Breidenbach Sets
Half Mile Record
By BOB STAHL
Starting off in high gear and gain-
ing added momentum in every event
the powerful'Wolverine track jugger-
naut rolled over a hard-striving crew
of invaders from Ohio State at Ferry
Field yesterdlay to the-.tune of a lop-
sided score of 90-41.
Setting a new dual meet record in
one event, Michigan gave up first
place in only four contests and proved
that it will offer plenty of opposi-
tion to Indiana, the Big Ten indoor
champions, in the Conference meet
at Minneapolis next weekend.
Warren Breidenbach, Michigan's
ace midde-distance runner, cap-
tured the spotlight honors for yester-
day. Entered in the half-mile Breid-
enbach set a new dual meet record
of 1:52.4 seconds, which is also the
fastest time this distance has ever
been covered by a Michigan varsity
runner. Buckeye Capt. Les Eisen-
hatwas withdrawn from the list of
entrnts in the 880 just before the
race started and Breidenbach's early
lead was never threatened by the
others, which, coupled with the fact
that he was bucking a strong wind all
the way makes his feat utill more
;impressive.
The Buckeyes' speedy blond timber-
topper, Bob Wright, gained individual
scoring honors for the day, leading
the field to the tape in both the
high and low hurdles. Wright had it
all his own way in the highs, coming
in several yards ahead of' Michigan's
Frank McCarth 'n the smaller

Wolverines Smash
Illinois, 72
By ART HILL
Wally Roettger,. Illinois baseball
coach, sent two pitchers to the mound
in an attempt to make it two in a
row over Michigan yesterday but he
made the mistake of using the best
hurler in a relief role after the Wol-
verines had already clinched a '7-2
victory. ,
Johnny Drish, who started for the
Illini, was ineffective and the locals
cuffed him for six hits and six runs
before he retired with none out in
the sixth. He was relieved by-Chuck
Campbell who set the Wolverines
down without a hit in the last three
innings, fanning six of the last seven
men to face him.
The Wolverines were paced by the
slugging of Dick Wakefield who
rapped a home run and a single, the
ir uit clout coming in the third in-
ning with one aboard to give Michi-
gan ai 3-2 lead which they never re-
linquished. It was a trenmendous
drive, the longest hit ever made at
Ferry Field, according to Ray Fish-
er, the Michigan coach.
Mickey Stoddard, who went the
distance on' the hill for Michigan,
gave up seven hits and three walks
but none of the bingles was good for
more than one base. He was never in
trouble except in the second inning
when the visitors made both their
runs.
Michigan scored first, pushinig a

Varsity Netters
Win Over Ohio State
By DICK SIMON
Coach Leroy Weir's varsity netters
continued to play excellent tennis
as they garnered their sixth straight
Conference win by soundly trounc-
ing Ohio State's heretofore unbeaten
squad, 7-2, yesterday on. the Palmer
Field courts.
It was the Wolverines' 12th victory
in 13 starts and their ninth consecu-
tive triumph of the season. North
Carolina is the only team that has
been able to register a victory over
the Maize and Blue and that came
early during the southern campaign.
Jerry Rosenthal, number three man
of the Buckeyes, helped account for
both of Ohio State's points by beat-
ing Jim Porter in singles, 6-1, 6-1,
and then teaming with John Lewis.

