Heads Pledge Seniors To
Gentlemanly Conduct=
Ceremony To Start
In Later Afternoon
Approval of the traditional Senior
Swingout was granted yesterday by
the Senate Committee on Student Af-
fairs following submission of a pe-
tition signed by two class presidents
and heads of campus honor societies
seeking permission to hold the event
Sunday, May 23.
The petition was submitted by the
swingout committee h e a d e d by
Franklin T. Dannemiller, '37. It
pledged the signers and their organ-
izations to "faithfully attempt to pre-
serve order and gentlemanly con-
duct during the course of Senior.
Swingout."f
Cooperation Needed
"We realize that in the past the
greatest objection to the continuance
of this tradition has been its disord-
erdliness and that our cooperation is
necessary to its revival," the petition
stated. "While we cannot attempt to
police Ann Arbor in entirety on that
day, we will cooperate to the fullest
extent by placing members in the line'
of march and along the way."
"In making this request," the pe-
tition read, "we ask the committee
to consider that many campus tradi-
tions are fast fading. Here is one
that we feel worthy of preservation if
properly conducted. We also feel that
we are in a position to see that it is
so conducted. The student body, as
we have sampled it, seems heartily
in favor of it."
. Begins At 4:30 P.M.
The Swingout ceremonies will be-
gin at 4:30 p.m. and are expected to
end at 6 p.m. In the event of rain
it will be held the following day.

ter a lapse of four years. It had been

Bomb Bilbao
Food Shortage Reported1
In Basque City Shelled
By RebelAirplanes
BILBAO, Spain, May 12.-()-In-
surgent airplanes dumped more than
100 bombs into the suburbs of ha-
rassed Bilbao today but did not ful-t
fill Gen. Emilio Mola's threat to blast'
the Basque capital to bits.
Terror-stricken inhabitants, mind-..
ful of the insurgent northern com-1
mander's warning he would bombard
the city "without mercy" if it did not
surrender by today, ducked for cover
three times as nine bombing planes
and seven pursuit planes roared over
Bilbao.
Several gasoline tanks were set
aflire and nearby buildings were de-t
stroyed. Clouds of dark smoke bil-
lowed over the city.
With more than 300,000 persons
packed into Bilbao, food supplies
again were running low as those re-
cently brought in by British and
French ships neared exhaustion.
Basque officials asserted they were
informed Mola had chosen today forj
the expiration of his ultimatum be-
cause the eyes of the world would be
turned away from the Spanish civil
war toward the London coronation.
Indignation which would follow a
violent attack on the civilians in the
city thus would be lessened, they said.
Loyalists Attack Toledo
TOLEDO, Spain, May 12.-(IP)-
Heavy government attacks against
historic, insurgent-held Toledo de-
veloped today into a mass offensive
in which, insurgents said, the at-
t a c k e r s suffered "unprecedented
slaughter."
Waves of government infantry
charged insurgent positions south of
the Tajo River, as a climax to four
days of fighting.
Insurgents clung to positions they
took four days ago on the Merida
highway, West of Toledo.
Insurgents braced their lines to-

Lewis Demands
AFL Concede
'CIO Tenets'
Labor Head Accuses Green
Of 'Treason' Against
Own Organization
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 12.-]
(k)-John L. Lewis demanded today
complete surrender by the American,
Federation of Labor as the price of,
peace with his own Committee for;
Industrial Organization.
Addressing a meeting of the second,
largest of his CIO unions-the Inter-,
national Ladies Garment Workers-
Lewis said:t
Accuses Green
"If the Federation wants peace, let
it issue some statement that it is
willing to concede the principles on
which the CIO was founded."
Then he referred to the automobile
workers he organized and shouted:
"You can take my word for it, they
do not want peace with the AF of L.'
And neither do I."
He accused William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, of committing "treason"
against his own organization; "not
merely treason," he said, but "moral
turpitude," by seeking to prevent a
settlement of the CIO automobile
strikes.
520 Delegates Attend
Lewis came to address the 520 dele-
gates representing 240,000 garment
workers after some leaders of their
union, including President David Du-
binsky himself, had expressed hopes
for peace between the warring labor
groups.
But today after Lewis had de-
nounced the federation and President
Green, the delegates stood and ap-
plauded.
"Peace in the labor movement?"
Lewis asked. "Who created war? The
CIO did not withdraw from the AF
of L. They dedicated themselves to
the proposition of organizing unor-
ganized workers and bringing them
into the AF of L. If that was a crime1
or treason, the federation has made
the most of it." ,

