AGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1935 - Enrollment For Geology Field Station Begns Cam p Opens Registrati on To Limited Number Of Women Map Data Collected Courses Designed For The Undergraduates; H. a 11, Scott, Ehler To Teach New Strikes Result In Closing Of. More Factories Senators Plan Investigation Of Relief Handling Tax Case Approved Small Will Back Grants Of States Force Hopkins To Up Threat ,, '. . ,; Students of the University who de- sire to attend the 16th annual session of the Geological and Geographical Field Station, to be held June 19 to July 28 at Mills Spring, Ky., should make their applications immediately according to an announcement made yesterday by Prof. G. M. Ehlers of the geology department, director of the station. The total registration is limited to 45 students and a large number have already expressed their intention of attending. This year, according to Professor Ehlers, there will be ac- commodations for a limited number of women, the first girl student hav- ing gone down to the camp last year. Professor Ehlers emphasized the fact that the instruction given in the field courses corresponds very closely to the work done by professional geologists and geographers. The stu- dent is first given instruction in the use of his instruments and in field methods and is then assigned a defi- nite area for study. He is thus placed in the same position as a professional geologist or geographer, Professor Ehlers explained, and is given the op- portunity to apply his previous train- ing at the University in observing and interpretirig the various phenomena of his assigned field. Make Maps Of Area The courses offered by the station, primarily for the undergraduate, are under the direction of Professor Eh- lers, Prof. L D. Scott of the geology department and Prof. Preston E. James of the geography department. During the course of the field investi- gation, the data collected is checked by the instructors and incorporated into a large geological and geographi- cal map of the area which is being compiled by members of the station. These maps have proved to be of great scientific interest, Professor Eh- lers stated, and several of them have accompanied published reports writ- ten by staff members and graduate students of the station. There are also courses designed especially for those int'ested in teaching and for the professional geologist. These courses are mainly directed along research lines and other special work. As a direct result of the work done at the station several papers have been published. The papers are all I relative to the regions studied in the vicinity of the camp, and have been published by the members of the sta- tion staff and graduate students. In speaking of the schedule of the work in the courses, Professor Ehlers pointed out that after the more in- tensive work at the station is con- pleted, the field parties make a recon- naissance trip by automobile similar to the one led by Professor Scott during spring vacation. Much Recreation Planned A full recreational life is reported by Professor Ehlers for both students and members of the staff. Swimming, horseshoe pitching, and baseball rank among the leading sports, and the "Varsity" baseball team has earned quite a reputation for itself around the countryside. The location of the camp in Mills Springs is the nearest area to Ann Arbor in which extensive rock forma- tions are exposed at the surface. Va- rious rock strata representing many different geologic periods are avail- able for study. This is an ideal set- up for the course offered to beginners in geology, since these courses are stratigraphical in nature. In Mich- igan the glaciers which have passed' over most of this state have covered up the red rock with large amounts of glacial deposits. Weathering and erosion processes acting upon these rocks have pro- duced various types of soil formations which, according to geographers, have an intimate relation to crop develop- ment. This affords,' therefore, ex- cellent opportunity for the study of this relationship. The glaciers in Michigan have, on the other hand, caused great confusion'and complex- ity in soil types, thus making a study, of soil types extremely difficult. Many Unusual Formations Besides these made to order fea- tures for study, there are a number of natural bridges, underground cav- ers with unusual formationsin them, and many other picturesque features which make the camp site an ideal one. "Students planning to attend the station should make their intentions known to the instructors in charge of the courses as soon as possible, and immediately thereafter should go to the Health Service for typhoid im- munization," Professor Ehlers said. -Associated Press Photo.

