It is, true that Maxim broke' society's laws and that heshould have paid for his crime however insignificant it might have. been. It is likewise true that, after being given a position at the penal institution on his honor, Maxin defied authorities by escaping. But a look behind the scenes might create a different picture of Maxim's case., Many men now confined to prison have paid their debt to society and are now paying usury. That they have sinned is probably true but in many cases society as a whole would probably benefit by their release. Maxim's case seems to be such a one. He was sent to an institution known as a "Reformatory." Whether his stay there or other factors determined him to "go straight," he has nevertheless done so. Society will certainly not profit by returning him to a cell. He has admitted his identity and his willingness to peacefully re- turn to prison to finish paying his debt to society. But can he not better pay that debt by remaining a iesponsible member of that society which he wronged rather than by turning into a confirmed and embittered "jailbird"- which he might easily do by returning to the Ohio institution? It would seem that to send such a man to a "Reformatory" would admit the weaknesses of such institutions as places where young men are to be taught how to properly live in an organized society which protects its members. To place him under the guardianship of his employers or other iesponsible parties and allow him to continue his respectable existence would seem the best solution to the problem. It would probably mean saving the future of the young man while at the.same time sparing society the expense of another con- vict and possibly a confirmed criminal.

N THE BASIS of an Associated Press dispatch dated from Wash- ington, D. C., Aug. 6, we submit the possibility that Ann Arbor retailers are "cheating" on the National Recovery Administration because they have shortened store hours far below the mini- mum stipulated by Brig.-Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, thereby choking off anticipated re-employment and violating the "understanding" on which the retail code is based. We quote from the dispatch: " . in several local communities retailers are making joint agreements to shorten hours. "This is not in keeping with either the spirit or the fact as expressed in the President's re-employ- ment agreement or in the President's statements regarding re-employment, of which the essence is to effect an increase both in re-employment and in wages to those employed." (Ann Arbor retailers, "backing the NRA," have decided to cut their store hours down to 52 a week, closing up Saturday nights in addition. Does this not conflict with Johwson's aims as expressed in the following paragraph, as we again quote from the dispatch?) "If the store hours are reduced by this agree- miept to any number below 63 hours, the re- employment which is anticipated through the al- lowance of the 48 man-work hours each week will not be obtained and the understanding upon which the food and grocery distributors and the retail codes was based will not have been carried CHAMBER MUSIC RECITAL The caliber of the program of the chamber- music recital to be presented this evening in Hill Auditorium, is such that is seldom found on student programs. The recital opens with the first movement from the Dohnanyn Quintet for piano and strings, opus 1. The manipulation of the different voices is surprisingly mature for a first work, being handled in a broad style of writ- ing. The arrangement to be used in this recital is fairly orchestral, since the string parts are doubled to balance the piano part, thus enhancing the general effect greatly. The Quartet written by Hugo Wolf contrasts decidedly with the Dohnanyi. The whole, entitled, "Italian Serenade," is written in one movement, depicting the gaiety and light-hearted mood of the serenaders. Even to professional quartet players this composition of Wolf's is of exceeding difficulty in its liveliness and delicacy. The Ravel Septet is in effect a concerto for harp, with flute, clarinet and string accompani- ment, a unique combination. As the preceding number, the Septet consists of one movement, with a slow introduction. The color palette is used to the utmost advantage and results in a' brilliant, somewhat "atmospheric" study of sound. Brahms is represented on the program with the second movement of his Quintet in F-minor for piano and strings. The conversation worked out is delicate, sotto voce, the melodies warm and lyric. The whole is treated in a pastelle manner. The recital ends with Saint-Saens' "Carnival of Animals." It was originally written for the enjoy- ment of a few friends during a Mardi-Gras cele- bration. "The Swan" was the only part of this suite published during Saint-Saens' life-time, the others being carefully kept from publication, per- haps for fear of jeopardizing the musical dignity of the composer. In many cases Saint-Saens used themes familiar everywhere to point his sketches of the animals, os for instance in the "Elephants," he has used a bit of Weber's "Invi- tation to the Dance" as a counterpoint to "Dance des Sylphes" of Berlioz. The suite is cleverly orchestrated