Blakeman, coun- selor of religion, Prof. John Tracy of the law school, Prof. Howard B. Calderwood of the political science department, and Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department, yesterday urged all students to at- tend the peace program. Tickets at 25 cents each will be available at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office from 1 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. today, it was an- nounced last night by Julian Orr, '36, president of the Peace Council. "It is up to the students of Ameri- ca to lead the way toward world peace," said Dr. Blakeman yesterday. "The audience at the Peace- Council program will find a new type of Ar- mistice Day observation-dedicated not to the glorification of past wars but to peace.'' Three Parties In Freshmen Election Joust Preparations for the coming fresh- man elections are well under way, and three parties, Independent, State Street and Washtenaw are making preparations to boom their candi- dates. The State Street freshman party met last night at the Union and ap- proved a platform embodying full support of the proposed dormitories. The party also plans to promote in- terest in the sophomore-freshman games and cap night. Plans for a Frosh Frolic were also discussed. At a meeting of the freshman In- dependent Party of the College of L. S. and A. last night, it was de- cided that the party would mainly support the issues upheld by the sophomore Independents in their re- cent election. Their platform calls for a social program suitable for all students, cooperative eating and rooming houses, a book-store and full cooperation with the dormitory com- mittee in'any prpjects supporting the dormitory movement. All Indepen- dents were asked to attend a meeting at 7 p.m. today in Lane Hall Audi- torium. The Washtenaw Party held a cau- cus last night and is keeping its plans secret for the coming week. Belgium Will Pause To Respect War Dead BRUSSELS, Nov. 10.- (P)-The government and the people of little Belgium, historic battlegrounds of European armies, made ready tonight to pause in tribute tomorrow to the country's World War dead. King Leopold, in a simple but sol- emn ceremony, is scheduled to confer the fire-cross on the unknown sol- dier who lies buried at the foot of the Congress Column in the Rue Royale. A civilian parade and a military one are to mark the ceremony be- ginning shortly after 10 a.m. New Era In Modern Industries, PhysicsIs Seen By Dr. Randall Permanent Council Set Up To Correlate Efforts Of Two Units By WILLIAM SHACKELTON The beginning of a new epoch in the science of physics and in modern industry was foreseen yesterday by Prof. Henry M. Randall, head of the physics department, as a result of a1 meeting of the American Institute of f Physics in New York, attended byf Professor Randall. Complete belief in the necessity fr using the methods of physics was evi- denced by the representatives of in-, dustrial concerns R mattended the Institute, Professor Randall report- ed. A willingness to collaborate to the fullest extent in thedevelopment of professional research physicists was likewise expressed, he added. As an initial step in the direction o correlating the efforts of physics and industry, a permanent council; has been set up with members drawn, from industrial and and university Band Dazzles East With Brilliant And' Unique Maneuvers The University of Michigan Band made a definite impression in the East on their Philadelphia trip, ac- cording to reports from papers ini that section. W The Philadelphia Public Evening Ledger carried pictures of the key- ' stone formation and base' player John Houdek, '385M, and the story' about the bottle formation, saying "Michigan's band went into bottle formation, pulling the cork and pour- ing 'Penn.' right out of the neck. A big band of double-stepping musi- cians, Michigan outgamed the Qua- ker musicians." An excerpt from a story in the New York Sunday Times declares, "The 110-piece Michigan band was by all means the best thing seen in the East this year. Musically and tactically it put on a great show. Its piece- le-resistance between the halves was a firecracker number that exploded into a huge keystone with a "P" in the center. The band could march, spell and play stirring music while its drum major performed juggling prodigies with his baton and the leader maneuvered his men by re- i volver signals." The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin' carried a picture of the Band stand-' ing at attention and declared: "If the Maize and Blue had any edge in the first half, it had to be from their band. It put on a between-halves demonstration that showed it had a bag full of formations." Arch Ward, in his Monday issue of his "Talking It Over" column, de- scribed the firecracker formation in great detail and declared it to be! "unique." Complications A re Foreseen In Dock Strike No Statements By Officials Are Issued: Alaska And Hawaii Short On Food SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10.