WASHINGTON, May 2.- (iP) - Senators preparing to conduct a sweeping investigation into the han- ding of relief watched today to see if :harry L. Hopkins, the relief admin istrator, would make good his latest threat to withhold Federal funds from states refusing to make requested contributicns. Numerous developments pointed to the possibility of an immediate show- down on FERA's efforts to force state officials into line. Chief among them was the fact that Hopkins was at work on grants to be made today or tomorrow from the $100,000,000 fund which he asked President Roosevelt to set aside yes- terday for May relief needs. He was aware that the Illinois house of representatives, faced by the threat that Federal funds would be cut off at midnight last night unless the state agreed to raise $3,000,000 monthly for relief, had rebuffed a sales tax proposed to meet the ulti- matum. In the Illinois statehouse it was rumored that Hopkins stood ready to take over the state's relief administration and assume full re- sponsibility for the care of its l,165,- 897 on relief. Pennsylvania, with 1,866,819 depen- dent on relief payments, likewise had failed to comply with a Federal de- mand for larger contributions. Sev- eral other states were in the same category. Missouri moved only yes- terday to get under the wire by pass- ing a bill appropriating $500,000 for' relief this month. Apparently mindful of these situa- tions, the Senate yesterday sent its appropriations committee into a gen- eral investigation of the distribution of relief funds. It gave the committee specific or- ders to find out what share of the relief burden states are required to bear, what information they are re- quired to supply in seeking Federal funds and what agreements are de- manded of them. Plan Inspection Of G. M. Laboratoryl A tour of inspection to the Detroit City Airport and through the Gen- eral Motors Research laboratory will be made Saturday morning by the Aeronautical Division of the Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers, as a part of a series of extended tours. Frank Denison, '36E, was elected chairman of the organization as a recent meeting, and Edwin Middle- don, '37E, was chosen vice-chairman. Other officers are: William McCance, '36E, secretary; Roy Sandstrom, '36E, treasurer; and Francis Wallace, '36E, engineering council representative. Two More Years X-Ray Experts Of State Will Convene Here Michigan Association Of Roentgenologists Meets Tomorrow In Hospital Michigan X-ray experts, some of them among the most noted in the country, will come to the University Hospital tomorrow for a meeting of the Michigan Association of Roent- genologists. The program for the Association's meeting was outlined by Dr. Samuel Donaldson, of St. Joseph Mercy Hos- pital, secretary. A combined dinner, business and scientific meeting will occupy the delegates, at which time it will be decided whether or not a section of radiology should be estab- lished in the Michigan State Med- ical Society. The election of officers will follow this discussion. Two papers will be delivered by members of the University Medical School faculty. They are "Interver- tebral Tuberculosis," by Dr. Carl Badgley of the bone and joint surgery department, and "The Surgical Treat- ment of Bronchogenic Carcinoma of the Lung," by Dr. John Alexander of the thoracic surgery department. The dinner is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. while the scientific session will take place at 8 p.m. in the clinical amphitheater. Council Pronlises Blanced Budge t A pledge of the city council budget committee to keep Ann Arbor's spend- ing program within the limits of the municipal income was announced yes- terday. Meanwhile, the struggle to meet the financial requests of the various city departments continues. Be- cause it is unable to include in its income estimate any extra funds which are uncertain, the committee indicated that it may resort to draft- ing a supplementary preferred list of "non-allowed" items which may be granted later provided money is avail- able. On the total city valuation of $37,- 801,515, the city will be able to raise $283,511.36 for general administration expenditures. In addition, however, funds for debt service and for special assessments must be included in the budget, it was pointed out.1 The debt service will be approxi- mately $123,016, according to present estimates, and special assessments funds will total $54,593.02. Mystery Shrouds Intentions, Actions Of Two Curators Dr. Norman E. Hartweg, assistant curator of the Zoology Museum rep- tile division, and his associate, Dr. L. C. Stuart, may have gone to Pitts- burgh. They may be attending the annual