were last year, Coach Harry Kipke
believes, and Michigan's toughest
game will be with Ohio State, or pos-
sibly Northwestern, or' Minnesota.
At this stage, Harry is sittting at
his desk in the Athletic Adnmnistra-
tion :Building answering questions on
predictions with "on the other hand",
answers and mumbling about suicide
schedules.
Last year, it was Michigan State,
Northwestern, and Ohio State. Every-
one said that Michigan couldn't come
through a start like
that without losing
at least one game.
Consequently, a c -
cording to Kipke,
the team was all
pepped up for a,

battles and worked
itself into a form
that was to a great
extent responsible
for the Big Ten championship.
This season, Michigan hao just
about as difficult a start, he believes,
with Michigan State, Cornell, and
Ohio State looking for scalps, but,
since the drug store coaches have
the dope figured with Michigan on
top, he wonders if he may not have
an over-confident team that will
drop a game or two before it is well;

Police Headquarters
Turn Into A Kennel
FOUND--A bulldog with black
and white markings wearing a
1933 license inscribed "Ingham
County, Number 6225." The owner
may, etc.
Ifthis story were to appear
among the classifieds, it would
read like that, but such matter-
of-fact, cut and dried statement
fails to record the human side of
the incident.
Two officers, cruising in a scout
car near the campus, heard the
whine of a dog. Investigating, they
discovered one lying in the front-
yard of Betsy Barbour residence.
They took him to headquarters,
fed him, and now anyone who en-
ters the office is greeted with the{
dog's whine.
Local authorities are of the
opinion that the bull dog is the
pet of a student, as he seems par-
ticularly hungry.

"If I had Newman back," he said
in an interview yesterday, "I wouldn't
have to worry a great deal about
winning games. Bill Renner can
throw them, probably almost as well
as Newman, but can he do the other
things? That's what I'd like to know.
Everhardus can pass too, but not like
Harry."
"Michigan is going to use a lot of
open work next year and the games
should be pretty exciting. Last spring
we tried a few plays that combine
short underhand forward passes and
lateral passes," he said. "They worked
pretty well, but we'll need passers."
Kipke isn't worrying about his
kickers. He said that he plans to use
Regeczi and Everhardus but that he
had six or seven boys whom he can
depend on if necessary.
"But it's too early to tell a great
deal until we can at least get the
invitation list out and see who will
be back for fall practice. The list.
can't be compiled until Monday when
the grades from summer school are
available," he said.
"And how about that trip to Col-
gate which was made a week too
soon? Well, I was the only coach in
town so I came back to Ann Arbor.
I'll return to Colgate next week when
the coaches' meeting is going on. I'm
a professor, aren't I? I guess I have'
a right to be just as absent-minded'
as the next fellow.-'
Chicago Police
,Try Wisconsin
In Kidnap Hunt
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-)-A kid-
nap chase started in Chicago by 300
massed police spread to Southern
Wisconsin tonight with confident
predictions that Touhy gangsters and1
others suspected of kidnaping wouldt
be caught.
The locale of the hunt was the
Wisconsin resort district about 100#
miles. north of .Chicago, where gang-,
sters long have congregated and sev-
eral kidnap victims have believed1
they were held captive.
Two score Chicago police were
rushed to the region today with ma-
chine guns, rifles and bombs. 1
Chief of Detectives William Schoe-
maker said that failure of his mobi-
lized forces to catch two kidnaping
suspects in the suburbs yesterday wast
responsible in part to failure of De-
tective'Frank McKenna to'arrive on
time at a roadside lunchstand at
which the ransom was to be paid.
As ,a result, McKenna gave the money1
to two suspects, riding in an automo-
bile, at some distance from the stand.
A cordon of 300 police, therefore,
was unable to surround the suspects'
automobile. The fugitives speeded
about the vicinity for a time and
finally escaped in a wood.

HAVANA, Aug. 16.UP) --Bank ac-
counts and properties of the deposed{
President Gerardo Machado and his
followers were investigated today
with a view to requisition by their
successors.
Secretary of the Treasury Joaquin'
O B C secret society, began the probe.
as Provisional President Carlos Man-
u e 1 de Cespedes' administration
weeded out persons suspected of prof-
iting by the Machado regime.-
It was reliably reported that em-
bargoesare planned on fortunes and
property of the Machadistos. .
The newspaper Diairo de la Ma-
rina said Machado sent Mrs. Isobel
Galiger, private secretary to the chief
of the palace household, to Germany
two weeks ago to buy a home for
him there.
Reports from the Bahamas, where
Machado is in exile, said the erst-
while president planned to rent a
place near Nassau. Where he did
his banking was a matter of con-
jecture, but he is believed to have
substantial accounts abroad.

