No. 176 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1938 I _ _ - U.S. Offers Canada TreatyTo Develop St.LawrenceBasin Elected Captain ^n Plans To Build A Channel Giving Liners Access To Interior Of United States Seeks To Expand Water Power Too WASHINGTON, May 31.-(P)- The United States offered Canada tonight a comprehensive" treaty for the planned development and use of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence basin. The treaty contemplates a 27-foot channel through which ocean-going vessels may reach, the heart of both countries and also a huge hydro- electric power project. This government, the State De- partment announced, "is prepared to finance the works necessary to carry sea-borne commerce past the inter- national rapids and to make possible power development from these rapids whenever desired by either country." Expenses To Be Shared Previous estimates place the total cost at $543,429,000, of which the American share would be $272,453,- 000 (about $225,000,000 of new money) and the Canadian $270,976,- 000. The treaty obliges the United States to proceed with the work at once but lets Canada postpone her work until December 31, 1949, when her power needs are keener. In effect, the United States agrees to build and pay for a hydroelectric dam in the international rapids sec- tion of the St. Lawrence. w Canada 'builds a deep waterway canal around the rapids, but the United States finances it. -Secretary of State Hull, in a note to Canadian Minister Sir Herbert Marler accompanying , the draft treaty, said the proposed accord would Work On International Rapids "1. Enable the United States to go forward immnediately with the in- ternational rapids section link in the proposed St. Lawrence deep water- way and the incidental power devel- opment; "2. Defer Canada's responsibility for completing its share of the wa- terway for a sufficient time to assure the readiness of the Ontario power market to absorb its share of the power; "3. Provide for an international commission to develop plans and ad- vise the two 'governments in a pro- gram to promote the most advan- tageous use of the entire Great Lakes-St. Lawrence resource; "4. Assure the immediate under- taking under the supervision of this commission of the proposed remedial works to preserve the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls; "5. Permit the province of On- tario to go forward with its plans for diversion from the Albany River basin into the Great Lakes and util- ize such additional water for power at Niagara; "6.

The emergency cash would be set aside from the proposed WPA Ap- propriation of $1,425,000,000 provided in the $3,000,000,000 Lending-Spend- ing bill. Vandenberg said the plight of the larger industrial cities was a "clear indication" that more direct relief would be necessary to supplement the existing systei. Inclusion of even $50,000,000, Van- denberg said, constituted "recognition that the relief problem may become too large to be handled by work re- lief alone." Senator Byrnes (Dem., S.C.) ob- jected to Vandenberg's proposal, say- ing it would be a departure from 'four Klled As Mexican Police FightCatholics MEXICO CITY, May 3.-(AP)-Dis- patches from Villahermosa.

The clash, following several weeks of dissension, occurred when police sought to block efforts of Catholics at Villahermosa to erect a church on the site of Conception Church, which was razed along with every other church in the state in the 10-year dictatorship of Tomas Garrido Cana- bal. Gov. Victor Fernandez Manero said in a telegram received here that the "Catholics are in open rebellion." He charged an attorney, Juan Abascal, and two priests, Pilar Hidalgo and Macario Fernandez Aguod, with re- sponsibility for the ,agitation. Reports received by Catholics sources in Mexico City said that ten- sion continued after the fighting yes- terday while Tabasco Catholics ap- pealed to President Lazaro Cardenas to soften the anti-religious legislation which Garrido put into effect.

