London and Paris still refused to believe, however, that Germany would provoke a wfar which was virtually -certain to range Britain, France and Russia against her. They felt she would take any chance of gaining her ends in Czechoslovakia by peaceful intimidation. Ultimatum Violent In a tone as violent as the ultima- tum to Austria which preceded Ger- man annexation of that country, Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering's newspaper thundered a "last, urgent appeal" to Czechoslovakia, where two Nazis were killed yesterday. The Field Marshal's newspaper, The Essen National Zeitung, appeared to have forgotten German assurances that Czechoslovakia would not suf- fer Austria's fate. Poland, in turn, demanded ex- planation of reports that Czechs were massing troops near the Polish bor- der. Hitherto on the fence, Poland took action apparently paralleling Ger- many's despite recent urgent French and British efforts to rally Warsaw behind London and Paris. The Soviet Union was ominously si- lent. Frane Watohes .London France, committed to fighting for Czechoslovakia In case of unproved aggression against her, looked to Lon- don for suppot. In Whitehall, wearied Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Secretary, keptin touch with Europe's capitals into the early morning hours. 'Czech- oslovakia thrust reserve troops be- hind barbed wire barricades today as the slaying of two Nazis brought her quarrel with her German minority to- ward a climax dangerous to Europe's peace. Statesmen feared Germany's Adolf Hitler, who has proclaimed himself protector of Germans even outside the borders of his nation, might be plan- ning another of his lightning week- end coups. For the second day in succession, Britain's Ambassador in Berlin, Sir Neville Henderson, demanded reas- surances concerning reported heavy German troop movements toward the Czechoslovak border.

Hess, a 48-year-old attorney backed by organized labor and two New Deal leaders, won a spectacular Democratic primary contest today from Gov. Charles H. Martin, fiery foe of what he called "labor terror- ists." The governor, who retired from the army a decade ago as a major general\ went down to defeat in his bid for re- nomination after as hot a battle as this state eveosaw. When he saw Hess' lead grow to 3,890 votes with only 332 small pre- cincts missing, Martin conceded de- feat. Thus ended a campaign which, through Martin's vigorous entry into the Northwest's labor troubles and his resulting barrage upon certain Roose- velt functions and functionaries, drew a number one billing on the nation's' political stage. The vote on which Martin s,1r- rendered was 49,046 votes for Hess to 45,156 for himself in 1,349 of the state's 1,681 precincts. 1 33 Nominees For Campus Posts Chosen Candidates To Be Elected To Men's Council, Union And Boards In Control Election Is Tuesday From 3 To 5 P.M.

Mexican State- In Civil War; Crush Rebels Government Says Papers Prove Cedillo Leagued With Foreign Interests Attempted Cardenas BombingIs Failure SAN LUIS POTOSI, Mexico., May 21.-{P)-Federal troops smashed a rebel band today in an outbreak of warfare with followers of "strong man" General Saturnino Cedillo. A detachment of 200 cavalrymen drove the rebel group out of the town of Rio Verde in a night engagement. Twenty-two rebels were reported killed, 15 wounded, and 80 captured. One Federal captain and two privates were killed. In Mexico City a high government official said the government had in its possession documents indicating Ce- dillo had sought the aid of the ex- propriated foreign oil industry in carrying out his revolution against; Cardenas. Official Attacks Cedillo This official, said the documents showed further that Cedillo, Rightist dictator of San Luis State, had prom- ised the oil companies the return of their properties in return, for their aid. A high-flying white airplane, re- sembling those known to be in the possession of Rebel Leader Cedillo, dropped four bombs less than 100 yards from the temporary San Luis residence of President Lazaro Car- denas, commander of the Federal troops. The attacking plane dropped man- ifestos signed by Gov. Hernandez Netro, of San Luis Potosi State, and four San Luis state legislators. It de- clared they no longer recognized the Cardenas government.' Planes Drop Propaganda The clash at Rio Verde 60 miles east and south of here, followed occupation of the town by Rebel sol- diers. Government planes, which yesterday flew over the hills to south and west with bales of propaganda, took off from San Luis with bombs in their bomb racks and machine guns loaded. President Cardenas, determined that Cedillo shall surrender his arms and his peasant army to the gov- ernment so that the nation's social- istic program may go on without dan- der of internal revolt, moved quickly to crush the Rebel movement.

