Official Publication Of The Summer Session f VOL. XLVI No. 12 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 11, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS Murphy Gives An Aceounting Of His Office To Democrats Most Notable Contribution Made To Social Justice, He Asserts 'Labor Policy Gave A Bloodless Peace' By GILBERT T. SHILSON MACKINAC ISLAND, July 10.-(P) -Governor Murphy submitted an ac- counting of his administration to leaders of his party at a Democratic rally here tonight, with the declara- tion "our pledges have been kept." He dwelt at length upon his labor policies, and asserted peace has been achieved without bloodshed. "The ice of a conservative past has been broken," the Governor declared. "Michigan stands today, in both leg- islative and administrative achieve- ments, in the front rank of progres- sive states. "This administration makes its ac- counting to the public fearlessly, and serene in the knowledge that under its guidance there has been effected the most notable contribution to the cause of social justice ever accom- )lished by a government of Michigan. I make this statement fully cognizant of its sweeping implications, and con- fident that it is a statement of fact and no mere political boast." 'Stands For Obedience' He declared his administration stands for protection of human rights, protection of property and "intelli- gent obedience to duly constituted authority." "Without these things democracy cannot survive and personal liberty will be of little value," he continued. "Above all, we believe in the dignity of the human personality and human life. We will guarantee the protec- tion of these rights and institutions to our people, but in doing so we do not intend to plunge them into civil war and economic paralysis by abuse of power and excesses on the part of those in authority. 'Safe From Crisis' "We have emerged safely from a historical industrial crisis and are today on the threshold of industrial peace. While many sought by every artifice and weapon to drive us into doing the unnecessary violent thing, we stood our ground-as we shall continue to do-and we have done our work in a way that inspired helpfulness and kindness between the employer and employe. "There was, and still is, among us a considerable number who demand vengeance against labor at the hands of a rigidly enforced law. At no time did they appear to recognize that ma- chine guns always are the last refuge of the undisciplined, impotent official, and that patient and tolerance in- variably demand far more courage and self control than the vain, bloody exhibitions of weakness which go by the name of 'action.' Pioneer Labor Relatio'ns Act The Governor said the enactment of a labor relations act by the Leg- islature provided Michigan with a pioneering measure. The law was described as "by no means perfect, but as a progressive step, and on this foundation we may expect to build better." Other points in the "accounting" weres: The state '.as been rid of "private influence and hidden powers." "Per- sons of the highest calibre" have been selected to fill state posts. Liberalization of the old age pen- sion law reducing the eligible age limit from 70 to 65 years and in- creasing appropriations. The enactment of an occupational disease law. The creation of a corrections de- partment, "which will give Michigan's penal system the finest'administra- tive set-up in any state." Separation of the state hospital commission from the state welfare commission. Increased state aid for schools. The governor regretted that he could not list civil service as an ac- complished fact, adding "in my opin- ion it is on the way in, because it is good government." BULLETIN LOS ANGELES,, July 10.-(P) -George Gershwin, noted com- poser, was reported near death of 'Ain't Got Rhythm' Hamlin's Convinced At Forestry Camp BEECHWOOD, July 10.-(Special to The Daily)-"He ain't got rhythm.' That's the way foresters felt when they administered the ceremony of "the lake's the place for himboys" to Blair Hamlin, '39F&C, at Camp Fili- bert Roth when he refused to dance to the strains of the St. Louis Blues. It all started when Hamlin began swaying to "Frivolous Sal" as played by Sam Bickford, '39F&C, and re- fused to keep it up to the St. Louis Blues. In spite of a loud demand for his services as a dancer Hamlin retreated to the alleged security of his textbooks and refused to perform. When after further requests he persisted in his defiance, Herman Hermelink, '39F&C, suggested the traditional forestry camp treatment of offenders the trip to the lake. Others took up the cry and it was ."dance or to the lake" for Hamlin. He took the latter so the foresters took him to the lake and doused him. The only casualty was Free- man Lathrop, '39F&C, who fell in when Hamlin received his punish- ment. Falls Lecture Leads Series For Next Week Three Lectures Sponsored By Far Eastern Institute; Luncheons Also Listed An illustrated lecture on "The Geology of Niagara