PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, DECEM 3ER G, 1935 PAGE SIX FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935 Wild Spending1 Is Condemned By Fitzoerald Tells Manufacturers That Michi ,n Will Not Go Over State Budget t Saves Accused Husband From Kidnap Charge Fears Future I)ebt Business Must Lead Way To Prosperity; Spending Is Futile DETROIT, Dec. 5.-(AP)-Michigan will not follow the example of the New Deal as a "fairyland blowing billion dollar bubbles," Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald told the Detroit As- sociation of Manufacturers' repre- sentatives, a food products organi- zation in an address here last night. "I shrink from thinking about the increase in taxation that will be necessary to pay off the debt now being piled up," the governor said. "You could confiscate all the large fortunes in the country and still be a long way from the debt free level. Cites Balanced Budget "Here in Michigan, however, we believe the state has no right to saddle its people with new debts, that it must get along on its income. Michigan has a balanced budget. Michigan is not adding a single penny to her public debt, and she will not, under this administration." He complained that Michigan has nothing to say about how the money it contributes to the Federal govern- ment is spent and that the state pays many more millions into the federal treasury than it receives. The gov- ernor declared Michigan has been unable to gt funds from Washington for much needed hospital facilities or money to care for crippled and in- digent children. Scores Governmental 'Experts' "But then," he continued, "we are old fashioned. The experts can't ap- preciate our simple demands. They work in a world of their own, on a higher plane I presume, and produce funds for Michigan to build rearing ponds for fish. "If I speak with' some bitterness it is because I cannot help protest- ing the extravagance, the short- sightedness, the wasted opportunity to be of service to unfortunates who have every right to look for help." The governor declared that bus- iness must lead the way back to prosperity under its own power and that governmental efforts to "spend the nation back to prosperity" must stop. Attacks National Spending "The bubbles have been pretty enough-all lighted up in bright hues. They have offered many suf- fering people the hope of a new life in an enchanted land. In our national spending we have talked of money in terms so large a mere bil- lion doesnt mean anything any more. "I wonder if that sense of propor- tion still will be lacking on the day when the billion dollar bubbles burst, and the rubber band of national credit snaps--when government, at the end of its spending spree, turns wearily to the people and says "it is time for you to foot the bill.'" Andrews Worse Declares Doctor The condition of Ross Andrews, 69 years ,old, a resident of the County Home, was described as worse late yesterday by Dr. C. L. Washburne, staff surgeon of St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital. His injuries are so severe that he is not expected to live through the week. Andrews was hurt Tuesday when he was hit by a skidding car, driven by Mrs. Marian L. Whitmire of Yp- silanti, as he was walking across Washtenaw Road, directly in front of the County Home. Dr. Washburne stated that An- drews' injuries consist of a crushed right chest, a ruptured lung and fractures of the collar bone and right arm. In addition he is suffering from pneumonia brought on by exposure and the injured lung. IONIA FINANCES POOR IONIA, Dec. 5.-(P)-City officials said today that the city's present financial status will make it impos- sible to meet the December payroll if bills for current operating expenses are met. -Associated Press Photo After hearing 14-year-old Dorothy Bradley Roman testify she loved her husband and wanted him back, a jury in Lewisburg, W. Va., hearing the trial of William Roman, 33, itinerant worker, on kidnap charges preferred by the girl's parents, disagreed.

