PRICE FIVE CENTS International Law Parleys ArPe .Success Students, Faculty Praise Conferences Sponsored By Carnegie Endowment May Be Repeated Here Next Summer Seminars,, Concluded Yes- terday, Draw Approval Of Famous Professors The first Conference for Teachers of International Law, which conclud- ed a five-week session yesterday, was a marked sUccess, in the opinion of most of the students and faculty at- tending. The Conference was the first of its kind ever held in the world, and was sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for Intern"- tional Peace." Dr. James Brown Scott, director of the division of international law of the Endowment, held the conference to be an unqualified success, and hoped it would be held here again ' next year. The likelihood of the Con- ferenc'e's being held here after that depends on its equal success next year, Wilson Explains Method Prof. George Grafton Wilson, of Harvard university, declared that the experiment seemed to have justified the generosity of the Endowment and the hospitality of the University.

The faculty and ystu- dents of the session, as also the citizens of Ann Arbor, have fol- lowed with utmost interest the progress of the Conference. They have appreciated especially the opportunity of attending the var- ious public lectures given by the distinguished leaders of the Con- ference. We have been made more conscious of the gravity of some of our world problems and of the urgent need for international peace. We sincerely hope that the Conference may become an annu- al feature of the summer activities of the University." Dean Edward H. Kraus An 'intense interest in politics on the part of German students is due to two factors, German tradition and changed conditions in Germany, ac- cording to Dr. Werner. Heisenberg, of the University of Leipzig. In these two reasons he accounts for the dif- ferent views - on politics held by American and German university students. "Politics are much more import- ant to us," he said. "In many cases it rests with the government wheth- er we live or not. Some students have only $10 a month to live on, so you can see how vital government is, to them. When times are bad, as at present, our very existence de- pends ,on the politics of the nation. "There has also been a tradition since 1870 among students. At that time they were all enthusiastic about Bismarck and the New Germany in the nationalistic sense. That tradi- tion has continued. The interest has been centered in the nationalistic side of politics because most stu- dents come from families of that side. They are sons of middle class' families, all of whom have strong nationalist tendencies. There are us- ually nosons of the working or la- boring classes, wvao belong to the left wing of politics."1 Dr. Heisenberg minimized t h e Doumer Slayer Is Condemned T o Guillotinef Spectators Cheer Verdict;' Dr. Gorguloff Has Three Days to Appeal Case PARIS, July 27.-(AP)-The strange Dr. Paul Gorguloff, who as- sassinated President Paul Doumer, of France,'nearly three months ago to promote a nebulous Franco-Russian war, was convicted 'of murder today and sentenced to the guillotine. Spectators cheered the verdict of a jury that found the Russian had slain the beloved Pere of France and that his act was premeditated. The jury was out 35 minutes and its vote was' 10 to 2. Unanimity is not required under French law. The prisoner was given three days to appeal. The final scenes of the trial whichl had lasted most of this week, were1 dramatic, with Dr. Gorguloff scream- ing in rage at intervals. "Take my life," he shouted, when the Court ruled against the defense in one instance. "Lay me on thel guillotine!, The French Government has killed my ideal and my party. I am a living corpse. I do not want to live!" 'then as the verdict was read:l "Shoot me -with a gun like a sol- dier," he cried. "Do not guillotine} me!" His wife was among the witnesses today. Nearing childbirth, she wasE too weak to go to the stand alone.E She told how she and her husbandt had attended a movie a few dayst before he left Monaco for Paris. Dr. Gurguloff applauded a news reel ofa President Doumer, and told her he admired him., BASEBALL SCORES American League Philadelphia 13-4,LDetroit 8-0. Cleveland 2-12, New York 1-10.

