TIlE MUIITI~AN flATLY WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, AAA Announces New Four-Year Cotton Ruling Observers See Program As Attempt For Permanent Control Of Crops WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. - (o) - The AAA's determination to push for longtime control of major crops de- spite pending controversy over the farm act's constitutionality was emphasized today by publication of a new, four-year cotton program. It aims at production of 11,000,000 to 12,000,000 bales in 1936. The AAA now has, in rapid suc- cession, launched four-year control programs for wheat, tobacco, rye and cotton. A two-year contract has been prepared for corn-hog producers. Officials predicted some method of continuing crop control would be found, regardless of the supreme court's ruling on the Agricultural Ad- justment act. The cotton contract provides for a reduction in "base" acreage from 45,500,000 to 44,500,000 acres. Contract signers will reduce ac- reage 30 to 45 per cent, for 1936, compared to 25 to 35 per cent for 1935 and 35 to 45 per cent for 1934. One benefit payment will be made at the rate of five cents a pound (ap- proximately $8.60 an acre). Three payments were provided in the 1935 contract on two bases, totaling 4 3/4 cents a pound. Changes will be made in division of benefit payments between landlords. and tenants, allowing some tenants more money. The person furnishing the land will receive 37%2 per cent; the provider of work stock and equip- ment, 12/2 per cent, and the remain- ing 50 per cent will be divided in the proportion that the cotton or its' proceeds are divided. AAA Administrator Chester C. Davis expressed belief the emergency which resulted in the 1933 plow-up has passed. AAA Not Legal, Cotton Industry Claims In Brief WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. - (') - Charges that the Agricultural Ad- justment Act is unconstitutional, nul- lifies the division of power between state and nation, and extends al-. most unlimited Federal power over local affairs were contained in a brief filed today :n the Supreme Court by the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers. The association acted as a friend of the court, filing its analysis of the AAA with the Supreme Court in the Hoosac Mills case, in which the circuit court at Boston had ruled the processing taxes invalid. Oral arguments are scheduled for Dec. 9. Summarizing, the brief asked: "Is it too much to say that the issue in this case involves the fundamental right of the states to control their internal . affairs, and the question whether or not the Constitution gives Congress power virtually to destroy this authority?" The greatest part of the 225-page brief discusses the "general welfare clause" of the Constitution, under which the government asserts it has power to carry out the AAA. The brief contends the processing taxes invalid on four counts. Refrigerator Expert To Address A.S.M.E.

Hospital officials said the aged archaeologist succumbed to a "hemlytic streptoccic infec- tion." Isle Royalar Subject Of Tall By Wlhittemore Landscape Expert Speaks Over WJR On History Of Famous Island "Isle Royale as a National Park" was described in a speech given by Prof. H. O. Whittemore of the land- scape design department, Director of the Nichols Arboretum, yesterday over the University Broadcast. Discussing first the history of the island, Professor Whittemore de- scribed how in 1669 it was explored by French voyageurs, and how it pos- sibly was included on the American side of the international boundary at the insistence of Benjamin Franklin. The Ojibway Indians ceded their rights to Isle Royale as a hunting and fishing ground, and the island was bought by an English company for mining operations, he pointed out. Mining By 'Fire' Mining in those days, Professor Whittemore declared, consisted of building "large fires on the rocks un- til they were almost red hot, and then cold water was dashed on to crack and break them. The pure native copper was then chipped free by stone hammers and in turn ham- mered into simple metal implements and weapons." "With the exception of a few fish- ermen and others," Professor Whitte- more added, "the island now went back to the primitive." Natural scientists, however, began to take notice of it, and it began to be studied. in 1904 and 1905 the University of Michigan Museum expeditions under the direction of Dr. Charles C. Adams and others made a careful and sys- tematic study of the plant and animal life and the natural habitats. Hoover Signs Bill On March 4, 1931, President Hoov- er signed the bill creating the Isle Royale National Park, on the con- dition that the lands needed were to be secured and donated to the Na- tional Government, Professor Whitte- more explained. Since most of the land was in the hands of timber and mining companies, it was necessary Ithat the United States government break a longstanding tradition when $750,000 was appropriated to bu land, in order to pre vent despoliation of the island for pulpwood, he said. The establishment of the Isle Roy- ale National Park will develop the gateway cities at three