Local Bootlegger 'MUscles' In, Out Ann Arbor has been at least secondarily affected by Chicago's gangland tactics. One of the local purveyors of the forbidden liquids, it is un- derstood, found his trade mater- ially decreased during the Sum- mer Session and turned his at- tention to new fields. Knowing a large number of students in Chicago, he left for the Cook county metropolis and, began to "muscle in" in a small way. But it was just a few days un- til the former Ann Arbor "mer- chant" found himself in a corner, staring down the muzzle of an ominous-looking gun. His hands were reaching for the ceiling. "You're leaving for Detroit by noon, tomorrow," he was inform- ed by a large man who looked as if he meant it. "And I left," he explained. He is now in the less lucrative but much more healthy environs of Michigan. U. S. Prepared To Hear Debt Cut Proposals Europe Wants to Reduce Eleven Billions Owed to Ainerica . WASHINGTON, July 8.-(AP)- The United States stands ready to 'hear appeals from European powers for a reduction of the eleven bil- lion dollars they owe this Country on loans during and immediately after the World War. Since Europe has finally agreed at Lausanne to cut Germany's reparations to $750,000,000, the State Department said today that the United States is willing to consider individual proposals for a revision of debts for the 15 nations which owe this Country. No promises have been made by the United States. But this Gov- ernment has stated repeatedly in. recent months that it would grant a rehearing to European debtorsj individually after they have agreed among themselves to settle repara- tions. The United States has insisted that it had no interest in repara tions as it refused to take any from Germany. Until the Lausanne Conference works out its agreement in detail and the full text is available to the State Department, Secretary Stim- son will not be able to arrange plans for hearing appeals. Any change in the amount of war debt payments would have to be ap- proved by Congress, which is on record against further reduction or cancellation. Both the House and Senate took this position in approv- ing the Hoover one-year morator- ium on intergovernmental debts. Russia Keeps / Workers Busy In Production Hultine States Tractor Factories: Putting Out 150 Units Per Day Russian tractor factories are put- ting out 150 units per day even dur- ing these times of depression. The. authority for this statement is Jacob Hultine of the local prole- tarian party who worked for several months in the Russian plants and for several years in the factories of the United States. Hultine compar- ed the lot of the worker in Russia with that of the laborer in this country in a lecture yesterday after- noon in Natural Science auditorium. / "In Russia," Hultine said, "every- one is busy. The workers put en- thusiasm in their work because they know that there is a purpose be- hind it. They know that the factor- ies are theirs. They work seven hours a day. They are not driven like slaves as they are in this coun- try. They can stop to smoke a cig- arette if they want to. The work- men pick their own foremen. If they are not satisfied with them they can have them removed." 45 Students Start Out Stems Beer Tide -". Sen. William E. Borah, Idaho Re- publican, outmaneuvered S e n a t es wets yesterday to prevent consider-s ation on the Bingham beer proposal. Senator Borah was mentioned forf the Prohibition party's presidentialt candidate.f Borah Blocks 1 Bingham Plan On Beer Vote' Speaker Garner Receives Petition Asking Ballotz Before Adjournment t WASHINGTON, July 8.-(AP)- The whirling prohibition controversy1 swirled about both sides of the cap- itol today in extended debate, butt there was no final decision on pro- posals to repeal the Eighteenthi Amendment and to legalize beer. 1 In the Senate, a move by Senator1 Bingham, Connecticut Republican,' to obtain a vote on his bill to legal- ize beer, was thwarted temporarilyE through a parliamentary maneuver by Senator Borah, Idaho Republi- can. A little earlier, the Senate debat- ed vigorously but reached no agree- ment on 'a motion by Senator Bar- bour, New Jersey Republican, to bring up for consideration his legis- lation for repeal of' the Eighteentht Amendment. The motion remained on the cal- endar, however, and that will per- mit a decision before adjournment.I Barbour said he would press for an early vote. On the House side a petition signed by 77 Republicans asking for1 an opportunity to vote on the legal- ization of beer before adjournment was presented to Speaker Garner. After Borah had displaced the Bingham proposal with other legis- lation, the Connecticut Republican charged that Drys were attempting to save the "timid souls in the Dem- ocratic Party" from having to vote on prohibition. Borah, a prohibitionist, contended a currency expansion bill he. intro- duced as a substitute for the beer "rider" on the home loan bank measure "is of more concern than either beer or red liquor." The Borah proposal thus became the pending question before the Senate and Bingham late in the day withdrew his beer amendment, but he promptly informed newspaper- men he intended to offer it again. German. -hysicist Coming Monday to Assist Symposium Prof. Wdrner Heisenberg, of the University of Leipsic, Germany, will arrive in Ann Arbor Monday to take part in the symposium of theoreti- cal physics which is being conduct- ed on the campus this summer. Professor Heisenberg had b e e n scheduled to take part in the. work from the beginning of the Summer Session, but he has been unable to arrive here until this week. How- ever. he will give an extra lecture House Threatens Probe Of Federal Reserve, Treasury McFadden, Hoover Foe on Moratorium, Presents a Resolution for Sweeping Inquiry Michener, Garner Promise Support Spea1er Will Request Fa- vorable Action by Rules Committee to Bring Mat- ter Out WASHINGTON, July 8-(AP)-A sweeping investigation of the treas- ury and federal reserve system im- pended tonight after a house floor exchange during which Speaker Garner pledged his, support for the inquiry. "The Rules committee meets at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning," Garner said in the midst of the debate. 