And New Investigation
Graduates Lead
Discussion Groups
Winding up their 11th annual two-
day conference, alumni of the School
of Business Administration yester-
day heard speeches, and participat-
ed in discussions on the monopoly
problem, the reorganization of busi-
nesses and the responsibility of man-
agement to the stockholder.
At the morning session in the Rack-
ham Amphitheatre, W. H. S. Stevens,
formerly economist for the Federal
Trade Commission and now connect-
ed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, traced the history of
the monopoly problem and the
growth of federal anti-trust legisla-
tion. Praising the Temporary Nation-
al Economic Committee, he declared
that it is gathering "a mine of in-
formation" which will aid the govern-
ment in defining public policy to-
wards monopolies.
In his discussion of business re-
organization, Walter Robbins, '96E,
of the Sangamo Electric Co., New
York, indicated that there was vital
need for reorganization in industry,
especially with regard to public re-
lations. Discussion on both Mr. Rob-
bins' and Mr. Stevens' talks was led
by Prof. Shorey Peterson of the eco-
nomics department and by Homer
Litel, investigator for the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation.
Concluding the conrerence's activi-
ties was a luncheon in the Union at
which Paul L. Morrison, Professor of
Finance and Investments at North-
western University, condemned the

Discover Plot
To Kill Benes
Plan Hatched In Europe
To Weaken Czechs
PARIS, May 20.-(AP)-Diplomatic
sources reported today a plot had
been discovered to send a man from
Europe to the United States to assas-
sinate Dr. Eduard Benes, former
President of now-dissolved Czecho-
Slovakia.
These sources said the scheme was
hatched in German-occupied Prague
both to weaken Czech standing in the
United States and to remove an im-
portant opponent of the Nazi regime.
Dr. Benes, who resigned as presi-
dent of the Czecho-Slovak republic
after it was reduced in size by the
Munich settlement of last Sept. 29,
has been in the United States since
Feb. 11.
Those who reported the plot said
that with their information in the
hands of the American police they
believed much danger to the former
president had been averted.

Quintuplets To Present
Dolls To Royal Visitors
CALLANDER, Ont., May 20.-(/P)-
Marie, smallest of the Dionne Quin-
tuplets, decided today that since she

playthings when they go to Toronto
for the royal presentation Monday.
Yvonne selected a duck, Annette
chose a bear almost as big as her-
self, Emily favored a three-year-old
monkey and Cecile decided upon a

Il Duce Boasts
Axis Alliance
Is Unbeatable
Mussolini Says Bloc Is
Forceful Safeguard For
Lasting European Peace
CUNEO, Italy, May 20.-()-Pre-
mier Mussolini asserted tonight the
Italian-German military alliance to
be signed Monday would create an
unbeatable bloc "of 150,000,000 men."
Speaking in Cuneo's main square
barely 30 miles from the French fron-
tier at the close of his week's tour
of the Piedmont region, 1l Duce said:
"This bloc, formidable in men in
arms, wants peace but is ready to
impose it in case the great conserva-
tive and reactionary democracies_
should try to halt our irresistible_
march."
Mussolini is fond of referring to
the combined populations of the
Italian and German empires as
"160,000,000 men." (The actual total,
including women and children, Ger-
many's new acquisitions and Italy's
overseas possessions, is somewhat
short of that figure.)
Meanwhile Britain and France
agreed on fresh proposals to win
Soviet Russia to their front last
night amid boastings from the rival
Rome-Berlin axis that it already had
forged an "unshakeable bloc" from
the Baltic to the Mediterranean.
The weekend diplomatic moves by 1
London and Paris and the proud
declarations of the German-ItalianV
partners were accompanied by indi-
cations that Europe's recent breath-v
ing spell was over and that the Ger-a
man-Polish dispute soon would comed
to a showdown.
The plan was reported reliably to
provide for a limited mutual assist-
ance pact among the three powers toS
satisfy Russian demands without in-g
volving Britain too far in eastern
Europe. -"

MichiganHigh Score
Watson Wins Three
In Last Appearance
By MEL FINEBERG
The only sentiment Michigan's in-
exorable track machine showed yes-
terday at the 39th Annual Western
Conference Track and Field Meet
at Ferry Field was in presenting
Charley Hoyt with an "M" blanket
on his last appearance as Michigan
track coach.
Outside of this fitting tribute, the
Wolverines showed no mercy as they
won 7 events in rolling up 641/4 points.
It was a new Michigan scoring record
and the second highest in Conference
history, as Hoytmen placed in every
event except the javelin, something
never before achieved in an outdoor
meet.
In spite of the surprisingly strong
showing Wisconsin made, in,spite of
the many upsets, the day was Michi-
gan's. And Michigan had dedicated
this one to Charley Hoyt.
Three Big Ten records were sent
rudely crumbling into oblivion and
a fourth was saved only by an act of

