THE MICHIGAN DAILY Alumni Collect Gayley Papers For Archives Collection For Univesrity Will Be 10-Year Project Of San Francisco Club1 To collect all the papers, writings and memoranda of the late Prof. Charles Mills Gayley, '78, LL.D. (Hon.) '04, author of "The Yellow and Blue," and to place them in Ann Arbor is the plan announced by the University of Michigan Club of East San Francisco Bay as its Michigan Alumni Ten-Year Program objective. Peace On Earth? HeadlinesTell Story City May Alter Street Names Financial Stability Of Pension Plan In City Is Important Issue Cooley, Angell For University Suggested Avenues Professor Gayley was a member of Michigan's faculty until 1889 and was ranked as Assistant Professor of English and Rhetoric when he left Ann Arbor to join the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley. He wrote a hymn for that univer- sity also and after a prominent career as a teacher and scholar died a little more than six years ago. After work is completed on the project, inrCalifornia, the "Gayley- ana" will be sent on to Ann Arbor and probably placed in the Michigan Historical Collections, the official archives of the University. It may be placed on exhibit from time to time. Michigan Alumni are hoping that such documents as the original manu- scrifts of "The Yellow and Blue," "Laudes Atque Carmina," and "God- dess of the Inland Sea," will be dis- covered. Professor Gayley wrote the lyrics for all of these Michigan songs. Besides the Gayley collection, two similar projects are being worked on t i Peace men dreamed of on Nov. 11, 1918, when armistice ended the great war proved just that-a dream, and of all ensuing years, 1938 brought the gravest threat of a world-wide conflict. Far from peaceful are these recent headlines. In order to lessen confusion and to perpetuate the name of two of the, University's most famous figures, aj recommendation to rename E. Univer- sity and S. University avenues will be presented to the city council at its regular meeting, 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 7, by the street com- mittee. Cooley will be proposed for the new name of S. University and Angell for E. University. The late Thomas McIntyre Cooley, whose name will be substituted for S. University Ave., under the proposed plan was a member of the University's first law faculty, and served more than 20 years on the Michigan Su- preme Court. He was also the first chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Angell Ave. would honor the name of James Burrill Angell, president of the University from 1871 to 1909, who is recognized as one of the great edu- cational leaders of the past century. He was once minister to China, min- ister to Turkey and a member of the United States commission on deep waterways. Confusion has resulted from the fact that E. University Ave. runs north and south, while S. University and N. University run east and west. When these names were first suggest- ed, they served as boundaries of the original campus, but now they are Firemen And Policemen Waive Disability Clause To Assure Solvency (This is the second of a series of articles dealing with the proposed pension and retirement plan to be voted upon in Ann Arbor Nov. 8.) By MILTON ORSHEFSKY The questionswhich has caused the Imost controversy over the proposed pension and retirement plan for Ann Arbor policemen and ' firemen is whether or not the scheme is finan- cially sound. Can the fund to be set up make payments to eligible bene- ficiaries, and, at the same time, main- tain solvency? Critics of the bill have argued that according to the provisions as they stand now, no system of pensions and retirements could possibly be estab- lished that would be financially sound. They cite Section 6 of the bill which states that payments shall be made to policemen and firemen dis- abled either from natural causes or policemen signed waivers on the dis- ability and life insurance benefits of the pension plan. By their agreement, the members of the departments waived their right to insurance benefits in case of dis- ability or death from natural causes or from causes not originating in an act of duty prior to retirement.

Members of the Club, familiar with forestry and con- servation work are sending to the campus a collection of pathology and dendrology specimens at the request of Dean Samuel T. Dana, of the School of Forestry and Conservation. Considerable work has also been done in furnishing material to the Trans- portation Library on the early history and life of David Matthews, pioneer railroad man and designer of the De- Witt Clinton locomotive and data on the San Francisco-Oakland Bridge. This was done by Clarence W. Whit- ney, '99E, Director of the Alumni As- sociation representing the Eighth District. Aiton Describes War Measures Tells Of Precaution Taken During Sudeten Crisis (Continued from Page 1) made the situation there unusually critical. It is not probable that Ger- many could long have sustained a World War. A number of important victories would undoubtedly be re- corded in the first stages of war, he claimed, but the slow moving but per- sistent democracies could not fail to overwhelm the Nazis in the long run. London and Paris would be terribly battered early in the war. It is questionable, he stated, as to whether the Allies could cope with Der Fuehrer as successfully now as they could during the Sudeten trouble. Now he has an outlet to the east where he can obtain supplies. The hectic suing for peace indulged by Chamberlain and Daladier were prompted, he observed, by the unpre- paredness of both France and Eng- land for war and the uncertainty of the degree of assistance to be forthcoming from Russia in the East. Besides just a few days before the German ultimatum the great shipping strike in Marseille had forced France's mobilization of troops before a settlement could be made. It took the threat of international catastro- phe to bring about a united France. As to a prediction on further devel- opments in Europe, Professor Aiton said, "Only time will tell, but it is a certainty that Hitler is not to be rusted. Already he has extended the Sudeten boundary 20 miles deeper into Czechoslovakia than was agreed at Munich. He will probably absorb the Skoda gun works next and be more strongly entrenched than ever." Professor Aiton is on Sabbatical leave from the University and is en route for Texas where he will be occupied until his return here at the beginning of the second semester in February. Auditions Sunday For Amateur Hour Two Sunday'night auditions will be held before the first University ama- teur broadcast, announced Ted Grace, '39, yesterday.