Wood Urges Cure For Critical Prison Unemployment Situation Hell Week Is F0wghit BY Men At Conference Bursley Says Group Seeks Abolition Of Practice By Fraternities "Hell Week," the subject of con- troversy on many college campuses last year, assumed proportions of importance at the National Inter- fraternity Conference held last week in New York City, it was reported by Dean Joseph A. Bursley upon his re- turn from the conference yesterday. In contrast to the insistence of many fraternity men on other cam- puses that their national organiza- tions required a "Hell Week," the national organizations stood almost unanimously against the practice and urged its abolition, he said. A resolution that all national or- ganizations prepare a written state- ment on their attitude toward "Hell Week," to be published in booklet form and sent to deans of all col- leges was passed. Work on this pub- lication has already commenced, Dean Bursley said. Dean Bursley was elected a mem- ber of the Educational Advisory Council, a standing committee con- sisting of five college deans who rule on all proposals and business of the organization throughout the year. Other members of the council are Dean Gardner of Akron, charman; Dean Speight of Swarthmore; Dean Turner of Illinois; and Dean Arm- strong of Northwestern. Archery Gets The Bird For Primeval Forestry Student Bows and arrows, as a means of procuring game, are not yet out- moded. Although it is true that ar- chery has degenerated to some ex- tent to shooting at a circular target, the real fans are those who hunt wild animals. One of the most difficult animals to bring down this way is a bird, and so archers were surprised to hear that Horace Nixon, a senior in the forestry school, succeeded in bring- ing back a cock pheasant with him during hunting season. Nixon, who lives in the Les Voy- ageurs cabin, which is located near the Huron River, was passing through the woods near his home during hunting season when he caught sight of a large pheasant. The bird, be- coming alarmed, sought safety in the bushes and foliage nearby. The archer, after winging three arrows at the fleeing bird without hitting it, saw the bird entering the pro- tective bushes and sent one more arrow after it. Not being able to see whether or not he had succeeded in wounding the bird, he ran to the spot where the bird had vanished. Pinned to a fence post, the bird had died without a cry. The arrow had passed through the upper thigh, buried itself up to its feathers, and had impedded itself into a fence-post. Nixon is intending to travel north in search of bigger game, hoping to bring down a deer sometime with his fifty-pound bow. i _.,._... 3 I At Rotterdam Suggests State Buy Many Supplies From Michigan Penal Institution By BERNARD WEISSMAN Legislation compelling all state de- partments and institutions to pur- chase as much of their supplies from the three penal institutions of Mich- igan as those institutions can pro- vide was urged yesterday by Prof. Arthur E. Wood of the sociology de- partment as a cure for the critical prison unemployment situation creat- ed by the Munshaw Prison Industries Act. The Munshaw Act, popularly known as a "state use" law, provides that prisoners shall not manufac- ture any products except for the use of the state government. It went into effect November 22. Professor Wood criticized the lack of foresight of the legislature in pass- ing the law before adequate plans had been made to cope with prison unemployment, which was already a serious problem, amounting in Jack- son Prison, the largest in the world, to 40 per cent of the inmates. He declared that "economic plan- ning" in the form of a careful sur- vey of prison industries by industrial engineers should have preceded the legislation. Lacking such a survey, he said, the state is not prepared to. meet the results of the "state use" law. Statistics recently given by prison officials at Lansing show that the number of prisoners employed in the three prisons dropped from 1,835 before the new law went into effect to 1,030 at present, while the number. of unemployed went up from 1,011 to 2,018. Prison authorities originally in- tended to take up some of the slack in employment by the introduction of five new industries in the prisons, and bids for the installation of equipment were asked. It was decided later, however, that the number of inmates who would be employed by the new industries did not justify the outlay. Professor Wood explained that un- rest among the prisoners is bound to increase as a result both of the greater amount of idle time, and be- cause of the loss of all compensa- tion whatsoever by the unemployed prisoners. He said, though, that the "state use" law is a step in the right di- rection, if it is combined with reme- dial measures that would avoid the prison unemployment problem. He pointed out that Massachusetts has already passed legislation requiring state departments to buy as much as is available from state penal insti- tutions, and said that such a step was the best- way out of Michigan's difficulties. The chief industries formerly car- ried on in prisons which were at- tacked as offering unfair competition to private enterprises, and which have now been discontinued, were clothing and furniture manufactur- ing. Language (classes Begn For Adults The extension service of the Ann Arbor Public Schools yesterday an- nounced plans for organizing adult classes in beginning and advanced English and French. A registration fee of four dollars will be charged because there are no funds available at the present to pay the teachers, it was stated. A class in elementary English and citizenship, designed principally for foreign-born adults, will hold its first meeting Monday night and every Monday thereafter. The business English class will meet every Wednes- day night, and the French classes will meet every Tuesday and Thursday night. All classes will be held from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in the Ann Arbor High School. A course in sewing has recently been organized under the recreation project of the High School and will be offered free every Wednesday and Thursday night.
