Bridges Hurls Epithets
Of 'Der Fueirer' At
Supervisor Lilienthal
Roosevelt Sumnmons
Board For Hearing,
WASHINGTON, Mach .-P)
Senator Bridges (Rep., N.H.) appeal-
ing for a congressional investigation
of TVA, asserted today that an "au-
thoritarian state' had come into be-
ing in Tennessee with David Lilien-
thal, director of TVA, as its "Der
Fuehrer."
Fred Moses, TVA field manager, he
denounced as a "Brown-Shirt Moses"
and a "Hitler in Short Pants." He
should be called to account before a
Senate committee for utterances at-
tributed to him, the Senator said.
In a spirited exchange with Demo-
cratic members, he shouted that Dr.
A. E. Morgan, chairman of TVA, now
engaged in a dispute with Lilienthal
and Harcourt Morgan, the vice chair-
man, was "being liquidated."
Meanwhile ,the three principals in
the dispute which has disrupted
the internal functioning of the au-
thority, and produced a volume of
charges of bad faith and conspiracy,
prepared to lay their cases before
President Roosevelt.
The president announced yester-
day that he had summoned them to a
conference at which he expected them
to justify their accusations, if they
could, with the emphasis upon facts
and not opinions.
Bridges' lengthy address, constant-
ly interrupted by Democratic objec-
tions, was aimed primarily at obtain-
ingsa congressional investigation
rather than an inquiry by the Federal
Trade Commission, as proposed by
Senator Norris (Ve., Neb.)
But its principal result was to dem-
onstrate conclusively that the Norris
method of investigating the agency
has powerful support.

P.R. Election System Is
Used For First Time h in
Campus Vote TomorrowI
Pre-election campaigning for the'
32 seats in the Student Senate
reached its peak on campus yester-
day, as placards, handbills and post-
ers were distributed by many of the
parties and candidates. The campus-
wide P.R. election will be held all day
tomorrow.
For the first time in many years,
students will be able to vote for a
representative general body, and for
the first time in the history of the
University will proportional represen-
tation be used for such a purpose.
For the platformts of 47 of the
64 candidates, see page 6, for an
editorial on the Student Senate,
see page 4. other candidates na
submit their platforms until
12:30 pm, today.
Since the body will consist of rep-
resentatives of student opinion in. the
same proportion as that opinion is
current on canmpus, the Senate is ex-
pected to closely approximate the
trend in student thought on national
and international affairs.
Already, three parties, sponsoring
altogether more, than half the can-i{
diadtes, have been formed. The Young
Communist League is backing onej
student, one is running for the Inter-
national Typographical Union, one as
a "Pre-Medic," many as some form
of liberal and others as conservatives.#
Joseph S. Mattes, '38, announced1
his intention late yesterday of with-
drawing from the election. Althoughj
Mattes' name will officially appear,
Robert L. Gill, Grad., running as an
independent, has been endorsed by
the United Liberal Coalition as an al-
ternative candidate.

Open Hearts
To Reporters
More than 25 "stage struck" girls
gave way to their ambitions last night
in the opening performance of "Stage
Door," Play Production's latest ve-
hicle, which played to a first night
audience of 500.
Short interviews with numerous
women in the cast revealed that some-
where in their hearts, whether openly
acknowledged or secretly withheld
lay a desire to imitate the lives of
the characters of Jean Maitland, Ter-
ry Randall and others who appear*
in the play.
Miriam Brous, '38, stated that she
was willing "to take a chance" on
Broadway and intends to do so when
she leaves the University. Since her
home is in New York City she said
she would live there while working
but that she would be willing to re-
side in a "Footlights Club," if she were
from out of town.
Evelyn Smith, '38, who is playing
the tragic role of Kaye Hamilton
stated that her preference lies in
comedy roles, but that she has en-
joyed playing this role of a "lovable"
character. To her, a future on the
stage offers too little security and
believes that she will do her future
work with children of primary school
age.
Betty Howard, '40, who appears as
Bernice, has no particular preference
in the type of roles she plays, but
usually appears in"straight" parts,
she stated. Her hopes are directed
along the line of the Little Theatre
movement and she stated that radio
has a definite fascination for her.
Nancy Shaefer, '39, has been en-
thusiastically working towards a ca-
reer on the stage since graduation
from high school. She played with a

Unity Seen As

lecksher Views Ancient1
Policy As Bulwark O
Old MedievalSociety
"The aims of the early mercantil-
ists were to establish political, so-
cial and economic unity in a me-
dieval society which was disintegrat-
ing," declared Prof. Eli F. Heckscher,
president of the Economic Institute
of Sweden, in a University lecture
yesterday in Haven Hall auditorium.
Professor Heckscher will deliver
his second talk on mercantilism to-
day at 4:15 p.m. in Room C, Haven
Hall. He will attempt to show the
relationship between mercantilism
and present-day economic policies.
"These were aims, the greater part
of which were not attained by the
mercantilists themselves, but by their
'laissez-faire' successors," the noted
economist said.
The most important change from
medieval society to a mercantilist
society was the change from a natural
to a money economy, Heckscher stat-
ed.
Since the mnrcantilist state be-
lieved that the fund of the world's
natural resources was limited, and
"static," the only way for it to en-
large its resources was to take some
from other nations, it was said,

