"America", in which Commander Richard E.; Byrd will attempt the crossing, hasl not yet completed its factory tests. He had not intended to leave for several days so he was not affected one way or the other by the weather reports.t Scarr's prediction concerning sev- eral days of stormy weather increas- ed the likelihood, however, that when clearing does come, the American1 flight may be a three-cornered race with each of the three monoplanes striving for first nlace. As Byrd, however, is not "in theI money," not having entered his planej for the Orteig prize, and as he has* said that his flight is to be purely1 for science, he may be content to let the others go ahead. The weather report late today was the most unfavorable of the past week. Scarr pointed out that he only furnished the facts, and the fliers made their own decisions, but he ex- pressed the hope that they would not leave until good conditions were in-I. dicated . French Still Hope PARIS, May 13-The persistent re- ports from Newfoundland that the faint humming of an airplane motor was heard at several points there Monday has started a revival of French hopes that the trans-Atlantic plane of Captain Charles Nungesser may yet be found. The feeling, likely as a result of these reports, is growing that the air- I e men may have landed somewhere in Labrador or northern Canada, far from communication. Dispatches in- dicatirfg that the Canadian, Newfound- land and American governments are doing everything possible to trace the missing fliers have strengthened theI hopes that they may yet be found. The revelation today by Dr. Cortic- hiato, a close friend of Capt Nunges-j ser, that the fliers carried sufficient rations for ten days, also has added i to the hone that if the aviators land- to 13unkie, but plans were reing mate to transfer them to Marksville and Mansura, since the spreading flood waters might endanger the water system of Bunkie. Later it was ex- pected they would be concentrated at Marksville and Alexandria where housing facilities were more abund- ant and food supplies more easily ob- tainable. Evacuation of Melville, the largest town in the direct path of the flood, had started tonight. More than a thousand were to be moved there. . The weather bureau at New Orleans warned that the breaks along Bayou Des Galises would - not remedy the situation along the main stream be- tween the mouth of Old river and New Orleans, although it reiterated the statement that the artificial crevasses below the present city would prevent the river from exceed- ing a stage of more than 21 feet here. Cane Parishes Hit The sweep of the waters escaping from Bayou Des Glaises crevasses will take them into Avoyelles. St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Lanrdy , and Iberville parishes, two of which are large producers of sugar cane, and one of which, St, Martin, is in the heart of the Evangeline country, made famous by Longfellow's poem of the same name. An estimated acreage of 1,198,720 acres stands in the path of the re- ! leased waters and 105,000 people are expected to be affected. In southern Louisiana, along the i Mississippi, the fight to hold the ris- ing waters continued with unrelent- ing energy. A weakness developed in the levee at Morganza, above Baton Rouge, but quick work checked the waters and tonight it was believed in good condition. Still further north in 11 north- eastern parishes, only houstops,1 church steeples and treetops, pro-I truding above the surface of the in- land lake, make the location of nu- merous towns and villages. ACCIDENTS KILL MANY DURING RECENT YEARS Fathers' and Sons' banquet to be held at 12:30 o'clock today in the Assembly hall of the Union, it was announced yesterday by Roger W. Green, '28, chairman of the committee in charge.j Nearly all of the tickets have been sold in the sale which has been in progress for the last two days. They will be on sale again this morning from 9 to 12 o'clock. Prof. Arthur L. Cross, of the history' department, has been chosen to be toastmaster of the banquet. Lester F. Johnson, '27L, president of theI Union, will be the, first speaker on the program. He will speak on be- half of the sons. President Clarence Cook Little will give the next talk. He has not announced the subject for his speech as yet. The feature speaker of the pro- gram is J. Arthur Whitworth, '94, prominent alumnus, who is now inI business in Grand Rapids. He has three sons who will all be present at the banquet. Two of these are stu- dents in the University now, and one has graduated. Two guests will also accompany him as sons. He speaks on behalf of the fathers. The regular Union dance orchestra will provide entertainment during the dinner. The banquet will start early in or- der to give fathers and sons a chance to go to the track meet which is be-j ing held at Ferry field at 2:30 o'clock.E Complimentary tickets for this are being given to all fathers with theirI tickets to the banquet at the Union.I The use of the Union pool has also been granted to all fathers who visit Ann Arbor for the week-end cele- bration. No particular program has been arranged for the fathers for Saturday night, but complimentary tickets to the Arcade theatre may be obtained4 at the desk in the Union if the fathers desire to attend the theatre. No organized tours of the campus are being planned. These, it was felt by the committee, were not a success last year so they were discontinued. It is expected, however, that each stu- dent will show his father the campus individually, and that in that way all fathers will have the opportunity, to get some impression of the Univer- sity. . SOVIET OFFICIALS ANGERED AT RAID (By Associated Press)j LONDON, May 13-Ruptures of An- glo-Soviet relations were admitted by both British and Russian officials here tonight as being nearer than at any other time than since they were re- sumed on the basis of the trade agreement in 1921.

