All of the defendants in today's trial, which will be presided over by Justice Jay H. Payne, were present, and one of the attorneys for six of them, Michael Evanoff, '36L, arrived from Flint during the meeting. Edward Magdol, '39, reporter for The Daily who is charged with the use of "profane" language, an- nouncecl yesterday that he will be represented by George J. Burke, at- torney for the University. Lehman Represents Defendents Arthur C. Lehman, Democratic mayoralty candidate in the last elec- tion, is also retained by the other six defendants. In addition to Magdol, those who will go on trial are Tom Downs, '39, president of the SWF; Arnold H. Kambly, '38; Joseph Bernstein, '39; Rafael W. Haskell, '38E; Ralph Nea- fus, '36F&C; and Paul Christman, 1059 Lincoln Ave. Neafus, Downs, Bernstein and Has- kell are charged with addressing a gathering without a permit. Neafus and Downs were arrested in front of th Ann Arbor Recreation Center, 605 E. Huron St., the scene of the strike. The other two were arrested during a later demonstration at the Police Station. Christman and Kambly were ar- rested at the scene of the strike on charges of using "profane" language. Evanoff told the defendants not to worry about the possibility of fines being imposed by Judge Jayne today. Advises 'Take Courage',\ "I believe that if you fellows have to pay a fine there is no doubt that the fine could be raised in a day. Knowing the automobile workers as I do, I think that if no one else would furnish it they would." He empha- sized that he was not speaking as an official representative of the UAWA. He is a union attorney in Flint. "Take courage," he told them be- fore the SWF meeting. "The labor movement is on the march and I be- lieve you will get all possible support from it." The Federation voted unaimously to affiliate itself with the Michigan Conference for the Protection of Civil Rights, which the day after the arrests on Thursday, April 8, telegraphed a protest of police ac- tion to Police Chief Lewis W. Fohey. Milton Kemnitz, Grad., who pre- sided at the meeting, was elected as representatives sit in on the Coun- the conference. Vote To Join Council Members also voted to accept the invitation of the Ann Arbor Trades and Labor Council to have two SWF represnetatives sit in on the Coun- cil meetings. They elected Leonard Cheatum, Grad., and Gordon J. Gary, '37, as representatives. Jack Sessions, '40, described events leading up to the arrests and Kamb- ly, who until his arrest was not a member of the SWF, described a bystander's version of the arrests. Bernstein and Naefus also spoke briefly. Cheatum spoke on SWF contacts with other organizations. He climaxed his speech with the following assertion: "We are heading toward a goal which is not only approved but fully endorsed by all liberal, progressive. and labor organizations."

The Centennial Issue Is Stolen "I honestly think they will return,' moaned Gilbert Tilles, Gargoyle ed- itor and Preposterous Person No. 42. last night as he patiently peered out of the broken Gargoyle window and wailed "O, Bring Back My Gargoyles To Me." With 2,000 of his prize 52-page, 25- cent Centennial issues taken by pub- lic benefactors in the deep of the night, Tilles was still waxing opti- mistic, under strain, as The Daily went to press. He named as suspects Fred Warner Neal, who was to have been Gargoyle's Preposterous Person No. 41, and Bonth Williams, Daily columnist, because of the long stand- ing Williams-Tilles family feud. Retaliating to the accusations of Tilles, both Neal and Williams ac- cused Tilles and C. Grant Barnes business manager of the Gargoyle, of pulling a publicity stunt. The sale was to have begun at 8 a.m. today. Williams appeared further impli- cated when the Gargoyle received a collect telegram signed by "Buesser" saying "You will find your Gargoyles at the Golfside Riding Academy at 4 o'clock this afternoon." Subse- quent investigation proved fruitless. "Five hundred dollars for sales, one thousand dollars for ads, one hundred and fifty dollars for engrav- ing and five hundred dollars for in- cidentals," groaned Tilles last night as he began counting up his loss. The loss of the books was first dis- Classes Million U.S. Students Are Expected In Peace Move; Dismissed Great National Movement Wanted: Some Girls By College, High School -p-i Students Will Be Held For Hostess Jobs The local chapter of the fraternity, founded here in 1925, had lapsed in 1931, due to an unusually large grad- \ ation of members, and the cere- monies were in the nature of a re- vival. Max Mitchell, GradSM, a former member of the Alpha chap- ter of Oklahoma A.&M., presided at the initiation. Prof. William D. Revelli was inducted as an honorary member. Miller was elected president of the chapter for the coming year.

