GovernorMurphy's WiagnerAct'
Will Go To Legislature Today
ichigan's Strike Policy
Was 'Neutral,' He Says
At Case Club Dinner
By TUURE TENANDER
A "model labor relations act" for
Michigan will be introduced in the
State Legislature today, Gov. Frank
Murphy said last night in his address
at the annual Case Club dinner in
the Law Club.
Announcement of the initiation of
the act, which the Governor said he
"would be proud to introduce," came
in the middle of his talk last night
and was the first definite statement
as to when the "Wagner Act" for
Michigan would be presented to the
legislators.
A plea for fundamental principles
of government that will withstand
the onslaughts of temporary currents
of change and yet permit progress
and evolution was made by the gov-
ernor in his talk.
Stating that these strong govern-
mental principles are especially
necessary at the present time, Gov-
ernor Murphy said, "It is a colossal
weakness among those in public life
that they yield and bend before the
immediate problems, losing sight of
the long-time end."
"There is nothing inconsistent in
progressive government with prac-
tical government," the Governor
said. "A government canabe socially
minded and progressive and at the
same time competent," he added."
The constitution was not designed to
meet the problems of any particular
period but was intended to carry the
nation through the ages."

Varsity Stops
Toledo's Rally
And Wins, 7 - 6
Gee, Smith, Fishman All
Pitch; Twelve Fanned
As Ten Walk
Herman Fishman throttled a belat-
ed Toledo rally in the ninth inning
yesterday to give Michigan a 7-6
victory in a weird contest that
marked the opening of the home sea-
l son for Coach Fisher's Varsity base-
ball nine.
Fishman was the last of a trio of
Wolverine pitchers that fanned 12
opposing batters, walked 10 and blew
a 7-0 lead. Burt Smith crowned the
freakish mound performance by hit-
ting Bill Mattison, Toledo catcher,
on the head with a fast ball in the
seventh inning.
Michigan made four runs in the
second inning without hitting a ball
out of the infield. Steve Uricek and
Mlierle Kremer walked and Danny
Smick was safe on an error by
"Howdy" Camp, Toledo pitcher, to
fill the bases. Bob Campbell then
hit a grounder to Marty Slovak at
third who slipped on the wet grass
and Uricek crossed the plate with
the first run of the game. Kremer
and Smick scored on Heyliger's and
Gee's infield outs and Don Brewer
was safe at first when Camp's throw
hit him in the back as he was racing
down the first base line, Campbell
scoring on the play. Walt Peckin-
paugh ended the inning by ground-
ing out third to first.
Big John Gee started on the mound

GOV. FRANK iviURPHY
Police Testify
Neafus Tied Up
Huron Traffic
Could Have Rerouted Area
If Permit Were Given,
Sgt. Cook States .
Trial of Ralph Neafus, '36F&C, for
"loitering" on the scene of a strike
here three weeks ago, was adjourned
at 5 p.m. yesterday after five Ann
Arbor policemen had testified that
the defendant had "congested" traf-
fice immediately preceding his ar-
rest.
Testimony will be resumed at 10
a.m. today in Justice Jay H. Payne's
court.
Sgt. Norman E. Cook, the first
wvitness, testified that he had arrest-
ed Neafus only after he had told him
he'd "have to take him in if he failed
to heed the warning" to stop address-
ing the crowd which had gathered
around the picket line."
Under questioning of Arthur C.
Lehman, one of Neafus' attorneys
he said that Neafus had been ar-
rested because he did not have a
speaking permit from the mayor. I
he had had a permit, Cook said, po-
lice would have rerouted traffic to
avoid the "congested" area.
Other officers to testify were Ju-
lius Ehnis, Albert Heusel, Edward
Iler and Casper Michelson.
All said that when Neafus began
to speak he attracted a crowd that
made it impossible for a pedestrian
to pass the building Each officer
testified that he had had to aid per-
sons in entering the Ann Arbor Rec-
reation Center, 605 E. Huron St., the
scene of the strike.'
Lehman and Michael Evanoff, wh
is also representing Neafus, said tha
Neafus would be the defense's firs
witness.
"About three more policemen" wil
be put on the witness stand before
Neafus, however, according to Ser
geant Cook.

Jackson youth
fIs Jailed Here
After Assault
Clarence A. Patrick, 25 years old,
Jackson, yesterday _was in County
Jail after he admitted he had in-
tended to assault Elinor West, 17
year old high school girl, Tuesday
night.
Miss West, daughter of Police Sgt.
e Clifford West, balked the attempted
assault by slipping the chain-lock be-
fore opening the door of the West
t home, 906 Fifth St., when her suspi-
cions were aroused by the growling
of her pet dog.
e Miss West was preparing for bed
shortly before midnight when the
doorbell rang. She thought it might
have been her father, and went down-
stairs to let him in. She slipped the
chain after hearing the dog's growl-
ing. As she opened the door, the
assailant pushed hid leg through the
opening in the door and grabbed her
by the arm. She screamed and
aroused her mother, who was asleep.
, The screams startled the assailant so
much he released his grip.
n Her mother came downstairs and
- called the police. Two radio equipped
- police scout cars, the Washtenaw
e sheriff's patrol car and five State
Police cars quickly joined in a road
blockade.

