Official Publication Of The Summer Session "Mmomm" VOL. XLV No. 33 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, AUG. 7, 1936 PRICE 5 CENTS - I t I Lovelock Surpasses Old Record New Zealand Runner Gains Spectacular Victory In 1,500-Meter Run Glenn Cunningham Trails By 5 Meters America Sweeps Hurdling Events As Towns Beats British Star BERLIN, Aug. 6.- (A) - Gliding flawlessly to a world record triumph at a speed which, if sustained, would have approximated a 4:03 mile, New Zealand's John Edward Lovelock raced off with the classic Olympic 1,500 meter championship today. The curly-haired, supremely confi- dent little medical student staggered the world's foremost milers by un- corking a final 300 meter sprint,. standing' off the lion-hearted chal- lenge of the great Glenn Cunningham and clipping a full second off Bill Bonthron's world record time of 3:48.8. Has 5-Meter Lead Lovelock actually looked over his shoulder with a broad smile across his face during the stretch drive that carried him to the tape nearly five meters ahead of the Lawrence, Kans. star in 3:47.8. Cunningham ran the greatest race of his career, himself under the listed world record as he was clocked in 3:48.4, but there was no runner in the world who could catch nimble Jack this afternoon, including Luigi Beccali, Italy's dlefending champion, ard Archie San Romani, America's "dark horse," who ran third and fourth. Lovelock's dazzling triumph in the race which -saw five foot racers fin- ish under Beccali's former Olympic mark of 3:51.2 thrilled an overflow crowd of 105,000, including Chancel- lor Hitler, and climaxed the most spectacular day thus far of the 11th Olympiad which fast is wiping out the majority of previous Olympic standards. Ties Own Mark America's hurdling sweep was com- pleted by the incomparable Forrest (Spec) Towns of Augusta, Ga., who flashed over the high timber, equal- ling his own new world mark of 14.1 seconds in the semi-finals and then out-footing Great Britain's Don Fin-j lay and Fritz Pollard, Jr., Chicago negro, in a 14.2 seconds final. No records were beaten in the jave- lin final, but Germany's handsome blond Bernardt Stoeck broke the Scandinavian monopoly for the first time in Olympic history, beating Fin- nish favorites, including the world record-holder, Matti Jarvinen, who was handicapped by a lame back and wound up fifth in defense of his crown won at Los Angeles four years ago. Stoeck's winning toss mea- sured 71.84 meters, 235 feet 8 13/32 inches. Japan Wins Broad Jump The brightest and warmest day since the competition began was fin- ished spectacularly by Japan's Naoto Tajima, who hopped, stepped and jumped to a new world record of 16 meters, 52 feet 5 15/16 inches in the triple jump. The sons of Nippon fin- ished one-two, capturing their spe- cialty for the third straight Olympiad and whipping another world-record holder, Jack Metcalfe of Australia, at his own game. Metcalfe placed third as Roland Romero, of Welsh, La., was a good fifth. World records have been achieved in four events and equalled in, an- other during the spree overshadowing the superlative marks made under vastly superior weather conditions four years ago at Los Angeles. Thus far Americans have contributed six of ten new records, carried off nine first places and spread-eagled their rivals with a total of 153 points. Ger- many holds down second place with 54 3/4 points.

Moynihan, who heard testimony without a jury. The trial ended suddenly after re- buttal witnesses testified and attor- neys waived final arguments before the circuit judge as to whether there was proof that the six men abducted Penland, a steel worker, on Oct. 5, 1935, and lashed him in a field for not attending Black Legion meetings. Defendants in the trial, first since the investigation of Black Legion ter- rorism began two months ago, are: Frederick A. Gulley, who repudiated his previous testimony of a flogging; Wilbur Robinson, self-styled "briga-. dier-general" in the Black Legion; Charles King, former councilman of suburban Ecorse; Thomas F. Cox, Harold Lawrence and Earl Angstadt Coercion Charges Made Charges and counter-charges of coercion and influence upon Gulley .were made with rebuttal witnesses. Questioned by Prosecutor Duncan C. McCrea, Sergt. Robert McWhirter of suburban Ecorse police testified that Gulley told him he was "approached" by Bernard W. Cruse, defense attor- ney. McWhirter, one of the policemen Gulley accused of plotting the Pen- land case as a "frame up" to break the Black Legion, testified that Gul- ley came to him before the trial and said: "Can't you keep Cruse away from me? He's at me all the time and he's offered me any amount of money to change my testimony." Denies Statement Gulley, put back on the stand by Cruse, denied making this statement to McWhirter. He said that when he told Harry Colburn, an investigator for McCrea, that he did not want to repeat the story he told at the men's examination a month ago, Colburn said: "What are you trying to do--make a fool out of the prosecutor's office?" Gulley said he replied: "No-I don't want to send innocent men to jail." Lieut. David Genaw, the other Ecorse policeman Gulley accused ofI urging him to "make up" a story of Penland being flogged, testified: "Gulley and Cox were on the spot. They had stayed away from meetings and on two occasions they had been brought out to meetings. They were afraid of being flogged themselves. That was why they came to us with the story." HOLD CONVENTION MANISTEE, Aug. 6.