Citizen Supporters
To Meet Thursday
Detroit Pastor To Speak
At Hill Auditorium Mass
Meeting
Ann Arbor retail merchants last
night agreed to follow the policy ad-
vocated by General Hugh S. John-
son, national administrator of the
NRA, and return to virtually the
same store hours that were in effect
here prior to July 1.
Starting Saturday, all stores with
the exception of furniture and food
dealers will be open Saturday night,
it was decided..Furniture dealers will
remain on theirupresent schedule
until the,. end of August.
The merchants, meeting in the
Chamber- of Commerce building,
reached the decision by a 40 to 11
vote following an announcement by
Montgomery Ward and Mack and
Co. that they intended to reopen
on Saturday nights.
Have Been On 54 Hours
At a recent meeting, the merchants
had decided to operate on the basis
of a 54 hour week, which was two
hours over the minimum set by Pres-
ident Roosevelt for stores that, prior
to the NRA declaration, had been
open 52 hours per week or more.
The merchants stated that they
had reduced hours before the code
drafted by General Johnson had been
clarified and believed at that time
that they were co-operating with
his wishes.
The townspeople of Ann Arbor who
are supporting President Roosevelt's
National Recovery Administration
will parade to Hill Auditorium Thurs-
day night where a mass meeting will
be held at 8:15 p. m.
Dr. M. S. Rice, pastor of the Met-
ropolitan Church, Detroit, will be the
principal speaker of the evening.
The executive committee of the
local NRA met last night and decid-
ed on the line of march for the
parade. James B. Edmonson, dean of
the education school and chairman
of the committee, last night also en-
listed 12 Ann Arbor merchants to
march to the meeting Thursday.
Other Organizations
Besides the merchants, Company K
of the National Guard, and their
auxiliaries, local manufacturers, Par-
ent Teachers' Association groups,
school children, and the Boy Scouts
will take part in the parade, accord-
ing to Capt. Kenneth C. Hallenbeck,
marshall.
The various groups will assemble
at 7:15 p. m. in the general vicinity
of the Armory on Ann St. and 5th
Ave. with Company K and the Amer-
ican Legion Drum and Bugle Corps
heading west on Ann St. between
4th and 5th Avenues, the veterans
organizations, the auxiliaries, the
merchants, and manufacturers head-
ed north on 5th Ave. between Huron
and Ann Streets; the Parent Teach-
ers' Association and school groups on
5th Ave. headed south between Ann
and Catherine Streets, and the Boy
Scouts on 4th Ave. between Huron
and Ann Streets, headed south.
Those wishing 'to take part in the
parade were asked to telephone Cap-
tain Hallenbeck at 2-2563 or 3490
sometime today.

Final Tabulations Show 3,194
Students Enrolled In Session

By the Associated Press

A 20 per cent decrease in enroll-I
ment from the Summer Session of 1
1932, largely attributed by UniversityI
authorities to the current economic
situation throughout the country, ,
was announced yesterday for the
summer. Figures released indicated.
that 2,181 men and 1,010 women were
enrolled in the various colleges of
the University for the summer, or a
net total of 3,194 students.
Despite the general drop in enroll-
ment for the summer months, some
colleges showed a definite increase
over last year's figures. The Medical
Coal, Steel, Oil,

Codes Pushed
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.
Four of the nation's giant industries
were urged today by the NRA to
agree quickly upon codes providing'
minimum wages and maximum hours
for their multitudes of workers.
This advice, it was learned today.
in administration circles, went out
to the coal, steel, oil and automobile
industries from Hugh S. Johnson, as
he opened a determined campaign
to reach the bulk of the Nation's
employees by Labor Day. The oil
industry alone of the four is operat-
ing under a temporary code.
With Secretary Frances Perkins,
Johnson conferred with spokesmen
for the giant steel plants, while a
deputy administrator talked with
representatives of the automobile
industry.
Operators of bituminous coal fields
have been called to meet tomorrow
-a week earlier than planned-and
Thursday Johnson will seek action
from the conflicting elements of the
oil industry.
Upon these conferences depends
much of the administrator's hopes
of reaching his objective next month,
and official sources said that he was
acting with the full support of the
Roosevelt Administration.

School, with an enrollment of 252,
increased 15.6 per cent; the Law
School, with 163 students, increased
5.2 per' cent; and the College of
Pharmacy, enrolling 23 students, in-
creased 15 per cent.
In addition to the enrollment of
3,194 students in the various depart-
ments, 40 teachers were enrolled for
the second annual conference held in
Ann Arbor for teachers of interna-
tional law.
Though the decrease from last
year's total bears out the present fi-
nancial condition of those who would
seek a higher education, Dean Ed-
ward H. Kraus pointed out that the
decrease at the University is no
grebAer "thai that at'similar insti-
tutions. Some universities showed a
decrease over last year's figures as
great as 40 per cent, although in a
few instances a slight increase was
noted, Dean Kraus said.
The largest enrollment for the
summer at the University was in the
Graduate School, which was attended
by 1,399' students. The literary col-
lege ranked next with 547 students,
followed by the Educational Confer-
ence, with 275, the College of Engi-
neering, 'with 254, and the Medical
School, with 252. There were 177
in the School of Education, 162 stu-
dents listed in the Law School, 94
at the University Biological Station,
84 in the School of Music, 47 at the
Physics Symposium, 46 in the Col-
lege of Architecture, and 23 in the
College of Pharmacy. Twenty stu-
dents attended the School of Busi-
ness Administration and 16 the
School of Forestry and Conservation.

