XLVII No. 16 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCT. 15, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENTS Monopoly Hit By Roosevelt; MichiranTrip StartsToday President To Make Initial Visit To State Since 1932 Campaign Tour Grand Rapids Stop Is First Scheduled Detroit Talk, Is To Be In Front Of City Hall At 8:30 P.M. The prime purpose of the New Deal has been to break "the deadly grip" of monopoly on American business, President Roosevelt told the nation from Chicago last night, as he pre- pared, on the heels of Gov. Alfred M. Landon, to make his first visit to Michigan since the 1932 campaign. The President will arrive in Grand Rapids at 9:30 a.m. today and de- liver a speech from Campau square there before his special train leaves for Lansing. Arriving in the State Capital at 12:30 p.m., he will be ac- corded a formal welcome from Gov- ernor Fitzgerald and speak from the rear platform of his train. He will also make brief addresses in Flint, Pontiac, Hamtramck and Highland Park before arriving in Detroit for the main speech of his Michigan tour. To Speak At 8:30 P.M. By automobile, President Roose- velt will come up Playfair Street to Joseph Campau Avenue, south to East Grand Boulevard, west to Wood- ward Avenue and south to the City Hall. He will speak at 8:30 p.m., from his car in front of the City Hall, after he is introduced by Frank Murphy, Democratic candidate for Governor, chairman of the meeting. A loud speaker system will make it possible for the President to be heard for a distance of two blocks in every direction jrom the City Hall, ac- cording to Don Kennedy, business manager of the State Highway de- partment and chairman of arrange- ments. Flood lights will also be played on the Presidential car. After his speech, President Roose- velt will go to the Book-Cadillac Hotel for conferences with Demo- cratic party leaders until his train leaves at 11:59 p.m., from the Union Station, for Cincinnati. Speaking of what he called "fairy tales and bogey-men" which he said Republican leaders were using to spread fear, the President last night said: "You have heard about how an- tagonistic to business this Adminis- tration is said to be. You have heard all about the dangers which the business of America is supposed to be facing if this Administration con- tinues. Mentions Record "The answer to that is the record of what we have done. It was this Administration which saved the sys- tem of private profit and free en- terprise after it had been dragged to the brink of ruin by these same leaders who now try to scare you." A few moments later he remrked that the"struggle" againstmonopoly is a struggle for and not against American business-a struggle to pre- serve individual enterprise and ec- onomic freedom. The President spoke from the flag- festooned stage of the Chicago Sta- dium to thousands of people cram- med into every available seat. Four years ago in the same hall he ac- cepted the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.

Gargoyle's First Issue To lie Sold On Campus Today The Gargoyle, campus humor mag- azine, which was recently judged the finest of its type in the entire coun- try, makes its 1936-37 debut on the campus today. Offering features galore, colored pages, stories and pictureson foot- ball, styles and politics, officials ex- pressed the opinion that this issue will be one of the finest published since the Gargoyle has been in exist- ance. Besides some of the features of last year, such as "Preposterous People," that are being carried over this year, there will be as many new and different parts to the magazine, Gilbert Tilles, editor in chief, an- nounced. Many multi-colored plates depict- ing campus events, world and na- tional politics and big moments in the life of a football coach are in- cluded in this issue. It was announced by C. Grant Barnes, business manager, that the plan in which a person could receive both the Gargoyle and Life magazine at a greatly reduced cost will not be 'used this year because of unfor- seen and uncontrollable circum- stances. All persons that have paid for a combined subscription to Life and the Gargoyle are asked to come to the Gargoyle office in the Student Publications building and receive a refund. Typhoon Toll On Luzon Island Reaches 40'8 600 People Are Missing; Officials Combat Hunger, Thirst And Disease MANILA, Oct. 14.-(P)-Author- ities and relief officials moved swift- ly through typhoon-stricken northern Luzon island tonight, combating hunger, thirst and threats of pesti- lence while the death toll rose to 408 missing. Belated reports said 150 miners and three other persons drowned when trapped by a wall of water as they were crossing a river in the San Nar- ciso district of Zambales province, northwest of Manila. Ten others drowned at Magalang, Pampanga Province, when a boat capsized., The stricken regions called for cholera, typhoid and dysentery vac- cine. Dr. Jose Fabela, national relief director, rushed health service work- ers into the area to dispose of all human bodies and animal carcasses as quickly as possible. Flood water polluted drinking water supplies in many places and a typhoid epidemic was feared by authorities. The national assembly will con- vene in special session next week. and probably will be asked to pass a $500,000 relief and rehabilitation bill to aid the four stricken prov- inces. The threat of famine was reported acute in districts which relief agen- cies had been unable to enter because of flood waters. Famine conditions were reported in La Union Province. Authorities there said they feared the critical food situation would cause unrest among the masses. Crop destruction was reported at 40 to 70 per cent in the province. Democrat Club Challenge Not Russia Asks For Blockade Of Portugal Suggest Patrol Of Ports By British Or French Naval Forces Ultimatum Of Last Week Turned Down Russians Trying To Show They Are Not Bluffing In Demand MOSCOW, Oct. 14.