Mem. ers Hee
Michigan's honor freshman, 52 in
number, were taken into Phi Eta Sig-
ma, national honorary fraternity for
freshman men, at the initiation ban-
quet held last night in the Union.

lish department addressed the ini-
tiates on "The Obligations of A
Scholar." Dean Joseph Bursley out-
lined the history of the campus chap-
ter of Phi Eta Sigma.
Men initiated last night included
from the literary school: Richard Ab-

Of Loitering
SWF President Sentenced
To Pay $18.40 Or Spend
10 Days In Jail
High Court Appeal
To Come In October.
Tom Downs, '39, president of the
Student Workers' Federation, was
sentenced yesterday to $5 fine and
$13.40 costs or 10 days in jail for
"loitering" at the scene of a strike
here nearly five weeks ago.
Downs was released on $20 bond
furished by Prof. John F. Shepard of
the psychology department. He will
appeal the decision, which was hand-
ed down by Justice Jay H. Payne, Oct.
4 in Circuit Court. /
Carey Testifies
Sergt. Norman Cook of the Ann
Arbor police department arrested
Downs for speaking in front of the
Ann Arbor Recreation Center, scene
of the strike, without a permit from
the mayor. Since the arrest no one
has been able to find the ordinance
requiring a permit. The charge was
changed to "loitering."
The verdict of guilty came immed-
iately after Raymond Carey, clerk in
Wahr's bookstore, testified that pe-
destrians had had no difficulty in get-
ting through or around the picket
line the night of the demonstration.
Carey said he did not see cars
double-parked on Huron St., that he
did not see police directing traffic
and that he could not understand
from across the street what Downs,
who spoke "for about 15 minutes,"
was saying.
Bernstein Next
Declaring that the verdict rested on
the interpretation of the word "dis-
turbance," Justice Payne said police
have a right to relegate public gath-
erings to certain areas. Downs, he
said, merely protracted the disturb-
ing situation, that Ralph Neafus,
'36F&C, found guilty recently of the
same charge, had created by his
speech.
Joseph Bernstein, '39, another of
the five students in the series of "dis-
orderly conduct" arrests of April 8,
will come up for trial next week, ac-
cording to Arthur C. Lehman, attor-
ney for the SWF defendents.
Cinema Actors
Assist Strikers
With Cash Aid
HOLLYWOOD, May 12.- (I) -
High-salaried movie stars, whose
Screen Actors' Guild recently reached
a separate peace with film producers
are contributing "substantial finan-
cial support" to striking studio crafts-
men, a union leader declared today.
"We haven't asked for - that kind
of help, but a lot of substantial fi-
nancial support has been given by
the stars. They are all for us."
Hollywood headquarters of the Fed-
erated Motion Picture Crafts were ju-
bilant today over reports that pick-
eting of theatres has begun, or will
start tomorrow, in key-cities through-
out the United States.
Charles Lessing, business manager
of the union and generalissimo of the
striking workers, said:
"We have received word from Ho-
mer Martin, president of the United
Automobile Workers, that 11 Detroit
theatres are to be picketed, starting
tomorrow night. He tells me that
picketing will go on from 10:30 a.m.
until 9 p.m. daily until we've won our
fight."

Hill Auditorium yesterday afternoon
swelled the strains of the Second
movement of Beethoven's Seventh
Symphony played by the Philadel-

With no one in the audience to
hear, the orchestra, through this
composition, paid tribute to the mem-
ory of a former comrade, J. Walter
Guetter, first bassoonist, who died in
Philadelphia 10 days ago.
Yesterday afternoon was the first
opportunity which the orchestra had
to honor the memory of their fellow