The remainder of the broadcasts will be on Thursday afternoons. Threenbroadcasting students are assisting Grace in directing the ven- ture. They are.Stephen J. Filipiak,' 139; FrankR. Morgan, '39 and My- ron L. Wallace, '39. of the political science department, has been fought almost solely on the one issue of the New Deal, and will be watched by political observers as a barometer of New Deal strength. Judge Arthur H. James, the Re- publican nominee for the governor- ship, has said that he is "against the New Deal, hook, line and sinker." He has indicated, according to Profes- sor Cuncarinon, that he takes the viewpoint of business and stands for reviving Pennsylvania industry and stopping the migration of manufac- turing to the south which has been so prevelent during Earle's tenure. "The Democrats have pit up bill- boards all over the state in the last two weeks on which the name of not one of the candidates for office ap- pears," Professor Cuncannon said. "There is simply a picture of Presi- dent Roosevelt and the legend 'Keep Pennsylvania Liberal.' " "Four years ago the Democrats were accused of riding to power on President .Roosevelt's coat-tails. That charge is," Professor Cuncannon be- lieves, "still valid judging from the campaigning of this year." Back of the Democratic candidate for governor, Charles Alvin Jones, a scholarly Pittsburgh lawyer, is the Democratic machine of 31,500 office holders at Harrisburg and the hoard of federal employes under Boss Guf- fey. Even the PWA workers are drawn into the political arena, says Pro- fessor Cuncannon, and the state em- ployes are required to contribute two per cent of their salary, if it is less' than $1,200, to the campaign fund' and five per cent if more than $1,200. "Judge James is fighting the great- est machine ever conceived in Penn- sylvania," said Professor Cuncannon, "one that makes Vare and Boies Pen-+ rose look like pikers." Judge James is 55 years old and has worked his way up from breaker boy in the coal mines to Lieutenant+ Governor of the state and his present position of Justice of the SuperiorI Court. He is a graduate of the Dick- i inson Law School at Carlisle, Pa., as is his opponent, Charles Alvin Jones. Of Judge James, Jack Xelly, Demo- cratic boss of Philadelphia said, "he is a foeMan worthy of my steel." According to Professor Cuncannon, "Judge James has completely can- vassed thestate, speaking in xll the outlying districts and meeting the local leaders in every section. He is a vigorous campaigner, strong char- acter and has made a magnificent fight." The political strength of Judge' James lies in Philadelphia and the four surrounding suburban counties and in the purely agricultural coun- ties. He is weak, according to Profes- sor Cuncannon, in Pittsburgh and in the coal mining districts where John Lewis and his Mine Worker's Union have beehi lining up the vote for the Democrats. "Earle has an edge in the Senate race over Sen. James J. Davis, the incumbent," Professor Cuncannon indicated, "although he has been in- jured perhaps to some extent by the judicial and legislative investigations of his administration. "Unless there should be a James sweep, which hardly seems likely, Earle probably will be elected to the Senate. He is a. good campaigner and has the active support of the labor groups."~ "Should Judge James carry the state Tuesday," Professor Cuncannon pointed out, "he will loom as an im- portant figure in the Republican Na- tional convention in 1940 and be a possibility for the presidential nomin- ation." , leading to confusion in the newcomers. The street committee has posed to retain University N. University Ave. minds of also pro- Ave. for It is this "natural causes" clause that has drawn the fire of critics. According to one of them this means an insurance coverage for policemen and firemen far beyond what a priv- ate individual can hope to secure. Most insurance companies pay dis- ability benefits in one lump sum, or in an annuity for five years. This provision, on the other hand, c.lls for an annuity up to half the fire-j man's or policeman's salary for life if the disability is caused by any accident not in the line of duty. If such benefits were to be paid for disability by insur nce companies, the cost to the individual would be at least $400, according to this critic. Yet, policemen and firemen are pay- ing considerably less than that (three per cent of their yearly salary), and the city is making good on the rest. Such a condition would place a tre- mendous drain upon the fund's re- sources, and might render it insolvent. Then, too, not only would the men be covered for disability# by this bill, but they would also be receiving dis- ability benefits under the Michigan Workmen's Compensation law. This "double-payment"shas been severely attacked by non-supporters of the bill.
