Nazi Code
Letters
Found On Luggage
Now Identified
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-(A')-Leon
Q. T'urrou, former FBI slueth, today
identified coded letters he said he
found in the luggage of Fraulein
Johanna ("Jenni") l))fmann, 26,
red-headed spy trial defendant, al-
legedly containing instructions from
a German espionage ring's "contact
man to agents in New York.
One message was addressed to
Guenther Gustav Rumrich, 32 years
old, therU.S. Army deserter who be-
came a bungling Nazi spy, and stated
that Fraulein Hofmann had $70 for
him as payment for the supposedly
secret "Z Code" of the U.S. Army
Air Force.
iRumrich has testified he obtained
the "Z code" from another defen-
'dant, Erich Glaser, 28 years old, a
U.S. Army private formerly stationed
at Mitchel Field, Long Island, base
of the Eastern Air Force.
The letter instructed Rumrich that
the man who provided the code was to
be paid $40. In his own testimony,
Rumrich said he paid Glaser only $5
for helping him in his plots to steal
American military secrets.

Chamberlain
Helps Hitler
To Aid Peace
Seeks Arms Limitations
By Agreement; Spurns
Unilateral System
Outlines His Plans
For Home Defense
LONDON, Nov. 1-UP)-Prime Min-
ister Chamberlain held out his hand
anew tonight to Adolf Hitler in be-
half of economic peace and a curb on
armaments.
Interpreting to a critical House of
Commons his course "after Munich,"
the Prime Minister also sought quick
Parliamentary approval of his deci-
sion to bring the Easter friendship
pact with Premier Mussolini into
force. He gave Commons one day to
debate and decide.
Turning his back on any new arm-
ament race with the Reich. Chamber-
lain said:
Wants Arms Limit
"What we are aiming at is: first, a
limitation of armaments by agree-
ment, because unilateral disarma-
ment will help nobody; and in the
end, their practical abolishment. That
is looking very far ahead. I shall not
see it, but I do not see why I should
not see the first stages of it if we
pursue a consistent policy."
Chamberlain outlined hisvplans to
hiarness Great Britain's voluntary
civilian effort and to build strong air-
raid defenses under the guiding hand
of Sir John Anderson, newly added
to the cabinet as Lord Privy Seal and
Minister for Civilian Defense.
But he opposed compulsion either
for the mobilization of men or indus-
try "until we have done everything
we can on voluntary lines."
Replys To Germany
Chamberlain replied to German
and Italian suspicions of Britain's
determination to rebuild her defenses
with a disavowal of any aggressive in-
tentions or any desire to enter a new
armaments race.
Referring to the "no more war"
declaration he and Hitler signed at
Munich Chamberlain said "in that
declaration, if it is properly followed
up, lies the chance for a new era of
peace in Europe."

Statements About P W A
Made By Congressman
Provoke Secretary
WASHINGTON,
Nov. 1-I}
Secretary Ickes accused Representa-
tive Dies (Dem., Texas) today of tell-
ing "half-truths" about PWA's failure
to approye two projects in his dis-
trict and suggested that the Congress-
man stick to his "witch-hunt" in the'
future.
Dies replied immediately to the
charge of "half-truths" with a state-
ment that "few people who know the
Secretary would give him that high a
score."
The Texan said yesterday that a'
$12,000,000 dam project at Rockland,1
Texas, had been cancelled and a
$335,000 grant for a causeway at Port
Arthur, Texas, rescinded since the1
House Committee of which he is1
chairman began its investigation of
urAmerican activities..
While the committee has been criti-
cized by President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Ickes and 1other administration
officials, Dies said he was not pre-
pared to charge that the cancella-
tions were the result of this disap-
proval.
In a statement, Ickes asserted, that
Dies' remarks "contained unmistak-
able implications" that the projects
had been cancelled because of "some
mysterious pressure."
He then denied that the Rockland
project had been rejected.

Hull Warns U.S.
Of Armed Force
Speech At Trade Meeting
Warns Of Catastrophe
NEW YORK, Nov. 1-(P)-Cordell
Hull, Secretary of State, declared to-
night that the world "is at a cross
roads," but has not lost its "power
of choice" between rule by armed
force and rule by law.
He warned the nations that, if they
place "increased reliance upon armed
force as an instrument of national
policy they will be marching toward
the final catastrophe of a new world
war, the horror and destructiveness
of which pass human imagination."
Speaking at the world trade dinner
of the twenty-fifth National Foreign
Trade Convention, Secretary Hull
said nothing had happened in recent
weeks-meaning the "Peace of Mun-
ich"-to cause him to abandon his
trade-agreements program. On the
contrary, he declared he would "put
redoubled vigor into our efforts to
enlarge its scope and effectiveness."
Post-allowe'en Bat
Interrupts Rehearsal
A black, black bat last night thor-
oughly disconcerted a Play Produc-
tion group burning the midnight oil
as they rehearsed "Counselor-at-
Law" at the Laboratory Theatre.
Taking the situation and 'i Flit gun
quickly in hand Myron Wallace, '39,
rushed forward to do battle with the
monster, estimated by the saner ama-
teur actors to have had a nine inch
wing spread. The Flit didn't work
very well, and the group finally gave
up and went back to work as the bat
settled on a rafter.
The actors have had little experi-
ence with bats, they said, but every-
thing else from rats to termites are
familiar sights at the old Laboratory
theatre.
Regent Lynch
Debates Brand
On Court Plan
Appointment Of Justices
Is Subject Of Argument
To Be Held In Union
Regent John D. Lynch and George
S. Brand, president of the Michigan
Bar Association, will debate the pro-
posed amendment to the State Con-'
stitution providing for the appoint-
ment of justices to the Supreme
Court bench at 7:30 p.m. today in the
North Lounge of the Union. ,
Regent Lynch will present the
negative case in behalf of the De-
troit chapter of the National Lawyers
Guild, a newly-formed liberal organi-
zation which includes in its member-
ships such men as Gov. Phillip La-
Follette of Wisconsin, Sen. Smith W.
Brookhart of Iowa and Gov. Elmer
Benson of Minnesota.
George Brand will defend the pro-
posal which is sponsored by the State
Bar Association. He has spent the
past few weeks campaigning for the
measure throughout the state.
The first serious demands for an.
appointive judiciary in Michigan were'
voiced early in 1933. After several
bills proposing such an amendment
to the state constitution had either
died incommittee or were acted upon
unfavorably by the legislature, the
proposal finally went on the ballot
through use of the initiatory petition.
Those favoring the bill emphasize
that it will take the Supreme Court
judiciary out of politics and free it
fro political pressure. Its opponents
claim that the amendment ,would
simply remove the responsibility for
the judiciary from the people to a'
commission controlled by lawyers.
They say it would substitute one
form of politics for another with the
additional disadvantage of abridging
the democratic process.
Riggs To Address

