INTERNAL EXPLOSION
SEALS FATE OF CLIPPER
Bago Pago, Samoa, Jan. 13.
Fragments picked up and
brought to Pago Pago by the
Avocet today furnished grim
evidence that the giant Samoan
clipper and her crew ' of seven
met destruction by fire and ex
plosion. All items recovered were
charred, burned, and covered
-with aluminum powder ; indi
cating that an internal explo
sion occurred.
No hope of recovering the
bodies of 6apt. Edwin C. Mu
sick, 43 year-old Pan American
.airways ace, and his crew of six
from the shark infested waters
was held because of the condi
tion of the wreckage fragments.
Pan American airways and
naval officers studying the dis
aster indicated that the flying
boat probably caught fire while
dumping gasoline before going
into Pago Pago to repair a
broken oil line. It now rests
under six thousand feet of wa
ter.
Whether or not the plane ex
ploded in mid-air or after land
ing was not known, however,
natives told of seeing a large
volume of black smoke rise from
the water at the time the craft
disappeared.
Musick after flying more than
a 100,000 hours, was making his
last flight over the Honolulti-New-Zealand
route. He had pio
neered this route and many
other Pan American flights,
held a long list of world records,
and won the Harmon trophy for
outstanding service to aviation
in 1935. This was his first acci
dent. Absolutely no blame for the
crash was placed on Musick, his
crew, or the ground crew. In a
statement issued in Washington
President John T. Trippe ex
Pressed belief that "a way will
he found to prevent a recur
rence of the tragedy."

. Washington, Jan. 13. -Read-lnS
from a nrenared sneech.
Mrs. Hattie' Caraway, the sen
ate s only woman member, de
nounced the anti-lynching meas
ure as a "gratuitous insult to
the south."
Mrs. Caraway said that she
d not approve of or condone
lynching, and said that reading
f the executions " without trial
had always made her become
sick at heart. , 9-
Because the bill is unconstitu
tlonal and designed to destroy
suthern influence was the rea
son she gave for opposing it
She said, "I am a bit resentful
4nd fearf ul that bad feeling en
gendered by such legislation as
r1!3 mW retard tie good work
2 clone to help and uplift a
PeopIe who have my sympathy."
Certain groups want tot de-
roy the south not only as a
political entity but as a business
nreat m competition with other
sections."
The commerce school has se
cured William T. Foster, presi
dent of the newly-founded Con
sumers foundation, to speak in
lOd Bingham hall at 8 o'clock

Constumer Stand the Truth?"

him.
Purpose
After the organization of the
Foundation in early January, its
president told the New York
Times that "it shall be the en
deavor of Consumers founda
tion, through the ascertainment,
interpretation and - dissemina
tion of facts, to promote a
proper balance between the con
sumer interest and the interests
of labor, agriculture and indus
try."
Economics
Foster became interested in
general economics after his ma
turity. He was a professor at
Bates andat Bowdoin colleges,
and was more recently president
of Reed college in Portland,
Oregon.
A member of the economics
department yesterday described
Consumers foundation as a
"particularly significant organ
ization, since its work is not
being done for profit, and is
being financed' by a reputable
philanthropic endowment."

A definite change in the
method of selecting contracts
and setting retail prices for
senior commencement invita
tions is expected to be the result
of a special meeting of the Stu
dent council tonight.
Brought to the forefront bv
Willis Harrison, University sen
ior, who revealed the probabil
ity of excessive profits in han
dling invitation transactions in
the past and an open opportu
nity for graft in the future, the
issue may be settled in several
ways.
Methods which may be sug
gested to the council are:
(1) Considering the invita
tions as another publication,
the Publications Union board
might select and sign contracts
with the engraving company.
Distribution rights and other
local tasks would be awarded by
the board to students making
the lowest bid. After both con
tracts had been decided, "the
board would set the retail price.
Audit bureafl receipts woulcf be
given each student, with cash
receipts to be deposited to the
Student Activities fund. Anv
profits would be divided among
expenditures on the class
budget.
(2) The audit bureau might
set retail prices after auditing
the engraving contract and esti
mating local expenditures. A
student committee would select
the engraving company and han
dle distribution.
(3) As suggested by Harri
son, the University Purchasing
bureau would settle terms of
the engraving contract, while
NYA- students could do local
work necessary. .' .
(4) All bidding for contracts
and distribution would be placed
in open competition, all informa
tion concerning the wholesale
price would be published, and re
ceipts deposited to "the Student
Activities fund. The senior class
president or a student commit
tee would set the retail price.
(5) All transactions might be
included in the class budget,
subject to the class audit and to
the management of a class com

The proposed policy for regu
lations regarding intercollegiate
athletics at the University in
the future was outlined yester
day afternoon when recommen
dations made by the faculty
committee on athletics were pre
sented for consideration before
a meeting of the entire faculty.
Essence of the new policy is
contained in one of the proposed
regulations which states that
the University regards, as a
menace to sound education and
fair sportsmanship the subsidiz
ing of athletes, and will do all
in its power to prevent subsi
dization and will disqualify anv
student for intercollegiate com
petition who is proved to be sub
sidized primarily because of
athletic ability.
Discrimination
However, the statement was
made that there will be no dis
crimination for or aerainst ath
letes in the award of loans, jobs,
or scholarships, directly or indi
rectly controlled by the Univer
sity. The proposed policy is a result
of discussions engaged in by an
informal faculty committee with
representative student and
alumni groups.
A sub-committee was named
yesterday to digest the reports,
including a statement made by
President Frank P. Graham,
and prepare for distribution to
the faculty a brief of data sub
mitted. Postponed j
Further discussion was post
poned until next Friday, when a
statement of proposals will be
submitted in full.
Every proposal which had not
had the unanimous approval of
the committee on athletics had
been stricken out before the rec
ommendations were presented
to the faculty.
The proposed regulations are:
1. The one-year residence rule.
2. The three-year varsity par
ticipation rule.
3. The five-year limit for ath
letic participation.
, 4. The transfer rule.
