Stock Exchange
Surprises 'Street'
With New Head
NEW YORK, June 30-UP)-Tak-
ing Wall Street completely by sur-
prise, the New York Stock Exchange
today chose 31-year old William Mc-
Chesney Martin, Jr., as its first
paid president, passing over a list
of 200 names which included pro-
minent men in banking, business and
the law.
Climaxing a months-long drive for
internal reform in the nation's num-
ber one securities market, in the
course of which Martin, a member,
had occupied the non-salaried posi-
tion of chairman of the exchange, and
was its acting president, the young
St. Louis broker was lifted into of-
fice on less than 24 hours notice
by a unanimous vote of the governors
of the Exchange.'
To comply with the constitution of
the exchange, Martin announced
his retirement from the St. Louis
brokerage firm of A. G. Edwards &
Sons, and arranged to sell his "seat"
on the exchange here.
The office of chairman will re-
vert to Charles B. Harding, of the
New York firm of Smith, Barney &
Co., who becomes "acting" chairman.
SEC Commissioner John W. Hanes
was formerly a partner in Harding's
firm. The nominating committee has
the right to suggest a candidate forI
successor to Martin as chairman, but
need not do so. No decision had been
reached immediately as to the com-
mittee's course.

Reports that public opinion might
force Prime Minister Chamberlain of}
Great Britain to take action against
Spanish Insurgent bombings of Brit-
ish ships trading with Loyalist Spain
were discounted yesterday by Prof.
Harlow J. Heneman of the political
science department.
"No one can safely predict what
will happen in the future," Professor
Heneman pointed out, "but I feel that
Chamberlain can continue to control
a majority in the House of Commons,
even though a section of public opin-
ion seems to be against him." He said
unforeseen incidents might easily
change the whole course of events.
Chamberlain's opposition is not a
unified one, according to Professor
Heneman. He explained that it con-
sists of Liberals, Labor Party mem-
bers, and a scattering of Conserva-
tives.-
"This gConservative opposition, is
mostly composed of men who hate to
see a loss of British prestige and-
damage to British sea power," Pro-
fessor Heneman said. "Then, too,
some of the opposition in the Con-
servative party, of which Chamber-
in yesterday's Daily of reports that a
note fromsRebelhGeneral Francisco
Franco was on the way to London,
presumably carrying a proposal for
a neutral port in Spain where British
ships could carry on their trade. He
said that if such a proposal is adopt-
ed, it may quiet the discontent in the
Conservative ranks, but it would
probably draw accusations from the
Labor party that Chamberlain had
granted some kind of concessions to
Franco, whom the Labor party ordi-
narily oppose.
"This attitude of Tories and Liber-
als toward British prehtige is inter-
esting," Professor Heneman said. "A
few years ago, when British engineers
were imprisoned and tried ,in Russia,
England threatened to break off trade
relations if necessary to save her face.
Now some 57 Fascist attacks on
British ships have been made, four
seamen have been killed in the last
week, and the attitude is entirely
different."
"When the Anglo-Italian accord
was signed this spring," Professor
Heneman continued, "it was generally
thought that the Spanish war would
soon be over, and it is quite possible

Schwarzkopf Twists An
Ankle But Will Run
By MEL FINEBERG
(Summer Daily Sports Editor)
Sorely beset by leg injuries and
back sprains, a gallant band of Mich-
igan trackmen left this morning for
the high point of cinder activities, the
National A.A.U. Meet at Buffalo, July
2 and 3.
The five men who have been carry-
ing Michigan colors in the post var-
sity competition and one addedmem-
ber will continue at the Queen City
meet. Headed by an injured Bill Wat-
son, the squad includes an equally in-
jured Elmer Gedeon and Ralph Sch-
warzkopf, Jim Kingsley, Wes Allen
and Stan Kelley.
Added To Injured List
Ralph Schwarzkopf was added to
the injured list Thursday when he
twisted his ankle. Schwarzkopf was
showing some friends from North
Carolina, who are also planning to go
to Buffalo, the Horace H. Rackham
Graduate School Auditorium when he
looked backward, something he
would never do in a running race. In
the semi-darkness of the auditorium
he missed a step, fell and twisted his
ankle. Ralph will still be able to run
but the injury, while not serious, will
probably hamper him in the two-
mile.
Watson, still troubled by the back
strain which has bothered him in his
post season activity, may not attempt
a triple. Big Bill may forego the dis-
cus and concentrate on his two best
events, the broad jump and the shot
put.
May Not Compete
Thle third member of the squad's
sick list, Elmer Gedeon, although he
has decided to make the trip, was
not sure that his injured leg would
allow him to compete. Gedeon, one
of the five best hurdlers in the coun-
try when in shape, has not even at-
tempted a hurdle since a week ago
Wednesday. If he does run he will
enter only one event, the 120-yard
high hurdles.
The competition in this meet will
be just about as stiff as any meet in
the world, including the Olympics.
The cream of American athletes,
primed for this meet, are ready to
go. Glen Cunningham, Archie San
Romani, Ben Johnson, Ken Car-
penter, Earle Meadows, Dave Albrit-
ton, Al Tolmich, Mel Walker, Lou
Zamperini, Don Lash, Perrin Walker,
Fred Wolcott, Southern California's
National Intercollegiate Champions,
and a myriad of the country's finest
track and field men will be on hand
to dedicate the track of the new
Roesch Stadium in Buffalo.

