THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE Roper Asserts Regimentation Is Terminated Declares Government Will Cooperate; 'Basic Plan Of Reform Ended' NEW YORK, Nov. 14. - (P) - Sec- retary of Commerce Roper has as- sured business that "the breathing spell which we are now enjoying is to be the end of government regimenta- tion." He offered cooperation instead of further regulation to bu'siness last night, when he told the Associated Grocery Manufacturers of America to cast aside any uncertainty over future governmental measures. Charles Francis, vice president of General Foods corporation and toast- master at the convention dinner, re- plied that he felt "business is going to get a break." Approved By White House Roper's speech was reported on high authority to have had Whie House scrutiny and approval. In it he defended business as the "scape- goat" of the depression and upheld the profit system. Discussing what he termed "various inaccurate implications and deduc- tions" resulting from the President's announcement of a "breathing spell," commerce secretary recalled that Mr. Roosevelt had borrowed this phrase from Roy W. Howard in answering a letter from the newspaper publisher. "This declaration of the President is clear-cut and concrete," said Roper. "It means specifically that the basic .program of reform has been com- pleted. It means that business no longer needs to feel any uncertainty as to what may come in the future with respect to governmental mea- sures. Modification May Be Needed "Experience may make necessary some modification and adjustment of existing laws, but such changes, if made, will function to improve those relationships which are so essential to national progress . . "The objective of democracy is to bring obout a greater distribution of benefits through evolution, not con- fiscation through any revolutionary methods." Roper outlined the commerce de- partment's program to aid business and called on business to cooperate with the department "to see that imaginary opposition of interests is eliminated and that American bus- iness, in accordance with the Presi- dent's clear-cut statement, is able to move forward aggressively." Conferences Planned The program includes conferences with representatives of all major in- dustries, "with special attention to the needs and problems of smaller business units"; studies of methods to reduce distribution wastes; trips by business men to promote interna- tional trade, and better statistics. Referring to "big business," Roper saidthat."the misdeeds of a few have brought an indictment against the many.", "I am convinced," he said, "that if we are to be motivated primarily by the assumption that bigness must be penalized and restricted merely because of its size, broad and pene- trating recovery will be impossible." Professors Talk On Economic Theory Prof. Hax Handnian and Mr. Rob- ert Horner of the economics depart- ment spoke before fifty members of the Ann Arbor Citizens Council Wed- nesday night at the City Hall. Professor Handman's subject was "The Dilemma of Capitalism," under which he described informally the possible reasons for the failure of classic economic theory to work out since 1929, asserting that government interference with the economic struc- ture has become necessary if capital- ism is to be saved from itself. Mr. Horner advocated a return to laissez-faire, with sufficient regula- tion to ensure genuinely free compe- tition rather than quasi-monopoly.

Will Speak Tonight Plot Of Land Bought For New School Site "Merely looking ahead to the fu- ture," the Board of Education Wed- nesday night approved the purchase of 1712 acres at a cost of $10,000 as a site for a school which will even- tually replace Donovan School. "There is no immediate prospect of building a school," Otto W. Hais- ley, superintendent of schools, de- clared. "It may be 20 years from now." The site lies at the end of Pear St. and Peach St. between Traver St. ind Pontiac Rd. Mr. Haisley pointed out that the disadvantageous location of Donovan School would eventually lead to its abandonment. When the new school is built, the Donovan site will be con- verted into a park, he said. -Associated Press Photo. This is how the huge Travel and Transport building, one of the first structures constructed for Chi- cago's A Century of Progress Exposition - and the last to be razed -looked as workmen reduced it to a mere skeleton of its former grandeur. The building was a sensation at the time of its construction in that it had a floating" roof subject to the vagaries of the atmosphere. University Broadcasts Treats Paintings Of American Artist Marie Abbot And Adelaide Adams Discuss Works Of Reid Over WJR Two paintings by the American artist, Robert Reid, "The Boston Tea Party" and 'Paul Revere's Ride' were discussed by Miss Adelaide Adams of the fine arts department and Miss Marie Abbot, graduate student in fine arts, yesterday