XLVII No. 111 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS Varsity Sextet Overpowered By To ronto U. In 4-2 Battle' Lowrey's Fighting Squad Is Unable To Withstand Rushes Of All-Stars Chase Plays Best Game Of Career By BONTH WILLIAMS A great Blue and White power- house swept down on Michigan's gal- lant little eight-man hockey squad in the Coliseum last night, but it was a fighting band of Wolverines who cared nothing for three goals run up. by the pride of Ontario in the first stanza, as they battled the Toronto Varsity to the final gun before ac- cepting a 4-2 defeat. Toronto, undoubtedly the best hockey club ever to appear here, turned on a dazzling exhibition of speed and stick handling to give the 1,400 fans who jammed the arena the best puck performance of the season. . Michigan Stopped Michigan's attack was stopped cold for the first two periods by a pair of smart Toronto forward lines who were everywhere at once, carrying the play, and back checking like ma- jor leaguers. The Wolverines were at their best last night. Aside from five minutes in the initial.period when the invad- ers banged home three goals, their defense was air tight. Bill Chase played his best game of the year as he turned aside a To- ronto attack which featured three and four men at all times. Bill kicked, batted, and swatted every kind of flying rubber as he made 35 saves during the evening. Campbell Outstanding Down at the other end of the ice George Campbell, bespectacled Var- sity net minder, looked like Wildl Cude as he robbed Michigan time and again when they got in close. He was particularly good against Vic ,pgl' ,o pgot in on top of hixn. at least five times only to have Campbell turn in another miraculous save. The Wolverines were bottled up in their own end of the rink for a great part of the game, particularly in the second period when Coach Ace' Survey Reveals Co-eds Prefer Dances, Movies Over Athletics 0 Football Is Rated Above Other Sports; Formals Above House Dances By RO"isei vVEEKS More than 500 co-eds saw Michigan play basketball and hockey last night but 96 per cent of them would rather have gone to a dance or a movie, judging from a survey conducted in three dormitories and a well-known Washtenaw sorority by The Daily yesterday. Asked whether they were "delight- ed, indifferent or disappointed when asked by a boy you like to attend a sporting event?" 47 of the 75 girls questioned, replied that they would be delighted, 21 declared that they would feel indifferent, none of them replied that they would be disap- pointed and seven wouldn't answer. Asked why they felt delighted, in- different or disappointed about being asked to a sporting event, one said that she was delighted because she loved to yell. One typical explana- tion of the ecstasy upon being dated for a sporting event was this reply, "I'm delighted because I enjoy sport- Starr Obtains A _ N§ew Hearing From Officials Half-Miler's Case Retried By Disciplinary Body; Result Is Unknown Ben Starr, '37, crack half-miler who was put on probation last week, was given a rehearing Friday before the subcommittee on discipline of the Committee on Student Conduct, it was disclosed last night. The result is unknown. Dean Jo- seph A. Bursley, chairman of the main committee, said information had to come from the literary col- lege, in which Starr is a student. Both Dean Edward H. Kraus and Assis- tant Dean Wilbur R. Humphries, however, said they had not been in- formedrof any new decision of the committee. Starr could not be reached last night. Starr presented to the committee- man new testimony, it was under- stood, which, he hopes, will lead them to change their decision, put- ting him on probation until April 1. Starr was placed on probation, the committee announced, along with his apartment roommate, John S. Palmer. '37. for "conduct unbecom- ing events and if I1am asked to attend one by a boy I particularly care for- well, it's wonderful." Another girl ingeniously explained that she was indifferent "Because I don't know very much about sports and the seatsare very hardat sport- ing events." Football is by far the favorite sport and its devotees number twice as many as basketball which is second. Hockey and swimming are about equal for the third and fourth choice and 30 girls admitted that they would rather go to any of the others than to a track meet. Prefer Formal Dances The dormitory denizens put in a strong bid for formal dances above all other indoor sports that were on the ballot. They were asked to number n order their choices among, athletic events (not football), formal dances, informal dances, movies, and frater- nity parties. Women in Mosher Hall, Jordan Hall and Betsy Barbour House gave 23 votes to put formals in top notch position, but the rural vote from the older and possibly more blase students in the Washtenaw sor- ority boosted informal dances up to the top