THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, MA Baker Explaifis News Writing Tells For Students Of Need Precise Reporting Accurate and well-documented re- porting is the prime requisite for the reporter of scientific news, R. Ray Baker, associate editor of the Ann Ar- bor News, informed students yester- day afternoon at a meeting sponsred by the school of journalism in Haven Hall. He declared it was a "crime to write science in a haphazard man- ner." The interest of the average news- paper reader in the experiments of science, in the opinion of Mr. Baker, -has created a need for a ispecialized reporter. The scientific reporter has become a medium between the lay public and the scientist, he added. The writer must interpret the tech- nical phrases of the scientist Into simple intelligible language, said Mr. Baker, a special writer for the- Booth newspaper chain. He described his technique for the compiling, and in- terpreting of scientific news. He stressed the need for extreme care in preparation of material which he al- ways asks the scientist to check be- fore pnblication. He suggested the use of analogy and metaphors as use- ful language tools to make clear the meaning. Contract Violations Contributing Cause of iHearst Strike (Continued fromh Page 1) labor groups, farmers and workmen, and the growth of racial hatred all result from this economic problem, he stated. A labor movement powerful enough to secure increased production and thus alleviate 'cut-throat com- petition for lobs, he concluded, would automatically lessen these other con- flicts. Tracing the history of the news- paper union which began in 1933 Weeks showed the gradual identifica- tion of newspaper workers with the1 cause of organized labor in all fields. The Guild, at first an independent or- ganization, became affiliated with the AFL and later -with the CIO. The group has grown in strength and now has a membership of approximately 18,000. The CIO is the largest organized group working for progressivism in the country, he concluded. In addition to concerning itself with the problems directly concerning labor such :as sanctity of contract, maintainance of a stable wage scale, prevention of lay- offs and defense of the Wagner La- bor Relations act, it is also active in promoting the cause of civil liberties1 and public health and lobbying for increased relief appropriations, he stated. Soprano To Be Featured Artist On ProgramOfMay Festival Classified Directory "An American beauty, both as re- gards person and vocal endowment. She has skyrocketed to fame in grand opera, in the concert field, over the radio, and in sound films." This is the way a recent music critic spoke of Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano, who makes her first vocal appearance this year as one of the featured artists on the May Fes- tival program. Miss Swarthout, who is as noted for her beauty as well as her voice, and who was also recently selected one of America's best-dressed wo- men, has been a featured star of the Metropolitan Opera Company for the past eight seasons. Among her major roles have been: "Mignon," Niejata in "Sadko," Guilietta in "The Tales of Hoffman," Adalgisa in "Nor- ma," Preziosilla in "Forza del Des- tino," Mrs, Dean in "Peter Ibbet- son," Pierrotto in "Linda di Cha- mounix," and La Cieca in "La Gio- conda." She has also met with outstanding success in concert solo work and each season fills as many recital engage- ments as her other activities will permit. Motion pictures too have recognized this gifted artist's many abilities and, in 'the past four years, she has starred in four Paramount sound films, "Rose of the Rancho," "Give Us This Night," "Champagne Waltz," and "Romance in the Dark." Miss Swarthout has been the star of several radio programs and has appeared as guest star on innumer- able others. Professor Dickinson Stresses Problems Of Minimum Wages (Continued from Page 1) out. "The woolen and worsted indus- try is still localized chiefly in north- ern states, but its members are appre- hensive of further migration South- ward, partly by means of increasing woolen and worsted operations in southern cotton mills. Only about 5 per cent of the workers in the wool- en and worsted industry proper re- ceive less than 35 cents an hour, but nearly 50 per cent of the wage earn- ers in the cotton goods industry make earnings below the 35-cent mark. "It remains to be seen," Professor Dickinson added, "what minimum wage or wages will be established in the cotton mills but presumably will be lower 4han 36-cents; and if the latter rate is applied to the woolen and worsted industry, then regulations will have to be worked out with reference to 'mixtures of fibres. "The manufacturer members of the committee, however, thought that if the minimum wages were only a few cents different in the two lead- ing textile industries, there would be few difficulties by reason of blended fabrics," Professor "Dickinson said.

Cites Changing, Land Policies The shift of a great part of the population of the Nation to urban centers has created a need for edu- cation and training so that we may formulate a new national economy. to deal more effectively with modern land problems, Prof. Charles C. Colby 'of the University of Chicago said in a University Lecturetyesterday in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Professor Colby, geographical ad- viser to the Tennessee Valley Auth- ority, traced the histories of land policies in this country sfrom the times of the pioneers when it was first decided to carry on a policy of individual ownership. In the course of years, he pointed out, land ac- quisition, the South's land use sys- tem for cotton crops and the settle- ment of the West each took their turn. After the World War, speculation in land was rife, he said, and conse- quently land values were forced up too high. The farmer, even in the years just prior to 1929, was not prosperous. Professor Colby described the efforts, in part, of the TVA to better the land conditions that have presented themselves. With the help of greater integra- tion, he concluded, we -shall be able to perfect a better econQny to deal with land conditions in accordance with the best traditions and ideals of our country. be established for cotton goods of 32% cents per hour, the wage struc- ture in cotton goods would be more profgundly affected than vwould the woolen and worsted industry by a{ 36-cent minimum; moreover, the lat- ter industry would be less apprehen- sive than at present of competition from cotton mills with reference to+ woolen fibres."