Professor Bush, Harvard,
Finds Renaissance Needs
A Broader Interpretation
Recent theories of the Renaissance
stress the continuity between the
middle ages and subsequent eras, Pro-
fessor Douglas Bush of Harvard Uni-
versity stated in the second of the
lectures under the auspices of the
Graduate Conference on Renaissance
Studies in the main auditorium of
the Rackham School.
After presenting a resume of the
leading theories of the Renaissance,
Professor Bush suggested( as the main
line of continuity the tradition of
Christian humanism which, extend-
ing from John of Salisbury to Milton,
was a synthesis of classical culture
and Christian values.
"The difficulty with most theorists
of the Renaissance," said Professor
Bush, "is that they attempt to open
all doors with one key, or rather, that
they shut their eyes to all but the
door to which they have the key."
The tendency to account for the com-
plexity of the Renaissance by over-
emphasizing but one aspect of the
period has led to the creation of
myths concerning the Renaissance.
Much of this myth-making, accord-
ing to Professor Bush, goes back to
such nineteenth century historians as
Michelet, Burckhart, and Symonds,
who looked upon the Renaissance as
a complete break from the middle
ages and as a manifestation of mod-
ern "individualism."
Recent ,research has indicated a
much closer tie between the middle
ages and the Renaissance proper than
has hitherto been believed. The main1
obstacles to a realization of this fact
Professor Bush traced to lack of in-
formation about the middle ages, to
a Protestant bias, and to the pre-
conceptions of secular liberaliftn.
The Graduate Conference on Re-
naissance Studies continues its pro-
gram with an excursion to the To-
ledo Institute of Arts this afternoon,
Prof. Bloomfield, Visiting
Faculty Member Findst
No 'Primitive' Tongues
Lecture Is Third
Of Summer Series
"By looking at man through lan-1
guage we can learn more about man."
This, in brief, constituted the an-
swer given yesterday by Professor
Leonard Bloomfield to the question,
"Why study the languages of primi-
tive peoples?" which was the subject
of the first luncheon conference of
the 1938 Linguistic Institute.
"More specifically," said Dr.
Bloomfield, professor of linguistics!
at the University of Chicago and
visiting member of the Institute fa-
culty, "we can learn not to keep on
saying the many wrong things about
language that long have been said
by people who did not know many
languages.
"We find out, for example, thata
what we had always assumed to be
regular and inevitable because it is1
true of our own language or of Euro-
pean languages in general is, as a
matter of fact, distinctly extraordin-
ary and irregular. Of course, we do
not know even our own languages
very well as yet. There has never1
been, for instance, a complete des-
criptive grammar of English that
would be satisfactory to the person
to whom English was not his native
speech.".
Admitting that, at least to his au-
dience, the question-topic was chief-
ly rhetorical since his hearers be-
lieved in the value of linguistic study
of the languages of primitive people.
Dr. Bloomfield nevertheless criti-
cited the wording of the topic be-
cause to the linguist there are no
primitive languages or primitive peo-
ples.
'eThe language of a so-called primi-
tive peoples," he delared, "is looked
at by the linguistic scientist simply
as a tool of communication. And
since he finds sane, intelligent speak-
ers in these primitive groups he can
only conclude that the language
which they speak is not a primitive
language."
Martin -Lewis
Parley Fails
UJAW Rift Sticks Despite
'Talk At Capital
WASHINGTON, June 30-(N)-A
conference between John L. Lewis
and Homer Martin, president of the
CIO's United Auto Workers Union,
~pparently failed today to produce
formula tofenddfactional strife that
has split the giant auto union.
Martin emerged from the confer-
ence to tell reporters he had "abso-
lutely no intention" to revoke his re-
cent suspension of five high officers
of the auto workers' international
board.
The suspended officers have been
charged by Martin with disrupting a
"harmony program," and have been
ordered to face trial before the Board
July 26.
Asked what his attitude would be
if Lewis requested him to withdraw
the suspension order and reinstate
the five officers, Martin said:
ing of libraries, the exiling of scien-
tists, writers and musicians and the
censoring of news, literature and art -
in an address today to members of
the National Education Association
at the World's Fair site.
Without naming any country, he
said such things turn back "the clock
of civilization."
"If the fires of freedom and civil
liberties burn low in other lands,"1
he said, "they must be made brighterl
in our own.
"If in other lands the eternalS
truths of the past are threatened by
intolerance, we must provide a safe
place here for their perpetuation."
"There may be times when men
and women in the turmoil of change
lose touch with the civilized gains
of centuries of education," the Presi-
dent continued, "But the gains of
education are never really lost.
"Books may be burned and cities
sacked, but truth, like the yearning
for freedom, lives in the hearts of
humble men and women.
"The ultimate victory of tomorrow{
is with democracy, and through de-
mocracy with education, for no peo-
ple can be kept eternally ignorant or
eternally enslaved."
He declared for state and local
control of schools and their curricula
with the Federal government supple-
menting only the resources of the
poorer communities.
Earlier, the President made a new
declaration against war and re-iter-
ated the policy of the good neighbor
as a model for the rest of the world
in helping lay the cornerstone of the
Fair's $3,000,000 Federal project.