Asserts Object In Ruilding Them To fake As uch Money As Possible From Land IDEA STARTED IN EUROPE Skyscrapers are primarily built for profit, the aim of the builder being to get the greatest po-silble profit out E of the land, Lewis Mumford, the noted architect and art critic declared yes- I terday in an address given before the members of the College of Architec- ture in Natural Science auditorium Light, air, and beauty in the construc, ' tion of a skyscraper are second in con sideration, Mr. Mumford said. "Although tie skyscraper 'is thv highest achievement of American ar- i .. __ chiectreitlidnotorig t.oce ould e ya le chiteeture, it didr not originate in finishing touches would he applied' America. Edinburgh bad buildings! over ten stories high long before j Americans ever thought of building; them. The skyscraper began in Amer- I ica in 1854 with the construction of I the Crystal Palace Exposition build- i ung in New York. In the 1880's land in the business sections became dear' and the owners decided to build up- ward in the air. But once building grew upward, land values soared pro- portionately. "The first great achievement of ar- 1 chitecture was the building of a sky- scraper of 15 stories in Chicago, of solid masonry. The widtly of the walls at the bottom of the tower had to be fifteen feet thick to support the weight of the stones. Then some architect got the idea of supporting the walls, not by means of stone piers, but by us ing a steel structure. There is now no, need for the solid stone structure; all a they have to do now-a-days is to cover I the steel framework with stone and punch it full of holes." SThe original purpose of the sky- scraper was to serve as an adver- tisem ct, Mr. Mumford declared. The artistic building didn't develop until later. Mr. Mumford pointed out that ordinances providing for set-backs in the structures after reaching a cer- tain height brought a great chance in the designing of the monster build- Siugs. The speaker offered as sugges- tions for the future of the skyscraper that they first cut down on the height of the building, then lower the limit of the set-back, or to allow the build- ing to be as tall as it wished but to set off an amount of land around it in order to create the effect of height.l to pending legislation early Satur- day morning. P R I C E DISCUSSES PROBLEMS BEHIND CHINESE TROUBLE Dr. Maurice T. Price, in a lecture under the auspices of the Student Christian Association yesterday, cited three conditions in China today that are responsible for the present events and disorders. The habit of the Chi- nese press to exaggerate all stories for the benefit of foreigners as well as for the Chinese people, makes it impossible to get authentic news, Even when supposedly authentic news does arrive, one never can be sure that it is not propaganda. The recent reports of the shelling of Chinese towns by British and American war- ships was merely propaganda intend- ed to arouse the wrath of the Chi- nese people, Dr. Price said. The Chi- nese press has not yet learned to be particular ab~out the truth of the stories they spread. Another factor in the chaotic condi- tion today, Dr. Price continued, is the failure of the moderate and radical groups of the country to get along with each other. For some reason they seem entirely unable to co-operate With or eve.1 tolerate each other. The last cause, he concluded, i's the chaos sweeping the industries of China as a result of communistic and soviet propaganda, circulated through the country by the Russians. The worst possible thing for China, its greatest danger today is that of try- ing to give its ancient civilization Ise .I SENATE AlPPROVES ANENI)MENT lN l1 TI Gl'l'ty'N' l fl~oN ON \ ANNUAL RATE ADJOURNMENT HASTENED Grants Made For Purchase of Sites For Wonien's League Building anid Dormitories (By Associated Press) LANSING, May 13.-The Senate late tonight concurred in the Mouse amendment to the University appro- priations bill passed earlier in the evening, granting the complete six- tenths mill levy without limitation. The levy, which is to be based on the state's valuation of 1926, will give the University more than $4,240,000 a year for maintenance and operation. In addition to the mill tax measure the legislature earlier in the day passed a bill providing $4,150,000 in the next biennial period for buildings and improvements. Only five dissent- ing votes were cast against this meas- ure. Early in the everting the Senate passed the mill tax bill with a five and a half tenths mill levy. The more generous House bill made the levy six-tenths of a mill, and was confirm- ed by the Senate later. This is in contrast to the former limitation on the mill levy, giving the University, only $3,700,000 annually. The buildings and improvements bill grants the request of President Clarence Cook Little for funds with which to carry out the program in- augurated by the late President Mar- ion Leroy Burton. It includes provis- ions of $350,000 to purchase a site for the Women's League building, $250,000 for the purchase of land for dormitories, $1,100,000 for a model elementary school and other items, to bear tax clauses. $1,450,000 was provided without tax clauses, Includ- ing the amount requested for a new wing for Angell hall. Sums asked for a new observatory building and a bi- ological station were turned down by the Senate committee two weeks ago. The 54th legislature planned to end its regular session some time tonight. The house decided to meet the neces- sity of holding a Saturday session by adjourning until five minuates after midnit.
