PARIS, Dec. 10-(Saturday)-)(A)
-The Chamber of Deputies today
voted confidence in Premier Edouard
Daladier by 315 to 241, approving his
decree laws and the methods he used
to end the General Strike.
The vote came after an uproarious
session in which the Premier had
sought Parliamentary support for a
stiff stand against Italian colonial
expansion at French expense.
By the vote the Premier obtained
thie Chamber's approval of his meth-
ods of governing France, which many
of his enemies had called dictatorial.
Whether Rightists on whom he re-
lied for support in the early morn-
ing vote, would back the Preniq
when he asks for decree powers to
continue his "strong man" govern-
ment remained a question.
Heiot In Huff
There was little doubt, however.
that Daladier had gone far in this
first vote, In which the Socialists and
Communists stood solidly against'him.
Twice during the debate Edouard
Herriot, president of the Chamber,
put on his hat ceremoniously and
stalked out, thereby suspending the
session.
Frequently, while Herriot furiously
rang his bell and banged the rostrum
for order, Leftist and Rightist Depu-
ties stood before him screaming in-
sults at each other.
The vote was accepted in the
Chamber as marking the official
death of the Leftist People's Front
which ruled France under the Leon
Blum government until Daladier took
office last April 10.
Swing To Right
The Premier cleary had swung
his government as well as his own
Radical- Socialist Party-a former
member of the People's Front with
Socialists and Communists-into the
Rightist ranks. .
"It is only when a country is strong
that it can rise to prevent anyone
touching its territory," the Premier
told the Chamber of Deputies.
This was a warning to legislators
that France must be strong at home
to defend her colonial empire suc-
cessfully - a warning delivered
against the background of an insist-
ent but unofficial Italian clamor
for Tunisia and other French hold-
ings.
Group meetings of Deputies after
the Premier's half-hour defense of.
his domestic and foreign policies in-
dicated the government held a lower
house majority of Conservatives and
Rightists against the Communist and
Socialist opposition.
The Premier defended his under-
standing with Germany, his three-
year plan of "economic mobilization"
and his action in repressing labor's
protests against that plan.

Of Spoof uncp
It will be a battle of C.C.'s (cranial

engineering college faculty go up on
"the carpet" to compete for the
"Spoofuncup" at the annual A.S.M.E.
roast Wednesday at the Union. Prof.
Hugh E. Keeler, of the mechanical
engineering faculty will be "roast-

The "Spoofuncup" has been award-

most "popular unpopular" man in
the college and is a trophy highly
revered in engineering circles. An in-

LIMA, Dec. 9.-(PA)-- The Eighth;
Pan-American Conference opened to-
night with a declaration by its head,
President Oscar Benavides of Peru,
that the Western Hemisphere "wishes
to be strong in order to!be respected."
Benavides' assertion before the
conference came as Adolf A. Berle,
Jr., assistant secretary of state, told
a radio audience that, the United
States is not seeking any military
alliances with Latin American na-
tions.
"It is said by some that military
alliances will be sought," said Berle,
a member of his government's dele-
gation to the conference. "Of Bourse,
this is only a rumor and is obviously
out of the question."
The possibility appeared, however,"
that a frank Pan-American declara-
tion in favor of mutual assistance in*
case of foreign aggression in this
hemisphere would be made.
The first concrete proposal for in-
creased inter-American cooperation
was submitted by the Argentine dele-
gation. The Argentine plan would
call for mutual consultation of Ameri-
can countries through annual meet-,
ings of their foreign ministers or rep-
resentatives.
Berle, in his radio broadcast, said
the countries of the Western Hemi-
sphere "have not lived under a sys-I
tem of military alliances, nor so far
as I know does any of them care to
start such a system now. "
It was learned from a most re-
liable source that Brazil expected to
take the initiative on the .much dis-
cussed defense plan but passage of
such a resolution was doubtful since
some nations were not in favor of
going so far.

