York agreement with the United
Mine Workers of America for a union
shop.
Gov. A. B. Chandler, carrying out
his word of several days ago that the
troops would be on hand Monday to
giv6 any miner a chance to work if
he desired, signed the mobilization
>rder for 557 troops, and warned: '
"No one can tell our people to
work or not to work and no one can
come into this state and cause
;rouble. This is not a political mission,
but a peaceful mission."
This statement was issued when
the Governor learned John L. Lewis,
head of the UMWA (CIO), had de-
clared in New York: "Public policy
requires that they keep those mines
closed," adding: "Soldiers will not
operate those mines." Lewis said he
would handle the Harlan situation
personally.
Lewis Signs Contract
NEW YORK, May 13.-(JP)-Three
hundred thousand soft .coal miners,
idle for six weeks, will return to work
Monday under the first union-shop
contract ever signed by John L.
Lewis' United Mine Workers of
America (CIO) and a majority of
mae operators of the Appalachian
conference.
Fifteen of the 21 coal associations
in the conference signed the two-
year contract today, concluding nego-
tiations which began two months ago
and were marked by unyielding re-
sistance to the union shop until Presi-
dent Roosevelt personally intervened.
The six dissenting associations were
all southern groups, employing about
45,000 men and producing 45,000,000
tons a year, but five individual south-
ern companies followed the majority
and signed separate agreements.
There were indications that perhaps
two entire associations would break
from the southern bloc and follow,
suit.
tYellows Win
football Match
'Blues' Defeated, 31-26
In Intra-S quad Game
By CHRIS VIZAS
The Yellows turned the tables on
the Bues and made them swallow
their pre-game boast of victory as
they scored a 31 to 26 triumph in the
annual spring intra-squad football
classic yesterday afternoon at the
stadium before approximately 3,000,
fans.
While the entire squad demon-
strated a smooth functioning attack
and steam-rollered its way to nine
touchdowns, it looked poor on de-
fense, according to Coach Fritz
Crisler. This, however, was attribut-
ed to the fact that offense was
stressed during spring drills and de-
fense neglected.
Three major problems will con-
front the Wolverine coaching staff
next fall, stated Crisler: a question-
mark line, the problem of reserves,
and the ever present "ifs and in-
juries." Included in the latter prob-
lem is the question of how will the leg
injuries of fullback Howard Me-
haffey, quarterback Jack Meyer., and
tackle Roland Savilla effect their
play, and how many men will the

Britain May
Offer Russia
Concessions
Soviet Cooperation Sought
In Completing Coalition
Against Fascist Nations
Political Quarters
Predict Agreement
LONDON, May 13. -(A')- Great
Britain was believed today to be ready
to offer important concessions to
Soviet Russia in an effort to add her
to the British-French line-up.
The Front's gain yesterday of stra-
tegic Turkey left Russia as the most
vital link still missing.
It was taken for granted i virtually
all British political quarters that an
agreement would be reached with
Russia even in the face of caustic
Russian criticism of Britain's coun-
terproposals to the Soviet proposal
of a mutual assistance pact among
Britain, France, the Soviet Union
and possibly Poland.
Chamberlain Prepared
As the British Governmeit awaited'
an official reply to its counter-pro-
posals, political demands that noth-
ing be spared to get an agreement
gained such strength that Prime
Minister Chamberlain was reported
ready to offer further concessions.
So vital was Russia regarded in
the efforts to extend the British-
French front that most informed ob-
servers believed failure to gain her,
cooperation would jeopardize Cham-
berlain's political position seriously. .
Because of Turkey's close relations
with Russia, yesterday's announce-
ment of a British-Turkish mutual de-
fense agreement was taken generally
as a sign that Russia's ultimate co-
operation definitely was counted on.
What price Britain eventually
might have to pay was uncertain, but
some of the most outspoken advocates
of a British-Russian arrangement
said they were in favor of meeting
the highest terms thus far indicated
by Russia.
Japan And Italy Quiet
In the present tension between Ger-
many and Poland over Reichsfuehrer
Hitler's demands for return of the
Free City of Danzig to Germany, both
Japan and Italy have indicated they
were on the side of moderation.
At the same' time the belief was
growing in diplomatic quarters here
that Nationalist Spain would make
an effort to stay neutral in event of
any clash between the great powers.
Hitler Plans Tour
Of Western Forts
BERLIN, May 13.-?)-Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler made plans today at
Obersalzberg; his Bavarian mountain'
retreat, for "a demonstrative" tour I
of Germany's formidable western
frontier fortifications by Nazi leaders.
He also received a lengthy report
from Col.-Gen. Walther von Brauch-
itsch, his chief of army staff, on his
talks with Italian military chiefs.
The demonstrative character of the
tour of fortifications, in which Hitler
himself may participate, was shown
by the fact that all "Reichs-Leiter,"
meaning top Nazis in charge of one of
the main subdivisions of the Nazi
movement, and all "Gau," or district,
leaders, will accompany Colonel-Gen-
eral von Brauchitsch.
Fraternity Sing's
Eliminations ield
Tomorrow Night
Many a fraternity man's heart will
be broken and prestige traimpelled in
the dust tomorrow evening. It is at
that time that eliminations in the
Interfraternity Sing will be held.
The eliminations were necessitated
by the large number of entries in this
year's traditional event. In order to
provide complete impartiality in the
judging of the event, moreover, only
independent members of the Glee
Club will serve as judges.
The presentation of the cup signi-
fying, supreme fraternity singing
championship by lovely Joanna Roos,
one of the cast in the drama festi-
val's "White Steed" will do much,
however, to raise the spirits of all
those fraternities whose vocal abilities
are found to be unequal to their en-
thusiasm.

