Black Legion To Be Investigated In Arson Plot
Sinister Society May Be Implicated in Burning of 'Coughlin's' 'Shrine of the Little Flower'
Detroit, May 26—(UP)—The possibility that the Black Logo set fire to f炉 for Charles E. Coughlin's Shirine of the Little Flower was investigated tonight by County Prosecutor Duncan C. Me Craie.
"The burning of Father Coughlin" shrine is a definite part of our investigation." McCrae said.
Authorities at Jackson said they believed that the hooded couriers still were riding at night. A farm house near Jackson City was under investigation, high in mysterious circumstances.
Auriorny-general David H. Crowley announced at Lansing that he intended to hold grand jury investigation in evidence that the Black Lepon officer opposed
Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald said that any state employee found to be a member of the Legion would be dismissed.
Coughlin's original Shrine of the Litt-
Lite Flower was burned on the morning
of St. Patrick's day and the damage was
estimated at $30,000.
At Jackson prison Warden Harry Jackson dismissed two more guards bringing to the total number disbanded because of alleged Legion activity.
A grand jury investigation in Jackson resulted in the indictment of four more men on charges of kidnapping and assaulting a WPA worker.
Arthur F. Lupp, Detroit milk investigator, asserted "brigadier general" in the Legion, was suspended.

New Dance Band . . . Toweling Gets Date . . . Union Building Employees Descend on Potter's Lake . . . Radio Station Acquaintance Renewed . . . Polo Shirts Bring Field's Crack . . . Golosh . . .

And now we hear tell of a new dance band! After Alice Marie Meyni, Ch Omega, recently danced all sun-day afternoon at the Pla-Mor in Kansas City, she remarked, "Wan't Herbie Day just grand?" But really Alice, it was George Morris' orchestra that was plaving.
Margaret Shrum, A. D. Pi, is nursing a stiff back. While she was indisposed, a pledge called her to the phone. "Sport" Shrum draped herself in a robe and then walked down the stairs and on the way slipped and fell on the maple floor, face towards the heavens. Quite mortified, she quickly got up and hustled to the phone, where she reached out to her voicemailowers calling. Nevertheless, it might have been worth it, for she get a date
The time has come when the Union building employees should again descend upon Potter's Lake in a body. Last week six of them fished around in the mosquito pond and recovered 19 golf balls. Now they all play the ancient games, including University students ever let that many balls go without a struggle?
Before the Big Six track meet members of the University team renewed acquaintance with the dazzling blonde Helen Corwin. At Hotel Cornusher. A group of the athletes took the same room, the one across the hall from the blonde, even though it has the reputation of being a well-known athlete. What these track men won't do?
Seeing some of the University and wearing polo shirts under a suit coat at Varsity recalls a remark by W. C. Fields. He saw somebody with his neck wide open and stepped up to him, put his hand in his collar face, looked in and said, "What are you expecting, a gator?"

Seniors Must Pay Hill Parking Fines To Get Records
M.S.C.and Student Court
W.M.S. not Hear the Cases;
Delinquent Fees Will Pay
Cotters 'Abbott'
Seniors this year who have violated traffic ordinances on the Hill and have not paid their fines have no alternative to but to pay for the University releases their records. Usually complaints on questions of fines are heard by a joint committee of the M.S.C. and the M.A.C. at the M.S.C. Joint committee is appointed for the year without electing the committee or making arrangements for the handling of traffic cases.
The new Student Court will not hear any of the traffic cases this year. Since they have taken all judicial power of the M.S.C. they would be in a position to hear appeals from the traffic committee but not cases of first hearing.
George Snyder, the campus cop, has been assisted in the tagging of ears by three athletes who make the rounds of the campus every time a day. These men are paid out of the fines collected by the many delinquencies this year have forced the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. to make a donation to the outstanding fines can be collected.
Up to the mid of May, the three assistants had been paid slightly over $250 for their work during the year. The loan to cover the deficit, which will be covered by business office, will be about $75, is expected to be covered by the fines due.
The M.S.C. ordinance which set up the traffic regulations requires that all seniors who owe money for traffic violations record their records from the University. For underclassmates, if the fine is not paid by a judge, it will be enforced via entrance fees the following semester.
Three Hill Bands Obtain Engagements For Summer Work
Engagements for the summer months have been obtained by the three leading dance bands on the Hill. Louie Kahn, Dick Gossett, and Red Blackburn will leave with their bands soon after school is out and return to the campus next September in time for the opening of school.

Red Blackburn will open for the summer in the Blossom Heath night club in Oklahoma City.
The first three weeks of the summer for Dick Gossett's band will be in Manitou Park in Colorado. They will broadcast every night for 15 minutes, with three nights over the Columbia chain on a western hook-up. The band is engaged for the rest of the summer in Tulsa.
