BAY CITY-A petition with 2,075e signers has been prepared here ask-I ing the city commission to enactf an ordinance providing for the c construction of a municipal light-a ing plant. The petition suggests 11 that if the commission fails to actt on the matter that it be submit- ted to the voters in the April elec- tion. DETROIT-Soon after word was received here today that the bonus bill had been enacted into law by Failure of the New York Evening World was attributed by Prof. John L. Brumm, of the journalism de- partment, to the fact that its poli- cy, which was neither conservative nor sensational, did not appeal to a large public. "The World," he said, "is a paper half way between the New York Times and a Hearst paper." Professor Brumm explained that well educated people prefer a con- servative paper, while others want one that is more sensational. Of the latter class especially, there are many to choose from in New York. "The World has been famous," he continued, "because of its crusades and because of its well written and frank editorial page. For a con- siderable time this was in charge of Frank Cobb who was regarded as one of the most forceful, fearless men in newspaper writing. Walter Lippman, who is the edi- torial chairman at the present time, brought a scholarly back- ground into the editorials that fur- ther established this department of FINANCIERVISION ERA OF NORMALCY Confidence in Value of Stocks, Return of Prosperity, Seen by Moody. Continued confidence in stock values and a slow return to pros- perity will characterize the next decade in the business world, in the opinion of John Moody, noted New York banker and financial analyst, who spoke yesterday on "The Fi- nancial and Business Outlook for 1931," before an audience that over- flowed the West Engineering build- irg auditorium. "I believe that the United States will continue to grow, world prob- lems will be solved, and the country will enter another period of great stability," Mr. Moody said. On the other hand, he maintained, stocks certainly will not, during the next 20 years, reach the heights record- ed during the inflation period cli- maxed in September, 1929. The present depression is unlike any that has ever occurred before, Mr. Moody said. After the war, the United States became a creditor nation; a period of stability was reached, and the apparent sound- ness of the investments brought many people to buy stocks, he de- clared. Speculation began; people decided the millenium had come, and that there was no need of working; even the economists be- gan to think public demand un- limited, he pointed out. Investors lost perspective and overspeculated, he declared; stock issues were doubled, and the coun- try tremendously over-capitalized. When the crash came, millions were wiped out, he said. "So millionaires who bought lemons in 1929 are sell- ng apples in 1931," he commented. The panic of 1893, which has been compared tothe recent one, was entirely different from it, he said. It became acute because of crop1 failures, labor troubles, and politi- cal unsettlement, he pointed out, and occurred at a time when the1 United States was still a debtor na- tion. Capone Sentenced to Six Months for Contempt of Court CITES REASONS ?K 'WORLD' FAILURE the paper as one of the best in the country. Lippman is the author of "A Preface to Politics," "Public Opinion," "The Phantom Public," and "Men of Destiny." The news value of The World has always been high. Professor Brumm said that it is one of the most enterprising papers in this respect. It has reported Washington accu- rately and originally because it has been in disfavor with the news agencies very often and has been forced to do its own reporting in- stead of obtaining the information through these services. He stated that he believed that the annual loss of The World was about $40,000. SPRENCLI C TALKS ON ASAICV Chicago Professor Decries Fear That Awakening of Asia c Portends Danger. "What does the awakening of Asia portend? Does it mean danger or hostility?" queried Prof. Martin Sprengling of the Oriental Institute t of the- University of Chicago, yes-1 terday in a lecture delivered in Na- tural Science auditorium. There isf no fear of it in Professor Spreng-A ling's mind, "Our modern civilization is beingr subjected to an intensive and criti-4 cal study by the scholars of the Near East and they are extractingr from values of permanent impor-i tance," he said. The literary re-I search and creative work beingc done in the Egyptian Univerity ofc Cairo, in his opinion, is as "honest,c sincere, keen and fine as beingP done at any university in America." "Taha Hussain, the blind social philosopher and literary critic of Modern Egypt, is one of the out-t standing scholars teaching ArabicI Literature and Literary History atc the University of Cairo. He is onel of the literary architects of modern Egypt, according to P r o f e s s o rf Sprengling. Taha Hussain afterI completing his education at AlF Azhar, the medieval religious uni- versity of Egypt proceeding to Paris and there made an intensive studyJ of the classical greek and French E literatures. Now he contributes tov the literary journals of his country and is also building a teaching1 force imbued with his own critical1 spirit to,.spread modern world views in the Arabic speaking world. "The critical evaluation whicht modern Asia is making of its ownI and our western civilization," Pro- fessor Sprengling said, "foretells of a synthesis that may be very dif- ferent from the partisan colonial interpretation or that often given in the public news prints."

B. degree in 1892, and is president of the college alumni association, as well as the holder of an LL.D. de- gree from the University of Detroit.

Detroit Svm- phony society, and the Federation of Jewish charities.

MICHIGAN SECUREHS SETIN OS Automatic Reapportionment Seats in Congress Will Take Place March 4. of (By Associated P'ress) WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--Congress today opened the treas- ury to increased loans to World War veterans over the objection of President Hoover. The veterans loan relief bill became a law when the Senate, voted, 76 to 17, to disregard the presidential veto after acrimonious debate which brought demonstrations from the crowded galleries. By a similar decisive margin the House yesterday overrode the "no" of Mr. Hoover. The legislation allows the veterans to borrow up to half the face value of their compensation certificates which were allowed When Driver Is Away, by Congress seven years ago over The Auto Will Stray the veto of President Coolidge.

Thirty-two states affected by the law making the new representation alignment then will receive official notice from William Tyler Page, House clerk, of the number of seats they are to have for 10 years oe- ginning with the 73rd Congress. This became certain today when the House census committee tabled all proposals designed to change the reapportionment either by increas- ing the number of House seats or delaying enforcement of the law, The vote was 13 to 8. Under the act of 1929, a reappor- tionment based on the 1930 census is automatic unless C o n g r e s changes the law. Efforts were made by representatives from states los- ing seats to increase the number, but sufficient strength could not be mustered to force the bill out of committee even after prolonged hearings. Under the new reapportionment as announced by President Hoover in November, 21 states lose 27 seats to 11 states. California gains nine, Michigan four, Texas three. Two additional seats each go to New Jersey, New York and Ohio. Connecticut, Flori- da, North Carolina, Oregon and Washington each gain one. CONVENTION HEARS TALK BYllDRHKLEIN, mediately. With the appointment of the new lower staff members, Palmer also stated that there are still a few opportunities for tryouts interested in the work of the business staff of a monthly magazine. A meeting of all sophomores and second-semester freshmen who are eligible will be held at 4 o'clock Tuesday in the offices of the Gargoyle in the Press building. Work on the business staff of the Gargoyle, Palmer said, gives the underclassmen the opportunity for practical experience in sales and contact work and advertising.

SENATE ASKS HYDE TO EXPLAIN ACTION1 Senator Is Questioned About Use of $20,000,000 of Drought Relief Fund. (PY Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--The Senate today called upon Secretary Hyde to "explain immediately" why the s u p p 1 e m e n t a r y $20,000,000 drought relief fund had not been made available. Even as it did so, the department of agriculture moved to use half of the appropriation as a reserve to assist the formation and exten- sion of agricultural credit corpor- ations. Applications for such loans of the $10,000,000 thus set aside will be received by the feed loan office of the department early next week and actual loans probably will be made by the end of the week.
