It was announced last nightthat the work of dispersing the Em¬peror’s army in the north had beencompleted. Bombing planes were or¬dered to return to their bases. Onlysmall groups of fleeing warriorswere visible south of Lake Aschangi.Flying columns of fierce Askarinatives from Italian Eritrea movedsouthward today from Korem, 125miles north of Dessye, while theircomrades of the Eritrean army corpscon.solidated their new' position atKorem.A five-day battle in the LakeAschangi zone ended Saturday withthe rout of the Ethiopians. On thelast day of the battle, Italian air¬planes consumed 64 tons of explosivesin bombing the Ethiopians as theyfled, and 20,000 bullets in raking themwith machine gun fire.Occupy KoremKorem was occupied yesterday, andthe .Askaris began their march to newterritory to the south over one of thebest roads in Ethiopia.The battle of Lake Aschangi start¬ed Tuesday with an attack by theKmperor’s imperial guard. Violentfighting continued Wednesday, Thurs¬day, and Friday. On Saturday,beaten, the Emperor ordered a re¬treat.Italian military experts believethat their victory is complete and thatit will not be possible for the Em¬peror to rally his forces for a .standbefore the rainy season begins.•An otficial summary of the situa¬tion after the retreat said:“This victory permits the highcommand to conceive and put into♦ xecution the boldest plans for thenear future.” In many quarters this1' taken to mean a drive on Dessye.Bomb Sasa BanehShortly after dawn, a squadron ofCaproni bombers zoomed over SasaHaneh and destroyed an Ethiopianmilitary concentration, presumablypoi.^ed to help check the advance of(Continued on page 2)Britain RequestsSubsidies to AidPacific ShippingLONDON, April 6—(UP)—Largesubsidies to protect Britain’s globe-circling “all red” shipping route fromthe competition of subsidized Ameri¬can steamship lines in the Pacific willbe asked at a dominion conferencehere next month.The convening of the conference,bringing together representatives of(ireat Britain, Canada, Australia andNew Zealand, came simultaneouslywith warnings in Parliament thatunless immediate action is taken“there .soon will be no British flag inthe Pacific.”Sir Robert Horne, Glasgow Con¬servative in the House of Commons,said two British lines in the Pacificwere on the verge of abandoning op¬erations because of the government-aided American competition.Appeals to Patriotism“If these big British lines are sweptoflF the sea it will mean good bye tothe British flag in the Pacific,” hesaid, appealing dramatically to thepatriotism of Britannia’s ancient ruleof the waves. This was during a de¬bate on continuance of Britain’s an¬nual $10,000,000 grant to trampshipping.The conference, in addition to itsattempts to organize dominion sub¬sidies, will discuss “fighting fire withfire” by setting up “coastal trafficreservations” such as the UnitedStates used to maintain its grip ontrade between San Francisco andHonolulu.

Edward Jones, New York pro¬moter, to appear before it for ques¬tioning after withdrawal of his reg¬istration under the 1933 “Truth inSecurities” act.The decision marked the New Deal’seighth defeat before the supreme court.Constitutionality of the act by whichPresident Roosevelt sought to estab¬lish the policy of “let the seller be¬ware” in security trading, was not in¬volved, but SEC officials feared thedecision might hamper its strict en¬forcement.Action of the commission in seek¬ing to require Jones to submit toquestioning was described as “whollyunreasonable and arbitrary” in themajority opinion. “Our institutionsmust be kept free from appropriationof unauthorized power by lesseragencies” of the government, it warn¬ed.May Affect Black CommitteeAside from the effect on operationsof the SEC, the decision was followedwith greatest interest by those whosaw in it a possible inference of thecourt’s attitude toward the Blacksenate lobby committee’s fight to beallowed to subpoena private telegramsin its investigation.Two other cases of importance weredecided today without the formalityof written opinions. In effect thecourt approved an injunction againstthe collection of coconut oil processingtaxes from the Iowa Soap Companyon the ground the tax was unconstitu¬tional.The trial court held the tax uncon¬stitutional but the higher court’s rul¬ing would not make that opinion gen¬erally effective.

