XLVII No. 63 ' ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DEC. 10, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'Goodfellows' To Give $150 To Hospital's Needy Patients Activities Not Provided For By State Funds To Receive Money Down town Drive Is Headed By Peirsol Additional Subscriptions Flood In, Shoving Total Donations To $270 University Hospital patients were last night added to the groups which will benefit The Daily Goodfellow Fund, when it was announced that $150 will be allotted to provide for small incidentals which tend to com- fort and encourage needy invalids and convalescents. The money will be turned over to Miss Dorothy Ketcham, director of the social service department of the Hospital, and will be used in special fields, such as education, recreation and shop work, which are not provid- ed for by state funds now available1 for medical and surgical care for needy patients.. Specific needs mentioned by Miss Ketcham are new toys, pictures, rec- ords, additional work-shop facilities, and books not only for children but for tuberculosis patients. "$10, $15, to $20 a month devoted to such pur- poses," she said, "would certainly in- crease the happiness, the interest, the welfare and the satisfaction of many individuals." Peirsol Heads Campaign Announcement was also made last night by the Goodfellow Committee that T. Reardon Piersol will direct the downtown campaign which will be held Monday in conjunction with the campus drive. Additional subscriptions flooded in yesterday, shooting the total up to $270, more than half of which was received in cash subscriptions. Goodfellows who yesterday offered their services to the Drive are mem- bers of The Gargoyle business staff, who will aid with the street sale Mon- day, and The Daily composing room staff, who will work all day Sunday publishing The Goodfellow extra. The Gargoyle staff members who will aid in the drive are Bettie I Petrash, John Mitchell, Eleanor Skiles, Marian Stimler, Ruth Steven- anum, Sybil Swartout, Joan Howson, Flora Lewis, Ida Solomon, Martin Wiener, Waldo Abbot, Irving Bauer, James Nichols, Hib Anderson, Seig- man Rodolphe, Kevin Hepp and Richard Beye.

Goodfellow SupportI Welcomed By Bureau All persons interested in the work of the Family Welfare Bu- reau will welcome the support of The Daily in the Goodfellow cam- paign. The experiment undertaken last year, of distributing a share of the proceeds through the Family Welfare Bureau, has proved itself a great success. While this plan does not involve immediate per- sonal contact between donors and beneficiaries, there is every assur- ance that the gifts themselves will be better adjusted to the needs of persons who receive them and that the money spent will go a lot farther. Instead of having a few children, selected more or less at random, as the beneficiaries, it is possible under the present plan to use the money where it will meet the greatest need.

Wilkowski Convictions Reaffirmed By Supreme Court LANSING, Dec. 9.-(0P)-The State Supreme Court today ordered 18 de- fendants in the Detroit recount fraud case sent to prison. The convictions of State Senator Anthony J. Wilkowski, former Dem- ocratic state chairman, Elmer B. O'Hara and sixteen others were af- firmed. The men are under sen- tences ranging from a minimum of four years for Wilkowski and O'Hara down to one year for minor defen- dants. In an opinion signed by six of the eight justices, the court swept aside the contention that the defendants were innocent because there was in reality no recount. In a previous opinion the Supreme Court had ruled the famous 1934 recount was a null- ity because it was not ordered by due process of the legislature. . Today the court held that those. involved had nevertheless tampered with ballots in what they believed was a recount and had conspired to thwart the will of the electorate. The action of the court automa- tically cancels the bonds under which the defendants had been at liberty os soon as they are taken into cus- tody. Jay Mertz, clerk of the court, said those convicted may be appre- hended and committed to prison when formal notification of the Su- preme Court decision has been served upon the recorders' court in Detroit, where the trial was held. Mertz said the formal order will be sent to the Detroit court in a day or two. The only possible recourse for the defendants appeared to be an attempt to throw the case into the federal courts. State attorneys said they could see little chance of such procedure British Plane f Crash Brings Death To 14 CROYDON, England, Dec. 9.-(A) -The most disastrous airliner crash in England's history brought death today to 14 persons aboard a K.L.M. Dutch line passenger ship which ripped the roofs from two houses and fell in flames four minutes after it left the runway at Croydon air- dome enroute to Amsterdam. Three escaped from the twisted wreckage. The air ministry tonight ordered an investigation after the K.L.M. Line announced it did not know the' reason why the ship went down al- most immedsiatlv after th e teff. Sit-Down Strike Hits Employer. More Than Walkout, Riegal Says Labor's Newest Weapon S t o p s Strikebreaking, Prevents Violence By SAUL KLEIMAN Labor's newest weapon, the sit- down strike, which cropped up afresh Tuesday, tying up bus service in eastern Michigan, was characterized last night by Prof. John -Riegel of the bureau