PRICE FIVE CENTS O Berlin Hitler; Senators Would Eliminate 90-Day Credit Provision For Belligerent Nations Extended Debate To BeginMonday WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-(JP)- Indications of strong opposition to allowing warring nations to make purchases here on any credit terms whatsoever led to talk among some Administration Senators tonight of changing the neutrality bill to a strict "cash and carry" measure. Senator Minton (Dem., Ind.) the majority whip and one of the lead- ers in the fight for the Administra- tion program, told reporters he NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-V(JP)- The stock market wound up the week today with a broad rally in the "war infant" shares which spread to other sections of tle list, more than wiping out the attrition of five preeding days of irregular or declining prices. The upsurge began with the opening and continued through- out the short session, with leaders. at their best, up . fractions to around 5 points, at the finish. Business was active for a Satur- day and transfers totaled 843,340 shares compared with 562,460 a week ago. thought it might be advisable to. elim- inate the 90-day credit provision and require strict cash payments. "It would make it much easier to pass the bill," he asserted. "We will be back here in January, and if the cash provision is found unworkable we can change it." FDR Wins Victory As reported by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the measure By PAUL CHANDLER EAST LANSING, Oct. 1.-Many 3ruel remarks are being shoved in the way of Michigan State College by Ann Arbor citizens today, just because the boys who wear the green and white football suits looked very, very bad in giving Wayne University a 16-0 beating Saturday afternoon. That is unfair. State has many virtues: for example: (1) They have a brave football team. It was announced definitely Saturday that Michigan State will not cancel their football engagement with Fritz Crisler's Wolverines here next week, despite the unfortunate tea party with Wayne. (2) Michigan State loves little children and Boy Scouts. Both were admitted to see Saturday's game free. (3) Large crowds come to watch CharleyhBachman's eleven sport about the green turf. There were 23,000 persons in the stands Satur- day. (Editor's Note-It is not true that 20,000 of them were little chil- dren and Boy Scouts.) (4) The Michigan State coaches are warm hearted. They allowed the Boy Scoits . to build tents on their practice field. It is.reliably reported that. one State coach when asked if he would approve placing the tents there replied,, "Sure, go ahead, we don't need the practice." (5) Michigan State did not allow any cows to wander on the gridiron during the game. (6) There are a large number of freshmen in East Lansing, distin- guishable from other students by the little green pot hats which they wear. Michigan State school officials are quite proud of the fact that there are more of these green-pot-wearing-' freshmen in East Lansing than in Ann Arbor. (7) Michigan State musicians are courteous. They allowed the Wayne band to steal the show Saturday. (8) Michigan State football play- ers are also courteous. They fumbled 10 times Saturday and let Wayne re- cover the ball 9 times. (9) The football suits of Michigan State shone more beautifully in the afternoon sun than did those of Wayne. (10) Michigan State spectators are intelligent. When they talked among themselves about the Michigan game next week, the words were uttered only in guarded whispers, if at all. We cite these compliments only in fairness to that college whose campus lies near the office of Gov. Luren D. Dickinson. To these things we should add that (Continued on Page 2) edits on purchasesin tes, would require that belligerents be carried an ships and would President to designate n which American ves- is could not travel. government failed to chases within 90 days, quired to pay cash for ,es until the debt was StateBoard To Arbitrate Power Strike. Consumers' Officials And' CIO Chief tians Confer, To Report On Progress DETROIT, Sept. 30.-UP)-Negotia- tions seeking settlement ,f the eight- I day-old Consumer Power Co. strike resumed today under direction of the State Labor Mediation Board. A. C. Lappin, Detroit member of the State Board, presided at the meeting, which was adjourned yes- terday to permit company officials and representatives of the CIO-utility workers organizing committee to com- pile information needed at the con- ference. TheCIO union struck to force an agreement providing grievance ma- chinery which would function until the National Labor Relations Board determines whether the UWOC or the Labor Relations Board determines whether the UWOC or the AFL-In- ternational Brotherhood of Electrical Workers should bargain for consumer workers. A run-off election ordered by the NLRB was enjoined by the AFL union when the board eliminat- ed it from the ballot because it had finished second to the- CIO Union in the original election. Three hours of conference between Consumers Power Company officials and CIO leaders produced further "progress" reports today in the efforts at strike settlement. Negotiations will resume at 10:30 a.m. Monday. While union and company officials were silent, A. C. Lappin of the State Labor Mediation Board said progress had been made._ Three Changes In Congress' Council Made Phil Westbrook Announces Shift Of Committeemen Hoover, Paner, Rockwell Three changes have been made in the personnel for the coming year of tieexecutive council of Congress, in-. dependent men's organization, Phil' Westbrook, '40, president, said yes- terday.. Jack Hoover, '40, formerly chair-1 man of the activities committee, has been named executive secretary in charge of organizations. Dave Panar, '41E, has taken over Hoover's posi- tion on the activities committee. Bill Rockwell, '41, formerly chairman of the publicity committee, is now head of the student welfare