PRICE FIVE CENTS


Italian Lira
Is Devalued
By Mussolini
Property Owners Forced
To Lend Government
Cash To Balance Budget
Il Duce Proclaims
Tariff Reductions
Action Follows Meeting
On Monetary Alignment
Among Nations
ROME, Oct. 5.-()-Premier Mus-
solini today devalued the Italian lira,
decreed sweeping measures designed
to revive the nation's foreign trade,
and ordered property owners to lend
the government cash equal. to five
per cent of the value of their real
estate in an effort to balance the
budget.
Tariff duties were ordered reduced
to spur trade. Cabinet decrees for-
bade increases in rents and utility
service costs to guard against a jump
in living costs because of the deval-
uation step.
The value of the lira was estab-
lished at 19 to the American dollar,
and 92.46 to the pound. The gold
content was pegged at 4.677 grams
per 100 lire. This constituted a gold
devaluation of 41 per cent.
Alignment Seen
The financial move followed in-
tensive conversations on monetary
alignment among Great Britain,
France and Italy, with the United
States informed.
Italy then proclaimed an agree-
ment with "conception that world
economic recovery is one of the
necessary conditions for collaboration .
among peoples toward peace."
The lira was thus restored to ap-
proximately the value it enjoyed be-
fore the dollar was devalued. Orig-
inal parity was 8.911 cents to the lira.
The new parity will be approximately
5.2 cents.
The cabinet, under Mussolini's di-
rection, established a series of pro-
visions drawn to block increased liv-
ing costs from devaluation.
Il Duce told the cabinet members
Fascism intended to see that the ad-
vantages to Italian commerce abroad
accruing from devaluation should not
be nullified by increasing internal
prices.
LONDON. Oct. 5.-(P)-Italian de-
valuation of the lira was held by
London financial quarters tonight to
be the spearhead for eventual world
currency stabilization, with the Unit-
ed States cooperating passively.
World trade restrictions and the
huge United States stock of gold
were seen as stumbling blocks, how-
ever. W. S. Morrison, financial sec-
retary of the British treasury, de-
clared in Geneva today that stabili-
zation would be impossible until the
restrictions which drove Great Bri-
tain from the gold standard were re-
moved. i
Those restrictions were privately
interpreted in London as meaning
anything which impeded the move-
ment of goods and gold.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-(P)-After
studying details of Italy's 41 per cent
devaluation of the lira, Secretary
Morgenthau said today that "every-
thing seems to be going along exceed-
ingly well" in connection with "stab-
ilization" of world currencies.

TOPEKA, Kas., 'Oct. 5.-(P)-Gov.
Alf M. Landon capped a round of
presidential campaign conferences
tonight with a welcome-home greet-
ing at what he termed "this crucial

Legion.
"At this crucial time you will need

long a personal friend. "You will

Given an ovation when he arose
to speak, the Governor said that as
"chief executive of the state" and
"as a fellow legionnaire" he extended
his "sincere congratulations" to the
Topekan, adding:
"You have been especially inter-

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-(/)-Sway-
ing perilously close to the brink of
World Series disaster, like a troupe
of circus performers doing the tight-
wire act in mid-air, the New York
Giants prolonged their baseball civilj
war with the Yankees today with a
breath-taking 5 to 4 victory in the
tenth inning of the fifth game.
The outcome reduced the margin
of the Yankees 3 games to 2, after1
three successive triumphs for the
American League champions, and
sent the warring clans back across
the Harlem River for the sixth game
at the Polo Grounds tomorrow. j
:Fitz To Face Gomez
On their home grounds, the Giants
will rely on their knuckle-ball star,<
Freddy Fitzsimmons, to beat Lefty
Vernon Gomez and carry the fight1
into a seventh and final match.
Bill Terry, the crippled manager
of the Giants who has been hobbling
through the series with a painfully
swollen knee, drove Jo-Jo Moore
across the plate with the winning
run in the first extra frame of a ball
game that was loosely but thrillingly
played from start to finish.
The decisive blow was a looping
drive to left-center that Terry hit off
the veteran relief pitcher, Pat Ma-
lone, with the count three and two,
after the Yankees had kicked vigor-
ously against Umpire Cy Pfirman's
failure to call what they thought was
a third strike on the Giant's pilot.
More Scores
Moore, who had started the tenth
with a ground-rule two-bagger that
hopped into the left-field boxes,
reached third on Dick Bartell's sacri-
fice bunt, and scored easily as Joe
DiMaggio threw wildly to the infield
after catching Terry's wallop on the
dead run.
The youthful Schumacher had the
crowd wildly on edge with a perfect
exhibition of the "man on the flying
trapeze" but in crisis after crisis he
gave a demonstration of courage
that thrust back his slugging rivals
and saved a game that he came dan-
gerously close to losing because of his
wildness.
Yields Ten Hits
Schumacher yielded ten hits and
walked six Yankees but he also struck
out ten, within three of the World
Series record, and gave a magnificent
performance in the critical stages of
a battle that his erratic defense al-
ternately saved or endangered. It
was not, on the whole, very good
baseball, but it was the kind that
kept the onlookers excited and finally
swung the partisanship of most root-
ers to the side of the under-dog
National Leaguers.
"Prince Hal" scaled his greatest
heights in the third inning when,
with one run in, the bases full and
none out, thanks to two bases on
balls, a wild pitch, an error by Bar-
tell and a bunt basehit, he stopped
the "big three" of the Yankee batting
order cold. Dimaggio and Captain
Lou Gehrig fanned and Bill Dickey

hoisted to Mel Ott for the third out.