Smith pitched fine ball through- out, allowing but six hits, but a pair of errors led to his downfall. Burt gave up only one bingle up to the seventh inning, but the Irish managed to break into the scoring column in the fourth on two passes and a bad throw by Don Brewer. Notre Dame tied up the game in the eighth when Nardone opened with a single, took second on Smith's bad throw, advanced to third on Jim Cor- coran's sacrifice and counted on Chuck Borowski's long fly to Kremer. The winning run in the tenth was scored in a similar manner. Nar- done opened with a mighty double down the left field foul line, Corcoran sacrificed him to third, and he scored once more on Borowski's fly to Kre- mer. Michigan was able to gather eight hits off Hunthausen but the Irish right-hander kept them well scat- teied. The Wolverines counted in the third on singles by Charley Pink, Walt Peckinpaugh and an error by Shortstop Braddock. Capt. Butch Kremer's tremendous three-base -clout -in the fifth -scored Peckinpaugh with the second Michi- gan run, but Butch was out trying' for home to end a promising rally. The Wolverines threatened again in their half of the ninth. With one man out, Smith reached first on Braddock's bobble. After Pink flew out Brewer walked and Peckinpaugh lined a single to center but Smith who attempted to score from second was thrown out at the plate by a fine throw on the part of center fielder Borowski. Peckinpaugh, Pink, and Beebe, (Continued on Page 3) Glover Retires After 41 Years Hold Testimonial Dinner For Noted Mathematician Prof. James W.