For Either Indictments
Or Vindication Of Men
Demands by citizens and civick
groups for action on the charges of
police brutality were met in a state-c
ment issued by Mayor Walter C. Sad-
ler last night, guaranteeing that thea
investigation of the Chase arrest1
would be "fair and complete."
Mayor Sadler stated, "The policet
commission started an investigationr
last Monday into all the phases ofc
this unfortunate situation. The in-
vestigation has been as fair and com-
plete as possible, and every effort has
been made to see justice done. I an-
ticipate that my report from the com-
missioners will be available tomor-
row."
Demands Answer
Prof. Wesley H. Maurer of the jour-i
nalism department, chairman of the t
executive board of the Citizens' Coun-
cil demanded that the city govern-
ment make definite answers to the
charges of brutality during the ar-t
rest of Chase by Patrolman Suma.t
Professor Maurer's statement was
as follows:1
"The executive board of the Citi-
zens' Council discussed at its weeklys
meeting today allegations of police
brutality in a recent arrest and in
connection with other instances. Thei
board has taken no formal action forc
ratification by its members, but it is
awaiting with interest a formal re-
port of the police commissioners of
their inquiry into the allegations and
it expects members of the City Coun-
cil to demand a report should the
police commissioners be of a mind to
withhold their findings.
Destroys Confidence
"Either the police officer in ques-
tion should be vindicated of the
charges of brutality or else he should
be properly disciplined. The com-
munity of Ann Arbor cannot afford
to. tolerate a libel against its police
force, for allegations of sadistic bru-
tality destroy confidence in the of-
ficei's of the law. Neither can the
community tolerate any member on'
the staff~of police who does not reflect
this community's refinement and re-
straint, for the power of the law is
weakened when its administrators
and their subordinates become hard-
ened to the community's sensibilities.
"We, with many others, hope the
charges will prove to be unfounded,
but we will, I am confident, join oth-
er citizens in insisting that there be
some intelligent report to the com-
munity of the inquiry.,"

Spectacle And Parade
LONDON, May 12.-()-A thou-
sand years of history lived and moved
in solemn splendor to crown George
the Sixth in hallowed Westminster
Abbey today.
Outside London's massed millions
cheered along a six-mile royal route
from Buckingham Palace.
But it remained for a six-year old
girl to humanize the whole spectacle.
Among the great of mighty Britain
and envoys from the world, Princess
Margaret Rose, youngest daughter of
King George and Queen Elizabeth,
was just a little girl.
The princesses sat through the two-
hour ceremonial between their grand-
mother, Queen Mary, and their aunt,
the princess ,royal..
King Is Nervous
Queen Mary, mother of abdicated
Edward and the newly crowned
George, appeared the bulwark of the
monarchy. Everywhere she was ac-
claimed with an added respect that
marked her as one apart, beloved
of her people.
The new king seemed nervous dur-
ing the opening stages of the long
service, but appeared to gain confi-
dence as the ceremony progressed.
Both he and Elizabeth were solemn,
pale and unsmiling while ,in the ab-
bey.
And while the well-rehearsed cor-
onation was solemnized a half hour
late, an estimated two millions waited
along the procession road back to
Buckingham.
More than 7,000 fainted among
those who gathered through the
night to cheer. It was the greatest
crush London has known. Two died.
A girl fell down an elevator shaft
and a youth was killed fighting in
the crowd.
Rain Marks Ceremony
Rain fell as the monarchs left the
abbey in early afternoon, but the
crowd stuck it out and there were
cheers and shouts at every turn of
the long route. homeward, where
George in the evening broadcast to
the empire his thanks to his half bil-
lion subjects.
The climax came at 12:30 p.m.
The venerable Archbishop of Can-
terbury stepped before the altar and
tqok into his hands the crown of
St. Edward. A new king was crowned.
He had received the sceptre, "ensign
of kingly power and justice." In clear
and steady voice he had taken the
oath to rule justly.
He was proclaimed under the bless-
ing of the church to rule the peoples
of Great Britain, Ireland, Canada,

will push their final drive for funds
from city business men today before
opening tomorrow's annual Tag Day.
William Barndt, '37, and Walter

day for more volunteers to help sell
the tags on the campus, asking stu-
dents interested to notify Lane Hall.
Most of the Tag Day will be in the
hands of these men, it was said, as
the camp staff will be campaigning
in the downtown sections of the city.
Donations continued to be received
from campus business men, it was
announced, in the last drive for funds
in the State Street section.
Suggestion that the Tag Day would

given by Luszki, whd cited the need
for funds to meet the rising food
