Four Students To Try
For Orchestra Places
Four University musicians will
take part in the national competi-
tion for positions in Leopold Sto-
kowski's All -American Youth Or-
chestra, the National Youth Admin-
istration announced yesterday.
Once organized, the Youth Orches-
tra wil tour South America this
summer.
University students who will com-
pete are: Clarence M. Schulz, '43SM,
tympanist; John . Houdek, Grad.,
string bass; John Rohrer, '41SM,
tympanist, and Gene Sherry, '42SM,
horn.
They are survivors of almost 50
young musicians who competed in
the final state auditions in Detroit.
The contest in Michigan is being
directed by Orrin W. Kaye, state
NYA administrator. Preliminary au-
ditions were held in Marquette, Flint,
Detroit and Grand Rapids.
Senate Votes
Down Addition'
To Trade Act
Narrow Majority Defeats
Pittman Amendment;
Continuation Bill Seen
WASHINGTON, March 29.--(P)-
A three-vote majority in the Senate
today saved the Roosevelt trade pacts
program from an amendment which,
administrative spokesmen had said,
would "nullify" the effort to lower
trade barriers by agreements with
foreign nations.
By a vote of 44 to 41, the chamber
rejected an amendment by Senator
Pittman (Dem.-Nev.) requiring that
future reciprocal trade pacts be sub-
mitted to the Senate for ratification
by a two thirds vote.
The defeat of this amendment
cleared the way for action next week
upon the pending legislation author-
izing a three-year continuation of
the present trade agreements act
under which the Administration can
reduce tariffs as much as 50 per-
cent in return for concessions from
other nations. The agreements em-
bodying° these mutual concessions
are not subject to senate action.

New Assistants
For Freshman
Dorm Chosen
Twenty Women Will Help
Jordan Staff Next Year
In New Proctor System
Nominees To Take
Training Course
Twenty women who have shown
themselves to be outstanding in their
interest in advisory work, character,
personality, scholarship and house
citizenship, have been selected to act
as student assistants in Jordan Hall
next year, Prof. Karl Litzenberg an-
nounced yesterday for the Board of
Governors of Residence Halls.
Those students who have been cho-
sen to participate in the new system
are: Barbara Baggs, '43, E.S.G. Boyd,
'43, Virginia Capron, '43, Betty Cle-
ment, '41, Gloria Donen, '43, Jone
Eiffert, '43, Jane Guinnane, '41, Su-
sanna Hollis, '41, Virginia Howes, '42,
Lorraine Judson, '43, and Mary Kep-
pel, '43.
List Continues
The list continues with Laura Mc-
Ament, '42, Jean Misner, '43, Char-
lotte Morley, '43, Betty Newman, '43,
Martha Preston, '43, Virginia Seu-
bert, '43, Esther Stevens, '43, and Syl-
via Yalowich, '43. A group of alter-
nates has also been chosen.
The student assistants will be giv-
en a choice of rooms in the Hall in
addition to a small reduction in room
rent. A five-week training course
will be given following Spring Vaca-
tion.
Responsibilties Cited
Each assistant will be responsible
for a group of eight to ten freshmen
women, in her corridor. Working in
conjunction with the staff members
of the Hall, she will cooperate with
them on personnel problems, commit-
tees and in the formation and opera-
tion of student government. It is
hoped, Professor Litzenberg said, that
their aid, both direct and indirect,
will be of value in easing freshman
adjustment and orientating the group
to campus life.
The program will provide valuable
experience in leadership and person-
nel training, Professor Litzenberg
added. The University is only one of
the many colleges and universities in
the country that uses this method of
assistantship in women's residence
halls. In other schools where this
system is in operation, students plan-
ning careers in personnel and guid-
ance work have sought these posi-
tions for the practical training, ex-
perience and responsibility they pro-
vide.
Molotoff Makes Speech
MOSCOW, March 29.-()-Pre-
mier-Foreign Commissar Vyacheslaff
Molotoff proclaimed tonight Soviet
Russia's desire to "maintain our neu-
trality and refrain from any par-
ticipation in the war" in Europe, but
flatly warned the Western Allies that
they are "playing with fire" with
their armies in the Near East.

Student Senate
Balloting Set
For April 26
Initiation Of New Tenure
Plan To Mark Election;
Sixteen Seats At Stake
Petitioning Begins
April 15 At Union
Petitioning for the Student Senate
semi-annual elections, to be held
April 26, the second Friday after
Spring Vacation, at which 16 new
members will be chosen will begin
Monday, April 15, and continue
through Friday, April 19, at the
Union, it was announced yesterday by
Stuart Knox, '40, and Norman A.
Schorr, '40, co-directors of elections.
Under the reorganized system of
Senate membership set up last week,
this election will be the first of tran-
sitional elections which will eventu-
ally bring the membership of that
body' to 30, with one-third retiring
each semester, and with the term of
office for the individual Senator run-
ning for three semesters instead of the
former two, the directors pointed out.
As. the Senate now stands, there
are 14 members whose terms of office
extend through the present semes-
ter. Of the 16 members to be select-
ed April 26, the first 10 chosen will
hold office for three semesters, while
the remaining six will serve for one
semester. As in past Senate elec-
tions, the Hare system of Proportion-
al Representation will be used, the
directors said.
According to the recently-adopted
amendments to the by-laws establish-
ing the new policy of three-semester
terms, a similar election will be held
next Fall, at which 10 members will
be elected for three semesters and 10
for one semester, so that by the Spring
election in 1941, the Senate will have
completed the transition. At that
time, the body of Senators will con-
sist of an overlapp ng membership of
30, with one-third or 10 being elected
each semester.
The directors stressed the point
that upperclassmen should not be
discouraged from running for Senate
office, in fear that they will not get
to serve their full term. For, the
Senate has traditionally extended
special courtesy to graduating seni-
ors or graduate students, whereby
they may nominate a successor to fill
out the remainder of their tenure.