The charge was made under cover
of a heavy artillery barrage, it was
reported, with the government troops
holding their fire until the attackers
were almost upon them.
Swinging machine guns in deadly
arcs, the government defenders of
Madrid reported they mowed down
the Fascist men and horses causing '
the survivors to flee back into the
hills.

PARIS, Oct. 5.-(R)-The anxious
:overnment of Socialist Premier Leon
lum tonight banned all demonstra-
ions that might cause trouble by
action or reaction."
At the same time cabinet leaders
end Blum mapped a swift court fight
o wipe out the "Social Party" of
ol. Francois de la Rocque whose
'ollowers battled in the streets with
ommunists over the week-end.
La Rocque's followers promptly
asked Minister of the Interior Roger
alengro whether his announced ban
n demonstrations would be applied
o Communist meetings likely to
cause "reactions" such as the Na-
ionla Party's counter-demonstration
Egainst the Communists Sunday.
Interests At Stake
In a communique, Salengro ap-
ealed to public opinion to back the
,overnment and said "The interests
>f the entire country are at stake."
Salengro's order said:
"The government is determined
.ntil further notice not to authorize
n Paris and in the Paris region dem-
nstrations or meetings susceptible of
>rovoking hostile action and reaction
nd causing new agitation of public
>pinion."
Officials said this meant the gov-
rnment reserved for itself the right
o ban "any of all" public meetings
r demonstrations at the govern-
nent's discretion.
The first indication of lessened
upport of the Blum governent be-
ause of the rioting between om-
nunists and Rightist followers of
a Rocque came from Saone-et-Loire
epartment in the East of France.
To Check 'Menaces '
Radical-Socialists of that district
nade their parliamentary support of
he government contingent to a check
)f "menaces" directed by certain
foreign elements against internal
order," and assurances of "freedom
to work and the rights of property
and saving."
Sources close to the government
said Blum decided tonight to press
the courts for speedy dissolution of
La Rocque's party.
Continuance of two major strikes
prevented restoration of labor peace
to France and further worried the
government.
Officials said they were ready to
requisition river craft for transporta-
tion of vital products if the sailor's
strike begun Sept. 28 held out much
longer.
Negotiations to end the strike of
the chocolate industry workers also
were at an impasse.
Rightist leaders, surveying police
methods of breaking up their march
on Sunday's Communist meeting, de-
clared they would call upon their
followers to stage counter-demonstra-
tions against all major meetings of
the "popular front."
The thousands of mobile guards-
men who had separated the two
groups outside the Parc des Princes
Sunday were returned to barracks
today, but held ready for duty if
further rioting occurred.
Browder Will Try
Terre Haute Again
NEW YORK, Oct. 5.- (/P) -The
Communist National Campaign
Committee today began arrange-
ments for Earl Browder, presidential
candidate, to speak during October
in Tampa, Fla., and Terre Haute,
Ind.
Browder's first efforts during the
present campaign to be heardin

In Tampa on Sept. 1Z he was

Athletic Plant At Olympics
Like Michigan's, Says Lorch

By ROBERT MITCHELL
The University athletic plant prob-
ably provided some architectural
ideas for the new German "Reich-
sportfeld," scene of the 1936 Olympic
Games, Prof. Emil Lorch, of the'
College of Architecture stated yester-
day.
Werner March, designer of the
complete project, Professor Lorch
said, visited America several years
ago and at that time spent a day in
Ann Arbor, where he was especially
interested in the stadium, Ferry Field,
the Yost Field House, andthe new
Intramural Building. Results of this
inspection may possibly be found in
some of the features of the buildings
for the summer games at Berlin.-
The Olympic stadium, with a ca-

taken up with tennis courts, fields for
minor sports, and approaches.
Probably the most interesting fea-
ture of Mr. March's work, however,
Professor Lorch said, was the hous-
ing of the athletes, especially when
compared to the Los Angeles Olympic
Village of 1932, which consisted
mainly of rows of small, open-air

sleeping huts.

Given an irregular

piece of wooded land, with a small
corner reaching down to the Ber-
lin-Hamburg highway, which passes
it, he succeeded in designing a vil-
lage of extreme simplicity yet one
also of a feeling of comfort and
restfulness.
At the entrance were placed the
reception halls, one with baggage
and customs rooms, a post office,
bank, stores, and a communications
center. The other consisted of a