Professor SmithPublishes Book onAmericanPolitics“Politics is a moral enterprise...the character to carry it on is nogift of the gods, but a by-productof the process of getting and usingskill,” says T. V. Smith in his latestbook, “The Promise of American Pol¬itics,” published today. The author isprofessor of Philosophy, and StateSenator for the fifth district of Il¬linois.The book provides a new basis forAmerican democracy in the light ofthe counterclaims of fascism, naziism,communism, and other prevailing’isms. Fascism, says Professor Smith,serves two individuals pre-eminently,the dictator and the personified na¬tion. Communism seeks to but cannotcombine fascist means with liberalends. Liberalism defends a strategicliberty as both means and end. Thepropertyless middle class must andmay, through liberalism, achieve anindividualism available to all indi¬viduals.“!n spite of Liberty Leaguers andPaul Reveres and suborned Crusad¬ers, we may yet see private officesbecome public trusts,” hopes SenatorSmith. He suggests getting “the gov¬ernor off the backs of the legislaturesand setting him on his own feet.”Another suggestion “is to get thelegislatures organized to do well theirdeliberative job, which the governornow usurps poorly.Professor Smith is well known tolisteners to the University RoundTable, and has written a number ofbooks, among them “The DemocraticWay of Life,” “Philosophers Speak forThemselves,” and “Philosophers inHades”. He has taken a prominentand almost solitary part in behalfof the measure for permanent regis¬tration of voters, which was recentlydefeated in the state legislature.Names tj," NewsPuritan influences overwhelmedPercy M.

The Lindblom A Cappellachoir, directed by David Nyvall Jr.,will assist in the musical renditions.The service was originally sung inthe dark, whence it took its name. Inthe modern form, however, the lightsare extinguished singly beginningwith the fifteen at the back of thealtar, of which fourteen representeither the prophets of the Old Testa¬ment who kept alive the light of theirpeople, or (tradition is here uncertain)the disciples and the two Marys. Sixcandles on the back of the altar arethen extinguished one at a time dur¬ing the singing of the Benedictus,leaving the central and highest candlethe’ only illumination in the chancel.This is carried out in recollection ofthe crucifixion. An athem is sung inthe darkness; the candle is returnedin symbolism of the resurrection,accompanied by the sound of the clos¬ing of the choir hymn books.Announce DateforCompetitionHold Scholarship Day forHigh School Seniors onApril 24.Three weeks ahead of the usualtime, the annual competitive scholar¬ship day for high school seniorswill be held April 24 instead of duringthe second week of May.

Hassan believes the tomb is 7,000years old, because it is situated inthe fourth dynasty of Necropolis be¬tween the tombs of other children ofKing Hefi-en. However, there were nohieroglyphics to corroborate this.The tomb was of limestone and wascovered with mud, which. Prof. Has¬san said, undoubtedly destroyed thewrappings placed around the prin¬cess’ body when it was mummified.The tomb apparently was buried indeep sand shortly after the princess’burial.Find Gold OrnamentsBeneath the mud coating, the re¬mains were covered with gold orna¬ments. Three threads of richest goldhung around the princess’ neck. An¬other gold necklace and two solidgold weights, believed to have fallenfrom the body, were on the floor ofthe tomb.Her head dress was of plain goldwith streamers of copper and gold.There was a thin gold bracelet oneach arm and a girdle of copper, dec¬orated with gold leaves, around thewaist.Solid gold anklets adorned the prin¬cess’ legs and there were two heapsof gold at her feet.Excellently PreservedThe body was reclining on one side.Despite its excellent state of preser¬vation, the mummy was extremelyfragile and excavators had to handleit with utmost care.During the reigns of the brothersCheops and Chephren, the Egyptianssuffered great hardships buildingtheir tombs, the most enduring struc¬tures in history.Cheops forced all Egyptians towork on his tomb, working them inrelays of 100,000 men every threemonths.China’s LiberalsUrge Preparationfor Jap CrisisPEIPING, April 6—(UP)—Ananti-Japanese program demandingthe uniting, organization and armingof the people and the use of China’sland, sea and air forces in preparingfor war against Japan was adoptedby the powerful new North ChinaLiberation Association at its firstmeeting here.The new association, which com¬prises more than a dozen of the na¬tional liberal groups which haveappeared in North China during thepast two months, was organized form¬ally with a definite program.1.

