Vic Heyliger gave Michigan a 3 to 2 vic- tory over Minnesota to place the Wolverines in a tie with the Gophers for the Big Ten hockey title. A crowd of 4,500 fans, one of the largest of the season witnessed the thrilling game in the Minneapolis arena. A surprise score in the opening minutes of the game gave the Wol- verines a lead which they kept throughout the period. A minute and a half after the opening faceoff, Hey- liger, Michigan center, outsktated the Gopher forwards and set up a perfect play for his teammate, Gib James, who tallied the first score. 13 Minute Stall For the remaining 13 minutes of the period Coach Ed Lowrey's men held the puck and played a stalling game to protect their lead. The Gophers put on a powerful- offensive drive, but hard hitting . Minnesota men suffered two penalties for trip- ping. Jimmy Carlson, blond second- string center, started an offensive charge with the opening of the sec- ond period. Three minutes later, Ridgeway Baker, playing his first game in four weeks, scored with a powerful long shot from the blue line to tie the score. George Cooke then. counted for Michigan. ''Thrirn °dif lh rs Fight Hard fighting third-string Gophers with Randall at center and Kenny Anderson and Ray Wallace at wings bombarded the Michigan defense in third period with Randall scoring. Although handicapped by a short- age of men on the ice Coach Larry Armstrong's players kept Michigan out of its defensive zone. In the closing seconds four Minnesota skat- ers made a final charge toward the Michigan goal. A beautiful poke check gave Captain Hayliger a clean break, and he flipped the puck through Wilkinson's pads. Puppets Offer Dramatic Poem By.IbsenToday Peer Gynt, Greig's Music, To ,Be presented Twice; Mildred Olsen To Sing "Peer Gynt," Ibsen's famous dra- matic poem, with music by Grieg, will be presented by the Tatterman Marionettes and the University Sym- phony Orchestra in two performances today at 3:30 and at 8:30 p.m. in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The student symphony orchestra will be under the direction of Prof. Earl V. Moore, of the School of Mu- sic. The solo in the last act of the play will be sung by Mildred A. 01-, son, '37.f The use of marionettes in "Peer Gynt," according to Edward Mabley, co-producer, under whose direct su- pervision the company has come to Ann Arbor, facilitates its production, for, he said, characters more resem- bling Ibsen's original imaginative con- ception of trolls can be used, and the entire scale can be decreased yet giving the suggestion of the great magnitude of the original set. The Tatterman production of "Peer Gynt" is the largest marionettte show ever staged, he said, with 44 puppets in use. Concerning the use of puppets in adult productions, Mabley explained that the use of marionettes in this country "got off to a wrong start, being used principally for children's entertainment." But, he added, "it1 is our purpose to prove that marion- ettes can be utilized most effectively in adult presentations and it is partly fnrth *t. r** lfl O*Vth nXt w eh nCP to-r Dr. Sturgis Declares Disability At Age Of 70 Not GeneralRule Senility Attacks Sonme Men As Early As Age 45, Says Director Of Institute By WILLIAM SHACKELTON No general deterioration of intel- lectu l abilities occurs universally among men who have passed their seventieth birthday, Prof. Cyrus C. Sturgis, director of the Simpson Memorial Institute, pointed out yes- terday in commenting on the pro- posal to retire Supreme Court Jus- tices at that age. Senility overtakes some men as early as 45 or 50, Dr. Sturgis declared, while others may possess remarkable intellectual powers far beyond 70. Originality and initiative, however, appear to decrease in most people as the latter age is approached, although in this generalization, too, many ex- Eight Records Fall As Varsity Swimmers Win Iowa Is Swamped 55-29; Tom Haynie Breaks Two Intercollegiate Marks IOWA CITY, Feb. 26.