Few Concessions Necessary "Reverting to the writing an ! teaching of history, two concession have to be made," Dr. Cross contin ued. "First, it is very proper in democracy that there shall be fran and fearless criticism of matters tha concern the public as a whole, par ticularly in so vital a matter as th education of youth. Secondly, as; reaction against a somewhat exhub erant complacency and smug opt: mism in our literature and histor land a tendency in our biography no l only to exclude all unlovely traits bu t to add qualities, edifying themselve to which the subject of the eulog would lay no claim, a reaction ha set in and various mean and commo traits have on occasion been empn 1 sized outofsall proportion, resuh Iing," Dr. Cross concluded, "in pictu es equally untrue to life." l In between the three speeches Ji ciuded on last night's program we. r featured a total of 19 popular an semi-classical song numbers by th - University of Michigan Glee club u der the direction of Theodore Harr son, of the University School of Mi sic.

The afternoon session was devoted to a discussion of what an educational program in forestry should consist of and the lines of work that a forestry graduate -could go into after gradua- tion. The advisibility of lumber com- panies making available definite in- formation regarding their holdings from which management plans could be made by the forestry students was also taken under consideration. The 1 committee was desirous of being of assistance in preserving historical da- ta of the lumber industry by pro- viding exhibit material, old imple- ments used in the early gays of log- ging, records, files of letters, and l photographs, all of which it is plann- to make available to the general pub- lie. Before closing the meeting the com- mittee agreed to meet twice a year, once in a large meeting with all for- esters and once in a small meeting of the standing committee proper. All meetings will be held in Ann Ar- bor. Discuss Wood Utilization Problems of utilization of woods were also discussed during the con- vention. These included uses of hem- lock, the marking of timber, and the advantages of selective cutting. Am interest was shown in the investi-a tive work now being done in Sagi- naw forest, experiments of which have I been going on for 15 years. The committees meeting here yester- day were outgrowths of twohforestry meetings held last spring, the upper peninsula section meeting in Chica- go and the lower peninsula foresters in Ann Arbor. Each section appointed committees to maintain contact witi the forestry school. This is the first meeting of these joint committees. CHAMBERLIN WILL SPEAK AT STUDENTCONFERENCE Jo H.

The ath was denied him until the special ampaign funds committee can furth- r investigate and report upon th'i harges of fraud in both his primary ,md general election campaign. aLike the senator-elect from Illinois, [e will have an opportunity to pre- sent his case in person and through counsel before the committee and then will be heard in his own behalf on the Senate floor. Vote Is M6 to 30 Hopes of the friends of Vare that his case would prove stronger than hat of Smith were shattered for the Senate vote to deny him the oath of office was 56 to 30, while that in Smith's case was 53 to 28. After moreathan two days of ora- tory, those eading the fight on behalf of the Pennsylvanian went down fighting, and the tenacious Reed, of Pennsylvania, carried the battle be- yond the last roll call by holding up temporarily a resolution of his dis- tant cousin, Reed, of Missouri, re- affirming the authority of the special committee to act. Is Second Fight It was over a similar resolution that the two Reeds, the one a Re- publican and the other a Democrat. fought so bitterly during the Senate filibuster at the end of the last ses- sion. As a result of this fight, the Committee was rendered powerless to act during the recess of Congress. After the Pennsylvania Reed had ask- ed that the resolution go over until the next session of, the Senate, which will be on Monday, the Missourian, the chairman of the special commit- tee, declared that this would cause a delay of three days in getting the investigation under way. "For that three days delay the sen- ator from Pennsylvania must again accept the responsibility," Reed of Missouri declared with a show of heat. Reed of Pennsylvania made no reply. Under the resolution denying Vare the oath, offered originally by Sena- tor Norris, Republican, Nebraska, and subsequently modified, the special committee is directed to report back to the Senate. as quickly as pissibl, but ini no case later than next Feb. 8. No time limit was set on the Smith investigation which was ordered Wed- nesday.