Next Scheduled Trip
More than 150 students toured the
campus yesterday on the first ex-
cursion of a series being sponsored
by the University this summer, and
,he large number evincing interest in
the tours is favorable to a large

Louis Rouse of the mathematics de-
partment.
The objective of the journey to De-
troit is to inspect important institu-
tions in the downtown area. The par-
ty will visit the Detroit Institute of
Arts, Belle Isle Park, the new Fisher
Building, and the Detroit Zoological
Park.
After the tour of inspectionithe
party will have lunch at the Fisher
Building Cafeteria. The party will
then proceed to visit the broadcast-
ing studios of Station WJR.
The excursion will start at 8 a.m.
from in front of Angell Hall and
will return to Ann Arbor at about
5:30 p.m. Expenses for the day, in-
cluding bus fare and luncheon, will
be $2 per person.
Jares Roosevelt
Treated For Ulcer'
ROCHESTER, Minn., June 30-W)
-James Roosevelt, son and secretary
of the President, was reported in an
"unchanged condition" at St. Mary's
Hospital here late today. He is un-
dergoing medical treatment for a
small gastric ulcer. Physicians said
his general condition is excellent.
Hospital attendants said young
Roosevelt is "not seeing anyone" ex-
cept his wife who came here Mon-
day.
Earlier today, a statement was is-
sued in Roosevelt's behalf saying he
was "indignant over certain outright
misrepresentations" in an article in
the current Saturday Evening Post
which said he is making between
$250,000 and two million dollars an-
nually selling insurance.

Guardian Trust Co.
To Pay Creditors
LANSING, June 30-P)-The
Michigan Supreme Court today sus-_
tained a circuit court decision and
opened the way for release of between
$4,400,000 and $6,200,000 to creditors
of the old Union Guardian Trust
Co. of Detroit.
The Supreme Court's ruling upheld
an opinion by Circuit Court Judge
Adolph F. Marschner that dividends
ranging between 171/2 and 25 per
cent be paid creditors through a loan
from The Manufacturer's National
Bank.
The exact amount creditors will
receive, unless something unforseen
happens to block the expected pay-
ment, will depend upon success in
collecting stockholders' assessments.

Michigan Senior Beaten
On 35th Green, 2 and 1;
Turnesa Also Defeated
After a day of sensational shooting
which saw Willy Turnesa, young
Holy Cross favorite, and Michigan's
Bill Barcay, last year's semi-finalist,
fall by the loser's wayside, the Na-
tional Intercollegiate Gof1 Tourna-
ment today entered the semi-final
stage.
Barclay, only Wolverine qualifier,
was upset by Bert McDowell, a Louis'-
iana State.sophomore, 2 and 1. The
versatile Michigan senior was favor-
ed over the Kansas City shooter and
the match was close all the way. It
was until the 35th green where Mc-
Dowell canned his putt that the
match was finally decided.
Turnesa, 23-year-old member of
the Elmsford, N. Y., Turnesa's, after
going into a 2 up lead through 18
holes of the 36-hole quarter-finals,
could not cope with the steadiness
of Bob Babbish, University of De-
troit sophomore, and fell by the way-
side 3 and 2.
Lew W. Oehmig of Chattanooga,
Tenn., and the University of Virgin-
ia, who tied the Holy Cross senior
for medal honors in the qualifying,
stepped out to take a brilliantly-
fought duel from Henry Castillo,
Louisiana Stat sophomore 3 and 1.

