Paper Is Selected
3rd Straight Year
The Michigan Daily was again
awarded "All-American Honor Rat-
ing," and for the third successive
year was designated as a "Pacemak-
er" among college publications by the
Associated Collegiate Press in its an-
nual critical service for university
and college newspapers, Fred L. Kil-
dow, director announced yesterday.
The Daily was one of seven news-
papers out of the total of 355 sub-
mitted to receive the "Pacemaker"
award, called the "summa cum
laude" rating by the organization,
and was one of three in the division
of daily college newspapers.
Other Papers Listed
The other papers in the "Pace-
maker" rank for 1937 are Akron
Buchtelite, University of Akron;
Daily Cardinal, University of Wis-
consin; Echo Weekly, Milwaukee
State Teachers College; Junior Col-
legian, Los Angeles Junior College;
Minnesota Daily, University of Min-
nesota; and Red and Black, Univer-
sity of Georgia.
Out of a possible 1,000 points The
Daily received 885 from the judges.
All the papers submitted are judged
upon the bases of news values and
sources; news writing and editing;
headlines, typography and make-up;
and department pages and special
features. The Daily scored highest
in news values and sources, receiving
230 out of a possible 250 points. For
typography The Daily received the
maximum number of possible points
and the make-up of the front page
was judged "excellent,"
Editorials, Sport Praised
The editorial page and the sports
department were both rated "excel-
lent" by the judges and the other
special features and departments re-
ceived the maximum points possible.
This year marked the 17th time
that the Associated Collegiate Press,
a division of the National Scholastic
Press Association, has conducted its
critical review. The scorebook of the
organization states definitely that the
competition is not a contest, except
in the sense that a teacher in a class
room conducts a contest with every
student striving for the best record
possible."

eight consecutive seasons. "It is not
only a fine recognition," he said, "but

morrow in the first of a series of two
articles on "Sales Engineering" by
Phillip A. Singleton, '35E.
. This issue, according to the Tech-

Relationships between bacteria

In this discussion the evolution of
microscopic instruments is described.
Design Trends Discussed
Body design tendencies are dis-
cussed by William S. Taylor, '39E, in
"Economy by Streamlining" in which
he shows that all indications point
toward a vital concentration of
scientific principles in future work
on this problem.
Courses open in the handling of
the Straits of Mackinac transporta-

J. H. Cissel of the civil engineering
department. Three possibilities are
said to exist. They are: continuation
of the ferry system on an enlarged
scale; construction of a bridge; and
construction of a tunnel through the
rock underlying the Straits.
Commentaries Included
Prof. A. D. Moore's commentaries,

Democrat of Montana will be the
principal speaker Friday night at the
annual Founder's Day dinner in the
Law School, replacing Donald Rich-
berg, former general counsel for the

and is a co-author of the Wheeler-
Bone plan with Sen. Homer T. Bone
of Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 19.--UP)-
Homer Martin, president of the Unit-
ed Automobile Workers, reported to-
day that his union has begun nego-
tiations with the National Labor Re-
lations Board regarding alleged griev-
ances of Ford workers under the
Wagner labor law.
Arriving from Detroit by plane for
a special meeting of his executive
council, Martin at first announced
that charges of "discrimination and
intimidation" already had been filed
against Ford.
Confer With Bowen
Later, however, he said union of-
ficials had been conferring in Detroit
for several days with Frank Bowen,
regional labor board director, but
that he did not know whether formal
charges had been presented.
"We have plenty of evidence
against Ford," the union chief de-
clared, adding that plans for organ-
izing Ford workers already had been'
drawn. .
Bennett 'Not Worrying'
In Detroit, Harry H. bennett, per-
sonnel director of the Ford company,
told reporters it was not worrying
about any charges the union may
bring "because they are a lot of hot
air."
Should the labor board call a hear-
ing to determine if Ford has violated,
the Wagner Labor Relations Act, it
would be the first involving a major
manufacturing interest since the Su-
preme Court recently upheld the
Wagner law.

Michigan Beats

In Opening Tilt
Fishman Holds BuckeyesI
To Three Hits As Team
Opens Title Defense
By FRED H. DE LANO
COLUMBUS, O., April 19.-(Spe-
cial to The Daily)-Michigan today
began the defense of its Big Ten
baseball championship by shuttingj
out Ohio State, 2-0, with Pitcher
Herm Fishman allowing the suppos-
edly powerful Buckeyes only three
hits. Two of these were scratch in-1
field safeties..1
The win was the fifth of the season
for the Wolverines who have been
touring the south for thepast week
and to date the "gas house gang"
from Ann Arbor has dropped but two
decisions. Fishman's pitching today
was the finest of his collegiate career
and resulted in his 11th straight tri-
umph, having never been beaten in
college baseball.
While Fishman's hurling was draw-
ing the plaudits of the packed stands,
the fielding at the hot corner by
Sophomore Walter Peckinpaugh alsoa
brought the fans to their feet several
times as he would come up with sen-
sational stops. In all he accepted
nine chances without an error,
throwing all of these hitters out at
first with a powerful whip across the
infield.
Michigan scored lone counters i %
the fifth and sixth frames, Vic Hey i
liger crossing the plate in the fifth
and Steve Uricek tallying in the
sixth. The Wolverines could touch
Buckeye John Dagenhard for only
four hits but had many more scoring
opportunities than did Ohio. The
Bucks had but two men left on base
while Michigan had eight.
Heyliger drew. a pass to open the
fifth and went to second on a bunt
by Fishman. Don Brewer also bunt-
ed and Pitcher Dagenhard threw to
