L. Mac- kenzie King told the House of Com- mons today that Canada is not com- mitted either to go to wor or even to remain neutral where Great Britiaim is involved. Makingda long-awaited statemen of Cahada's foreign policy, the Prime Minister described the internationa outlook as "darns, but not one tha calls for despair." 1. As an independent nation, Can ada is not likely to attack or be at- tacked. 2. As a member of the League o Nations Canada will not be drawn into war through application o League penalties because the san tions articles of the League covenan "have ceased to have effect." 3. As a member of the Britis Commonwealth of Nations. Canad has no commitments either to engag in war or remain neutral. If a sit uation arises where warlike action i proposed, it will be a matter for th Canadian parliament to decide. Canada is not bound by the de cisions of the United Kingdom on foreign policy, the Prime Ministe said. "Incidentally," he added, "may say the time has come to cease speak ing of the 'dominions' as if they wer some peculiar half-fledged type c community, and all alike in their in terests and views. "Such a usage leads to confusion at best and to alibis and misrepresen tations at worst.

Frankensteen, demoted recently from assistant president of the United Automobile Workers Union to vice- president of the organization, was re- moved today as director of the union's committee formed to push organiza- tion of Ford Motor Co. employes. Announcement of Frankensteen's removal was made by Homer Martin, international president of the U.A.W. with whom Frankensteen has dis- agreed over union policy. Martin said the Union's five vice- presidents would be given more, re- sponsibility than before and denied that Frankensteen's removal was a "demotion." He said the move was made so that the vice-presidents "will now be free to cooperate more fully in general problems of the interna- tional and matters of policy rather than being confined to one particular job." Martin said the Ford organizational drive would continue under a Ford council elected from Ford locals throughout the country. He said the Ford campaign in Detroit would be under the joint leadership of the five regional directors for Detroit.

Act Before Senate SeeksI An Ultimate 40 Ceni Low, 40 Hour Limit Northern Coalition Forces House Vote WASHINGTON, May 24.-()-An overpowering coalition, consistingr largely of northern Democrats ando Republicans, pushed the wage-hourj bill through the House of Representa-f tives tonight, by, a vote of 314 to 97. t Many Southern Democrats fought to the last, but without success, ton force adoption of amendments givingn the South lower wage minima than the North.. The measure, as it passed, appliesb the same standards in allssections of interstate industry, with few excep- tions. It calls for a minimum wage starting at 25 cents an hour the first year, and increasing five cents eachh ,year until it attains 40 cents. It pro-b vides for maximum weekly hourst dropping from 44 the first year tol 40 after the second. Few Amendments Pass Few amendments penetrated the defense thrown about the bill by itse supporters. In the late hours of thet debate, however, amendments wereI approved exempting the fishing in- dustry, newspapers of less than 3,000 circulation and child movie actors from the application of the measure. The last amendment, dubbed the "Shirley Temple clause," was pro- posed by Representative Kramert (Dem Calif.). Earlier a committee amendment; exempting the businesses of process- ing perishable farm and sea food products was accepted, together with an amendment by Representativet Biermann (Dem., Ia.) exempting those engaged in the packing, can- ning, etc. of farm commodities, if employed in the area of production. Fight Not Over The vote tonight did not end the wage-hour fight, by any means. The measure must now go to the Senate, which passed a much different labor standards bill last year. Parliamen- tarians said that southern Senators opposed to the legislation were in a position to fight it with everything up to and including a filibuster. Although frankly worried about this opposition, which could conceiv- ably delay adjournment of Congress for many weeks, administration lead- ers were elated at their smashing vic- tory in the House. Auto Fumes Kill Senor" Student Jackson's Death A Suicide Coroner Dedar'es Richard R. Jackson, '38. of Gaylord. was found dead of carbon monoxide fumes at 7 a.m. yesterday in the closed garage attached to his rooming house, 1613 Morton St. Dr. Edwin C. Ganz- horn, coroner, pronounced the death a suicide. Friends of Jackson, who would have been graduated from the literary co- lege in June and entered the medical school in the fall, were unable to ex- plain why lie should have taken his own life. Members of Phi Beta Pi, medical fraternity to which he was pledged, said he had appeared in good spirits lately and was a good student. He worked at his N.Y.A. job yesterday and signified his intention of coming back the next day. Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of the health service, said that no motive could be found after checking Jack- son's health record which was good. Toward Plea' On Czech Crisis c t France, England Advance C Invitations To Stave Off F War In Czechoslovakiaa Sudeten Germans J Remain ResoluteS The State Department yesterday received with distinct coolness newsI of a French and British plea forC joint diplomatic aid to prevent war= from ever increasing German-Czecht tension, the Associated Press reported.r A French Foreign Ministry spokes-n man said Georges Bonnet, foreign minister and former Ambassador to Washington, had asked the United States to join France and Britain in bringing pressure on Germany to re- frain 'from any move against her mid- European neighbor. Denies Request An American Embassy spokesman, however, insisted no such request had been received and there was no ques- tion of joint action including the United States. Diplomatic quarters believed the need of American support was dimin- ished now that the Czechoslovak gov- ernment at least had started nego- tiations with their Germanic minor- ity, source of the war tension, but that France might renew her re-N quest if a new crisis arose.t Request Made Twice The French Foreign Minstry as-£ serted its request had been made1 twice through United States Ambas- sador William C. Bullitt in Paris and1 through the French Ambassador int Washington, Rene Doynel de St. Quentin. A chilly atmosphere prevailed at< the State Department tonight when it became known that France andI Britain wanted American help in pre- venting war as a result of German-I Czech tension.

