By DON WIRTCHAFTER
Mighty Michigan, long-standing
ruler of the swimming world, has fal-
len.
A bare six inches of arm-torn water
plus the sensational Chicago Towers
Club duo of Otto Jaretz and Adolph
Kiefer, blasted the Wolverines from
their National AAU throne in the
meet's final five events last night at
the I-M pool and handed Matt Mann
his first defeat since Michigan lost
to Ohio State in the Big Tens two
years ago.
All told, strapping Stanley Braun-
inger's star-packed forces rolled up
a 44-point total while Michigan's Na-
tional Collegiate champions trailed
in second place with 36 points. Strict-
ly a two team affair, the rest of the
field was left far in the rear.
Defeated Inspite Of Battle
Michigan went down, but not with-
out one of the greatest battles in
AAU history. The eight-point differ-
ence between the Wolverines and
their conquerors indeed fails to tell
the tale of the breath-taking medley
relay race that closed the show last
night. With three teams qualified for
the finals, Michigan retained a slim
chance of tying for the meet title
by placing first, third and fourth in
the grand finale.
Kiefer started Chicago's triumph
parade in the medley by backstroking
the century in :57.9 to give breast-
stroker George Lowe a six-foot lead
over Jim Skinner of the Michigan A
team and John Sharemet of the B
trio.
Skinner with a brilliant 1:02.8 lap
carried the Wolverine team back into
a four foot lead as Jaretz and Gus
Sharemet began battling it out in
the final leg for a Michigan tie or
a Chicago Towers victory.
Streaking out like a bolt of light-
ning, the "Great Gusto" gave it all
he had, but phenomenal Jaretz more
than matched Gus' long-flying arms.
Fighting it out, stroke for stroke, the
Michigan lead was cut to but two
f feet with 50-yards left to go.
Outstanding Swimmer r
There they were, Jaretz, named
the meet's outstanding swimmer who
swain :51.2 in the afternoon's century
wealth of potentiality in his power-
ful body, roaring head and head into
the stretch.
In a final burst that carried him
to the line in :50.8 seconds, the Chi-
cago star lunged to the wall with
Michigan's hopes falling to the water
just six inches back. The winning
time was 2:55.4 with the Wolverine
B and C teams finishing third and
fourth.
It didn't take long to convince the
capacity crowd that Michigan was in
for trouble last night. The very first
event on the card, the 100-yard free-
style, dropped the Wolverines ten
points behind their powerful rivals.
Once again it was Jaretz, the 19-
year-old wonder boy with a Greg Rice
chest, that provided the pack behind

'Crucifixion'
(By The Associated Press)
An order for a work stoppage at
plants of the U. S. Steel Corporation
went out last night to CIO steel
workers.
CIO President Philip Murray said
that effective midnight Tuesday there
would be a "cessation of work" which
he asserted was "caused by a lock-
out."
At that time the company's con-
tract with the CIO will expire. On
March 20 the union asked for a new
contract providing for an increase
of 10 cents an hour for 281,000 work-
ers, a union shop, checkoff collection
of union dues, liberalized vacations
with pay and seniority rights. The
company included in a counter-pro-'
posal an offer of a 2112 cent an hour

Remington
Wins Jubilee
Contest Award
Triumphing over ninety-six schol-
arly and curious entries to the Mich-
elodeon Why For contest, Lloyd Rem-
ington, '41, won the ten dollar prize
yesterday with his profound explana-
tion of why the Spring Jubilee was
named Michelodeon.
'In 1041 A.D. the Vikings, on a
night in Erin, captured the fiery'
headed hero Michelodeon (nicknamed
Mike). Being a hero, Mike escaped
into Finland where he married a
heroine and became the father of
the illustrious Micky Finn. To cele-
brate that important event, we are
holding 'Michelodeon.'."
Questioned after he received the
prize at the Bunny Hop last night,
Remington admitted that he came
upon the solution while writing up
the thirty-third outside reading re-
port in Prof. P. Z. Snoogles' course
in Finnish Folklor-e.
Remington, who holds an M.A.,
P.D.Q. and C.C.C. in graduate folk-
lore, realized that the name Mich-
elodeon has deeper subleties than the
obvious interpretation connotates. He
pointed out that the Finnish Mich-
elodeon story is similar to story forms
found in the literature of many peo-
ples.
The Michelodeon Why For contest
was sponsored by the WAA and ,the
Union executive board. The Spring
Jubilee will be held May 2 and 3 in
Waterman and Barbour Gymnasika.