Conducts Final Concert
As May Festival Ends
READERS OF THE DAILY will have noticed that since the new editors
have taken over, the word "acking" has not been used to describe the
Regents' by-law which increases faculty-alumni voting power on the Pub-
lications Board as compared to student members from a 4-3 ratio to an
8-3 ratio.
The reason is not that the new editors do not feel that such a Board
will be dominated by the older generation-Prof. Axel Marin, who headed
the University Council committee which drafted the revision, frankly tells
us that he believes it must be so-but rather because the word "packing"
connotes motives on the part of the committee to stifle student expression
in The Daily. Such is not the case, we think, so we have written this edi-
torial to discuss the issues, not impugn the motives, behind the reorgan-
zation plan.
FRANKLY, the editors believe that The Daily and the student body which
elects the student members to the Publications Board are intended to
become the wards of a benevolent dictatorship of the older generation.
According to Professor Marin the new faculty dominated Board would
not, interfere with the expression of student opinion except to require ad-
herence to The Daily code of ethics. The editors believe Professor Marin
and the Council committee in what they say, but we should like to ask,
first, why must a faculty dominated Board administer a code of ethics
formulated by students to govern themselves-and, is not the present
Publications Board of three students and four'faculty members capable of
seeing that the editors "toe the line" of the code of ethics? That's the
question we asked Professor Marin. Keep it in mind as we discuss his
answers.
* ~ * * *
THE DAILY CODE OF ETHICS was formulated by the two preceding
senior staffs together after there had been some complaints about
Daily practices. It was drawn up by students to regulate themselves, and
the direct responsibility for living up to it has been assumed as an im-
portant part of the senior editors' job.
Last fall the senior editors were charged with violating a portion of
the code, and were duly censured by the present Publications Board of
three students and four faculty. All members of the Board voted the
editors guilty, though the student members favored a more moderate pun-
ishment than was subsequently administered. Here, as in the overwhelm-
ing majority of the Board's actions, the decision was a result of the com-
bined intelligence of students and faculty.
Why then should such a set-up be abandoned, and for it be substituted
a Board of six faculty, three students and two alumni?
THE FIRST REASON that the Council committee gives is that the facul-
ty are more "mature" than the students. Yet in fact the question of
faculty or student maturity per se has never arisen in the Publications
Board. Both faculty and student members of the Board have told us
that the overwhelming majority of the Board's decisions have not been
along faculty-student lines. The question as to who is more "mature"
on the Board is simply not a germane question. And if, in that very ex-
ceptional case, students and faculty do disagree with each other as a body,
the faculty will have the say every time as the Board is now constituted.
The second reason given for the change further develops our thesis
that fundamentally there is, and need not be, any abyss between the inter-
ests of the faculty and students if only they be allowed to discuss these in-
terests on a basis of equality. The committee says that The Daily property
is owned by the University, and that The Daily is taken to a degree as the
opinion of the University. But who may we ask is'the University? Is it
solely the faculty? No, and neither is it solely students and alumni, but,
rather, all of them together constitute the institution of the University.
Though it has not been sufficiently recognized, the students have as much
of a vested interest in the welfare of the University as do the faculty. Why
then should it be implied that they will misuse University property, or why
imply that students will misrepresent that University by word of mouth
or through a college newspaper. Such a situation is conceivable only if
students are made to feel that they are not a part of the University, that
they are only wards to be handled by a faculty who must dominate them.
Not only may students curse the University under their breath in such a
situation, but others may too-for example the state-wide distributed De-
troit newspapers-who are more antagonistic when they feel they must
deal with an institution dominated by faculty alone, rather than a faculty-
student controlled endeavor such as the Michigan Daily.
WHEN PROFESSOR MARIN was asked why he thought more students.
should not be added to the Board if, as it was suggested, more faculty
were added to "achieve additional viewpoints," he said that he thought
three students adequately represented the viewpoints of students. Why
four faculty do not sufficiently represent approximately 800 of their
number, and three students sufficiently represent about 11,000 students

Informal Polls Indicate
Anti-Convoy Pr op os al
Lacks Majority Vote
Senator Stands Pat
Despiteoppositiqu
By JACK BELL
WASHINGTON, Mpy 10.-UP)-
Some backers of the Tobey Anti-
Convoy Resolution conceded today
'that it faced almost certain defeat
and undertook to dissuade the author,
Senator Tobey (Rep-NH), from press-
ing it to a Senate vote.
With informal polls indicating that
supporters could muster less than 40
votes for the proposal, Senator Nye
(Rep-ND) told reporters he was
"afraid it hasn't a chance."
Nye said he was attempting to con-
vince Tobey that he ought not to
offer the resolution as an amend-
ment to an Administration-sponsored
bill which would permit the govern-
ment to take over dile foreign ships in
American harbors.
Tobey, however, was reported
standing pat on his announced inten-
tion of following this course despite
indications that such leading op-
ponents of convoys of Senator Wheel-
er (D-Mont) and Johnson (Rep-
Calif) also opposed the move.
A development expected to figure
extensively in the Senate debate on
the ship bill was a disclosure that
Chairman Emory S. Land of the
Maritime Commission had advised
the Senate Commerce Committee that
some seized ships might be put to
use under their own crews, but with
American guards aboard.
Land also told the committee last
Thursday that some of the foreign
ships might be chartered "and used
in the blackout area if they run un-
der their own flag."
He said, however, that no ships
with American guards - to be Navy
or coast guardsmen - would be
sent into the war zone.
The testimony made public by the
Senate Committee did not elaborate
on the possible use of ships under
their regular crews. It was discovered,
however, that some Danish seamen
had volunteered to sail in American
trade. The American guards'presum-
ably would be aboard such ships to
assure that they were not sailed to
Axis ports.
The split among opponents of con-
voys over whether an attempt should
be made to attach the Tobey Reso-
lution to the ships bill was widespread.