The people of China must uniteand “face outward” as a solid unit.To this end, civil warfare must bestopped immediately, other politicalparties must be permitted to exist,political prisoners must be released,and the sea, land and air forces ofthe nation must be mobilized and ledby capable men whose sentiments aretruly anti-Japanese.3.

I wouldlike to express my opion of old agepentions. Excuse errors.I think 200 dollars are to muchmoney per month for old age pention.I would propose a $80 a month pen¬tion. I understand that old peoplemust live comfortably, but we mustnot forget that age deprives one ofthe health, vigor and every thing ittakes to make a young person. Agedpeople do not wish to do all the thingthat young people like to do.The way I see it the avarage oldperson only wishes to live comfortableat good and see that thure younggrow up to what they hoped to be orwere.Why could’nt the government putup comfortble homes with cheap rentso the old could live and have com¬fort. The government would not haftto worry about the aged people spend¬ing all thure money in one monththis would take care of it self if thegovernment built the cheep rent homej and aranged the rent according toI modern living.I Most of this pention trouble couldI be eleminated if employers would payj there employees a salary that theyj could live comfortabl and meet bill ofj various sort. So they could take a! good insurance policy for their familyI in case of sickness death and theiotheer unforseen hazards. The avargejfamil has some misforune that putsI them on relief or takes all there sav-' ings and puts them so far in det that■ they are old befor they get in the{clear, or they loose a home or what{ever, they might have leaving themj penny less. Insure them against these{misfortune and I think our countryj (.America) will be a better and morei prospous country all the way around.Going back to the $200 a monthpention. As all Americans knowthere are all sorts of people in onecountry and especially greety ones.What cheap lawyer wouldn’t framepeople that were not elegable for pen¬tions to get them for a nice cut eachmonth.

Other languagesof Semitic and Indo-European rootwere the foci of concentration forcultural historians; Babylonia, As¬syria, Egypt, and numerous kingdomsalong the eastern shore of the Mediterranean were the scene of mostarchaeological activity.A key to Elam’s arcana did exist,however, on a towering cliff in theheart of the Persian empire whereKing Darius had recorded victoriousmilitary campaigns in three lan¬guages; Babylonian, Persian, andElamite. Word for word, the recordswere identical. These inscriptions, aswell as other records of the sameperiod, had been examined with careby French and German scholars butthe results of their work had scarce¬ly been utilized to interpret the hun¬dreds of other texts written earlierby Elamite sovereigns. •This was the state of affairs whenyouthful Dr. George Cameron of theOriental Institute determined to addboth Elam and Elamite to the list ofachievements of modern research. Heknew Babylonian, He devoted yearsto compiling a concordance of OldPersian leading to a dictionary whichhe completed in 1932. He was nowready for his major task,A concordance of Elamite itselfwas his next step beginning with theinscriptions of Darius and workingback century by century to the earli¬est available Elamite texts whichdate from about 2500 B.C,What is the significance of thiswork?In a limited sense it may be con¬sidered another step toward a moreaccurate political history, flor Dr.Cameron has been the first to revealthe chapters of Elam’s story whichpreceded the rise of Darius. But itsimportance as political history is notlimited to Elam. Through traffic andintercourse Elam not only mirroredits neighbors but exerted a telling in- C. MILLERfluence upon them as well.Evidencing this interrelationship isone of the earliest peace treatiesknown to man. Concluded in the 25thcentury by Naram-Sin, the Baby¬lonian king, with ',an unconqueredportion of Elam, it was simply versedas follows:Let the friend of Naram-Sin be myfriend;Let the enemy of Naram-Sin bemy enemy.“Elamite religion,” said Dr. Cam¬eron, “was naturally polytheistic incharacter. Two deities were all-im¬portant in the royal and official liter¬ature: Huban (the Great One) andInshustinak (the Lord of Susa).Nevertheless many passages refer¬ring to Kiririsha, a form of themother-goddess, bespeak her whomthe common people of Elam reallyand sincerely worshiped,”There is evident a parallel to themodern importance of women. Thepresent participation of women innearly all fields of commerce iseclipsed by the fact that, in ancientElamite business, women were on apar with men. Their role in the po¬litical drama was even more impor¬tant. As Dr. Cameron said, “Theavailable evidence in the so-called‘classical’ period points to the ma-trilinear character of the royal suc¬cession”. It was from Elam, then,that Persia inherited this peculiarpractice.SUMMER•OSITIONS• Excellent opportunity tofinance your college educa¬tion. Work is educationalin nature.

