No. 136 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1938 PRICE FIVE CENTS ------- --------- Murphy Agreem ent Ends Power Strike With Compromise Four Month Continuance Of Former Settlement Granted By Company Promise Of NLRB Vote In 60 Days DETROIT, April 4.-(IP)-Represen- tatives of the Consumers Power Co.1 and the CIO Utility Workers Organ- izing Committee signed an agreement tonight formally ending the strike which the union began last Friday night. Gov. Frank Murphy led all negotiations The last obstacle in the way of set- tlement of the strike, during which the Utilities Workers Organizing Committee had controlled plants in four large cities after ousting super- iors Friday night, was removed with the evacuation of a briefly rebellious union group at Flint tonight. A four months extension to the UWOC's previous agreement with the company, which expired last Friday, and promise of a National Labor Re- lations' oard elections within 60 days among three rival unions were com- bined in the final settlement. Dispute between the unions over majority memberships in plants serv- ing 2,000,000 customers were a major problem in negotiations. Both the In- ternational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL) and the Independent Power .Workers Association claimma- jority memberships and have cha- lengedthe CIO union's right to a new contract. The pact signed by Dan E. Karn, yice-president and general manager of Consumers Power, and by Albert Stronkus, natiopal director for the UWOC, and other union officials, ex-; tends the present agreement until Aug. 5. It guarantees against dis-.. crMination against 'strikers The only other provision stipulates an employe's wages may be changed should he De promoted or demoted during the remaining life of the agreement. Otherwise, wages shall remain as before. All during the strike consumers received regular service from the' plants, which strikers maintained by themselves with the aid of a load dis- patcher's directions. Student Housng Poll Suggested By Prof. Ratcliff To insure the success of the present housing investigation, one of its -ma- jor lines of activity should be to de- termine definitely how good or bad student rooming conditions actually are in Ann Arbor, according to Prof. Richard U. Ratcliff, of the business administration school, and formerly economist for the Federal Housing Administration. Professor Ratcliff believes that this objective can best be accomplished by a sample poll He suggests that questionnaires be distributed to ap- proximately 1.000 students, possibly 'through the student organization in- terested, with questions on the size of the rooms, the number of windows in the room, tke number of students to each bathroom, the number of stu- dents in each house. Then, he recommends that the sur- vey try to ascertain how rapidly and to what extent single family dwell- ings are converted into rooming houses. He also believes that it should be determined how easily rooming houses, when the demand has fallen off or other external con- ditions make it unprofitable to con- tinue as such, are converted back again into single family dwellings. All these questions, when properly answered should point to a solution of any undesirable factors revealedl in the investigation, Professor Rat- cliff declared. Celeste Strack Talks On Peace Tonigt Celeste Strack, former national, women's 'collegiate debate champion and member of the executive com- mittee of the American Student Pamphleteers Pass Outt Promising Pamphlets According to certain editors, not the Daily's, "there's a rumor in the air" that an unusual book is on the way. This book, they say, will be ready for distribution May 15. That is the message of the pamphlets which lit- tered the campus yesterday, and are apt to go right on doing the same thing for some time yet. Irving S. Matthews, '38, business manager, says the salient factor in the pamphlet is to be found in the line which tells that the price of the book will go up from $4.50 to $5.00 April 8. The book? Oh yes, it's the Michiganensian for 1938. Election Swept }1B epulicans11 In CityVoting. Two Faculty Men Nained To Alderinanic Iosts; Balloting Is Moderate With Republican slates victorious in every ward but one. 2,345 Ann Ar- bor voters went to the polls yesterday and elected two faculty men as alder- men. Prof. Ralph W. Hammett of the School of Architecture, Republican. received 127 votes in the fifth ward contest to win a decisive victory over Edward Bosch. Democratic alder'- manic candidate. One of the most overwhelming mar- gins of the day elected Professor John E. Tracy, of the Law School, Repub- lican.- over Charles A. Conlin in the sixth ward. He polled 308 votes to 33 for his youthful opponent. Parofessor George C. S. Benson of the political science department was' defeated in the sixth ward race for supervisor by Herbert P. Wagner, 209 to 132. Floyd Hamacher, unopposed Republican, polled 266 votes to gain ofrie. Fourth ward voters gave Demo- eratic adherents their only victories of the day when they elected William C. Hudson, Democrat, as alderman over Johnson S. Backus, Republican, by a 225 to 140 majority. Democratic candidate for supervisor Leo B. Coyle polled 209 votes to defeat Republican Lewis C. Rhoades, who had 175 sup- porters. George H, Jewitt, Democrat, was elected constable with 190 votes to Republican George W. Gough's 171 to complete the sweep. Several write- ins for Edward Spencer in this contest were ruled invalid. In the third ward no one ran for constable.