Loyalists Offer Stubborn
Defense But Insurgent
Heavy Guns Turn Scales
HENDAYE, France (At the Span-
ish Frontier), June 30-()-The
Spanish Government today appar-
ently was fighting a losing battle to
keep the Insurgents from pushing
through the defenses of the Teruel-
Mediterranean highway in the drive
for Valencia.
Insurgent field headquarters re-
ported heavily reinforced troops pen-
etrated the Government's lines in two
places in the Onda sector.
Galicians commanded by General
Miguel Aranda swept down to the
edge of Artana, a village 30 miles
north of Valencia.
Eleven miles northwest of Artana,
another force under General Garcia
Valino was in action near Fanzara.
Insurgents reported Valino had
forced a crossing of the Mijares River
south of Fanzara but the Government
denied this.
Government bulletins said the In-
surgent advance in the sector was
limited to a bit of territory evacuated
in a "slight withdrawal" of defense
forces after heavy Insurgent artillery
and aviation bombardments.
The Government said its opponents
'Escalator Clause' Invoked
To Permit Construction
Of 45,000-Ton Vessels
Pact Also Allows
Sixteen-Inch Guns
WASHINGTON, June 30 -(M-
The United State's hands became
free today for the building of 45,000-
ton battleships armed with 16-inch
guns.
An agreement with Great Britain
and France announced in London
permits the three governments to
build the craft, vastly more powerful
than anything now afloat. The pact
arises from reports that Japan was
building huge craft beyond the for-
mer treaty limit of 35,000 tons.
As to the United States, construc-
tion probably will be started after
four 35,000-ton warships, already de-
cided upon, have been laid down.
In addition to these four, two other
35,000-ton craft, the North Carolina
and the Washington, already are be-
ing built.
Through invocation of the "escala-
tor clause" in the 1936 Naval Treaty,
the United States, Britian and
France lifted the 35,000 ton limits of
that treaty today. Britian, through
an announcement in the House of
Commons by Alfred Duff Cooper,
first Lord of the Admiralty, declared
her intention of building two 40,000
ton ships under the 1938 program
and of sticking to that limit if other
European powers did so.
To officials here this had the ap-
pearance of creating two types of
fleet, the Pacific and the Atlantic,
In the Atlantic the 'maximum would
be 40,000 tons, in the Pacific, 45,00.
A similar distinction was made in
the Naval Treaty between Britian
and the Soviet Union whereby the
Soviets agreed to adhere to the limi-
tations of the 41936 treaty for their
European fleet but not for their
Asiatic fleet.
Today's announcement may mean,
that Britain will get an earlier start
than the United States on building
warcraft larger than 35,000 tons. The
United States cannot possibly lay
down the 45,000 ton ships until next
year. Plans alone require a year to
complete.
President Roosevelt was given au-
thority in the billion-dollar Fleet Ex-
pansion Act to order battleships up
to 45,000 tons if he considered them
necessary for national defense.
Carrying out a continuous program
to replace ships approaching the 26-
year limit. of. maximum military use-
fulness, the navy intends to ask Con-
gress next year for funds to start
one or two more battleships. Indi-
cations are they will be 45,000 ton-
ners.
The United States, on the grounds
that knowledge of Japan's naval pro-
gram was too indefinite to fix a limit,
came out first for no restriction at
all on size and for 18-inch guns.

If The Old Records Are Correct,
gy KEN CHERNIN
Jesse Owens swept the Olympic
boards and cinders, but it looks as
though he'll have plenty of trouble
making any improvements on the
professional track records.
Unless the professional marks are
products of weird imaginations faulty
clocks, or elastic tape measures, Jesse
will make as much impression on the
pro records as a set of buck store
teeth would on rock candy.
The famed Buckeye comet is a co-
holder of the world amateur record
for 100 yards. streaking over the
distance in 9.4 seconds, but did you
ever hear of a gent named R. F. Wil-
liams? Mr. Williams says the record
book, covered the same distance in
was accepted as a world record. But
Mr. J. Howard of England is listed
in the books as the pro champ in the
event; and, says the pro records, he
is credited with a jump of better than
29 feet, which he accomplished in
1854. One man was found who re-
called the feat, and he intimated
strongly that Howard could outjump,
any kangaroo that lived.
Jesse has bettered one pro mark,
however, for he is credited with 20.3
in the 220-yard dash down the
straightaway, as against Jack Don-
aldson's pro mark of 21.1, made in
Canada,
The pro record for five standing

Murphy joined with the State High-
way department and State police to-
day in ,an appeal to Michigan mo-
torists to makes the Fourth of July
weekend a safe one on State high-
ways.
Governor Murphy pointed out that
State agencies may cooperate fully in
a safety program but that the final
success depended on the individual
motorist. He asked special vigilance
against drunken drivers.
A year ago the State record for the
"Fourth" weekend was the worst in
the nation-38 persons being killed
and 50 injured in 31 fatal accidents.
For the benefit of the cautious mo-
torists, G. Donald Kennedy, deputy
State highway commissioner, and
State Police Commissioner Oscar G.
Olander listed the six outstanding
causes of accidents last Fourth of
