As Court Of The Queen
By CHARLOTTE D. RUEGER
Jane Fletcher, '36, was elected cam-
pus queen last night by a large au-
dience of dancers at the first Summer
Prom of the season, held from 9 p.m.
until midnight in the ballroom of the
League.
Miss Fletcher has been prominent
on campus, being chairman of the
dance committee for the Junior Girls'
Play as well as the Sophomore Cab-
aret. She has served on several dance
committees, and been active in class
affairs.
Promptly at 11 p.m., amidst a blast
of trumpets, the queen was announced
to the capacity crowd attending the
Prom. The grand march started with
Miss Fletcher leading the line with
her escort, Donald Miller. Imme-
diately behind them came her court,
consisting of Jean Coler, attending
with John Healey, Janet Miller, with
Jerry Hines, and Mary Stirling with
Fred Norton.
Sdvere Pink Formal
For the Prom Miss Fletcher chose
a Severely simple pink crepe formal
accented by a row of matching but-
tons running up the back. The dress
flowed into a short train. Her only
accessories were long rhinestone ear-f
rings. In her arms, she carried an
old-fashioned bouquet of spring flow-
ers which wer: presented to her by
Jean Seeley, chairman of the summer
social activities.
Miss Coler selected a pink chiffonj
formal banded the full length with
Irish crochet. Her dress was cut on
princess lines flowing into a short
train. Her formal was completed
by a three-quairter length jacket
which tied with a saucy bow at the
neckline.'
Miss Miller In White
Miss Miller, prominent member of -
this year's Junior Girls' Play, wore
a strikingly simple white crepe for-
mal accented by a moire jacket of the
new American Beauty shade. The
jacket was fashioned with a high
neckline. Miss Miller wore no acces-
sories.
The fourth member of Miss Fletch-
er's court, Miss Stirling, prominent
senior on campus who has served
on several dance committees as well
as class projects, was dressed in a
green formal trimmed up the back
by a long series of ruffles in an invert-
ed "V."
During the line of march a colorful
array of balloons descended from
the ceiling where they had been
caught by a net. The ballroom was
decorated as a true fairyland for the
Prom, being lighted by a myriad of
tiny lanterns with Al Cowan's music
furnishing the background.
A special floor show with dancing,
novelties, song specialities, and var-
ious other types of entertainment was
presented in addition to the program
planned by the orchestra. One of the
highlights of the show was reached
when the original "Lady in Red"
made her Ann Arbor debut doing sev-
er.al modernistic song and dance
numbers.

The Michigan Repertory Players-
will combine with the School of Music
'for the first time in the presentation
of "The Chocolate Soldier;" an oper-
etta by Oscar Straus and Stanislaus
Stange, which will open Wednesday
night at the Lydia Mendelssohn The-
ater for a foui-day run.
The University orchestra of 24
pieces, directed by Prof. David Mat-
tern of the School of Music, will play
for the show. Joseph Conlin will have
charge of the chorus of 40 voices, who
will sing the most popular songs of the
production. Valcntine B. Windt, di-
rector of the Repertory Players, is
directing the play.
The plot of "The Chocolate Sol-
dier," which is based upon George
Bernard Shaw's play, "Aims and the
Man," takes place in Bulgaria. A
young Servian soldier who has es-
caped from the Bulgarian troops
takes refuge in the bedroom of a
young Bulgarian girl, and induces her
to protect him.
Although Play Production has col-
laborated with the School of Music in
several musical shows during the reg-
ular year, this is the first time that
the two departments have been com-
bined during the summer term.
Among the shows which the two
groups have given together during
the winter term are "Iolanthe," "The
Gondoliers," and "A Midsummer
Night's Dream."
Because of the heavy advance sale'
of tickets for "The Chocolate Soldier,"
a special matinee has been arranged.
The matinee will be held at 2:30 p.m.
Saturday.

