To Offer New Curriculum In Public Health New courses in the division of public health and hygiene will be added to the University curriculum through.the cooperation of the Unit- ed States Public Health Service, it was announced yesterday.

Sayers of the public health service and Prof. John Sundwall, di- rector of the division of public health and hygiene of the University. One of the features of the cooper- ative program is a course in indus- trial hygiene. Engineering and medical phases of the industrial hy- giene curriculum will be a part of the service to be conducted. Plans are now being made for the government to loan the University several men as temporary lectures in this field during the coming year, according touofficials who have been working with Johns Hopkins Uni- Enters Convent Louis To Try Comeback In SharkeyBout Odds Slightly In Favor Of Detroit's Brown Bomber;I Both Are Confident Ump Stricken As Private Plays Duck-on-the-rock BATTLE CREEK, Aug. 17.-(P) -The yearning of a private on grenade duty for realism in the second army war maneuvers sent an umpire to the hospital today with head injuries. The private complained to his captain that lie couldn't stop any motor trucks by waving his arm as he pretended to throw grenades, and the captain jokingly asked: "Why not throw a rock at them." The soldier did just that. The rock bounced off the head of an umpire riding by on a truck, and the arbiter was counted out as a casualty.

Hoban of Rock- ford, Ill., conducted the ceremonies, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. Henry J. Shroeder of the Do- minican House of Studies at River Forest, Ill. Miss Maynard was widely known in Ann Arbor because of her promi- nence in campus activities. She was a member of the League Trio with Mary Morrison, '35, and Jean See- ley, '36. These vocalists wvere fea- tured in many programs on the cam- pus, and also appeared on radio pro- grams. She was a member of the Pi Phi sorority and of Mortarboard, honor society for senior women.

CoufFlhlin Plans Complete Rest AfterCollapse Ten-Day Seclusion Caused By Illness During Radio Broadcast Sunday DETROIT, Aug. 17.-(P)-The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, exhausted by in- tensive work for the Presidential candidacy of William Lemke and preparation for the national coven- tion of his Union for Social Justice at Cleveland, cancelled all his en- gagements today to obtain ten days of complete rest ordered by his physi- cians. He retired to the home of his mother in Royal Oak, and said he would seclude himself even from his friends. Father Coughlin became ill while addressing the convention Sunday in Cleveland's municipal stadium. For ten minutes before he ceased speak- ing, he said today, the audience was a blur, to him. "Then everything went black, he added. "I turned around and fell into the arms of a policeman." He said he remembered "turning to somebody and asking how much longer before the radio time on our National Broadcast ended. They said 18 minutes. I started to faint. I had to grip the rostrum to stand at all." The priest's future plans were in- definite tonight, pending his recovery from his illness. Sherwood Wins 1st Round In Tourney Miller Sherwood, '37, president of the Men's Council and captain of next year's varsity tennis team, yes- terday defeated Teddy Russell of Chicago, 6-0, 6-0, in the opening round of the eleventh annual Mich- igan Riviera Tennis championship being held at Charlevoix, Associated Press dispatches reported last night. Harris Coggeshall of Des Moines, defending champion, was hard- pressed to defeat his first round op- ponent, William Rathbun of Toledo, Q. CoGbshl wo~~~un aftr subQlhTivi Victory By Knockout Is Expected Before Sixth Round Of Melee NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-()-Faced with the biggest test of his meteoric career, Joe Louis hits the comeback trail tomorrow night in a ten-round bout with Jack Sharkey in the Yan- kee Stadium. Although generally picked to beat the veteran Boston sailor, also in the midst of a comeback drive, the short odds plainly show the fans are not as sure of the youngDetroiter as they were prior to his defeat by Max Schmeling two months ago. Louis was a 7 to 5 favorite tonight. The odds were hammered down from 8 to 5 with the arrival on Broadway of the advance guard of several hun- dred Sharkey supporters from Bos- ton. With fair weather promised, Pro- moter Mike Jacobs confidently pre- dicted a crowd of 50,000, a gate of $200,000. Off to a slow start ticket sales picked up last week as interest heightened and for the past three days there has been an old time rush ;for pasteboards. Both battlers were pronounced fit and ready at their training camps today. Sharkey broke camp at Orangeburg. Louis will not leave Pompton Lakes, N.J., until two hours before the weighing-in ceremonies at the New York Hippodrome at noon tomorrow. While most of the experts are pick- ing Louis to do a right-about-face and polish off the squire of Chestnut Hill with the same vicious knockout wallop that disposed of Max Baer, Primo Carnera and most of the Negro's other opponents, Sharkey is not without supporters. The 33-year-old former champion has worked hard and earnestly, has attained perfect physical condition and seems determined to prove he is just as good as when he took the title from Schmeling in 1932. Sharkey thinks he is meeting Louis at a most favorable time. With many others he shares the opinion that the Brown Bomber is being sent back to the ring entirely too soon after the walloping Schmeling gave him. "He's been winning because he hasn't had any opposition," said Sharkey of Louis. "Schmeling showed Joe can be hit and Joe showed he didn't like being hit. I'll hit him and I'll beat him." The fight experts, almost to a man, say a knockout will end the fight. Most of them think the finish will come anywhere from the first to the sixth round. PHELPS WINS TITLE Two Southerners fought it out for the Intramural Summer School ten- nis title. Ashton Phelps, former Tu- lane netter took the championship from Bill Bell, number 2 man on the University of Alabama team and run- ner-up in the Ann Arbor City Cham- pionships.held last month. The scores were 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Phelps had eliminated the last local player, John Edmonds, in the semi- final by a score of 6-3, 7-5. Panza- rella and Lau won the doubles title in straight sets, 7-5, 6-0. 