Gandhi's Fast
Makes British
Concede Point
Ultimatum Draws Quick
Response For Political
Prisoners In India
Will Allow Leader
To Continue Fighlt
'Little Brown Man' Given
Former Privileges By
Government
POONA, India, Aug. 16.-()-The
threat of a fast until death enabled
the Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi to
regain today privileges he formerly
had as a political prisoner. Thus
hewill be able to continue his cam-
paign for the regeneration of "the
untouchables," India's lowest class.
After the Mahatma announced at
noon that he would start the fast,
the British government came for-
ward with a number of concessions.
It announced its willingness to pro-
vide the Nationalist leader with fa-
cilities enabling him to continue, un-
der certain conditions, his campaign
to better the status of "the untouch-
ables."
Gandhi's final agreement to the
government's terms was awaited this
evening. This would enable him to
gain his point without missing a
single of his frugal meals. He had
planned to eat this evening before
starting the fast.
Gandhi was arrested August 1 as
he was about to launch a new civil
disobedience campaign. He was sen-
tenced to Yeroda jail here for a one
year term with his former privileges
denied him.
The Mahatma had written to the
Inspector General of jails asking for
the rights he enjoyed during his pre-
vious term of sixteen months in Yer-
oda jail, which ended last May. He
was released then because the gov-
ernment did not wish to assume re-
sponsibility for 'his , healtr after he
started a three-week protest against
untouchability.
"I might as well be dead if I am
not allowed to proceed with my work,
which is my very life," Gandhi said
in an ultimatum threatening the new
fast unless the concessions were
granted.'
Gandhi has been unable to supply
his customary articles to the press
this week. It was presumed authori-
ties had denied him the privilege
of seeing newspaper men.
Market Slips A
Bit During Day
Of Uncertainty
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-(IP)-Fi-
nancial markets slipped and fell to-
day but, with some late support,
managed to get back on their feet
and resume their limping jog alng
the pathway of uncertain prices.
While few bones were broken in
the sprawl, many bruises were notice-
able. By and large, stocks suffered
losses of from 1 to .2 or more points
at the close, although during the un-
expected spill declines ran as high as
5 points.
Released from their minimum
price "peg," grains at Chicago yield-
ed the full amount permitted for a
single day's fluctuations. Cotton was

weak most of the day, but final de-
clines were held to around a dollar
a bale. Secondary bonds generally
followed stocks. The dollar was firm
in the foreign exchange markets, al-
though price changes were usually
narrow. Wheat at Winnipeg, now re-
stricted to a minimum price, fell
about 2 cents a bushel. Commodities
were easy.
The bulk of the transfer in the
share market was sandwiched in the
mid-day hour when selling was heav-
iest. This total volume amounted to
1,803,260 shares, or'about double 'that
of yesterday. The Associated Press-
Standard Statistics average of 90
selected stocks declined 2.2 points.
The security markets were clearly
perturbed by the tangled situation
existing in the American and Cana-
dian grain pits. Likewise, a wary
eye was cast oh the confusion sur-
rounding some of the developments
of the National Recovery Program
which have retarded progress in the
drafting of codes for a few of the

