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 (Continued on Page 3) Stanford To Debate Varsity Tomorrow Bills Appears In Methodist '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 Music Faculty Presents Finalf Concert Today 'On Wenlock Edge' To Be Featured Presentation.;i Many Will Take Part Featuring ."On Wenlock Edge" by, Vaughan Williams, eight membersi of the School of Music faculty will of- fer the last Faculty Concert of the ; year at 4:15 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.

'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.

The panels on "Post-War Recon- struction" and "America During De- fense" will be headed by Edward Fried, '41, and Harold Osterweil, '41, respectively while' Harold Guetzgow, Grad., will chair the panel on "Edu- cation During Emergency."

Human Rights Depend On Private Enterprise, Former Envoy Says the Nazi political command, not an 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. The British, slow as always to comment upon such fleeting devel- opments of the new history, caUi- tiously observed-this through the British Press Association-that Rus- sia's action at the very least indi- cated an intention to throw a clip- lomatic log before the progress of the German machine in the Bal- kans.

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, 651." 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, 1930, during my term of office, Mr. Staebler pointed out, they will observe that on that date the Council voted to establish a new accounting and tYYYlI 19 h frYCI'h M iff1- - - -- tN f 9 By BERNARD DOBER 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
