$400,000 Offer Is
Given Braddock
To Meet Joe Louis
NEW YORK, Nov. 1l.--P)-Her-
man Taylor, Philadelphia promoter,
tossed a $400,000 offer for Jimmy
Braddock to meet Joe Louis in a 12-
round bout in the Atlantic City Mu-
nicipal auditorium on Feb. 22 into
the heavyweight picture today and
drew a few answering nibbles from
Joe Gould, the champion's manager.
Taylor indicated the proposed At-
lantic city bout need not necessarily
be tagged with a championship label.
Regardless of that fact, however,
Gould, if he accepted, would have to
face not only possible legal action
by the Garden but the wrath of the
New York State Athletic Commission
as well.
The commission definitely has des-
ignated Schmeling as the No. 1
heavyweight challenger.
Shepard Tells
How We May
Prevent Wars
Understanding Of Forces
Working Against Peace
Necessary, He Says
Views on peace expressed by a pro-
fessor and a student, together with a
one-act play on the subject, consti-
tuted a new type of Armistice Day ob-
servation here yesterday.
"Two things are necessary to pre-
vent war," declared Prof. John F.'
Shepard of the psychology depart-
ment, at the meeting in Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre. "It is necessary for
every individual to understand the
forces at work against peace, and it
it necessary that we preserve our civil
liberties so that we can combat these
forces when the crisis comes."
Fred Warner Neal, '37, associate
editor of The Daily, asserted, in the
first of two speeches presented to an
audience estimated at more than 200
persons: "Men talk of economic rea-
sons for war when they mean eco-
nomic excuses. The danger today is,
as great as in 1914. The only hope
of the world appears to be that no
nation has the money with which to
wage war, and that may be one of
the blessings of poverty."
Dramatization of "The Terrible
Meek," directed by Sarah Pierce,
Grad., and acted by Karl Nelson,
Grad., Charles McGraw, Grad., and
Miss Pierce, depicted the blindness
that has led to war through the cen-
turies.
Professor Shepard, speaking "not
merely as a psychologist but as a cit-
izen," said that no ruler has ever
designed a war with the betterment
of his people as a whole in mind. All
wars are for selfish ends, he con-
tended.
"Even the munitions makers don't.
want war," he declared. "They hope
that the arguments will stop just
short of war, but they want the risk.
of war so that they can sell their
products." He contrasted the present
government of Russia and those of
western Europe. The Soviet Union is
the only country in the world which
seeks to build up its undeveloped peo-
ple, as is exampled by their interest'
in the inhabitants of southern Si-
beria. No other government does as'

MADRID, Nov. 12.-(AP)-Fascist!
insurgents launched a desperate at-

bridge toward the University City in
the northwest section of the capital
at 11:20 p.m. (6:20 p.m., E.S.T.) last I
night.
While the rest of the world solemn-;
ly commemorated the end, 18 years

known, Spaniard fought Spaniard for

country's capital city.

Villaverde and Carabanchel.
Government militia, haggard and
weary from six days of almost inces-
ant fighting, plunged into the battle
with their ranks swelled by 4,000
fresh Catalan troops.j
With 40 blocks of the city still
smouldering from incendiary bom-'
bardment the day before, insurgent ,
gunners renewed their shelling of the .
city.
An apartment building in the resi-
dential area near the Segovia bridge
was fired by one shell today; another
struck within yards of the gas works.
On the western Madrid front the
stubborn government forces held off
repeated enemy assaults, cheering'
the defense junta of the city by their
performance under fire.
Fight Up To Infantry
Kipke And Hum phreys Buy Tickets For Friday Night
A Croix de Guerre
Now Brings Only $2
NEW YORK, Nov. 1L.-(IP)-The
story that the World War medals of
glory are a dime-a-dozen now isn't
true.
A real Croix de Guerre sometimes
will bring you $2-that is, in the right
pawnshop-a survey dislcosed today.
And that, pawnshop men agreed,
was on a sentimental basis only.
"The medals have no value as far
as we're concerned, but if a vet came
in with one I'd get him a dollar or two
if he needed it," said Joseph Miller,
one of the loan men.
But if a man who blasted out a
machine gun nest in France didn't
know his pawnshops, he might get
50 cents for his decoration-or even
more likely, nothing.
Said a Bowery pawnshop owner,
"If it hasn't got some kind of pre-
cious metal in it we won't lend a cent
on it."
The Victoria Cross of Great Britain
still comes high. Only 500 of them
were given out.
The highest decoration of the
United States for valor, the Congres-
sional Medal of Honor, likewise is
rare-but one dealer said he disposed
of a congressional medal last year for
$100.

