Katayev is remembered by Ann Ar-
bor audiences forhis comedy,
"Squaring the Circle," one of the

on the marriage code in force in
Soviet Russia, and features the same
hilarious type of situations con-
tained in last year's success.
"Ethan Frome," adapted for the
stage from Edith Wharton's novel by
Owen and Donald Davis, will be' the
second offering of the Players. One
of the chief hits of the New York
season last year, it has been regarded
by critics as one of the most skillful
adaptations of the American theatre.
Six separate sets have been con-
structed for the Ann Arbor produc-
tion, which will run for four evenings
from July 7 to 10.
The third play of the season, "First
Lady," by Katherine Dayton and
George S. Kaufman, a satire on
Washingtorw political-social life, will
open July 14 and run through July
17. The original* show starring JaneI
Cowl played for two years in New
York and on the road. The Ann
Arbor production will be the first
non-professional release of the witty
and sarcastic comedy.

tion-wide search since the bodies of
pretty Veronica (Ronnie) Gedeon,
20; her mother and Frank Byrnes,
a roomer, were found in the Gedeon's
New York apartment Easter morn-
ing.
Shortly after Irwin was placed in,
custody Lieut. Martin S. Owens of
the New York police homicide squad
telephoned to his headquarters, say-
ing:
"I have Robert Irwin. He has ad-
mitted the three murders. He said*
he killed the mother first, then the
girl and then the roomer."

Many To Take Part

Visiting professors, many of whom
are leaders in their fields of research,
will form an important part of the
faculty of the University during this
year's Summer Session.
The visiting faculty has been drawn
from universities and schools all
over the country. Some will come for
the first time, others have taught here
before, and some will continue work
they have been doing here during
.the regular part of the year. Several
are being sent through the cooper-
ation of foundations and other agen-
cies interested in work being done
here.
Dr. Edward Sapir

tics at the Summer Session, is a
leader in the field of American In-
dian languages. He is best known

linguistics and ethnology but has had;
wide experience in many branches of
the social sciences. He has done his
most outstanding field work among
the Hupa, Navaho, Southern Piute
Indians, and the Indians of the
Northwest Pacific Coast. Dr. Sapir

TO STUDENTS AND VISITING
FACULTY
May I express a sincere welcome.
You have come from all the states
and many provinces. Some have.
traveled from countries beyond the
seas. I hope you may receive in-
spiration and profit during your so-
journ in Ann Arbor. It is your Uni-
versity now and you share its glorious
traditions. I trust that each of you
will contribute a generous share to
make this forty-fourth Summer Ses-

program arranged possesses wide in-
terests. I commend its many features
to you.

Germany Prefers
Independent Action
WURZBURG, Germany, June 27.-
(/P)-Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler pro-
claimed today that Germany hence-
forth prefers independent action to
protect herself from incidents off the
Spanish coast.
T h e European nonintervention
committee, he told a party rally of
200,000 Nazis, demonstrated its in-
effectiveness by failing to act after
the cruiser Leipzig allegedly was at-
tacked by a Spanisn government sub-
marine.
Germany last week withdrew her
warships from the nonintervention
patrol after the Leipzig incident, be--
cause Britain and France declined to
support a naval demonstration off
the Spanish coast as a warning to the'
Valencia government.
Hitler criticized both the commit-
tee andthe foreign press. He said
that after the pocket battleship
Deutschland was attacked by two
Spanish government planes in May,
with loss of 31 lives, and Germany
replied with bombardment of Almeria
there was condemnation for Germany.
Session Termed The 'Most
Colorful' Ever Offered
By University
Total Enrollment
Should Near 4,600
Three Types Of Courses
Given; All Colleges And
Schools Now Open
The early enrollment in the 44th
Summer Session of the University
held promise of a new record when
figures released by Miss Marian Wil-
liams, University statistician, showed
that 3,211 had registered. Very prob-
ably the total enrollment, after all
late comers have registered, will ex-
ceed 4,600, officials predicted.
Although the increase in enroll-
ment in the 1937 Session over that
of 1936 is considerably less than the
increase of the 1936 Session over
that of 1935, the statistics reveal that
114 more students are registered now
that have ever been enrolled at the
close of early registration in any pre-
vious Summer Session. Enrollment
last year at this time was 3,097.
Many Special Features
The total enrollment Iast year was
4,528, the greatest ever recorded for
any Summer Session. However in
view of the increase at the present
time the total enrollment for the 1937
Session will top the record set last
year.
Unlike last year, the increase in
the number of men and women was
approximately equal, there being an
increase of 59 men and 55 women to
make the total 114.
Termed by Prof. Louis A. Hopkins,
director, as the "most colorful" ses-
sion ever to be presented by the
University, a wider curricula and
more special features, including the
Electronics Institute, Institute of Far
Eastern Studies, and many others,
will be offered than ever before.
Three principal types of courses
will begin today. There are those for
undergraduate students regularly
enrolled in the University to supple-
ment regular work and to fulfill re-
quirements for special curricula, cer-
tain techz;cal courses for teachers,
librarians, engineers, and profession-
al men in active practice, and courses
leading to higher degrees.
Session Now In Full Swing
The Session opens today in all
schools and colleges in the University
with the exception of the Law School
and will close on Aug. 20. The Law
School began June 21 for a five week
term lasting until July 26, when a
second term of the same duration will
begin.
Six week courses in the Medical
School, the School of Education, and
the Division of Hygiene and Public
Health will close Aug. 6. The work
at the forestry camp will last the
longest, ending on Sept. 3.
England And France
Anxious Over Patrol
LONDON, June 27.-(YP)-British
and French diplomats tonight faced
with indisguised anxiety the task of
restoring the international patrolof
Spanish waters and preventing the
manifold frictions involved from ex-
ploding in Europe's face.
They agreed that how far this can
be accomplished depends largely on
the replies of Berlin and Rome to the
Anglo-French proposal that Britain
and France use their own naval ves-
sels to close the gap in the patrol left
by the with withdrawals of Italy and
Germany.
This reply is expected Tuesday at
a meeting of the subcommittee of the
27-nation "Hands Off Spain" com-
mittee.
Anxiety was intensified by the
Spanish government's charge that a
submarine yesterday sank the Cabo