They indicated it would be thec most vigorous attempt in history to1 unionize a field which is sometimesc known as "Bloody Harlan." National unions have never been able to obtain a permanent footholdc there, and the LaFollette civil liber- ties committee of the Senate is now airing charges that company-paid deputies have stamped out previous unionization attempts with a reignc of terrorism.' Organizers Arrive { William Turnblazer, a district pres- ident of the U.M.W., announced that1 16 organizers had arrived in Harlan within the past 24 hours. . Turnblazer, here in connection with the Senate investigation, said additional men would be sent in "as fast as we can bring them from other parts of the country." He declared the organizers had posted notices in mining territory that "the Wagner Act is now the law of the land, and has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court." UAW Backs Move Meantime, another union affiliated with Lewis' committee for industrial organization, the United Automobile Workers, pledged allegiance anew to the committee in a resolution adopt- ed today by its executive board. Homer Martin, UAW president, 'said the resolution could be inter- preted as meaning the Automobile Workers Union has "grown up." "We have reached the position where we no longer need help from the CIO, but can aid in its organiza- tion campaigns in other industries," he said. Murphy States C ivil Service Is 'Essential' LANSING, April 21.-(R)-Gover- nor Murphy took a personal hand today in a move to bring about legis- lative action on civil service. He conferred with a number of members of the House, including some on the State Affairs Commit- tee in which the Merit System mea- sure is locked. The Governor told the legislators that Civil Service is essential to good government, as well as to good politics. "The best way for any political party to gain and hold strength is to give the state the best possible gov- ernment," the Governor declared. "For this, efficient and experienced employes, safe-guarded from ma- chine politics are necessary." The executive said he believes House factions opposed to the bill passed by the Senate are becoming conscious of a public demand for civil service. He declared thinking leaders of major political parties agree that the change is vital. Murphy cited Detroit as an illustra- tion of improved government be- cause of Civil Service. covered yesterday morning by Barnes.w At 3 p.m. a hole in one of the Gar- goyle window's was found and at 3:30 calities. from strikes to peace assem- p.m. there was another hole in the blies approved by school authorities. window when the police, in endeav- He said 40,000 college students and oring to rehearse the crime, broke an' (Continued on Page 2)I Hopwood Head Regrets Small Essay Turnout Most Of 67 Manuscripts Received Are In Field Of Short Fiction A striking dearth of entries in the ninor essay division of the Hopwood' Awards was discovered yesterday when the manuscripts were counted following the close of the contest, only four students having entered work in that section. In contrast to this figure, no less than 21 students entered material in minor fiction, the most popular di- vision of the awards. Prizes for these two types of writing are identical ac- cording to the contest rules, two awards of $250 each being provided in each division, as well as in minor poetry and drama. According to Prof. Roy W. Cowden, director of the Hopwood Awards, the disproportion between the number of entries in minor fiction and essay is particularly regrettable in view of the fact that most students can write quite as capably in the one field as in the other. Many students doubt their ability to write essays, he said, and prefer to concentrate their ef- forts on fiction, a tendency to be de- plored in the light of the equality of value of the two forms of writing. (Continued on Page 2) Say Treasury Will Push Old Tax Revenues WASHINGTON. April 21-(/P)- Informed officials predicted today that if the Administration. asks Con- gress for new taxes next session the Treasury will seek to avoid invasion of state and local revenue fields. Treasury experts are conducting a broad canvass of the entire ta structure in line with policies laid down in President Roosevelt's bud- get message yesterday. The experts were reported concen. trating on methods of increasing the cash inflow through existing chan- nels prior to any effort to develoi new revenue sources. For example, the Internal Revenue Bureau announced today that tax- payers must pay social security levies regardless of pending litigation, of suffer penalties if the Supreme Court validates the Security Act. Mr. Roosevelt, revising earlier budget estimates, told Congress yes. erday that the Treasury would re- port in November on possible meth ods of stepping up collections under !.

Speakers who were scheduled to address student meetings include Governor Elmer A. Benson of Minne- sota at the University of Minnesota; Senator Gerald P. Nye at Montclair (N. J.) State Teachers College and Princeton; Eddie Cantor at San Ber- nardino (Calif.) Junior College; and Francis Lederer at Los Angeles Jun- ior College. . This will be the fourth annual stu- dent demonstration against war. State Senate Passes Repeal Of Loyalty Oath LANSING, April 21.-P)-The Senate voted today to repeal the law requiring teachers in public schools and state educational institutions to take an oth of allegiance to the con- stitution. The Dotsch Bill, wiping out a measure enacted two years ago re- quiring such an oath, was adopted by a vote of 23 to 4. It goes to the House. Sen. D. Hale Brake, Republican, Stanton, attempted to substitute a bill which would require teachers to take the oath only when they re- ceived their certificates instead of each time they sign a contract, as demanded by the existing act. Hi motion was ruled out of order. Sen. James D. Dotsch, Democrat Garden, declared loyalty and patriot ism cannot be legislated into schoo teachers. He contended the presen law complicates the employment o: teachers and frequntly leads to in- validation of contracts. ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN DIES After an illness of several months Miss Rosina K.