-(P)-Russia tonight demanded blockade of Portu- guese ports to prevent shipment of arms to the Spanish Insurgents. An official communique called up- on the neutrality committee to urge the British or French navy, or both, to patrol Portuguese ports. "We demand from the .committee the establishment of such control," the communique said. The Russian demands, the com- munique said, were, handed directly in the form of a note to Lord Ply- mouth, chairman of the Spanish non-intervention committee in Lon- don. The note also demanded, it was said, that the body be reconvened immediately to consider concrete pro- posals which Russia advanced to pre- vent neutrality violations. Allcge Pact Violated The text of the Russian demands was given Lord Plymouth by the Soviet representative Moiseyevich Kagan, "in connection with his dec- laration of Oct. 7." This ,."declaration" charged Italy, Germany and Portugal with breaking their Spanish neutrality pledges, and held that the alleged violations made the neutrality pact but "a screen" for aid to the Insurgents at the ex- pense of the Spanish government LONDON, Oct. 14.-(P)-Lord Ply- mouth, chairman of the Spanish non- intervention committee, t o n i g h t turned down Russia's "virtual ulti- matum" demanding that the com- mittee be reconvened immediately to discuss alleged neutrality violations. Lord Plymouth's reply to Soviet representatives said: "I do not think it would be proper for me to summon a further meeting immediately . e "All specific complaints brought against Portugal were submitted to, and discussed by, the committee Oct. 9, and the Portuguese government was requested to supply as early as possible such explanations as were necessary to establish the facts. " . . . your note contains no ad- ditional evidence to show in fact that the (neutrality) agreement has been violated." The Soviet note demanded the committee be reconvened this week to act on Moscow's charges that Portu- gal, Italy and Germany violated the non-intervention accord . Charity Drive In Ann Arbor Begins Today The sixteenth annual drive of the Ann Arbor Community Fund will open today with a dinner at the Union at 6:30 p.m. A brief program will follow the dinner, including a 15 minute address by Seward C. Simons of the Flint Landon Calls For Liberal Government Nominee Says New Deal Has Confused Change With Progress Kansan Spends Day SpeakingIn State States Furniture Industry Exemplifies Progresses Under 'Old Truths' GRAND RAPIDS, Oct. 15.-(P)- Contending the New Deal has con- fused change with progress, Gover- nor Alf M. Landon called tonight for' a "forward-looking liberal govern- ment" based upon principles tested by time and experience. "We know from history and from the hard school of experience that we desert the old truths only at our, peril," the Republican presidential nominee said. Landon spoke to a crowd from a hotel balcony after a day's campaign- ing through Michigan's industrial. centers, bringing with him a personal endorsement from the automobile state's biggest industrialist, Henry Ford. Describes "Best" Government Referring to the Grand Rapids furniture industry, the Kansan ex- emplified his picture of the "best" government as a "progressive appli- cation of old truths" by saying: "The craftsmen whose skill is re- sponsible for the success of your fa- mous isdustry here did not start by discarding good designs which are still famous, even though some of them go back way beyond the horse and buggy days. On the contrary they cherished and respected them." The nominee said the New Deal "too often has been liberal only in the spending of other people's money" and again pledged a bal- anced budget without depriving the needy of help or the farmer of aid. "Once the government at Wash- ington has been restored to an effi- cient and constitutional basis," he said, "there is going to be general revival of confidence throughout the country and confidence is the fore- runner of real recovery ... Made Poorest Record "Under this administration we have made the poorest record in our history in recovering from hard times. "The country has been ripe for recovery for the last two years. Once all this consumer demand is released, the problem will not be where to find jobs for the unem- ployed. The task then will be where to find workers for the work." The veteran Ford said in a state- ment in Detroit after conferring with the Kansan, that "I admire and be- lieve in him; I hope he is elected." Ate From Bucket "He ate out of a dinner bucket for years and he still thinks along with the men who carry dinner buckets," Ford said. "It is not a pose with him -it is his nature. Gov. Landon's mind has not been warped." The tall, thin capitalist added': "I am not criticizing the New Deal - only say that we have had enough of it, we have had about all of it the country can stand. Its intention may have been good, but its perform- ance was very poor." Ford said the New Deal, in its so- cial security program, was "making to the workmen the same impossible promises that it made to the bus- iness men." Peace Council To Hold First Meeting Today The first general meeting of the Peace Council will be called to order at 8 p.m. today in the Union to de- termine "a strong program for the year." A tentative program, prepared by the executive committee, will be dis- cussed, according to Julian Orr, '37, president of the organization.' He stressed that the Council was not a closed organization, as he made the invitation to all students and faculty interested in the cause of peace, to attend tonight's meeting and aid in deciding a course of action for the coming semesters. Plans include bringing speakers to talk on peace, and anti-war moving pictures, Orr said. A continuous pro- gram throughout the year is an ob- jective of the Council. Roosevelt Has Slim Lead Over Landon As Heavy Voting Marks Daily Poll Students Justiy Their Choices In Daily Presidential Ballotting By ROBERT PERLMAN "For whom did you vote in the campus poll and why?" A Daily reporter, standing on the steps of the Library, walking along the diagonal and on State Street, received the following replies to that question from students picked at random. Landon: "because if Roosevelt