(By Associated Press)
PARIS, Dec. 1-Premier Eduoard
Daladier announced today he would
convoke Parliament next Thursday
for what promised to be a showdown
on his three-year plan of "economic
mobilization."
Scattered walkouts of workers in
sympathy with thousands of their
fellows who were discharged by priv-
ate ipdustries for joining yesterday's
abortive general strike confronted
the government with a complex new
problem.
Forces of soldiers and mobile guards
such as Daladier employed to break
the general strike movement were
dispatched to separated regions to
meet these new walkouts.
Workers Storm Plant
The. government ordered the sym-
pathy strikes and occupations to be
suppressed as firmly as was the gen-
eral strike movement-by concilia-
tion if possible or by force if neces-
sary.
Wholesale discharges caused several
hundred workers at Raismes, near
Valenciennes, to storm a metal plant
in an effort to prevent 60 retained
employes from continuing their work.
Mobile guards intervened. A brief
skirmish ensued in which one guard
was injured. Several arrests were
made and the workers soon were dis-
Michigan Will Lead Big Ten
In Student HousingNext Year
University's Three New,
Dormitories Lead Field,
Survey By Daily Reveals
By CARL PETERSEN
Michigan will take the lead among
Big-Ten universities in student hous-
ing next fall when, following an ex-
tensive building program, the percen-
tage of students housed in dormitories
will increase from 10 perA cent this
year to 25 per cent, results of a sur-
vey conducted by the Daily reveal.
This year Michigan ranks fifth in
the conference group, but will jump
to first place next year when three
dormitories accommodating roughly
1,410 men and one housing 356 wom-
en will be completed. Appropriations
totalling $2,522,250 were made by the
University this year to start the
building program which will leach a
total of at least $6,000,000 next year.
Several of the Big Ten universities
reported extensive dormitory build-
ing programs under way, but they do

OfficialsBegin A Probe
The two men cremated when their
car rammed the rear of an oil truck
and burst into flames one mile west
of Ann Arbor Wednesday night were
identified yesterday as William
Leuchter, 26 years old, 71 York Street,
Hamilton, Ontario, and Michael Mik-
oda, 22 years old, 362 Avondale Ave.,
of the same city.
The identifications were made by
Miss Julia Sigut, a cousin of Mikoda
who lived at the same address, and
Charles Shapiro, Hamilton undertak-
er. Mutilated beyond recognition, the
bodies were identified by their size
and by Miss Sigut's knowledge that
not approach in size that being un-
dertaken by the University.
For the present academic year, the
University of Chicago leads in dormi-
tory housing in the Big Ten kroup
with 15 per cent ofhthe student body
so accommodated. Northwestern is
second with 14.5 per cent, Purdue
third with 14 per cent, Ohio~State
fourth with 13 per cent, Michigan
fifth with 10 per cent, Wisconsin
sixth with 9.7 per cent, Minnesota
seventh with four per cent and Illi-
nois eighth with two per cent. No
figures were obtained from Iowa or
Indiana.
The buildings to be completed here
next year will boost the total dormi-
tory housing to approximately 2,973
students. Allowing for a proportional
increase in enrollment over this year's
figure of 11,475, the percentage figure
can be set approximately at 25.
Three men's dormitories operated
by the University at present house
450 men. They are the Law Club with
262; Allen Rumsey dormitories with
116 and Fletcher Hall with 58. Next
year the new Union addition will
provide accommodations for about
850 men; the medical dorm at Cath-
erine and Glen Streets, 150; and
the Willard Street dorm for en-
gineering, dental and medical stu-
-dents, 410. Thus, about 22 per cent
of men on campus next year will be
housed in dormitories.
At present 773 women are accom-
modated in Mosher-Jordan, Martha
Cook, Betsy Barbour, Helen New-
berry and Adelia Cheever dormitories.

Rep.Dies Called
Reaction's Tool
Patsy O'Toole Visited,
Here By Gov. Murphy
Governor Murphy came to see
Patsy (Samuel O z a d o w s k y)
O'Toole yesterday and cheer him
on to recovery. Things would have
been more natural, however, if
the positions had been reversed,
for Patsy is the most famous
cheerer in these parts. He once
cheered so loud, in fact, that
President Roosevelt had him
moved to another part of the ball-
park.
The Detroit Tigers figured out
a year or so ago that Patsy, now
critically ill in University hospital,
won them as many games as
"Schoolboy" Rowe by heckling
opposing nines.
Yesterday's visit was brief.
"I came down to see what I could
do for Patsy, Governor Murphy
said. "He's been a devoted friend1
of mine for many years."
After the visit Governor Murphy
underwent a routine physical
check-up.

