LONDON, Oct. 23.-()-The Span-
ish Non-Intervention Committee ad-
journed a stormy session tonight with
Russia still technically a member de-
spite a Moscow declaration to pursue
and course it saw fit in the Spanish
civil war. ,
(An exchange telegraph dispatchT
from Rome said well-informed circles
declared "Dino Grandi" (the Italian
ambassador to London) will undoubt-
edly receive instructions Saturday to
hand in Italy's resignation from the
Non-Intervention Committee.")
Russian delegates, non-committal
on their country's future neutrality
policy, said however, that Italian,
German and Portuguese counter-
charges of neutrality violations had
not been discussed at today's meet-
ing.
A sub-committee of 13 nations, in-
cluding Russia, was called to meet
Saturday, with a full committee ses-
sion summoned, for next Wednesday.o
The two Soviet delegates, Ambas-
sador Ivan Maisky and M. Kagan, ap-1
peared unperturbed as they emerged
from the crucial meeting.
When asked when Russia would
send arms to the Spanish Madrid gov-
ernment, Maisky replied:
"We are not doing anything pend-
ing the outcome of neutrality nego-
tiations."
British informed sources expressed
belief that the Soviet communication
was "plain hedging."
Informed observers felt the most
hopeful sign for the neutrality pact
was the fact that Russia had not ac-
tually walked out of the committee
session.

Beckman Replaces Church
As National Chairman
Of Association
The Michigan Technic, publication
of the students of the engineering
school, was presented the award for
the best engineering college journal
by the Engineering College Maga-
zine Association at a dinner in the
Union last night.
The award was made for the year
1935-1936 on the basis of increased
circulation and maintenance of a
high standard of publication. During
the period for which the prize -was
given, Robert L. Taylor, '36E, was
managing editor. The circulation
jumped from 500 to 1,000 copies per
month over a period of two years, it
was revealed.
The annual convention of the En-
gineering College Magazines Associ-
ation has' been held at the Union
for two days. It wasaclimaxed by
the dinner last night when" the award
was announced. A new Iational
chairman of the association was
elcted for two years. Prof. Richard
Beckman of Iowa replaces Leonard
Church of McGraw-Hill, technical
Sbookpublishers.
The association was organized with
the purpose of maintaining a stand-
ard style and publictaion policy for
the engineering college magazines of
the country. The first convention
was held in the Union 14 years ago
and since then the Technic has led
the field of 24 member publications
maytimes.
I The Michigan Technic, edited this
year by Robert B. Baldwin, '37E, is
( the oldest engineering college journal
in the cuontry. It has been in exist-
ence 84 years since 1852.

LISBON, Portugal, Oct. 24.-(Sat-!
urday) -AP)-Severance of diplomatic
relations with the Madrid govern-
ment was announced early today by
the Portuguese government.
A note to the Spanish ambassador
here contained reasons for the ac-
tion, it was announced officially.
(The government of Portugal, a
dictatorship under Premier Antonio
de Oliveira Salazar, has been accused
by the Russian government of aiding
the Spanish Fascist insurgents. Por-
tugal has flatly denied the charge).
The Portuguese charge d'a'ffaires at
Alicante, Spain, was instructed to
return here on a Portuguese naval
vessel anchored at that port on the
southeastern Spanish coast.
TENERIFFE, Canary Islands, Oct.
24.-(Saturday)-(P)-The Spanish
Fascist radio station here reported
early today insurgent troops had cap-
tured Mostoles, ten miles southwest"
of Madrid.
The Fascists drove out government
forces after an advance from Naval-
carnero, a key point in the capital's
defenses which they captured Wed-
nesday, the broadcaster said.
ON MADRID BATTLEFRONTS,
Oct. 23.-(A)-Fascist insurgent war-
planes-"blackbirds of death" -
strafed terrified Madrid today.
Three times within 12 hours a half
dozen planes,inneat formation, dived
on the city and splattered buildings
and streets with their machine gun
bullets.
The populace, mainly women and
children, dashed wildly through the
streets seeking shelter in basements
while ricocheting bullets whined past
their heads.
All able bodied men were at the
front, trying to keep the swiftly mov-
ing insurgent advance from driving
closer to their homes and families.
At Mostoles, west of Madrid, the
trained insurgents steadily were
pressing the government lines within
10 miles of the capital.
When the panic-stricken populace
emerged warily from their under-
ground retreats, they found the cityl
littered with pamphlets dropped by
the aviators calling upon them to
surrender their city.
'Michig Inn' Now Open

The Michig Inn" opened last night
under new management. It was an-
nounced that the cellar will be con-
ducted under separate management
and offers dancing with two bands
and a number of singers and en-
tertainers available.
e About the walls of the cellar are
murals painted by students depicting
wedding scenes, also several cari-
catures of faculty members are in-
cluded.
It was further explained that the
cellar will be run by a student with
student help. Food and drinks will
be available both in the restaurant
and the cellar.

tion of reichsbank president, "will be
the real power behind the German
economic throne," while Goering, who
represents the prestige of the Nazi
regime, will hold off the radical ele-
ments in the party, Professor Ellis
said.
Goering himself is a member of
the over - enthusiastic militaristic
clique, which would risk inflation
and the entire credit structure of
Germany in order to secure with ut-
most rapidity the goals of the second'
Nazi four-year plan-economic self-
sufficiency and military equality with
European powers, he said.
Represents Conservative Element
Schacht represents the more con-
servative financial element in the
party, which favors the four-year
plan but does not want to overdo
it, Professor Ellis said. This means,
in the opinion of Professor Ellis, that
if Goering insists on carrying out
his own policy in spite of Schacht, the
latter will probably resign.

