Disclosing this today, committee investigators indicated company of- ficials probably would be asked to testify at public hearings beginning January 14. Report Large Car Sale Before Strike NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-(P)--Heavy shipments of cars to dealers in De- cember, before strikes crippled op- erations, were shown today to have helped lift world sales of General Motors Corp. in 1936 to a new record above 2,000,000 cars. December sales to dealers in the United States and abroad were the largest for any month in the cor-- poration's history at 239,114, its monthly report revealed. This com- pared with 191,720 in November, and 185,698 in December, 1935. Removal Of Frank Called Significant (Continued from Page 1) charges of incompetency there will be no question in anyone's minds as to the truth of the charges. It is a sad commentary on American culture that everyone immediately suspects political motives in a situation such as, this." ipficult For Outsider To Judge Professor Nelson feels that it is very difficult for an outsider to judge whether the charges of incompetency are true or not. "If the removal of Frank was caused by political con- sideration, as is indicated by the eight to seven vote, it is regrettable. The firing by a liberal body of a com- paratively conservative educator is just as much to be deplored as the removal by a conservative board of a liberal one," Professor Nelson said. "It would appear that party pol- itics definitely entered the dismissal of President Frank," Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department said, "and this presents a situation just as serious as if the issue of aca- demic freedom had been involved." The complaints registered against Frank were felt to be very general by Professor Slosson. "There is no ques- tion that Governor LaFollette had the right to consult with the regents, but it nevertheless was an unwise move, since it gave the whole affair an at- mosphere of politics," he said. It is quite certain that the basic issue involved in the case was not academic freedom, Prof. John F. Shepherd of the psychology depart- ment said. Professor Shepherd felt, as did Professor Nelson, that it is difficult for one not well acquainted with the Wisconsin situation to de- termine just whether Frank was a competent administrator or not. "It is very likely," Professor Shep- herd added, "that political consider- ations were the reasons for Frank's dismissal." Former 2 P.NM Programs To Go On Air Fifteen Mlinutes Later A change in the schedule for University broadcasts will become ef- fective tomorrow according to Prof. Waldo Abbot, director of University Broadcasting Service. The programs which formerly went I on the air at 2 p.m. will thereafter be presented at 2:15 p.m. The follow- ing programs will be given next week, with the broadcast times changed ac- cording to the new schedule: Sunday, from 9 to 9:30 'a.m., Prof. Joseph E. Maddy, of the School of Music, will head the class in the1 singing of popular hymns. From 12:45 to 1:15 p.m. Professor Maddy will talk on the parent education program. Prof. Donal H. Haines, of the journalism department, is to speak on "A Hobby Found Interest- ing," Pt-onunciation Class Continues Professor Maddy will also have charge of the program to be given Monday from 2:15 to 2:45 p.m. He will conduct the class in the playingI of string instruments. On the Tuesday "Actuality Broad-+ cast," Bessie B. Kanouse, curator of' the University Herbarium, will be in- terviewed by Professor Abbot at the university Museums at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday Prof. Gail E. Dens- more of the spee9h department will continue his class in the instruction of diction and pronunciation. Thus far more than 2,000 requests for word lists used by the class have been' received at Morris Hall, the broad- casting station. The program time remains the same at 2:15 p.m. The Thursday program is sched- uled to go on the air at 2:15 p.m. Miss Adelaide Adams and Miss Marie Ab- bot of the fine arts department will continue the program known as "Art Pilgrimages to Famous Museums." Friday Program Unchanged The Friday program remains un- changed. The Saturday programs are also unchanged. From 10 to 10:15 a.m., the class in the teaching of mathe- matics will go on the air. From 10:15 to 10:30 a.m., skits of campus life will be presented by the students in broadcasting speech courses. From 5:30 to 5:45 p.m., Dr. Fred J. Hodges, professor of roentgenology, is sched- uled to speak on the "Treatment of Cancer and Radiant Energy." PHI KAPPA SIGMA Phi Kappa Sigma announces the pledging of Robert Baldwin, '39E, of1 Westport, Conn.7 Balzac And Proust Said To Be Modern Founders Of OppositeSchools The University Lecture Series yes- terday presented Prof. Fernand Bal- densperger, professor of compara- tive literature at Harvard University, who spoke on the subject "Une Crise du Roman--Balzac ou Proust." "Balzac and Proust have as a point of coincidence," the speaker said, "the fact that both died at the age of 51 after a comparatively short period of production; however, here the similarity ends abruptly." Pro- fessor Baldensperger then went on to portray the essential differences between the founders of the two chools of French literature. "Balzac is happy when dealing with space," he said. A ]Salzac novel is one based on an entirely rational foundation. It is constructed layer upon layer and can be aptly com- pared to a stone building. Balzac is an author who writes of reality, th4 professor declared, of people as he actually sees them. His work, then, might be termed more objective. "Proust on the other hand," Pro- fessor Baldenspet'ger said "is not conecinied in the slightest with space. To him time is the al-important cencep tion." Proust tried constantly, to get a hold of this fundamnental idea" and his woik is saturated with these attempts. Stricken with asth- ma, nervous, almost a neIurotic, Proust was well qualified' to concern himself with the inner mind of the individual, the speaker said. The character of Proust's work was com- pared in msic to that of Debussey, while Balzac was said to approach Wagner in the tone of his work. ' In summary Professor Balden- sperger declared the crises of the modern French novel has been reached. The question is whether it will follow the Balzac or the Proust school. Formerly completely under the sway of Balzac the recent trend has been decidedly toward Proust. "It is possible," he concluded "that a synthesis of the two types will be effectedsin which a new novel style will emerge." Shepard To Give Talk Tuesday Upon War Prof. John F. Shepard of the psy- chology department will lead a dis- cussion on "The Causes of War" at 7:45 Tuesday, Jan. 12, at the Michi- gan Union to be held under the aus- pices of the Student Alliance. The public is invited to attend this meeting, it was announced, which is the Student Alliance's monthly peace meeting. EVENING RADIO PROGRAMS 6:00- WJR Stevenson News.

