Explorer Smith
Will Give Final
Oratorical Talk
Nicol Smith, heir to an oil for-
tune who became a camera-toting
explorer, will tell of his adventures
on the Island of Hainan off China's
coast in the final lecture of the
University's Oratorical Series Thurs-
day, March 21, in Hill Auditorium.
Hainan was recently captured by
the Japanese and is now being for-
tified as a military and naval base.
Because it breaks Britain's defense
line between Singapore and Hong
Kong, Hainan is regarded as of great
strategic importance.
Mr. Smith, one of the few white
*nen to penetrate the island's interior,
will show more than 3,000 feet of
fiim, the first photographic recoilu
of its native tribes.
An adventurer since 17, Nicol
Smith has paddled the length of the
Danube in a canoe, visited the cele-
brated Kalabacca monastery in
Macedonia and lived in the French
P-1n1a'. coli on Devil's Island.

Wright Speaks
On Educational
Crises Today
President Walter L. Wright of Rob-
ert College, Istanbul, Turkey, will
visit the University tomorrow and
Sunday under the auspices of the
Near Eastern College Association,
Prof. J. Raleign Nelson, director of
the International Center and coun-
selor to foreign students, announced
yesterday.
President Wright, who last visited
here in 1937, will confer with stu-
dents in the University who are
graduates of the Istanbul school. He
will be accompanied here by Dr.
Stephen Penrose, assistant director
of the Association which includes,
beside Robert College, American Uni-
versity at Beirut, Syria; Athens Col-
lege; and the American College at
Sofia, Bulgaria.
Noted for his work in harmonizing
schools with the governmental sys-
tems of the Near East, President
Wright will speak on "International
Education in a Time of World Cri-
sis" at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Inter-
national Center's regular program.
To be featured on the Interna-
tional Center's program tomorrow is
the second conference on interna-
tional education to be held from 2
to 4 p.m. in the Center's lounge.
General theme of the discussion
will be the bearing of the world cri-
sis on educational trends in many of
the countries of the world. The pro-
gram will include also talks on ed-
cational problems, community ser-
vice and national and international
problems. The conference will be at-
tended by students and faculty mem-
bers who have, attended universities
and colleges in foreign countries.
Exhibit Shows

Design Plans
Landscape Constructions
On Exhibition At Meet
Of MichiganAcademy
An exhibit of landscape designs
sponsored by the College of Archi-
tecture and Design opens today in
the third floor exhibition room of
the Architecture Building, and will
be open daily except Sunday until'
next Friday.
Held in connection with the meet-
ing the the Michigan Academy of
Science, Arts, and Letters, the exhi-
bit features plans and photographs
of gardens, home grounds, housing
projects, roadside developments, and
general city planning. The plans
represent actual constructions by
landscape offices in the United
States and Hawaii, and by Federal
agencies.
Plans showing the design and
treatment of the proposed Interna-
tional Peace Gardens to be built
between the United States and Can-
ada are featured in the exhibit. This
park will be constructed, to com-
memorate the friendship of the two
countries, on the border between
North Dakota and Manitoba on Tur-
tle Mountain, the geographical cen-
ter of the North American conti-
nent. The planned Panama Canal-
to-Canada Highway will also run
through that region.
Photographs by E. H. "Chinese"
Wilson, botanist of Harvard Uni-
versity who opened up China and
Japan to naturalists, student models
for city gardens and student draw-
ings of plants will be shown in the
landscape seminar room in connec-
tion with the other exhibit, which,
according to Prof. G. G. Ross, "indi-
cates the present trend of landscape
architecture from private to public
works."
Students Favor Dies
Probes, Poll Shows
That the majority of the students
in some of the leading colleges in
the United States believe the Dies
Committee for investigating un-
American activities should be con-
tinued was shown in the poll taken by
the Student Opinion Surveys of
America shortly before Congress con-
vened again.
Although 56 per cent of the stu-
dents questioned signified their ap-
proval of the continuation of money
appropriations to the Committee,
complete approval of all the legis-
lator from Texas and his committee-
men have done was not signified.
Many of the interviewed students
voiced their dissatisfaction with the
methods and results of the ceinmit-
tee.
Seventeen per cent of the students
who had no opinion, admitted that
they had never heard of the co-m-

