Scientists, Research Men,
Technicians Will Meet
For Three-Day Parley
Distinguished \scientists, research
men and technicians from the lab-
oratories of the great industrial or-
ganizations throughout the country
'will meet here tomorrow for the
three-day Michigan-Life Conference
on New Technologies in Transporta-
tion.
Designed to examine new methods,
new materials and new directions in
the transportation field, the confer-
ence will feature many outstanding"
men in the field of transportation.
Lectures and demonstrations will
deal chiefly with specific 1939
achievements in the respective fields
of engineering, metalurgy, thermo-
dynamics, structure, tensile strength,
speed and capacity in the fields of
air transportation, automotive, high-
way, rail and marine transportation.
Sponsored' jointly by the University
anid Life magazine, the conference
will include such speakers as Charles
F. 'Kettering, vice-president in charge
of research, General Motors Corp.;
C. R. Smith, president of American
Airlines; Fred M. Zeder, vice-chair-
man of the board Chrysler Corp.;
Vandals Return
In New Raids
On Fraternities

Otto S. Schairer, vice-president in
charge of patents, Radio Corporation
of America and D. A. Wallace, presi-
dent, Chrysler Sales Corp.
"Predicated' on the thesis that a.
definite need exists at this time for
a correlation of the best and most
recentythinking in such fields as met-
allurgy, electrinics and combustion,"
the late Dean Henry C. Anderson
stated in announcing the conference,
"the Michigan-Life Conference is de-
signed to draw together laboratory,
men, who, in multiple industries and
for many ends, have been pursuing
identical lines of research in pure
science. Their efforts, translated in-
to application in commercial devices,
produce the transportation services
of tomorrow. It is needless to say
that in these fields we today stand
on the threshold of the possibilities of
a new mobility in American life."

Three Patients
FleeHospital
State Official Terms Two
PotentiallyDangerous'
IONIA, Mich., Oct. 30.-(AP)-Three
Ionia State Hospital inmates, two
of them described by Dr. Perry C.
Robertson, as "potentially danger-
ous" escaped tonight through a win-
dow from which bars had been cut
with a hacksaw.
They were:
Sammy Davis, 35 years old, reputed
former Purple Gangster at Detroit
who was committed to the Hospital
directly by Recorder's Court in 1934.
He was accused of killing Sam Gould,
also a reputed gangster, and was
arrested after he had eluded police
of several states for two years. When
caught, he was operating a gasoline
station near New Rochelle, N.Y., and
had married a New York girl.
Hobart Erickson, 40 years old, of
Iron Wood, committed by Gogebic
Circuit Court before a scheduled trial
on charges of murdering his own

brother.
Lloyd Lockner, 23 years old, . of
Detroit, ringleader in tonight's es-
cape, according to Dr. Robertson, who
was committed directly by Record-
er's Court before his trial on larceny
charges.
Lockner was in charge of the in-
mate clothing room in the No. 2 dor-
mitory and it was through a window
of this room that the three fled.
Their absence was noticed by an at-
tendant at 7:30 p.m.

Representative Charges
Chamber Is Ga gged
In Embargo Measure
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. ---(P)-
While a leader of the embargo bloc
cried "gag rule," plans to speed
the Administration's neutrality bill
through the -House in short order
were approved today by a majority
of the House Rules Committee.
Representative Fish, (Rep.-N.Y.),
opponent of the Administration'
measure, especially of its proposal to
repeal the arms embargo,' contended
the procedure adopted would deprive
the House of its right to alter the
form in which the measure came
from the Senate. But Chairman
Sabath (Dem.-I1.), denied Fish's
"gag" charges, arguing that the bill
would be treated in the normal way.
Under the procedure, which is sub-
ject to an hour's debate and a vote
in the House tomorrow, the bill would
be sent to a joint House-Senate Con-
ference Conmittee for adjustment of
differences between it and the meas-
ure which the House passed earlier
this year.
The most important difference is
that the House bill would retain a
modified ban against supplying bel-
ligerents with arms, whereas the Sen-
ate proposal would _wipe out th~e
present embargo.
Hot words were exchanged freely
at the Rules Committee's session
when Sabath observed at one point
that the German capture of the
American steamers City of Flint would'
not have occurred had the shipping
restrictions in the Senate bill been
on the statute books.
ASU To Investigate