NEW HAVEN, March 29.-Mich-
igan's highly favored swimming team
lost the initial round in the defense
of its title in the National Colle-
giates tonight when it ended the
first day of competition locked in a
disappointing 23-23 deadlock with
Bob Kiphuth's Yale Bulldogs. Ohio
State trailed the leaders in third
place with 20 points.

Fate alone prevented the re-

While telegraph operators in
The Daily office tried in vain to
cope with heavy electrical inter-
ference, star-gazing students re-
ported that they could see the
spectacle of an aurora borealis
in the heavens above Ann Arbor.
The aurora borealis, telegraph
operators explained, created the
magnetic storm which in turn
crippled telegraph and radio com-
munications.
An aurora borealis, in scien-
tific terms, is a luminous phe-
nomenon visible only at night
and is supposed to be of elec-
trical origin. It is popularly
called "Northern Lights." It is
seen to best advantage in the
Arctic regions. This light usually
appears in streamers ascending,
often in a fanshape, from a dus-
ky line or eldud-banik a few de-
grees above the northern hori-
zon.

BERLIN, March 29.-(P)-Official
Germany tonight exploded a paper
bombshell of 16 documents declared
to have been taken from the foreign
office archives of conquered Poland,
in which Polish envoys to Washing-
ton, Paris and London are quoted as
attributing these pre-war beliefs,
actions and policies to two American
ambassadors and, by indirection, to
President Roosevelt:
To William C. Bullitt, ambassador
to Paris: the conviction that the
United States would "finish" a Euro-
pean conflict on the Allies' side.
To Joseph P. Kennedy, ambassa-
dor to London: a promise to press
upon the British leaders "the neces-
sity of helping Poland at once with
cash."
To President Roosevelt (apparent-
ly the Polish envoy's own opinion,
without any quotation from the Presi-
dent):
The desire to distract America from
domestic problems and, "by conjuring
up a war psychosis and conjuring up
danger in Europe, he wanted to per-
suade the American people to accept
America's enormous preparedness
program, a program which goes be-
yond defense needs." '

WASHINGTON, March 29.-(I)-
A series of sharp denials tonight
greeted Germany's publication of
documents purporting to show that
the United States helped bring on
the European war.
Secretary of State Hull issued a
statement saying that he did not
place "the slightest credence" in the
diplomatic conversations mentioned
in the documents and that the pa-
pers did not represent "in any way"
the foreign policy of the United
States.
A few hours after President Roose-
velt had told reporters that propa-
ganda from Europe should be taken
with several grains of salt, William
C. Bullitt, American ambassador to
France, and Count Jerzy Potocki,
Polish ambassador to the United
States, issuued formal denials of the
statements attributed to them in the
documents.
Bullitt, who was alleged to have
told Potocki that the United States
would enter the war against Ger-
many if Great Britain and France
"bestirred themselves," said:
'The President has already indi-
cated that propaganda of this na-
ture should be taken with several
grains of salt.

McKeon Speaks
On Philosophy
History Of Logic Traced
By Dean From Chicago
Analyzing both discovery and judg-
ment in their relation to logic, Dr.
Richard P. McKeon, Dean of the
Division of Humanities at the Uni-
yersity of Chicago, yesterday traced
the history of logic in a speech de-
livered at the Rackham Amphithe-
atre.
His talk, entitled "Discovery and
Proof in the History of Logic," was
a University lecture sponsored by the
philosophy department.
Dr. McKeon indicated that the
early Greek philosophers emphasized
judgment as the prime instrument
of logic. That emphasis was con-
sidered by Cicero and especially by
Bacon to be misplaced, Dr. McKeon
said, pointing out that these later
philosophers thought discovery more
important than judgment.
"It was held that the Greek and
later the medieval philosophers, by

The new regime with the backing
of the Japanese army, is dedicated to
an effort to end 33 months of war
between Jaan and China and to estab-
lish a new economic relationship be-;
tween the two countries, with Japan1
playing a dominating role in the de-
velopment of China's resources and,
industry.
Scathing denunciations of Wang's1
"high treason were voiced in Chung-,
king shortly before the new govern-'
ment became effective and a train
bringing officials of the new regime
to Nanking was wrecked, allegedly by
Chinese guerillas.
With the exception of Japan, no
foreign nation sent diplomatic repre-
sentatives to the ceremonies. The
American, French, British and Soviet
ambassadors were in Chungking,
where Chiang Kai-Shek's govern-
ment is recognized by all countries
but Japan as the sole legal authority
in China.
In Shanghai International defense
forces, including United States ma-
rines, were out in full strength to
quell any renewal of disturbances
and terrorism that marked the early
stages in the Japanese political moves.
Within sight of the Japanese-
guarded walls of Nanking unidenti-
fied persons believed to have been
Chinese guerrillas loosened rails
which overturned the locomotive and
three coaches of a Japanese-operated
train bearing new regime officials,
Japanese supporters and foreign cor-
respondents to the city.

Michigan's 300-yard medley relay
team, consisting of Francis Heydt,

by beating Princeton, Yale and O.S.U.
Al Vande Weghe, Princeton's ace,
successfully defended his 150-yard
back stroke NCAA title, winning by
eight feet over Michigan's Francis
Heydt after leading all the way. His
time was 1:34.6.
Howard Johnson of Yale was the
only other newly crowned champion,
beating out Andy Clark of Wayne in
the 220-yard free style in the time
of 2:13.1. Successfully defending
their titles were Hal Stanhope of
Ohio State, 1500-meter; Al Vande