committee. Panar is the only new man on the council. Among other duties, Panar will take over the administration of Con- gress' Booster Card plan, designed to afford students and faculty members special discounts on personal services and men's clothing and furnishings. Response during the first two weeks of Booster Card Sales has been encouraging, Panar reports, and the Congress office, Room 306 of the Union, will be open from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each afternoon this week for the convenience of those who have not yet purchased their cards. Selling at 50 cents each, the cards entitle holders to a 30 per cent dis- count on cleaning and pressing charges, and a 10 per cent discount on shoe repairing and men's colth- ing and furnishings. Alumnus Designed Union And League Building; Was 82 Years Of Age Had Reputation As Fine Athlete Irving K. Pond, the man who de- signed the Union and League build- ings and a distinguished graduate of the University, died suddenly in Washington, D.C. at the age of 82 years Friday. Funeral services were held in Washington on Saturday. The ashes were brought to Ann Arbor, his birth- place, today. Mr. Pond, a resident of Chicago' since his graduation in 1879, was a frequent visitor to Ann Arbor.dHe was here only last summer as a dele- gate to the convention of the Circus Fans of America. Held Two Degrees He held two honorary degrees from the University: a master of arts in 1911 and a doctor of architecture in 1930.. He was born May 1, 1857, a son of Elihu and Mary Allen Pond. After graduation he was associated' with his brother, the late Allen Pond, also a Michigan alumnus, in the firm of Pond & Pond of Chicago. This firm served as architects for Hull House, Chicago Commons, the Federal building in Kankakee, Ill and memorial union buildings at Purdue University, Michigan State College, and University of Kansas. A past president of theAmerican Institute of Architects, Mr. Pond was. a frequent contributor to magazines on architectural and similar subjects. He was a member of several profes- Aional organizations in the United States and abroad. His wife, the formerKatharine L. de Nancrede, of Ann Arbor, died in 1935. Ciano Due Tonight In his undergraduate days, Mr. Pond enjoyed a reputation as a fine, athlete. He had the distinction of scoring the first Intercollegiate touch- down ever made west of the Alle- ghenies. Playing with the Michigan team against Racine college, May 30, 1879, in the old White Stockings park in Chicago, he ran up on the bleachers, jumped over his opponent's heads and scored the touchdown. Even in his later years he regularly executed calisthenics and other ex- ercises, and as recently as 1937 did handsprings and back flips to the astonishment of his friends. He represented the American Insti- tute of Architects and the United States government at the Interna- tional Congress of Architects in Rome and Venice in 1911. College Should Train Leaders Freshman Round - Table Hears Prof. Van Duren A university education should train one to be a leader in public life, Prof. Arthur Van Duren of the German department said yesterday at the Freshman Round-Table discussion in Lane Hall. Speaking on the subject "For What Are We Educated?" Professor Van Duren lamented that so many stu- dents consider literary education only a preamble to their training in a professional school. "A lawyer is not practicing his profession 24 hours a day," he stated. "He must also live in a community and be a leader of the 88 or 89 per cent who do not go to college. To do this he should acquire in college the ability to an- swer questions on a strictly rational basis. Every and any course taken in college will help." "If there is any hope for the fu- ture, it must lie in the people who see problems clearly and can assume the responsibility for the future of our country. That, I think, is the thing for which we are educated. The great purpose of education is to learn to think clearly and logically upon the problems which are placed before us," he said. Officials To Ask Extended Time For Building University officials decided Satur- day to ask for a 30-day extension of time on the Health Service PWA building project, just in case the con- struction is not completed by the original scheduled date, Jan. 17. The request for the extension was planned after receipt of a telegram from Col. E. W. Clark, acting admin- istrator of the Public Works Admin- istration, warning that the workamust be speeded up if government aid is to be retained. It is expected that the request for extension will be submitted to the Board of Regents for their approval at their regular meeting Oct. 7. Although the project is moving be- hind schedule, building officials have estimated that it is about 44 per cent completed, and will probably be fin- ished by the original date. One of the factors which has been cited as causing serious delays is the discovery that unstable soil on the" Twelfth" St.' site made it necessary to drive steel and concrete piles into the ground. First work on the project started Dec. 5, 1938. Read To Give Prison Break- Probe Report Reich stag Session Called bor Pit'tman, (Dem., Nev.), an of the Foreign Relations ttee, who filed a majority tee report on the measure to- ntended this credit restriction ntamount to cash. as apparent, however, that enators were ready to dispute the long-awaited Senate de- hich will begin Monday with ress by Pittman and a reply by r Borah (Rep., Ida.) ranking y member of the Foreign Re- Credit Section Target. One oppositionist, whio asked an- onymity, said that foes of the bill might shift the main thrust of their attack from the embargo repeal to the credit provisions. He said that a strict requirement for cash pay- ments probably would have more pop- ular appeal than proposals to con- tinue the existing arms embargo, which forbids the shipment of Ameri- can armaments to belligerents. Administration leaders predicted a final vote within three weeks and pre- dicted at least 65 Senate votes for their program. Opposition forces re- iterated that there would be no fili- buster, but declined to forecast when a vote might be taken. There was talk that a "gentleman's agreement" might be sought for a vote the last week in October, but some senators on both sides said such an agreement would be impractical. As to the Administration's claims of prospective votes for the measure, an opposition strategist conceded that a current checkup showed a maximum of 35 votes against the bill, but added that developments abroad and the Senate debate might change the situation materially. Kuhn Stays In Jail As Bail Increases NEW YORK. Sept. 30.