'E 's G C QuebecVoting Union Nationale Takes 71 Seats Out Of Parliament Of 90 Members QUEBEC, Aug. 17.-(/P)-The Un- ion Nationale party, with a slogan "reform," swept into power in Quebec Province tonight. It won an apparent overwhelming victory in the provincial elections to end the 39-year domination of the Liberal party in the provincial legis- lature. Premier Odelard Godbout, who suc- ceeded Louis Alaxandre Tascherau last June, lost his own seat. Many members of his cabinet also were de- feated including Lucien Dugas, speak- er of the house; Wilfred Gognon, minister of commerce and industry; and Stuart McDougall, provincial treasurer. The Union Nationale party, the Canadian press reported from re- turns at 8:30 p.m. (E.S.T.) held 71 seats. The Liberals had carried 11 constituencies and 8 others in the 90 member house were listed as doubtful. The early returns gave the Union National a wide margin beyond the 45 seats necessary for a government defeat. Maurce Duplessis, leader of the Conservative-Insurgent bloc compos- ing the Union Nationale, was con- ceded election by his Liberal oppon- ent, Philippe Bigue, half an hour after the ballot counting started. The defeat was the first suffered by a Liberal administration in Que- bec since the turn of the century. Since 1897 the province had been consistently liberal. The Liberals campaigned under the slogan "Keep the farmers on the farms." The Union National retorted: "Re- form!" Duplessis pledged to continue an investigation into alleged irregulari- ties. Resorts Imperiled By IsleRoyale Fire HOUGHTON, Aug. 17.-(P)-The forest fire situation appeared more serious today on Isle Royale as a stiff northwest wind blew over the island, and reports received here. indicated the blaze was burning briskly in two areas. Flames approached within half a mile of the Chippewa Harbor resort owned by Holger Johnson, and only a change in the wind can prevent de- struction of the resort, National Park Service officials were advised. A crew of 150 men is guarding the re- sort and the CCC side camp at Chip- pewa Harbor. Several boats are standing by to evacuate the crew if necessary. Warnings To Leave Spain Disregarded By 165 In Madrid Alone Families, Business, Given As Reasons Number Evacuated From War Zone Reaches 750, State Department Says WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.--(MP- Americans were reported tonightto be moving out of Spain by air, rail, and sea, but the State department estimated that from 300 to 400 were disregarding, its repeated warnings to leave. Even in Madrid, where Americans were warned Friday that they re- mained at their own risk, officials re- ported 165 staying, including 49 be- ing given refuge at the embassy. Others were scattered throughout the country. Most of those who have refused to leave have done so for family or bus- iness reasons, the state department1 has been advised. Reports reaching Washington dur- ing thetday of additional evacuations,1 brought to approximately 750 the e total number of Americans who havee been taken from thedanger zone. Prominent on today's list was Mrs.- Petronila. Gallardo, daughter of Col-f onel David McKay, of Tampa, Fla. She was flown from Madrid to Mar- seilles, France by airplane. Amer- ican consul John P. Hurley at Mar- seilles reportedhher safe arrival there but gave no further details. Mrs. Gal- lardo had been ill in Spain for sev- eral months. Reassuring advices concerning J. 0. Ambler, an American mining en-1 gineer, of San Antonio, Tex., who for a time has been in a precarious sit- uation near Huelva, also were re- ceived. He was reported by the Rio1 Tinto Mining Corporation at London1 to have arrived safely at Huelva after being held as a hostage for several days along with other foreign mem-1 bers %f the mining company's staff at their mines. Ambler was reported to be pro- ceeding to Gibraltar.y Manila Hit By Typhoons; 100; Reported Dead] Heavy Storms Sweep East To China, Leaving Ruin Behind InPhilippines MANILA, Aug. 18-(Tuesday)-(P) -Death-dealing typhoons which spread waste and destruction across Northern Luzon and the Philippine waters, raced toward the China coast; tonight where 100 men were report- ed in a storm-tumbled landslide. At least 13 persons were killed three ships crippled and native homes and crops in Luzon destroyed by the. 60-mile-per-hour gales that lashed the northern shores. The storms toppled lighthouses, adding to the marine hazards. The Manila government, fearful of a larger death toll report when crip- pled communication lines are re- stored, took steps to aid homeless residents in the northern provinces where crops were reported 90 per cent destroyed in some areas. The storm swept in Saturday, hurl- ing the Coast and Geodetic Survey vessel, Fathomer, on a reef at Port San Vincente, and wrecking an un- listed boat, Dewtee. The Fathomer's crew of American officers and Filipino seamen made shore safely, but no word came from the Dewtee, which called for help after running aground. The most severe typhoon since 1923 struck the Hong Kong region, tossing the British vessel Sunning, with 40 passengers, aground in Junk Bay.

