No. 155 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRDAY, MAY 6, 1938 PRICE FIVE CENTS _ _~ N , e F.D.'s Prestige At Stake Again In Move For" Wag Bill Vote Pepper Victory In Florida Has Aided Bill, F.D.R. Supporters Declare New, Deal Expects Struggle In House WASHINGTON, May 5.--(P)-Pres- ident Roosevelt's leadership, recently backed by a majority of Florida's Democratic priniary voters, is again at stake in the effort beginning for- orally in the H1=ouse tomorrows to force a vote on the revised Wage-Hour Bill. Although it is not the only factor involved, the overwhelming victory of Administration-supported Senator Pepper in the Florida contest has had a distinct influence, observers and Ad- ministration aides believe, in rallying support in the House for wage-hour action at this session. There has *been a tendency among hesitating Democrats to read into it evidence of Roosevelt strength with the mass of party voters.' Wage-Hour Bill leaders in the Iouse have canvassed the member- ship and report pledges of more than the necessary 218 signatures on a petition to wrest the bill from the hostile Rules Committee and send it to the House floor. That petition will become available for signing to- morrow. If there is anything like the rush to sign which the leaders foresee that rush may have its own effect on still hesitating members. If the peti- tion were completed at once it would assure a House vote later in the month. - There is little doubt that the size of Senator Pepper's majority in the Florida Senatorial Primary impressed House Democrats. Even many who anticipated his 'ultimate nomination in a run-off with ,either of his lead- ing opponents had not expected a two-to-one turnout for him. It is ob- vious that his sweep'and his straight- out .campaign to make 'President Roosevelt and his policies the issue provided the final stimulus for bring- ing the wage-hour contest in the- House to a quick conclusion.

Baker of the Pa- icific Coast Diocese will speak at 6 p.m. today to a dinner given by the Wesleyan Guild in honor of the Methodist seniors m the First Meth- odist Church. He will discuss the religious opportunitiesdof a university graduate in our decade. Bishop Baker, who for many years was a minister at the University of Illinois, collaborated with Episcopa lian Bishop Edward L. Parsons a few years ago in upholding the right of students to refuse to take compulsory military training in a state university. The local court, which denied this right, was later upheld by the Su- preme Court of the United States, Out of this trial grew the student drive to make military training op- tional in all institutions of higher learning. Nearly 100 complimentary tickets to the talk are available to the Metho- dist constituency at the office of Dr. E. W. Blakeman, religious coun- cilor. Governor Murphy I Calls University World's Greatest BATTLE CREEK, May 5-(Special to The Daily)-In standards, equip- ment and personnel the University of Michigan is "the greatest educa- tional institution on this earth," Gov. Frank Murphy declared here to- day at the 21st annual convention of the Michigan Congress of Parents and Teachers. In discussing the aim of the State government to provide adequate sup- port for the various state-operated colleges and what he termed "our matchless University," Governor Murphy said: "I make that statement about the University's superiority in all sincer- ity, and base it on my studies in this country, in England, in Ireland, in Japan, China and the Philippines." Earlier in the speech, Governor Murphy said "The interests of the school of Michigan will never suffer as long as I am governor," but he as- serted that "while education is high- ly important, first the hungry must be fed." Regents Appomt Sta son Provost; To Ai Ruthven Law Professor Not To Be Inter mediary Between Colleges And President Appointment of Prof. E. Blythe Sta- son of the Law School to the new position of Provost of the University was announced yesterday by the Uni- versity Record, official faculty bulle- tin. 'Final action for the creation df the position and the appointment of Professor Stason was taken by the Board of Regents at its regular meet-. ing last Friday. In establishing the office, the Board stipulated that the "Provost shall aid the President by performing such of the President's functions as shall from time to time be delegated by him or by the Board of Regents." In definingmit f Ahitioris of the Provost, they 'egents aod d the practice used in some insitutions of creating an intermediate gency be- tween the schools, college and facul- ties and the chief executive. The creation of the new post will expedite the work of the President's off'ice without decreasing the oppor- tunitie for conferences between the President and other staff members, it is expected. The University is not the first to have been forced by post-war ex- pansion to provide for division of labor in the office of the President. Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, the University of California and the Uni- versity of Chicago have been forced to take similar methods. For several years, Professor Stason has been in close touch with certain tasks of the President's office par- ticularly those related to state fi- nance, state legislation, by-laws of the Board of Regents and other legal and semi-legal affairs. French Version Of GorkiPlay To Re SI.own The French film version of Maxim Gorki's "Lower Depths" will be shown at 8:15 p.m. today and tomorrow at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre by the Art Cinema League. Gorki's drama was characterized as "an ex- cellent example of the type of natur- alism peculiar to the Russians" by Prof. Joe Lee Davis of the English department. "The stark realism of Gorkis de- pressing story of a flophouse inhabit- ed by the outcasts of society is tem- pered by the emphasis on the spiritual aspirations of a major character," Professor Davis said in an interview yesterday. Loukas in "Lower Depths," is the pilgrim whose vision of the future is beyond the grasp of the degraded characters in the flophouse, Profes- sor Davis said, pointing out that this emphasis on the idealistic in Russian naturalism is also illustrated in the character of Trofimo in Chekov's "Cherry Orchard."