APRIL 7, 1936 Page ThreeLocal LiteratiBy MARTIN GARDNER Letters tothe EditorNO FRIENDLY VOICEBy Robert M. HutchinsThe title is not a misnomer (as aTribune reviewer suggested)—thevoice is not a friendly one; but it isalso not a shouting one, or even anangry one. The forcefulness of itscriticism lies rather in a quiet andunaffected tone of confidence, in clearand carefully written sentences thatimply much between the lines and avigorous intellectual force behind thelines.Two lectures called “The HigherLearning” are packed with importanttheses. Our age is characterized byits bewilderment. “It has become thefashion to be bewildered.” We haveabandoned the intellect and our sal¬vation lies in a return to it. Theuniversity stands as a last strong¬hold of rational thought. It is acommunity of scholars and scholarsare presumably men who think. Andfinally “it (the university) may atleast bring order, enlightenment, andunderstanding to a bewildered world.”Thus Hutchins proclaims his faith inthe saving power of the human mind.♦ ♦ ♦Whatever may be the personalphilosophy or religious convictions ofthe President, these lectures makelittle or no attempt to impose anyspecific “content” upon the “ideas”with which the modern university isto be intellectually concerned. Wheth¬er this omission should be lookedupon as a point for criticism or forpraise I am not prepared to say. Ifyou are interested, this question willbe dealt with in an able and thought-provoking review by T. V. Smith inthe forthcoming issue of The Inter¬national .lournal of Ethics.But the amazing thing is (as Pro-fes.sor Perry remarked when he washere) that a university presidentshould be interested in the philosophyof education at all. For this reason—if no other—Hutchins is a man tobe reckone<l with. There is an un¬mistakable note of the prophetic inhis voice—prophetic of a future for-American education that now is butdimly visualized. It remains to be.seen whether this unfriendly voicewill find responsive ears, or be des¬tined to echo as hopelessly as thevoice of Milton’s Lucifer from whosesoliloquy the title of the book istaken.Award Fellowshipsfor Graduate Workin Social ScienceRecently announced by the Ameri¬can university in Washington, D. C.,were five types of scholarships orfellowships in the social sciences. Theawards will be awarded to those inthe fields of economies, internationalrelations, political science, economics,sociology, and public administration.One or more university fellowshipsvalued at $1,000 are being given tothose who have finished at least oneyear’s graduate work in the subjectsmentioned, while students with acomplete undergraduate record willbe entitled to fellowships valued at$760. Tuition scholarships are avail¬able to undergraduates along with 15“working” scholarships which add a$100 University grant to a guaranteedNYA position to complete the appli¬cant’s tuition fees.The School of Public Affairs isoffering 20 half-tuition scholarships tothose who wish to enroll in the Uni¬versity, but also study at other in¬stitutions in the city.Request Subscribers toObtain Schwanda TicketsAll season subscribers to the Musicsociety must secure tickets for“Schwanda” from Miss Hubbard atthe Music building immediately. Re¬serve blocks have been set aside forthis week. At the end of this time alltickets must be obtained at the boxoffice in Mandel hall.Criminologist Writes onArrests in Law ReviewThe April issue of the UniversityLaw review was put on sale yester¬day. This is the first issue publishedunder the editorship of Byron S. Mil¬ler.The lead article is by Jerome Hall,professor of Criminology at Louisi¬ana state university on the “Law ofArrest”. Morris H. Merrill, professorof Law at the University of Nebraskahas contributed the “Anatomy ofNotice”. Dean McCormick of the Lawschool at Loyola university has writ¬ten “Notes and Suggestions on theEvidence Act of Illinois.” JamesMartin, a student at the