Nazi Church Fight Reported Near End BERLIN, May 31.-(P)-Reichs- ,fuehrer Adolf Hitler is reliably re- ported in Protestant church circles to be convinced that Nazi opposition to the church should cease. There is no official evidence as yet of any orders to that effect, but the understanding among prominent Protestant churchmen is that Hitler has reached the conclusion extreme Nazi criticism is not stamping out the church. Hitler is pictured as disappointed that the Nazi so-called "German Christian" movement did not sweep the church as he imagined it would. Now, after a period of holding aloof WALTER PECKINPAUGH * * * Baseball Team Oitplays Bears In 8-6 Contest Peckinpaugh Elected '39 Captain By Teammates; 15 Letterwinners Named By HERB LEV Shwing no regard for past records or reputations, Michigan's Varsity baseball tean ended its season in im- pressive fashion by drubbing the' highly touted California nine, 8-6 yesterday afternoon on Ferry Field. At a. meeting of the lettermen af-, ter the game, Walter Peckinpaugh, third baseman from East Cleveland, Ohio, was elected captain of the team for the 1939 season, succeeding Merle Kremer. At the same time, Bill Crowe of Grand Rapids was chos- en next year's manager, with George McKain of Detroit as alternate. The, four new junior managers are Jackk Cooper, Hugh Wagner, Otto Becker, and John Rane. Bears' Record Broken The Golden Bears, champions of# the Pacific Coast Conference, came to Ann Arbor with a record of 10 straight victories on their eastern trip. However all great teams have7 off-days, and California had theirs yesterday. While the Wolverinesl clubbed the offerings of California's star right-hander, Bill Priest, for 11t hits, his teammates contributedt greatly to his downfall by commit- ting eight errors in the field. Burt 'Bucko' Smith, pitching hisI last game for Michigan, went the1 distance for the Wolverines and al- lowed the coast boys seven safeties.r Only in the fourth inning, when he1 was touched for three runs including a long home run by Melbin Duza- beau, was Burt in any deep trouble. Both Score In First Both teams started early and, scored a run apiece in the first in- hing. The Bears counted on a pair of walks and a single by Tony Firpo, but Michigan came back to knot the score in their half, Don Brewer counting on Peckinpaugh's mighty triple to right center. Elmer Gedeon's single and three Bear nsplays, gave the Wolverines (Continued on Page 3) New 'Ensian Staff AppointedBy Laing Appointments for the 1939 Michi-t ganensian were announced yester- day by the newly-appointed editor,a David G.

Zimmerman Elected Vice-President; Belden Is New Secretary Council Votes New Class Election Plan Fred Luebke, '39E, of Ann Arbor was elected president of the Men' Council at a meeting last night in the Union. Donald F. Zimmerman '39F&C, Mishawaka, Ind., and Don Belden, '39, Royal Oak, were elected vice-president and secretary, respec- tively. Hugh Rader, '38, and Bruce Telfer, '38, are the retiring president and secretary of the Council. Immediately following the election, the Council voted to adopt "a definite plan to reorganize class elections and eliminate dirty politics," under which all but senior class elections would be abolished. Luebke, a member of Acacia fra- ternity, was on the Union executive council, the Michigras committee and the Military Ball committee, and was treasurer of the junior engineering class.DBelden, a member of Delta Tau Delta, is recording secretary of the Union, a member of Michigamua, Triangles, Phi Eta Sigma and Tau Beta Pi, and was in dharge of the two Union open houses and the cheering sections at the football games last year. Zimmerman is a member of Theta Delta Chi. Ted Grace, '39, Detroit, a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon, and James Clark, '39A, Kansas City, Mo., a mem- ber of Phi Delta Theta, were elected to the executive committee of the Council. Marvin Reider, '39, Detroit, Wes Warren, '39E, of Kalamazoo, a mem- ber of Theta -Chi, Joe Bonavito, '38BAd., New York City and Wallace Hook, '39, Grand Rapids, a member of Alpha Delta Phi, were elected to the Judiciary committee.{ The tentative plan, proposed by the Council last night, calls for a cam- pus-wide election of an electoral col- lege to choose student members of the Board in Control of Student Publications, the Board in Control of Athletics andthe Men's Council, thus eliminating campus-wide elec- tions. "The plan is .necessarily incom- plete in details at the present time," Luebke said, "but the fine points will be worked out at subsequent meet- ings of the Council, before it is sub- mitted for campus and University ap- proval." Insurgents Kill 500 In Air Raid On Granolle rs British Freighter Is Sunk; Madrid Hospitals Under Intensive Rebel Shelling BARCELONA, May 31.