Cedillo Thursday night declared that he was ready to "repel all ag- gression" and said the Mexican peo- ple were "tired of the infamous dic- tatorship, with communistic trim- mings, that is putting an end to all sources of wealth and submerging the country in ruin and misery." Senate Curtails U.S. Utilities In Lending Bill' PWA May Not Use Funds,: For Utilities Competing Against Private Firms WASHINGTON, May 21.-(W)- Private utilities won a major conces- sion today when the Senate Appro- priations Committee wrote into the administration's lending-spending bill a drastic restriction on government- financed .construction of public utility systems. The committee recommended the bill to the Senate after increasing House-approved appropriations by $298,000,000. The group effected re- ductions in some authorizationsfor spending, however. The total now included in the measure for both lending and spending is $3,247,000,000, compared with $3,154,000,000 voted by the House. The utilityrestriction, recommend- ed by an appropriations subcommit- tee, was adopted by a narrow margin on a show of hands in the commit- tee. Under the limitation, PWA funds could not be used to build utility sys- tems which would compete with pri- vately-owned plants if the latter were Ross Faulkner, junior quarter- miler whose story has been one of injuries and misfortune, provided the feature upset of the Big Ten track meet at Columbus yesterday' when he outdistanced all but one of a field of "name" runners to cap-' ture an unexpected second in the 440. Training Table G { t e' e Gets Big Tens1 Tentative O.K. Aigler Refuses Comment; Michigan Given 1939 Outdoor Track Meet COLUMBUS, 0., May 21.-(Spe- cial to the Daily) -The possible re- turn of the football training table, a slight revision of eligibility rules, and the award of the 1939 outdoor track meet to Michigan featured the meet- ing of the Western Conference fac- ulty representatives here today. The proposed training table would provide for one meal a day after practice sessions. It will go into efect unless a member institution protests within 60 days. Professor William Marshall of Pur- due, secretary of the body stated that 'the plan was unlikely to begin work- ing this fall Prof. Ralph Aigler, Michigan's rep- resentative declined to comment until he had presented\ the plan to the Board in Control of Athletics. He in- dicated that he- expected protests to be forthcoming. Fielding , H. Yost, Michigan's athletic director, also re- fused to comment. The revised eligibility rules provides that inter-freshmen competition will not count as a year of participation in the future. This, automatically makes John Rabb, star Ohio State fullback eligible for 1938. The award of the track meet was expected. Ann Arbor has been the only location which has consistently Irawn good crowds. Wolverines Corner 61 /2 Wisconsin's 37 2nd; BuckeyesFinish 3rd Watson Betters Own Record In Shot Put By BUD BENJAMIN COLUMBUS, May 21.-(Special to the Daily)-Michigan's mighty track dynasty, ruler of the Western Confer- ence 15 times since the turn of the century, swept to another Big Ten title here today. Led by the incomparable Big Bill Watson, who scored a "triple" by re- taining his shot put, discus, and broad jump titles and added a third in the high jump just for good meas- ure, the Wolverines amassedi 61% points to far outdistance the field. Only twice in conference history has this total been bettered. The rest of the teams trailed in the following order: Wisconsin 37, Ohio State 311/2, Indiana 27, Iowa 21, Illi- nois 18, Chicago and Purdue 11, Min- nesota 6, and Northwvestern 1. Records were smashed in three events as a disappointing crowd of 3,500 sat through intermittent rains to watch the 38th ;unning of the classic. Watson broke his owni shot put mark in the qualifying round yes- terday with a heave of 52 feet 111/ inches and tried only once to better it today. He failed by over a foot. The two record crackers today were Wisconsin's Walter Mehl, who broke Don Lash's Western Conference and Collegiate two mile marks by tour- ing the distance in 9 minutes 10.4 seconds, and Dave Albritton, the great Negro high jumper 'of Ohio State, who 'cleared the bar at 6 feet 7% inches to top the old standard of an ex-teammate, Mel Walker, who jumped 6 feet 6% inches at Ann Arbor last year. The Wolverine powerhouse, as ex- pected, rode to victory onits strength, in the six field events where it ran; up 35%/2 points. It added 26 more on the track. Besides Saginaw ,Bill's three firsts and a third, the Hoytmen grabbed a tie for first in the pole vault, a sec- ond in the high jump, a fourth in the shot, a third in the discus, and a second in the javelin. In the track events, they sdored with a surprise second by Ross Faulk- ner in the 440, a first and fourth in the high hurdles, a second and fourth in the lows, a third in the half by game little Tommie Jester, a second and fifth in the two mile, and a fifth in the mile relay. They failed to place in only three events. But when the smoke had cleared and the Wolverines had definitely in- stituted themselves as repeat cha- pions, it was the superb performance. of Watson that remained as an in- delible memory. Bill didn't even have to don a suit today. His marks were unapproach- able. In the shot, his nearest com- petitor, Dean Frary of Illinois, rested at 48 feet 10 inches, more than four feet behind him. In the discus, he uncorked a heave of 154 feet 84 inches today, but the effort was su- perfluous. His qualifying mark of 152 feet 4 % inches was good enough to beat Frary who finished second at 145 feet 4 inches, two and a half inches ahead of Michigan's John Townsend. He didn't even bother to broad jump, his 24 feet 11 Inches of yes- terday being ample to oust Bob Hub- baro of Minnesota who failed to ex- ceed the 24 feet 31/ inches he ne- gotiated in the qualifying round. Bill, not content to let matters ride at 15 points, still had an ace up (Continued on Irage 3) Japs Drive On c, Tonio Selwart Gave Up Career As Doctor For Theatre Footlights Regents To Consider Proposal For Course In Negro Culture By ANN VICARY "It is less dangerous to be a pretty good actor than it is to be a pretty good doctor, no?" says Tonio Sel- wart. "A family tradition of medi- cine extending two generations back couldn't stop me once I made up my mind about the theatre," he continues with a disarming smile. Selwart will appear as the star of "Liliom," which opens the second week of the 1938 Dramatic Season Tuesday evening at the Mendelssohn theatre.

A rul- ing of Actors' Equity which forces alien actors to wait six months after one show before opening in another, By WILLIAM NEWTONt There is a long-felt need for a University course in Negro history and culture which would promote better' inter-racial understanding on the campus, in the opinion of Robert L. Gill, Grad., whose resolution provid- ing for such a course was passed unanimously by the Student Senate last Tuesday. The resolution is to be sent to the Board of Regents for consideration. Lack of understanding and appre- ciation of the Negro's position in American history and of his contri- ed to cover more than history alone. History would be outlined, followed by a discussion of the Negro's social and economic status. . Next, the course should touch upon the anthropologi- cal aspects of the Negro race, he said, and end with a more complete study of the important part the race has played in the development of culture. Gill is of the opinion that there is a wealth of material in this field, and that it is desirable that several more- specialized courses should be offered in addition to the basic, generalized one.
