complished artist of the highest type
a commanding musical figure of
our time."

net at the age of eight under Robert
A. Coon. Since that time he has
studied under Ernest S. Williams,
Pierre Henrotte, and M. L. Lake. He
played his first solo on the radio at
the age of twelve.

Dean Rea Warns Students
Of Added Regulations ;

A warning that requirements of the

rigidly interpreted was issued yester-
day by Assistant Dean Walter B. Rea.
A new rule has been added this year

ing of instructor to qualify for ex-
emption from the ban, he said.
Emphasis is to be laid upon thesec-
tion requiring the registration of'
stored cars at the Dean's office, Dean
Rea declared. Permit tags for stu-
dents whose applications have been
accepted are now available.
Dean Rea pointed out that viola-
tibns are not excused on the basis of
misunderstanding.
The code of rules as formulated by
the University follows:
No student in attendance at the Uni
versity from and after the beginning
of the first semester of the University
year 1927-28 shall operate any motor
vehicle. In exceptional and extraordi-
nary cases at the discretion of the
Dean of Students this rule may be
relaxed. The Automobile Regulation
became effective at 8:00 a. m. Mon-
day, September 26, and all regularly
enrolled students are requested to

Lindy Silent On
SovietCharge
Appeared At Aerial Meet
In Berlin Yesterday
BERLIN, Oct. 11-(1)--Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh, silent on bitter charges
made against him by a group of
prominent Soviet Russian aviators,
arrived today by plane to attend the
annual meeting of the Lilienthal So-
ciety for Aerial Research.
The American Airman declined to
comment on the Soviet fliers' accusa-
tion that he belittled the Russian air-
force and thus encouraged Anglo-
French capitulation to Adolf Hitler's
demands for Czechoslovak territory.
The 11 Russian airmen charged
that Lindbergh stated before guests
of Lady Astor, member of the British
House of Commons, that the Soviet

Czech Border
Is Violated By'
Magyar Force
Sudetenland Problems Are
Wrestled By Prague's
Governmental Staff
PRAGUE, Oct. 11-(A)-Hungarianj
troops today completed symbolic oc-
cupations of two former Czechoslo-
vak border towns-Ipolysag and Sa-
toralja Uphely-pending settlement
of Hungary's territorial and minority
demands.
The Prague government, mean-
while, wrestled with problems arising
for German occupation of Sudeten-
land, particularly the presence in.
Czechoslovakia of 10,000 refugees
from Sudetenland.
The Bohemian Provincial Govern-
ment appointed a committee of 10
former residents of Sudetenland to
investigate registration lists and de-
termine which refugees could be sent
back home without personal danger.
The registration of refugees pro-'
ceeded under the orders of Bohemian
Provincial President Karl Sabotka
while the National Government's.
plans for return of many refugees
were held in abeyance.
More than 4,000 residents of Ipoly-
sag, near the border 50 miles north
of Budapest, sang and danced to
fiery Hungarian music as the Hun-
garian tropps took over at 1:20 p.m.
today.
Offer By CIO Chieftain
Rouses Anger Of AFL
President And Leaders
UAW Head Speaks
With Harry Bennett
(By Associated Press)
John L. Lewis dramatically offered
yesterday to step down from the
chairmanship of the CIO-provided
his arch enemy, William Green, would
resign from the AFL presidency. But
hopes for peace between labor's
struggling factions disappeared when
Green angrily answered "It is obvious
that even if Lewis resigned as CIO
chairman he would still remain its
dictator."
Meanwhile, beliefs that another
chapter in the battle between indus-
try and labor would reach a happier
end were aroused when Henry Ford
briefly conferred with UAW-Pres-
dent Homer Martin.
The Lewis offer, made today at a
press conference, seemed to have in-
creased the bitterness which A. F. of
L. leaders feel toward him.
"I doubt his sincerity," was the
terse comment of Arthur 0. Whar-
ton, an A. F. L. vice president.
Whitney Sees Peace
However, A. F. Whitney, who, as
president of the Independent Broth-
erhood of Railroad Trainmen, i* a
non-combatant in labor's civil war,
predicted the war would end within
a year because the "interest of labor
and the public" demand it.
In connection with Lewis' state-
ment, it was recalled here that he is
President of the United Mine Workers,
a powerful union in the CIO. Even if
he resigned from the Chairmanship
of the CIO, he might still have great
influence in it through his miners
union
If there was anything of a "tongue-
in-cheek" nature about his offer, I
was not apparent, however, in hIs
manner when he made it to news-
men he had called to his office.
Green, whose future as ead of the
Federation rests with the organiza-
tion's 5,000,000 members when as an
unopposed candidate, he goes up for
re-election Friday, termed Lewis' of-
fer "an attempted fraud on the pub-
lic." "The Chairman of the C.I.O. as
everyone knows, is the dictator of
the C.I.O. He has not once even con-
sulted the membership of the C.I.O.
during his regime.
Offers To Resign
"Now he offers to resign if I will.
"Well, the World Series is over, but
the chairman of the C.I.O. is still
making grandstand plays. To anyone
familiar with the labor situation, it
is obvious that even if he resigned
as Chairman of the C.I.O. he would
still remain its dictator behind the
scenes. Because he would remain as
President and dictator of the United
Mine Workers of America, the union
which is the financial angel of the
C.LO. and whose funds are being wan-
tonly wasted in a vain effort to keep
the C.O. alive."
Labor problems were not discussed,
when Ford and Martin met, but af-
terwards Martin lunched and talked
with Harry Bennett, Ford personnel
director, about the Union's attempt to
obtain a 32-hour work week in the
automotive industry during periods of
re-employment.
At the same time other leaders of
the United Automobile Workers were
discussing the shortened week with
officials of the industry's "big three."
No conclusions were reached in any
of the conversations.
Controversy Over Pulchritude
Rages On Main Library Steps
Three times a week Morton L. Linder
and Harry L. Sonneborn will present
this cross-section of campus opinion on
topics of general interest. Persons ques-
tioned are chosen at random by the
reporters.
THE QUESTION:
What is your comment on the
egend, "Four out of five women are
beautiful, and the fifth one comes to
Mithigan?"
THE PLACE:
Steps of the Main Library.
The Answers:
Dorothy Primeau, '40: "I don't
think it's true. There are lots of good-
looking girls on this
campus, just gobs of
them. The main
reason people say
things like t h a t
about the girls is
probably that every
one has a different
opinion of what
good looks are. The
main thing that
makes a few of the
girls so popular here is the clothes
they wear. There are a lot of others
just as good-looking who don't have
the clothes."
An Unidentified Canine: "Woof?!"
(Ed. Note. The dog, obviously soured
on all females, was
not pressed for an
additional s t a t e-
ment. It was felt
by the reporters
that because of his
bias, whatever else ,
he might have to,
say on the subject
would be prejudiced
and thus not suit-
able for this col- ,
umn. Then, too, we were not sure
that he was a student. Besides, we
were not sure he was a he.)
W. R. Willis, '39:
"The statement, I
believe, is probably
true in four out of
five cases. I have
been here quite
some time and have
managed to find
only a few beautiful
women. Of course,
the Summer Ses-
sion is excepted."
James T. Morgan, '39: "The
legend is not true,
I believe that there