-(P)- Complications threatened today to swamp the government's new peace efforts in the maritime strike while the walkout further extended its strangle-hold on American shipping. Assistant Secretary of Labor E. F. McGrady met with a group of ship- owners to arrange a resumption of projected peace negotiations with the unions but left the conference with- out making a'statement. A spokesman for the Federal Mari- time Commission, which recessed its strike inquiry to give the right-of- way to the peace negotiations, indi- cated it was planning to resume hear- ings Thursday. Fresh food shortages grew in Alas- ka and Hawaii. Honolulu strikers refused to sail seven ships homeward unless prom- ised concessions which employers said were "out of the question." The im- passe there caused Governor Joseph B. Poindexter to ask McGrady's aid, saying the tieup left 1,729 additional persons to feed from diminishing fresh food supplies. Federal officers encountered a new obstacle to execution of a court order to discharge a $10,000 banana cargo from a strikebound ship at Los An- geles. laboratories. Prof. O. S. Duffendack served on the committee which for- mulated a program for the physi- cists, while Professor Randall has been made a member of the perma- nent council. Representatives from Columbia, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania S t a t e, Minnesota and Cornell are also in- cluded in the council. In these provisions for the applica- tion of laboratory physics to indus- try and in the attitude of the indus- trialists toward physics, Professor Randall saw a development whose importance should not be minimized. As an immediate effect, it is now be- coming possible for universities to prepare their students muchdbetter for eventual entrance into industry. Qualifications which business heads expect to find in graduate physicists will be the first problem with which the permanent council and cooperat- ing scientists will deal. These indus- trial requirements have been met for some time by the University physics department in preparing its students, Professor Randall found from the opinions of industrial physicists at the Institute. Also, Professor Randall pointed out, the University's department has long been actively interested in research on industrial problems and for many years has prepared at least half of its students for industrial work. The, outstanding conviction appar- ent in both university and industrial representatives at the Institute meet- ing, Professor Randall concluded, was that a period of rapid expansion in industrial research in commencing with all laboratories due for great expansion, and establishment of new ones to be the policy of organizations not yet so equipped. Soviet Schools Give Reliance, Says Mrs. Reed Emphasizes Education Is For People; Acquaints Them With The Modern Soviet Union education, which has. given "the world a youth which is not acquisitive," was last night described in its coordination with Soviet farms and factories by Ferdinanda W. Reed, authority and author on Russia, in the Unitarian Church. Nearly 100 persons attended the lecture, which was sponsored by the Student Alli- ance. Mrs. Reed emphasized that Soviet Russian schools "are for the people. There are no private schools in So- viet Russia. This system of educa- tion is for all the children of all the people." Education in Soviet Union begins for the Russian child when he is two years old, she said. He is instructed in the methods of personal care and resultantly taught self-reliance. Six months later he is instructed in social responsibility in individual relation- ship. Every effort is made by the Soviet Union, Mrs. Reed explained, to ac- quaint the Russian youth with mod- ern machine methods. By frequent visitsmto nearby factories, farms and Russian engineeing feats, nursery school students become acquainted with science, although they are too young to accurately comprehend ma- chinery. The purpose of this plan, Mrs. Reed said, is to instill curiosity, a desire for knowledge, in Russian youth early- As they are promoted in school, Russian students become more ac- quainted with the work of their par- ents and of their nation when they assist in the manufacture and farm- ing. At the age of seven or eight |years, school children make axe, hammer, hoe and scythe handles for collectivized farms. Later, Mrs. Reed said, they make metal objects, and complementarily learn of the origin and composition of metals, subjects (Continued on Page 6) Lawrence Quits Post As State Banking Head LANSING, Nov. 10.