-(M~-Seven National Intercollegiate records and one American mark for 20-yard pools fell here tonight as Michigan's cham- pionship swimmers easily downed Iowa in a Big Ten dal meet by a 55- 29 score. Five of the six Intercollegiate rec- ords and the lone American mark were set by Wolverines in the great- est exhibition of swimming ever seen in the University of Iowa pool. Each new mark by Coach Matt Mann's team was well applauded by a large crowd of 3,0.00 persons. Tom Haynie of the visitors ac- counted for two of the Intercollegiate records in the 220 and 440-yard free- style races with times of 2:09.7 and 4:47. The American record was set when the Wolverine 400-yard relay quar- tet of Walt Tomski, Baker Bryant, Bob Mowerson and Ed Kirar swam' the distance in 3:30.7. Other standards fell to the Mich- igan medley trio of Fred Cody, Jack Kasley and Mowerson who did 2:55, to Kirar in the 100-yard free-style in :51.4, to Kasley in the breast- stroke with 2:20.5 and to Ray Walters of Iowa in the 60-yard sprint with :28.9. Dick Westerfield gave the Hawk- eyes their second victory in nine events when he nosed out Cody in the 150-yard back-stroke and set a new university mark at 1:36. Ben Grady, Michigan's outstanding diver, had little trouble in his favorite event, totalling 118.6 pints. Frank Barnard, co-captain of the Wolverines along with Kasley, 'fin- ished behind Haynie in both the 220 and 440-yard events. The Michigan swimmers, who arc National Collegiate champions, meet Minnesota in Ann Arbor Saturday night..

As an example of a fertile or- iginality persisting to advanced years he cited Henry Ford. On the other hand, he said, in medical research work comparatively little new work is begun by men past 50, and the age of 62 has been set by Harvard Univer- sity as the time for retirement of the medical faculty members. Most business concerns, as well as the University have likewise estab- lished definite retirement ages, he pointed out, and have apparently considered this policy of merit. No Defiite Tests Definite tests to determine the ex- tent of deterioration of the mental faculties are not available, Dr. Stur- gis stated, because very intangible qualities are under appraisal. The onset of senility does seem to be connected with hardening of the ar- teries, however, he added. Judgment, in particular; cannot be evaluated by means of any present test; and it is this characteristic which is of primary importance in Supreme Court justices. Men at the age of 70, he empha- sized, may differ as widely in abilities as men of any other number of years. Individuality enters so strongly into any question of capability that no certain age can be set as delimiting a man's period of usefulness, he as- serted. Fixing some age such as 70 as a re- tirement point was, nevertheless, fa- vored by Dr. Sturgis as a desirable policy from standpoints other than the appearance of senility. Judges Quit At 70 Prof. John F. Shepard of the psy- chology department said yesterday he believes Supreme Court justices, like university professors, should be forced to retire at 70. "Certainly if professors are held to be unfit to teach when they reach' the age of 70, it would seem that justices of the nation's highest Court should be - also," Professor Shepard declared. Although there are always excep- tions to any age limit, Professor Shepard said, "speaking as a psychol- ogist I would say that 70 is a fair age at. which to make men etire from public service." End Of Conference Seen By Union, GM DETROIT, Feb. 26.1IP) - New strike negotiations broadened the labor front for the United Automobile Workers of America today as Union conferees approached agreement with General Motors Corporation officials on issues remaining from recent dis- putes. Representatives of Corporation and Union conferring for the ninth day discussed hourly and annual wage minimums and predicted that two more days might conclude their work. U.A.W.A. leaders wish the present sessions to end before Wednesday when they are scheduled to start ne- gotiations with the Chrysler Corpor- ation. Homer Martin, Union president, pointed his organizingdrive tonight iat the Edgewater, N.J., assembly plant pf the Ford Motor Company, third of the "big three" automobile producing companies. Two newsit-down strikes were called in automotive parts plants here by U.A.W. workers. About 1,000 employes of the Michgian Malleable Iron Company platn, producing parts for the Ford and Chrysler companies, refused to work until wage adjust- pients are agreed upon between the management and Union officials. Regent Board Accepts Gifts Of $166,536 Endowment Of $150,000 To Library Department Is LargestSingle Item Majority Of Funds Will HelpResearch Gifts totalling $166,536, including an endowment of $150,000 to the li- brary science department, were ac- cepted by the Board of Regents in its' February meeting yesterday. The en- dowment was made by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The income accruing from the en- dowment will probably be used to add another full-time professor to the library science department fac- ulty, Dr. William W. Bishop, head of the department, said in a statement issued by the President's office fol- lowing the meeting. Dr. Bishop left