Falls," by .,Prof. Fred M. Bullard of the University of Texas, at present teaching in the geology department here, will be giv- en at 5 p.m. Monday in Natural Sci- ence Auditorium. The lecture, one of the regular Summer Session series, will be in connection with the excursion to Ni- agara Falls to take place next week- end, which Professor Bullar, an au- thority on the geology of the Falls region, will accompany as lecturer. Institute Offers Lectures "The Connection between Chinese Calligraphy, Poetry and Painting,;" will be the subject of an illustrated lecture by Mrs. Florence Ayscough McNair at 5 p.m. Tuesday, sponsored by the Institute of Far Eastern Studies. The Institute will also of- fer illustrated lectures by the Rev. J. M. Menzies of Trinity College, To- ronto, on "The Oracle Bones of Hu- man" at 3:15 p.m. Wednesday and by Prof. Clark Hopkins of the Latin and Greek departments on "Parth- ian Influences in Far Eastern Art" at 5 p.m. Thursday. The Rev. Menzies has spent many years in research work in China, and has done more work with the Oracle bones than any other worker, ac- :ording to Prof. Robert B. Hall, di- rector of the Far Eastern Institute. Have Historical Value The bones have great historical value, Professor Hall said, because of the custom of recording chronol- ogy on them practiced by the early kings and queens of the region in connection with their augury super- stition. Professor Hopkins is well-known for his studies in Parithan culture and his many years of research at Selucia, in Mesopotamia. The Far Eastern Institute holds a luncheon meeting every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday noon at the Union, with a speaker every Tuesday and Thursday, Profes- (Continued on Page 3) Corbett Will Give Law Lecture Here "The .'art of the Lawyer in the Evolution of the International Com- munity" will be the topic of the sec-' and public lecture of the Summer Session on International Law to be given by Prof. Percy F. Corbett at 8 p.m. Monday in Room 1025 Angell Hall. Professor Corbett is the former dean of the McGill University Law School, and professor of Roman Law. A graduate of Oxford University, he is famed for the active part he has assumed in Canadian-American rela- tions and for his work as a member of the committee which drew up the plans for the World Court., This is Professor Corbett's first year on the Institute panel. He was engaged in similar work as a round- table leader at the Williamstown In- stitute of Politics, however. Fire Causes $1,100 Loss In Chern Lab Second Time Within 3 Days That Flames Hit A UniversityBuilding Leaking Gas Tank Is Believed Origin Fire caused extensive damages in a University building for the second time in three days when flames swept the quantitative analysis laboratory in the chemistry building about 9:45 a.m. yesterday. Total damages were estimated at between $1,050 and $1,- 200.. W. A. Mosher, graduate student from Salem, Ore., was lighting a burner connected to a buntane gas tank, preparatory to making a de- termination of sulphur, when some of the gas, evidently leaking from the butane tank, was ignited. A huge burst of flame enveloped the laboratory, scorching the north- east corner walls, when the intense heat from the gas melted the safety valve on the tank and allowed all the gas to escape and burn. Mdsher was not injured. Climbing to the'second floor of the building on a ladder, firemen found it necessary to rip out the paneling be- tween tw owindows and put out fire that was burning slowly in the woodwork. They were kept on the scene for half an hour before it was completely extinguished. Repair costs for putting the labor- atory back into its normal condition were estimated at between $700 and' $800 by Edward C. Pardon, superin- tendent of the buildings and grounds department. Prof. Robert J. Carney, of the chemistry department, valued equipment destroyed by the fire at be- tween $350 and $400. Fire, Wednesday night which had its origin in a spark from a gasoline motor, caused building and equip- ment damages of between $30,000 and $36,000 at the Automotive Labora- tories, Mr. Pardon estimated. It has not yet been decided whether or not the destroyed section of that building will be replaced. Germans Earn Right To Meet U.S. Cup Team .BERLIN, July 10.-(/P)-For the second time in three years, Germany earned the right to meet the United States in the inter-zone final of the Davis Cup competition today when the combination of Baron Gottfried Von Cramm and Heinrich Henkel scored in the doubles for the third straight victory over Czechoslovakia in the final round of the European competition. Following up their singles triumphs of yesterday, Von Cramm and Henkel whipped Ladislaus Hecht and Josef1 Caska, 6-1, 6-2, 10-12, 6-0. Two singles matches remained to be played but have no effect on the out-' come other than the final score. The Americans, paced by red-head- ed Don Budge, will clash with Ger- many's two-man team at Wimbledon July 17-19-20.

