Newly Elected President
Dean Lloyd Introduces
Candidates For Society
Dr. Carvalho Gives
Speech On Brazil
Newly elected president, Dean Alice
Lloyd officially began the initiation
ceremony at the banquet for the 140
new members of the Michigan chap-
ter of the Phi Kappa Phi in the Un-
ion last night when she presented
the candidates and told them that
"Theirs was the opportunity to ac-
cept an obligation in joining to stick
to the sacred principles and high
ideals of learning which in the course
of time would prove an honor for the
Society."
Present president, Dr. Warren E.
Forsythe, accepted the initiates and
pronounced them members as he
pointed out to them that the Society
in uniting them in the spirit of its
motto-The love of learning rules
the world-presents them with the
responsibility of living up to that
motto. The Society, which was or-
iginally founded at the University of
Maine, differs from other honor
groups in that it takes in students of
all colleges and departments.
Fitch Presents Musical
Following the short musical pre-
sented by Hubert Fitch, newly made
member, Dr. Carlos Delgado de Car-
valho, who was introduced by Dr.
Preston James of the geography de-
partment, gave a talk on the "Im-
migrant Problem in Brazil."
Dr. Delgado stressed the point that
colonization, which is one of the out-
standing problems, must be met with
utter Brazilian enthusiasm. "Brazil
is in need of immigrants to help
carry on with the expasion towards
the west," he said.
Must Correct Mistake
In the closing words he also point-
ed out that Brazil must correct its
mistake of open-door policy and
watch for the using of Brazil by
certain European countries as an out-
let in the search for "lebensraum."
Those initiated into Phi Kappa Phi
are as follows: From the College of
Literature, Science and Arts: Frank-

The miscue was the climax of a
hectic ninth inning which found the
Varsity staging a desperate attempt
to pull the game out of fire after they
had put on a poor exhibition of base-

The Wolverines were trailing, 5-1,

Noted Test Pilot Predicts
Revolutionary Advances;i
Prof. Stalker Honored'
Predicting a continuation of thea
brilliant achievements of the past
few decades in the aviation industry,
Major James H. Doolittle, noted-
speed and test pilot, last nightc
highlighted the annual Institute ofc
Aeronautical Sciences banquet com--
memorating Prof. Edward A. Stal-s
ker's tenth anniversary as chairman
of the aeronautical engineering de-
partment.
Future progress in the field of
aviation may exceed our wildest
dreams, Major Doolittle forecast,1
pointing at recent revolutionary
technical advances in the industry
which experts, less than a decade
ago, pronounced impractical and
impossible.
Working from accepted theories,
recognized authorities once proved
mathematically that power out-put
per cylinder in aircraft engines
would never exceed 50 horsepower,
yet Major Doolittle pointed at stan-
dard engines today delivering as
high as 133 per cylinder.
Presented during the banquet at
which Michael A. Gorman, editor
of the Flint Journal served as toast-
master, were a portfolio to Profes-
sor Stalker in token of his service
to the department, and a desk pen
set to Prof. Milton J. Thompson,
honorary chairman of the Institute.

Crashes In Battle
By LOUIS P. LOCHNER
BERLIN, April 30.-(/P)--The Ger-
man high command tonight stamped
the Nazi conquest of Norway as vir-
tually won with the linking of Oslo
and Trondheim by green-grey col-
umns, the capture of strategic Dom-
bas in between, and control of the
main rail line from the Norwegian
capital to the great west coast port.
Adolf ,Hitler, himself, sent a spe-
cial order of the day to the German
troops in Norway, praising them for
their tremendous 20-day campaign
and its result: the smashing of an,
Allied pincers movement aimed at
cutting off Trondheim by thrusts
from south and north.
The achievements announced today
by the high command were said in
authorized quarters to have exceed-
ed the fondest expectations of Ger,
man military authorities in view of
the difficulties of the campaign.
Now that Trondheim is secured and
the German troops there no longer
are dependent on supplies from sea
ad air, inspired sources say no time
will be lost In starting a concentric
attack to sweep the Allied troops
from their foothold on the stony
midriff of Norway.

By RICHARD HARMEL
Dean Ernest A. Anthony of the
Michigan State College of Agricul-
ture drove home to an audience of
300 yesterday the idea that "the day
of the farmer as an individualist is
over" and that he must look for
salvation in the evergrowing coop-
erative movement which has already
claimed moi'e than 2,100,000 mem-
bers.
Addressing the second day's ses-
sion of the Eighth Annual Adult
Education Institute in the Rackham
Building, Dean Anthony deplored
the farmer's position as the "foot-
ball" of American politics and at
the same time praised the New Deal
farm measures as "without parallel
in the history of the world."
thony's opinion, should control his
production to meet the nation's de-
mands. Possible means of this con-
trol, he concluded, lies in the coop-
erative movement.
Highlight of today's Institute ses-
sions in the Rackham ,Building will
be the address on "The Constitu-
tion, an Instrument for Freedom" to
be given by Judge Florence K. Allen
of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
in Cleveland. Judge Allen's career
reveals service as a foreign corre-
spondent, music critic and assistant
county prosecutor.
Also featured in today's sessions
will be the 6 p.m. banquet in the
Union where Dr. Paul W. Harrison,
30 years a missionary in Central