Budget Raise

Congress Approves Award t
Of Over 83 Millions r
To Federal Agencies 1
T' A Grants Totalr
Set At $44,166,270
WASHINGTON, April 28.-()--e
The House climaxed a day of econ-
omy debate today by approving an1
outright increase of $4,000,000 in the
session's second deficiency appropria-f
tion.
Without a record vote, the cham-I
ber then passed the measure carrying
$83,146,943 for the Tennessee Valley1
Authority and a number of otherc
Federal agencies.t
Despite Republican appeals for
"real economy," the House added $4,-
000,000 to the TVA's appropriationt
for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
This action came after authorization '
for the TVA to make electrical equip-
ment contracts for a similar amount,
had been stricken out on a point of
order raised by Minority Leader Snell;
(Rep., NY.).
Gives TVA $44,166270
The change would give the TVA a
total of $44,166,270, approximately
$4,524,000 less than it had this year.
As finally approved, the measure
carried about $14,060,000 less than
the total recommended by the budget
bureau
Although the only reduction effect-
ed on the House floor was the elimin-
ation of $60,000 for salaries of as-
sistant attorneys in the Justice De-
partment, the House beat down sev-
eral attempts to increase the bill.
Some of the hottest debate on the
measure centered on the TVA ap-
propriations.
Discounts Impounding
Earlier in the day, Representativej
Taber of New York, a Republican
leader, told the House that a Demo-;
cratic proposal to impound 15 per
cent of all of next year's governmen-
tal appropriations subject to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's orders "will not re-
sult in any economy whatsoever."
Legislation to authorize the im-
pounding was introduced late yes-
terday by Representative Cannon
(Dem , Mo.) and Speaker Bankhead
said it had President Roosevelt's ap-
proval. It would permit the Presi-
dent to restore all or part of the im-
pounded funds as he saw fit.
Some Democratic leaders contend-
ed that the President, who recently
announced an economy campaign,
should be given broad discretion in
making cuts.
Seek To Make ROTC
Compulsory Here
LANSING, April 28.-(/P)-A mea-
sure introduced in the legislature to-
day by Rep. F. Dean Morley, Demo-
crat, New Troy, would make military
training ior men compulsory at the
University of Michigan.
Morley's bill would make one year's
training in military tactics a manda-
tory condition to enrollment at the
University. Military training now is
optional with the University students,
but compulsory at Michigan State
College for two years.
Rep. Frank N. Steele, Democrat,
Muskegon, introduced a bill to per-
mit parochial schools to share in
state school aid funds
A bill submitted by Rep. Joseph E.
Warner, Republican, Ypslianti, would
provide $400,000 to remodel the
Neuro-Psychiatric Institute at the
University of Michigan and install
additional equipment.

Ohio River Loosens Grip
On Wheeling; Residents
Are Left Homeless
Volunteers Begin
Refurishing Cities
WHEELING, W. Va., April 28 -(P)
-Flood waters of three states rolled
down the sluggish Ohio River tonight
eaving thousands homeless in their
wake.
Six lives were lost in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia as a result of the
high waters.
The river released its grip on tae
Wheeling industrial district of ap-
proximately 200,000 population as the
third day of the flood threat ran its
course.
Danger of catastrophic flood dam-
ge diminished throughout the north-
ast American flood area as the Ohio
ed the retreat of rainswollen wa-
erways back to their normal chan-
nels.
Municipal cleanup squads and dis-
odged residents followed with mops
nd brooms. the slow recession of the
waters.
Three thousand persons were
homeless in Wheeling tonight as the
Ohio inched back into its banks.
Many hours still remained before
the muddy waters would seep to a
safe margin below the flood's crest of
45.9 feet reached early today. The
flood stage is 36 feet
Wheeling undertook its mop-up
campaign calmly, thankful that the
damage can be reckoned in thpus-
ands instead of millions of dollars as
was the case in the record flood of
1936 which reached a crest of 55.5
feet.
Normalcy returned to the historical
"flood city" of Johnstown, Pa., which
bore the brust of the first attack of
the tributaries to the north Monday.
The Stony Creek and Conemaugh
Rivers, which had poured two feet,
of water into main business streets,
flowed placidly southward tonight,
seven feet below the 16-foot flood
stage.

By Thames Overflow
THAMESVILLE, Ont., April 28 -
(Canadian Press)-The worst flood
here in 30 years poured through
Thamesville tonight, damaging homes
and business property and engulfing
many acres of nearby farmland.
Since 7 p.m. yesterday, the Thames
River rose 24 feet and poured over
its banks this morning at this town,
15 ;miles northeast of Chatham
Thamesville tonight was virtually
isolated and water six to eight feet
deep covered two square miles.
Thamesville has a population of
800.
One thousand of the villagers and
residents of the surrounding country
fled their homes, many rescued by
motor trucks that backed up to'their
homes before the water became too
deep. Boats were rushed here from
Chatham and other places.
Many of the refugees crowded in-
to the Tecumseh Hotel, where they
were fed and provided with sleeping
quarters. In the rural district affect-
ed there was a hurried evacuation of
livestock.
Tonight, a~ worried populace an-
xiously watched the river for an in-
dication of recession but there was
nohe.
JThe rampaging Thames already
had spread destruction estimated at
$3,000,000 in London, about 25 miles
to the northeast. A broad section of
London was coated with slime today.

By ALBERT MAYIO
"All washed out!"
That's how faculty men felt wher
last year's Spring Parley was over
according to Dr. Edward W. Blake-
man, University counselor in religious
education.
"That's how they feel every yeas
when another Spring Parley wind:
up," he said. "But they all enjoy it
hard work and all, for the Parley is a
real and sincere thing," he continued
The Spring Parley has come tc
mean deep sincerity, and it usually
ends in a wholesale appreciation of
faculty men by students, Dr. Blake-
livisions are: politics, economics, in-
ernational relations, art, education,
'eligion and social life). However, he
ndicated that the discussion will not
e limited to these issues as reported
n yesterday's Daily. "They are mere-
ly suggestions of possible lines of de-
bate," he said.
"The Parley is not a series of
earned lectures by professors," he
emphasized. "It is not a debate upon
an 'either-or' proposition where one
group defends one, and another group
the opposite thesis.
Rather the Spring Parley is a frank
and lively consideration of many