House Group
Uncovers Plan
For Revolution
Anti-Semitic Campaign
Would Employ Spanish
Mercenary Revolutionists
WASHINGTON, May 20.--(IP)-
House investigators, delving into a
bizarre story of an anti-semitic,
'counter-revolutionary" campaign in
the United States, said today word
was circulated in the campaign that
a "red army" of 150,000 trained mer-
cenaries was to be used in a modern
day American revolution.
Most of the mercenaries were said
in reports to the investigators to be
Spanish civil war veterans now refu-
gees in France.
The House committee investigating
,nAmerican activities said details of
the purported overthrow of this gov-
ernment were contained in the March
1 report sent out by Dudley Pierpont
Gilbert, socially prominent New York-
er, to a carefully-chosen list.
The report said the "general mili-
tary plan" of the revolutionaries in-
volved seizeure of territory, principal-
ly on the Atlantic seaboard where
eight of the Government's 11 arsen-
als are located. Public utilities were
to be captured by strikers, according
to the report, and a financial panic
created by the "dumping" of securi-
ties held by the revolutionaries.
Investigators said the committee
was told that a substantial number of
soldiers in the "red army" already
are in this country but that the plan'
is to raise funds to bring others
from France to Mexico and thence
across the border into the United
States.
Last Hoyt-Coached Team
Galens To Aid '
In Expanding
Hospital Work
Not content to limit their activities
each year to an annual tag-day for
the benefit ofaneedy children in the
University Hospital, Galens, medical
honor society, recently opened a
candy and newsstand on the main
floor of the hospital.
With 1400 beds, 1800 employees,
and an annual admittance of ap-
proximately 25,000 the hospital is
veritably a city in itself. The money
obtained from the sales will permit
Galens to expand their work in the
hospital to include adults as well as
children. Their work now consists of
providing entertainment for the sick
children and supplying a workshop
in which the youngsters can spend
their time while convalescing.
Each year since 1928 on Dec. 1 and
2 twenty-eight members of Galens
have taken their posts on the campus
and in the down-town district to sell
their tags and have averaged about
$1,600 every year. Part of this fund
is used to hold a huge Christmas
party for allthe kiddies in the hos-
pital.
New officers elected for the com-
ing year are: Robert Plumb, presi-
dent, Marshall MacDonald, vice-
president, Loren Wanless, secretary,
Charles Newton, treasurer.
Farley Confident For '40
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-('P)--
James A. Farley, Democratic na-
tional chairman, asserted tonight an-
other victory for the party in the 1940
elections is "within our grasp if we
seize the opportunity and march for-
ward, shoulder to shoulder" under the
principles of President Roosevelt.
'I
Cod. Bill Watson's new discus mark
of 160 ft. 10% in., which he made
n the preliminaries Friday in break-
.ng Arlie Mucks' 23-year old record
>f 155 ft. 2 in., went unchallenged
today and the two new marks came
when Michigan's mile relay team of
Jack Leutritz, Doug Hayes, Phil Bal-
reat and Warren Breidenbach, broke
the old mark of 3:15.2 by five-tenths
>f a second and when Chicago's Bob
Cassels soared 14 ft. 2% in. to break
a nine year old mark by four and.
one-quarter inches.
A cloudburst prevented Breiden-
bach from erasing another 23-year-
old mark, Binga Dismond's 47.4 quar-
ter. Immediately after Myron Piker
of Northwestern won the first event
the hundred, in 9.9 with Ohio State's
Bob Lewis second and the favored
Al Smith of Michigan, third, the
overcast clouds let loose a torrent of
rain that drove the quarter-milers
to shelter and 9,300 spectators under
the stands. The downpour continued
for fifteen minutes and left the track
covered with little lakes of water.
But Breidenbach, who had run a
47.2 quarter last week, was off in
front and a yard ahead of Jack Sulz-
man of Ohio at the furlong with
Ross Faulkner a close third. Sulzman
made his bid at the 300-yard mark
but Breidenbach poured it on and
won, like a true champion, going
away.
Balyeat came up fast on the- back
stretch and his drive just failed to
nip the Buckeye. Faulkner, who was
troubled with a leg injury, limped
home in last place while Leutritz beat
off defending champion Harley How-
ells of Ohio for fourth. The time,
which Charley Hoyt called remark-
able considering the wind and the
track, was 47.6.

Michigan Sailing Club Embarks
On Third Year Of Organization
By ROBERT SOLOMON
Running before the wind, the Uni-
versity of Michigan Sailing Club isc
rounding the buoy which marks the
second year of its existence. As the
only sailing club in the Big Ten it
owns four cat-boats and expects with-
in a week to come into possession of
a fifth boat, a sloop.
The 30 members of the club, rang-

According to Commodore Tony de
Palma, president, there are three
classes of seamen in the club: neophy-

experienced than the neophytes, and
the skippers, who are the highest
ranking members. In order to reach
the rank of skipper the neophytes
and crewmen must be proficient in
the arts of knot-tying, splicing, jib-
ing, tacking and in general, must be

By HERVIE HAUFLER
A veteran actor recently requisi-
tioned to play in a Federal Theatre
project, Harry Irvine believes that
"the conception of Federal Arts Pro-
jects is unquestionably a very fine
one."
Mr. Irvine, who will head the cast
of Elmer Rice's "American Land-
scape," to be offered here next week
by the 1939 Dramatic -Season, ob-
serves that there are many people,
out-of-work through no fault of their
own, who want work instead of re-
lief. These include not only factory
workers and mechanics, but thous-
ands of writers, painters and players.
The Federal Arts Projects permit
these artists to do work they are
capable of doing.
EshtabiAs eHurrielv
By a rush program of organiza-
tion; however, Mrs. Hallie Flanagan
built up the project and asked Elmer
Rice, author of next week's play
here, to head it. These two succeed-
ed in meeting the Congressional time
limit and so won the appropriation.
The outstanding contribution of
the Federal Theatre, Mr. Irvine de-+
clared, undoubtedly ihas , been the+
"Living Newspaper," a series of plays
each showing some modern American
problem. An example cited is "One
Third of a Nation," dealing with the
housing problem.
No Text-Book To Private Shows
There is no question of real com-
petition between Federal Theatre
projects and commercial productions,
Mr. Irvine claims, since the Theatre
