ARBOR, Mich., December 18. —Fraternity opposition to the methods and plans Dr. Clarence Cook Little, president of the University of Mich- igan, announced to help curb breaking of the Volstead law among the fra- ternities of the Michigan campus vir- tually came to, an end yesterday with the passage of a resolution by the Interfraternity Council, commending the president and his plans. The meet- ing of the council, the official repre- sentative body of the general fra- ternities of the campus, ended a day in which the resolution of the indigna- tion meeting of the night before had been officlally lost and 25 of the fra- ternities had signified their co-operu- tion by electing one of three plans proffered them at the original meeting between the president and the fra. ternity men Tuesday. 4 Opposition, if it still exists on the campus, must be confined to {ndividual fraternities and those not of the gen- eral types. Some of the latter were leaders in the “indignation meetings” of Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Preceding the passing of the resolution, a letter from President Little was read extending an offer of ‘“modifications of the methods after co-operation had been indicated by participation in one of the plans.” The resolutions of the counsel went on record as being in “entire harmony with the policies of President Little,” and declared them “beneficial to the general welfare of both the university and the fraternities,” and pledged member fraternities to the active sup- port of the policies Nowadays nearly all cigarettes ae machine made, though in some fac- tories there are still employed nimble. fingered girls who can make 2,600 of the “fags” a day.

Errors made by KEuropean grain trades as to the exportable quantity of wheat to he contributed to the world supply during this crop year are | probably due, Secretary Hoover said vesterday, to deficiencies of the Rus. sian cropTeporting system. Estimates were current last Fall that Russia might export 300,000,000 bushels, and the Commerce Department found it necessary to issue a statement that the exportable total could not be more than 60,000,000 The actual shipments so far have been less, Faflure to produce a large quantity of wheat for export is having a serious effect upon Russian trade, observers said, citing as one result the cancella tion by the Soviet government of orders previously placed in the United States'and elsewhere for machinery.