MOSCOW, Aug. 3. - (Sunday) -
UP) -Oil trouble over the icy Bar-,
rents Sea tonight thwarted 'the am-
bitious attempt of three Russians to
fly non-stop from Moscow to San
Francisco across the North Pole.
A defective oil line spoiled their
dream of setting a new world's non-
stop record in a 6,000-mile hop. The
fliers turned about when over the
southern part of the sea and returned
to Leningrad at 3:30 p.m. E.S.T. 1
MOSCOW, Aug. 3. - (I') - The
scarlet-winged Soviet polar plane,
well ahead of schedule, roared over
icy Arctic wastes toward the North
Pole tonight in its attempt to fly non-
stop from Moscow to San Francisco.
All was well as the three confident
Soviet fliers left .continental Europet
today and headed across the 2,3911
miles of ice and water of the Barents1
Sea. This is the most hazardous part
of their projected 6,000-mile flight.<
At 7:25 a.m. Eastern standard time
the radio of the plane UR. S. S. 251
told an excited Moscow that .it had,
started over the sea. They were fly-<
ing tonight in a zone of continuous
daylight.r
The fliers, if they maintained their
first fast clip, expected to soar over,
the North Pole by 9 p.m. Eastern
standard time tonight,.
As the load grew lighter through1
consumption of gasoline, the big plane
traveled at an average speed of 108
miles an hour, although it had been
expected to maintain only an average
of 96 miles.
Pilot Sigmund Levaneffsky, hero of
Soviet aviation, ant is comrades ex-
pected to reach San Francisco early
Monday. If they do they will have
broken the world's non-stop flight
record set in 1933 by the French fliers
Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi.
Ice was a major hazard as the
single-motored plane bore down on
the Pole.
The UR. S. S. 25 lifted its 11 tons
from the Sholfoffsky Military Airport
in a driving rain at 11:03 p.m. Friday,
Eastern standard time. It crossed the
White Sea and reached open water in
less than eight and a half hours.
All Moscow waited eagerly for news
of the venture as the plane flew stead-
ily across the roof of the world. The
craft was made in this country.
Strong winds were expected in the
vicinity of Franz Josef Land, but this
threat was not regarded as serious as
that of ice.
With Levaneffsky, who once flew
to the aid of Jimmy Mattern when
the American pilot was stranded in
Siberia, are co-pilot George Baidukof
and Navigator Victor Lychencko.
Strikers Plan
Battle Against
All High Costs
Detroit Women Repudiate
Charge That Campaign
Is Communistic
'Nothing We Could
Do,' Pleads Packer
Butchers Plan To Close
Shops For Two Weeks
If Strike Continues
DETROIT, Aug. 3 - OP) - Ham-
tramck housewives, whose meat strike
has progressed from hair pulling to
jail storming forcing more than half
the butcher. shops in that and other
suburban centers to close, announced
today that the movement is only the
start of a "general strike against the
high cost of living."
The strikers' statement, signed by
Mrs. Harry Zuk, their leader, said
they intend to win their fight for
lower meat prices and "go on to
the other necessities of life." It in-
cluded a denial of the accusation that
the strike is communistic.
That charge, the manifesto de-
clared, "is part of a ruse on the
part of the butchers and meat pack-
ers to frighten timid people and split
the ranks."
Three women and a man, arrested
in a melee which followed attempts
of a crowd to pour kerosene on meat
being unlodaded at a packing plant
late yesterday, were convicted of dis-
turbing the peace today and placed
on three-months probation each.
The four had been taken to jail
by police answering a riot call, but
were released shortly afterwards when
a crowd of 300 which gathered at the
jail guaranteed their appearance in
court.
Although the Hamtramck meat
shops remained open today display-
ing signs reading "Meat Prices Re-
duced 25 Pr Cent," the picketing con-
tinued and sales were few.
Mrs. Zuk said her "action commit-
tee" had rejected an offer of the
butchers to sell existing stock at re-
duced prices in return for the strik-
ers' promise that subsequently prices
would be in line with wholesale meat
costs.
She said that the butchers would
not sign an agreement to make the
cuts permanent and declared the boy-
cott would be made city-wide.
The strike in Hamtramck, Detroit's
largest Polish settlement, was 98ยง4
effective, she asserted.
Walter Mendrzyk, acting president
of the Hamtramck Butchers and
Grocers Association, said all butcher
shops there would close for two weeks
if the boycott continued.
"We're closing simply because
there's no one to sell to," he said.
Tigers Defeat
Indians Twice
As Rowe Stars
Schoolboy Rowe, hero of a pennant
campaign last year and only a me-
diocre flinger this year, pulled him-
self out of a mid-season lethargy long
enough to chalk up two wins to his
credit yesterday when-the Tigers beat
Cleveland twice, 5 to 4 and 7 to 3.
Rowe appeared in the role of relief
hurler ina the twelfth inning of the
first game, after Auker had held the
Indians scoreless for seven innings
only; to weaken in the eighth and
allow the Tribe to tie up the count.
The Schoolboy replaced Hogsett as a
pinch-hitter in the Tiger half of the
Seleventh.
1 Thefirst game was featured by
f four home runs, two by "Big Hank"
Greenberg, his 29th and 30th, and
one each by two Indians, Berger and
Trosky.
Rowe went the route in the after-
piece and had Cleveland eating out of
his hand for the greater part of the
game. With the Tigers leading by
seven runs in the eighth inning, the
Schoolboy relaxed and allowed three
Cleveland runs to cross the plate.

demilitarization of the frontiers bor-

Under the direction of Soviet Rus-
sian advisers, who hold virtually the
same power in Outer Mongolia that:
Japanese militarists do in Manchou-
kou, the Mongolians are going for-'
ward energetically with the strength-
ening of their border defenses.
To keep out Japanese influences
such as have flooded Chinese Inner
Mongolia in recent months, the Outer
Mongolians have made their national
boundaries more nearly airtight than
those of perhaps aiiy other nation in
the world.
Because of its great length, there

Only persons with the proper cre-
dentials from the Outer Mongolian
government are permitted to cross
this forbidden territory - and such
credentialsare seldom granted. Even
tribespeople of adjoining areas of
Inner Mongolia are prevented from
communicating with relatives and
friends at the other side of the border,
so fearful are the Outer Mongolian
authorities of the infiltration of Jap-
anese propaganda.
The main point of entry into Outer
Mongolia from Inner Mongolia is at
Wudeh, where the caravan trail be-
tween Kalgan, North Chint, and Urga
crosses the international frontier. The
caravan traffic, which amounts tc
about $4,000,000 silver a year, is mo-

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-(VP)-
Guarded by government secrecy, the
air ministries of Great Britain, France
Germany and Italy have taken over
the production of ocean-spanning air-
liners in an effort to skim the rising,
cream of international trade.
All four of these nations are at-
tempting to build extra-size flying
boats to obtain international com-
mercial air supremacy. The imme-
diate goal is trade with America by
the use of their own planes across
the Atlantic.
The United States, just as anxious
as any foreign nation for expanded
air commerce, is relying on private
enterprise for the development of air-
passengers both ways across the At-
lantic in flying boats with pilots
whose ability is based on a back-
ground of millions of hours experience
in trans-oceanic flying.
Already European governments
have invested three years and many
millions of dollars in an effort to
produce multi-engined marine air-
craft to compete with America's big
flying clippers. These latter, twenty-
ton, four-engined flying boats, are
about to have a twenty-six-ton
younger brother, a Martin ocean
transport now completing tests at
Baltimore.
