If the withdrawal was arranged for
at Munich between Chamberlain and
Premier Befiito Mussolini, as many
here believe, the Prime Minister ac-
complished a task there which the
International Non-Intervention Com-
mittee has been working on vainly for
two years.
The Rome move today did not, how-
ever, touch the more important prob-
lem of Italian technicians and avia-
tors fighting in Spain and the ques-
tion of Italian munitions, all of which
Britain wants taken out of Spain and
Italy wants kept there.
The Italian decision was welcomed
in London but the Earl of Perth, the
British Ambassador to Rome, is ex-
pected to continue pressing Foreign
Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano to
promise to cease all aid to Spanish in-
surgents before Parliament re-
assembles Nov.1.

It was expected Chamberlain then
might ask Parliament to approve ap-

Technic Opens
Sale Tuesday
Interview Of Prominent
Engineer Is Feature
The October issue of the Michigan
Technic will go'on sale at 8 a.m. Tues-
day, the first issue of the 57th year!
of continuous publication, Walton
Rodger, '39E, editor, announced yes-
terday.
Headlining this month's issue will
be an article "Research" by C. G.
Kirkbride, '29E, Assistant Director of
Research of the Pan-American Oil
Co., the first of a series designed to
acquaint engineering students with
the various branches of industry. An-
other series devoted to interviewing
prominent engineers will also have its
inception in the October issue, Rodger
said. The first will be with Mr. Wil-
liam B Stout of "Stout Scarab" fame.
The Technic which was named
"Number One" engineering magazine
in the country last year, has ap-
peared continuously since 1882, is the
oldest engineering college magazine
in the country and is the oldest publi-
cation on the Michigan campus,

Government's
Spendm Peak
Seen In Spring
Most Of Work-Producing
Projects To Be Started
By The First Of January
Maximum Payroll
Will Come In April
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-44)-Fed-
eral statisticians charted a spring
peak today for the business stimula-
tion efforts of the current spending
program.,
By Jan. 1, they said, most of the
work-producing projects should be
under way and by April 1 the maxi-
mum payrolls on Federal andFed-
erally-financed projects should be at-
tained.
Not counting themulti-million dol-
lar lending activities of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp., the Govern-
ment proposes to spend $9,000,000,000
this fiscal year-the largest peace-
time budget in history ge
Actual disbursements so far since
July 1, the beginning of the fiscal
year, amounted to $2,398,511,000,
which was $906,926,000 in excess of
income. From July 1 to Oct. 6 last
year, expenditures were $2,100,553,000
and the deficit only $359,198,000. By
next June 30, the deficit for this year
is scheduled to reach $4,000,000,000.
Aside from the ordinary activities
of the Government the bulk of the
huge budget this year is going into
WPA payrolls, PWA projects and
Naval construction.
WPA, by spending $598,495,000 in
three months, has built its rolls from
2,806,000 to a record high of 3,120,036.
At this time last year, the relief rolls
were under 2,000,000 and the cost had
been only $354,703,000.
The WPA roll is expected by some
authorities to rise gradually to about
3,200,000 during the winter and slack-
en off in the spring when, they say,
the combined influence of better busi-
ness and seasonal jobs should provide
private employment for many now on
work relief.
Before WPA spending starts taper-
ing off, however, Public Works Pro-
jects should be picking up momentum.

'Mayerling' Showing
"Mayerling," the French film
version of the love story of Arch-
duke Rudolph of Austria and Ma-
rie Vetsera will be held i over at
he Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre for
a final presentation at 8:15 p.m.
tomorrow, it was announced last
night by Mitchell Raskin, '39BAd,
of the Art Cinema League.
The picture starring Charles
Boyer and Dannielle Darrieux has
already drawn a larger audience
than any other brought here in
the history of the Art Cinema
League, according to Raskin. He
said that more than 500 prospective
ticket-buyers were turned away at
the box-office Friday and Satur-
day as a result of a sell-out both
those nights.
"Mayerling" received the New
York Critics' Award as the best
foreign film of the year.

ity over women, 8,075 being registered
as against 3,291 women. The most
striking changes in figures from last
year occured in the literary college
where 217, less students than last
year, a 4.7 per cent decrease, enrolled,
and in the engineering college which
showed a 10.3 per cent gain over last
year with 192 more students regis-
tered.
2,117 Graduate Students
The figures showed 2,117 enrolled in
the Graduate School, an increase of 17
per cent over last year's figure of 1,-
809. The rost marked gain occured
in the School of Nursing where 254
enrolled to chalk up a .30.9 per cent
gain over last year's total of 194.
In comparative figures for men's
and women's enrollment, this year l
382 more men were registered for
an increase of five per cent, while 139t
more women than last year were reg-

Freshmen Will
Continue Talks
On Personality
The acquisition of desirable person-,
ality traits will be discussed by H. Y.
McClusky of the education school at
a second in a series of freshman
roundtables to be held at 4 p.m. to-
day at Lane Hall.

After his talk the group will be
divided into small discussion groups
to be led by upper classmen. This
method of discussion is followed in
order to permit every member of the
audience to present his point of view
and to facilitate informal conversa-
tion.
In his talk last week Mr. McClusky
named three undesirable personality
types; the cynical, unsmiling pseudo-
sophisticate, the bossy domineering
dictator and the non-sensitive egotist.
The sympathetic listener and the posi-
tive, appreciative types ,he stated, are
generally very well liked.
Good personality traits in them-
selves are not sufficient to insure pop-
ularity, according to Mr. McClusky,
but the manner in which they are
mingled 'is an important factor. In
his speech tomorrow, he will explain
the techniques for developing a pleas-
sing personality.

Anyone But FDR Is Consensus
Of Opinion, Reporters Discover

Editor's Note: Three times a week,
Morton L. Linder and Harry L. Sonne-
born will present thi~s cross-section of
campus opinion on topics of general
interest. Persons questioned are chosen
at random by the reporters.
THE QUESTION: Whom would you
suggest as the best possible candidate
for President in, 1940, regardless of
party?
THE PLACE: Angell Hall steps.
THE ANSWERS: Prof. Paul Cun-
cannon, political science department:
"From the men who probably will be
available in 1940, probably the best
fitted man will be Sen. Arthur A..
Vandenberg. Vandenberg's 10 years'
experience on the two most important
committees in the U. S. Senate-
Foreign Affairs and Finance-have
given him a real grasp of public prob-
lems. He is an exceptionally well-bal-
anced individual and has his feet on
the ground.
"In the event that he wins in Nov-
ember, in Pennsylvania, and he prob-
ably will, Judge Arthur H. James
will loom up as a strong contender. Of

that business men in general would
be able to have some confidence and
dependence upon future governmental
activity.
Clarence Klopsic, '41:. "Thomas
Dewey--aggressive, fearless, ambi-
tious. The remarkable job this Michi-
gan man has done in cleaning up
crime and rackets in New Yo'k proves,
I think, his ability. I have no doubt
that he would bring this same fear-
less driving force to the White House."
Rhoma Heal, '41: "I would suggest
'Pretty Boy' Paul V. McNutt. He has
a lot of experience along the line of
politics and I believe he would be
sincere in trying to do his best for
the good of the people. Incidentally,
he is from Indiana."
Jeanne Abraham, '42: "Anyone but
Roosevelt. Why not give Hoever a
chance? He did his best when he
was in office and I'm sure he could do
even better now."
Maurice Hoffman, '39: "I favor the
re-election of President Roosevelt.