Cinema Technique
A t League Theatre
"An independent cinema movement
is important to the development of
the motion picture as an art, accord-
ing to Joris Ivens, distinguished
Dutch director, who delivered a short
lecture and gave a running com-
mentary during the showing of four
of his films, last night in the Lydia
Mendelssohn theatre.
Mr. Ivens, who has been directing
the production of this new type of
cinema work for the past seven years,
presented "Rain," "Industrial Sym-
phony," "Borinage," and "New
Earth"-pictures which show the de-
velopment of his photographic tech-
nique from its early phase as abstract
art to its present form as a problem
-presenting "social document."
In his next endeavor Mr. Ivens is
collaborating with Paul de Kruif in
producing a screen version of de
Kruif's book, "Why Keep Them
Alive?"
"Borinage," Mr. Ivens said, was
produced upon the suggestion of a
Belgian labor group, for the purpose
of arousing public interest in the
squalid conditions of the Borinage
coal mining area.
When the picture was shown in
Brussels-a two hour trip from the
mines-the conditions described
seemed so unbelievable that Mr. Iv-[
ens was forced to get Andre Gide,
noted French writer, to verify them
before the film was accepted as a,
realistic portrait and not a figment
of the imagination, he said.

A presidential poll of the 750 fac-
ulty members in all the colleges and
schools of the University will be con-
ducted by The Daily beginning Mon-
day.
The poll will be spread over a three
day period, ending Wednesday. Bal-
lots are being distributed to the heads
of the schools and colleges who will
give them to the faculty members on
their staffs. Results will be pub-
lished in The Daily each. morning
with the total vote released Thurs-
day.
Five names will appear on the bal-
lot: President Roosevelt, Governor
Landon, Norman Thomas, Earl Brow-
der and William Lemke, Unionist can-
didate. A separate count of all fac-
ulty members in "Who's Who" .will
also be conducted.
The poll will be similar to the
straw vote conducted by The Daily,
before the 1932 presidential election j
when 471 faculty votes were cast.
Former President Hoover led the vote
by a comfortable margin, polling
236 votes to 132 for Presient Roose-
velt, 96 for Thomas, and 7 for William
Z. Foster, the Communist candidate.
Hoover's margin in the 1932 faculty
poll wasconsiderably less than the
lead he received in the student poll
of that year which he won by a mar-
gin of more than two to one. Pres-
ident Roosevelt was defeated in the
student poll conducted last week by!
The Daily by 26 votes. If the pres-

It will be a snarling Michigan Wol-
verine, intent upon clawing its way
to its first gridiron victory of 1936,
that faces the Columbia Lion this af-
ternoon in the Stadium before a
crowd that is not expected to exceed
25,000.
To all indications the warfare will
largely be carried on through the air,
with Sid Luckman's expert passes
carrying most of Lou Little's hopes
while Johnny Smithers and Alex L0p

defensive with sharp tosses mixed in
with what is hoped to be an improved
Michigan running attack. The Lions'

Coach Harry Kipke has drilled his
squad hard this week on aerial plays.
Little After Revenge
Today's skirmish will be the first
intersectional tilt of the season for
Michigan, an eleven that despite des-
perately poor records in the last two
years has not been beaten in inter-
sectional play since the Navy turned
the trick in 1926. The Columbia in-
vasion marks the first appearance of
this blew York team in Ann Arbor
and Coach Little is intent upon re-
venging the 19-7 defeat the Wolver-
ines handed his charges in 1935.
Both squads were sent through
easy tapering-off drills yesterday,
Columbia in the Stadium and Michi-
gan on Ferry Field. The Lions, looked
impressive as they went through sig-
nals, radiating a confidence similar
to that displayed by Michigan as it
prepared last Friday for a beating at
the hands of Minnesota.

Mid West Backs Landon; East Is

By WILLIAM SHACKLETON
A substantial lead gained among
students from within the state and
from the middle west in general pro-
vided the margin by which Governor
Landon led in The Daily's presiden-
tial poll, final compilation of the
ballots revealed last night.
Of the 1,849 votes which the Re-
publican candidate for the presi-
dency received, 894 were cast by na-
tives of the state, while President;
Roosevelt obtained only 801 votes
from the same source. The grand
totals for these two showed Landon
leading by 26 over the President.
Among students who listed Illinois
as their residence the Kansan re-

in Pennsylvania the figures were re-
spectively 69 and 60, in New Jersey
63 and 42 and in Massachusetts 37
and 17.'
Norman Thomas, Socialist candi-
date who received 178 votes in the
poll, obtained a somewhat larger pro-
portion of his support from the east-
ern students than did either the Pres-
ident or Governor Landon, the figures
showed. New Yorkers' votes account-
ed for 30 of his total, New Jersey for
14 and Massachusetts for 7, but Penn-
sylvanians gave him only 2 votes. In
Michigan Thomas obtained 93 votes,
while the rest of the middle west, far
and south added but 18 to his total.
