Message To Legislature
ProposesAid Change
LANSING, Feb. 12.-(-P)-Liberal-
ization of the old age assistance pro-
gram was proposed to the legisla-
ture by Governor Van Wagoner to-
day in a special message calling for
action on 17 new bills.
Legislative observers said a deci-
sions in the Senate to sidetrack, at
least temporarily, a planned investi-
gation of Unemployment Compensa-
tion Commission and liberalization of
the commission's program was due
partly to the new avalanche of bills.
Van Wagoner asked $1,600,000 be
appropriated by the current special
session to increase old age assistance
benefits and those for mothers of
dependent children.
The Governor asserted the increase
would permit old age assistance pay-
ments to be raised from an average
of $18.15 per month to an average of
$20 a month.
"This,'" the man said, "is strictly a
job for guys with guts. No others
need apply."
Yet without solicitation, almost
without fanfare, 600 men have ap-
plied. They are willing to risk death
as members of the city's bomb dis-
posal squads.
InLondon, they call them "suicide
squads." That will give you an idea.
Their task is to dig up unexploded
bombs which an enemy may some
day unload over this sprawling city,
biggest on the Pacific coast. The
missiles may be duds, harmless as
hot water bottles.
Or they may be delayed action
bombs, ready to blast anyone nearby
,into eternity.
Deputy Police Chief Homer B.
Cross is in general charge of the
organization. Each police precinct
will have its own squad, in command
of detectives trained for years to
handle a different type'of bomb-
the kind agitators or cranks might
have fashioned.
Aside from the police commanders,
the squads will be made up of volun-
teers-civilians with steel nerves and
plenty of intestinal fortitude.
They'll be on call the minute an
air raid siren sounds, ready to speed
to the spot where an unexpected
bomb has dropped, dig it out, load
it on a cart and hustle it to an iso-
lated disposal ground.
Hollywood and West Los Angeles
volunteers include virtually all of the
movies' stunt men, members of that
exclusive club to which death defi-
ance is an every-day proposition.
They're valued not only for their
New Merger
IApproved By
SDDMeeting
The Michigan Chapter of the Stu-
dent Defenders of Democracy voted
yesterday to follow its parent organ-
ization into the Student League of
America.
In voting to merge with the newly-
formed national progressive organ-
ization, SDD accepted fully the con-
stitution and program written at the
National Student Merger Conven-
tion, where the formation of the
Student League of America took
place during the Christmas recess.
The program of the Student League
of America stresses first and fore-
most the winning of the war in
which we are now engaged. Also
emphasized is the maintenance of
our democratic rights and privileges
in the course of the war, and the
formation of a world-wide demo-
cratic federation. _:
Domestic problems are not, how-
ever, neglected in the program.
Great importance is laid to the con-
tinuance of social and economic
gains, and to further measures in
the same direction.
With its entrance into the Stu-
dent League of America, SDD be-
comes part of a nation-wide student
organization, embracing such youth
groups as the Student League for
Progressive Action and the College
Division of the Committee to Defend
America.
Michigan Section

meet Tuesday, Feb. 17, at 8 p.m. in
the Rackham Building to hear a
talk by Prof. W. G. Dow of the

search work, will talk on the subject,
"Electrinics and Industrial Applica-
tion." Refreshments and a short
business meeting will follow his talk.
The Lansing student chapter of
the AIEE will come to Ann Arbor
and attend the meeting as guests of
the University's student group. They
will be shown through the engineer-
ing college laboratories and will be
guests at a dinner in the Union that
evening.

"Hollywood bomber squads," they
have named themselves.
"Sure it's dangerous," said Buddy
Roosevelt, a movie stunter who has

"So what? We're used to that.
And believe me, son, when your

Guts is right, Chief Cross.
Forest Fire
Control Work
To Be Taught
Three opportunities exist in the
West for men interested in forest fire
control work this summer, Dean S. T.
Dana of the School of Forestry and
Conservation announced yesterday.
The first training opportunity is at
Oregon State College which will take
men of upper high school age and
college students into a group called
the "Oregon Red-Hats." This three
year old organization will give the
men intensive forestry training, pro-
viding they are in good physical con-
dition and are willing to abide by a
low basic rate of pay in camp, gamb-
ling on being frequently called to
fight fires at good wages.
Basic pay will be $30 per month for
high school men and $50 per month
for college students in addition to
board and lodging. Travel expenses
to and from the camp must be borne
by the applicants.
A similar school near Missoula,
Mont., will probably be conducted
for the Inland Empire forest region,
Dean Dana pointed out. In this case,
an announcement will be made later.
A third opportunity for summer
employment exists with the Regional
Forest Service Headquarters at Mis-
soula, Mont., said Dana, which wants
husky college students for full sum-
iner work manning forest fire look-
out stations, fighting white pine blis-
ter rust, and reducing fire hazard in
sale areas of timber. Men accepting
these jobs will be expected to be on
call for fire fighting service. Wages
will range from $125 to $140 per
month.
Further information may be se-
cured from the Registrar's Office of
the School of Forestry and Conser-
vation, Room 2048 Natural Science
Building until the 25th of this month.
Pension Plan
May Be Killed
Retirement Scheme Scored
By Congressmen
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. -()- A
new move for quick repeal of legis-
lation granting retirement pay to
members of Congress was launched
today by Representative Nichols
(Dem.-Okla.).
The Oklahoman said he expected
to have at least 250 signaturesr-more
than a majority-by next Tuesday
night on a petition urging the Civil
Service Committee to bring to the
floor a repeal bill now pending.
"I am convinced that if a major-
ity of the members of the House sign
the petition, the Civil Service Com-
mittee will be compelled to heed
their demands," he said.
On the House floor, the campaign
of daily speeches against the pen-
sion act continued. Representative
Knutson (Rep.-Minn.) concluded his
criticism with the remark:
"If there's anything in the world
more cowardly than a Congressman,
it's two Congressmen."
Marley Speaks Today

Definite techniques for the estab-
lishment of a lasting peace and

ley, pastor of the Unitarian Church,
8:15 p.m. today at Hillel Foundation's
Fireside Discussion Group.
Courses of action after the peace
is made will be analyzed and dis-
cussed by Reverend Marley. Ques-
tions and open forum discussion will
follow the initial presentation of the
topic.