dormitory fund which Gilbert Tilles,
'37, editor of the Gargoyle, and his
committee of students and faculty
members hope will reach $70,000 by
the end of the year.
If their hope is fulfilled, Michigan
will soon have the first section of its
much-needed and long-awaited men's
dormitories.
The girls in the picture were not
kidding the coach and the dean, eith-
er', yesterday when they told them
that everybody will be at the dance
Friday. For, as Tilles puts it, every-
body of importance and most of the
people of no importance are planning
to attend. For one thing, there is no
other dance to go to. Both League
and Union, as well as most frater-
nities and sororities, are closing shop
for the evening. Also the tickets are,
according to' Tilles, "going like hot
cakes." This may be pure dormitory
propaganda, but it is fairly good
propaganda, and The Daily's private
investigation bears it out to a large
extent.
Today you too can have a chance
to get your ticket, although not from
such personable ticket sellers as Mes-l
sers Kipke and Humphries were for-
tunate enough to have. Of course
the boys of Michigamua and Sphinx,
who with tickets in their hands will
hold down strategic posts on the cam-
pus, are all right, but hardly pretty.
The honor society members will sta-
tion themselves in front of Angell
Hall, in front of the Library, in the
Engineering Arch and in front of the
Union.
Incidentally, Kipke said that if the
one ticket was good for the football
team, he would bring it along with
him. Tilles and the Dorm committee
are still debating what course to fol-
low in this regard.

Simmons, University of Iowa football
star who this afternoon announced
he had quite the Hawkeye football
team, late tonight told the Associated'
Press he will report for practice to-
morrow and play against Purdue Sat-

C. M. Updegraff, chairman of the
Iowa board of athletics.
IOWA CITY, Nov. l1.--'P)---Oze
Simmons, University of Iowa Negro
football star, told the Associated Press*
today that he would play no more
football for Iowa. He appeared at
the practice field for a short period
but left soon thereafter.
Head Coach Ossie Solem could not
be reached immediately for comment
concerning the departure of the Ne-
gro ace.
Simmons, leading ground gainer
for the Hawkeye team, said Solem
ordered him to leave the dressing
room last Monday when the football
squad was viewing pictures of the
Iowa-Minnesota game.
Simmons said the head coach or-
dered him to "shut up" when he
attempted to explain some faults in
his (Simmons) blocking during the
Minnesota game.
"I just don't see any reason why
I should apologize. I've played the
best ball I could all season, and Mr.
Solem's criticism just got me down,"
the Fort Worth, Texas, senior said.

A vigorous movement to reorgan-;
ize elections in the literary college1
was begun yesterday by a committee
of nine freshman women.
By 11 p.m. yesterday the unani-
mous support of Mosher Hall and+
Helen Newberry residence had been
obtained for the program, which pro-+
vides for the abolition of all fresh-'
man class offices but Frosh Frolic po-
sitions.+
Fifteen league houses had voted
their support, while only one had re-
fused support of the program. Twen-
ty-three league houses had not yet
made decisions.
Plans for contacting pledge classes
of fraternities and sororities are be-
ing formulated, according to the
committee, and their support will be
sought as soon as possible. Efforts
to contact remaining league houses
and ascertain the position of those
still undecided will be continued to-~
day, according to the committee
members.
Electon Is Orderly
Under the proposed system, a cen-
tral committee consisting of the
Union president, the League presi-
dent, the chairmen of the men's and
women's judiciary bodies, the dean
of students and the dean of women,
will nominate the "five most prom-
ising petitioners" for Frosh Frolic
chairmanship and sub-committee-
ships. Class election will be held
"within three days after the names
of the candidates have been an-
nounced."
All appointments to committee po-
sitions must be made with "the aid
and approval of the central com-
mittee."
Members of the freshman commit-
tee are: Ann Vicary, Alberta Wood,
Janet Crawford, Barbara Day, Lu-
cille Kaner, Elizabeth Titus, Margar-
et Carr, Leigh Bruleson, and Ellen
Krieghoff.
Committee members were indefi-'
nite about their procedure in the
event that their program should re-
ceive popular support.
It was not stated by any members
of the committee whether consent
had been obtained from any of those
officials expected to serve on the cen-
tral committee.
Central Committee Planned
The program adopted by the com-
mittee is as follows:
1) Do away with class officers in
the freshman class of the College of
Literature, Science and the Arts.
a. These offices are merely figure-
heads, desirable only because they
rate a picture in the Michiganensian.
b. These useless positions are used
s spoils by party machines.
2) Substitute a merit system by
which the position of general chair-
man of the Frosh Frolic, and sub-
committee chairman would be chosen.
a. Set up a Central Committee
composed of the president of the
League, the president of the Union,
the chairmen of the men's and wom-
en's judiciary bodies, the dean of
students and the dean of women.
b. Freshmen interested in obtain-
ing a position on these committees
shall submit petitions to the central
committee, which shall interview the
petitioners.