with 26 votes to the 23 total cast for formal dances. Frown On Parties Fraternity parties were not threat- ening, because only 14 women chose them, and 16 girls firmly announced that they preferred the other four activities to fraternity parties. Male consolation is offered in the figures on the female attitude on athletics, for although 25 women voted that they would prefer to go to a movie or a dance rather than to an athletic event, the large number of women in the Coliseum and Yost Field House last night. attested to the fact that it's the male will that prevails. Of the 75 women questioned, 52 de- clared, however, that they went to hockey games, track meets, swimming meets, football and basketball games because they were "interested." Only 16 boldly retorted "because it's a date," when asked why they went. W A Workers Strike As Hotel Employes Win 200Women Protest Their Removal From Relief Project Rolls DETROIT, March 6.---A')-Two hundred women were occupying three WPA offices tonight in protest against their removal from project rolls. They were dropped from the proj- ects because, as mothers of depen- dent children, they are receiving com- pensation under the Social Security Act. The WPA union, however, con- tends that the compensation is so small that it must be supplemented by local relief agencies to give them a subsistence. Fifty women occupied the Wayne county headquarters of the WPA to- night after the Rev. Father Fred- erick Hass, Federal conciliator, and H. W. Clark, Wayne county WPA di- rector, had told them they could not be reinstated without instructions from Washington. They had been working on book binding, housekeeping, and dress- making projects. SETTLE HOTEL STRIKE DETROIT, March 6.-(IP)--A strike which left 690 guests of the Webster Hall Hotel without service for five hours was settled at midnight. A union spokesman said that ap- proximately 70 waiters, waitresses, cooks, bartenders, firemen and oilers who joined in the strike obtained wage increases and recognition of their unions. Craft Union Leaves AFL To Join Lewis AlumniumnWorkers Swing To CIO; Federation May Use Boycott New Strikes Begin; Others Are Settled (By The Associated Press) The competition for labor's leader- ship overshadowed developments yes- terday (Saturday) in workers' dis- putes with employers. A union in the aluminum industry bolted the American Federation of Labor, led by William Green, and swung its allegiance to Jonn L. Lew- is' Committee for Industrial Organ- ization. It was a new gain for Lewis, whose position already had been strength- ened during the week by recognition from ranking producers in the steel and electrical industries. May Boycott Goods But Green's forces were not idle. Craft' union leaders opposed to Lew- is' "vertical" organization program indicated they were considering sev- eral methods of reprisal. One was a boycott of capital goods produced by CIO members. Another was refusal to recognize the Lewis label on con- sumer goods. Also considered were proposals for organizing rival unions. The defection of the Alumnium Workers Union's largest unit, at the New Kensington, Pa., plant of the Alumnium Company of America, from the A.F. of L. ranks held pros- pects of spreading. John Haser, vice- president of the unit, said a national conference of representatives of locals would be held April 12 for the purpose of drafting a constitution for an international union which would affiliate with the CIO. Develops From Dispute The break with the A.F. of L. de- veloped from a dispute over finances. The alumnium industry employes about 40,000 persons. Representatives of the United Elec- trical and Radio Workers, a CIO af- filiate, claimed the Westinghouse Electric, and Marufacturing Co. had recognized t union as a ining agency for1 its mehrberhl, and aimed at further recognition. The union announced a drive to organize 12,000 employes in 20 St. Louis plants. Settle Timken Strike DETROIT, March 6.-()-Agree- ments reached by automotive parts concerns with the United Automobile Workers of America, affiliate of the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, ended three sit-down strikes here today. Approximately 2,200 are employes of the Timken-Detroit Axle Co., whose plant had been held since Feb. 23 by nearly 400 sit-down strikers. The agreement provides for hourly wage minimums, after 60 days' em- ployment, of 75 cents for men and 65 zents for women. The union was recognized as bargaining agent for its members and the company agreed not to negotiate with any other group for six months. Visiting Pastors To Give Church Serm ns Today Out-of-town guest speakers again head the programs of the Lenten services of Ann Arbor churches. The Rev. Ralph H. Ferris of the First Congregational Church, Detroit, will deliver a sermon on "The Love of Christ" at the 10:45 a.m. service of worship of the First Congrega- tional Church.

