XLVII No. 66 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, DEC. 13, 1936 PRICE FIVE CENT$ Chiang Seized By Rebellious Chinese Army Foriner Warlord Wants Manchuria Restored; Urges War With Japan Demands'Chinese Rise Up In Arms SHANGHAI Dec. 13.--(Sunday)-- W)-Chinese authorities unreservedly admitted today Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was being held prisoner at Sian-Fu as a result of a military re- bellion in the Shensi provincial cap- ital. TOKYO, Dec. 13.-(Sunday)-(P) -Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, hitherto all-powerful military and administifative head of the Chinese state, was a prisoner today at Sian- Fu, capital of Shensi Province, of mutinous troops commanded by Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang, one- time warlord of Manchuria, said Do- mei (Japanese) News agency dis- patches from Shanghai and Nan- king. Domei said the Chinese foreign of- fice at Nanking officially admitted that the Generalissimo was "de- tained" by mutineers. With him were captured several of his highest gen- erals. Return Of Sun-Yat-Sen Ideas General Chang, leader of the up- rising, said Domei, issued a circular telegram demanding, first, immediate military operations against Japan; second, restoration of Manchuria to China; third, re-acceptance by the Chinese government of the policy of the late Sun Yat-Sen, "Father of the Chinese Revolution," of recognizing communism. He issued a proclamation calling the nation to join him in a war against Japan. With the executive Yuan of the Nanking government in emergency session to deliberate after the crisis. and a state of alarm declared throughout the country, the govern- ment refused to accept these demands until General Chiang was released. 'To Regain Manchuria' Marshal Chang was ruler of Man- churia's four provinces until the Jap- anese army in 1931 drove him from his domain and established therein the "independent state" of Manchou- kuo under Japanese protection. Re- cently he has been in command of forces in Northwestern China operat- ing against Chinese communist con- centrations in Northern Shensi and Kansu provinces. Marshal Chang has vowed to regain Manchuria for China before he died, friends have said. The mutineers' demands, as set; forth in Marshal Chang's circular telegram, were transmitted to the central government at Nanking through the Shensi provincial gov- ernment. (Chinese government censorship ordinarily does not prevent commu- nication between Shanghai and To- kyo, since Japanese government and other facilities operate outside Chinese control). Ireland Recognizes Ascent Of George' DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Dec. 12. -(A:)--The Irish Free State acknowl- edged the accession of George VI to the throne of the British Common- wealth today after declaring his power in Irish affairs was limited to representing Ireland abroad. Frank Fahy, speaker of the Dail' Eireann-the Free State parliament --signed a bill recognizing the abdi- cation of Edward VIII and the en- thronement of his brother, a measure which President Eamon De Valera shoved through parliament. The fact that it was the speaker who signed the act into law sym- bolized the loosening of ties with Great Britain. Yesterday the king's representative, the governor-general, who would normally have signed the bill, was removed under a hurried- ly-enacted change in the Free State ccnstitution.

Youth Hostelers Plan 30 Inns For Michigan Hikers, Cyclists Ann Arbor Will Be Focal Point Of State Route; $6,000 Is Needed Young hikers, cyclists and canoe- ists will find a chain of informal inns where they may spend the night in Michigan this summer. The Amer- ican Youth Hostelers plan to have established 30 such stopping places in the intervening months, with Ann Arbor as one of the focal points along the route. The purpose of the A.Y.H. is to pro- vide nightly accommodations at 25 cents a person, and food at cost to hikers. Hostels are set up at points along a planned loop through coop- eration of educational and religious organizations and service clubs. First In Germany An old farm house, repaired, has1 miany times been turned into such an inn. In summer, college dormitories serve the purpose, and at certain places rooms have been supplied in conjunction with tourist homes. The hostels after having been established, are self-supporting, and are adminis- tered by a local committee of the organization. Problems of raising the $6,000 need- ed to inaugurate the plan in Mich- igan will be discussed Saturday, Dec. 19. in Lane Hall, when local members of a committee named at a meeting Dec. 1 in the Highland Park Y.W.C.A. meet with Isabel and Monroe Smith, who are returning to the East after a cross-country speaking tour. They are the founders of the plan in New England. The plan was first adopted in Germany in 1910 and has since spread to 19 European countries. Beban In Massachusetts Prof. George G. Ross of the land- scape design department has been made chairman of the committee in charge of Michigan which is desig- nated as Region 2 in the A.Y.H. Others cn the committee are Dr. Mar-i garet Bell, director of physical educa- tion for women, Arthur G. T. Cour- teau, Highland Park, Howard Brown, Detroit, Zeta Barbour of the Univer- sity Hospital, Juston Cline, '37, andI Miriam Hall, '37.

