J. M. Fitzgerald, Past Head of'
West Maryland Road, Is Well
Versed in Phases of Work.
ON RAILROADS 40 YEARS
To Speak on 'Some Aspects of
Modern Transportation' to
All-Engineering Smoker.
J. M. Fitzgerald, former president
of the Western Maryland Railroad
company, will speak to the engin-I
(ering students of the University
on "Some Aspects of Modern Trans-
portation" at a meeting at 7 o'cloc:,.
Thursday night, in the ballroom of
the Union building.
Fitzgerald began his engineering
experience in the Southwest in 1893,
in a period when extensive railroad
development was being made all
through Texas and Oklahoma. The
early engineers had some interest-
ing and romantic experiences dur-
ing the rapid growth of the rail-
road network. After working in this
territory until it was finally de-
veloped, he moved into the south-
eastern states rising rather rapidly
through the executive positions of
several of the railroads in that
section of the country.
With Many Railroads.
He was assistan i general manager1
of the Virginia & Southwestern
railway, resigning that position to
accept the vice-presidency of the
Pittsburgh Terminal Railroad and
Coal company. He later became
president of the DavisCoal and
Coke company and was next con-
nected with the Western Maryland,
Railroad company, finally becoming
president of the latter organization.
He is a member of the Eastern
Railroad's Presidents' conference,1
and as an executive in that organ-
ization, has been in close touch
with many problems in modern
transportation. He is considered
well-qualified to present his address
on "Some Aspects of Modern Trans-
portation." He will discuss the1
Hoover plan of inland waterways,1
the consolidation of railroads into
a simplified network, the extent of
the growth of the automotive
traffic, and finally, the develop-t
ment of air service in the matter
of passengers and express. He is
making a special trip from New
York City to attend the meeting.t
Belongs to A. I. M. M.
Fitzgerald is a member of a num-
b:r of profesional societies in thef
country, including the Engineers'A
Society of Western Pennsylvania,
the American Institute of Mining
and Metallurgical Engineers, the
Acadermy of Political Science, and
the Associated Traffic Clubs of
America. He also is a member of
the honorary society Beta Gamma
Sigma.

Public Utility 13ureau Reports
Only Small Fall in Spite
of Depression Year.
Michigan gas companies sold ap-
proximately 36 billion cubic feet
of gas in 1930, according to com-
pilations just completed by the
Michigan Public Utility Informa-
tion bureau, a record that has been
beaten only once in history.,
Sales in the state were 4. per
cent greater than those for 1928,
which were ahead of all records up
to that time. They fell 5.3 per cent
behind those for 1929 which had
been brought to new high levels by
the unusual industrial activity of
the early months of that year.
It is significant of the progress of
the gas industry in Michigan that
t la sales for 1930 were nearly twice
as large as those for 1922 and more
than twice as large as those for
1921, officialsbelieve. The increase
during the decade is ascribed to a
number of contributing causes,
chief among them being the growth
in the population of the state,. the
extension of gas, service to com-
munities which have not enjoyed it
before, greater use of gas in the
home, notably for water heating and
house heating, and larger and more
varied use of gas in industrial oper-
ations requiring the application of
heat.
The outstanding sales gain of the
year was in house-heating. Five
years ago house-heating with gas
was an almost unknown luxury in
Michigan. During 1930 the use of
gas for this purpose accounted for
nearly two and one-half per cent
of the total sales.
More than 725,000 customers were
served by the Michigan gas utilities
during 1930. The great bulk of these
-close to 700,000-were domestic
customers.
Domestic gas sales constituted 72
and one-half per cent of the total
sales; industrial and commercial
25 per cent, and house-heating two
and one-half per cent.
Extension of gas service to com-
munities which hitherto have not
enjoyed such service continued dur-
ing 1930 as an outstanding phase of
the development of the industry in

and the President's committee of
fifty on college hygiene will discuss
such questions as "How is the best
way to teach hygie'ne in our col-
leges? What is the best physical
activities program for students?
What constitutes good health serv-
ice practice? What should be done
regarding sanitation in student liv-
ing quarters? How should these
regulations be enforced?"

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. - Deporta-
tion of alien Communists will be
recommended to Congress by the
Fish investigatin'Jg committee.
This was disclosed by Representa-
tive Hamilton Fish, ;r., chairman of
the coimmiittee, at a mass meeting
to combat Coimunism at Carnegie
hall Friday night. Representatives
of nearly 70 civic. patriotic, labor
and other societies attended under
a heavy police guard.
IResolutions urged:
1. Re-establishment of a bureau
of investigation in the department
of justice to shadow Communist
and kindred organizations.
S2. Levying of an embargo against
]Svet exports.
3. Exclusion of the Communist
and the Workers' party from the
ballot.
Fish declared in an address that
Communism was a "menace to the
I nation and should be driven from
our shores," at the same time criti-
cizing what he called "grave abuses"
in the capitalistic system.
He advocated the abolition of
child labor, a 44-hour working week,
federal old age pensions, unemploy-
ment insurance and longer summer
vacations as means by which capi-
talism might "clean its Augean
stables."
Debaters Meet Team
From OhioUniversity
Debating teams from Dennison

in a no-decision contest on the con-
ference question, state unemploy-
ment insurance. The M i c h ig a n
team, composed of Ed McCormick,
'32, Louis Hurwitz, '31, and Samuel
Ellis, '33, upheld the affirmative.
Another debate, in which another
affirmative team will participate, is
scheduled for next Thursday against

The fund was established throughj