(By Associated Press) A week-end opportunity to remain luiet and rest or seek the cooler air of lake resorts today was Michigan's only escape from the heat wave. Forecasts of the U. S. Weather Bureau that the hot weather will continue bolstered fears for a still higher fatality list. State Deaths 27 The numberof deaths in Michigan during the past week attributable to the heat stood at 27 Saturday night. The latest fataliy was Mrs. Isabel Mcintyre Wallace, 70, of Fort Aus- tin, who died Saturday. The fatality list showed an increase daily until Saturday. Tuesday there were three deaths,Wednesday four, Thursday eight, and Friday 10. Majority of the victims were elderly ,although two fatalities were infants . Heat deaths reported late Friday were: Joyce Mugridge, 21 months old daughter of Mrs. Catherine Mugridge, Detroit; Orlo Burton Hart, 35, Kala- mazoo; Sherman M Cutcher, 71, farmer, Port Huron; Earl Taylor, 56, Tekonsha; Charles A. Miller, 72, Niles, Bay City Hits 99 Highest temperature in the state Saturday was recorded at Bay City, where the mercury stood at 99 de- grees at 1 p.m. It was also the high-# est temperature of the year for Bay City. In Grand Rapids the day's peak of 94 was reached at 3:40 p.m. Earlier in the afternoon two girls, Ruth Nel- son, 17, Muskegon, and Grace Gear, 19, Grant, collapsed while watching a Christian Endeavor parade. Police picked up a 52-year-old man wan- dering about the city in the nude. He was taken to a hospital where at- tendants said that he had been crazed by the heat and that he was in serious condition.

Openly pessimistic, officials said that the slim chance that the fliers would be discovered depended upon the success of the flights of the Lex- ington's airmen, scheduled to start early next week. Pending arrival of the Lexington, the battleship Colorado and its three planes resumed the search in the Phoenix Islands area, southeast of Howland Island. The Coast Guard cutter Itasca and the minesweeper Swan also continued the forlorn quest.

Civil Engineer Dies of Police1 Bullet Wounds Charges Come To Us Now, He Said Addressing Labor; 'May Be Too Late Tomorrow' Nevadan Democrat Calls For Crusade WASHINGTON, July I0.-(P)- Senator McCarran (Dem., Nev.) told the Senate today the administration's court bill might prove "the enter- ing wedge" for, a dictatorship like those which he said had wiped out the right of labor in Germany and Italy. Speaking against the advice of his physician, the liberal Nevadan ap- pealed to organized labor to join quickly in the "crusade" to prevent enlargement of the Supreme Court "because it might be too late tomor- row." He carried on the assault against the compromise judiciary bill before galleries packed to the doors with sweating, linen clad spectators. Senate Well Filled Although senators are reluctant to attend Saturday sessions, the floor was well filled. The debate, called by many spec- tators the greatest in two decades, Was free from the parliamentary wrangles of the previous three days. McCarran, his stone-grey curls damp with perspiration, talked for three hours with few interruptions save those from his fellow Democrats who oppose the bill. He told his associates that doctors had warned him against strenuous debate, but that he believed "the cause in which I have enlisted is worthy of any man's life." Fight To Continue As he left the chamber late in the afternoon, he told friends that Sen- ators Bailey (Dem., N.C.) and O'Ma- honey (Dem., Wyo.) would "carry on the fight," with prepared addresses next week. McCarran-long a pillar of the New Deal-said President Roosevelt "has no intention of becoming a dic- tator." He argued, however, that passage of the court bill would set a precedent which some later' President might use to "destroy" both the judicial and legislative arms of the government. Pointing to the growth of dictator- ships abroad, he declared that the people of many nations "are pray- ing, imploring that this republic will hold itself steady." "The hour is coming when you and I will be called upon to say whether the seeds of destruction being sowed in this government today from afar will take root and bloom to a fruition that will poison the atmosphere of the whole world." Mr. Average American Thinks CIO And President Have 'Gone Too Far' Tigers, Indians Divide Twin Bill With 8 Homers DETROIT, July 10.