-(4P)-Howard C. Lawrence, anticipating Democratic threats to fire him as soon as the new administration takes office in January, resigned today as State banking commissioner, effective De- cember 31. Frank Murphy, Democratic gov- ernor-elect, had announced that one F. D. R. Claims No New Taxes To Be Needed Possibility Of Increased Relief Work Allotments Is Seen By President Change In Corporate Taxing Is' Unlikely NYA, CCC, May Combine With Other Departments And Be Perpetuated WASHINGTON, -Nov. 10.-)- President Roosevelt reiterated today an expectation that no additional taxes would be necessary to run the Federal government the next fiscal year, but said a supplemental ap- propriation to bolster current work relief funds might have to be asked. of Congress. Discussing government finances at a press conference, the chief execu- tive said while budget officials had not as yet estimated total receipts for 1937-38, he believedxthe govern- ment could operate next year with- out raising taxes or adding new ones. Asked about the possibility of mod- ifying the undistributed earnings tax enacted at the last session, he said that would be up to the congressional committees. Changes Not To Affect 1936 Further questioning developed an offhand forecast that any changes in the corporate tax structure would not apply to 1936 profits. The govern- ment needed the money too much to permit any concession of that kind, the President said. He asserted the unforeseen drain on the $1,425,000,000 work relief funds for drought aid probably would re- quire an additional appropriation to carry on the job-giving program un- til June 30. The White House press interview was- one of the longest in months. questions on a score or more of sub- jects were fired at the chief execu- tive in rapid succession, ranging from inaugural plans to constitutional amendments. The President dressed in a light gray suit with pin stripes and smok- ing his customary cigarette in a long yellow holder, was surrounded by more than 100 newspapermen in his oval private office. Maritime Strike Watched He said he still was keeping a watchful eye on the maritime strike and expected to make no shifts in the diplomatic service for the present. Discussing a conference with. Rex- ford G. Tugwell, resettlement ad- ministration chief, the President said the question of making this agency a permanent one by transferring it to some existing or new department was discussed. Further questions brought a state- ment that other agencies, such as the National Youth Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps, probably would be made permanent by having them absorbed into some department. He explained the use of the term new department by saying the three congressional and presidential com- mittees now studying reorganization of the Federal set up may recommend some consolidations and that the whole question would await the re- port of these committees. Senior Class To Designate HeadsToday Potential '37 Graduates Will Cast Their Ballots In NearlyAll Schools Dewey, Ayres, Meet In Literary School United Engineers Battle Independents; K r a u s, Collatz Head Tickets Senior classes in practically every school on the campus will hold elec- tions this afternoon as the potential graduates of '37 gather to cast their ballots for the year's officers. State Street and Washtenaw par- ties will clash as usual in the literary school with Tom Ayres heading the latter slate and Al Dewey the former. Washtenaw has named as the rest of its slate: Betty King, vice-presi- dent, Beth Turnbell, secretary, and Jack Porter, treasurer. The State Street nominees opposed to these are: Betty Wills, vice-president, Vir- ginia Callon, secretary, and Arnold Gross, treasurer. In the engineering school the Unit- ed Engineers will battle it out at the polls with the Independent Engineers. On the first slate are: president, Paul Krans, vice-president, Rod Eshelman, secretary, Clarence Green, and treas- urer, Stan Crook; also Bob Osgood for the honor council and Cedric Sweet as engineering council representative. The Independent Engineers offer: Gustav Collatz, president, Don Hil- lier, vice-president, William Olson, secretary, and Kenneth Emery, treasurer. Dave Eisendrath is their nominee for the engineering council and Bob Baldwin for the honor coun- cil. Elections' will also be held in the education, pharmacy, architecture, business administration, and forestry schools. according to Miller Sher- wood, '37, president of the Men's Council. All elections will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. today, Sherwood announced and identification cards will be es- sential for identification. Literary stucdnts