cent in the number of motor vehicles
in this state, Professor Morrison said.

the College of Engineering of the Uni-
versity, the Michigan State Highway
Department, the Michigan Association
of County Commissioners and En-
gineers. and the Michigan Safety and
Traffic Directors Association.

speak at the conference are: Dean
Herbert C. Sadler of the engineering
college, William S. Housel, professor
of civil engineering and research con-
sultant of the Michigan State High-
way Department's testing laboratory;
and Prof. John S. Worley, head of the
department of transportation and en-
gineering.
Other highway engineers from the
various counties throughout the state,
safety directors, and police omficials
will address the conference, Professor
Morrison said. Among the latter will
be Capt. L. A. Lyon of the Michigan
State Police, and Colonel H. A. Pick-
ert, police commissioner of Detroit.

safety and traffic engineering depart-
ment, American Automobile Associa-
tion; and Sidney J. Williams, director
of the public safety division, National
Safety Council, will be included among
those speaking at the conference on
the safety and traffic problems aris-
ing from modern highway conditions.

He was said to be slated to directj

LOTTE LEHMANN
A REVIEW
Lotte Lehmann, at the close of her
first Ann Arbor concert in Hill Audi-
torium last evening, left an audience,
not speechless as does the Boston
Orchestra, nor excited as does Horo-
witz, but quiet, satfisfied, and very
grateful, as only a truly great lieder
singer can.
Her manner was informal, but def-
erential, at the outset almost hesitant.
She did nothing to impress. The re-
sult was a bond of human intimacy
between listener and singer which
made the audience of some 5,000
seem like a small and friendly gath-
ering.
Lieder, more than any other form
of art, reveals the personality of art-
ist, and woe to the singer whose soul is I
threadbare. Lotte Lehmann's is not,
but possessed of amazing breadth and
richness. She sang cradle songs with
a tenderness which just missed being
sentimental, which is their true na-
ture. Yet she did the Gretchaninoff
"My Native Land" no less well. Her
love songs revealed a deep and very
feminine understanding. The famil-
iar "Widmung" and "Vergebliches.
Standchen" which she sang as en-
cores, appeared in an entirely new

HOLDING OMPANY LICENSES?>
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - (P) -
Federal licensing of public utility
holdings was suggested by the Federal
trade commission today. It said the
"stage is now set so that a combina-
tion of the present holding company
systems would produce one nation-
wide monopoly."
In 1929, the commission reported,

The last student questioned struck
a serious tone in answering, "Many -
though not all - present an interest-
ing topic in an unorganized fashion,
requiring the student to devote un-
necessary amounts of time to glean-
ing the required information."

LANSING, Jan. 25.-- (P) - The first
step in the retirement of sub-mar-
ginal lands surrounding the village
of Waterloo in northwestern Wash-
tenaw and northeastern Jackson
counties was announced today by the
Departnent of Conservation.
The Waterloo project is part of a
program under which the Federal
government is looking toward the
shrinking out-of competitive produc-
tion of some 50,000,000 acres of sub-
marginal farm lands, as a permanent
remedy for over-production of farm
crops. Under this program those first
affected are farmers on lands too
poor or so.poorly located as to permit
decent living conditions, and where
farms were obviously failing and be-
coming economic and social liabilities.
It is expected that actual develop-
ment work will begin April 1 when it