"The students being so strongly na- tionalistic," he declared, "they na- turally go to Hitler as the center of this group. But there is no trouble if the professors do, not boast too freely of their opinions. Seventy to eighty per cent of the students are Hitlerites, and the faculty are usu- ally more conservative. One example of an extreme case was at Halle, where a professor of theology, who was of course a pacifist, said that war was murder. The students riot- ed. They are very sensitive, and the great danger lis in the fact that they dislike facts or books about war as it is. They prefer to think of it in an atmosphere of glamorous brav- ery. But when one has seen some- thing of war, as older people have, things look -different." Dr. Heisenberg then commented on t h e German Reichstag elections which will take place Sunday. "Dur- ing the past five years," he said, "conditions have grown worse, so that the parties representing the rich have lost ground. Now we really have two .groups-the nationalists and the socialists. Hitler organized the poor nationalists. Now the na- tionalists have control of the govern-t ment, but not Hitler. Th'e cabinet is1 connected with the agricultural Jun- ker class, and differs from Hitler so that I cannot see how the average Hitlerite can stand for this govern- ment. It is quite possible that Hit-i ler will lose this election if his sup-1 porters do not approve of the gov-. ernment, as he apparently does. Itt will be interesting to note the reac- tion of hishfollowers to Von Papen. There is the possibility of a dicta- torship being established," he con-c cluded, "if Hitler loses the election to the Von Papen elements." Xerxep' Harem Is Excavated by Ch1"icago Party, Expedition Uncovers HallE Of a Hundred Columns Built by Artaxerxes CHICAGO, July 27.-(AP)-The harem queens of Xerxes, were they1 living, would be a blessing.I For in the six golden apartments; of the favorites of the ancient Per-I sian ruler in the palace of PersepolisI now are quartered members of theI Persian expedition of the Oriental institute of the University of Chi- cago. The excavators, besides unearthinga the home of Xerxes and various Da'iruses, before him, have uncover-I ed the hall of a hundred columns, build by Artaxerxes I, son of Xer- xes. They also found beeath the har- em of the palace an old Persian cun- eiform inscription of forty lines, re- cording the life, ancestry ai'd profes- sion of Xerxes. Deemed of highest importance in reconstructing the Persia of old, the discoveries were announced by Dr. James Breasted, director of tiie, In- stitute. Hundreds Hear Opening Summer Band Concert' The campus in front of the Library was thronged last night with stu- dents who assembled to hear the first program presented by the University summer band, ,under the direction of Nicholas Falcone. Reduce Armis Indiana Senator Demands Cut as Preliminary to Conference on Debts Fears Money Would' Go for Armaments Edge Tells Herriot Basis Of U. S. Debt Reduction Lies on Limitation WASHINGTON, July 27.-(AP)-- Actual disarmament by Europe was demanded today by Senator Watson, of Indiana, the Republican leader. as a preliminary to any world eco- nomic conference on war debts and reparations such as proposed by Sen- ator Borah, of Idaho. "It is unthinkable," said Watson in a formal statement, "that we should permit them (the European nations) to keep the money they owe us to enable them to build up larger military establishments on the Continent and, as far, as we can see' that is their plan and purpose." Herriot, Told U. S. Demand Coincidentally, Ambassador Edge in Paris today informed Premier Herriot that the basis of co-opera- tion between the countries lies in disarmament. It was evident tonight at the Cap- itol that the Administration is not going to take the initiative for downward revision of the war' debts owed the United States and will de- mand drastic European disarma- ment as its price. However, Admin- istration interest in the international situation and Borah's proposal for a world economic parley was mani- fested by a conference last night be- tween Secretary Stimson and Borah. Both declined to comment today on the talk. Senator Watson said he had not talked with President Hoover on the Borah plan, but his stand was expected to put a chock under the wheels of the world conference move- ment pending fresh disarmament moves abroad. Mellon Reports on Lausanne Meanwhile, Secretary M e 11 o n reached the White House from his London post. He emphasized that an international confe ence would be almost impossible be ore autumn because of the British Imperial Par- ley now in progress at Ottawa. He declined to comment on the proposal otherwise. The former Treasury head deliv- ered a first hand report to the Presi- dent and Secretary' Stimson on the European situation, including the re- cent Lausanne conference which reached an agreement for the vir- tual elimination of reparations. Says Scene, Design Is Little Improved Over Renaissance Alexander Wyckoff, art director for the Repertory Players and for- merly art director for the Manhat- tan Theatre colony, told an invited group of students and theatregoers yesterday that the improvement in scene design has been slight since the Renaissance. The concentration of everything on the scenery was the thing during the Renaissance. Today, he said, our scenery is around the set in relation to the actor. During the early per- iod scenery was first moved, thus bringing it before the audience. That is something we should do, he said. Mr. Wyckoff believes that we need more scene changing during the con- tinuance of the show, instead of turning on lights, dropping curtains and holding intermissions. During the Renaissance they must have gone on ;with the show with- out stopping, he said, since no cur- tain was used, and the sets, number- ing 15 or 16 for a play, were moved before the eyes of the audience. The necessity of learning to do better scene painting was stressed. (Associated Press Photo) Plans to make a westward air crossing of the Atlantic have been announced by Baron Von Schleich (left), "black knight" of the German flying corps during the World war, and Major Christopher