One hun- dred fifty men were thrown out of work last week by the disastrous Cavac Radio company fire. None pf these men have registered yet. Relief work in the form of distri- bution of sand and wood has been extremely successful, Mayor Staeb- ler reported. Sand has been furn- Ished by the University and by several organizations in the city and is sold to the residents of the town as a remedy for icy walks and slippery steps.

The $350,000 sewer project will very soon be let, the pamphlet states, and contains a clause assur- ing the employment of Ann Arbor men. Where possible, University cons ruction contracts are speci- fying the employment of local labor. The pamphlet also contains some "arpdies of unfairness in the treat- ment of unemployed men.

Gambling, the use of narcotics,1 "easy money from bootlegging," the use of liquor by minors and other things were mentioned as probable causes of crime, but the report said there "is no single cause; likewise there is no panacea to be offered." To discourage crime in the fu- ture the commission advocated ac- tion by the legislature to requireI schools to offer instruction in char-I acter, morals and law observance. A psychiatric clinic at Jackson prison, permanent grand juries in the larger counties, stiffer penal- ties for "racketeers," periodic auto- mobile drivers' licenses and modifi cation of substantive laws to pro- vide standardization of punish- ment were recommended.