"Are Christians Rtter9" will h th leek Cancer" Cure IWork Begun Here Hope To Find Solution In Research By Physics Department,_Hospital Cyclotron Is Used In Investigation EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of articles explaining the work of the cyclotron and what may be ac-I complished with its aid. By SAUL KLEIMANI A cure for cancer may be the re- sult of an investigation now being carried out jointly by the physics de- partment and the University Hospital through use of the cyclotron, the 95- ton atom smasher. Prof. James M. Cork of the physics department explained this possible1 cure yesterday by pointing out that cancer consists of a mixture of healthy and diseased cells and that the cyclotron may provide the means whereby the diseased cells are killed, leaving the healthy cells unharmed. Will Use Neutrons That means, Professor Cork said, which the physicist can, give the physician, is neutron bombardment. The neutron is like the nucleus of the common hydrogen atom, except that while the nucleus has a positive_ electrical charge, the neutron is "neutral" and has no charge at all. X-rays, which produce ionization in the tissue, are being widely used now but are not universally success- ful in curing cancerous growths. Dr. Cork pointed out that the difficulty lay in the fact that at times the X- rays either failed to kill " all the diseased cells or killed some of the healthy cells too. He indicated that failure to kill all the diseased cells was dangerous because this resulted in the produc- tion of a "new generation" of cancer more virile than the first. When healthy cells have been destroyed in addition to the diseased ones, other complications have developed, he said. Resembles X-Ray Method However it rmay be possible by means of neutron bombardment to achieve this goal. Previously it was thought that the application of the cyclotron to a cancer cure would take the form of the manufacture of artificially radio- active substances such as radioactive salt. which might be taken internally. However this new line of research is different. It resembles the X-ray method in that it endeavors to pro- duce ionization in the tissues but it is hoped this will provide a better agency. - Prof. Fred J. Hodges, head of the department of the roentgenology, with whom Professor Cork is collab- orating in this phase of the cyclo- tron's work, explained last night that the value of neutron bombardment is the subject of a heated controversy (Continued on Page 2) Wolverine Cagers Defeat Wisconsin In FinalTilt, 41-27 PI ledges Stage Sit-Down' While Actives Hold Bag Active members of Delta Upsilon fraternity were left holding the bag last night when the scheduled time for the annual pre-initiation pledge banquet arrived without a single pledge present. The banquet, which is traditional- ly featured by the costumes and pro- gram presented by the pledges, was broken up at 6:15 p.m. by a telegram that announced that the pledges were conducting a sit-down strike at a downtown beer garden. Enraged actives were informed that the pledges "just didn't feel like it." The pledges disclosed there had been no Hell Week, that they just "struck" as a "gag." Burke Attacks F.D.R.'s Plan To Alter Court Democrats In Opposition To Proposal Open Fire As OthersSupport It WASHINGTON, March 6.--P)- Democratic opponents of President Roosevelt's court bill opened tonight an intensive barrage designed to counteract during the next week the chief executive's appeals for the na- tion's support in reshaping the Su- preme Court. Senator Edward Burke (Dem., Neb.) opened fire with a radio speech asserting that "no greater disservice was ever done to the cause of democ- racy than may well result from the diligent and surpassingly cunning and deceptive program to discredit the Supreme Court in the minds of the public." Flanagan Supports President On the other hand, Representative Jerome Flanagan (Dem. Va.), in a speech urging support of Mr. Roose- velt's proposal, said: "You cannot de- stroy the national conscience by ju- dicial fiat. This was attempted by a divided Court in the Dred Scott case. You know the result. "The people overruled a Supreme Court decision by force of arms. "With this experience of the past, like a red light flashing its warning, shall we again permit four or five judges, who are out of joint with our social and economic growth, to again embroil us in trouble?" Copeland Opposes Plan Earlier in the day, Chairman Royal Copeland (Dem., N.Y.) of the Senate Commerce Commitee replied in a statement to the President's sugges- tion that the Supreme Court had cast doubt over the constitutionality of flood control legislation. Paraphrasing the President's own words, Copeland said that "When sweating men, piling sandbags on the levee at Cairo find time to study this question" they will find that failure to provide for flood control was "not the fault of the Sieme Court" but of "the President' bwn agent, the director of the budget."

Jake Townsend Tallies 15 Points, Gee 9 As Five Wins In Romp Wolverines Finish Third In Big Ten Varsity Record For Year Is 16 Victories, Four Losses, AllAvenged By RAY GOODMAN With little at stake despite a suc cessful Conference record of nine wins and but three defeats, as Min- nesota and Illinois won their games, Jake Townsend and Johnny Gee led the Michigan basketball team in a 41 to 27 romp over the luckless Wis- consin Badgers last night at Yost Field House to close the 1937 bas- ketball season. The Varsity's mathematical chances at the title were erased as the Gopher drubbed Chicago, 33 to 23, and the Illini beat Northwestern, 32 to 26, to tie for the championship, 10 games won and two lost, to rele- gate the Wolverines undisputed to third place only a game out of first and ahead of Purdue's disappointed Boilermakers, who finished in fourth, by the same margin. Lose Only Four Michigan's complete record of the year is 16 victories against four de- feats at the hands of Washington of Seattle, Purdue, Indiana, and Ohio State. The Wolverines defeated all four of these teams, however, some- time in the season. The feature of last night's game, once victory was assured, was the scoring performances of Townsend, Gee, and George Rooney of Wiscon- sin, all seeking to better their posi- tions in the final individual scoring standings. Townsend, all-Conference selection for the second consecutive year, the basket for 15 points to boost hlW Conference total to 121. Seven of his 15 points came by the free throw route to give him 43 for the Big Ten season and the largest number in the league ahead of Jewell Young, the Boilermaker forward, who made 38. Both Gee and Ro.ney, who were tied at 95 In fifth place before the game, made 10 points, four field goals and a pair of free throws, for a year's total of 105. Receive Ovations Captain Gee and Matt Patanelli, playing their last basketball game for Michigan, were honored with ova- tions that brought memories of the Democratic Convention when they left the floor for the last time. Michigan's height advantage was too much for the Wisconsin team that defeated Purdue last Monday night, and the Wolverines encoun- tered little trouble with the Badgers in the first half, running up a 20 to 9 score before the first gun sounded. The Badgers couldn't work the ball into the basket and made all four of the field goals in-the first period on long shots from the field.