Grades received during the past
ear by fraternity men are higher
han those received by independent
aen studentsand grades received by
orority women are higher than the
arks received by independent wom-
n, according to computations of
/arian Williams, statistician in the
tegistrar's Office.
The grades fraternity men and.
orority women averaged together are
lso higher than the combined aver- 6
ge of the independent men and t
omen and of all men and women.
Sorority members lead the list of
trades with an average of 79.2 per
tent, which is a little better than a
alf B, half C average, according to
viss Williams' figures.
The scale which has been used in
ompiling the scholarship record is j
1 equals 100 per cent, B equals 85
er cent, C equals 70 per cent, D
quals 50 per cent, and E equals 20
>er cent.

lifferent groups follow: a

Medical, law, and dental students c
ire not included in the starred t
roups. Because of the lack of uni- r
ormity between the grading systems f
n the professional schools and those t
in the non-professional schools of n
he University, it seems advisable to A
consider medical, law, and dental F
tudents as separate groups. The s
omparison of these schools, either C
with each other or with the rest of
the University, is not significant. P
All grades earned by ineligible and I
dropped pledges have previously been 1
counted in the independent, all men, c
and all women groups. For 1932-33 i
only the grades earned by these stu-
dents while they were not pledged to c
a fraternity are included in the in-
dependent groups. Grades earned r
while they were pledges have been c
omitted from both fraternity and in-
dependent averages. All grades earned
by these students have been included
in the all men and all women groups.
Grades received by the various fra-
ternities on the campus follow:
1. Pi Kappa Phi..............82.9

TOO MUCH VIGILANCE?
LANSING, Aug. 15.-(Y)-G o v.-
William A. Comstock believes that a
"watchdog of the treasury" is a good
thing if it isn't carried too far.
He has been watching the experi-
ment of 'John K. Stack, auditor gen-
eral, who has laid down rigid rules
governing expense accounts. The
Governor said that there are ex-
ceptions to every rule. Stack has
insisted that expense accounts should
not normally run over $3 a day for
meals and a like amount for hotel
roofns.I

Hoover Named
In Bank Quiz
DETROIT, Aug. 15. - (A') - The
former head of the nation's largest
closed bank startled a crowded court 1
room today with a sensational ac-
count of parts played by Herbert
Hoover, Henry Ford, and Senator
James Couzens in the negotiations
preceding the Michigan-and subse-
quent national-bank crisis.
Testifying before Circuit Judge
Harry B. Keidan's one-man grand
jury today, Wilson W. Mills, former
chairman of the board of the closed
First National Bank-Detroit, said
that:
Refused Loan
1. Couzens refused to sanction a
loan! from the Reconstruction Fi-
nance Corporation which would have
saved, the Union Guardian Trust Co.
and prevented the Michigan "holi-
day" which began Feb. 14.
2. Hoover, then President, told him
(Mills) that the R. F. C. was afraid
to go ahead with the loan in the face
of Couzens' opposition and threat-
ened denunciation.
3. Ford at one time was understood
by bankers to have agreed to "freeze"
a deposit of $7,500,000 in the Union
Guardian Trust Company, but later
denied he had made such a promise
and threatened if the Union Guar-
dian closed to withdraw all the
money he had in any bank, including.
$20,000,000 in the First National.
Senator Couzens, now in Detroit,
will answer the statements of Mills
when he appears before the grand
jury later this week.

Court Denies Plea To
Set Aside NRA Ruling

for an injunction against recent Fed-

shipment of oil produced in violation

FOREST HILLS, N. Y., Aug. 15.-,
(_P)-There was the customary ab-
sence of fireworks today as the,
women tennis stars of this country
and Great Britain got down to busi-
ness in the forty-sixth renewal of the
Women's National Champion at the
West Side Tennis Club.
The principle impression gathered
from an unexciting opening round
was that Mrs. Helen Wills Moody,
seven times queen of this country's
courts, still can spot her opponents1
a lame back and very probably give
them a collective lesson in the finer
points of the pastime.
Moving about easily and unhur-

who has been her most tenacious,
opponent for almost a decade, Helen
Jacobs. In addition to turning loose
a powerful game to crush Eunice
Dean, of San Antonio, Tex., 6-0, 6-0,
the defending champion gained what
may prove lasting fame by playing
in "shorts" the first woman ever to
eschew the conventional skirt and
blouse on the stadium court.
If the two California Helens retain
the same fine edge they 'displayed
today the concensus was they are log-
ical choices to clash in the finals the
last of the week, despite the pres-
ence of the strong contingent from
England. They have met seven times