Forces French To Act

PARIS, Sunday, May 14.-(P )-
France sent a strong squadron of her
Mediterranean fleet to Tunisian wa-
ters last night upon receipt of re-
ports that Premier Mussolini in a
speech today would engage in an ex-
tremely bitter anti-French outburst.
This turn of events placed the
French - Italian dispute alongside
these weekend developments in the
intense rivalry between Europe's Ger-
man-Italian and British-French bloc.
France found comfort in reports
from Tokyo of new evidences of Ja-
panese reluctance to cast her lot in a
close military line-up with Germany
and Italy.
A further stiffening of. Poland to-
ward Germany was indicated by a
strong protest to the Nazified Danzig
Senate against denying Poles in the
free city.

Jepson And Bonelli
Thrown Out Of Hall
Helen Jepson and Richard Bonelli,
who made such a good impression yes-
terday in Verdi's "Otello," didn't do so
well the night preceding.
Returning from a movie, they de-
cided to stop in at Hill Auditorium
and listen to the last few of Marian
Anderson's numbers. Stopped at the
door, they explained who they were,
and asked if it would not be all right
if they were to stand in the back of
the hall until the end of the program.
They were admitted.
It was easier, however, to get in
than stay in. A member of the Uni-
versity police force patrolling the rear
of the auditorium spotted them and
found they had no seats. "You can't
get awaywith this,"hhe asserted,
guilding them toward the door.
There was nothing else to do-they
left.
Last night, to make sure, they en-
tered by the stage door.

Wolverines' 13-Hit Drive
Brings Walk-Away Win;
Beebe And Gedeon Star
Barry Hurls Steady
Game For Victors
By MEL FINEBERG
Michigan's frustrated Wolverines,
faced with complete elimination from
the Big Ten title race, laid down a
barrage of extra base blows and bunts
yesterday at Ferry Field to over-
whelm Indiana, 11-1 and thus re-
tained an outside chance for Confer-
ence honors as Purdue lost to Ohio
State.
Elmer Gedeon and Leo Beebe led
the 13 hit attack with home runs
while the Wolverine infield extri-
cated Jack Barry from what little
trouble he did get into by executing
three snappy double plays.
Beebe Homers
The avalanche started in the sec-
ond after Bill Steppon, playing short-
;top, struck out and Danny Smick,
playing right feld, grounded to short.
Pete Lisagor singled sharply to left
field and Leo Beebe gave an indica-
tion of things to come with a long
drive to left center that rolled all
the way to the tennis courts. It was
the first homer of the year at Ferry
Field and Beebe was rounding third
by the time the ball was retrieved.
Wolverine prosperity continued un-
abated in the third inning. Charley
Pink beat out a bunt and when Ernie
Andres fell down in attempting to
field Fred Trosko's bunt, Pink raced
around to third and Trosko stopped
at first. Pink scored, and Trosko
went to second when Boz Stoshitz
let a pitch get by him. Walt Peckin-
paugh then walked and Gedeon scored
them both ahead of him with a line
homer down the first base line. Step-
pon grounded out to the pitcher but
Smick got a life on Mike Kosman's
momentary bobble, advanced to sec-
ond on Don Hundley's wild pitch and
scored the fifth run of the inning on'
Beebe's single.
Gedeon Sacrifices
Pink and Trosko started the fourth
by beating out successive bunts.
Peckinpaugh advanced them both
with his sacrifice and Pink came home
on Gedeon's sacrifice fly to left field.
Trosko went to third on Andres' low
throw to first of Steppon's slow roller
and scored on Smick's single to center
field.
The Wolverines were at it again in
;he sixth when Beebe walked and
stole second and third. Pink got on
base for the fourth consecutive time
by walking and he went to second
and Beebe scored on a passed ball.
Trosko walked and both advanced on
Peck's infield out. Pink then scored
the last Michigan run when Gedeon
beat out a hit to deep short.
Barry had the situation well in
hand all along as he scattered seven
hits. The lone Hoosier run came in
the ninth on Earl Smith's bobble, Hal