points, Pro- .essor Whittemore decared. Because roads will not be built there, how- ever, it is expected that the atten- dance at Isle Royale will not be a Imuch as at other parks, he added. New Pipe Line Approved For Lansing Area Administrative Board Must Approve Act Of Utilities Commission LANSING, Nov. 3. - ( P) - The state public utilities commission agreed today to authorize the con- struction by the Consumers Power Co. of a $500,000 pipe line to serve: Lansing and 26 surrounding com- munities with natural gas. The commission's decision is sub- ject to the approval of the state ad- ministrative board, which will con- sider the matter in a special meeting Wednesday.j If accepted by the board the proj- ect will be the first major extension of the state's natural gas resources to the central and southern part of Michigan. To Request Survey The commission also agreed to re- quest the federal bureau of mines to conduct a survey to determine wheth- er reserves warrant the extension of pipe lines to other cities. It was esti- mated the survey will.-take from one to four months. The action of the commission fol- lowed an informal conference with Gov. Fitzgerald and members of the administrative board. The governor said he is opopsed to delay in the matter of bringing na- tural gas to Michigan cities. "The commission is assured of enough natural gas to supply the Lansing area for from 10 to 12 years," the governor said. "Construction of the pipe line will provide work for a number of men; it will give gas pro- ducers an immediate outlet for their product and will provide lower rates for the consuming public in the affec- ted area. With this assured start, a federal survey then can be pushed to determine what other pipe lines can be constructed." Large Supply Assured Chairman William M. Smith of the commission said there are assured, reserves of 20,000,000,000 to 25,000,- 000,000 cubic feet of natural gas in the Millbrook field fromswhich the pipe line will draws it supply. He said it will supplement the Bloomfield field, from which the Consumers Power Co. takes gas for Saginaw valley communities. The franchise to be granted the company will not be exclusive insofar as withdrawing gas from the Mill- brook field is concerned, although members of the commission said the Consumers Power Co. has approxi- mately half the gas in that field under contract.

Ruth i i i Griffin Calls Attention Tot Indian Collection Long Unnoticed By WILLIAM SPALLER A valuable collection of Indian relics of the Hopewell culture that had lain for years almost unnoticed1 in the Kent Scientific Museum att Grand Rapids was virtually redis- covered recently by James B. Grif- fin, fellow in aboriginal North Amer- ican ceramics of the Museum of An- thropology of the University. Griffin came across the collectionj when he went to Grand Rapids to take photographs of the pottery col- lection there. Instead of the ordi- nary relics which he expected to see, he found that the collection repre- sented the best group of Michiganj Hopewell that is known to exist. Are Unique Specimens "The objects comprise an unusual and in some ways perhaps unique ag- gregation of Indian ornaments, tools, pottery, and other specimens," he said. "The group includes the best and most valued examples of artisan- ship of the long-extinct and little-' understood Hopewell culture, a civil- ization which is believed to have flourished in mid-western states about 800 years ago." The collection, uncovered between 1870and 1890, has been in the pos- session of the Kent Scientific Mu- seum for more than 50 years, but its value was not recognized until Grif- fin inspected the findings and learned that they surpassed in archeological significance any similar collections in the state and possibly in the country. Collection Is Varied The collection includes pottery, platform pipes, copper, axes and awls, Gulf-Coast shells, cut bear jaws used as ornaments, perforated bear teeth also used as ornaments, deer leg bones that were split and used for awls, and flint work. They are in excellent condition and in larger quantity than other collections. "The relics are of great scientific value because it is definitely known where they are from," Griffin said. "Part of the work of the ceramic de- pository of the university is to try to solve pre-white man history in Michigan and the surrounding ter- ritory." Hopewell Farm Is In Ohio "Evidence that certain semi-no- madic tribes had attained a well-de- fined state of advancement was first discovered on the Hopewell farm in Ross County, Ohio, in the 1890's" Griffin stated. Numerous Indian relics were found there which were identified as an archaeological cul- ture and exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. Other findings in a more or less useful state of preservation had come to light occasionally previous to that in Ross County, Griffin said, but not in sufficient quantity to assume a civilization. The relics in the Kent Museum were an exception, however, and that they were not identified sooner in their relation to the Hope- well culture was due partly to the fact that they were "too well pre- served."
