WPA Increases Jobs
By 30,000 Per Week
WASHINGTON, June 4.-(P-()-The
Administration has started its lend.
ing-spending attack on the depres.
sion although Congress still has a
week's work to do on the $3,723,000,-
000 bill that will supply most of the
ammunition.
Officials disclosed today that the
WPA was using funds already or
hand to create additional work relie
jobs at the rate of approximately 30,-
000 a week.
If Congress finally approves the
$1,425,000,000 which the lending-
spending bill now carries for WPA
they said, they expect an average of1
2,800,000 persons to be given work re-
lief employment in the next sever
months. This could compare with
an enrollment of 2,679,656 on May 28
and an officially-expected winter
pea1t of 3,000,000 or more.
Most of the additional jobs pro-
vided since May 28, it was said, were
in large industrial communities where
the unemployment situation was
most acute.
Secretary' of Agriculture Henry A
Wallace also has taken steps to put
the 4dministration's relief program
into effect without waiting for Con-
gress to finish action on the big lend-
ing-spending bill.
' He directed the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation yesterday
.to canvass needs for food and cloth-
Sing among persons on relief.
This type of .relief will be tem-
porary, it was declared, and will be
concentrated in distressed commu-
nities typified recently by Chicago
aid Cleveland.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration already is receiving applica-
tions for long-term loans for business
and industry, and officials of the
Public Works Administration aie get-
ting ready to start new PWA projects

propriation Bill becomes law.

Botanical Specimens Goal
! Of Michigan Scientists
In PerilousExpedition
By STAN SWINTON
In the interests of science, two
Michigan faculty-women will this
summer attempt to traverse 650 tur-
bulent, rapids-filled miles of Colo-
rado River-a feat never before ac-
complished by a member of their sex.
Hemmed in by canyon walls which
at times will stretch a mile above
them, Dr. Elzada Clover, an instruc-
tor in 'the botany department, and
Miss Lois Jotter, Grad., an assistant
in the same department, will face
over 300 rapids and travel down wa-
ter which sometimes attains a speed
of 30 miles an hour. Their reward
will come in the form of botanical
specimens collected for the Univer-
sity.
Another Michigan member of te
party of seven will be Eugene Atkin-
son,. Grad., a botany department as-
sistant who will collect zoological spe-
cimens. Norman Nevills, of Mexican
Hat, Utah, will lead the' expedition
which also bears his name. Other
members are a newsreel cameraman,
a U.S. Geological Survey representa-
tive and a San Francisco artist.

'Styles In Acting' rought
Here For The First Time.
By Noted Impersonator
Dorothy Sands' one-woman show,
"Styles In Acting," will make its first
Ann Arbor appearance at 8 p.m. to-
day in the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre.
"Styles in Acting" is the enacted
story of the English and American'
theatre from the time of the Renais-
sance when women were first permit-
ted to appear on the stage down to
the present. Miss Sands demonstrates
how the great actresses of all time
have costumed and played their most
famous roles. She will show the
styles in costuming, theatres, audi-
ences and acting in the various
periods.
The program consists of "Milla-
mant" in "The Way of the World" by
William Congreve, "Almahilde" in
"The Conquest of Granada" by John
Dryden, "Madame Vestris" in the
song "Buy A Broom," "Nellie Hatha-
way" in "The Silver King" by Henry
Arthur Jones, "Candida" in "Candi-
da" by George Bernard Shaw, "Annie
Christie" as Pauline Lord would play
it, and the sleep walking scence of
Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's
"Macbeth" as it would be portrayed
by Haidee Wright, Ethel Barrymore
and Mae West.
The Mendelssohn box office will be
open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. today
to receive orders for tonight's per-
formance, which is a one night stand.
Tuesday night will see the opening
of the fourth play of the present sea-
son when Doris Dalton will open,
starring in Terrence Rattigan's mod-
ern comedy, "French Without Tears."
gically although it has been visited
by several geological expeditions.
Because earlier groups found heavy
boats more easily destroyed, the in-
trepid seven will embark at Green
River, Utah, in three 15-foot boats
especially constructed for the jour-
ney. These have five-foot water-
tight compartments at each end for
food, equipment and specimans. In
the center is a five-foot "cock-pit"
for passengers.
By early warnings, one-way radio
transmission will safe-guard the
group from swirling masses of flood
water which sometimes sweeps down
the canyons, boxing up and smash-
ing boats which may be in their path.
When rapids must be shot, the ex-
pedtion's craft will go stern first
with orasman rowing as hard as they
can against the current. Sterns are
especially designed to ride over rocks
and obstructions.
Whenever possible and necessary,
boats will be portaged or "lined"
around rapids. The latter is accom-
plished by attaching ropes to the
boats and "lowering" the craft from
shore. However, many of the worst
rapids can't be lined because of tow-
ering rock walls bordering the water.
8upplies will be replenished at Lee's
Ferry, Ariz., and at Bright Angel trail
in, theGrand Canyon.
The journey is being undertaken
because a pack trip originally plan-
ned by Dr. Clover was not possible
due to the lack of feed for pack ani-