New Yearling Track Coach
Has Trained Former
MichiganCinder Men
The long deferred announcement
of the successor to Ken Doherty as
freshman track coach of the Univer-
sity of Michigan was made and persis-
tent rumors of the past month were
substantiated yesterday with the
naming of Chester R. Stackhouse,1
Saginaw High School coach, to the
position.
The announcement was made by
Athletic Director Fielding H. Yost
following a meeting of the Board in,
Control of .Physical Education.
Stackhouse, who has sent such
track luminaries as Capt. Bill Wat-
son, Ralph Schwarzkopf, Jack Leut-
ritz and Sherm Olmsted to Michigan,
will join Doherty, who succeeds
Charles B. Hoyt as head coach, in the
fall.
Doherty last night expressed ex-
treme satisfaction at the Board's
choice. "The Board considered appli-
cations from all over the country," he
said, "and I feel that they chose the
best man for the job. He is a keen
student of track technique and I am
sure that he will fill the bill to per-
fection. Throughout his high school
coaching experience he has shown a
remarkable ability to get men out for
track and keep them out and that is
the kind of man we want for this
job."
Stackhouse comes to Michigan
with a fine record as a developer of
trackmen. In his seven years as track
coach at Saginaw, his teams have
never lost a dual meet to a Class A

Hook And Lawton
Handle Shot-Put
By HERMAN EPSTEIN
An almost total eclipse of the sons
of Ohio State occurred on Ferry
Field yesterday afternoon as the
Buckeye track team moved into the
shadow of the Wolverine powerhouse,
and was nearly obliterated behind a
1021/2 to 28%/ shellacking.
However, even the score was out-
shone as the relay team, Warren
Breidenbach, Capt. Watson, and
Ralph Schwartzkopf turned in record-
shattering performances.
Breidenbach Sets Record
Breidenbach set the fans raving
as he blazed around the track in
the 440 to a 47.2 record. The sopho-
more wasin front all the way, while
Ross Faulkner ran at his shoulder to
finish second ahead of Ohio's Jack
Sulzman. The Wolverine pair ap-
parently boxed Sulzman going around
the turn. The time unofficially bet-
ters the Conference record of 47.4,
and set new Ferry Field and meet
marks.
In the final event of the day, the
same duo combined with Jack Leu-
tritz and Phil Balyeat to set a new
record of 3:13.9, the fastest ever run
east of the Pacific coast. Leutritz
and Sulzman led off, and the two
passed the batons together. Faulk-
ier opened up a six-yard lead over
Durwood Cooperrider, and added 48.2
seconds to Leutritz's 49 flat. Phil Bal-
yeat lengthened the margin to twelve
yards over Harley Howells, before
giving the baton to Breidenbach.
Though he didn't really open up,
Warren electricfied the crowd by run-
ning ,away from Bob Lewis to finish
some thirty yards in front with a
48.8 quarter.
Schwartzkopf Breaks Jinx
Ralph Schwartzkopf broke his
Buckeye jinx, the meet mark, and
Don Lash's Ferry Field record for
the two mile, leading Whittaker by
100 yards. Brad Heyl was third.
Schwartzkopf's new mark was 9:17.3.
Captain Watson didn't enter the
shot put. However, he kept busy by
effacing the Ferry Field and meet
recor'ds in the discus with a prodig-
ious heave of 161 feet, one and three-
quarters inches, which is six feet bet-

British-Turkish Pact Declared
Wedge In Axis' Balkan Line-Up
By HOWARD A. GOLDMAN
England, by her recent mutual aid
pact with Turkey, has driven a wedge
in the axis powers' line of diplomatic
and commercial agreements in the
Balkans, declared Prof. Benjamin W.
Wheeler of the history department in
an interview yesterday.
Germany's advance into Czecho-
slovakia and her close relationships
,ith Hungary, together with Italy's
se'izure of Albania, had seemed, to
place the axis powers in a much
stronger position than the Anglo-
French entente in regard to the Bal-
kans, Professor Wheeler added. How-
ever, the Anglo-Turkish pact, he
said, will tend to restore the balance
of power in that area.
Professor Wheeler emphasized,
moreover, that this agreement can
have little military significance un-
til it is proved in time of actual
Turkey than had England. The pact,
he added, will certainly tend to keep
Turkey out of the Rome-Berlin axis.
As the agreement is a victory for
England, so is it a diplomatic de-
feat for Franz von Papen, German
emissary recently sent to Ankara sup-
posedly to forestall that very pact,
Professor Wheeler declared. However,
von Papen's status in. Nazi official-
dom is still a mystery and it is still a
question whether his Turkish mis-
sion was really meant to be impor-
tant.
England's bargaining power in the
diplomatic field is greatly streng-
thened by the pact, he declared, be-
cause it gives her free access to the
Dardanells, a privilege which Rus-
sia has been seeking for centuries. He
indicated that England can now of-
fer to use her good offices to secure
for Russia the privileges which Eng-