to contribute to the aptness and wittiness of the suite. -Sally Place with a tremendous life by the analysis the situa- tion affords for the central characters. tThe Michigan Repertory Playersahave secured special permission to have the play included in their summer schedule of plays. If the popularity afforded it in New York when Francis Lederer, the young Czechoslovakian actor, and Dorothy Gish played in the leading roles, is any indication, it should be one of the most entertaining thea- ter experiences of the season. A Washington BYSTANDER WASHINGTON-Back in those long-ago days when Herbert Hoover as president-elect was cab- inet making, great interest tached to what he would do about filling his own shoes as com- merce secretary. From time to time all his other selections were made and became known, but who was to be his secretary of commerce was mystery. Finally a decision was reached. George Akerson, Mr. Hoover's campaign secretary and his first se- lection for his White House secretariat, gleefully disclosed the fact, but not the, name, to the news hungry corps of political reporters. "And if anybody can guess who it is, I'll con- firm it," Akerson challenged the group. Nobody did guess it, which shows just how far out of the political picture of that day Robert Patterson Lamont was. Speaks For Steel The Roosevelt "new deal" having got going, however, it remained for Mr.' Lamont to be the first of the Hoover cabinet figures to get into the Washington news in any but a politically speculative fashion. As spokesman for the steel industry in the code framing activities of the National Recovery ad- ministration he was a key man. The fact that the steel 'captains hit on La- mont to speak for their group in the NRA hear- ings was a bit surprising. Itmight have been expected that somebody sup- posed to have an'inside political track with the new powers at Washington, a Democrat by pref- erence, would have appealed to the steel men rather than a former Republican cabineteer like Lamont. Particularly a Hoover cabineteer. But Lamont was the hian and it fell to his lot to give General Johnson and his NRA shock troops a surprise that went far to mitigate the hot sticky weather in Washington just at that moment. Voluntary withdrawal by Lamont of the so- called "company union" clause of that code at least deferred one of the thorniest problems they faced. Washington was all read for a real knock- down-and-drag-out battle between industrialists and organized labor on that point. Edtorial C Oznment ROOSEVELT TWISTS THE TAIL - OF TAMMANY Indirectly, President Roosevelt took another of his frequent slaps at Tammany this week when A. A. Berle, Columbia professor and "brain trust" member, indicated his support of La Guardia, independent Democratic nominee for mayor of New York city. Berle pointed out that political freedom will soon be lost if the "Wigwam" continues to hold power over New York voters, and offered active aid and technical advice to La Guardia. If Tammany loses to this fiery progressive it .will force the bosses down on their knees, and will probably cause much comment by the press. But such a possible upset does not seem strange when the relations between Roosevelt and this organiza- tion are recalled. For, taking a glance at the record, since 1910 Roosevelt has repeatedly clashed with Tammany and has won every battle. From the first week that he sat in the New York senate to the election of 1932 Roosevelt has "mistreated" that long- established political machine. If La Guardia wins the mayorship and if Berle's statement is any indication of the president's opinions, Tammany might just as well hang a "Closed for Repairs" sign on the door of its wig- wam. - Roosevelt will have had the last word in a 33- year argument. -The Daily Iowan UNWISE? Learn to spend your leisure time unwisely! That was the altogether unorthodox piece of advice given members of the national Business and Pro- fessional women's clubs recently in Chicago, by a professional woman of Philadelphia-an editor. Undoubtedly there is much to the argument that wise use should be made of leisure. Develop hobbies that will prove helpful to you. Interest yourself in a sideline or two that really intrigues you. It'll make life much more worth the living and you'll really be profiting by your leisure time. That's the theory on which exponents of this science of spending your spare hours will work. But, as the speaker in Chicago implied, and later declared, in substance, isn't leisure time a period in which to do just as one wishes? Isn't the wasting of it good for the soul-and body? Doesn't the human machine need a period of idleness in which it may be allowed to wander about satisfying its own whims? These quite sensible things are, we believe, what the lecturer meant when shei'said "Use your leis- ure time 'unwisely'." And however much her ad- vice, might shock the orthodox believers in budget- ing even your leisure (in effect) we assume that this paradoxical statement of hers is anything but Members of the Faculty of the Col-t lege of Literature, -Science, and the Arts: An important special meeting of the faculty will be held at 4:00 p. m., Wednesday, August 9, 1933, in Room 1025, Angell Hall..

