Is Asked By Fey
(By The Associated Presst
While an estimated 20,000 Nazis
paraded through Graz, Austria, last
night, Germany's Field Marshal Her-
mann Wilhelm Goering warned that
the Reich's air force was ready to
protect the "ten millions of Germans
on our borders."
Raising his voice to a high pitch,
the Marshal said, "And if the Fuehrer
used those proud words that we no
longer can tolerate the maltreatment
with impunity of ten millions of Ger-
mans on our borders, then you mem-
bers of the air force know that if need
be you must go the limit to make good
those words of the Fuehrer." Goer-
ing's speech, commemorating the
third anniversary of the air force, was
broadcast and also released verbatim
for foreign consumption.
Warning To CzechsE
His statements were taken not only
as a warning to Czechoslovakia and
Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg of Aus-
tria, but also to Premier Camille
Chautemps 'of France, who has been
upheld in his stand to support Czecho-
slovakia.
In Austria, the demonstration was
a welcome to a visit from Arthur
Seysz-Inquort,. the Hitler-approved
Minister of Interior. Authorities made
no attempt to resist the celebration.
Fey Calls Heiiwehrt
Meanwhile Major Ermuil 'Fey, former
Vienna chieftain of the Heimwehr,
the disbanded private army of Franz
Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg,
called on former members of the or-
ganization to join in fighting "for the
administration and for Austria."
Another faction entered the picture
when it was annoUnced that thou-
sands of peasants under Josef Reiter,
former Minister of Agriculture, were
planning a rally to show their sup-
port to Chancellor Schuschnigg. Other
groups were asked to demonstrate in a

East To Show
Films Of North
InTalK Tonight
Ben East, explorer and outdoor
writer for the Ann Arbor News, will
present a motion picture under the
auspices of the forestry school at
8:15 today in Hill Auditorium.
In talks to school groups yesterday,
Mr. East described his experiences in
the "Far North," and the life, cus-
toms and wild life in the barren lands
of northern Canada.
During the summer Mr East head-
ed a hunting and scientific expedi-
tion into the wilderness areas around
Hudson and James Bays, Canada, on
which he secured the films to be
shown this evening. His narration
will be centered about these pictures.
The primitive, childlike people who
inhabit these regions are the most in-
teresting part of his trip, said Mr.
East. Fear of starvation or freezing
to death make their life a continual
struggle.
Mr. East will speak at a luncheon
of the Rotary Club at noon today and
will conclude his stay in Ann Arbor
with the evening lecture.

Crisler's Former Pupil;
Staf Is Now Comiplete
Clarence Munn, present line coach
at Syracuse, who distinguished him-
self as a football and track star att
Minnusota, will join his former tutor,
Herbert O. (Fritz) Crisler, as Mich-
igan's line coach.
Munn's selection completes the re-
organization of the Wolverine foot-]
ball staff under Head Coach Crisler.-
The other newly-appointed aides are
Earl Martineau and Campbell Dick-l
son, backfield and end coach respec-
tively.
Described as "one of the greatest
athletes ever developed at Minnesota,"
Munn was twice named an All-Amer-
ican guard during Cisler's regime in
1930 and '31. He was also a shot put-
ter of note, holding both the indoor
and outdoor records in 1931 ands
breaking- the all-time Penn relay,
mark in that event.f
In football he earned the reputa-I
[ion of being the best blocker in the
Big Ten, He was also a fast running
guard and did all the punting. In his]
senior year, he was transferred to the
backfield to carry the ball. He was
an All-Conference and All-American
guard in 1930 and was again named
All-American in 1931. Prior to the re-
eipt of his B.S. degree of Minnesota
in 1932, he was recipient of the Con-
ference medal for athletics and scho-
larship and the Chicago Tribune

presidents and secretaries of their 10
districts, giving Congress a com-
plete organizational set-up for the
first time since it was established al-
most a year ago.
Its leaders expressed confidence
that the unexpectedly large turnout
indicated the demand for an inde-
pendent mens' organization. Plans
were immediately started to launch
the group on its program of service
to all non-affiliated men on cam-
pus.
These 10. presidents, comprising the
District Council, will meet Monday
to elect a Council president who will
sit on the Congress Executive Coun-
cil,
All committees like publicity and
welfare will continue to function with

DETROIT, March 1.-(P)-Harry
H. Bennett, personnel director for the
Ford Motor Car Company, said in a
statement today that continued em-
Dloyment of University of Michigan
students, "in many cases athletes,"
by the company 'rests with the
University's executive."
Bennett's statement followed the
assertion of Prof. Ralph W. Aigler,
the University's chairman of the
Board in Control of Physical Educa-
tion, that he hoped employers who
had supplied jobs to athletes would
continue to be interested, regardless
of who was football coach at Michi-
gan.
"The Ford Motor Car Company
believes in assistance to boys that
they may earn their education. The
company believes this is a responsi-
bility of industry, as well as sound
Americanism," Bennett asserted in
his statement.

"But in the past month, during
the period embracing the discharge
of Harry Kipke, there repeatedly has
come to the attention of myself and
others the information that such as-
sistance has been criticised by Presi-

The Administration's government re-

Byrd, beginning a floor fight
against the measure, cited provisions
permitting the Chief Executive to re-

government agencies. He told the
Seate that"the President thus could

His voice ringing, Byrd found fault
with numerous provisions of the mea-