will use voting machines and the campaigning will be governed by the rules printed in yesterday's Daily. Here are the des- ignated polls for each school: Lit- erary, Room 231 Angell Hall; educa- tion, Room 2436; engineering school, Room 308; pharmacy, Room 300 Chemistry Building; architecture, Room 101, Architecture Building; business administration, 110 Tappan Hall; forestry, Room, 2039 Natural Science Building. Girl Cheer Leaders Still May Be Ladies ALBANY, N. Y., Nov 10-(,-P)-A girl can be a cheer leader and still be a lady, Walter A. Cox, director of health education in Albany public schools, said today. This exuberant pursuit, he added, gives girls a "chance to express them- selves and trains them in leadership. Cheer-leading, is ladylike and mod- ern. I can see no reason why some of the mid-western educators are frowning upon it." Cox did not say specifically who had been frowning. 11O'Clocks, As Usual, Is Answer To Students A member of The Daily staff with a flair for statistics figured that at least 100 students called up last night to ask the question: "Will there be classes tomorrow from 11 to 12 o'clock?" So many were the calls that a sophomore was named Armistice Day Editor, and was kept running from one telephone to another to explain that no, there would be no let-up in the usual daily routine. After he had given out positive in- formation on the subject to a half- hundred hopefuls and heard the hope die from their voices, he began to wonder if he had the right dope him self. He began to perspire all of a sudden. He grapped a nearby tele- phone, called Dean Bursley. "That's right," he said. "There'll be classes all day." He sat down and mopped his brow. Sororities Vo te To Continue New RushingPeriod l Plan To Lay Off Pledging Until Second Semester Rejected By All Houses B HELEN DOUGLAS Eleven out of 18 campus sororities yesterday voted in favor of a contin- uation of the new three-week rushing period put into effect for the first time this fall while a plan to defer rushing until the second semester was opposed by all houses submitting opinion. All but three of the sororities fa- vored the new system which consists of three weeks of formal rushing in- stead of the two week period used in former years. The present system calls for dinners held every other night for three weeks with a luncheon on each Saturday. The old plan had a dinner on every night of the week in the formal rushing period., Longer Time Favored The sororities in favor of the new system are Alpha Chi Omega, Alpha Epsilon Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Phi, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma and Zeta Tau Alpha. The three houses opposed to the three-week period are Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Sig- ma Sigma. Gamma Phi Beta is as yet undecided and three other sor- orities, Collegiate Sorosis, Delta Gamma and Pi Beta Phi, are not yet willing to give their opinions. Reasons for the approval of the new system were the longer oppor- tunity to become acquainted with the rushees, less tension involved, the breathing spell between the dinners and the chance to study during the formal rushing period. The sororities which voted against the new plan did so because they thought they were only three weeks behind in their school work instead of two and that they can know the rushees well enough in the shorter period. One of the sororities voted that rushing was such an ordeal that it should be completed in as short a time as possible. Deferred Rushing Taboo Every house which submitted a ver- dict on the deferred rushing plan voted against it. The plan postpones all forms of rushing to the second semester when the formal rushing period would be put into effect. Four of the sororities have asked for a longer time to discuss the question in their house meetings before express- ing their opinions. The possibility of "dirty rushing" during the first semester is the rea- son for the disapproval shown by the sorority votes. All opinions have been received in answer to a survey being conducted by The Daily. } j m mi*~ ttng n Bombs Rain Into Madrid, Bu~t Loyalists holdCapital~ Fascist Bomber, Piloted By German, Surrenders To Defenders Planes Strafe City With Machine Guns GoVernment Men Retain Hold On Trenches And Push BackBeseigers WITH THE SPANISH FASCIST ARMY OUTSIDE MADRID, Nov. 10. -(A)-Fascist soldiers returning to the rear today stated the Insurgents had reached Pasco Delas Delicias within Madrid's southern limits in the face of terrific resistance. Officials at headquarters, however, said they were unable to confirm that any Insurgent troops had crossed the Manzanares River into the capital. Gen. Francisco Franeo's big guns continued to attempt to dislodge the socialists from the Parque del Oeste (West Park) in the western quarter. Fascists admitted they were en- gaged in the hardest fight of the civil war, even exceeding the fury of the battle for Irun on the North Coast. Air fleets from both sides repeated- ly bombed the positions of thpir re- spective enemies. MADRID, Nov. 10.