over WJR. Miss Adams declared that the Bos- ton Tea Party and the ride of Paul Revere are probably the most pic- turesque events which preceded the American Revolution, offering fitting subjects to be immortalized both in stirring verse and colorful paintings. Before going into a discussion of Reid's paintings, the speaker first familiarized her audience with the artist, explaining: "Like all young ar- Abot Is Named To Position On New Committee To Aid In Planning Mutual Assistance Between Radio And Educators Prof. Waldo Abbot, Director of the University Broadcasting Service, has recently been appointed by the Fed- eral Communications Commission to a national committee which will con- sider plans for mutual cooperation between broadcasters and educators, it was announced yesterday. The committee has been set up with a view to combine the educational ex- perience of the educators with the program technique of the broadcast- ers so as to serve the public in- terest better. The committee, which is headed by Dr. John W. Studebaker, United States commissioner of education, will also consider such specific com- plaints as might be made by non- profit groups against the actions of commercial broadcasters in order that remedial measures may be tak- en if necessary. In its report to Congress, the Fed- eral Communications Commission stated that it feels that broadcasting has a much more important part in the educational program of the coun- try than has yet been found for it, and hopes to develop through this committee a satisfactory technic for presenting educational programs in an attractive manner to the radio listener. tists of his day, he felt the need of European training, so he went to Paris where he studied at the Acad- emie Julien and also in the studio of Dannaq. A new style of painting, called Impressionism, was attracting much attention in France during the late years of the 19th century, and many of the young Americans study- ing in Paris became interested in the movement. Explains Impressionists Miss Abbot interrupted at this; moment to explain that an Impres- sionist is an artist who is not interest- ed in the story or sentiment of his theme. He does not care about they actual objects he represents but is interested in their color and the play of light and shadow over them. He tries to catch momentary effects or impressions. "It was under such influences that Robert Reid received his training,j and it was this new style that he and his fellow artists brought back to America in the 1880s," Miss Adams continued. In discussing the two panels by Reid in the Boston State House, the speaker mentioned one historical er- ror. Paul Revere was 40 years old when he made his famous ride, but the painter has represented him as a younger man. Otherwise Miss Ad- ams believes that the artist has caught both the look and spirit of the event. His fidelity to fact in both panels has perhaps led him somewhat astray for these pictures come too close to illustration to be completely successful as mural paintings. Use Of Movement Dangerous She explained further: "In the work of a skillful, well trained artist like Robert Reid, we may take such elements as carefully balanced com- position and accurate drawing for granted. However, the extensive use of movement or illusion of depth, even though beautifully represented, is dangerous in mural decorations. "A mural painting must be a pat- tern of lines, forms and colors, which decorates the wall it covers and harmonizes with the surrounding ar- chitectural elements. The essential quality of a wall is flatness, and a mural painting which denies this quality 'knocks a hole in the wall' as 1 artists say. That would be my crit- icism of these panels." In "Paul Revere's Ride," Miss Ad- ams feels that the horse and rider seem to dash out of the picture and behind the figures one sees the village street, houses, a church, and distant hills, all in proper realistic perspec- tive. The picture is not static enough, nor flat enough to be a truly good mural. More Than 200 Nurses Enroll For Institute- Coming from all over the state, more than 200 private duty nurses registered yesterday morning at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital for the two and one-half days' institute spon- sored by the private duty section of the Ann Arbor District Nurses asso- ciation, in session here and in Ypsi- lanti. The registration, according to Miss Irene Steffey, general chairman, is even better than anticipated. She be- lieves it indicates that the program of addresses by prominent physicians and surgeons, and demonstrations of new methods for treatment by new apparatus, is fulfilling a real need. At 9 a.m. today the opening session will begin in Couzens Hall with an address by Dr. Max M. Peet of the University faculty, speaking on "De- velopments in Neuro-Surgery," to be followed by demonstrations of abpar- atus. -Associated Press Photo. The Rt. Rev.