The fierce hand-to-hand fighting was reported to be the most sanguin- ary of, the 31-day-old civil war. No quarter was being asked or given by either side, as the govern- ment hurled bayoneted legions against the stubbornly fighting rebel defenders of strategic border position. North of Madrid the steady bom- bardment of Guadarrama continued into the night unbated, with little de- cisive progress reported by either side. The government said Loyalist col- umns continued their advances into Andalucia, with Loyalists occupying a number of strategic positions near Teruel where it was expected the rebel stronghold would be stormed within a day or two. 'Victory March' Proceeds Spanish government troops drove on tonight in their "victory march" across the Island of Mallorca, after scotching Fascist rebels barricaded in the Gijon jail. The group of rebels, sniping from the grilled windows of the jail and from the army engineers' barracks, surrendered after many were killed, the government announced. (In London, however, it was report- ed that 500 'government troops were killed and 250 taken prisoners in a rebel ambush on the Balearic Island of Mallorca. The report said -the rebels allowed the government troops to land unmolested, then decoyed them into a trap). Meanwhile a major battle was im- minent at Palma, the capital of Mal- lorca, as the government troops be- gan a new major offensive. Loyalist leaders reported that three columns of their troops had captured several towns and that everywhere the in- vaders were greeted by the citizenery with cries of "long live the Republic." Rebels Report Action (Smashing rebel victories on the Madrid and Zaragoza fronts were re- ported by rebel headquarters at Bur- gos. The government defenders out- side Madrid were beaten off in a bloody counter-attack against be- seiging rebels, it was announced at Burgos. (The rebel leaders declared the government troops had been driven back toward Guadalajara, and that an "important victory" had been scored by rebel forces near Zaragoza. The rebels reported 600 government soldiers killed and 150 captured. 1 (General Francisco Franco, leader, of the insurgents, meanwhile visited his forces' headquarters and con- ferred with commanders of the north- ern rebel wing). Teruel Province Threatened The government announced simul- taneously that its forces had cap- tured the towns of klberobajo, Taller and San Daniel, in Northeastern Huesca province. As Loyalist and rebel forces con- verged slowly on Teruel Province, in Eastern Spain, the prospect of an encounter caused peasants to flee. 'Fighting stubbornly to head off the rebel drive on Madrid, government troops clashed with rebels in sporadic battles throughout southeastern Ba- dajoz Province. Meanwhile the government cabinet met on the 31st day of the civil war- 'Chalk -Dust' Is Clever Satire On Modern Educational Methods By ELSIE ROXBOROUGH For the very first time, school teachers will act as school teachers, poking fun at their own short com- ings, when "Chalk Dust," the Clarke and Nurnberg variorum of high+ school trials and tribulations, opens at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre to- night. The theme of 'Chalk Dust,' is quite appropriate for the Summer Session, Claribel Baird, assistant director of the play said. "We hope it will be the most amusing show of the sea- itself," Mrs. Baird continued. "Clark and Nurnberg have included all of the typical characters of high school life. There is the traditional group of gossipy women together with scenes from the men's quarters that even-outdo those of the women," she went on. "The high school teachers who see the play can have a look-in on their own frailties, largely played by ac- tual high school teachers. Mr. Cran- dall, the director, has employed type- casting in choosing the various char- acters," she added.
