FOUR PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1931 WEATHER: Fair, Slightly Cooler PRICE FIVE CENTS FACULTY MMBERS PROTEST MILLER'S DISMISS A T OHIO Professors Here Demand Study of Case; May Seek His Reinstatement. WANT POLICY OUTLINED Charge Sociologist Lost Place Because He Gave Opinions on Public Issues. Action protesting the dismissal last month of Prof. Herbert A. Mil- ler, of the sociology department of Ohio State university, has been tak- en by members of Michigan's social science departments, it was learned here yesterday. In a petition to the president and the board of trustees of the Ohio institution, 33 faculty members asked that the American Associa- tion of University Professors be given full facilities for investigation of Professor Miller's dismissal, and demanded that he be reinstated if the investigation proved he was dis- missed for expressions of opinion on issues within the field of his special competence. Demand Statement. The petition also urged that Ohio State university authorities issue a statement of policy, explicitly rec- ognizing the right of its faculty members to give opinions on sub- jects in their fields without endan- gering their positions. This action is necessary, the pe- tition stated, in order that the Ohio university may regain public con- fidence "and that its faculty and students may continue the pursuit of truth fearlessly and for its own sake both in the field of tie social sciences and in other fields." Question Motives. The Michigan faculty men point- ed out that Professor Miller's dis- missal appears, from statements of the president, the board of trustees, and the chairman of the sociology department at Ohio State, to have (Continued on Page 3) HOBBS DESCRIBES TNIAGHAACAT Noted Geologist Explains Long Process of Development of Famous District. "The Niagara Gorge about seven miles long is of even greater geo- logical interest than the famous Grand Canyon of the Colorado riv- er," said Prof. William H. Hobbs of the geology department yesterday, lecturing on "The Geology of Niag- ara Falls and Vicinity." Each of these wonders of nature, he pointed out, is of first interest in its class. "But," he continued, "while the cataract draws many people, the gorge for seven miles below it is perhaps of more interest." The gorge he went on to explain, shows to the geologist a long and inter- esting history of the falls. The cat- aract began at the Lewiston es- capement shortly after the retreat of the last ice cap and has since been cut away, leaving below it a gorge seven miles long. The water of the river, pouring over the edge of a layer of lime- stone, creates a great whirlpool which cuts away the soft rock be- neath, undermining that hard lay- er sip that the edge gradually crum- bles away into the pool. Through this action, the cataract has cut the gorge from the Lewiston es- carpment to the present position. At present, he said, the cataract on the Canadian side is cutting back about five feet each year. At the beginning of the Christian era, he estimates, it was about two miles farther down the river. Present indications, he said, are that the Canadian falls are going to cut back and "capture" the American falls, leaving the lime- stone shelf on this side high and Hoover to Be Host to Gatty and Post WASHINGTON, July 2.-(P)- The magic of a dizzying dash around the world opened White House doors to two quiet airmen who six weeks ago passed nearly unnoticed in Washington. President Hoover, in dispatch- ing congratulations to Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, included an invitation to a luncheon. The fliers' representatives accepted for Monday. The President, a globe trotter himself, followed the flight with interest. He has received other- of aviation's daring ambassadors before to talk not so much of flying as of the places they have been. POST, CATTY GIVEN NEW 1YORKOVATION Broadway's Reception Exhausts Holders of New Record. NEW YORK, July 2.-( P)-Wiley Post and Harold Gatty covered to-, day perhaps the most nerve-wrack- ing stretch of their record-smash- ing trip around the world-the six miles between the Battery and Forty-sixth street. With such fierce-sounding places as Blagoveshchensk, Khabarovsk and Novosibirsk behind, they faced the showers of ticker tape and con- fetti, screaming sirens and boat whistles, hurrahs of thousands and the stares of lines of humanity along Broadway and Fifth avenue. Only the Winnie Mae herself, sturdy maid of the world skies, had a chance to take the day quietly. She stood, like a patient charger, in her Roosevelt field hangar, into which she had been rolled when the world-rounding flight ended last night after eight days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. She could have started out and done it all over again, mechanics said; if she'd wanted to. The day began for Harold Gatty, navigator of the flight, when his wife, after a plane-train trip from Glendale, Cal., crept into-his room at his hotel and awakened him with a kiss shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Gatty and Mr. and Mrs. Post, together with Florence C. Hall, millionaire oil man who backed the flight, break- fasted lightly, and then the proces- sion of welcome began.