attack upon "the Greek people'," not
upon the Southeastern order but di-
rected solely at the policy of striking
Britain wherever it forces appeared.
Upon Greece the assault wa;
launched from the frontier with Ger-
man-ocupied Bulgaria; Yugoslavia's
frontier was breached by Nazis from
Austria, Hungary and Rumania.
There was even a'suggestion that the
troops of those minor German part-
ners had joined in the attack.
, British Join Greeks
British troops were understood to
have gone into the line with the
Greeks to defend the vital Struma
River Valley. Yugoslav troops stood in
undetermined strength against the
expected Nazi lunge in the southeast
-a maneuver which would be in-
tended to turn the Greek-British
position along the Struma line.
It all happened with a breathless
suddenness, for all the fact that
it had long been foreshadowed in
Greece's stubborn resistance against
the Italians and Yugoslavia's equally
stubborn refusal to submit to the Ger-
man-dominated Axis.
It was just at dawn that the Ger-
man legions-division upon division
equipped with all the steel of blitz-
krieg-plunged ,against the Greeks
and Yugoslavs.
The Nazi high command took the
grave decision-one of many that
have been made in the traditionhl
quiet of the week-end-a few hours
after the Russians, their erstwhile
partners however silent, had made a
compact with the Yugoslavs which
clearing seemed designed to try to
dissuade away just' such a step.
Meaning Unknown
Just what this pact really Meant
remained unknown. On the face of it,
the Russians had made a treaty of
riendship and non-aggression, pre-
sumably containing no promise of
military assistance, but certainly of-
fering no comfort to those who listen
quietly to the thunder of martial mu-
sic in Berlin.

comment upon such fleeting devel-
opments of the new history, caUi-
tiously observed-this through the
British Press Association-that Rus-

burned to a new intensity yesterday
when Edward W. Staebler, former
Democratic mayor of Ann Arbor, de-
clared that several statements of the
accomplishments which the Republi-
can Party claimed to have made "do
not correspond to the facts."
Most of the statement, which were
printed in the Ann Arbor News of
April 3, poihted out improvements
and reforms that were supposedly
made by the Republicans following
the defeat of Mr. Staebler in 1931.
"Just to keep the record straight," Mr.
Staebler explained in a statement is-
sued yesterday morning, "I should
like to call attention to some of the
errors in the Republican platform."
the City at that time was entirely in
the black and had $105,597 in the
bank. "The 'overdraft' the Republi-1
can erroneously refer to," he said,
was an overdraft of State, county
and school funds (which are col-
lected by the City treasurer) of $358,

He added that "The Republicans
also claim credit for establishing 'a
complete auditing and accounting
system . . . in order that the finances
of the city may be administered on
a sound, business-like basis."' If the
Republican authors of this platform
will examine the minutes of the Com-
mon Council meeting of April 10,

We can't create a post-war system
in which justice, liberty and human
rights will develop unless private en-
terprize returns to the commercial
policy for the creation of wealth
and increases the volume of trade,
The Honorable William S. Culberston,
former Ambassador to Chile, told
members of the Thirteenth Annual
School of Business Administration
Conference at a banquet yesterday
in the Union.
There are three methods by which
we can assist future investments in a
post-war economy, Culbertson point-
ed out; these are: the stabilization of
currency on the gold standard; the
industrialization of many nations to
increase their wealth creation and
purchasing power; the legal security
for the flow of capital between na-
tions.
Commercial policies of aggression,
America and in other parts of the
world, and Japan is trying to consol-
idate her position in China, Culbert-
son pointed out. If these countries
pursue this policy, we should not
fall behind in our effort to consoli-
date the position of the United States
for the world trade of the future.
At the General Session which was
held in the morning, Prof. H. F. Tag-
gart, now on leave as Chief Cost Ac-
countant in the Council of National
Defense, discussed some of the work
of the Price Stabilization Division.
At present, he said, this division is
pursuing two general attacks: speci-
fying measures broadly aimed at
prices and commodity control in gen-
eral, and a series of measures aimed
at demand aspects of individual com-
modities.
Chances for the success of this
organization, Taggart declared, are
better now than they were in the
