Author Of 'Varsity' To Be
Master Of Ceremonies
For Jamboree
J. F. Lawton, '11, will be master
of ceremonies at the second all-
"ampus jamboree sponsored by the
Student Christian Association, it was
announced last night by S.C.A. of-.
ficials. The purpose of the jamboree
is to raise funds for the University
Fresh Air Camp. A date has not yet
definitely been set.
Lawton. who wrote the words to
"Varsity," also . presided over the
jamboree last year which was wit-
nessed by more than 3,000 persons
and which featured more than 200
entertainers including complete per-
sonnel of the Varsity Band, Glee
Club, and the Ukranian Chorus of
Detroit.
In response to popular request,
members of the Vortex club of
Detroit will again give a rendition of
the "Bum Army" which was taken
from one of the earlier Union operas.
The Fresh Air Camp, which was
first organized in 1922, has served
an average of 400 boys a year in its
13 years of existence. At the present
time with the aid of CWA labor a
new building containing dining and
sleeping facilities is beng bult on the
grounds of the camp near Patter-
sn Lake. Ths building will be avail-
able for the use of University stu-
dents in the winter and will be used
by the campers this coming summer.
The boys who go to the camp are
selected through the cooperation of
15 social and welfare agencies located
in Ann Arbor and in Detroit. For the
most part ,the individuals picked for
the camp are those who would or-
dinarily never receive such an ad-
vantage and whose restricted life has
given rise to problems of social ad-
justment.
President Alexander G. Ruthven
described the camp as "a project in
human engineering." Members of the
student body of the University act as:
counselors at the camp.
Members of the S.C.A. cabinet
stated last night that further details
as to the program of the jamboree
will be announced later.

It was great fun for children of the East Hartford, Conn., school
when the Connecticut 4iver overflowed its banks and went on a ram-

group is shown on a small piece of dry land in front of the school waiting

President Will S u b m i t
30,000 Word Commit-
tee Report To Congress
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-- () -
President Franklin D. Roosevelt will
submit his proposals on social secur-
ity legislation to congress Thursday.
The program, for Federal super-
vision of state controlled unemploy-
ment insurance, old age pensions and
medical aid systems will be accom-
panied by a 30,000-word report by
the special committee named by the
President to study the subjects and
make recommendations.
Senator Wagner (Dem.-N.Y.) and
Representative Lewis (Dem.-Md.) are
preparing bills to cover the adminis-
tration program.
Direct Federal aid would be given
states assisting persons over 65 years
old, until the proposed pension plan
can get into operation.
New light on the old age pension
system the President's cabinet com-
mittee has advised was shed by an
authoritative source, which said the
plan was three-fold:
1. Eligible persons now more than
65 pears old would receive pensions
ranging from $25 to $30 a month in
cities to smaller sums in smaller
places. The contributions by Federal
government and states to this system
would probably be fifty-fifty.
2. There would be a compulsory
system covering low-income wage
earners now under 65. They and
employers would contribute to pro-
vide the workers an annuity in, their
old age.
3. A voluntary system would be
established to reach agricultural and
migratory workers. They might pay
into a fund for annuities.

DETROIT, Jan. 16. - (')- The
NRA, in the words of Donald R. Rich-
berg is not dead but "very much alive"
and operating upon "the primary
principle that the recovery adminis-
trftion and those who adopt codes
shall obligate themselves to do only
what they can do, to insure com-
pliance."
The executive director of the Na-
tional Emergency council digressed
Tuesday night from his address as
prepared for delivery before the Na-
tional Automobile Dealers association
to deny the contention of Gen. Hugh
S. Johnson that the NRA is "as dead
as the dodo."
Previously, Richberg had asserted
that "the automotive industry has an
obligation to itself and to the country
to regularize production, distribution
and employment," and warned that
"it is an old, old story that the busi-
ness which will not regulate itself
to eliminate its harmful practices will
eventually be regulated 'to the queen's
taste'- but hardly to its own."
He had softened those remarks by
disclaiming any intention of utter-
ing threats and saying: "I am trying
to urge some philosophical conclu-
sions."
Of the NRA, he said:
"It is not being chloroformed. Mor-
ticians have not been called in, mere-
ly doctors."
"The principles of the NRA have
been preserved practically intact. But
principles are not so rigid as to destroy
operation.",
Richberg declared that the automo-
bile industry, above all, should be
most keenly aware that "lasting re-
covery depends on a steadily rising
standard of living" and that "when a
decent livelihood is denied to workers
and small enterprisers in other trades
and industries the great market for
automobile is steadily destroyed."
"With the effort of the National Re-
covery Administration to bring more
orderliness and fairness into indus-
trial operations there should be a
profound sympathy - a sympathy
whichhas not always been clearly ap-
parent among those most influential
in the industry.'
Urging regularization within the in-
dustry, he said that "to employ 200,-
000 men at comparatively good wages
for six months is obviously a less effi-
cient use of human labor than to give
Van Ameringen To
Continue In Race
Victor E. Van Ameringen, Ann Ar-
bor attorney for 30 years, announced
yesterday that he would stay in the
race for the circuit judge nomina-
tion.
Petitions advocating Mr. Van Am-
eringen's candidacy were circulated
during his absence and without his
knowledge, and it was not determ-
ined until yesterday whether r not
he would run.
"I will make a dignified campaign,"1
declared Mr. Van Ameringen, "and if
the people think I am competent to
hold the office, I will abide by their
decision."

a smaller number of men continuous
employment at lower wages under bet-
ter conditions."
Of collective bargaining between
employers and employes he said that
"if workers do not organize as em-
ployes you may be positive they will
organize as voters. The result will be,
demands for the regulation of terms
and conditions of employment by sta-
tute instead of by collective bargain-
ing." He added that "it is one of the
ripening fruits of widespread opposi-
tion by employers to labor organiza-
tions and to collective bargaining that
political demands have been increas-
ing, not only to fix the general rights
of employes but also to fix their
wages and hours of work by legislative
act."