Accompanied by members of a so- cial security commission selected by Governor-Elect Murphy of Michi- gan, Dr. Haber conferred with Arthur Altmeyer, member of the social se- curity board and executives of the research staff. 3 Faiths' Ideas Of Utopia Told This Afternoon Confucian, Christian And Jewish Views On Ideal Society To Be Outlined Students of Far Eastern faiths of Jewish, Catholic and Protestant tra- ditions will convene from 3 until 5 p.m. today in the Grand Rapids Room of the League in a symposium to hear three speakers present the out- looks of their religions on ideal so- cieties. Rabbi Bernard Heller, director of Hillel Foundation, will give the"Jew- ish, Dr. Yuen Z. Chang, visiting lec- turer in English, the Confucian, and Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the his- tory department, the Christian view- point of "Blueprints for Utopia." Inquiry Into Ethics These presentations are to be given by "studious believers rather than objective critics," according to Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, counselor in religious education. The plan of the Inter-faith Symposium is projected as "a sympathetic and reverent in- quiry into the question of how social movements, ethical codes, family cus- toms, race relations, and political systems have been influenced by the basic ideas of the various religions and how the religions in turn have been influenced by those forces," he said. Michigan Tops M.S.C., 34-21; Has'Off'Night 7,250 See Spartans Stop Wolverines In First Half Only To Fall .Back Later Townsend Scores High With 12 Points By RAY GOODMAN Despite the ball-hawking of Capt. Ronnie Garlock and the ravages of an "off" night, the Michigan basket- ball team outplayed a Michigan State five last night at Yost Field House by a 34-to-21 score for its second straight victory of this season. A crowd of 7,250 persons saw the Spartans emphasize their defense to such a degree that they stopped the Varsity for one half only to find their offense useless ad drop behind in the second period before the basket- shooting ,of Jakt Townsend and a superior Wolverin team. Townsend I High Scorer Last week afte Michigan had de- feated Michigan *ormal, 61 to 12, in he opener, Ben an AlstyneMich- igan State's wary oach, said that he just hoped his boys looked good. He didn't see how they could win. Well, he should be satisfied for they fol- lowed his instructions well and kept the Varsity in hot water for 30 min- utes of the ball game. Van Alstyne had his guards drop- ping in on Townsend, and Howard Kraft, who covered Jake, playing the ball rather than his man. Such tac- ics were inevitable. If Van Alstyne hadn't used them, someone else would have. The result was that the Mich- igan screen plays couldn't get going and Townsend scored more than a third of his team's points despite the fact that he didn't shoot as often as he might have. Neither team was hitting. The Wol- verines were disgracefully weak at the foul line, hitting but six of 18 at- tempts and the upstaters weren't much better, connecting caly five times out of 13 chances. M.S.C. Hawks Ball Michigan State tried everything to stop Michigan from winning its third straight cage victory overthem, but didn't have enough. Van Alstyne's bcys were after every loose ball and, despite theghandicap of height, they were strong on the backboard play, and showed that they had been well- c ached for the Wolverines' tip-off plays. But the Lansing team couldn't get through the Michigan defense often enough to keep pace with the Var- sity's scoring ability and when it did get through it was forced to take its shots so fast that the players couldn't get set. The Michigan team, on the other continued on Page 7) Church Topics Today Stress Yuletide Spirit Music And Art Emphasis To Be Used To Portray Christmas Theme Emphasis on music and art will bring to flower the colorful spirit of Christmas in Ann Arbor church services today. Unique in its portrayal of the Christmas theme by means of the dance, poetry and music, the Uni- tarian Church offers a program in- spired, according to the Rev. H. P. Marley, by a belief that religious art today must be an expression of the' modern spirit rather than a survival The church must be experimental in the sense of discovering new truth and creating new symbols of beauty to represent this new experience, Mr. Marley said. In accord with the belief that just as art needs religion in the sense of some universal ethical content, re- ligion needs art, in the sense of beauty, he explained, the twilight service at 5 p.m. will be conducted in a setting of brilliant lighted chancel trees and carols; the program itself will have three distinct sections, an- cient, medieval