-(P)-Fritz Attorney General To Tell Findings To Governor Tomorrow Or Tuesday LANSING, Mich., Sept. 30.-(P)- Returning today from a four-day in- vestigation of a recent break by four inmates from the Michigan branch prison at Marquette, Attorney Gen- eral Thomas Read said he would make a formal report and recom- mendations to Governor Dickinson Monday or Tuesday. Read refused to reveal his findings before that time, but he declared in- formally that his investigations showed there had been negligence in searching cell blocks for hidden weapons and in not protecting the classification building against escape plots. Four prisoners seized Warden Mar- vin L.'Coon, his deputy and two mem- bers of the State Parole Board and took them with them on their flight. The officials were holding parole hearings in the classification build- ing when the plot materialized. Read said it was not constructed or pro- tected to prevent such an eventu- ality. The Attorney General said he per- sonally felt that Coon had followed the best policy in instructing prison guards and State Police not to fire upon the fleeing party. Political circles have reported that Read will recommend the removal of Coon, a Democratic holdover ap- pointee. Highest Tribunal To Meet Monday WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. -(P)- The Supreme Court will start on Monday another historic term in its 149-year history. Outstanding litigation pending in- volves interpretation of the Federal Anti-Trust Laws and the National Labor Relations Act. These cases are considered the most important among the more than 400 appeals that have accumulated since the tribunal adjourned for the sum- mer on June 5. The list of outstanding contro- versies is smaller than it has been in recent years. This is due to the fact that the Court already has passed on most of the New Deal leg- islation. It is generally expected, however, that a test case of the con- stitutionality of the Wage-Hour Law German Subs To Regard All Vessels As Warships LONDON, Sept. 30.- (A) -The British admiralty said tonight the German radio had broadcast an an- nounicement that Germany now would consider every vessel of the British merchant navy as a "warship." The Admiralty said it interpreted this as a possible indication of "an immediate change of policy in Ger- man submarine warfare." An announcement by the British' ministry of information said: "The following message has been promulgated to all British merchant ships by the Admiralty: "'The following has been. received by German broadcast this evening: "Several German submarines have been attacked by British merchant ships in the past few days. "'Hitherto, the German wireless as- serts 'German submarines have ob- served international laws by always warning merchant ships before at- tacking them. Now, however, Ger- many will have to retaliate by re- garding every vessel of the British merchant navy as a warship.' ! "'While the above of course is en- tirely untrue, it may indicate an im- mediate change of policy in German submarine warfare and you should be prepared to meet it."'

Koella of the romance languages department who returned to Ann Arbor yesterday from a three-month "vacation", in Europe. Accompanied by his wife, Professor Koella arrived in Boulogne, France from Switzerland Sept. 2, expecting to make contact with the Holland- American line "Westernland." There they met Mr. James C. O'Niell of the romance languages department and Miss Helen Hall of the Institute of Fine Arts who were also seeking passage on the liner. Taken by ten- der to the "Westernland," the quar- tet was denied passage because of On Sept. 14 the party was again forced to take to taxicab for the trip from Antwerp to Rotterdam but up- on its arrival there found the sail- ing time delayed since the "Niew Amsterdam," of the Holland-Ameri- can line, had been held up by British authorities for inspection in the Downs. A strike of Dutch seamen for higher wages and guarantees of security for their families in case of disaster at sea further held up sail- ing and the ship did not leave Hol- land until Sept., 22. After a jittery voyage from Rotterdameto South- ampton through mine-infested wat- ers the liner sailed for the United States with 1,200 passengers, mostly Americans. In regard to the European situation' at that time, Professor Koella said that there was a powerful feeling among the people of Europe for peace. By FRED VANDERSCHMIDT LONDON, Sept. 30.-(P)-Beneath the deceptive tranquility of an au- tumn weekend, Britains soldiers, sail- ors and statemen worked at war to- night from the North Sea to the Dar- danelles. Millions, bored by sandbags and blackouts, knocked off work early just as always, and headed for the coun- try. They were cheered by news- paper headlines which told them "Anglo-Turkish pact is ready," and by repeated authorized assurances that the Russian-German agreement on Poland and a dictated peace "changes nothing for England."' War held nothing of the thrill of the fleeting "peace in our time" which Prime Minister Chamberlain brought home from Munich just one year ago today. But a steady procession of grey- c 1 a d, troop - jammed transports steamed to France. The might of the fleet held Gemany in a tightening blockade.