Draper (right), known as the "mad major" of the wartime British royal flying I corps. rrlrw r r i Hobbs Leads Excursion a To Put-in-Bay Friday Students who are planning to go on the Put-in-Bay trip will have their last opportunity to sign up for the trip -at room 9, University hall, this afternoon. The party will leave for Put-in-Bay .at 7:30 tomorrow morning from the North University entrance of Natural Science building. In an interview yesterday Prof. William Hobbs, of the geology de- partment, who willslead the party, characterized the island as one of the most interesting places for tour- ists in this part of the country be- cause of the shoreline formations and the famous caves. The celestite formations in Crystal , cave, Prof. Hobbs said, are among the most in- teresting phenomena to be found. anywhere. The Battle of Lake Erie, he revealed, was fought off Victory point on the island. The trip, he said, will require four hours of water travel each way. Badger to Discuss Salt Making in Middle Ages Prof. Walter L. Badger, of the en- gineering school, will lecture at 5 o'clock this afternoon in Natural Science auditorium on the topic "Salt Manufacturing in the Middle Ages." An extensive study has been made by Professor Badger of the organiza- tion of the early salt industries. He has collected numerous papers and books concerning its, manufacture which have revealed advanced pro- duction methods used as early as the year 1300 A. D. Professor Badger will tell of the rigid production methods used by the industry, the profit sharing schemes, and many other items of interest concerning one of 'the world's earliest industries. Local Youth, 17, Held Under Robbery Charge Charged with robbery armed, Ran- som S. Hawley, Jr., 17, son of Prof. Ransom S. Hawley, of the mechani- cal engineering department, is await- ing a hearing in circuit court fol- lowing his arraignment yesterday af- ternoon before 'Justice Jay H. Payne. He waived examination and is being held in default of $10,000 bond. Police said the youth had confes- sed to the robbery of two gas sta- tions in Saline and Milan after be- ing positively identified by the at- tendants. He is also charged with the theft of two cars. Brucker Talks At Ypsilanti Hospital Unit Capacity of State Institu- tion Raised to Green Program 1,500; Praised of International Law of the Carnegie Endowment has not been a seminar in the ordinary sense. It has been an opportunity for teachers of inter- national law and related subjects to consider with the leaders of the sem- inars their problems and to discuss the treatment of certain specific sub- jects which were before the seminars as illustrative of topics which might arise in class work and as furnish- ing a background for an enrichment of courses. "The teachers have been left free to determine for themselves what application they will make of the tiethods and materials which they have been furnished. They have gained much from five weeks of con- tact with one another in an atmos- phere of intensive consideration of widely divergent fields of interna- tional law presented from various points of view." Prof. Jesse S. Reeves, head of the political science department and dean of the conference, pointed out that the meeting had drawn the attention of other academic institutions to Michigan for studies in the interna- tional field. "The meeting," he as- seited, "hgas altogether an experi- ment and I think generally it was a success." D-. Franklin C. Sewell, of George- town university, expressed the view- point of those who attended the seminars. "The. summer semester for teachers of International Law," he declared, "has proved to be a com- plete success for the attending guests. It has provided an opportunity for 40 instructors in international law from representative u n i v e r s i t i e s throughout the United States to come together and discuss outstand- ing problems under the leadership of five of the foremost authorities on international, law in the United States. "The University of Michigan, with its beautiful campus and buildings has proved an ideal center for a con- ference of those who, through higher An additional unit of the new Ypsilanti State hospital, which will bring the institution's capacity to 1,500, was dedicated Wednesday. Inf making the dedicatory address, Gov- ernor Wilber M. Brucker said that, further additions to the hospital and to the institutigns at Traverse City, Kalamazoo and Pontiac would have.' to wait until tax collections improve,t but announced that $500,000 would be spent on a 300-bel receiving hos- pital to be constructed at Newberry and on a 250-bed boys' unit to the hospital at Lapeer.l Governor Brucker declared that state expenditures had been $5,000,- 000 less in the last fiscal year than during the preceding 12 months and that savings at every point possibleE had accomplished this end. He com- plimented the hospital group wlicht played a considerable part in this saving despite the fact that their ire- sources were taxed more) severely than ever before. He also paid tribute to the foresight of former Governor Fred Green and previous legislatures in inaugurating the pres- ent state hospital program. 1 Cost of the Ypsilanti hospital to date was reported as $4,054,946; the new unit having cost $357,942. Work; on the institution was begun in June, 1930. The first unit was dedicated one year ago today and the second unit started last October. The institution will have a capa- city of 3,000 patients when completed, according to the provisions' of the legislative act authorizing it. Auto Permits Revoked To Punish Violations Several permits have been revoked and a number of less severe disci- plinary measures have been meted out to Summer Session students for violation of the University auto reg- ulations, it was learned yesterday. Penalties for several other cases will be withheld until the opening of school. 