DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN
Following the decision of Circuit
Judge Fred W.'George last Saturday
in regard to the city dump, on Dhu
Varren Road, a permanent injunc-
tion may be issued against the city
by the end of this week.
The restraining injunction was is-
sued at the request of adjoining prop-
erty owners to the dump who claimed
that it constituted a social and health
menace. There is yet some indecision
over the date 6f the beginning of the
restraining order if the city appeals
the case to the State Supreme Court.
The Ann Arbor Health Depart-
ment will begin a new_ series of
health lectures at 8 p.m. tomor-
row in the auditorium of the W.
K. Kellogg Foundation, each course
consisting of four lectures.
Attendance at one complete course
will be a prerequisite for a food
handler's permit, Dr. John A. Wes-
singer, city health officer, said.
In brief, the topics for the lecture
series will be "Public Enemies," "Food
Guardians," "Good Housekeeping,"
and "The Individual."

Changes in both the sheriff's of-
fice and the police department have
been announced by their respective
heads.
/ At the City Hall, policemen will be
given a month's training with vari-
ous bureaus of the department so
that patrolmen will have had' actual
experience in each phase of police
work. Also, a training school for the
entire force will start next month, to
be continued for several weeks.
Sheriff John L. Osborne said that
through the hiring of another deputy
sheriff, the office will be able to stay
open the entire night instead of clos-
ing at 10 p.m.
Previously, although road patrol
was on a 24-hour basis, the office
itself was "closed" after 10 p.m. each
evening. Now the deputies will work
on three eight-hour shifts.
Esdaile, British
Bibliographer,
To Talk Today
Arundell Esdaile, president of the
British Library Association, will de-
liver a University Lecture on "Dr.
Johnson and the Young" at 4:15 p.m.
today in the Rackham Lecture Hall.
Mr. Esdaile will also speak at 4
p:m. tomorrow on "Bibliography and
History" in Room 110, Library.
For 37 years a member of the staff
of the British Museum, he was sec-
retary of the Museum from 1927 until
his retirement in 1940. He was editor
of the British Library Association
Record from 1923 to 1935, and has
been a leader in international library
activities.
Among the books on bibliography
that he has published are "The
World's Great Libraries," "A Stu-
dent's Manual of Bibliography" and
"Autolycus' Pack."
Both lectures, given under the
sponsorship of the Department of Li-
brary Science, will be open to the
general public.
U

In an interview yesterday, Dr. Ford
declared that the "threat of infla-
tion is here." It is unfortunate that
the question of meeting this threat
through price control has become so
mixed up in politics.
The political influence in the pres-
ent government bill, Dr. Ford empha-
sized, is indicated by the failure of
Congress to consider in a realistic
way the problems of rising wage rates
and rising prices of agricultural com-
modities and to include provisions
for them in the bill.
Admitting the bill sets farm com-
modity prices at 110 per cent of par-
ity, Dr. Ford pointed out that parity
is a figure which attempts to give
farmers the same purchasing power
which they had in the base period of
1909-14 and that therefore it fluc-
tuates with the prices of the basic
goods purchased by farmers.
Dr. Ford recommended that wage
the financing of the defense pro-
gram.
The defense savings plan, Dr. Ford
explained, is an example of non-in-
flationary borrowing. There are still
other aspects to the problem of price
control, however. A system of priori-
ties that prevents competitive bid-
ding between the government and
private firms is essential. Installment
regulations, such as those recently
introduced, designed to tighten up on
credit terms to reduce purchases for
private consumption are also neces-
sary.
