The control men were at their posts awaiting the little white light to tell them all was ready, and the WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. - (/) - The New Deal's substitute for AAA- a two-year, half-billion dollar stop- gap plan built on soil conservation- was started today on its congressional journey. The measure was made public simultaneously by Chairman Jones (Dem. Tex.) of the house agriculture committee and Senator Bankhead (Dem.-Ala). Shortly afterward it was dropped in the bill hopper. The projected $500,000,000 appro- priation was not included. It will be offered as a separate bill and an ef- fort made in the senate to tack it on to the independent offices supply bill. Amends 1935 Act The new farm bill amends the Soil Conservation act of April 27, 1935 and adds to its anti-erosion policies: Preservation and improvement of soil fertility. Promotion of the economic use of land. Diminution of exploitation and un- profitable use of national soil re- sources. Provision for andsmaintanance of a continuous and stable supply of agricultural commodities adequate to meet domestic and foreign consumer requirements at prices fair to both producers and consumers. Reestablishment and maintenance of farm purchasing power. Payments Authorized The secretary of agriculture is authorized to "make payments or grant other aid" to agricultural pro- ducers based upon: "1-Their acreage of soil-improv- ing or, erosion-preventing crops. "2-Their acreage of crop land. "3-Changes in the use of their land. "4-A percentage of their normal production of any one or more agri- cultural commodities designated by the secretary which equals that per- centage of the normal national pro- duction of such commodities required for domestic consumption." This section resembled the so called domestic allotment plan. A definite bar was inserted in the bill against contracts "binding upon producers to acquire land or rights or interests therein. No Danger Of Conflict Seen By Miss Thompson (Continued from Page 1) was 83 pfennigs per hour in 1933, in 1935 had dropped to 78.4 pfennigs, while taxes had risen from 15 or 16 per cent to 25 or 26 per cent of the payroll. Where the Nazi government claims that three million have been reem- ployed since its accession to power, Miss Thompson pointed out that this had been achieved by the following methods: 500,000 added to the army; 300,000 women returned to their homes without increase in the earn- ing'power of male relatives; 150,000 political prisoners placed in concen- tration camps; 70,000 forced out of the country; and unknown thousands now in work camps and on road gangs, unpaid. Thus, well over 1,000,000 of the re- employed are accounted for, with cor- responding decrease in hourly wages,c and in average hours per day from eight to six and a half. Most of the remainder, Miss Thompson main- tained, have been absorbed by the heavy rearmament industry.r The monarchial restoration of thet Hapsburgs in Austria, she said, is con- trolled by three influences, Germany, Italy, and the Little Entente. Of1 these, only Italy favors the restora- tion, and Germany, she holds, would oppose it almost to the point of war.z In the English situation, Miss Thompson saw Great Britain once more clinging to the League and its system of the collective security ast the only hope for the empire's life.t Great Britain has brought about a change in the guiding League policy from status quo to the Kellogg-BriandI pact, and will attempt to bring Ger- many back into the League withoutf mentioning rearmament, she said. t "There is a strong probability that the League may restore Memel to Ger-c many in the next ten months," shec added.

