Ann Arbor' S Pep
Meet Turns Into
Students Riot

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. B.
(UP)+Police fired an estimated
20 rounds of tear gas bombs Fri
day night in an attempt to dispense
a crowd of 1900 University of
Michigan students VINO had storm
ed the downtown section and lit
huge bonfires at street intersec-
tons following pep rally in Hill
auditorium.
AS the officers drove the crowd
back, more fires were set. About
10 were reported blazing in and
around the campus. No serious
damage was reported.
About 5000 students attended
the rally to work up enthusiasm
over the Observation-Disclosures State
game here tomorrow. Afterwards,
part of the group descended on
the Michigan theater where $500
damage was done last year follow
ing a similar pep meeting.
Finding the theater locked, the
students gathered crates, boxes
and boards and built the bonfires.
Traffic was tied up in the down.
town area for about 20 minutes.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DEATH BEGINS AT 40

Rss;c reasons for Americas shameful automo-
b;Ia accident record in 1887 were 'too much speed
and roo little courtesy" according to new book
let entitled "Death Begins at 4o' just issued by
+bs Travellers Insurance company. The booklet pre-
SCENTS complete analysis of last years traffic &C
e;dents based on official figures from 4S states
There is no intention in the booklet, according
70 the editors to advocate 40 miles an hour any
other fixed speed as top limit To quote: "there
are times as in heavy traffic or heavy fog, when
On miles an hour is suicidal other times when so
pivas an hour seems reasonable. Every" driver
sbonId know, however, that if he does have an ac-
c;dent il is more likely to death if he is going
fast"
MANY of the features in the booklet have been
nrenared especially to show what happens In the
higher brackets of speed. 1t IS pointed out, for
instance that ear is four times harder to stop at
IN roiles an hour than it is at 25, and nine times
harder to stop at rs miles an hour than at rs.
rav word durability" has been coined to ex-
nress another speed factor. The drivers turnabil-
;tv tbe booklet shows, decreases rapidly as his
sneed increases. Thus; he can make only one
fourth as sharp turn at SO miles an hour as he
could make at rs miles and only one-nlnth as sharp
q turn at rs miles an hour as at 20.
Another set of figures shows that If you have
an accident while driving under 40 miles an hour
there is only one chance in A that someone will
be killed but if your accident comes while you are
travelling faster than 40, there is one chance in
10 that somebody will be killed.
While the folly of high speed provides the main
theme of the booklet, there is a secondary theme
which runs consistently through the issue 1t is
the need for courtesy on the highway-university

BILLIONS AND SENSE

To say that the federal government spent bill
lion dollars in the first six weeks of the new fiscal
year, or that it will spend eight and two-thirds bill
hons in the whole year, doesn't mean much because
billions are beyond the comprehension OF most
people.
But translated into little different terms it
begins to mean something. 1t means, Tor example,
that the federal government this year will spend
SGT for every man, woman and child in the nation.
1t means that SGT per person will be withdrawn
from the regular channels of trade
Worse still, it means that once again the govern
ment will spend more than its income, for out of
the SGT about s22 will have to be borrowed
Any individual who lived beyond his means for
nine successive years would long since have found
his credit gone! He couldn't continue to charge
things by simply saying that he faced an emer-
gency. Uncle Sam is getting nearer that point
every day.-Ute Sentinel, Midvale, Utah.

THE PRICE OF PEACE

War is terrible thing. It is heinous; it is an
uncivilized thing.
Peace is wonderful thing. 1t is the product of
the best that is in social man. 1t is to be desired
Peace honorable peace, has no price. 1t is price
less to men as individuals and as social body
But honorable peace cannot be purchased. 1t
cannot be purchased permanently even by paying
with another's money or another's property. '.'
Permanent peace and honorable peace has not
come to Europe despite agreement of Munich. Men
cannot barter other nations and escape payment in
their own indefinitely Ea.
Yet that is precisely what Chamberlain, who has
led the democracies of Europe into fatal alliance
WIN fasclsm, has attempted to do. Chamberlain,
IN position of leadership, has yielded to every
demand of Hitler and his ally. Mussolin, while
paadler, of France, in a rather hopeless and help
less position, followed along
Hitler by Vaccinations, has accomplished in ten
days what he sought without war The capittlation
OF chamberlain has been complete. He has achieved
pepace for the present perhaps Apparently he
was willing to sell his 5irtfright for temporary
peace. But Hitler will not be satisfied for long.
his history shows that previous word means
nothing where his present action is concerned.
Chamberlain and Daadier, yielding to Hitler, sup
ported by Mussolini, have averted Immediate war
but we fear at the expense Of holocaust later.
War with Germany now might have been won with
the support of powerful Russia which has been ig-
nored. War which is to come will find Germany
mightier than ever with raw materials she lacks
now, with powerful munitions plans to pour out
machines and materials of war.
1t is relief after weeks Of anxiety in Europe
But it is sorry relief II is peace but it is not
honorable peace. Again it is peace but it is not
Permanent peace
Hltier's threats have carried him far. Why
should ne not now, more powerful than ever, con-
tinue to use this effective weapon in the future?
When the mist of anxiety of recent weeks is
dlspelied when the fog of intrigue is dssipated
.ne people of Europe will find above the clouds
lowering the grim spectre of war, a spectre with
strange resemblance to a mustachioed, grimacine
aletator.-Shelby Star

