UPSET SOCIETY
i (By Associated Pres)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Mrs. Cool-
idge is suffering from a cold which
caused her to cancel plans to attend
a dinner to be given tonight by at-
torney general and Mrs. Sargent.
Assurance was given at the White
House that Mrs. Coolidge's indisposi-
tion was not serious. The president,
practically recovered from the cold
which laid him up for several days
last week, went ahead with arrange-
ments to attend the dinner planned
in honor of himself and Mrs. Coolidge.
Last week, at another "prominent
dinner" given by Secretary Davis of
the War department and Mrs. Davis,
fthe President at the last moment felt
unable to attend.

Will Illustrate Speech Today
In Science Auditorium
TO CONDUCT CLASSES
"Metropolitan Park Systems" will
be the subject of a lecture by Flavel
Shurtleff, secretary of the National
Conference on City Planning and
field secretary of the Regional Plan*
of New York city and its environs to
be given at 4:15 o'clock today in
Natural Science auditorium. He will
use slides, chiefly of the par of Bos-'
ton and of Westchester county in his
talk, according to an announcement
issued last night by Prof. Aubrey
Tealdi of the landscape design de-
partment.
Mr, Shurtleff, a graduate of the
Harvard Law school, is the author of
"Carrying Out the City Plan," a study
of methods of making city planning a
practical undertaking. Professor
Tealdi stated that he is a recognized
authority on city planning, having
been an official of the National Con-
ference on City Planning since it was
organized, and field secretary of the
New York regional plan since 1914.
This organization has charge of the
landscape arrangements for all of the
territory within 50 miles of New York
city.
Mr. Shurtleff will discuss the ap-
peal which parks make to the citizens
of any community, and the practical
means for acquiring an attractive
landscape. He spoke yesterday, and
will speak tomorrow to Professor
Tealdi's classes in landscape design.

declared in a speech, "I defy anyone
Ito show that one city or state wit
film censorship is any better in this
regard than other cities or state like
Colorado, where there is no censor-
ship"
He further stated that the influence
of petty politics had done much to
make the existent censor plan im-
practicable. "The result of govern-
mental censorship would be to invite
all of the evils that come from any
governmental censorship to intoler-
ance, bigotry, fanaticism, and tyranny,
the like of which this country has
never seen.
In regard to the child problem he
said, "Far more children have been
made good by the movies than have
been made bad. We must know how
to wisely teach our children to be
their own best censors."
December Freight
Surpasses Record'
Freight traffic handled by the class

cember 1925, which amounted to 37,-
868,884 net ton-miles, an increase of
eight and two tenths per cent over
the same month in 1924, was the
greatest for any December on record,
according to reports filed by the car-
riers with the bureau of railroad eco-
nomics. With the exception of that

fic handled in 1925 was the greatest
ever handled in one year, the statis-
tics indicate.

UNION COMMITTEE
OF INVESTIGATION
'ASKS SUGGESTIONS
PRESIDENT DIENER ANNOUNCES
THAT WRITTEN CRITICISM
WILL BE CONSIDERED
WILL MEET FRIDAY
General Membership Meeting For The
Consideratlon Of Amendments
Postponed Until Report
Determined to offer every oppor-
tunity for the proper consideration of
constructive criticism pertaining to
the maintenance of the Union, th in-
vestigating committee, at its sixth
meeting yesterday afternoon, decided
to welcome such criticism from mem-
bers of the Union at any of its meet-
ings in the future. William L. Diener,
'26, president of the Union, further
announced following yesterday's ses-
sion that the general meeting for the
consideration of proposed amend-
ments to the Union constitution will
not be held until the investigation
committee completes its present work,
as the result of the unanimous deci-
sion reached by that committee yes-
terday.
"The investigation committee is
ready to invite constructive criticism
from any interested member," said
Diener. "This may be submitted in
writing to Prof. H. C. Anderson,
chairman of the committee, 1610
Washtenaw avenue, or may be pre-
sented in person at any of the meat-
ings which will be held from time to
time until the investigation is com
c plete."
The next meeting of the committee
! will be held at 2 o'clock next Friday
afternoon in room 302 of the Union.
Other sessions of the committee will
be held from time to time which will
be publicly announced in The Daily
Official Bulletin.
"Any students or persons appear-
ing before the committee, or submit-
ting any criticisms will be treated in
strict confidence," Diener added.
In discussing the postpone general
membership meeting which was
scheduled some weeks ago with the
f signing of petitions charging ineffi-
ciency within the Union, and which
recommended certain amendments to
the constitution, Diener stated: "It
has been agreed by the investigation
committee, with Mr. Adams in ac-
cord, that the general meeting be
postponed until the committee has
made public a fair and unbiased re-
port, not only concerning the alleged
inefficiencies, but regarding any other
findings and recommendations which
may be made. We believe it is only
Pair that no abrupt changes Ue made
in the present organization of the
Union, which has existed for several
years, until a thorough investiglation
of the criticisms has been completed.
"The committee is, and has been
considering the list of alleged ineffi-
ciencies, objections, and complaints
which were submitted by Mr. Adams
some time ago. Testimony is being
taken in many cases, and discussion
follows the consideration of every
item."
The committee has held meetings
on the afternoons of Jan. 9, Feb. 12,
13, 15, 19, and 23. It is composed of
ProfI H. C. Anderson of the Engine-
ering college; Prof. Joseph R. Hay-
den of the political science depart-
ment; Albert Adams, '26; Thomas
Cavanaugh, '27L; and Diener.
