City Planner
TQ Give Talk
Coordinator Jacob Crane
To SpeakMonday

who has risen to the position of
assistant coordinator of the Division
of Housing Coordination will deliver
a University Lecture on "The Place
of Public and Private Enterprise in
Housing" at 2 p.nT. Monday in the
first floor lecture room of the Archi-
tecture Building.
He is Jacob Crane, recognized
authority on city planning, who has
developed plans for more than 60
American cities.
Born' in Benzonia, Mich., Crane be-
gan his career as city planner in
Washington, D.C. He has done work
in state planning in Illinois and
Iowa, worked on several engineering
projects in China and Russia in 1931,

Talk On Iran
Will Be Given
By McDowel
Personally acquainted with both
the territory and the conflicting na-
tions he plans to discuss, Prof. Robert
H. McDowell will deliver a public lec-
ture at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Rack-
ham Lecture Hall on "The Develop-
ing Battle Front in the Caucasus and
in Iran."
Professor McDowell, who will speak
under the auspices of the Committee
To Defend America, was born in
Alexandretta, Syria, and has served
in ;the Near East as a relief worker
and Lieutenant in the British Mili-
tary Intelligence Service. During the
first World War, disguised as a refu-
gee, he used his knowledge of Turk-
ish, Armenian, Syriac, and Russian
to gain information for the Allies.
The results of German occupation
in Iran may have a widespread effect,
Professor McDowell feels. In this
case a union with the Japanese air
force could be terminated and "we
might wake up to find a German air
force 40 miles from Alaska."