Ray Riksen, proprietor of a student lunch vending service, last night announced his intention of testing the constitutionality of the city ordinance requiring him to pay a: yearly license fee of $150 per ve- hicle after having been fined $5 and $10.05 costs for violating the ordin- anc'e. Declaring that he would appeal to the state supreme court if necessary, after the circuit court hearing, Rik- sen announced that he would "appeal on the grounds that the measure is regulatory. The fee is supposed to be only large enough to cover enforce- ment costs, and is not a revenue measure. Since this is so stated in the constitution, it is unconstitu- tional."

Mr. Failor will "emphasize the divisions of secretar- ial accounting work in a bank and will relate these positions to other industries," Dr. Pardom said. Rearmed Great Britain Holds Fate Of Europe, Shepard Says Democratic Split Over Court May Defeat Plan, Says Brown, By ROBERT FRYER The fate of Europe in the next dec- ade will be determined by the attitude Great Britain takes toward the use of the tremendous strength which will be hers once she has completed her recently proposed rearmament pro- gram, according to Prof. John P. Shepard of the psychology depart- ment. Since the rise of Hitler, British diplomacy has been so 'weak'-so full of inconsistencies-that it can hardly be called a real policy at all, Profes- sor Shepard said. "It is this utter lack of any real stand by Britain on such matters as unilateral break- ing of treaties and collective security prejudices" of the upper ruling class of Great Britain. England's successful pressure in the League of Nations against the employment of sanctions against Ja- pan upon her aggression in China, gave notice to the fascist powers that England would avoid war at all costs, Professor Shepard stated. Thus, he said, she made inevitable the recent firm stand these nations have taken toward reestablishing their "place in the sun!" Again in the Spanish crisis, Professor Shepard contended, Eng- land has "backed down" because "class interest" has prompted the government to fear any expansion of socialism or communism. Tf on cnmnltinn of her renm- By TUURE TENANDER Opposition of Democrats to Presi- dent Roosevelt's judicial reform pro-, posal indicates a breakdown in party discipline that may eventually defeat Administration plans for Supreme Court changes in the opinion of Prof. Everett S. Brown of the political sci- ence department. "It would appear on the basis of the members elected to Congress last November," Professor Brown said yes- terday, "that the Administration should have no trouble in putting through the measure, but the very fact that strong opposition has been forthcoming from the ranks of the Democrats themselves shows that party discipline is breaking down. The time element is exceedingly important in the consideration of whether an ordinary legislative meas- ure or a Constitutional amendment would have a better chance of pas- sage, Professor Brown feels. In this respect, he pointed out thati since 1787 several thousand amend- ments have been introduced in Con- gress, but only 26 have been submitted to the states for ratification. Twenty- one have been ratified by the states and a prospective 22nd, the Child Labor Amendment, is still hanging fire. This would seem to indicate, Professor Brown said, that the big- I gest obstacle in the way of a con- stitutional amendment is the pas- sage throug h Cnress rather than Miss Florence Hartsuff, 25, 109 N. Ravena Ave., suffered fractures ow 'oth kneecaps yesterday whenth car she was driving crashed almost head-on into one driven by Pat Hickey, 56, 411% N. Ashley, early last night. Miss Hartsuff was driving south on Main St. when the car driven by Hickey was turned north onto Main St. from Kingsley St. Making a wide right turn that carried him over to the other side of the street, he crashed into Miss Hartsuff's car. She told the police that she was un- able to avoid him. A spot examination by police dis- closed that the force of the collisign had driven Miss Hartsuff against the dashboard of her car, smashing her right kneecap, police said. She was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where authorities later in tl e evening said that she was "in g6od condition." Hickey was jailed on a charge of drunken driving.