-(P)-Mem- Farley Tactics Cause Protest Meeting Here Five Democratic Leaders Meet In Union Until Early Morning Support Of Welsh Seen As Possibility, Resentment Aroused Farley's Interference State Campaign By In Five leaders of the Democratic party of Michigan gathered last night in a private room in the Union at a time which promises to be a criticala one for the President's party here. The five were: Murray Van Wag- goner, highway commissioner and head of a powerful bloc of Democrats; G. Donald Kennedy, deputy highway commissioner; Theodore I. Fry, State treasurer; George Welsh, candidate for governor; and William A. Com- stock, former governor. The group had earlier this week warned James A. Farley, Democratic national chairman, that interference in the State election would not be tolerated. The meeting, apparently, was called in response to the continu- ation of Farley's efforts to secure the use of the highly organized State highway department under Van Wag- goner in supporting Frank Murphy, the Administration's candidate for governor. The meeting lasted from 10 p.m. until early morning and had not been announced in advance. Because of the possible split in the ranks of the Democrats and the ap- parently growing strength of Welsh, it was said by Farley that President Roosevelt might come to Michigan in the course of his first campaign swing around the country. Michigan Democratic leaders are to be sum- moned to Washington for a confer- ence shortly, it had been planned. Murphy became a candidate for governor at the request of the Ad- ministration. He is on leave from his duties as High Commissioner of the Philippines. Detroit Rookie Pitches Tigers To 9-0_Victory Wade Shuts Out Cleveland To Win His First Major League Contest DETROIT, Aug. 6.-(P)-Rookie Jake Wade all but pitched the Cleve- land Indians out of second place in the American League today, holding them to seven hits as the Tigers clubbed out a 9 to 0 victory-their third in the four-game series. The Tigers fired a 16-hit barrage on Willis Hudlin and George Uhle, featured by Goose Goslin's 18th hom- er and Marvin Owen's eighth, to give Wade his first victory since the De- troiters recalled him from the Inter- national League. Hudlin, who gave way to Uhle at the start of a five-run Tiger spree in the eighth, was charged with the set- back. Allows 7 Hits Wade allowed only seven hits. In i sharp contrast to his first game as a Tiger Sunday, when he issued nine passes, he walked only two men to- day. Goslin and Gerald Walker led the Tiger attack. Walter got a double and two singles out of five times at bat. Goslin got two singles in addi- tion to his circuit clout out of four times. Al Simmons, Jack Burns and Owen got two out of five. Detroit did all of its scoring in three big innings. They started off with two in the third. With one out, Burns was safe when Trosky fumbled h's grounder. Gehringer grounded but Goslin walked and Simmons scored Burns with a single. Owen beat out a slow roller, Goslin scoring. Gehringer Doubles The next brace of runs came in the seventh when Gehringer doubled and Goslin hit for the circuit against the screen in front of the upper right field bleachers. Although the ball bounced back into the playing field, it was a homer under the rules. 2,000 Rebels Reported Captured By Loyalists At Cadizj Madrid Prepares For 2-Month Siege Four German Citizens Are Reported Executed At Barcelona MADRID, Aug. 6.-(/P)-Spanish loyalists tonight claimed surrender of rebel Cadiz in the south, smashed toward northern Zaragoza with cap- ture of 2,000 fascists, and dug in for two more months of warfare to quell the 20-day-old rebellion. Landing of 4,000 additional Moroc- can troops on the Spanish mainland, after a five-hour battle in the Straits of Gibraltar, was the chief rebel gain for the day. It brought to 8,000 the African forces now available to the southern Fascists. Want Munitions Both sides, admittedly in the mar- ket for munitions, faced the problem of finding any available to them with announcement eight European na- tions had agreed in principle to supply neither Fascists nor Loyalists with arms. Capture of Cadiz marked an impor- tant advance by the Loyalists who had been unable to penetrate the southern sector effectively since the revolt began. (Berlin dispatches reported four German citizens had been executed at Barcelona after brief courtmartial, although they carried necessary iden- tification popers. The German am- bassador delivered a protest to the Barcelona government. (French advices from Morocco as- serted German warships were sta- tioned off Cadiz, and reported rumors they might go to Barcelona to de- mand apology for bombardment of the German freighter Sevilla in the Gibraltar straits). Likewise, the advance toward Zara- goza was an invasion of strongly in- trenched rebel territory. The govern- ment army was 11 miles from the rebel city at' nightfall. Loyalists To Advance Surrender of the 2,000 rebels opened the road for swift advance, the Loy- alists asserted. An aerial survey of Fascist posi- tions inspired admission that the campaign to put down the revolt in all sectors would be a long, bitter battle. Abandoning first efforts to dislodge the foe in one or two crushing ad- vances, loyal forces settled down for prolonged warfare in the Guadar- rama mountains outside Madrid. Aviation chiefs asserted enemy po- sitions were so well fortified, it was highly improbable the Fascists could be blasted out before the better part of two months. 8 RESCUED FROM BURNING BOAT SPRAGGE, Ont., Aug. 6.--(P) - Eight persons were rescued today from a motorboat when the craft burned to the water line in Lake Superior after the motor exploded.