Universityhas contributed a chapter from hisbook to be published in June: “TheRole of the Bar in Selecting theBench in Chicago.” EXAMINER’S REPLYElditor, Daily Maroon,Dear Mr. Nicholson:Several erroneous statements ap¬peared in a recent letter by “S.H.” onexaminations:1. Students have no wan to checkup on what they did on examina¬tions." As is true of the New YorkRegents, the College Entrance Ex¬amination Board, the United StatesCivil Sei-vice, and other large ex¬amining systems, the Board of Ex¬aminations has not found it feasibleto return examination papers. How¬ever, any student may purchase ablank examination for a small fee—say, 25 cents—and after answering it,discuss his answers with an instruc¬tor. If he has failed, this additionalattention to the examination is wellworth while. He can check not onlythe items he misses, but also anyabout which he is dubious.« * «There are three principal reasonswhy examinations are not returnedto the students. First, the examina¬tions constitute the official record. Ifthe student were to be allowed to ex¬amine his paper, some person wouldhave to be at hand to make sure thatno changes were made in the paper,and that the student could under¬stand the nature of the marks madeon the paper. To carry out this taskfor even a small percentage of the12,()()() student-examinations given inone year by the Board of Examina¬tions would be costly. In the secondplace, before a student could interp¬ret his achievement on any sectionof the examination, considerable sta¬tistical work, now not undertaken,would have to be done and the resultsexplained to each student. This workis costly. Finally, the score on anindividual item of a small group ofitems is not necessarily reliable, al¬though the examination as a wholeis highly reliable. A student passesor fails the entire examination, not asection of it. Because he was weakon a particular exercise one time doesI not mean that by studying only thatsubject matter he will pass the nexttime. The comprehensive examina¬tions are not diagnostic. They arenot primarily teaching devices; theyare measuring instruments.* * *2. The implication is clearly nuidein Mr. H's letter that the figures forthe February English qualifying ex-amimitions are typical. The figuresas given are correct, but they are notrepresentative. The group whichtook this examination was a poor one.Last May, when a representativegroup took the examination, thefigures were: A, 10 per cent; B. 18per cent; C, 43 per cent; I), 15 percent; F, 13 per cent. The Februarygroup is a group who are, to quotethe words of many of them, “takinga chance.” Analysis made after thegrades had been assigned showedthat the group was composed mainlyof freshmen who are now in English102 and who had made a below aver¬age record on the English placementtest; they are a group who definitelyneed English training. That theyfailed this examination in large num¬bers is to be expected. Indeed, ifan examination were given for ex¬ample, in the Physical Science gener¬al course in February and weretaken by the students in the course,one would expect a large number toget 1) or F.3. "The average retake percent¬age is 25 per cent (and I am estimat¬ing conservatively)." A study of thissubject is now under way, but it issafe to say that the figure will notbe over 10 to 15 per cent.John M. Stalnaker,Examiner.James Reappointed byDean of Law SchoolGeorge James who last quartergave a Law school course in Evi¬dence, has been retained this quar¬ter to give a course in Rights inLand, according to an announcementmade yesterday by Sheldon Tefft, as¬sistant dean of the Law school.Mr. James, who was highest rank¬ing member of the Law school classof June, 1932, has also taught a yearat Ohio State university.THREE MONTHS* COURSEPOI COLieOE STUDCMTI AND GtADUATMAtk»ntitKimUnai9t,amttvraphie€o»rm—atartiHg Janmary 1, 1, Jmly 1, OetoUr J,btmvitiiit BookUt atntfrm, witkomt thUaatim—miUorpkom*.