A crescendo of applause rang down
on Jascha Heifetz, famed violinist,
yesterday after his rendition of the
difficult and seldom-played Concerto
in D minor, b'ut it failed to draw the
expected encore.
After the violinist had been called
back again and again, he finally ap-
peared on the stage without his in-
strument and the audience *vas
balked.
But all was not lost as far as the
audience was concerned. The last
note of Sibelius' First Symphony had
scarcely died away, when a deafening
ovation began and did not stop until
Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the
Philadelphia Orchestra, held up his
hand for silence.
"I know you all want an encore,"E
Ormandy told the expectant 5,000
people, "and you shall have one." The
encore proved to be the popular "Fin-
landia" and the music lovers went
home happy.
Pretty Jarmila Novotna made a hit
with the audience at the evening con-
cert and Tenor Charles Kullman, as
Lenski, in Tschaikovsky's Episodes
from "Eugene Onegin," drew a good
round of applause for his perfor-
mance.
The male members of the Univer-
sity Choral Union, wearing formal at-
tire and sitting three-deep in the rear
of the stage, made a colorful con-
trast with the women who occupied
both sides in, various evening gowns.
Thor Johnson took the podium to
lead the Philadelphia Orchestra in
the final concert. The final flourish
of his baton concluded this year's
May Festival series.

'Flying Grandmother'

BLYTHBE, Calif., May 10.-)-
Raiders Downed
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, May 11.-Roaring fires
set by hordes of Nazi bombers en-
gulfed whole blocks in London this
morning and a gray pall of smoke
hung over the battered city as dawn
brought an end to a deadly reprisal
raid in which the British said 33
German warplanes were shot down,
The raiders, racing through bril-
liantly moonlit skies, appeared short-
ly after midnight and loosed thous-
ands of incendiaries -and their biggest
explosives on the capital in one of the
hardest assaults of the war. The all
clear sounded just before dawn, after
six hours of bombs.
Dazed Londoners watched firemen
battle to stem the march of the greedy
flames set by the raiders but whole
blocks of buildings blaed skyward
with gigantic roars and columns of
smoke mounted into the sky to cover
the bombed sections with a funereal
pall.
The full moon which lighted the
heavens, was an ally of the raiders
but proved a good hunting compan
ion for the night fighters, too, the
British said, crediting them with bag-
ging 31 Nazi warplanes during the
night. Anti-aircraft guns got two
others, bringing to 124 the total of
raiding planes shot down at night
thus far in May.
With casualties mounting, large
concentrations of the Luftwaffe raged
for several hours across the sky un-
der the light of a full moon, start-
ing fires and then raining explosives
into the very center of the flames.
A stiff breeze billowed smoke,
flames and sparks across the metro-
polis, clouding the brilliant moon
which reached full stage this morning.
The sound of the zooming planes,
the incendiaries and the blasting
orce of bombs from huge Molotov
'askets felt hundreds of yards away
made the night hideous for the
empire capital.
The RAF night fighters, who have
bagged a major share of the 124 Ger-
man bombers shot down so far at
night this month, played a part in
attempting to break the full force of
the Nazi attack. Their spluttering
nachine guns were frequently heard
amidst the roar of the planes and
bombs.,
