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. Swingout was revived last year af- ter a lapse of four years.

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.

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." , Phi Eta Sma Takes 52 New 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.

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."

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.," Steelworkers Begin Strike At Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH, May 12.-(IP)- Britain's Millions Acclaim NewKing On Six-Mile March Coronaion Delayed Briefly For Crowd All But Edward In Royal Fanily Watch Historical 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, (Continued on Page 2) City Campaign For Boys Camp ClosesToday With a goal of more than $2,000.set for their aim, Fresh Air Camp men will push their final drive for funds from city business men today before opening tomorrow's annual Tag Day.