A LIGHT SMOKE/DAILY MAROON SPORTSPage FourAt Bat« « ♦withEd VincekThis year the Maroon Baseballteam has an unusually good chance tocapture the Big Ten title. This opin¬ion is held by both Kyle Andersonand students, so it is interesting toknow just how the members of theteam feel about it.BILL HAARLOW (co-captain)“Last year we finished the seasonin second place with only two losses,but this year we have more potentialpower at the plate and so expect todo better. However, this season wehave to play a tough schedule andmay be handicapped by current in¬juries and the inability to get suffici¬ent outdoor practice. The season isvery short and anything can happen.”DICK COCHRAN (co-captain)“We’re going to have a fine seasonbecause of a swell pitching staff andone of the strongest infields in thehistory of the team—but we needsome good luck. Also this Andersonis a great teacher of inside baseballand has instilled the proper spirit intothe boys to make them go out andwin. As for myself I shall feel thatI will have done my share if I fillDave Levin’s shoes.”CONNOR LAIRD“Unless I miss my guess this seasonwill be a banner year, for freshmenare very strong and the pitching istops. The outfield isn’t as strong thisyear, but that won’t make any differ¬ence, because the opponents will notbe able to hit them so far off Maroonhurlers. I have developed more speedand will do my share towards bring¬ing the title to Chicago.”Baseball SquadSees Action inSpite of ColdBundled up in sw'eaters and hoods,the Maroon baseball team played outin the open at Greenwood field yes¬terday before a shivering handful ofspectators. The boys had an unusualamount of pepper considering thecold northern breeze.Its really a hardship to play ballin freezing weather. Loosely heldbats and gloves give a very strongsting when they come in contact witha fast ball. Sore arms develop andjoints get stiff. But as far as theplayers are concerned anything isbetter than indoor practice.However, mere practice will soonend because a game is scheduled forWednesday with a powerful PalmerHouse independent nine. Neverthe¬less, the Maroons are planning a run¬away, since they have to redeemthemselves for the double drubbingthey took down in Bloomington at thehands of Illinois Wesleyan.U. S.

The meet willbe largely in the nature of an exhibi¬tion, according to an announcementby Coach McGillivray of the Maroonswimming squad.The exhibition is an Olympic ben¬efit, and all proceeds will be given tothe American Olympic fund. Therewill be an admission charge of 40cfor those holding C books, and 75cfor others.Four Champions Compete.\mong the swimmers participat¬ing will be at least four NationalA.A.U. champions crowned at themeet held last week at the LakeShoi-e Athletic club. These stars are:Marian Mansfield, women’s lowboarddiving champion; Claudia Eckert,who set a new national record inwinning the 100-yard women’s freestyle event; Adolf Kiefer, w'ho alsosmashed a record when he won the150-yard backstroke for men; andA1 Greene, men’s lowboard divingchampion. They will be seen in theirrespective events at the exhibition.The program will include seven oreight events. Several Maroon swim¬mers are taking part, among themChuck Wilson, captain of the Ma¬roon team, who placed fourth in the300-yard individual medley at theA.A.U. meet. Floyd Stoffer, anotherMaroon representative, will com¬pete in the lowboard diving events.Margie Smith, University freshmanwho was runner-up to Mrs. EleanorHolm Jarrett in the 100-yard back-stroke for women in the A.A.U. meetthis year, and w’ho, tw’o years ago,pushed Mrs. Jarrett to a new worldrecord in this event, will be seen ina demonstration.Arlyte Smith, who placed secondin the women’s low' board diving, andCrystal Diete and Dorothy Schiller,who placed second and third resp.O-tively in the breast stroke will alsosee action.Excellent ProspectsSeen in FreshmanSpring FootballersEmphasizing more than ever theimportance of keeping eligible, ClarkShaughnessy, Maroon football coach,and the football staff have cut dow’nspring grid practice from five to fourdays a week, omitting Wednesday,and from two to one-^nd-one-halfhours a day.Practice is being hampered due tothe fact that several of the regularshave not yet turned out because ofparticipation in other sports and em¬ployment. Some of the regulars whohave returned are Skoning, Antonie,Bosw'orth, Jordan, and Whiteside.Among the numeral winners wholook promising are Lew Hamity,Norm Joffe, Mort Goodstein, HarveyLawson, Bob Johnson, Ames Haw¬kins, Ted Fink, and Sollie Sherman.Hamity, a triple-threat man, isshowing his worth as a kicker, w’hileLaw.son looks like a potential back-field star due to his fine passing.Goodstein appears promising as aball-carrier, and Joffe at end andJohnson at tackle will also help tobolster the Maroon eleven.Aiding Coach Shaughnessy areCoaches John Baker, w'ho is instruct¬ing the ends, and Edwald Nyquist,who is taking care of the backs. Ny¬quist is also slated to assist NelsNorgren with the backfield in the fall.Nyquist was regular quarterback forthe Maroons last season, while Bakerwas a star end on the team two yearsago.3 Months’ Shorthand Coursefor College Graduatesand UndergraduatesIdeal for takinK notes at collesre or forspare-time or full time position.Classes gtart the first of July, OctoberJanuary, and AprilCall, tvrite, or telephoneState 1881 for complete factsThe Gregg College6 N.