MadridShelled, Six Food Ships Off For Bilbao Rebels Pinched In Teruel Salient; Loyalists Drive At Toledo And Cordoba (By The Associated Press) The terror and strategy of Spain's civil war fell most heavily Wednesday on the non-combatant population of Madrid. The capital trembled under the most severe artillery bombardment of its siege, now nearly half-a-year old. It was the 10th day of steady shelling and the day's death toll raised the total of fatalities for the 10-day strafing to 200. Twice that many had been injured. Thirty-two were known to have died in only the morn- ing hours of the bombardment, which continued intermittently until 6 p.m. Shells Enter City More than 250 shells screamed into the city. Scenes of carnage and de- struction were many. Foreign cor- respondents dodged shells on the streets and worked in buildings trem- bling under the explosions. In French St. Jean de Luz, nearest foreign, haven to the beleaguered Spanish Basque capital, Bilbao, six British freighters were reported ready to attempt to run the insurgent blockade with food cargoes for Bil- bao's near-starving population. Dip- lomats at St. Jean de Luz believed they would sail under the "benevolent watch" of British warships, but the Admiralty in London denied there would be any convoying of blockade s runners. s Protect British Shipping Britain's stand, Sir Samuel Hoare head of the Admiralty told Parlia- ment, still is that British shipping 1 shall have full protection on the high t seas but must enter Spanish terri- f torial waters at its own risk. On at least four widely space - fronts the land war produced grim conflict, with uncontested govern ment claims of success on three fur ther advances into the Teruel salient , 150 miles east of Madrid; progres t to within two miles of Toledo, 4 , miles southwest of Madrid; captur t of new heights in the Cordoba battl area, still further south. Miner, Centner, Shulman To Be Student Speakers At Peace Meeting Professor Krueger To Give Address Petitions To Congress And President To Be Passed Out On Campus Today For an hour this morning the cam- pus will spend its usual activities while an estimated 4,000 students demonstrate their repudiation of war in the modern world. James S. Miner, '38L, William Centner, '38, Varsity debater, and Marshall D. Shulman, '37, associate editor of The Daily, will be the stu- dent speakers at the peace meeting at 11 a.m. on the mall by the School of Architecture, the Peace Council announced last night. Prof. Maynard Kreuger of the eco- nomics department of the University of Chicago, the main speaker at the demonstration, will present an eco- nomic interpretation of the war ques- tion. Julian Orr, '37, president of the Peace Council, will preside at the meeting at which the Varsity Band will play . Petitions bearing on the Hill-Shep- pard Bill, the Nye-Kvale Bill and military expenditures and foreign re- lations will be circulated on the cam- pus today and signed by students. Miner will present the collective se- curity approach to the war problem, Centner will discuss neutrality and Shulman will administer a resolution expressing unity with the other meet- ings in the nation-wide anti-war strike and will'explain the petitions. In the event of rain, which the weather man deems likely, the demonstration will be held in Hill Auditorium at the same time. "We expect at least 4,000 Mich- igan students at the Peace Demon- stration," Julian Orr, president of the Peace Council, said last night. "It is a cause that is close to the hearts of this generation and I am sure that Michigan will not fail to do its part with the million others demonstrating throughout the world,." The petitions, which will be circu- lated for signatures at the Library' steps, the Engineering Arch, the northwest corner of the diagonals and at other places on campus from 8 to noon and 1 to 2 p.m., read: "We, the undersigned, consider the tHill-Sheppard bill, which embodies the Industrial Mobilization Plan of the War Department, as an inade- quate means of taking the profits out of war and deplore it as a men- ace to civil liberties." "We, the undersigned, approve the _ Nye-Kvale bill fbr the abolition of compulsory military training in land z grant colleges."

Barrows Calls Troops .e After Violence Misinterpretation Is Reason For 'Mentality'_Scare, States Raphael Men And Beasts Will Parade City As Michigras Comes To Town The statement made yesterday by1 the Detroit Times that "Fearing in-1 sanity, approximately 6,500 students at the University of Michigan sought1 aid last year from psychiatrists" is an "unfortunate misinterpretation of the facts," Dr. Theophile Raphael of the Health Service said last night. "The actual situation is that some 1,200 students consulted Health Serv- ice physicians at various times during the year regarding personal prob- lems that are likely to arise in any population group," Dr. Raphael, who is in charge of menmal hyg:ene at the Health Service, said. "These stu- Aanfv w r.a intrurari nn nts, n on~rs n "Essentially," Dr. Raphael stated,1 "the consultations deal with relative- ly simple types of adjustment prob- lems and the number of serious clin- ical cases was relatively small. The college student is no more vulnerable to mental troubles than the average person. In fact, the student body of a university is a relatively select group and the advantage is on their side rather than against," Dr. Raph- ael added. "It is a mark of progressive trend that students are taking increasing advantage of the opportunity to talk over problems of mental hygiene while there is perhaps nothing se- Iri.^ic1v r TornO " h sa id- "Sileh , By ROBERT P.

Barrows to- night for mobilization of troops. Eight companies of Maine Nation- al Guardsmen received commands to move into the two cities where state troopers and police battled in two separate engagements late today with massed strikers. City Manager Frederick W. Ford of Auburn said a request for troops was transmitted to Governor Barrows af- ter a squadron of officers flung back attempts of 1,000 strikers and sym- pathizers to march on shoe factories in Auburn. The officers then used tear gas and clubs to disburse another large crowd which milled around two plants. Several participants, including state police lieutenant George Fowl-