In northern France alone, 20,000
metal workers, 4,000 miners and 4,000
mine railway workers had been dis-
charged for answering organized
labor's call for a 24-hour strike ofI
protest against Daladier's decree laws.
An informed but unofficial source
close to the Ministry of Interior set
the total number of dismissals
throughout France at "not more than
70,000," of whom some already have{
been rehired.
Labor leaders warned 'grimly thati
serious developments might be ex-,
pected if punitive measures continued.
Through its newspapers Le Popu-
laire, the Socialist Party said 1,500,000
workers had been fired or locked out
throughout France, including 100,000
in the Paris region.
News of - the sympathy strikes
reached Daladier while he was in con-
ference with top-ranking ministers to
decide what penalties should be im-
posed on public employes who joined
the strike movement.
Suspended Without Pay
Later the Premier's office an-
nounced that leaders of the strike
movement in the public services-
particularly those who passed the
General Confederation of Labor call
on to their unions-would be dis-
charged immediately.
All -other public employes who
struck were suspended without pay
until the various ministries under
which they worked had time to pass
on the merits of each case.
Industrial sources said the recur-
rent strike movement, consisting
mostly of sympathy strikes, lacked
general momentum.
They said the temporary closing
of many factories threw many work-
ers out of employment, but added that
rehiring had started only today and
had not progressed sufficiently