BRITISH FACE SETBACKS Dutra, Duest, Barron, Williams Seize Lead From Large Field of Favorites. INVERNESS CLUB, Toledo, Ohio, July 3-Four dark horsemen of the American links, unconcerned by the inferno of Inverness and unchecked by its hazards, galloped out in front today to establish a four-cornered tie for the lead in the United States open golf championship. While the British forces experi- enced a series of staggering set- backs and American favorites were struggling to survive the heat wave and stay within striking distance, the quartet of unheralded and un- attended competitors rode the fair- ways to finish in a deadlock with old man par with scores of 71 each for the first 18-hole round of the 72-hole championship chase. The four leaders, Mortie Dutra of Long Beach., Cal., Harold Duest, another Californian now located at Deal, N. J., Herman Barron of Port Chester, New York, and Eddie Wil- liams of Cleveland, took temporary command of the battle to determine the successor to Bobby Jones. Shoot Par. Duest and Williams posted cards of 36 and 35, total 71, while Bar- ron and Detra came in with 35 and 36, total 71, to duplicate exactly the par layout of Inverness. The prime American favorites, though failing to furnish fireworks for the smallest open championship gallery in many years, moved into contending positions after a strug- gle with the rough and the bunkers. On the heels of the four leaders was Al Espinosa, with a 72 that would have been a stroke or two lower but for two putts that rim- med the cup. Favorites Close. Two strokes behind the pace-set- ters, at 73, in addition to tht Brit- ish pair, Robson and Davies, were McDonald Smith, the Scotch styl- ist; Billie Burke, the sharpshooter from Greenwich, Conn., who star- red at Scioto last week; Joe Tur- nesa and Henry Ciuc ,of the me- tropolitan New York group; and Frank Walsh of Chicago. Gene Sarazen and Walter Hag- en each posted 74, serving warning of their challenge to retain cham- pionship honors. A stroke behind them came Tommy Armour, the British open champion, whose 75 represented a shaky start and put him alongside Leo Diegel and George Von Elm, two of the Wets Coast's star entries. Light-horse Harry Cooper registered 76, Horton Smith 77, while Danny Shute of Cleveland and John Golden of Pat- erson, N. J., damaged their pros- pects with 79 each.

MATHIEU BEATEN Cilli Aussem Favored to Win Women's Title; Americans Lose Men's Doubles. LONDON, July 2--(P)- For the first time in the history of Wimble- don championship tennis play, two German girls will face each other across the net tomorrow for the women's title on which Suzannet Lenglen and Mrs. Helen Wills Moo- dy held lease so long. This was determined today as1 Hilda Krahwinkel, a feminine Frank X. Shields in stature, defeat-I ed Helen Jacobs, 10-8, 6-4, in a startling upset and Cilli Aussem disposed of Mme. Rene Mathieu, France's last representative in sin- gles play, 6-0, 2-6, 6-3. Miss Aussem, although lacking the stature and strength of her1 countrywoman, is an exponent of a varied and subtle game and is fa- vored to defeat Miss Krahwinkel. Sad Day for U. S. It was a sad day for America in every department of play except the mixed doubles. Frank X. Shields limping from his injury of yester-.. day, and Sidney B. Wood, Jr., were< eliminated in the semi-finals of the1 men's doubles by Henri Cochet and1 Jacques Brugnon, of France, 6-4,c 7-5, 6-2. Both American youngsters seem-t ed to be saving themselves for their all-American final in men's singles Saturday. Lott, Harper Win. In the mixed doubles George Lott, Jr., and Mrs. L. A. Harper advanced; to the semi-final round by victories over Baron Von Kehrling and Mrs. Satterthwaite, 6-3, 6-4, in the fourth, round and E. Maier and Miss Adam- off, 6-2, 6-4, 6-4, in the quarter finals. MURP HNORSES' DETROITDOLE CUT Council Overrides Mayor's Veto of Resolution Closing Lodging Places. DETROIT, July 2.-(AP)-The De- troit Council's decision to make a sharp cut in the city's deficit ex- penditures for public welfare relief during the present fiscal year was indorsed today by Mayor Murphy when he appeared at a hearing be- fore the council. After the hearing the council, in a formal session, unanimously over- rode the Mayor's veto of its resolu- tion closing the city's lodging houses for homeless men. This means that the lodges must close at once. Mayor Murphy said that, al- though he agreed that the welfare department should be held down to what the city can afford to spend, the department itself should be al- lowed to bring in a study of what can be done. Then, he said, the Community Fund and the indus- trialists should be acquainted with the exact situation. RELIEF REACHES CENTRAL STATES Heat Wave Moves Eastward to Appalachian Region. The heat wave that scorched the Middle West for more than a week moved eastward Thursday into the Appalachian region. Western Pennsylvania, Western New York and parts of Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky felt the scorch of a pitiless sun as the cen- tral states grew comfortable again under clouded skies and occasional showers. It was still hot in the most of the Southwest. Thunderstorm conditions moving down the Atlantic seaboard gave some relief and threatened to break up the heat wave before it reached the coast. Thermometers in the Middle West that htd held monotonously to 90 and 100 degree readings for a week fell down to 70 and 80 Thursday, and the sun-baked pop- ulace considered it cool. LBOITES STAG E FIGHT INCOMMONS. Ministry Escapes From Defeat by Narrow Margin on Tax Amendment. LONDON, July 3.