The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. today at the League.1 There has been entirely too muchI rumpus about rooming conditions, Mrs. F. N. Haun, secretary of the1 asociation declared. "As far as we are1 concerned there is no question of high rents, for most of the land- ladies have trouble making both ends meet. We can afford to give no better accommodations at the present rents; and going to such a hearing simply brings publicity where it is best to have none. Students have the op- portunity to move if they are not satisfied." Calls Reports Biased At the same time Mrs. Haun1 charged that the Daily treatment of1 landladies' problems had been biased and unsympathetic and deplored the, spreading of details of rooming ques- tions throughout the State. An attempt is being made to get all interested groups together in an impartial search for the facts, Allan Braun, '40, declared. "The chairman f the Senate Committee on Student Housing's invitation to the Landladies League to represent the viewpoint of the group that has been consistently under fire was given in good faith and it is too bad that the association; cannot see it in that light. "A knowledge of the landladies' problems is of obvious importance in any estimate of housing conditions and their problems will be reviewed despite their refusal to appear." The results of the closed confer- ence with Dean Bursley and Dean Olmstead held yesterday outlining University policy toward rooming houses will be disclosed at the Sen- ate hearing, Braun said. At the same time Dean Marion Lloyd, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, di- rector of the Health Service, Prof. John F. Shepard of the psychology department and Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, student religious director, will be questioned when the se'nate meets as a Committee of the Whole to hear testimony. The cumulative results of a poll covering over 40 campuses through- out the nation will be presented in an attempt to compare housing fa- cilities in Ann Arbor with those at other universities.

Franco Chases In Drive On Chinese Lose Loyalists Catalan; Kiangsu InvadersGain In Chinese, SpanishWars British llouse Split On Foreign Policy Invading forces in the world's two undeclared wars made decisive gains yesterday as the Spanish Insurgents cut off Catalonia from the rest of Government Spain including Valen- cia and Madrid, and Japanese troops threatened the vital Lunghai railway near the strategic city of Suchow. In sight of the Mediterranean on the south and touching the French borders on the north, Insurgent armies began closing the jaws of a giant trap about Catalonia, seat of the Spanish governnent. While the center columns swept past conquered Lerida for a frontal attack on the strongest of Catalan defenses, other corps on a widely extended flank pur- sued Government troops toward the sea and toward the Pyrenees. Northeast of Madrid on the Guada- lajara front the Government reported new successes in a counter-offensive designed to relieve Catalonia by forc- ing Generalissimo Francisco Franco to divert some of his troops to Central Spain. In the Far East, a Japanese ad- vance guard, driving along the Grand Canal from Taierhchwang, reported it had entered Kiangsu Province and was aiming for Yunho, on the Lung- hai line 20 miles to the south. This was the first time the Japanese had penetrated Kiangsu from the north. London The Government in an angry de- bate in the House of Commons to- night rejected the Labor Party's call to submit British foreign policy to the electorate. Prime Minister Ne- ville Chamberlain charged that La- bor's foreign policy was both "futile and dangerous" and would lead "in- evitably to war" The. foreign affairs debate--the 13th in nine weeks --was provoked by a motion of censure in which Labor demanded a general election on the issue of the Government's foreign policy. Paris Premier Leon Blum placed the fate of his Government in the hands of Parliament by proposing a series of financial measures and appealing to all Frenchmen to keep discipline in view of the dangerous international situation. The Chamber of Deputies Finance Committee approved the program by a vote of 25 to 18. Chief among the proposals was a measure which would permit the Government to take 22,- 550,000 francs paper profit by revalu- ation of the Bank of France's gold reserves.

U. S. Comin To Lead In Social Science Field, Morgenstern Says (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of a series of articles analyzing tie fea- tures of city planning in Ann Arbor. The articles present the views of au- thorities on the university faculty.) By BEN MARINO' Accomplishment of certain mea- sures being considered by the State highway department may give Ann Arbor the finest type thoroughfare system to be found anywhere in the United States, Prof. Harlow 0, Whit- temore of the Landscape Design de- partment said yesterday. The lack of streets extending com- pletely through Ann Arbor, has beer decried, Professor Whittemore point- ed out in reference to a statement made by Prof. Roger L.

This road would also pass Whitmore Lake to the east, lie said, and avoid congested Whitmore Village.

Calif..vetprdan ed States, Dr. Oskar Morgenstern, Austrian economist, declared yester- day in a University lecture. Dr. Morgenstern also praised the achievements of the League of Na- tions in building means for progres- sive work in the social sciences and asked that in valuing the work of the League, its contributions in this line be fully considered. The advantages offered by America to the study of the -social sciences, Dr. Morgenstern said, are complete freedom and facilities for objective study of the sciences, including ec- onomics. sociologv. and political sci-! In many countries political influ- ences have arisen, he said, that give distortion to the material and pur- poses of the studies in the social sci- ence fields, while in other cases the scholars have depended too much on metaphsics, mathematical formulae, and "rash conclusions" in setting up theories. Scientists who have had to go back to make new approaches to old problems and theories, he said, have not been able to go forward, in their contributions to their fields. The League is the outstanding or- ganization at present in the develop- ment of scholarly approach in the so- cial sciences, Dr. Morgenstern de- clared. At present it is carrying on a study of fiscal policies in relation to the business cycle, he said, in which ian effort is being made through the Chinese Art Is Subject Of Heine-Geldern Dr. Robert Freiherr von Heine-Gel- dern of the University of Vienna will give an illustrated University lecture at 4:15 p.m. today in the Natural Science Auditorium on "The Pre- Buddhistic Art of China and Indo- China and Its Influence in the Pa- cific."