WOLF BALKED BY MOP SHERIDAN, Wyo., Jan. 8.-(P)- The wolf-proverbial doorstep haun- ter-got more than he bargain d for when he took to jumping through windows hereabouts. Mrs. O. I. Cunningham, Sayle, Mont., ranch wife, said she was si~t- ting in the kitchen when a big black wolf bounded through the window and -almost into her lap. Startled, she grabbed a mop handle and sent the animal scurrying out the door where her husband shot it.

Large Scale Flood Prevention Not Practical Today, King Says I Use Of Storage Reservoirs Not Feasible Because Of Costs, He Says Prevention of spring floods in the river valleys of this country on a large scale is at the present time im- practical, Prof. H. W. King of the hydraulic engineering departmentI declared yesterday, basing his belief1 on previous projects of this nature., There is an exaggerated opinion, Professor King declared, in the minds of most people relative to the amount of flood regulation that is feasible with storage reservoirs. Such reg- ulation, he explained, is dependent upon the availability of suitable res- ervoir sites, and usually those avail- able that will provide storage at any reasonable cost are not of sufficient capacity to influence materially the enormous volume of water that flows down our larger streams during floods. On small streams where val- uable property is to be protected, ex- cessive cost of storage may in some instances be justified, he continued: Such was the case, he pointed out, on the Miami river in Ohio when five large reservoirs were built to protect the cities of Dayton and Hamilton and the remainder of the small Mi- ami valley. Tennessee Valley Typical Conditions in the Tennesseee val- ley, Professor King declared, are typ- ical of those in which the reduction of the flood peak is highly desirable* but not practical. Flood control on the Tennessee river has up to the present time received only minor con- sideration, he said. Because of the emphasis placed on power develop-, ment and navigation, he explained, the effect of the present program of structures on flood flows is more or, less incidental. It is unfortunate that these ends conflict, he said. In order that storage capacity be avail- able to receive a flood, which may oc- cur at almost any time, the reservoir should be empty to receive it; then after the flood has passed, it should be reemptied as soon as this can be done safely in order to be ready for the next flood, he said. Maximum Control Feasible It is however, Professor King con- tinued, the plan of the Tennesseee River Valley Authority, to operate the plants so as to give the maximum flood control that is feasible without too great interference with the out- put of power. The pools, he pointed out, will be kept at a comparatively low level in the spring when floods are most likely to occur and thus some of the flood waters will be held back temporarily.bAlso the upper levels of the pool back of the Norris dam will be kept below the crest of the spillway so that there will al- ways be available some storage for flood waters, he said. Confucian Theory Followed By Chang (Continued from Page 1) a national crisis is still based upon Confucianism. It may be summar- ized by the expression, 'Activity with- out aggression.' This is the policy Chiang has folowed. Its success may be seen in the consolidation of the power of Nanking, the extension of its power over the rest of China, and by the retrocession of some of the foreign concessions since Chi- ang's advent. "The young marshal apparently became restive," Dr. Stanton said, "and felt that he was too overshad- owed by Chiang, and so desired to attract attention and accelerate the pace of events by creating a national crisis." When Chang was expelled from S.C.A. Class In Shorthand Starts Today With 35 students enrolled, the first meeting of the new shorthand class being sponsored by the Student Christian Association will be held this morning at 11 a.m. in Lane Hall, officials of that organization an- nounced yesterday. The class is the latest of a series of projects for students of the cam- pus that has been undertaken this year by the S.C.A. and is mainly for' the purpose of giving any student who wishes it, free instruction in Gregg shorthand for use in taking lecture notes or in future business cases. The course will last eight weeks, meeting each Saturday at 11 a.m.. Later, if enough students are interested, there may be a second, advanced class. Walter A. Luszki, '37, is in charge. Besides the fact that there will be no registration fee for the class, ar- rangements have been made with the library for the reservation of refer- ence books, so that students will not have to buy their own books unless they want to, Luszki announced yes- terday. Manchuria, he said, Chiang gave him asylum for two reasons. First be- cause' he had an army of 100,000 men and a large personal fortune, and second, because Manchuria is still looked upon as a part of China. They used their combined forces to conduct anti-communism activities, mainly in central China, Dr. Stanton said.