of industrial relations as a coercive force which makes the employer suffer just as much the economic effects of a strike as the employe. Under the walkout scheme, where workers vacate the factory and pick- et outside, Professor Riegel pointed out, the employer was frequently able. to continue -operations by hiring "scabs."E "Employers might be amenable;" ! he said, "to bringing strikebreakers' through picket lines in a walk-out strike, since if a battle occurs it takes place on the streets, but the sit- clown strike transfers the scene of the strike from the street to the in-i side of the plant. "Here the presence of valuable machinery proves a strong deterrent to any tactics that might provoke violence," he added. The occupancy of plants has suc- ceeded, where picket lines have failed, to make a strike purely an economic matter, Professor Riegel declared. Formerly, he pointed out, when' strikers prevented the continuance of production by such means as lying down on the sidewalks to destroy ac- cess to the plant, the employer could resort to law and with an injunction and the help of police or militia get his factory running again. But in a sit-down strike, injunc- tions against picketing are useless, and so far, he said, no other political means have been used in order to re- open operations. The "strike of the folded arms" originated many decades ago in France, but the technique is com- paratively new for the United States, Professor Riegel said. "The first sit-down strike of any consequence was that at the Good- year Tire and Rubber Co. plant dur- ing the early part of this year," he said. It was followed by a sit-down strike at the Bendix auto parts plant in South Bend which was settled two weeks ago, and by the strike settled last week at the Midland Steel Pro- ducts Co. in Detroit. Nov. NYA Payments To Exceed $20,000 National Youth Administration checks for November have arrived, according to Prof. Lewis M. Gram, di- rector of the projects here. A total of $20,095.98 will be distributed to 1368 graduates and undergraduates. Checks may be called for from the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the University Storehouse and each stu- dent must call for his own check. Assignmenu cards are necessary. Checks not called for after a rea- sonable length of time will be re- turned to Lansing, according to Pro- fessor Gram, who stressed the point that each student must work all the hours allotted him. Lansing Slayer Under Scrutiny Of Sanity Board1 Hope Morgan's Examiners Review Two Reasons For Murder Of Chum EAST LANSING,, Mich., Dec. 9.- (I)-The mental quirk that led 25- year-old Hope Morgan, fearful of losing her sanity. to kill her college chum and confidante came under scrutiny of a court-appointed sanity commission tonight. Before two psychiatrists named to examine her were dual explanations of why she shot and killed Elizabeth Giltner, 25, bride-elect and daughter of a Michigan State College dean, as they addressed wedding invitations yesterday. First was her story to Dr. Lemoyne M. Snyder, state police medical ad- viser, that "I've had the lust to kill since October of last year," and that "suddenly I looked up and stared at Bessie. Then that feeling came over me." A member of the Giltner family pointed out nearly all members of the girls' social set had been married, and that Hope Morgan "knew the marriage would leave her as the last of the group. She may have felt in- tensely alone." There also was a background of family tragedy. Miss Morgan's 18- year-cld brother died after a fall that broke his back two years ago, Her mother died a year later. The slim, attractive relief admin- istration stenographer, dressed en- tirely in black for her court appear- ance, stood mute before Circuit Judge Leland W. Carr today. She heard him direct a. plea of innocent and ap- point the sanity commission before she was returned to the Ingham County jail. If Dr. Earl I. Carr and Dr. Carl E. Bradford find her insane, Prose- cutor Dan D. McCullough said, she will be committed to a state hospital; otherwise her trial will be held be- fore Jan. 11, 1937. Their findings are expe :ted to be submitted to Judge Carr late next week. Flint Transit Strikers Slow Holiday Trade FLINT, Dec. 9.-O")-Refusing to arbitrate their demands for a wage increase, striking motor bus and: Flint trolley coach operators stood their ground tonight, hindering re- tail Christmas trade and inconven- iencing commuters in the Detroit metropolitan area. A strike committee, asked to meet with officials of Eastern Michigan Motorbuses, Flint Trolley Coaches, Inc., and the Flint City Commission, asserted there would be no arbitra- tion on its part. Politics Believed Cause Of Crisis GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 9.