Tibbitts Will
Continue Stay
In Washinoton
Clark Tibbitts of the sociology de-
partment who was appointed statis-
tician for the Federal Employment
Relief Administration will remain ir
Washington for the next few monthE
and possibly for the whole semester
It had been expected that Tibbitts
would return to the University early
in February.
Mr. Tibbitts was affiliated with the
Bureau of the Census in 1930, and
director of the unemployment census
in Chicago two years ago. Last sum-
mer he was offered a position on the
Illinois Parole Board, but turned it
down to return to Ann Arbor to com-
plete the mapping of census tract
to be used in the prospective Federal

be passed by Congress in its current
session.
Use Of Plant Forms
Shown In Exhibit
An exhibition of 40 plant form:.
in ornament is being shown in the
first floor cases of the Architectural
Building. The idea of demonstrating
the myriad uses of plant forms i
design was worked out by the Metro-
politan Museum of Art, the New York
Botanical Gardens, and the Brooklyrn
Botanic Garden who supplied the
living plant specimens and inspirec
several high schools and schools o
design in and about New Yorkto se
problems for their students in tht
type of design.
Generally, each piece of work i
made up of three parts: an accurate
reproduction of the plant form, ar
analysis of the form for its simple
structure and finally the working o
this form into an original design.
One of the best examples of a de-
sign applied to a special problem i
a tobacco plant used in the decora
tion of a humidor. Most of the de-
signs are of textiles but a few o
those shown are in the form of boo
jackets or decorations for glassware.
,Mail Situation,

Possibility Of Pr e s i d e ni t
Sending Special MessageF
To Congress Looms
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.- P)-
President Roosevelt soon may draft a
special message to Congress on the
air mail situation, reports in postal
circles said today.
The reports, following an open
charge by Postmaster-Gen. James A.
Farley that all domestic air mail con-
tracts except one were products of
conspiracy, did not disclose what the
President will recommend.
Some hope is being held out that
several companies accused by Farley
of "collusion" might be brought back
into the air mail picture by drastic
self-reorganization. Otherwise they
would be barred from bidding for
five years.
Senator Joseph O'Mahoney (Dem.,
Wyo.), a former assistant postmaster-
general, moved to this end. lHe plead-
ed:
"Let us make the guilt personal.
We should not visit it upon the in-
dustry."
See Court Battle
As the Roosevelt administration
prepared for a court battle over the
Iramatic cancellation of the air com-
panies' contracts, Parley issued an
open letter. It asserted flatly that
chiefs of 14 aviation companies met
in the big, gray stone Postoffice De-
partment here in 1930, and that 13
zame out with lucrative holdings.
Competitive bidding was aban-
doned, Farley charged, and other
;ompanies were excluded from the
meeting. He declared also that a sys-
tem of extending contracts, main-
tained under the Hoover Administra-
tion, was "illegal,"
One Concern Untainted
Parley said that only the National
Parks Airways emerged empty-hand-
ud from the 1930 conference. That
concern alone, he asserted, will be
given a further hearing.
Farley charged that former Post-
master-Gen. Walter . Brown acted
illegally" when he extended five
,ontracts beyond their normal date
:f expiration,
"Then Postmaster-Gen. Brown," he
said, "proceeded to build up, by the
so-called 'extension' of routes, part
of the system of the United Aircraft
and Transport Corp., and the greater
part of the American Airways and the
Transcontinental and Western Air
systems."
MacCracken Is Sentenced
William P. MacCracken, airmail
company attorney, who was sen-
tenced by the Senate Wednesday
night to 10 days in jail, was said to
have presided at some of the 1930
meetings. Brown and W. Irving Glo-
ver, former second assistant postmas-
ter-general, attended some of the
conferences.
A showdown on the Senate's right
to put two aviation men in jail for
ontempt was in prospect.
No sooner had the Senate sen-
fenced. MacCracken, and L. H. Brit-
tin, vice president of Northwest Air-
ways, to 10 days each, than swift
preparations for a court test were set
in motion.
They were sentenced to the Dis-
,rict of Columbia jail on charges of
treating too lightly a subpoena of
the Senate Air Mail Investigating
Committee.

By SIGRID ARNE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 -(I) -
The great undeciphered pages of
American history which lie "unread"
in Indian mounds are beginning to
give up their lore before the attack
of shovels wielded by CWA workers.
Men, digging in a mound near
Bradenton, Fla., have d i s c o v e r e d
what archeologists believe may be
the town of "Ucita," visited by Her-
nando de Soto, the Spanish explorer
who landed on this continent in 1539.
In North Carolina they have found
what may be another step in De
Soto's progress across the continent,
the town of "Quasili," a Cherokee
Indian village.
Scrap by scrap the CWA workers,
led by scientists from the Smithson-
ian Institution, are putting together
early history. At the project near
Bradenton they have found three
small glass beads. That means the
Mayajuaca and Ais Indians who once
lived there had met Europeans.
The work progresses slowly andi
carefully. The men are trained to
dig so as not to break the relics they
find. Each shovel of dirt is si-fted
through wire. As the relics are found
they are placed on boards just over
the place where they were unearthed,
so the exact layout of the vanished
city can be reconstructed.
Near Bradenton the CWA workers
have been uncovering the exact out-
lines of a "mortuary temple." Sev-
eral such are known in the country
and are believed to have been the
final burial place where primitive
tribes placed their dead after bury-
ing the bodies.
The Indians built this Florida tem-
ple so well, by charring the posts for
the walls, that. the workers have
found outlines of a room about 25
feet square and two cremation altars.
Excavations have uncovered six
cylindrical sticks of resin about six
inches long and one-half inch in di-
ameter which may have been the
This mound is believed to be the
site of an old Hitchiti village. Thej
tribe seems to have had contact both
with Europeans and with tribes from
the northern part of this country.
In a nearby village the CWA workers
have excavated the outlines of a rec-
tangular house.
The fifth state seeing explorations
under CWA f u n d s is Tennessee.
There excavations are being made in
the Shiloh national park at Pitts-
burgh Landing. Both original and
civil war relics are sought.
Dr. Frank M. Setzler, archeologist
at the Smithsonian Institution, is
directing the work.
