today girded themselves for one of the
season's toughest battles and pre-

keep unscathed their perfect 10-year
record in intersectional grid warfare.
The invading Wolverines, 34 strong,
accompanied by the Michigan's band

Pollock To Talk
About Election
Before forum
Prof. James K. Pollock of the po-
litical science department will an-
alyze the Presidential election at 4:15
p.m. Sunday in the Union ballroom
as the first speaker to appear on the
Union Sunday forum series.1
In his lecture Sunday Professor
Pollock said he will deal mainly with
the huge Democratic plurality vote
and its probable effect on state gov-
ernments, Congress and President
Roosevelt.
Yesterday Professor Pollock ex-
pressed confidence that the Michigan
Civil Service bill, which was devised
by a committee headed by Professor
Pollock, will not be adversely af-
fected by the change in the State
administration.

"It is too big for any political
change to affect it. The people of
Michigan have shown they are in
favor of the merit system, and there
is every reason to believe that under
proper executive and legislative lead-
ership the civil service bill will be-
come a law," Professor Pollock said.
He suggested that the popularity of
the bill in Michigan will be reflected
in the legislature. "Democrats and

Henry Joy, Sr.,
Motor Pioneer,
Dies In Detroit
Former Packard President
Heart Disease Victim;
Funeral Monday
DETROIT, Nov. 6.--(P)-Michigan
lost another of its automotive indus-
try pioneers today with the death
of Henry B. Joy, Sr., the man who was
responsible for the Packard Motor
Car Company's removal to Detroit
and who at one time was its presi-
dent.
Had he lived until Nov. 23 he would
have been 72 years old. He was
born in Detroit in 1854. His family
was at his bedside when his death,
attributed to heart disease, occurred
at 2:45 a.m. (E.S.T.). The funeral
will be held Monday at the Joy resi-
dence in Grosse Pointe Farms.
Joy is survived by his widow, the
former Helen Hall Newberry, whom
he married in 1892, and two children,
Henry B. Joy, Jr., and Mrs. Helen
Taylor.
As well as being one of the early
leaders in the automobile business,
Mr. Joy gained national renown
for his promotion of the Lincoln
highway.
During the Spanish-American War
Joy was chief boatswain's mate on the
U.S.S. Yosemite.
His only business connection when
he died was the presidency of the
Joy Realty Company, but before he
retired from an active business and
social life he had held directories in
the United States Chamber of Com-
merce. the LaSalle County (Ill.) Car-
bon Coal Company and the American
Protective Tariff League. He be-
longed to several clubs in Detroit and
New York.
Educated in the city's public
schools, Joy was graduated from the
old Orchard Lake Military Academy,
Orchar'd Lake, Mich., and Phillips
Academy, Andover, Mass. He then
attended Sheffield Scientific School
at Yale University.

Bad Guesser; Gave
Landon 163 Votes
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. - (A)-
President Roosevelt as a campaigner
piled up the biggest electoral vote in
history, but as a guesser on the out-
come he proved very bad indeed.
Smiling at newspapermen around
his desk, Mr. Roosevelt today re-
vealed that his private forecast, made
on Nov. 1 and sealed in an envelope
tntil the returns hal been counted,
was: Roosevelt, 360, Landon, 171. Thr
President actually got 523 to Landon's
eight.
The President had made three,
other forecasts, but he described the
fourth and last as his best. Grinning,
he apologised for the bad guess.
The President's first forecast was
made last Jan. 30. Then he figured
the Democratic vote at 325, Repub-
lican 206.
On June 5, just before the conven-
tions, he figured: Democrats 315, Re-
publicans 216.
On Aug. 2, upon his return from
Quebec, he put down initials for the
first time, as follows: FDR 340, AML
1191.

Widespread and urgent appeals for1

labor and even to the courts.
Peace negotiations remained in a,
stalemate here. A few ships man-I

In behalf of 600 passengers strand-
ed in Honolulu, Governor Joseph B.
Poindexter cabled Assistant Secre-
tary of Labor Edward F. McGrady
here asking relief.
Situation 'Most Serious'
Poindexter said all those stranded
were non-residents of Hawaii and
that their situation is "most serious."
He asked McGrady to persuade
union authorities to permit movement:
of ships strikebound in Honolulu to
the Pacific Coast. The Central
Strike Committee was considering the
request. -
Union claims indicated 380 ships
were tied up. New York strikers
claimed 16,000 men and 277 ships had
been affected on the Atlantic and,
Gulf coasts. About 150 of these were
on the Pacific coast and three large
ships were stalled in Honolulu.
Many Tieups
Union reports from key ports on
;he Atlantic and Gulf coasts showed
49 tieups in New York, 31 in Phila-
delphia, 27 in Batlimore, 7 in Hous-
ton, 4 in Boston and one each at
Galveston and 23 at Brownsville.
Miller Jensen, Boston agent for
the Eastern and Gulf Sailors Asso-

insurgent seamen's strike had been
broken there. Three ships left Boston
Harbor, last night but four remained
strikebound.