The drive to dislodge the Insur- gents from their foothold in the mountains just south of the French frontier was described as the heaviest and most sustained by a government army since the campaign in which Teruel was captured Dec. 22 and held for two months. Government aviation has been playing an important part in the of- fensive, now in its third day, which is aimed against Insurgent bridge- heads on the west side of the Noguera Pallaresa River, a tributary of the River Serge. Some of the sharpest fighting in the Civil War has developed all along the 60-mile front from Lerida north to Sort. Government dispatches said attack- ing troops drove a spearhead between Sort and Llavorsi, seven miles to the north, cutting the road which links those towns on the Pyrenees end of the front. Government advices declared also the gap cut earlier between Sort and Tremp, 21 miles further south, still was being held. Sort was said to be encircled on three sides. At Annual Dinner Sphinx, junior men's honorary so- iety, held its annual initiation yes- erday after tapping 20 sophomores and two faculty members.

Watson Named Track Captain For Next Year Green Chosen Manager; Twenty - Four Awarded 'M's' At Yearly Banquet Coming as a fitting climax to a great year, Bill Watson, Charlie oyt's "One Man. Track Team," last night was named to captain the Wolverine track team for next year. The selection of the big Saginaw athlete was made at the annual track banquet held at the Union. He suc- ceeds the late Stevens Mason, Jr. as leader of the undefeated Wolverine track forces, Jack Green, Babylon, N.Y. was named to succeed Bill Bourke as man- ager. 24 letter winners and seven secondary award winners were also named. Watson's selection came as no sur- prise as his performances of the past two years have placed his name high on the list of all time Michigan greats. Watson's performances this year have been such as to stamp him as a leading decathlon candidate for the 1940 Olympics. One of the first out to practice every day and one of the last to leave Watson earned every honor his efforts have brought him. His phenomenal feat of winning the shot put, discus and broad jump in addition to a third in the high jump in the Big Ten meet last week in Columbus paced the Wolverines to their second straight Conference out- door championship. His 52 feet 11% inches in the shot established another new Conference record. Among those introduced by Master of Ceremonies Phil Diamond last night were past Wolverine captains Jack Campbell, Chuck DeBaker, Tom Eleerby and Bob Osgood. Other speakers included Doc Carpenter, team physician; Dr. May, veteran (Continued on Page 3) Senators Fight Curb For PWA New Deal Is Battling Any Compromise WASHINGTON, May 24.-#P)-Ad- ministration leaders in the Senate called tonight for a no-compromise fight against a proposal to restric PWA's authority to finance munici pally-owned power projects. The restriction, penciled into the administration's $3,247,000,000 spend- ing-lending bill by the Senate Appro priations Committee, would prohibi* the use of PWA funds for building plants which would compete with ex isting privately owned systems whose rates were subject to public regula tion.

Norris, Nebraska stanch administration supporter, saiu that they favored complete elimina tion of the restriction.

To Fight Rebels War Office Denies Cedillo Uprising Serious; Labor Calls Rebellion Fascistic MEXICO CITY, May 24.-(P)-Two of Mexico's largest unions asked to- day for arms to fight a rebellion in the state of San Luis Potosi which government officials apparently were not taking very seriously. The few attaches of the war office who were not on vacation said noth- ing startling was happening on the front of Saturnino Cedillo's insurrec- tion which the labor unions regarded as a "Fascist rebellion." Neither did the war office seem per- turbed over a lesser outbreak in the adjoining state of Queretaro although the capital still did not know whether the uprising there was allied to the Cedillista revolt. Federal troops were sent in pursuit of the Queretaro rebels, a well or- ganized band of about 300 who raided the Galindo, Miranda and La Noria ranches, took horses and disarmed agrarians in the neighborhood. The appeal for arms to help Presi- dent Lizaro Cardenas subdue the Ce- dillistas came from the Crom, the re- gional confederation' of Mexican _workers, and the CGT, the Genera Confederation of Labor.

The Senate fu'ther asked that President Ruthven, in making new aculty appointments to the Board 'take into account the present Board's violation of its own estab- ished rules of appointment." The resolution, as passed by the Senate, reads as follows: "We, themembers of the Student Senate of the University of Michigan, while not wishing in any way to d-is credit the person involved, who wa in no way responsible for his ap- pointment, believe that the Board in Control of Studergt Publications in making the recent appointment of the managing editor of the Michigan Daily failed to' use the criteris. of merit established by- the Board Itself, "The Senate urges that thG Board in .Control of Student Publications mmedlately re-examine the w 'e situation with regard to the editor slp of. thDily trgh. hearing at which all persons con- cerned may appear.

The Senate moved this action afte evidence was introduced by Speaker Richard M. Scammon, who inter- viewed the chairman of the Board and the outgoing senior editors upon the petition of 10 members of the Senate The seven criteria for the Board's appointments as enumerated by Prof. William McLaughlin, chairman ol the Board, were reported by Scam- mon at the meeting to be: the recom- mendations of the retiring senior edit tors, vote of the entire Daily staff grades, recommendations of the com- posing room staff, individual peti- tions of the applicants for the post personal interviews and the genera: record of service of The Daily. It was claimed that as far as couk be determined the appointee led the field in only one of these respects namely grades. However, Sammz submitted that he had discovered tha four of the other five leading con- tenders for the position possesse better than a "B" aeraege. Prof. Louis Strauss, a member o the Board, was reported to have stat ed at the Spring Parley discussioI that the recommendations of the re tiring Senior editors were rated as 91 per cent of the basis for the Board' appointments.