Medical TalKs
Begrin In April
Doctors Throughout State
Are To Participate
The spring series of extramural
postgraduate lectures for practition-
ers, sponsored by the Department of
Postgraduaute Medicine and the
Michigan State Medical Society, will
begin the second week in April and
will continue through the first week
in May. The lectures will be given
in Ann Arbor, Battle Sreek, Kalama-
zoo, Flint, Grand Rapids, Lansing,
Jackson, Mt. Clemens, Saginaw, Tra-
verse City, Manistee, Cadillac and
Petoskey.
The doctors will also deliver the
lectures in the other cities through-
out the state and in addition to other
men from the University medical
school, practitioners from other ci-
ties will participate in these lectures.
The Postgraduate course in Ap-
plied Anatomy, under the direction
of Dr. Rollo E. McCotter, which strat-
ed Feb. 15, is being given each Thurs-
day through May 30.
Isaacs Denies Existence'
Of Any 'Jewish Type'
Debunking the belief that a Jewish
type exists, Dr. Raphael Isaacs, as-
sistant director of the Simpson Me-
morial Institute, asserted last night
at the Hillel Foundation that there
is a tendency for any groups residing
together to resemble each other in
course of time, regardless of inter-
marriage.
Much of the so-called Jewish type
is a matter of personality, he con-
cluded, and has nothing to do with
physical make-up.

and social security. There are Amer-
ica's real needs, and the campaign
for them should not be made merely
by Socialists, Thomas pointed out.
But before we can think of a truly
Farmer-Labor party that will be
able to win political importance,
there must be more democracy in
the organized labor movement,
Thomas stressed. The majority in
organized labor still supports Roose-
velt, although John L. Lewis has
bitterly attacked the President. Mr.
Thomas said he agreed with much
of Lewis' criticism, but added that
the feud between the Labor leader
and the President lay in their per-
sonalities. Mr. Lewis was never the
driving force behind the old New
Deal and his present criticism of New
Deal retrenchment is of a negative
character. The CIO legislative pro-
gram is a construction measure, but
Mr. Lewis has not vigorously pushed
it, Thomas declared.
America must remain out of war,
Thomas continued strongly, or she
will lose her own democracy. The
real fight is on the domestic front.
President Rooseveit predicated his
budget on the strength of a war
boom that is now failing miserably,
Thomas said. Tht and political ex-
pediency are the main reasons for
the retreat of New Deal policy. Even
if Roosevelt were reelected this fall,
it is very uncertain whether he could
take up where he left off because
the terms of his election would prob-
ably prohibit it, Thomas declared.
School Board
Receives Land
Hearing Today
Right To Purchase Tax
Deliiquent Properties
Will Be Determined
As the City of Ann Arbor and the
Ann Arbor Board of Education failed
to send representatives to a hearing
of the State Land Office Board
Wednesday, a second hearing has
been scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today,
at which the right of the city and
school board to buy tax delinquent
property at the recent state salvage
sale will be determined.
The Land Office Board has advised
the city and school board that they
will be required to furnish proof that
the property was purchased for pub-
iic purposes and not for re-sale. In
the event that this cannot be proved,
the city and school board will be re-'
quired to give up the property.
Representatives
At the same time, the city and
school board are not expected to have
representatives at the hearing today,
preferring to rest their case on argu-
ments advanced by City Attorney
William M. Laird in a letter to the
Board. Laird stated ir his letter
that the city was already making
plans for the use of theuacquired
property, but would be unable to
make any statement to the effect
at today's hearing as it did not yet
know exactly which parcels it would
have until the redemption period
elapses.
Today is the final day on which
the original owners of the property
sold at the state sale may redeem
their parcels by matching the city's
bids. Laird said the information
could be supplied the Board Tues-
day, following the meeting of the
city council Monday night, if the
list of unredeemed property is then
available.
School Board Willing
The school board has made known
its willingness to abide by the ac-
tion of the city council and Laird
in the matter, taking no action of
its own.
Intervention of the State Land
Board in the question of the pur-
chases was requested by a protest
by a group of 35 Ann Arbor property
owners, asking that the purchase of
the land by city and school board
be declared void.

Cross Bows Concealed
Weapons, State Says
LANSING, March 14-(/P)-The
Attorney General department has de-
cided that the modern high power
crossbow is just as deadly a weapon
today as it was in the olden days.
It informed Oscar G. Olander,
state police commissioner, that cross-
bow fans are subject to the concealed
weapons and dangerous weapons law
the same as those who go in for
shooting with firearms.
Olander raised the question when
he learned that a manufacturer was
advertising crossbows that would
shoot .a bolt through a big city tele-
phone book backed by sheet steel
3. 32 of an inch thick.