Thursday for Dallas, Tex., where he is to make an address. Recognize High Standing "This recognition of the high standing of the present work of this department is most gratifying," Dr. Bishop's statement read. "This gift will make possible a decided enlarge- ment of the work of training librar- ians at Michigan. "The Carnegie Corporation has al- ready shown its confidence in the quality of the work in librarianship at Michigan by sending here a number of younger librarians from New Zea- land, Australia and the Vatican to study in the library science depart- ment," he said. The Board of Directors of the Un- ion received $5,000 from the estate of Luella Jenkins Brandon, Cincinnatti, O., given in memory of her husband, George R. Brandon, '91E, and her brother-in-law, Samuel C. Brandon, '06E. The Regents accepted $6,000 from the Aaron Mendelson Memorial Trust for research in hypertension under the m ' dTre e of the surgery department Higbies Give $1,000 Prof. Henry H. Higbie of the elec- trical engineering department and Mrs. Higbie established an endow- ment of $1,000, to be known as the Jane H. Higbie award, for "original- ity in conception and excellence in workmanship, but not merely for high scholarship," in? the decorative and design department. A committee of five, the majority of which must be from the decorative and design de- partment faculty, was specified to award the fund yearly. Professor and Mrs. Higbie will provide $50 for an award this year and each year until the income from the fund is sufficient.

Despitetthe fact thatethe Wolver- ines have been looking bad during the past week in the daily drills follow- ing their victory over Purdue's Fire- house five, they will take the floor, favorites over the Buckeyes, the only team to down the Varsity and remain 'unbeaten in turn by the Michigan team this season. It is the Ann Arbor team's su- perior height, which failed to make any difference in the Ohio State team's 37 to 32 win, and its improve- ment in the last three weeks that is the basis for the feeling that the advantage is all on its side. Actually, however, it is an even game. The Wolverines are expected to be suffering from a let-down after UAWA Points Drive At Ford Auto Workers Stay-In Strikes All Over Nation Meet With Varies Success;_Affect 30,000 Tear Gas Breaks Fansteel Sit-Down (By The Associated Press) The Committee for Industrial Or- ganization, supporter of strikes in many sections of the nation, pointed its unionization drive toward Ford Motor Company employes yesterday (Friday). The U.A.W.A. sponsored the recent widespread strikes in General Motors plants and has arranged a collective bargaining conference with the sec- ond of the automotive industry's "big three," the Chrysler Motor Cor- poration. These significant moves shared at- tention with a wide range of disputes keeping an estimated 30,000 in idle- ness. New and forceful blows were dealt "sit down" strategists. A militant corps of officers drove 61 squatters from two Fansteel Metallurgical Cor- poration factories at North Chicago, in a spectacular tear gas attack. Start Drive In N.J. NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 26.--P)- With unionization of the 3,700 work- ers in the Ford Motor Company as- sembly plant at Edgewater his im- mediate objective, President Homer Martin of the United Automobile Workers of America tonight formally launched a C.I.O. membership drive in the highly industrialized area of northern New Jersey. Martin addressed a mass meeting sponsored by the Committee for In- dustrial Organization after announc- ing in New York that the Ford plant was number one on the list, with the oil refineries and textile plants next in line. SQ enment brought no im- mediate comment from Gov. Harold G. Hoffman; critic of the sit-down strategy employed by Martin's union in the recent automobile strikes. Hoffman has threatened to use "the entire resources of the state" to com- bat sit-down strikes here. Martin said he invited Governor Hoffman to attend tonight's meeting. Farnsworth Is Sent To Prison For Treason WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-(P)- Years in prison stretched tonight be- fore John S. Farnsworth, former American naval officer charged with delivering fleet secrets to the Jap- anese. As a warning to others who might be tempted "to sell out their coun- try," Justice James M. Proctor fixed his sentence today at from four to a dozen years. Farnsworth, grey-haired and brok- en at 43, listened listlessly as the court denounced him for communi- cating naval secrets to two Japanese naval attaches formerly stationed in EWashington. "Through deception, stealth, thiev- ery and imposition on your friends in the naval service," he heard the justice declare, "you succeeded in ob- taining confidential information and delivering it to these emissaries for money. "This was such a plot as is abhor- rent to every good citizen." Bill Passes Senate; Goes To Roosevelt Judges' Retirement Portugal, USSR Dodge Spanish Naval Control. LONDON, Feb. 26.