of the car to carry the heavy load.
The alcohol, which sells for $6 a gal-

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 1-()-
Speeding through a snow storm, a
freight train demolished a suburban
high school bus near here today, kill-
ing at least -a score of children and
the bus driver.
Twenty-one bodies were brought to;
the Salt Lake General Hospital, pos-
sibly five mangled remains were be-
lieved at mortuaries near the scene,,
and four or five of the 12 children in-
jured critically may die.
The accident was one of the worst
of its kind in the nation's history.
Many Pupils Absent{
Sixty-one pupils from the, school
district served by the buts were absent
from Jordan High School. School offi-
cials said some may have remained at
home because of the storm. Most esti-
mates were that the bus carried about
40 passengers, ranging in age from
12 to 16 years.
Hospitals and morgues were crowd-
ed. The complete list of victims, hos-
pital authorities said, can not be as-
certained until relatives have reported
missing children and school rolls halve
been checked.
The mangled condition of the
bodies made identification in many
cases almost impossible. Driver Far-
rold Silcox, 28, was believed to have
been the only adult on the bus.
Crash Near Midvale
The disaster occurred at 8:56 a.,
M.ST., near suburban Midvale 10
miles south of here, as the bus was
en route to Jordan High School.
E. L. Rehmer, engineer of "The
Flying Ute," fastest freight train of
the Denver and Rio Grande Western
RaIlroad, told Sheriff S. Grant Young
the train was running almost two
hours late because of the storm. It
was due here from Denver at 7 a.m.
Rehmer said he was on the right
side of the cab and did not see the
bus, coming from the left, but fire-
man Alfred Elton screamed for him
to stop.
"Useful channels for Christmas en-
thusiasm" has been taken as the
theme of the third annual Goodfel-
low Drive, the preliminaries of which
get under way Sunday when an ex-
ecutive committee of campus leaders .
convene to fix details for the 10-
hour canvas Dec. 10.
Goodfellow Day, initiated three
years ago by a group of undergrad-
uate leaders in response to demands
for a coordinated campus welfare
movement, now flourishes as an
established Michigan Christmas ,tra-
dition-a tradition of purpose and
salutary accomplishment which has
since its inception exalted the Yule-
tide spirit for countless underpriv-
eleged families, students and hospital
patients.
Drive Averages $1,200
Annual sums collected by Goodfel-
lows peddling special editions of the
Daily have averaged more than $1,-
200 in the past three years, almost
every penny of which has been poured
into the coffers of local welfare agen-
cies.
The funds, this year will be divided
this way:
1. The Social Service Department
of the University Hospital will receiv
$150 to purchase toys, pictures, addi-
tional work shop facilities and books
for needy patients.
2. Twenty-five per cent of the re-
maining sum will go to the Deans'
Discretionary Fund.
Funds To Bureau
The rest will be sent to the local
Family Welfare Bureau earmarked
for purchase of Christmas baset
and clothes for Ann Arbor families
and for year-round work of the Bu-
reau.
Goodfellows will again pick up
clothing and toys volunteered by per-
sons calling the Go6dfellow Editor at
the Daily 2-3241.
The Michigan Daily Goodfellow
Award, a loving cup, is to be present-
ed to the student organization show-
ing the most cooperative spirit, in the
judgment of a special committee.
Engineers Call
For Petitioners
Eight Council Posts Open,
Two For Each Class
A call for petitions for the eight
posts of Engineering Council Repre-
sentatives, was issued last night by
Wesley Warren, '39E, president.
Two representatives will be elected
from each class, and these men will
serve as sole delegates of their classes
to the Council, Warren explained.
Applicants should submit petitions,
with 15 signatures of engineers in
their respective classes and with lists
of qualifications, to Dean Henry C.
Anderson's office by Wednesday,
Dec. 7.
Prospective candidates will be in-
terviewed by the Engineering Council
Wednesday evening, and the official
slate will be announced in the Daily
Tuesday, Dec. 13, the day of the
election.
At the same time, Warrren an-
nounced that the annual Engineering
Ball would be held the night of Jan.
.13, 1939. A band has not yet been
chosen, but the "tops in swing bands"
is being sought, he said.
Candidates for the senior class office
election which is being conducted now
by Men's Council, will also be con-
sidered at the meeting of the Engi-
neering Council at its Wednesday
meeting.
Inaugurating an extensive drive for
members being undertaken by the
Progressive Club, local chapter of the
American Student Union, a meeting
of all interested students was held
last night at the Union at which the
work and aims of the organization
were discussed by student speakers.
The uniting of liberal student opin-
ion throughout the country is the
primary purpose of the American
Student Union, stated Morris Lichten-
stein, '39. The ASU has 20,000 mem-
bers on 200 college and high school
campuses, he added, which are bound
together on a common program of
peace, racial and social equality,
academic freedom, and civil liberties.
In a discussion following Lichten-
stein's talk, work of the Progressive
Club in sponsoring the Czechoslovak-
ian rally, in investigating co-opera-
tives and the campus labor problem,
and circulating petitions protesting
the recent Nazi outrages against Ger-
man Jews was emphasized. It was
pointed out that the ASU is not a
radical organization, but has a broad
enough program to include varying
shades of progressive opinion.
In connection with the membership
drive, fraternities, dormitories and
various campus organizations will be
canvassed.
SRA To Participate
Economic Council Should Observe
National Trends, Committee Says
Martin Minimizes
Of Communists In
Power
Union
(Editor's Note: This is the second in 1
a series of articles dealing with the pro-
posal to form a National Economic
Council to investigate and make sug-
gestions for a long-range planning of
our national life.)
By JACK SULLIVAN
The functions of the proposed Na-
tional Economic Council should be in
harmony with its purpose of making
studies and investigations and' in-
tegrating them into a plan for ad-
vising and aiding Congress and other
governmental offices, according to the
report of the Senate Committee in-
vestigating the desirability of estab-
lishing such a council.
"In function the Council should be
designed," says the Committee re-
port, "to keep our national problems
and trends, especially the more im-
portant ones, under an observation
continuous in character and broad
enough, well coordinated enough, and
generally well informed enough to be
quick and penetrating in discern-
tional life. A reasonably accurate
diagnosis of the complex causes of
these problems is the first step, thef
Senate Committee report points out,
in prescribing a remedy. At present
we do not have adequate machinery
for making such an analysis in anl
impartial manner, and this need the
Council would fill.
With an eye to the future, the Sen-
ate Committee suggests that the pro-
posed Council would "help us clarify
and develop more satisfactory prin-
ciples as a base for public policy."
Believing that the "bewildering as-
pects of our time" can be traced to
the failure of our social and economic
institutions to keep pace with the
development"of science and industry,
the Committee would have the Coun-
cil endeavor to keep the development
of political principles and institu-
tions abreast with progress in indus-
try. "Our failure to develop such
principles," says the Committee re-
port. "is due in nart to the fact that
WASHINGTON, bec. 1.-Homer
Martin, president of the United Au-
tomobile Workers, appearing reluc-
tantly before the House Committee
on un-American Activities, called the
group a "political tool in the hands of
reactionary" interests and testified
that the number of Communists seek-
ing control of the American labor
movement had been overemphasized.
On what he called reliaJle author-
tiy,' Martin charged Judge Paul V.
Gadola of Flint, who had criticized
Governor' Murphy's handling of the
sit-down strikes, with participating
in meetings called to raise money foi
Italy's conquest of Ethiopia. Gadola
last night denied this.
Communists, like Nazis and Fas-
cists, try to place their men in key
positions in labor unions, he said,
adding that they did not discrimin-
ate between the AFL and theCrIO.