Executive To Take Action
In Garment Strike Tangle
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-(P)-The
first major industrial strike in the
metropolitan area since creation of
the NRA-a walkout of 60,000 gar-
ment workers-was only a few hours
old today Then the Government
stepped in to mediate.
Former Police Commissioner Gro-
ver A. Whalen, chairman of the City
Committee of the NRA, was au-
thorized by the National Labor Board
at Washington to negotiate a settle-
ment. He will confer with leaders of
the workers tomorrow.
Whalen said that he had been in
telephonic communication with Gen.
Hugh S. Johnson and that the NRA
administration was in full accord
with his mediation endeavors.
The strike, which has as its object
higher wages and the end of the
sweatshop, according to labor lead-
ers, affected garment workers in New
York, New Jersey,. parts of eastern
Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
Only Six Arrested
The strike started at'10 a. n., al-
though the busy garment district be-
tween 30th and 40th streets was
crowded with strikers, police reported
only minor disturbances and only six
arrests.
The walkout was described as the
"most peaceful and satisfactory" of
New York's seasonal strikes at the
headquarters of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union,
which had 30,000 workers participat-
ing.
The 14 halls in Manhattan and
Brooklyn where the striking assem-
bled to register were crowded.
The walkout was reported by labor
leaders to have been 100 per cent
successful in New Haven, Conn., and
in New Brunswick, South River, Lodi,
Paccaic and Patterson in New Jersey.-
No official word has been received
here late today from the Pennsyl-
vania strike area.
'Blow To Sweatshops'
Labor leaders claimed that the
strike would deal a final blow to
sweatshop 'conditions in the indus-
try which they allege have existed for
years.
"The President is with us, the pub-
lie is with us and the prospect of al-
leviating the shameful conditions in
this industry is brighter than at any
time in the past," said David Dubin-
sky, president of the union.
"They are striking against a sys-
tem that rewards the worker with as
little as 32 cents for a garment that
retails for $6," said Julius Hochman,
chairman of the joint board of the
union.
Abbott takes Oath Before
Circuit Judge Moynihan
Horatio J. Abbott, of this city,
yesterday was formally sworn in as
collector of internal revenue for
Michigan. The oath was administer-
ed at 10:45 a. m. by Circuit Judge
Joseph A. Moynihan in his office,
with numerous friends and well-
wishers of the new official present.
Although the position is one of the
largest patronage dispensing posts in
the State, there being 150 employes
who are largely appointed in the
department, Mr. 'Abbott stated that
he is not considering any general re-
organization because trained men are
needed for the work that is done. He
added that more than two-thirds of
the present personnel are Democrats.

Pledges Also Needed
Automobile, Coal,
Organizations

For
Oil

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-(A)-
President Roosevelt tonight was
moving the Administration and four
of the Nation's great basic industries
toward an open showdown upon the
force of the National Recovery or-
ganization.
Out of significant conferences at
the White House, NRA headquarters
and in scattered hotel rooms there
came indications that the full pres-
sure of the Government was being
exerted to bring steel, coal, oil and
automobiles under codes at the ear-
liest possible moment.
Also moving into position for an
interpretation by the Administration,
which may find its way into the
courts, was the collective bargaining
guarantee for labor, upon which vir-
tually all major disagreements be-
tween capital and workers has cen-
tered.
President Is In Command
President Roosevelt took command
of the campaign by confering at the
White House with Myron C. Taylor,
chairman of United States Steel, and
Charles Schwab, chairman of the
Bethlehem Steel Corp. summoning
them after Steel's open break with
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor.
Green,, who also s the l.abor ,ad.-
viser of the NRA for the automobile
code-hearings for which open Fri-
day-sat in for several hours at the
conference of the auto men with
Deputy Robert W. Lea.
As the meeting adjourned both
Green and spokesmen for the indus-
try expressed appreciation for the
co-operative spirit shown by the
other.
The session dealt primarily with
the hours of work proposed by the,
automobile industry, namely a thirty
five hour week with a forty-eight-
hour maximum during seasonal pe-
riods.
Lea said that the open shop labor
provision of the automobile code had
not been discussed and would be left
for the hearing. Whether the NRA
will demand that it be withdrawn as
a modification of the collective bar-
gaining guarantee in the law Lea de-
ciined to say.
Industrial Leaders Called
Out of this round of conferences
no formal announcements came. I-
portant business men moved in and
out of the office of Hugh S. John-
son, the administrator, But all were
as silent, as was the White House
upon the Steel meeting there.
However, Secretary of Labor Fran-
ces Perkins at whose" office the rup-
ture between Steel and Labor's
spokesmen took place, moved swiftly
to restore peace.
She announced that in order to fa-
cilitate a quick agreement on the
steel code, statisticians and technical
experts for the operators and those
of the Labor Advisory Committee of
NRA would. seek a comhnon under-
standing and report to Johnson.
With oil men summoned here to-
morrow by the administrator to re-
ceive the Administration's views upon
the code, it was indicated that revi-
sions were still being made.
Representatives of° some of. the
larger non-union bituminous coal
producers were called to Washingtont
and expected the Administration to
renew its request for removal of the
open shop clause from their pro-
posed code.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-(P)--A new
wrinkle or two on how'to keep awake
while trying to smash a: long-dis-

Gen. Francesco de Pinedo on his
proposed flight to' nowhere.
De Pinedo expects to lift his ton
monoplane, loaded with 1,100 gallons

port tomorrow morning; cross. the
Atlantic, circle Rome and then fly
eastward to wherever winds, fate and
his own judgment will take him.