-(J)-A rough and tumble fight, unprecedented for more than a quarter of a cen- tury, took place today in the staid old House of Commons, "Mother of Parliaments," when left-wing La- borites resisted the suspension of one of their members. Later, after order was restored, the government escaped defeat by only five votes on an amendment to the Snowden land tax bill which would have exempted Garden City and Garden Suburb from the tax. Several Liberals voted against the government. The trouble was ended after the offending member, J. McGovern of Shettleston, Glasgow, who had de- fied the Speaker, was removed bodily from his seat and ejected. Throughout most of the fight, which was between half a dozen left-wing Laborites and attendants, the Conservative members s a t aghast and thunderstruck. The disturbance arose over the preaching of the gospel on Glas- glow Green. - McGovern asked if the Secretary of State for Scotland was prepared to investigate the ar- rest of four lay preachers for a breach of the city law forbidding meetings on'the green. Dissatisfied with the Secretary's reply that he would investigate, McGovern remained on his feet de- spite shouts of "Order!" from the Conservatives. Chicago Civic Opera Shows Million Loss CHICAGO, July 2.-(P)-A loss of $1,079,473.06 by. the Chicago Civic Opera company for its 13 weeks of operations in the Civic Opera House last fall and winter, was reported today. The figure was estimated to be nearly twice as much as the amount subscribed by the com- pany's guarantors. Samuel Insull, one of the company's sponsors, said the difference between the loss and the payments made by the guaran- tors was made up by advances from the Chicago Music Foundation.1 Chicago Employes Put on 5-Day Week Scale CHICAGO, July 2.-(JP)-Mayor Anton Cermak had today ordered that 7,245 city employes who are, paid by the day be placed on a five- day week basis. He also instruct- ed department heads that they must cut at least 10 percent from their annual expenses, which does not include salaries and wages. With a plan for payless vaca- tions now pending before the city council finance committee, it was estimated by city officials that the retrenchments ordered would save the city about $5,000,000 out of its n700.00 budget for 1931. FRENCH ASSENT TO HOOVER PLAN EXPECTED TODAY, R e a c h Understanding on Major Issues, Is Report. BASIS FAVORABLE Great Britain, France Near Young Plan Agreement. PARIS, July 3. ()-Settlement on a very favorable basis of the Franco - American negotiations centering about President Hoo- ver's proposed war debt holiday was expected tonight. Although no official announce- ment was likely before tomorrow, it was learned from reliable sourc- es that an understanding had been reached on certain of the outstand- ing issues on which the French and American viewpoints disagreed. This information was that France has agreed to give Germany more than five years to refund a loan based on,- the unconditional repara- tions, and that ten or more years probably would be granted. May Make Loan. France also was said to have re- considered her suggestion that some of this money be loaned to Jugo- slavia and other small European nations. It was learned also that France and Great Britain are approaching an agreement on the guarantee fund under the Young plan. This was one of the points about which France was most concerned. Conference Delayed. A conference scheduled for to- night between Secretary Mellon and the French representatives in the negotiations was postponed this afternoon so that Mr. Mellon and Ambassador Edge might confer with Washington on counter-pro- posals submitted by the French government. The French proposals were draft- ed today at a special meeting of the cabinet, with President Doumer at- tending. An announcement by Great Brit- ain of her "willingness" to call a conference of the most interested nations had no apparent effect on the de' rmination of the French and American representatives to continu- the negotiations. CHINESENAINALS PREPAREFOR RA~Y Chiang Kai Shek Moves Against Cantonese Insurgents in Kwangtung. HONG KONG, July 2.-(A)- The vanguard of President Chiang Kai- Shek's Nationalist army today reached the border of Kwangtung province, domain of the new insur- gent government formed at Canton. The advance column was expect- ed to await the arrival of the main army before attempting an inva- sion of insurgent territory. Although President Chiang is- sued a proclamation saying his of- fensive would start July 1, there has been no fighting thus far. Can- ton forces expect a clash any time. In announcing his Kiangsi expe- dition, Chiang made no direct men 'tion of fighting the southern xe- gime and indicated his campaign would be against the outlaws in the province adjoining Kwangtung on the north. His forces are said to number about 250,000. JStevenson Made Head of Education Society F. G.