gets in there will be a dictatorship. I don't like his alphabetical agencies and I don't want to pay for all this in the future. Roosevelt isn't a true Democrat, he's a Socialist." Roosevelt: "because the country is better off now than it was 4 years ago. Four years ago I wasn't able Talk On Europe To Be Given By Mowrer Today Noted Alumnus To Speak At Lydia Mendelssohn For Open Lecture Edgar Ansel Mowrer, University of Michigan alumnus and noted foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News will speak at 8 p.m. today at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre on "A Journalist Looks at Europe." There will be no admission charge for the lecture. Mr. Mowrer has gained interna- tional fame for his accurate accounts while in Berlin where he was ejected after writing his book, "Germany Turns the Clock Back" which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1933. His articles from European capitals have been syndicated throughout the country and he has on several occa- sions been featured on international broadcasts. Mr. Mowrer was most to come to the University, I can now. We can't let people starve and even if there are misappropriations of money its due to local politics, it's not the administration's fault. I like Roosevelt personally." Browder: "because Landon is re- actionary, though perhaps not overtly His backing will lead him to work in the interests of a minority. Democ- racy seeks happiness for the ma-1 jority. Roosevelt is for the majority, but there is a better solution, the Communist program. It is scientifi- cally devised, it is internationally minded, it eliminates war by elim- inating economic imperialism and its objective is the true brotherhood of mankind." Thomas: "because cooperation would stand a better chance of de- velopment in this country. By co- operation I mean social and economic enterprise not for profit but for use." No vote: "because Roosevelt is too impractical, Landon is a small frog, Lemke is ballyhoo, Thomas is anoth- er Roosevelt and I never heard of Browder." Roosevelt: "because he is doing the most for my people, the Negroes. He has given jobs in the South to Ne- groes and Whites. He is providing NYA work for students." Landon: "because Roosevelt is out of his head. He's taken more power than he can hold on to." Browder: "because he is the only one working in the interests of the American people. He has a definite, constructive program as outlined in the editorial in The Daily. He is an American with an American plan. He opposes war and' fascism." Student Gone Without Trace Since Monday President's Margin Only 35 Votes At End Of First Day's Ballotting Thomas, Browder, SupportNot Heavy Vote Casting To Continue Today And Tomorrow At Designated Booths President Roosevelt held a slender lead of 35 votes over Governor Lan- don this morning after the first day of balloting in The Daily's stu- dent presidential poll in which 2,010 votes were cast. The President received 933 of the votes to 898 for Governor Landon. It was the heaviest first'day of vot- ing ever recorded in student polls conducted by The Daily. The close vote indicated a wide- spread change in student political sentiment compared to The Daily's 1932 straw vote when former Pres- ident Hoover received more than a two to one majority over President Roosevelt.

Results of the first day of bal- loting in The Daily's student presidential poll: Roosevelt .............. ..933 Landon ...................898 Thomas ...................99 Browdjer .................. 69 Lemke....................8 Total votes cast: 2,010. date polled 1,615 votes in 1932 to 748 for Roosevelt. The first day of voting also indi- cated that student interest in the presidential election is much greater than in 17932 when the total vote was 2,821, only 811 more than was record- ed in yesterday's balloting. Voting is expected to fall off during the final days of voting today and to- morrow. Norman Thomas, Socialist candi- date, ran third with 99 votes. He was closely followed by Earl Brow- der, Communist candidate, who polled 69 votes. Rep. William Lemke, candidate of . the Union party, was well down the list with eight votes. Ruthven Receives Vote Three others, President Ruthven, Prof. John H. Muyskens of the speech department, and John W. Aiken, So- cialist-Labor candidate, each re- ceived one vote although their names were not on the ballot. The vote for Thomas was lower than expected, while the Communist vote exceeded expectations. It is generally believed that the total So- cialist vote will be considerably smaller than the 420 votes cast for Thomas in 1932. The vote for Brow- der is already more than double the total recorded by William Foster the Communist candidate in the, 1932 straw vote. Considered significant by many in the vote for Thomas and Browder were six votes cast for Browder by members of fraternities and sorori- ties, and 22 for Thomas. President Roosevelt jumped into a large lead in the returns from four of the' six voting places on the cam- pus, but heavy Republican voting at the Union and League polling places cut his lead down. Women's Vote Light Voting by women students was much lighter than expected. Lead- ers of women's organizations on the campus were busy today in attempts to get out the women's vote. The polls were closely watched yes- terday by members of campus Re- publican, Democratic and Socialist organizations. No clashes among the students were reported, however. Voting will continue today and to- morrow at the six polling places lo- cated in the Angell Hall lobby, on the diagonal in front of the main library, under the Engineering Arch, in front of the Union, in the League, and on the mall between the School of Education and College of Archi- tecture. The polls will be open from 9 a.m. through 12:30 p.m., and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. All students who wish to vote must show their identification cards. Each card is checked to insure against multiple voting. Art Gallery Tour Is nn Thsm Ar, Tra Yet Answered Community Fund, and motion pic- s1tures.