For Extra Sensory Perception A huge parade, starting at 3:30 p.m. today on East Huron Street and stretching for more than six blocks, will wind around the campus to herald the opening of the 1938 Michigras. The profits from the Michigras, gigantic carnival held in Yost Field House, will go to aid the Women's Athletic Association's proposed swim- ming pool and the Varsity Band's trip to New Haven, Conn., for the Yale football game this fall. Hugh Rader, '38, is chairman and Samuel Charin, '38, is assistant chairman. Included in the parade will be four bands, 75 horses, numerous floats and several hundred bicycles. Three cups will be given for the most clever floats' and ,several awards will be' made for the best decorated bicycle. Miss Ethel McCormick, social direc- tor of the League, Stanley Waltz, manager of the Union, and Mayor W. C. Sadler will judge the floats. Among the rides this year, accord- ing to Rader, will be a double ferns wheel, -a jmerry-go-round, a .tilt-a- whirl and a loop-o-plane. Members of the Michigras central committee report that once inside Yost Field House today, everyone will be able to do anything from betting on a rat race to getting his picture taken as the character he has always wished to assume. The booth committee, headed by Richard Fox, '39, ap Betty Lyons, '39, have announce that 60 campus organizations will sponsor booths at the affair today and tomorrow.,Fra- ternities are sponsoring most of the booths, with sororities second. Imide- pendent groups are in charge of sev- eral sideshows this year also, as are several dormitories.

B. Rhine, of Duke University, ex- plain research that strikes at the basic scientific Incepts of the hu- man mind. Evidence that is beyond the ability, of mathematics to shake indicates that the mind can receive impres- sions from sources other than the senses Professor Rhine asserted to an audience that fired questions at. Progressives Alter Functions Local Club Reorganized To Fulfill Needs Here A reorganization of the Progressive Club to fulfill the needs of the cam- pus as noted at this year's Spring Parley and along lines suggested by Mentor Williams of the English de- partment was effected at a "post- Parley" meeting of the Club held last night at Lane Hall. Feeling that the Progressive Club has been devoting too much of its time to broad national and interna- tional questions, the membership ap- proved a plan whereby existing per- manent committees of the Club would be abolished and temporary commit- tees to work on immediate campus problems be set up in their place. The peace, social and publicity com- mittees are to be retained as part of the permanent structure of the or- ganization. Following reports by members pres- ent at the five panels of the Parley it was decided to set up temporary committees to work with the Student Senate on housing, cleaning prices,. expansion of cooperatives and stu- dent working conditions. These com- mittees will be chosen at a meeting of the executive board of the club to be held Tuesday.

About one in five subjects has been+ capable of extra-sensory impressions, Professor Rhine said, where the1 standard raises odds of 150 to 1 that such perception is the result of chance. Speaking in an effort to substan- tiate his work against charges of charlatanism,. Professor Rhine as- cribed the reaction to the unwilling- ness of men, grounded in rationalism, to believe phenomena beyond the ex- planation of natural law. He pointed out that the estab- lished conviction that impressions en- ter the mind only through the sense is an untested assumption which al- so needs rational backing. Explaining the technique by which the Duke University experiements were conducted, Professor Rhine de- clared that the results pointed to some individuals having the power to (Continued op Page 2) B usiness Men Confer Today Discussions Will Be Held On Credit, Accounting A two-day conference, bringing 200 alumni of the business administra- tion school from all parts of the country, will open at 3:30 p.m. today in the Union with round-table dis- cussions on bank credit, marketing and accounting.

Reifin, ITU representative, who told the Daily by phone "the fight is still on." Recognition of the ITU as collec- tive bargaining agent for' the em- ployees in the Pfss composing room and the question of disbanding the independent union at the local plant were discussed at the conference, the Associated Press reported in a special dispatch to the Daily. A. J. Wiltse, Press manager and partner; George Meader and Edward Fasquelle, company attorneys; Reifin, Louis Falstreaui, local strike chair- man and three members of Local No. 154 attended the unfruitful confer- ence. The ITU local, in its charge of un- fair labor practices against the Ann Arbor Press, called the Independent Association of Ann Arbor Press Em- ployes, Inc. a "company-dominated union." NLRB Attorney George Bott of the Detroit office did not attend the con- ference, but said he expected that the results of the conference would be presented to Trial Examiner Frank Bloom at 10 a.m. today when the hearings are resumed. The ITU has been conducting a strike in the composing room of the Press since Feb. 18 and has appealed to the labor board for certification as representing a majority of workers in the composing room.