American Society of Civil Engineers

France Makes
Cabinet Shift
To Halt Brief
Ministry Split
Entire Adjustment Made
In Secret Conference;
Economic Lift Is Sought
Paul Renaud Gets
FinanceMinistry
PARIS, Nov. 1-(P)--Premier Edo-
uard Daladier tonight hastily patched
ip his cabinet after a short-lived
crisis and his new Finance Minister
started another search for the way
to French financial and economic
recovery.
The resignation of Paul Marchan-
deau as Finance Minister because the
rest of the cabinet refused to accept
his program of reforms split the
ministry momentarily.
Daladier, however, persuaded Mar-
chandeau to stay in the Government
as 'Minister of Justice, exchanging
posts with Paul Reynaud.
Proposed Exchange Control
The press indicated that among
Marchandeau's severe proposals, now
shelved, were virtual exchange con-
trol, an extraordinary income tax-
and a special levy on stock earnings
The shift of Reynaud to succeed
Marchandeau brought to the Finance
post a moderate, middle-of-the-road
man, Finance Minister in the Tar-
dieu cabinet of 1930 and known in
1934 as a foremost advocate and fore-
caster of devaluation of the franc.
When the People's Front Govern-
ment of Leon Blum finally devalued
the currency in 1936 Reynaud said
it "came too late."
He was one of the cabinet group
reported flatly opposed to the drastic
measures advanced by Marchandeau
and in favor of a policy in line with
the 1936 monetary accord of France,
Britain and the United States.
Readjustment Secret
The entire cabinet readjustment
was effected behind closed doors at
the War Ministry. A brief commun-
ique after the change had been made
was the first official indication there
had been a crisis.
The slender, businesslike Reynaud
let it be known immediately that he
had scrapped all previous plans for
use of the Government's decree pow-
ers in the rebuilding of French econ-
omy and was starting again from the
bottom.
"My first task will be to establish
a balance sheet for the financial and
economic situation of France," he
said after the cabinet meeting.
"For that task I ask five days. Acts
will follow.
"There was a time when the ques-
tion of devaluation was posed because
prices were too high in relation to
foreign'prices," Reynaud said, refer-
ring to his 1930 campaign.
"At that moment I did not fear to
tell aloud all the truth."
Court Change
Hit By Pollock
Appointment By Judiciary
Committee Condemned
Condemning the amendment for
selecting supreme court judges by a
judiciary committee to be dominated
by lawyers, as a half-way measure
which would obstruct the adoption of
a thorough improvement, Prof.
James K. Pollock, of the political de-
partment, last night announced his
opposition to the bill, at a meeting
of the American Association of
University Women.
The amendment, which provides for
a judiciary commission of nine men,
six to be lawyers, will come before
Michigan voters at the Nov. 8 elec-
tions.
Professor Pollock based his objec-
tions on four premises. First, it is
limited only to the supreme court, he
said. Secondly, he distrusts any ap-
pointments a judiciary committee
dominated by lawyers would make.
Thirdly, the plan would divide the
responsibility for judicial appoint-
ments, and in addition eliminates
popular control of appointments.

Dorr Says Irrelevant Charges
Are Obscuring Election Issues
By JACK SULLIVAN
The major issues of Michigan's
hotly contested gubernatorial cam-
paign have been obscured by the
charges of boss rule and Communism,
on which the campaign has chiefly
been fought, Prof. Harold M. Dorr
of the political science department
said yesterday.
The real issues, as seen by Profes-
sor Dorr, are: (1) the question of
good government, (2- the cost of gov-
ernment and (3) the question of
lawlessness and labor disturbance. It
is these questions which must be de-
cided by the electorate next Tues-
day.
Both parties favor the Civil Serv-
t'rp Aet' ' and wtraf a v- ,'r,ana'.ni 4 t'
Dorr, "both men showed equal prom-
ise, however, Mr. Fitzgerald has since
attacked the Welfare reorganization,
declaring the referendum on it should
be defeated. He has also opposed the
present Civil Service Administration,
though he still says he favors the
principle."
The charge of Communism often
hurled at Murphy, or at least of con-
doning them and accepting their sup-
port is answered with flat denials
from the Democratic camp.
The results of these strenuous weeks
of campaigning will be largely deter-
mined by the balloting in Wayne
County. Figures for the 1936 election
show ,etroit and Wayne county con-
stituted the Democratic stronghold,