'UtoChange Its Graduation Requirements Revision of Examination System Also Incorporat- ed Into New Catalogue Course Grouping Plan Is Altered 18 Different Sections to Have Test Periods Same Time Each Semester Two distinct changes, both pre-. viously annpunced but never before printed 'into the catalogue of the University, mark the appearance of the 1932-33 announcement for the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. The announcements are now being distributed in room 4, University hall. A change in graduation require- nents, involving many of the ideas behind' the University college plan, forms the principal difference in this year's announcement. The other change is in the examination meth- ods and includes a grouping of the courses under 18 different heads. All classes in each group will be ex- amined at the same time during the regular examination period at the end of the semester. Must Have C Average Graduation requirements include the admission of the student as. a andidate for a degree at the time df hisdcompletion of 60 hours of work. The work must be done with an average grade of C or better. Although the first two years of work will be general in nature, at the beginning of the third year the student must select a department or division of specialization. To obtain a degree, the student' must have passed 60 more hours at a grade of C or better. Thirty of these must be in the chosen department of special- ization or 60 hours in the division of specialization. Examination changes include the grouping of all the courses under 18 heads, designated from A to R in the announcement, with a 19th special group designated as X. During the semester a schedule will be prepared showing the time of examination for each of the 18 groups. "A studerit should not elect more than one course from any one of the 18 regu- lar groups," Prof. Daniel L. Rich, di- rector of classification, stated.yester- day. Provide For Special Tests Examinations for the X group courses will be given at any time convenient for the linstructor and the members of the class. Only in the. case of unavoidable conflicts and with the consent of the Exam- inations Schedule committee will special examinations be given. The announcement includes a list of all the courses which will be given in the literary college next year. A number of, graduate courses and courses which may be taken for graduate credit are also listed. Spe- cial graduate school catalogues are also now available, it was learned. Bonus Army Still In Capital; Eviction Order Is Withheld WASHINGTON, July 27.-(AP)- The expected eviction of 1,800 bonus army veterans from Government buildings near the Capitol failed to materialize today when Police Su, perintendent Pelham D. Glassford said he was without orders to clear the grourids. Glassford permitted the men to remain in their billets.. Wrecking contractors, scheduled to begin razing the buildings after they had been emptied of the veterans, abandoned plans to proceed immedi- ately with the work. Glassford explained his action by saying he, had no specific orders to evict the veterans if they did not depart voluntarily in compliance with the Treasury Department's or- der of evacuation. The inconclusive climax to the Government's attempts to get the veterans out of the ramshackle build- ings left the next move up to the Treasury, which thus far has been unsuccessful in finding an agency to enforce its decrees. Glassford appeared on the scene at the time when police had been ex- pected, to begin clearing out the buildings and arresting all who re- sisted. "I have no orders to clear these _ f - ,- .£.?. _;.:.~ ;;;3 yi 3 ' : Excursionists Go from Stases To Aeroplanes in Three Hours Fries Recommends New Oxford Dictionary to Definition Hunters From stage coaches to trimotor planes in three hours. That was the record-breaking pace set by University of Michigan excur- sionists on their visit to Henry Ford's curiosity shops in Dearborn yester- day. Under the guidance of the fa- mous rubberneck guide team of Wells and Hornberger, the boys and girls took a peek at Uncle Henry's collec- tion, of Americana or something in Greenfield village, took a ride in the vehicles that grandpa and grandma knew, and finished up loafing around the lobby of the Dearborn Inn, Ford's new and exclusive hotel. Some of the "gang" even went so far as to treat themselves to an aeroplane ride to the tpne of.one and a half shekels clan also was given the opportunity to see the actual construction work on the new plane which Admiral Byrd will use in his next South Pole expedition. As the concluding feature of the trip one section of the party (those who could afford it and weren't scared) took a 15-mile ride in one of the Ford airport trimotors while the rest spent the time exploring the Dearborn Inn much to the discom- fort of the guests, one of whom knocked 'over a card table through sheer nervousness from the rubber- neck gazes. A young hireling of Ford conducted the party through the rooms of the hotel, explaining how much each room cost and keep- Carr to Tax Discuss School Legislation Today Do you rush to Webster when you1 are in doubt about the meaning of a word?£ Well, if you do you are on the right track, according to Prof. Charles E. Fries, but there is another source which is more authentic and more complete than either Webster's dic- tionary or the standard dictionary. It is the new Oxford dictionary com- pleted in 1928. At a cost of $2,000,000 and with the gratuitous aid of. 1,000 workers, the Oxford dictionary includes twelve volumes, or 15,000 pages with three columns on a page. It took over seven years to edit the volumes, and by a Scotchman, he added. The four men who have contribut- ed most to the work are Sir WilliamE Craigie, Dr. Henry Bradley, Sir James Murray and Dr. C. T. Onions., The first real dictionary to be pub- lished, in the opinion of Professor Fries, cane out in 1604, as the re- sult of much time and labor by Ed- ward Weaver. On the first page was "for ladies, gentlewomen and other unskillful persons," which shows the function of the early dictionaries, Professor Fries said. The Oxford dictionary is essential- ly different from all others, continued Professor Fries. It is an attempt to use historical principles in language. William G. Carr, director of the research division of the National Education Association, will lecture at 2 o'clock today in the University High School auditorium on "Recent Legislation for School Revenue."