meeting of the American So- ciety of Ichthyologists and Herpetolo- gists. They may be going to read papers before the society. In fact, they may be doing and going to do almost anything. The story is that they left Ann Ar- bor yesterday shrouded in deep mys- tery. "Go see Hartweg," said Dr. Stuart when asked about the pro- posed trip. "Stuart knows all about it," said Dr. Hartweg when the question was put to him. Asked if he was going to read a paper, he returned laconi- cally and with a grin. "Maybe." "What paper are you going to give?" "I don't know." "Is there anyone going with you?" Dr. Stuart was asked. "I don't know," came the answer. "But -you're sure you are going somewhere?" "I think so." After about ten more similar ques- tions with ten similar answers, the pestering Daily reporter gave it up. "Goodbye," said Drs. Hartweg and Stuart sweetly. It was learned last night that the two zoologists, accompanied by Mrs. Helen T. Gaige, assistant to the di- rector of the University Museums, and Charles F. Walker, Hinsdale fel- low in the Zoology Museum, left Ann Arbor in an automobile. It is be- lieved at the Museums that they are headed for Pittsburgh, where they may attend a convention. I y v(" Vi c t May 'Delay Fears Hay fever sufferers, whose annual agony includes the spring varieties, commonly known as rose fever, will probably not start their sneezing and crying for a few more weeks at least, Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of the Health Service said yesterday. "The amount of pollen in the air so far is too small to do much dam- age," Dr. Forsythe said, "and the re- cent cool weather has retarded the plant growth quite a bit." Of course, those whose sufferings are due to different food irritants, furs, and feathers, go on suffering just the same, the physician said. For them, year-around serum treatment, instead of seasonal, is the only relief available. Dodge Is Invited To National Conferene Prof. Stanley D. Dodge of the geog- raphy department left recently for Washington where he will attend meetings of the Population Associa- tion of America. Professor Dodge, who was recently appointed to a national committee to advise on research in population problems, is attending the meetings on special request of the population committee of the Association. He expects to return to Ann Arbor Sunday. GFOR*TH E 1 , GII00 X~/Y0, -Associated Press Photo. Support of his conduct in present- ing the government's income tax case against Andrew W. Mellon was given by Secretary Morgenthau in a tele- gram to Robert H. Jackson (above), government counsel. Mellon called the telegram "interference" by the treasury secretary. Students Vote To Continue.NIRA For Sessions of Spring Parley Start Today (Continued from Page 1) Dr. E. W. Blakeman, Counsellor in Religious Education and one of the sponsors of the Parley, declared, "It is to be hoped that the deeper ques- tions of human destiny as well as, those of social adjustment may en- gage us at the Spring Parley. The "Value" phase of the subject is chal- lenging. "Also, if we frankly discuss some of the issues on which we seem to differ radically, we should be able to reduce tension and establish confi- dence among groups." It was pointed out by members of the Executive Committee last night that the purpose of the Parley is not "to decide issues, but to present to the student body all sides of current prob- lems, and to- provide the opportunity for students of all opinions to come together and thrash out their prob- lems on a rational basis." If Prof. Everett S. Brown's class in national politics has anything to say about it, President Roosevelt's plan of extending the NIRA for two years will become law, Professor Brown submitted to his class yesterday three proposals, of which they were to vote for one: to extend the NIRA for one year, intra- state business being excepted from its control, as was advocated this week by the Senate finance commit- tee; to extend the NIRA for two years with modifications, as is advocated by the President; and to either repeal the NIRA or to let it die a natural death on its expiration, June 16. The results of the vote, which was taken without attempt to filibuster or log-roll, was: for the first, 29; for the second, 40; for the third, 15. The bill is now expected to be sent to the Senate. WOODCOCK TO SPEAK Leonard Woodcock of Detroit will deliver an address on "The History of Economic Crisis" at 8 p.m. today in the Socialist Hall at 217 S. Main Street. Mr. Woodcock, a student of economic trends, will give an anaylsis of American economic history. Open discussion will follow the lecture. Let's be going, Mabel, here comes "Twin- Personality Pete" . .