and modern. Part one, called Genesis and Rev- elation will deal with the universal idea of motherhood and the birth ofI a new religion. The second part will be that of Messiahhood or the tra-! ditional belief of Christianity. Thr e f ach chorales will furnish the music fo r interpreting the atoning character of Jesus. Part three, or Christmas in Among Those Awaiting The Goodfellows Goodfellows, 136 Strong Will Begin 10-HourDrive Tomorrow To Aid Needy Panel D iscussion Following the presentation of speeches a panel discussion will be held by students on the topics dis- cussed. The program today is the first of four sessions to be held monthly. Topics announced for the later ses- sions are: "Truth-Relative or Abso- lute"; "Has Life a Meaning?"; "Does. the Cosmos Reveal Intelligence." Following the Symposium there will be a reception under the charge of Catherine L. Peck, '37, to enable students to meet the members of the faculty committee on religious edu- cation. Georoe Is King; Edward Seeks Love's Solace LONDON, Dec. 12.- (R)-Under dreary skies Britain proclaimed George VI king today, while Edward VIII sought in a foreign land the so- lace of the love that cost him the throne. As golden - uniformed heralds moved through foggy London streetst in medieval pageantry which twice within a year has heralded a new sovereign, the crisis of Edward's ab- dication passed into history. With unruffled calm the British' peoples accepted the melodramatic change of sovereigns and turned from the prince-king they loved so well tol his tall, family-loving brother, George-but with deep sympathy JoseLHofmann Give s Concert H e r e Monday Noted Pianist Makes His Fourth Appearance In Ann Arbor Since 1920 The world famous pianist and composer, Josef Hofmann will present the sixth Choral Union concert of the current series at 8:15 p.m. tomor- row in Hill Auditorium. It will be the fourth appearance of Hofmann before an Ann Arbor audience. He played here in 1920, 1927, and 1929. Ranked as one of the foremostI piano virtuosos today, Hofmann has1 been giving concerts throughout the! world for more than 50 years. Born in Cracow, Poianc, of a musically-r inclined family, Hofmann was play- ing the piano at the age of three and at the age of five he made his professional debut in Warsaw. I His New York debut in Carnegie Hall was made when he was nine years old, but he soon returned to Europe where he continued studying under t le greatcst pianists on the continent, including Anton Rubin- stein. who accepted Hofmann as his only pupil. At 18 he again returned to the concert stage and since then has been continuously before the public in concert performances, re- maining in this country as his adopt- ed home. The program which Hofman will offer is as follows: Haydn: Theme and Variations in F Minor; Beethoven; Fury Over the Lost Penny; Schumann: Fasching- schwank; Chopin: Barcarolle, Noc- turne in F Sharp Minor, Grande Valse Brillante, Scherzo in C Sharp Minor.

Michigan Beats McMaster, 6-3; Heyliger Stars Scores Four Goals - Two Unaided - Assists James On Other Two Tallies By GLEN PHELPS In their fourth start of the season, the Wolverine hockey team handed a 6-to-3 defeat to the forces repre- senting McMaster University from Hamilton, Ontario, and in so doing regained any prestiege they lost last winter when the Purple let them down, 6 to 5. Capt. Vic Heyliger was the focal point of the Michigan attack, having a hand in each of the six goals the Michigan squad scored. His record for the evening credits him with four goals, two of which were unassisted, in addition to having assisted Gib James on both of his second period counters. The game opened with both squads' playing cautiously, taking no chances, and waiting for a break to ease the tension and get things going. At the three-minute mark, husky Murray McLean tripped Vic Heyliger as the Concord Flash was rounding the Mc- Master defense, and was immediately chased to the penalty box. Coach Lowery substituted Berryman for Simpson, and the power play was on. The four forwards swarmed all over and around the Purple cage, but just couldn't get the disk past goalie Rich- ardson. Capt. Heyliger did beat him on a long shot from just inside the red line, but referee Paddy Ferrell ruled an off-side on the play and the goal was not allowed. McLean had hardly returned to the ice when George Cooke tripped Jerry Lawrence at the Michigan red line, and was sent away for two minutes. McMaster then went into their gang- ing attack but in vain as Bill Wood kept his cottage clean. After 15 min- utes of play, Buck Leal and Gord Mc- Adam collided at the Michigan red line and Leal went down in a heap, and had to be helped from the ice.
