Blakeman Speaks To Peace Council Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, coun- selor in religious education,told the Peace Council last night in the Union that the four types of peace advo- cates. on campus should consolidate their efforts next year and use the Peace Council as a clearing house. The four groups, Dr. Blakeman said, are those who attribute war to economic causes; pacifists who for! ethical or religious reasons would not participate in a war; supporters of an international political organiza- tion, such as the League of Nations; and the group that believes prepared- ness and greater armaments will in- sure peace.

Gophers Down Michigan Nine By 4-0 Score 'By CARL GERSTACKER Minnesota's Gophers, behind the six hit pitching of sophomore Howie Schultz, took the opening game of their two-game series with Coach Ray Fisher's Varsity nine yesterday by a 4-0 score. The two teams will meet again at 4 p.m. today in the contest that will betMichigan's last Big Ten game of the current sea- son. The Gophers, called the "hitless wonders" of the Conference, failed to live up to their reputation and un- leashed an 11 hit barrage that in- cluded a home run by Ray King while the Wolverines were able to garner but six singles. King hit his circuit blow in the second inning and the count re- mained at 1-0 until the sixth when Minnesota got to Herman Fishman's offerings for five hits and three runs. Uram opened the inning with an easy pop up to Fishman but Fossom and King followed with singles that put men on first and second. At this point, Kundla hit a hard line drive back at Herm that the chunky south- paw leaped for but missed and the ball traveled on out into centerfield and Fossom scored the second Go- pher run of the game, while Kundla and King went on to second and third. Pirsch then scored King and Kund- la with a hard single and went to third on shortstop Lee's single.

The Basque Government in a note to the European "hands-off Spain" committee in London protested "crim- inal action" of "German aviation at the service of the Rebels (Insur- gents.)" It charged the fliers were dropping incendiary grenades on towns and villages and machine gunning civilian populations. A Bilbao dispatch reported the British government notified British shipping in Bilbao harbor to leave as} soon as possible in view of the In-7 surgent advance, saying it would be impossible to guarantee them British naval protection.

No. 1 on the program was civil serv- ice, the re-writing of which has been entrusted to a "policy committee" of Democratic House members. Author- itative sources said it would go from the hands of the policy committee to the State Affairs Committee, which would report it on the floor 'of the House. The Senate measure was drafted by a civil service study com- mission appointed by the preceding administration and headed by Prof. James K. Pollock of the political sci- ence department. The hikh command also was con- fident that the quarreling of factions that have insisted on having their own way in the drafting of a labor relations bill would be smothered, A fight also was in progress over two other House measures, one which would repeal the requirement that school and college faculty members take an oath of allegiance to the Van Devanler Joins John II.

In the brief span of life of the Court, as lives of government insti- tutions go, 26 men have doffed their judicial garments in voluntary resig- nations. Justice Van Devanter's re- tirement, however, is in accordance with a law passed on March 1 of this year allowing members of the high bench who have served 10 years to retire after the age of 70 and re- ceive a pension of $20,000 annually. yh action the conservative Jus- Other Living Ex-Just ice and California fair trade laws were} also given by him. While the Washington correspon- dents and court experts of the coun-, try participate in some harmless speculation as to a liberal successor there looms onto the governmental horizon the rumor that the next to retire will be Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis. - In such an event the chances for Gov. Frank Murphy's appointment to the high court, making. him the second member of the court from Michigan, will be increased. The only representative in the highest chamber from the state was Henry B. Brown who was sworn in on Jan. 6, 1891 and who resigned on May 28, 1906. Another interesting fact in the his- r Amami I