Crisler Next
Athletic Head
AiglerHints
Tells 400 Alumni In N.Y.
'Fritz' Was Considered
For Job Five Years Ago
Departing Seniors
Lauded By Coach
By S. BEACH CONGER
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-(Special to
the Daily)-Prof. Ralph W. Aigler of
the Law School, chairman of the
Board in Control of Athletics, today1
promised 400 riotous Metropolitan
alumni in scarcely veiled language
that Head Coach Herbert O. (Fritz)
Crisler would be the University's next
athletic director, replacing Fielding
H. Yost who now serves in that
capacity.
Recalling that former Regent
James O. Murfin five years ago had
talked with him about a successor to
Yost, Professor Aigler told the alumni
he had suggested at that time that
Crisler .be appointed. When he in-
troduced Fritz, he said that Mrs.
Crisler "was happy their move to
Ann Arbor was the 'last one."'
(Last year, when Crisler was
brought here, it was rumored that
only the promise of the athletic di-
rectorship had clinched him for,
Michigan).
Crisler answered the cheering al-
umni, starving from a depression
football era, that his team "had done
everything that could be asked of it,"
and, speaking of the goal-line stand
in the Northwestern game, added,
"Don't crown me a miracle man. I'm
not. The team this year was dedi-
cated to seniors and it was they who
did it."
"I worked the team harder than
any I ever had before," he told them
as he forecast trouble in filling the
line between ends next season be-
cause "we have lost some great men,
and fine leadership in our graduat-
ing seniors."

A highly touted Michigan State
squad will prologue a new chapter
in Michigan basketball history to-
night as the two teams square off
in Yost Field House at 7:30 p.m.
For the Wolverines, it will be their
first game under head Coach Bennie
Oosterbaan, former Michigan three
sport star. Can he coach like he used
to play? It will be the first game in
three years without John Townsend
in the line-up. How will that affect
the results? It will be the first test of
Michigan's new fast-brealing offen-
sive attack. Will it produce?
Local court fans should have! at
least a partial answer to these ques-
tions by the time the final gun
sounds tonight. Students will be

students, general admission is 75
cents with reserved seats $1.
Having coasted to a 36-26 victory
over Kalamazoo in their opener Wed-
nesday. night, the Spartans enter to-
night'a battle a slight favorite to
mar Michigan's inaugural festivities.
Boasting two tall, smooth-working
quintets, Coach Ben F. Van Alstyne
admits that State's prospects are "the
finest in years." His first team is
composed of five veteran performers.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan this sea-
son was confronted with a much dif-
ferent situation. Gone was John
Todrnsend, All-Conference and All-
American forward. With him had
departed veteran guard Herm Fish-
man and forward Bill Barclay. With
Townsend, a great passer, in the
game, Coach Franklin Cappon had
depended upon a methodical set-play
offense but Bennie now had other
ideas.
He remebered the days when he
was an All-Conference forward at
Michigan. Then speed was the weap-
on of attack. He liked the fast game
and was impressed by its success at
Purdue and other schools. His squad
was short but fast. Thus the fast
break was reinserted into the Wol-
verine cage repertoire and that's what

The four years of The Daily Good-
fellow drive have been four years of
a steadily progressive type of social
service breaking away from the out-
worn and inhuman practice of giving
only at Christmas, according to Mrs.
Gordon W. Brevoort, secretary of
the Family Welfare Bureau of Ann
Arbor.
Poor people are not poor just at.
Christmas, they do not have bad
eyes just at Christmas, they are not
in need of food or clothes just at
Christmas, she said. Nor do they
like to be exploited just for the hap-
piness of the givers, to be stared at,
to be given clothes beyond their stan-
dards, to hear people say, "Oh, the
poor things."4
To replace this outdated system of
giving, the Family Welfare Bureau set
up the idea of taking the money
donated byAnn Arbor,itraditionally
a "big" giver at Christmas, and
spreading it throughout the year on
Christmas giving in the right way.
With this idea in mind, the Fam-
ily Welfare Bureau contacted the edi-
torial board .of the Daily in the fall
of 1935 and together they worked out
this substitute for the traditional.
As a result the Daily put out a spe-
cial edition of the paper on Monday
the day when it was not scheduled to
appear, organized a group of campus
salesmen and, turned the proceeds
over to the Family Welfare Bureau
because this group provided trained
men who knew how to dispense such
funds. No strings were attached to
the money and the Bureau could de-
cide how much it would spend at
Christmas and how much during the
rest of the year without old fashioned
sentimental ideas interfering, Mrs.
Brevoort said.
In 1936 the same idea of year round
giving was stressed. Some of the,
proceeds were turned over to the
Dean's Discretionary Fund and the
remainder went to the Family Wel-
fare Bureau to use as it saw fit.
The Goodfellow Edition was offered
as a substitute for wornout Christ-
mas parties in 1937 with great suc-
cess, Mrs. Brevoort declared. In ad-
dition to the Dean's Fund and the
Family Welfare Bureau, $150 went to

plight is beyond their control, she
said. It permits no embarrassing iden-

sored by The Daily.