WIASHINGToN.-It takes more
w than the threat of another
World War to jolt the Supreme
Court from the even tenor of its
ways as it continues to grind out
decisions shaping the law and
public policy.
More than ever the court is. rec
ognized as "super legislature"
This conception of the court, on
which the Inflated Roosevelt plan
to reorganize it was based, has
been easier to grasp since the
pronounced swing toward more
liberal opinions which began dur
ing the historic Senate struggle
over packing" the court and con-
tinued as vacancies permitted the
President to. appoint justices lean
ing toward New Deal viewpoints.
+ iva, the Wagner labor act, the
Tom Mooney case and other items
of national interest are on the Su-
preme Court docket as it recon-
vencS.
Eighteen power companies still
seek the injunction again S t

was denied them by three-judge
circuit court. If the Supreme
Court sustains the lower court, the
iva act finally will have been
Judged constitutional.
Among several National Labor
Relations Board cases before the
court, that brought by the Con-
solidated Edison Company of New
York probably is the most impor-

A DRIVER WITH A DRINK

Almost every day newspapers print dispatches
telling of the death of several persons in automo-
bile accidents in which drunken driver was in
volved Bulletins of the organizations that ana
lived such accidents In the United States show that
considerable number each month is caused by
liquor at the wheels of motor vehicles
A writer in the New York Times recently said
of those who drive cars while under the Influence
of strong drink: 81 know of men who think they
are Hitler or Napoleon on one highball, and women
who become Helen of Troy, Cleopatra or Lucrezia
Borgia on a single cocktail Any one of these is
just as able to drive after the drink before but
they are all dangerous because right away they
want to know what the heck little children and &C.
togenarians mean by getting in their way"
Quite correct, but what of the apparently sober
drivers who to feel that way about little chill
dren and aged persons. There are many drivers,
intoxicated BY speed or the mere feel of the Wheel
who try to Jehuize the streets and hghways-The

allegedly depriving employees of
the right to choose their own COL
lective bargaining representatives.
Because the boards insistence
on its right to invalidate as illegal
such contracts is a chief A. F. of
l.. complaint against both it and
the Wagner act, a Supreme Court
decision against NLRB would
soften the A. F. of L. drive to have
the act changed. But if the Su-

court, the labor federation is
likely to intensity its attack on the
act. ...- ....,
Whether NLRB may order re-

OUTMANEUVERED

OUTMANEUVERED
Germanic nations have always
been menace to the peace and
freedom of European nations. 1t
was to remove that menace that
the Treaty of Versailles disarmed
and dismembered Germany, re-
turning to self-government GER
tain peoples which had been over
run by the Teutons. The peace
loving nations then had it in their
power to keep Germany from ever
again attacking her neighbors.
But what did those powers do?
They passively sat around and
looked on while Germany in repu-
diation and defiance of the
Treaty of Versailles, rearmed her
self, reoccupied the Rhineland,
seized Austria, and became so
strong in military forces that now
England and France are afraid to
lift a finger when the German die
tator announces his determine
ton to bludgeon into subsection
the little republic of Czechoslo-
vakia.
And the awful pity Of it is that
England and France must some
day fight a still more powerful
Germany, or make surrender af-
ter surrender until they again be-
come what they once were-vas-
sails of Germany.

THAT DREAM CASTLE COMES DOWN
TO EARTH
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Why haven't we had this housing boom
that everybody has been looking for dur
ing the last half dozen years?
If we could talk ourselves into it we
would have had it, long since. The subject
has been given enough columns OF type to
reach from here to the moon.
We have discussed pre-fabrieated houses,
mass production building methods, reset
Element projects, slum clearance schemes
and cheaper financing until everyone con-
cerned ought to be blue in the face. We
have been told times without number how
a building boom would get US out of the
depression.
Yet somehow the boom has not been
forthcoming.
You probably could figure out good
many different reasons for this. One of
them, undoubtedly, is the fact that the
average citizen who needs a new house
and who, conceivably, could find the money
to buy one, does not realize Just what he
can get for his money nowadays.
There is no use denying that Mr.. Aver
age Citizen is just a wee bit gun-shy on
this matter of home building. He has lived
through home building boonls in the past,
and he has confused but lively memories
of high financing costs, high building costs,
and completed product which sometimes
didn't quite seem to be worth ali the ex-
pense. What he needs to realize is that
things are quite bit different now.
Life Magazine performed an excellent
service recently by devoting some % pages
to the job of bringing the average citizen
to this realization.
The magazine remarks that financing a
home is both easier and cheaper now than
ever before. Secondly, it points ,out that
for all our talk of high building costs, those
costs today average a good 10 per cent be-
low the costs for 1926-an average" year,
any way you look at it. And, lastly, it en-
phasizes fact that hardly any of us have
realized: that the business of designing
and building homes has made, relatively,
as great strides in the last II years as has
the business of designing and building au-
I tomobiles.
By way of demonstration, the magazine
; prints pictures and plans for The homes
that men in different income groups can
! buy.
, This display is abundantly worth study
: ing. 1t attacks what looks like the key log
, of this building jam-the ordinary family
man't failure to realize just what he can
= get for his money nowadays. .r..
, A campaign based on this point might
I well actually give up this building boom
we have been waiting for so long.