--(P-A swift and terrible foray by a squad- ron of tri-motored Insurgent bomb- ers took a heavy toll of dead and injured today in the crowded Catalan town of Granollers, 16 miles north of Barcelona. Estimates of the dead ran as high as 500. There were many wounded. Almost simultaneous with the Grannollers bombardment, the Brit- ish freighter Penthames was bombed and sunk in an Insurgent air raid on Valencia harbor and inmates of three Madrid hospitals were endan- gered in an intensive Insurgent shelling of the southwestern part of that city. Five tri-motored Insurgent planes poured a torrent of bombs on the Granollers market place and on long lines of men, women and children waiting to get potato rations. The raid caught many women out for morning marketing. At one spot 50 persons were killed, at another, 55. Some 25 buildings were de- stroyed Hospital facilities in the town, whose normal population was swelled by an influx of refugees from war areas of Government Spain, were in- adequate to care for the wounded. Many injured were sent to Barcelona and to nearby villages. New Dealers Quit Fight For Reorganizing Senate, House Committees Shelve Government Bill; Big Session Row Ended Will Reopen Issue In Next Session WASHINGTON, May 31.-(1)5- s With President Roosevelt's consent, his legislative lieutenants pigeon- holed a Government reorganization bill today until the next Congres- 3 sional session. Chairman Byrnes (Dem., S.C.) and acting Chairman Warren (Dem., N.C.) of the Senate and House Re- organization Committees said in a joint statement: "No further effort will be made to pass the reorganization bill at this session." The announcement, officially quashing talk of reviving the bill, defi- nitely ended one of the bitterest rows of the session, smoothed the way to- ward adjournment, and confirmed a major rebuff the Administration suf- fered last April 8 at the hands of leg- islators. Bill Killed On that date the House, by a vote of 204 to 196, sent the reorganization bill back to a special committee. For a time that was believed to be the end of the measure, but more recently there had been reports the con- troversy would be reopened. The decision to abandon the leg- islation for the session was reached at a morning White House conference attended by the President, Speaker Bankhead and Senator Barkley of Kentucky and Representative Ray- burn of Texas, the two Democratic leaders. Barkley, informed persons said, ad- vised Mr. Roosevelt that a formal dec- laration of intentions would help end dilatory Senate tactics against the $3,000,000,000 spending-lending, bill and consequently speed adjournment. Spending Bill Delayed Admi istration leaders had ex- pressed belief that some Senators had been delaying the $3000,000,000 bill to make certain there would be .in- sufficient time this session to revive the Reorganization measure, which has many bitter opponents in both Houses. Byrnes and Warren projected the Reorganization problem into the next Congress as one of its earliest issues. They said: "It is our opinion that the Ameri- can people overwhelmingly desire some kind of effective reorganization of our government in the interest of greater efficiency and practical econ- omy." The statement announcing it was sponsored jointly by Chairman Byrnes (Dem., S.C.) of the Senate Reorganization Committee and acting Chairman Warren (Dem., N.C.) of the corresponding House group. They said that Senate Majority Leader Barkley and House Leader Rayburn had declared the action has the "approval of the President." Search Delayed For Florida Boy, Father Defies Death Threat As He Calls On FBI PRINCETON, Fla., May 31.-(AP)-- Several hundred persons who had as- sembled here to search for kidnaped James Baily Cash, Jr., dispersed to- night upon request of the Federala Bureau of Investigation and the par- ents of the five-year old child. It was feared a demonstration would frighten the abductors, who took the pajama clad-boy from his father's apartment house on the Mi- ami-Key West Highway Saturday Cash reported he paid, early today, the $10,000 ransom 'demanded. The crowd was told to be ready at daybreak if called upon to begin a- search of the flat surrounding farm- ing country known as the Redlands. W. P. Cash, uncle of James, Jr., said there was hope of making an- other contact with the kidnapers to- night.