-(P)-Fascist airplanes dumped forty explosive and incendiary bombs on the defenders of Madrid today, rocking wide sections of the capital in the heaviest aerial bombardment the inhabitants have experienced. Dozens of shells raked the capital. Blasted from their narrow trenches time after time by the big guns and airplanes, the ragged workers' armies cluhg to the capital's edges-even pushed ,back the besiegers from the gates and bridges. Three giant bombers speeding low, protected by 15 swift pursuit planes, roared over the city before dusk, then dived on government forces near the Toledo bridgehead. Bombs Shake Madrid Huge clouds of smoke and debris rose skyward as the successive deto- nations shook Madrid. Again the planes dived, their ma- chine-gunners pouring lead on the shallow government trenches fring- ing the city. One of the attacking planes was shot down, the government reported. A German pilot of another fascist bomber, officials said, landed at Al- cala de Henares and surrendered to the government. The trenches west of the city's gates were evacuated repeatedly dur- ing today's bombardment, but the militiamen swarmed back into them as soon as the planes sped away. Government infantry, sweeping to within 500 yards of the 'Toledo gate and Angel bridge last night, said they had pushed back their attackers on the south a distance of two miles from the bridge. Furious fighting, however, raged today in Casa Del ( Campo, the great preserve west of the city. Newspaper Wrecked -The Montana barracks were under heavy fire as dozens of shells fell in the city throughout the day. One large projectile hit in the Plaza de Espana, while another wrecked the "Ahora" newspaper plant. The effect of the aerial and artil- lery bombardment of government ' trenches was disastrous, leading ob- servers to believe that the final at- tack on the entrances to Madrid's streets tonight was but a matter of hours. The panorama of the battle at Ma- drid's gates could be seen plainly through field glasses atop Madrid's taller buildings. Off to one side a Moorish cavalry regiment stood paised as if impatient for the final order to attack Madrid's gates. Shrapnel burst all around them. Resistance Stubborn * New Keynote Of Simplicity Marks War Monuments, Says Hammet By ROBERT MITCHELL War memorials of the various na- tions of the world which today will be the centers of Armistice Day cere- monies in tribute to the soldiers of the Great War, were described yes- terday in an interview by Prof. Ralph W. Hammett of the College of Archi- tecture. "Memorials of the last war," Pro- fessor Hammett said, "differed from those of any preceding war in that they were not extravagant triumphal arches and victory monuments erect- ed by the victors, but instead were erected more in a spirit of tribute to those whose lives were sacrificed in the war. "There seemed to be a spirit among the combatant peoples after the war, especially among the Americans and English, to forget what they had been through. They built doughboy separate cenotaph at Whitehall in London, while the United States has the Arlington Memorial Amphithe- atre, in front of which the Unknown Soldier now rests. Then, too, many of the unknown soldiers of other countries have been placed in some previous national shrine, he explained. The French, for example, placed their unknown soldier beneath the Arch of Triumph, the English, theirs in Westminster Abbey, and the Italians theirs at the base of the equestrian statue of Victor Emanuel. The tomb of America's unknowr soldier, Professor Hammett said, is among the most beautiful. It is or the steps of the Arlington Memorial Amphitheatre in Arlington Cemetery, overlooking Washington and the Po- tomac. The approach to it is up a gentle slope between two widely sep- arated rows of beeches, thirty feet high, flanking the way up to the steps z 1~ Dec.11 As Date Of Soph Prom Plans are under way for the Soph prom. The committee met last night at the Union and set the date for Dec. 11. The orchestra is being chosen from a group of nationaly known bands including George 01- son, Herbie Kay, and Orvil Knapp. David Drysdale, Delta Kappa Epsi- lon, chairman, appointed committee heads to discharge the duties of the prom officers. Robert Vander Pyl, Theta Chi, was chosen as financial chairman to handle expenses and publicity.

The clamor of battle rolled over the city, now jammed with reinforce- ments from other battle areas.