First Error In Dickens Movie Discovered At Showing Here Reuter's News Agency Not Founded Until 65 Years After Scene In Picture By CLINTON B. CONGER Eighteen months of preparation, eight months of research on tech- nical detail, and the labor of 5,000 employes in three nations went into the production of "A Tale of Two Cities," Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's fea- ture picture now showing at the Ma- jestic Theatre in Ann Arbor, but not until the picture came to Ann Arbor, according to previous releases of the publicity department, were any tech- nical discrepancies discovered in the film. Upon showing of the film here, however, two anachronisms were not- ed in the reproduction of a newspaper purporting to be an issue of a Lon- don publication of about 1785, which is shown in the picture above, to date the only technical errors observed. M-G-M officials expect more com- ment when the picture reaches Eur- ope. Reuters' Not FoundedI The most noticeable of the two anachronisms is the partial dispatch at the bottom beginning "Advices by Reuters." What follows is evidently supposed to be a story from Reuter's News Agency, which was founded by Paul Julius, later Baron de Reuter, born in 1821, nearly 40 years after the supposed date of the article. Information on the establishment of the News Agency is given by the Encyclopedia Britannica, which traces it to 1851, just after the Dover- Calais submarine cable had been laid, when Reuter opened a bureau for the transmission of information between England and the continent. Not until 1858, however, did his ef- forts to get his cable dispatches into print have success, when The Times; published the report of an important New Council Announced BY Prof._Bunting Announcement of the organization of a student council in the -dental school was made yesterday by Prof. Russell W. Bunting of the School of Dentistry. The council is composed of two representatives from each of the four dental fraternities, two independent members from each of the four classes, and the chairman and sec- retary of the Executive Committee of the Faculty. This organization is to function as a student council to help in the formation of student activities. In addition, Professor Bunting stated, it affords a direct relationship with the faculty through the representa- tive members who will sit in the council, It is planned, according to Professor Bunting, that in this manner expres- sions of student opinion may be freely and readily communicated to the faculty, and conversely, faculty plans for student welfare may be more clearly represented to the various classes through their representatives on the council. speech by Napoleon III which had been forwarded by Reuter's Paris agent. The agency flourished from that time until the death of Baron Reuter in 1$99, and since then has grown to be one of the greatest news syndi- cates of the world. Letter "S" Incorrect The second and more disputable point is the printed lower case "s," which up to the time of the revolu- tion at least was found as long "s," resembling an "f" without the cross- bar, wherever the letter is doubled, and usually whenever the single "s" does not end a word. Witness the familiar "in Congreff affembled" of contemporary American documents. Of six contemporary documents ex- amined in the William Clements Li- brary here, five of them used the long "s," only one omitting it entirely from the body type. Included in this list of six were three English per- iodical publications of 1789, the "Lon- don Gazette," "Gentleman's Maga- zine," and "Publick Acts," and all three showed the older character. Yet against this the opposition can offer considerable evidence: authori- ties in the office of the Early Modern English Dictionary here maintain that the long "s" had almost disap- peared from printing at the close of the 18th century. Long "S" Disappeared Furthermore "Printing Types," by Daniel B. Updike, generally accepted authority on the history, forms, and use of type, has this to say: "The aboltion of the long 's,' it is popularly thought, we owe to the London pub- lisher John Bell, who in his British Theatre, issued about 1775, discarded it." To this argument, however, the4 answer can be made that a sample type of book for 1763 of William Cas- Ion, font-designer who originated the Caslon Oldstyle in which the item is printed, printed the long "s" where- ever old usage required it. A final comment, open to still fur- ther argument, concerns the time re- lation of the news items. According to the story, Darnay's trial did not occur until at least 1785, yet the three lines of the preceding item would seem to indicate by "remain" that the American Revolution was still in progress, consequently placing the news before 1783.

"It doesn't seem likely that Mich- igan will obtain any more money for public works projects," said O'Hara, "unless Congress makes additional appropriations for PWA at this ses- sion, or initiates a permanent public works program." Over a period of two years Mich- igan piled up $33,000,000 worth of H s public works projects in the PWA of- fice, but Assistant PWA Administra- tor Col. Horatio B. Hackett informed the Michigan representatives yester- day that no more funds were avail-Can able for the state. O'Hara said Michigan was partic- ularly interested in getting PWA grants for a tuberculosis hospital at Gaylord and an addition to the Ypsi- lanti State hospital. Favorable con- sideration for these projects was the only consolation the state obtained from Col. Hackett. Meanwhile, George A. Schroeder of Detroit, Democratic speaker of the Michigan house, was back in Wash- ington to obtain a draft of model state social security legislation from Thomas Eliot, general counsel of the National social security board.