The gathering included most of the dignitaries who accom-J panied him here as well as the; podesta, or mayor, of Castel Gan- dolfo, the chief of the local cara- binieri and local Fascist leaders. The anniversary found him comparatively healthy. Persons near him said that he appeared' ( as strong, perhaps stronger, than he was a year ago. Japs, Chinese Claim Victory Over Hankow More Than 100 Planes Clash; Chinese Claim 15 Victims And Japs 20 SHANGHAI, June 1., (Wednesday), -(P)--Both Chinese and Japanese claimed victory today in one of the greatest air battles of the war in Which more than 100 planes fought high over Hankow. A Japanese naval communique de- clared 30 Japanese planes raided Generalissimo Chiang Kai - Shek's capital and shot down 20 Chinese planes while only one of their own failed to return. China's aviation headquarters, however, declared 54 Japanese planes attempted to make the raid but were beaten off with a loss of 1 planes. Disputing Japanese reports that the Hankow airfield was heavily bombed, Chinese declared the Japanese were prevented from carrying out the raid. While Japanese planes struck at Hankow and Canton, ground forces of both armies apparently were dead- locked again in the vicinity of Lan- feng, along the Lunghai railroad in central China. Severe fighting was reported among the mud-walled villages between the Lunghai and the Yellow River with Chinese troops still counter-attack- ing to break the Japanese drive west- ward toward Hankow. Chinese pursuit planes, Chiang's air officials said, knew in advance of the approach of Japan's air raiders and hovered hawklike above Hankow waiting. When the invaders appeared, they said, the Chinese planes dove and scattered the Japanese squadrons, engaging them in thrilling dogfights, part of which could be seen from the city below. Peirce Appointed To Hospital Post Dr. Carleton B. Peirce, professor of roentgenology in the University medi- cal school resigned his post yesterday to become director of the department New Deal Charge WASHINGTON, May 31. - The Supreme Court today directed its guns at the New Deal when, n ar unprecedented per urliam opinion,I reprimanded Solicitor General Rob- ert H. Jackson and Secretary of Ag- riculture Wallace for charging that the tribunal was inconsistent. The 6 to 1 vote was taken at the Court's closing session with Justices Stanley F. Reed and Benjamin N. Cardozo absent and Justice Hugo L. Black dissenting but filing no writ- ten protest. Challenge Decisions When the Supreme Court on April 25 voided rates imposed by Secretary Wallace on Kansas City stockyards commission men, the secretary of agriculture challengedthe decision as a reversal of a 1936 opinion written by Chief Justice Hughes and warned him of a new court fight. The court based its position in the stockyards case on the claim of plaintiffs that they had not been given a fair hearing and that the agriculture department failed to fife intermediary reports, It called this procedure "more than an irregularity in practice, it is a vital defect." Wallace, in a series of statements, said that the procedure condemned was inherited from the previous ad- ministration and had been aban- doned since the stockyards order was issued. Jackson said the court ruled two years ago in the same Kansas City case that the procedure was of no significance but now holds that it 1s "fatally defective.," Calls Attack Unwarranted "We do not here question the pwer of the, court to reverse its previous decision if .it considers it to have been erroneous," the Solicitor Gen- eral said a week and a half ago. "We do suggest that the reversal warrants a rehearing.' The court called his attack unwar- ranted and said: "Not only are the two decisions in- consistent, but the rule announced in our former opinion was applied and was decisive of the present appeal, and the government is in no position to claim surprise. The .statement made in the petition for rehearing that the present decision is con- trary to the law of the case as de- clared in our first opinion is wholly unwarranted." Mayor Faces BribeCharge Johnstown Head Accused Of StrikeActivity JOHNSTOWN, Pa., May 3L (P)- An information was filed tonight charging Mayor Daniel J. Shieds of Johnstown and Councilman Fulton I. Connor with bribery, extortion and malfeasance in office in connection with money paid to them during the "Little Steel' 'strike here last sum- mer. The Mayor was charged with "knowingly, unlawfully, fraudulently and extortiously" receiving "certain fees and rewards" amqunting to $36,- 449.50. Connor is chairman of the coun- cil's finance committee. County detective Carroll said the charges were filed after an inves- tigation of testimony at the Na- tional Labor Board's hearing of the Bethlehem Steel case here and of the La Follette Civil Liberties Commit- tee in Washington. Witnesses told the labor board the Bethlehem Steel Company had agreed to furnish $25,000 to help maintain law and order in Johnstown during the strike. Francis C. Martin, chair- man of the Johnstown's Citizens Committee was named in the infor- mation as paying to Shields $32,- 077.50, which witnesses before the Board stated had come from Bethle- hem officials.
