, sales of gold will be made, be-
ginning tomorrow, through the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank of New York, as
fiscal agent of the United States, at
a price of $35 per fine ounce, plus a
1-4 per cent handling charge.
Tomorrow gold will be sold only to
the stabilization funds of Great Brit-
ain and France, but sales may be au-
thorized to other countries as soon as
they agree to sell bullion to the
UnitedStates from their stabiliza-
ion funds.
Private Exports Invalid
Few American business men will be
directly affected by the new system,
Morgenthau said.
Previously gold could be shipped
out of America by any individual or
corporation obtaining an export li-
cense from the treasury. Actually,
few such licenses were sought, be-
cause gold has been flowing steadily
into the United States for many
months.
Under the new arrangement, pri-
vate exports of gold are abolished,
and the government will export only
to those nations ahering to the agree-
ment. Bullion still may be imported
from any source, but must be trans-
ferred to the government as soon as
it enters this country.
Whether gold will tend to flow in
or out of the United States under the
new system is impossible to predict,
Morgenthau said. He added that he
was "not worried," because Amer-
ica's huge gold reserve could with-
stand any conceivable drain.