-(IP)-European nations trying to set up an interna- tional barricade around Spain faced unexpected difficulties tonight. Decision of Russia and Portugal not to join a naval blockade of Spain with four other powers at first prom- ised a clear-cut way for the others to launch the program. Then it was recalled that it would' be necessary for each of the 27 na- tions in the neutrality combine to1 take separate measures to require shipping to comply with the control scheme. Some Can Meet Situation { Some nations, it was pointed out, presumably can meet the situation with existing government regulations, but Great Britain rushed preparation of a bill ordering ships bound for Spain to calldat "control ports or "anchorages" to take on committee agents. They will see that no for- eign arms or men are aboard. Informed sources said tonight it might be impossible to have the full details of the neutrality program in effect by the March 6 deadline, but expressed hope it could be made sub- stantially effective then. Land control phases of the block- ade were reported virtually settled today. The plan now calls for only 130 committee agents on the Franco- Spanish frontier-the same number Britain plans to put on the Portu- guese frontier-instead of 170. This satisfied French representatives, who had complained of the inequality of distribution in observers. Powers Assume Duties France and Britain, following with- drawal of Russia and Portugal from the sea patrol, will take back patrol zones they had originally relinquished to those nations. Russia had object- ed to patrolling the rough waters of' the Bay of Biscav BAYONNE, France, Feb. 26.-P)- The insurgent defenders of Oviedo fought on doggedly tonight from the very sewers of the ancient city, pushed underground by six days of Basque attack. Their machine guns spat back at the government attackers from the entrances to the dank, arched stone passages, high enough for a man to walk through in upright position. They were laid centuries ago, and today they forced a barricade and a place of refuge from government ground and air attacks. Eighty Geisha Girls Stage New Walkout OSAKA, Japan, Feb. 27.-(Satur- day) -(P) --Eighty geisha, famous dancing and singing girls of Japan, today staged a walkout unique in this strike-ridden world. The issues were similar to those vexing American industry-the girls complained they were not permitted to organize for collective bargaining -butthe methods were such as could be used only in Japan. The 80 marched to the top of a mountain near Osaka and there oc- cupied a well-known Buddhist temple. Plan Permits Justices Over 70, Serving 10 Years, To Retire Voluntarily F.D.R. Announces Air Talk March 9 Senator McCarran States If Act Becomes Law, It Will Ease Tension WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 - (P) - Congress enabled six members of the Supreme Court to retire on full pay for life today, with leaders hopeful that thereby the unremitting strain and tension aroused by the Roosevelt court reorganization program may be materially lessened. Although Senator Johnson (Rep., Calif.) asserted that any justice who withdraws from the court "t this particular time" will forfeit his res- pect, the Senate passed, 76 to 4, and sent to the White House a bill per- Fnitting such voluntary retirement hor judges who are 70 years old and have served ten years. F.D.R. Gives Support At the same time, President Roose- velt, who has endorsed the measure although it was not specifically in- rluded in his Court recommendations, announced a "fireside" radio talk for March 9. White House officials said they expected the address would in- clude a discussion of his Court pro- posals, which include a recommenda- tion that one new justice be placed on the Supreme bench for each judge over 70 who declines to step down. During the Senate's 45-minute de- bate, Senator McCarran (Dem., Nev.) .n charge of the voluntary retirement bill, said "It may be within the scope of possibility that this bill;11 eate4 " would relieve the tension that does prevail." Senator Robinson, the Dem- ocratic leader, and others prominent on both sides of the great dispute have expressed the