THE MICHIGAN DAILY - THURSDAY, JANUARk 17, 1935 Connecticut Children Take Boat To School J. F. Lawton To Lead Campus Entertainment 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.

Security Plan 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. WAR COST $50,000,000,000 WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. - UP) - The cost of the World War to the United States was officially set at about $50,000,000,000 today. 11-77 4 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." Bob Sleds Cutters N I _ 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."