City Suffers Sixth Air Raid
In Eight Days; Foreign
Protests Terined Futile
CANTON, June 4.-,4P)-Japanese
air raiders continued their heavy
bombings of this industrial city today
with two devastating attacks.;
Officials feared casualties would ex-
ceed .those of a week ago. when they
estimated 750 persons were killed and
1,350 wounded.
Today's raids marked the sixth day
of attacks on Canton in the last eight
days. Only on Wednesday and Thurs-
day were there respites.
(In Tokyo, Domei, Japanese News
Agency, said a "well-informed source"
-the usual designation for official
opinion-indicated British and Amer-
ican denunciations of air attacks on
civilians would not alter Japanese
tactics).
About 40 warplanes took part in the
first raid, appearing over the city
shortly after 10 a.m. and unloading
their expolsive cargoes for 35 minutes
before heavy clouds and rain ended
the attack.
Many persons were crushed be-
neath falling masonry when build-
ings were wrecked by three missiles
in Winghon Road, Canton's main
street. Saichuen, where electric
power and waterworks are situated,
also was bombed.-,
Hospitals were filled to overflow-
ing and doctors scarcely had time to
attend to one lot of wounded before
another arrived.
Sirens for the second raid sounded
while rescue work was in progress
for victims of the first. Thirty-five
planes swept over the city in the sec-
ond attack.

NEWARK, N.J., June 4.-(P)-So-
cialist Leader Norman Thomas was
showered with rotten egges and
howled down, tonight by 100 men,
most of them wearing veterans over-
seas caps, when he attempted to speak
at Military Park.
There were flurries of spectators'
fists and police nightsticks as friends
helped Thomas, his face smeared with
egg yolks, to a park bench.
A temporary stand erected for his
speech was splintered.
Others in the crowd of 500 Thom-
as sympathizers were hit with eggs.
As Thomas was introduced by Clara
Handelman, Essex County secretary
of the Socialist party, and stepped
forward to speak, shouting and flag-
waving veterans, accompanied by a
25-piece band, marched through the
Thomas crowd and a melee broke out.
Mounted policemen, patrolmen and
detectives helped Thomas supporters
form a protective circle around him.
The veterans marched a short dis-
tance away and then returned to the
ruins of the stand to listen to more
band music.
"We want Americanism-we don't
want Reds," the veterans shouted.
Standing on the bench, Thomas
raised his hand continually and
pleaded in vain to be allowed to
speak.
"I still. have my permit and I
would like to sayma few words," he
cried into the din.
More eggs and cucumbers were
thrown at him.
After a half hour, Deputy Police
Chief Phillip Sebold, one of those in
the circle guarding the former so-
cialist candidate f o r president,
jumped up beside him and an-
nounced: "On my advice this meet-
ing is disbanded."
Six mounted policemen surrounded
Thomas as he walked with friends to
socialist headquarters 400 yards
away.
A delegation of representatives of
a number of veterans organizations
sought in vain today to have a city
permit for the Thomas meeting re-
scinded on the ground it would "in-
cite riot and create bloodshed and
disorder."

than 50 countries. The purpose of
the movement is to develop mutual
understanding between the youth of
different races, different religions,
and different opinions in the further-
ance of world peace.
Study and discussion will be con-
ducted under four main commissions,
"The Political Organization for
Peace," "The Economic Organiza-
tion for Peace," "The Economic and

Local 'Clairvoyants' Experiment
With Extra-Sensory Card Tests
By ELIZABETH LUCKHAM
International interest aroused in
scientific circles by the work of Dr.
J. B. Rhine in extra-sensory percep-
tion is having its local manifestationsI
in tests conducted by Dr. Thomas
Greville of the mathematics depart-
ment and a group of interested per-
sons in the Parapsychology Club.
Experiments attempted here fol-
low the plan laid by Dr. Rhine, pi-
oneer in this phase of psychological
work, and are progressing satisfac-
torily, Dr. Greville reported yester-
day.
The primary motivation for the
work started by Dr. Rhine and be-
ing continued here is to find some'
reasonably accurate test for deter-
mining whether thoughts can be
transmitted by means other than the
recognized senses. Previous to Dr.
Rhine's experiements there had been
which bear one of five simple sym-
bols, is used for the tests. The sub-
ject attempts to guess the order in
which the cards appear in the deck,
and this procedure is repeated many
times before the test is considered
complete and accurate. If a person
attains a sufficiently high average
on a large number of decks it is con-
sidered highly probable that he pos-
sesses the telepathic quality.
The work in Ann Arbor, Dr. Gre-
ville explained, consists of conducting
these card tests in an effort to find
people exhibiting the telepathic fac-
ulty. The persons participating in
the work here are eager to have any
interested members of the faculty,
student body and townspeople take
the preliminary tests.
The work of the recently-formed
Parasychology Club is to promote in-

When War Is Finished
GIBRALTAR, June 4.---)-Re-
ports of bitterness against Italian
and German influence in Insurgent
Spain were brought to Gibraltar to-
night by visitors from Insurgent ter-
ritory.
The unrest was said to have de-
veloped over fears of Insurgent of-
ficers that Italians and Germans in-
tended to maintain a military hold
on the country when the civil war
ends.
Insurgent officers arriving here to
buy medical stores for Seville hos-

"The dictatorial manner, of the