same vie'vpoint, some even more forcibly. Celler Compromises When the bill passed the House recently, Representative Celler (Dem., N.Y.), an opponent of the general White House program who has shown a disposition to compromise, asserted that "if the justices do not avail them- selves of this retirement privilege, the issue will be cast back at us." He added: "Of course their dignity may be deemed 'considerably ruined. Self respect may also prompt them to refuse to retire. Perhaps a six month lapse of the time might bring calmer judgment - and resignations." As the bill would operate, Chief Justice Hughes, now 74, and Associate Justices Brandeis, 80, Van Devanter, 77, McReynolds, 75, Sutherland, 74, and Butler, 70, would have the privi- lee of retiring at once. This privilege has been extended to judges of the lower federal courts since 1919. They "retire" instead of "resigning." Thus they retain a tech- nical connection with the courts and have suffered no reduction of retire- ment salary, because the Constitution forbids any reductions in the re- muneration of a Federal judge. Court Not In Act Of 1919 ThewSupreme Court on the other hand was not included in the act of 1919. Its members could resign and trust to Congressional action for their p)ensions. The late Oliver Wendel 'Holmes had his annual 'stipend of $20,000 a year clipped to $10,000 by the Economy Act of 1933, and subse- quently the remaining $10,000 was ,jzut 15 per cent through a ruling of Comptroller General McCarl. In addi- tion, his pension was subject to in- come taxes. Although the bill passed today was not included in the President's spe- cific recommendations, it inevitably caused pointed references to the .greater program. Sit-Down Prevented By 300_Staying-In GRAND HAVEN, Mich., Feb. 26.- ()-A "stay-in" to prevent a "sit- down''-something new in labor dis- putes-was under way here tonight with about 300 employes of the Eagle Democracy Will Follow Army's Ousting Of Hitler, Says Prince The Nazi government of Germany, if overthrown from within, will fall at the hands of the army and result in the return of constitutional de- mocracy, Prince Hubertus Loewen- stein, leader in the suppressed Ger- man Catholic Center Party, said yes- terday. Characterizing the Hitler regime as "brutal, irresponsible, and im- moral," the exiled 30-year-old Prince maintained that the choice was not necessarily one between communism and fascism and that the "next" gov- ernment of Germany. will undoubt- edly be a democratic one. He emphasized that the main hope for the overthrow of the National Socialists, outside of an international war lay in a military coup, indicat- ing that the underground movements ly want political influence, not actual control of the government," he said. In an interview before his talk, thej Prince refused to predict the date of'I der Fuehrer's downfall for fear that "the Nazi secret police would find out and warn Hitler." He cried out against the spoliation of German culture and bitterly de- nounced the conditions that havej made it necessary for 2,000 scholars and professors, and 500 writers and artists to flee the Fatherland. He denied that a majority of the German people were favorable to Na- tional Socialism, and asserted that they were dominated by 300,600 se-, cret police and the Nazi party mem- bers. He pointed out that each city is divided into many small districts of a few blocks, each with a Nazi party Edmonson Agrees With Ruthven On Federal Education Control By HORACE GILMORE Pleased that President Ruthven has taken a stand against placing the state-supported educational institu- tions under more supervision of Washington "bureaucrats," - D e a n James B. Edmonson of the School of Education said yesterday that it was "unthinkable to allow Washington to control education in the various states." "I am perfectly in accordance with Dr. Ruthven's views on the federal control of education," Dean Edmon- son stated. "He has taken a stand the University should be proud of. Many college presidents are more leaving them a maximum of freedom in spending the money for educa- tional purposes," Dean Edmonson de- clared. y He then went on to tell of a com- mission that President Roosevelt has appointed to prepare a report on the policies that should be followed by the federal government in relation to state education. "It is impossible to predict the recommendations that will be made by this commission, but I hope that the commission will pro- test against some of the present pol- icies and advocate federal financial aids for schools with a minimum of control of state programs.