'Speaking as I may for the major- ity, I will request them to bring out the resolution ofs the gentlemai from Pennsylvania, Mr. McFadden,' put it on passage and make this in, vestigation." Representative M i c h e n e r (R., Mich.,) was acting as Republican loor leader in the absence of Rep- resentative Snell. Garner asked him if he would help to pass the resolu- tion for the inquiry "Yes," replied Michener. "I think E will." Includes (lederal Reserve Garner later told newspaper men that if an inquiry is ordered the resolution will b drafted to include the treasury, the comptroller of the currency .and federal reserve .board. The 'discussion was started by Mc- Fadden (R., Penn.), who in a speech urging action on his 'resolution for an inquiry reminded Garner that the. letter has said he favored an investigation. The Speaker was sitting on the Democratic side listening to the de- bate. For the first time this session he interrupted another member. "I still have the same opinion I expressed at that time," Garner said. "The reason I .have not rushed t rules committee investigation manded by the gentleman fr Pennsylvania are two: "For the last six months the country has been very much dis- turbed in economic matters. I did not want to investigate the treasury department with a view to having the people of the country lose con- fidence in it. "The only thing they seem to have left is confidence in the govern- ment of the. United States in its fis- cal matters. To make an investiga- tion at this time and discover such things as the gentleman from Penn- sylvania and I believe would be dis- covered in that department would certainly unsettle that confidence and would, not be beneficial to the American people. "Certainly, I thought that if we undertook to do it at this time with an election immediately in front of us, it would be charged during the campaign that we attempted to use the investigation for partisan pur- poses. These are the two reasons why we did not ask 'for it to be done." Argues With Michener "The Speaker has said that he does not want this investigation for the simple reason that he believes, in substance, that it would develop corruption ad fraud in the treas- ury department," Michener inter- rupted. "In other words, this man in this high position tells the country that in his judgment there is fraud and corruption in the treasury depart- ment and he says that if the coun- try were to 'learn at this time, it might have a bad effect on the country.". "I did not say 'fraud and corrup- tion,'" Garner retorted. Only a handful of members were present during that discussion which came a few minutes before adjourn- ment. - - Students, Townspeople See Presses in Action About 100 people visited the Stu- CHERBOURG, France, July 8.-j (AP)-Strong currents and a rising tide halted efforts to salvage the sunken French submarine Promethee today and small harbor craft, un- equipped for their heavy task, sought, shelter in the harbor. Early tomorrow they will load chains and cables and heavy lines and steam out again to the spot, seven miles off Cape Levi, where the Promethee lies in 40 fathoms. It is hoped that the Italian sal- vage ship Artiglio II and her sister ship, the Rosto, will be there to help. The Naval authorities asked for their assistance today and they headed for Cherbourg. A scout ship, moving back and forth in the area where the sub- marine sank, spotted the hull this morning and dropped a buoy there. A few minutes later the Promethee's' small telephone buoy was discov- ered and for a time it was hoped it might still be possible to talk with some of the more than 60 men who went down with the ship. This hope proved groundless, for there was no sound from the other end of the telephone wire. There were bubbles on the surface, but Dean Wells Says Capone Had Part in Campus Bootleg circles Pollock Will Observe July Reich Elections Prof. James K. Pollock, of the po- litical science department, sailed last night from New York for Germany on the Bremen. He is making the trip especially to observe the Ger- man Reichstag elections, July 31, and will not return until the re- sumption of school in September. By GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. J Charges that Alphonse CaponeJ "ran" bootlegging activities on the Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota. and Wis- consin campuses were made in a statemenmt to The Daily yesterday by Miss Agnes Wells, present Dean of Women at Indiana university and former social director of Helen New- berry dormitory. Miss Wells added,' however, that she believes the younger generation drinks a great deal less than their forefathers. She based her charge against Ca- pone on a New York Times article of July 2, 1931, and contacts made with students on the Michigan held her present post, Dean Wells has had what amounts to personal supervision of 13 sororities and 3 dormitories, housing well over 600 women students. Important steps in student self government have been taken in this time, among them be- ing and organizations of "house groups" which rule on violations of regulations. "The houses at Indiana control all matters commonly relegated to faculty bodies," Miss Wells said, "and we have found this arrange- ment satisfactory. The girls bring their problems to the Committee on Student Affairs on their own hook if they find them too knotty."