t
Thurston ,Bowsher Assert"
System Lacks Efficiency
F
And Good Teachers
g
Officers of two state departments c
of education emphasized the need1
for reform in their systems before a t
large audience in the University High
School yesterday. f
Dr. Lee M. Thurston, deputy sup- d
wrintendent of Public Instruction in s
Michigan and E. L. Bowsher, direct- t
or of education in the Ohio depart-
ment of education told the Parent P
Education Institute that the machin- a
ery of education must be made more o
efficient and that well paid, well h
trained and unimpeded teachers be c
employed.
Dr. Thurston said shortly after his C
address that he considers the prob-
lem of finance the most pressing tob
the department of education.
"Some teachers receive stipendsi
smaller thqn those given to reliefi
workers," he said. "There is also the
problem of nepotism which one may t
find in countless school districts t
throughout Michigan."
Continuing in his presentation of
the financial problem Dr. ThurstonF
said that the state had not construct-
ed or added to school buildings ex- n
cept with the aid of federal funds, t
"Many buildings are unhygienic
and others are overcrowded," Dr.a
Thurston continued.P
Earlier in the day Mr. Bowsher
expressed opinions which were ofp
a similar nature. He pointed to the
elimination in his state of the one
room rural school as a method of in--b
creasing the efficiency of the de-t
partment of education.,
"One of the difficulties facing the
advance of progressive educationalu
plans is the attitude of the publicc
against innovations. That attitude
must change if children of the fu-
ture are to benefit from public ed-
ucation," Bowsher indicated. V

As the night wore on, an atmos-
here of fear and forboding gripped
he city.
LONDON, Nov. 7.-(Saturday)-
P)-Authoritative word received here
oday said the Spanish government
as reported planning to abandon
ladrid immediately.
The report followed indications at
'ascist field headquarters at Getafe,
ust outside Madrid, that the insur-
eent commander-in-chief, Gen. Fran-
isco Franco, might begin what he
loped would be the final attack on
he capital this morning.
The fascists reached a point only
our miles south of the heart of Ma-
[rid when thep captured the radio
tation at Campamento and the Cua-
ro Vientos airport yesterday.
The report of the government's
)an to quit the capital was taken as
n indication officials believed a rebel
nslaught was imminent, three and a
ialf months after the start of the
ivil war.
Telephoning to London, an Asso-
iated Press correspondent-the ofli-
ial censor at his elbow-said mem-
ers of the Associated Press' Madrid
taff "probably will go to the Amer-
can and British embassies this morn-
'ng."
This left little doubt General Fran-
~o's men were expected to sweep vie-
oriously into the center of the city
oday.
ALCORCON, Spain, Nov. 6.-.PA)--
Fascist insurgents tonight captured
he Madrid radio station at Campa-
nento and occupied the Cuatro Vien-
os airport.
The Fascists slammed ahead
against surprisingly strong and unex-
pected government resistance.
They pushed their advance into a
position less than four miles from
the heart of Madrid itself.
At least 5,000 Madrid militiamen
behind tanks retreated only after a
terrific bombardment by four Fas-
cist field batteries.
The center of the insurgent col-
umu led the advance while another
column on the right captured Villa-
Verde.
GETAFE, Spain, Nov. 6.-P)-It
was indicated in Fascist field head-
quarters tonight aht Gen. Francisco
Franco might launch the final as-
sault on Madrid Saturday morning
With his advance troops already
only four miles from Madrid proper,
Franco was understood to have made
his decision because of the sudden
cessation of government resistance.
The defenders of Madrid tonight
showed no signs of fighting.
All was quite on the Getafe front
except for a few desultory cannon
shots at nightfall.
At Getafe one fascist line faced
Madrid, and another, around the
abandoned airport, faced the Los An-
geles district.
When the Fascists marched into
;etafe they found only a few women
who with babes in arms crept out of
the cellars where they had huddled
during the bombardment of the vil-
lage by both belligerents.
Many buildings in Getafe were
wrecked and stores and houses were
looted before the Fascists entered.
After the battle it was apparent
that the Fascist final assault on Ma-
drid had been delayed at least one