Hockey Squad Prepareq
For Severe Test With.
Strong Canadian Outfit
Michigan's inexperienced but in-
spired hockey team will have its sec-
ond test of the season when it clashes
with a strong Western Ontario sex-
tet tonight at the Coliseum.
The game, scheduled for 8:30, is.
expected to pack the Michigan skat-
ing arena.
With two hard workouts behind
them since the McMaster tilt, Coach
Eddie Lowrey has been able to polish
off a few of the many rough spots
apparent in the opening game. It is
necessary that these edges be taken
care of due to the fact that they will
be facing a much better team than
the McMaster outfit.
The Wolverine's starting line-up
will be the same that opened Tues-
day's game. The goal will be taken
care of by "Spike" James. More
than once in the opening contest saves
by James kept the McMaster team
from making a score that would have,
resulted in a defeat for the Wolver-
ines.
At the defense posts will be Capt.
Les Hillberg and Lawrence Calvert.
Both of these men played the entire
game, and will probably do the same
tonight-due to the simple fact that
Coach Lowrey has no reserves to call
upon for these positions.
The forward line, which improved
as the game progressed, will find.

Bankers Told
Professor Heneman Calls
Munich Accord 'Deal'
Which Favored Hitler
Great Britain's traditional foreign
policy of "muddling through" as em-
ployed in the recent European crisis
has harmed the cause of permanent
peace, Prof. Harlow J. Heneman of
the political science ,department de-
clared last night in a banquet address
before the first annual conference of
the Michigan Bankers' Association
in the 'Union.
Describingnthe settlement reached
at Munich as a "deal," Professor
Heneman asserted that Prime Minis-
ter Chamberlain made the issue seem
one of "peace or war and set himself
up as the saviour of Europe." He
accused Chamberlain of failing to
"call Germany's bluff." "The Prime
Minister had weapons at his com-
mand, but failed to use them," Pro-
fessor Heneman said. "He could have
suggested that Great Britain ally
with France, Czechoslovakia and Sov-
iet Russia in a united front against
German demands."
"But," he continued, "Chamberlain
went to Munich prepared to give Hit-
ler what he wanted." Great Britain,
he said, has sacrificed international
cooperation to German domination
under the leadership of Chamberlain
who at times seemed a "willing tool
of Hitler."
Professor Heneman reviewed past
events in British foreign policy un-
der the national cabinets of Baldwin
and Chamberlain. "The Tory govern-
ments," he pointed out, "supported

Mechanism Of Precocious Cells,
By MORTON JAMPEL
Describing a Germany more for-
midable and more desperate than
ever since the advent of Hitler, Dr.
Karl W. Deutsch, former representa-
tive of the Sudetendeutschen in the
C ,echoslovakian Parliament, last
niight predicted the fall of the Nazi
empii'e because of the small coun-
tries "you can't get rid of."
The acquisition of Austria was
economically worthless, Dr. Deutsch,
who came to this country as the Ger-
man delegate to the World Youth
The young Czechoslovakian states-
man quoted Wickham Steed, former
editor of The London Times, as say-
ing that the democracies c Europe
are inseparably linked to the terri-
torial integrity and independence of
the smaller nations.
He pointed out that Germany,
strangely enough, demanded the "re-
turn" of what never was her's. The
powers, in the hysteria of impend-
ing war, seemed to forget that one
boundary the Versailles Treaty did
not create or alter was the German-
Czechoslovakian frontier, he said.
That allergy may be a form of de-
fense mechanism for humans whose
body cells have outstripped their en-
vironment was a hypothesis advanced
by Dr. B. Jimenez of the medical
school faculty.
The hypothesis was an attempt to
explain the startling correlation be-
tween allergy and intelligence dis-
covered in recent studies at the
Health Service sensitization clinic.
The fact that so many people of
high intelligence tend to be hyper-
These allergic symptoms include
hay-fever, asthma, rose-fever, ecze-

hives and headaches.
The very super-sensitiveness of
body cells which cause the above
symptoms of reactions to foreign sub-
stances in allergic people are likely
to indicate super-resistance to disease
germs.