Negro housing and eating facilities
will be the principal subjects of the

cher, Grad., chairman of the com-
mittee 'announced.,
The group, composed of both white
and Negro students, will study the
problems of rooms for Negroes around
campus, and discrimination 6y res-
taurants against Negroes. After the
facts about these conditions are col-
lected, Gleicher said, the committee
will endeavor to provide a practicable
solution for these problems.,

Dr. Isaac Rabinowitz, director of
Hillel Foundation will deliver the
fourth of the "I Believe" lectures at
8 p.m. tonight in the Rackham Am-
phitheatre.
Stating 'his -personal concept of
God, Dr. Rabinowitz will also dis-
cuss man's relation to the deity, and
the ethics that spring from such- a
belief, it was announced.
In 'accordance with the general
theme of the lectures, which follow
along the lines explored during the
"Existence and Nature of God" series
last year, these lectures are highly
subjective, according to Kenneth W.
Morgan, director of the Student Re-
ligious Association. They deal, he
said, with the experiences in daily
work, the intellectual victorie sand
defeats and with the religious in-
sights which the religious leaders of
Ann Arbor have encountered.
The "I Believe" lectures were de-
signed to provide an opportunity for
students to acquaint themselves
broadly with the various creeds in
organized religion.

Freshmen Must Remove Their Pots
On Enterig Union, Council Holds


Charge 

I

By ROBERT BOGLE
The frosh will hereinafter remove
their pots on entering the Michigan
Union.
This decree was handed down by
the executive council of the Union
last night as a move to retain the
tradition, in line with this fall's re-
juvenation of the pot custom. Forget-
ful freshmen may now be startled if
not perturbed to hear the clarion cry,
of "Take it off!" ring out upon their
entering the campus center while
still wearing the headpiece.
It all started, according to Frank
Qakes, social manager of the Union,
back in the days when all students
wore pots, or toques, as they were
then described. At that time, all
classes had their own particular
color, and all wore their chapeaux
with the greatest of pride.
At that time, as Mr. Qakes said,
the freshmen were obliged to remove
their pots on all occasions, whether

"People didn't stand for any foolish-
ness from the frosh in those days,"
Oakes claimed.
The Union, in its attempt to revive
this year some of the savor of tho/
past times if not their potency, have
recalled the old but not forgotten
custom of "depotting the frosh" in
the Union. The principle, according
to Union high officials, is not so much
to regain the savagery of a past day,
as to make the frosh feel that they
are in a class by' themselves, and*not
merely a lot of "stooges" for some-
one to pick on. A few years ago, when
the subject of the maintenance of
pots themselves was brought up, the
freshmen themselves were most pro-
minent in arguing for the continu-
ance ,of the custom.
The revival this year of compulsory
pots for freshmen is due largely to
the efforts of the Interfraternity
Council, who felt the nee'a for some-
thing to link together the beginning

Small Blaze Reported
By Gamma Phi Betas
A fire lasting about fifteen minutes
in the basement of the Gamma Phi.
Beta sorority caused considerable
excitement among the "sorors of
that house about 10:30 p.m. last
-night. Ted Novak, '40, who happened
to be walking by, reported the blaze.
Other than the burning of the
sidewalk, no damage was reported,
and the fire was quickly brought un-
der control.

With the Student Senate election
only three days away, final plans for
a public Election Rally at 8 p.m. to-
morrow in the small ballroom of the
Union were announced yesterday by
Sen. Harold Osterweil, '41, chairman
of the Rally Committee.
Prof. Lewis G. VanderVelde of the
history department will address the
meeting, presenting the viewpoint of
the faculty on the Senate; and Rob-
ert Rosa, Grad., will present the veiws
of the student body. James T. Dusen-
berry, Grad., will act as chairman
for the meeting, half of which will be
devoted to two minute speeches by
each of the 46 candiates for Friday's
election. In the case of several can-

terweil pointed out, that the Senate
has ever attempted a rally to ac-
quaint the student body with the can-
didates whom they will vote for in
the election.r
In addition to the Rally, the co-
directors of the election, Norman A.
Schorr, '40, and Stuart K. Knox, '40,
announced yesterday that the ma-
jority of candidates have submitted
platforms and these will be published'
before the election in the Daily's spe-
cial Battle Page.
"With the publication of the plat-
forms, and the Rally, which will be
in effect a one-panel parley, we hope