Reeves Addresses Law Teachers On Chaco Fight (Continued from Page 1) having been, since the eighteenth century, within the jurisdiction of the bishopiic of Asunsion, capital of that state," he said. "Bolivia claims it all as a part of former Upper Peru on the basis of the so-called Uti-pos- sidetis of 1810." "By the Uti-possidetis was meant that each independent state had rights to the territorial area which it embraced as a province such as it had been in the hands of Spain when the wars of independence- began," Professor Reeves stated. The Uti-possidetis does not solve a boundary dispute where there were no colonial boundary lines, or where states have come into existence since the close of the wars of independence. Paraguay existed long before the wars of independence began as a Spanish colony, but official Spanish documents show no record of the exact limits of Paraguay, he asserted. In commenting on this boundary dispute, Professor Reeves said, "Prac- tically every country of South Amer- ica has had boundary disputes with neighboring states, and no continent has ever afforded greater opportunity for boundary difficulties than South America for the whole of it was, within a century of its discovery, claimed by European powers;" Boundary disputes began in South America in 1494 and ultimately in- volved Portugal, Spain, France, Great Britain and The Netherlands during the colonial era, he continued. 'The next address on the series will be delivered by Prof. Charles Cheney Hyde, of the law department at Co- lumbia University and a member of tiie conference teaching staff, on "The Arbitration of Boundary Dis- putes" Friday evening.

Pilot Injured In Crash Near Detroit Airport Pilot J. L. Huber was injured and seven passengers were badly bruised and shaken at 4:30 p. m. yesterday when an American Airways Corp. plane crashed in a field near the Detroit City Airport. The plane, a tri-motor, en route to Chicago. had taken 100 feet alti- tude and was circling above the air- port when its right motor stalled. The plane began to settle and Pilot Huber tried to turn about and make for the landing field. Skirting telephone poles and housetops, the tail of the plane sagged so low it caught on telephone wires at Grinnell Ave. between Grace and Raymond Ave., struck the roof of a house at 9692 Grinnell Ave., and caromed to the street and into- a six-foot wire fence. Pulling Huber through the emer- gency door in the forvard part of the plane, Raymond Assessor, 39 years old, 9705 Traverse Ave., as- sisted the passengers to the ground. Prior efforts of M. B. Buckley, a salesman from Kansas City, and C. S. Wagner, a Detroit Michigan Stove Co. district manager, of Kansas City, to open the passenger door had failed.. According to Buckley the plane took off nicely but began to settle when it circled the airport. "It seemed as though something was dragging down the tail of the ship, he said. "'The pilot just couldn't seem to get the tail up. It wouldn't stabilize." "It was when the plane began to lose altitude that the pilot tried to swing back to the landing field," added Wagner. "It all happened so quickly it was hard to keep track of it. The main door was jammed against the fence when we finally crashed with a terrible bump. We hardly felt it when the plane struck the wires but the jar was noticeable when we grazed the house." Pilot Huber was taken to Saratoga HbspitaV at Saratoga and Gratiot Aves., near the airport, when it was found that he was injured about the head and shoulders. Although sev- eral passengers complained of bruises, none was considered seriously ha'rmed. At the hospital Huber de- clined to discuss the accident. His plane, a Stinson Detroiter, was one of a fleet operated by. American Airways and regarded as one of the finest in the Middle West. Friends and relatives who had lin- gered about to see the passengers take off for the World's Fair were preparing to leave the field. They were attracted by the cries of by- standers who saw the plane swing about and sink to' an altitude of 35 or 40 feet.

[-AV PRO GRSS the AGES3 The Theatre A REFRESHING SWEETNESS THAT JAMS 'EM IN An article on "Autumn Crocus" the eighth production of the Michigan Rep- ertory Players' season. By DAVID MOTT Audiences aren't as cynical and blase as they make themselves out to be-not according to Di- rector Basil Dean who produced "Autumn Cro- cus" for the Schubert Office in New York this winter. They think themselves very hard-boiled, but it's only a veneer. Underneath it all they like to have their heartstrings tugged at, they like a refreshing sweetness in their play. Basil Dean's production jammed 'em in all winter and spring as the proof of it. Not that "Autumn Crocus" is one of those icky- icky sort of plays, for certainly it is not. It is a gentle and tender document on the woes of frus- tration, written with tremendous sincerity and simplicity. There is a strength in the loosely writ- ten script that raises it above being "just another" or "average" play. The author, C. I. Anthony, an Englishman, has' written her play in a delightfully slow-moving way. The method which has become attractive to many playwrights in the past few years for dealing with a simple story, is almost casual. Two other recent successes have been written in that manner - "Another Language" and "The Late Christopher Bean." The important play by the ill- fated English playwright Ronald Mackenzie, "Mu- sical Chairs," (which as yet I believe has not found production in America) was written in that manner. It is a delightful slowness of method which harks back to Checkov-who mastered the method supremely some thirty years ago. The story of "Autumn Crocus" is of an English school teacher who in an overnight stay at a Ty- rolean mountain place falls in love with a young and Pan.'. ina Ait cf'r4a inni,,nn .