Murphy Acts To Save
Fugitive From Justice
LANSING, March 9.-()-Gover-
nor Murphy today heeded the pleas
of Buchanan residents that he assist
in preventing the return to North
Carolina of Koler Holsclaw, who was
arrested recently on a drunk driving
charge and discovered to have been a1
fugitive from justice for the 12 years
he lived in this state.
Murphy told Holsclaw's attorneys,
B, R. Deseberg and Philip Landsman,
that he would write to Governor
Frank R. Hoey, of North Carolina,
and inform him that Holslaw, alias1
Frank Bentley, had been an "exem-
plary" citizen since coming to Mich-
igan.
Holsclaw was discovered through
fingerprints sent in routine fashion
to the Federal Bureau of Identifica-
tion to have escaped from a prison
camp 12 years ago where he was serv-
ing a 30-year term for murder.
House Revolt

Tax Provision
Elimination Of Surtax On

+ WASHINGTON, March 9.-(M-A
iHouse revolt against the Administra-
tion slashed from the tax bill today
its most widely criticized provision-)
a surtax on family-owned and close-
ly-held corporations.
These were the immediate results:
The House sidetracked the revenue
bill at least until tomorrow and per-
haps for several days.
Chairman Doughton (Dem., N.C.)
of the Ways and Means Committee,
rushed away to notify President
Roosevelt of the 180 to 124 vote by1
which the House knocked out the sur-
tax and to discuss its implications.
Democratic committee members
met in an emergency session to try
to figure out some way of making up
the estimated $30,000,000 to $45,000,-
000 in revenue which the so-called
"IB" tax on closelyh-eld firms would
have yielded.
. Republicans suggested the bill had
been laid aside sto give Administra-
tion forces an opoprtunty to whip
balky Democrats into line and try
to reinstate the "1B" levy on a roll
call vote.
But Doughton said that while he,
probably would have to demand such
a vote, he had little hope that the tax
would be restored.
France Meets
Italian Demand
Acknowledges Concessions
RegardingSpain Policy
LONDON, March 9.-(')-Great
Britain's efforts toward Euopeai
appeasement were bolstered today by
a concession from France to meet
Italian demands on non-interven-
tion in Spain.
The government informed Italy
amdiGermany of the concession and
awaited their replies in the hope
the nonintervention deadlock might
be broken, removing this obstacle
from the path of Anglo-German and
Anglo-Italian agreements.
This development came as Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain in-
vited German Foreign Minister
(Joachim Von Ribbenstrop to talk
with him across a luncheon table
Friday.
Von Ribbentrop, former ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, arrived here
this afternoon ostensibly to take leave
of that post. He already had ar-
ranged to talk with Ciscount Halifax,
Foreign Secretary, tomorrow.
Chamberlain told the cabinet he
and Lord Halifax would try to deter-
mine in the conversations with Von
Ribbentrop whether now is the best
time for negotiations with Germany.
Opposition To Emergency
Finance Power Brings
Downfall Of Coalition
Blum May Form
New G overnment
PARIS, March 9.-(/P)-The "mid-
dle-ground" government of Premier
Camille Chautemps tonightdecided to
resign Thursday because of left-wing
opposition to granting the Premier
decree powers over troubled French
finances.
The Radical-Socialist premier said
he would address the nation tomorrow
morning from the Chamber of Dep-
uties rostrum and then tender his
resignation to President Albert Le-
brun.
Political observers expected the
President to offer the premiership im-
mediately to Leon Blum, head of the
first People's Front Government,
whose Socialist Party holds the larg-
est single bloc of chamber seats.
The resignation decision came dur-
ing a three-and-a-half hour cabinet
session after socialist and communist
members of the premier's chamber
majority created a tense situation by
refusing to grant him wide powers
he requested to deal with acute fi-
nancial and economic problems.
France's rapidly increasing arm-
ament needs were blamed for the
financial crisis.
Socialists and communists said they
were unable to back Chautemps' re-
quest because his plans called for
postponement of costly social reforms
to which they are pleIged.
The cabinet, composed largely of
Chautemps' own Radical Socialist
Party members, was constituted Jan.
18 succeeding the second People's
Front Government which Chautemps
also headed. It will have lasted 51
days, the 103rd government since for-
mation of the Third Republic.
Its fall came over the same issue,
financial decree powers, which forced
out Blum, in June 1937.
The immediate problem which
brought the situation to a head was
the proected floating of a 10,000,000,-
000 franc ($320,000,000) defense loan
next Monday.

exact form but the results will not

really intends this time to pronounce
the death sentence on a parliament
whose end was ordered four years
sago.
Its ultimate end, however, has been
taken for granted ever since Mus-
solini established his regime. He has
never liked the chamber althoughit
has been a mere rubber stamp to ap-
prove his decrees in recent years.

Remer Sees Rearmament
As Large Factor In
Trade Restrictions
By ALBERT MAYIO
War-oriented policies in a time of
peace have the effect on a nation f
building up a pressure for the con-
tinuance of these policies and an at-
titude of mind conducive to war, Prof.
Charles F. Remer of the economics
department said yesterday in an ii-
terview.
Recovery from the last depression
was primarily recovery within coun-
tries, as the statistics show, Professor
Remner said, production rising to a
marked degree, with trade remaining
either stationary or rising but little
in proportion to the increase in pro=
duction.
This discrepancy between trade and
production was caused by three fac-
tors, Professor Remer said: (1) trade
restrictions aimed directly at imports;
