THlE MICHIGAN DAILY Outlaws Don't Often Escape -Can Dillinger? ABNoted Educator IlI Boa~ssemnosABOUT BOK" FISHER, THESES, AND NEGRO MUSIC By JOHN W. PRITCHARD Already published by Harper and Brothers is Dr. Frederick B. Fisher's new book, "Can I Know God?", the April addition to Harper's Monthly Pulpit. Dr. Fisher presents to us in "Can I Know God?" a progressive series of essays which attempts to clarify the thought of the man whose re- ligious ideas have been muddled by a tangled mass of conflicting argu- ments regarding the nature of God, and the extent to which he can be relied upon and believed in by the individual. Selling for $1, Dr. Fish- er's little book probably will be of great value both to the average per- son and to the reader of the colleg- ian's mental standard. It will be re- viewed soon in this column. A very nice letter from John Wiley and Sons, Inc., informs us that they are sending by separate post a com- plimentary copy of Cole and Bige- low's "Manual of Thesis Writing," for review purposes. The price, they continue, is 75 cents. The book has not appeared, so there is little that can be said about it-except that it is probably on sale by this time. May 5 is an excellent moment to announcel the existence of such a work; perhaps it will be- of use to you-if you can find it. Last fall Robert 0. Ballou, pub- lisher, attracted considerable atten- tion with "Roll, Jordan. Roll,'' con- taining photographs of negro life in South Caroline by Doris Ulmann and explanatory text by Julia Peterkin. Ballou now presents another facet of the negro portion of America in "Beale Street (Where the Blues Be- gan)", by George W. Lee. The tip- off to the subject matter is found in the fact that a foreword is written by W. C. Handy, author of "Beale Street Blues" and "St. Louis Blues." Says advance publicity: "Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee, is where the blues began. They were born in the odor of barbecued pig and fried fish, accompanied by the voices of glib- tongued barbers and electric pianos, Plans for the College of Engineer- ing Open House to be held May 11 and 12 were announced at a meeting of the Engineering Council Wednesday night. An invitation to all fathers of en- gineering students and others inter- ested to attend classes and to inspect the engineering laboratories next Friday and Saturday was issued by Walter Powers, '34E, president of the council. The cap and gown committee of the senior class reported that ap- proximately 130 caps and gowns are available for use by members of the senior class who wish to save a dollar or more on rental charges. These traditional insignia of the senior class were left to the college as a memorial by the class of 1931. Notice will be given for dates of measurements and distribution, according to Stuart Smart, '34E, chairman of the com- mittee. Plans for an Engineering College Smoker to be held the latter part of May were discussed, but definite ac- tion was deferred until the next meet- ing. The constitution of the Engineer- ing Council was revised in order to more closely link the various socie- ties of the College of Engineering, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Rho Tau, Tri- angles, and Vulcans were added to the roster of the council's member so- cieties. --Associated Press Photo The Rev.

Students To Inspect Sanitation Systems' The Ann Arbor branch of the American Society of Chemical En- gineers is planning an inspection tripI of sewage disposal plants and water purification methoas at Flint and Saginaw for today, according to John Skinner, 34E, president of the club. These plants were designed and constructed under the direction of Professors William C. Hoad and Ar- thur J. Decker of the civil engineer- ing department, who will accompany the students on their tour of inspec- tion today. The students will leave the Union at 7:30 a. m., spending the morning in the Flint plants, and the remain- der of the day inspecting the water purification plant at Saginaw. DES MOINES, Ia., May 4-(A')- The National Farmer's Holiday As- sociation was pledged today -to op- pose the Agricultural Adjustment Administration's crop reduction as a program "to gain prosperity through starvation." A resolution, adopted at the as- sociation's convention, termed the AAA "a failure and a fraud, an in- sult to every self-respecting farmer and a crime against society and civi- lization. "It proposed to drive 2,000,000 far- mers from the land, while another agency of the administration seeks to settle 2,000,000 of the city unem- ployed on subsistence farmers. It subjects the farmers to the virtual dictatorship of a bureaucracy over which they have no control." The official stand against the AAA was adopted with loud cheers late Thursday night, after a long day of militant speech-making attacking the "new deal," Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, Under-Secretary Rexford Tugwell, and "the money lords." Holiday officials said delegates from 20 states were present atthe convention. Approximately 2,000 persons attended the sessions, but the number increased to an esti- mated 5,000 when the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, priest of Royal Oak, Mich., spoke late in the afternoon. "Tugwell or Christ" is the issue before the nation today, Father Coughlin asserted. He attacked Tug- well as the servant of international bankers and charged him with re- sponsibility for the crop reduction plans of the AAA. Carrying out their expressed op- position to the AAA, the Holiday far- mers added a demand that Secre- tary Wallace be removed. -Associated Press Photo The chances are all against trigger-fingered John Dillinger even if he has come out on top in his brushes with the law so far. There was Jesse James, shown at lower right in a contemporary artist's sketch, who operated successfully until Robert Ford shot him in 1882 to gain a reward of $30,000. A more modern gunman was Gerald Chapman (upper right). An escaped convict, he was hunted two years for robbery and murder, finally caught in Indiana, and then hanged in Connecticut in 1926. George "Machine Gun" Kelly (upper left), terrorized the south- west but the law finally "got its man," and he was sentenced to life for kidnaping Charles F. Urschel of Oklahoma.