The pictures, you see, are these: "The First Baby" and "Then They Were Married." Officials Begin Probe Of Fatal Airliner Crash Cause Of Accident Sought In Wreckage; Witnesses Aid Investigation ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6.-()-In its battered instruments and retracted landing gear, investigators sought to- day the cause of the crash which last night killed all eight persons aboard Chicago and Southern's air- liner, "The City of Memphis." Why Pilot Carl Zier turned and started back for Lambert-St. Louis municipal airport, within a few min- utes after he had taken off for Chi- cago, was a mystery the investigators hoped to dispel. Declining to speculate, Bureau of Air Commerce inspectors studied the wreckage and considered the stories of several near eye-witnesses. From Pilot James Benedict, who brought the plane into St. Louis from New Orleans, they learned it was in per- fect mechanical order when he land- ed. The first results of the investiga- tion may be given tomorrow when St. Louis County Coroner Luke B. Tier- non conducts an inquest into the deaths of Zier, his co-pilot, Russell C. Mossman, and the six passengers. They were: Vernon C. Omilie, widely known airman and husband of Mrs. Phoebe Omlie, former racing pilot and now a Bureau of Air Commerce official. W. S. Bartlett, 6930 South Shore Drive, Chicago, associated with the Great Lakes Coal & Coke Co. B. R. McDavitt, 55 Bellevue Drive Chicago, a commercial artist. C. B.

Disturbed over the potential men- ace to America's $70,000,000 invest- ment in that country, the State De- 'partment disclosed it had dispatched a note to Madrid invoking the aid of Spanish authorities in safeguarding American property and warning that compensation must be paid for any damages. Must Have Protection "This government cannot admit that private property, whether in the hands of American nationals or aban- doned by them temporarily because of conditions over which they have no control, may be interfered with im- punity or denied the protection to which it is entitled under interna- tional law," said a summary of the note released here. "This government must, of course, look to the government of Spain for the protection of such property and for 'indemnification for any delin- quency in this respect. "In the event of requisition for the necessities of war or other wise of American property this government must insist that provision be made for prompt and full compensation to the owners." The language of the note, some ob- servers predicted, foreshadowed a probable early claim against the Spanish government for the recent seizure of the Ford Motor Company and General Motors Corporation plants at Barcelona. Anxious Over Property Concern over these circumstances, as well as anxiety lest other American properties share a similar fate, im- pelled the State Department to make its formal representations. These reports, reaching Washing- ton through official channels but not officially confirmed, were to the ef- fect that the seizure of abandoned factories would be permanent and that no appeal would be admissible. One extract from the reports said: "All ministry of industry and com- merce provisional measures probably will become permanent because a new state must be created in accord- ance with the circumstances through which the Republic is passing." The seizures of the motor plants in Bardelona were believed here to rep- resent the first large scale requisi- tioning of American property abroad since the 1917 Bolshevik revolution in Russia. The Soviet regime repudiat- ed the obligations of the former gov- ernment and American claims amounting to almost $500,000,000 for propertyconfiscated then have not been settled.

SHULMAN We must turn once again to a faith in abiding spiritual values, the poet Dante would tell our modern world, which has substituted for those values materialism, behaviorism and other transient 'isms,' declared Prof. Camillo P. Merlino, director of Italian studies, last night. His talk, a spe- cial lecture in the Summer Session series was entitled "Dante's Message to the Modern World." "In Dante's thought, the true riches for life here below can be acquired through the exercise of the Cardinal or Moral virtues-Prudence, Temper- ance, Fortitude and Justice--and for life in the hereafter by the possession of the Evangelical or Christian virtues ( now, all too sad for our own peace of mind and heart, seem, as then, to defy a solution," he said. The advance of the modern woirld, said Professor Merlino, quoting Dr.M Harry Emerson Fosdick, represents merely "improved means toward un- improved ends." "It may well be pon- dered," Professor Merlino suggested, "if 'in our natural eagerness to pay homage to the mental and physical prowess of man, we are not losing sight of the fact that there is a do- main which transcends this universe of mind and matter, and which for this very reason cannot be subject to or controlled by reason or by the intellect.