- ()-Abdication of King Edward would be the "greatest disaster" that could befall Great Britain, the Hon. Agnes McPhail, member of the Ca- nadian Parliament, declared here today. Speaking before a women's club audience, she declared the real issue is not the dispute over Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson but that the love match had merely brought the dis-. pute into the open. Debate Teams Open Big Ten Season Here Purdue, Ohio State Are First Opponents; Meet Here And At Columbus The University of Michigan debat- ing teams raise the curtain on their 1936 Big Ten Conference schedule tonight when they encounter the Purdue and Ohio State teams at Ann Arbor and Columbus respectively. The Michigan affirmative team, composed of Robert Rosa, '39, Ronald Freedman, '39, and Harry L. Shni- derman, '38, will meet Purdue at 8 p.m. in the Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre on the question, "Resolved: That All Electric Utilities Should Be Governmentally Owned and Op- erated." The construction speeches will be 10 minutes in length, while each con- testant will be allowed 4 minutes for rebuttal. The single critic judge is Prof. Kenneth G. Hance, chairman of the speech department at Albion College. The Michigan negative team com- posed of Marvin Reider, '39, Nathan- iel Holtzman, '39, and William A. Centner, '38, speaking in that order, leaves this morning for Columbus, to debate the same question with Ohio State. Prof. Carl G. Brandt- emphasized that these debates are open to the public and no admission will be charged. Madrid Awaits Fascist A.ttak In Bitter Cold MADRID, Dec. 9.-(P)-Madrid's once-happy populace settled down tonight to a fearful wait for the long-expected renewal of the Fascist attack as bitter winds blew in from the snow-clad Guadarrama Moun- tains. Fifteen government planes bombed advanced Fascist positions on the Casa De Campo, west of the city, and badly damaged the insurgent supply base at Campamento de Reta- mares. Twenty-three Fascist ships retaliated by pouring projectiles on the Barajas airport and government entrenchments along the Manza- nares River. Government batteries pounded away at some Fascist positions just inside or on the edge of the city, but there was no important shift in the positions of the two forces. The warning blast of winter from the Guadarramas brought new hard- ships to the Madrilenos, who sought what protection was available in poorly heated rooms, many of them with insufficient clothing. The British embassy made final preparations for the evacuation early tomorrow of 70 refugees to London and Gibraltar through Alicante, East Coast city still in government hands. I Announcement Of Ruler's Renunciation Expected From Baldwin Today 'Grave' Declaration Is Set For 9:45 A.M. Wally's Offer To Drop From Life Of Edward Still Holds,_Lawyer Says BALTIMORE, Dec. 9.-AP)-The Baltimore Sun says in a dispatch from Phillip Wagner, head of its Lon- don Bureau that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin will announce to- morrow the abdication of King Ed- ward. "When Mr. Baldwin rises tomor- row," the Sun says, "he will an- nounce an act unprecedented in his- tory-the voluntary renunciation of the throne by a British sovereign." The Sun says "it can be stated con- fidently" that the Duke of York will be the successor, probably as George VI. LONDON, Dec. 10.-(Thursday)- (AP)-The British public early today was prepared forabdication of Ed- ward VIII as the hour approached for the expected announcement in Commons of his historic choice be- tween his throne and Wallis Warfield Simpson. Final decision still rested with the King, but there was no indication as morning wore on that the Monarch had made any move to forestall the "grave" declaration which Baldwin was to make before Parliament when it meets at 2:45 p.m. (9:45 a.m. East- ern Standard Time). Abdication Only Solution Unless the Monarch at the eleventh hour contrives some hitherto unex- plained plan to retain both Britain's throne and the twice-divorced wom- an he would marry, many sections of the British press and officialdom ex- pressed belief abdication was his only solution. The unofficial concensus of Parli- ment was that the deadlock between the King and his ministers over Mrs. Simpson still was unbroken, and that the government will deliver what it considers an ultimatum demanding his decision when the halls of Par- liament open in the afternoon. Edward himself apparently re- mained alone with his thoughts in heavily-guarded Fort Belvedere, where he and Mrs. Simpson enjoyed so many care-free hours and where he has remained throughout the crisis caused by a King's love for a twice-divorced commoner. He was up well past midnight af- ter a day of momentous conferences with his ministers-a day of grave- faced conferences with his family and a poignant visit of the sorrow- ing Queen Mary to bid her son what many considered her farewell to the boy who became England's King. Newspapers See Abdication The London Daily Mail carried a bannerline : "Abdication Feared Today." This and other sudden acts of the principals in the drama of empire and a woman caused widespread ap- prehension that abdication of Ed- ward VIII was at least a possibility, but if a decision had been made it was still a closely-guarded official secret. Sir John Simon, home secretary, Walter Monckton, the King's per- sonal legal advisor, and Dominion Secretary Malcolm MacDonald were closeted with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin earlier in the momentous evening. They came fresh from an hour's cabinet session in a private chamber of the House of Commons where in the afternoon Baldwin had held out !"hope" that he would have a state- (Continued on Page 2) Koussevitsky To Lead Boston Symphony In Concert Tonioht Under the direction of Dr. Serge T Koussevitsky the Boston Symphony To Lead Orchestra Orchestra of 110 musicians will pre-- sent the fifth Choral Union concert: of the season at 8:15 p.m. today in, Hill Auditorium.