-{P)-The De- troit Tigers and the Cleveland In- dians divided their twin bill today, the Bengals winning the first, 12 to 11, and losing the second, 8 to 7. Eightahome runs were scored in the two games. Hal Trosky, Cleveland first sacker, hit for one four-bagger in the opener and two more in the second game. Chet Laabs, Detroit left fielder play- ing the first and coming up as a pinch hitter late in the second, got one in each. Hank Greenberg, the Tiger first baseman, whacked out his 19th homer of the season in the first, in which Julius Solters and Roy Weatherly also got round trips for the Indians. A Cleveland four-run rally threat- ened to tie up the first game in the ninth, but Jack Russell, who pitched to the last two Indians, saved the game for Lynwood Rowe. The School- boy relieved Jake Wade in the fourth- inning and was credited with the vic- tory. The Tigers made an attempt to come back in the nightcap when Laabs scored Rudy York ahead of e: --- By STAN SWINTON Mr. Average American is opposed to the CIO and the Administration's stand on labor; feels that the Pres- ident has gone too far with his plan for revamping the Supreme Court, and has an all-consuming fear that another depression may wipe out the semi-prosperity of 1937. Such were the opinions expressed to a Daily reporter in over 901( of 150 interviews he made during a 2,500 mile hitch-hiking tour that carried him into Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Illinois, Wis- consin and both peninsulas of Mich- igan. However Mr. America, as one moun- taineer farmer in Tennessee expressedI it, is also beginning to wonder if "there isn't something to this union thing even if that Lewis man is a bad one." It is Lewis' personal un- nCnil rf n rrkiin 0 t1'XTT u ? ?ffln P" uri. n factor in the Committee for Indus- trial Organization's unpopularity. Even a Flint automobile worker, a CIO member, asked the ever-present question, "Where are our dues go- ing? There are 60,000 men in one Flint factory paying dues and we're beginning to wonder where the money goes. And I saw a picture of Lewis in the Communist what-do-you-call- it? Yeh, embassy." The fear that the strikes are the result of communistic propaganda, the survey showed, was widespread although none of the persons inter- viewed had any evidence to substan- tiate their fears. Yet more wide- spread was the opinion that "the big- shots are cleaning up. We walk out or sit down, pay dues and lose our jobs while they make money." Even in the solid south, if Mr. Average American is to be believed, him if he tries to run again. Bank- head (Senator Bankhead, Dem., Ala.) is the man for us down here." In the North, the survey showed, the Supreme Court measure is more popular than in the south, but both sections of the country are almost unanimously against it and the third term proposal as well as the Admin- istration's stand on labor. In the South Senator Bankhead is the most popular candidate for 1940; the north seemed to support no one in par- ticular. Universal is the fear that the strikes will cripple business, which is almost always termed "best since ,the de- pression." A Marquette doctor said: "It would have been the best sum- mer in 20 years if the lumbermen hadn't struck." Another doctor, in Birmingham, Ala., said: "We haven't had many strikes here but the unrest they're causing has everyone jittery,, DETROIT, July two women-his wife heart-kept a vigil in 10.-(P)-While and his sweet-, a nearby room, Merrill Alexander, 27-year-old Ames, Ia., civil engineer, died in receiving hospital today of police-inflicted bul- let wounds.l His death ended a brief career of crime to which Alexander had turned in an effort to obtain funds to en- tertain pretty Mary Hannah, 23, a nurse who Friday gave him her blood in a transfusion.I Three patrolmen shot the youth him with his home run in the ninth early Friday when he failed to obey but the rally ended with Detroit one a command to halt as he abandoned run behind. a taxicab which Detective Sergeant Rogell and Greenberg opened the Michael McGowan said was stolen in scoring for the Tigers in the first ahl-up sdgame.
