Hudson Receies Room,
Board Sch~oarship
Hiermian Hu-dson, '44, nearblhind
Negro student who was almost
forced to leave school as a result
of physical and financial handi-
caps, has accepted a room and
board scholarship which was of-
fered to him by the Abe Lincoln
Cooperative House, home of the
Bomber Scholarship.
Hudson, who possesses out-
standing public speakingcability,
recently captured first place hon-
ors in the district contest of the
National Extempore-Discussion,
which was recently held here.
A member of Phi Eta Sigma,
Hudson uses Braille wherever pos-
sible and is unable to read print.
Because of this handicap he has
developed an amazing memory in
order to retain the substance of
his studies without constant ref-
erence to notes.
Aid To Foreign
Students Given
By? Relief Fund
(Editor's Note: This is the fifth in a.
series of articles on cases benefited by
the Emergency Fund for Foreign Stu-
dents.)
Aid from the Emergency Fund for
Foreign Students extends even to
University students who are in poor
health.
One student, who was sent here on
a fellowship, discovered at the time
of his health examination that he
had tuberculosis. He had no other
source for money, and the war had
spread to his homeland, discontinu-
ing transportation and freezing his
funds there.
The organization providing the
fellowship agreed to finance his hos-
pitalization in a well-known Eastern
sanitarium and to permit him to take
up his education after recuperation
on an extended fellowship. The
amount of the fellowship was enough
to assure the hospitalization but not
transportation to the sanitarium. Al-
though not yet officially enrolled in
the University, the student was given
money for his transportation by the
Emergency Fund for Foreign Stu-
dents. He has since been cured and
entered the University.
Glee Club Will Sing
Concluding the International Cen-
ter's series of Sunday evening pro-
grams, the University of Michigan
Glee Club, under the direction of
Prof. David Mattern of the School of
Music, will sing at 8 p.m. Sunday in
the Union Ballroom.

This is the first year that a public
lecture has been included in the an-
nual cancer campaign. Other fea-
tures of the drive have consisted of
canisters placed in the schools, can-

Submarines Cause East Coast
Coal Shortage, Battle Declares

Judiciary Revises Constitution

(Conttiaued from, Page ?)

Tells Institute Transport I
Problem May Possibly
Bring Priority Ratings
By DAN BEIRMAN
Submarine activities on the Atlan-
tic seaboard-already an obstacle to
large-scale coal movements -have'
caused a shortage of several million
tons in the Nfw England area and
the coal industry's greatest problem,
it was asserted yesterday by John
D. Battle, executive secretary of the
National Coal Association.
Battle, who addressed the sixth
annual Retail Coal Utilization Insti-
tute on "Coal-Its Wartime Import-
ance," declared that alleviation of this
shortage by rail "offers a solution to
avoid trouble that we think we see
ahead."
Foreseeing future priorities on coal
if consumers do not build up their
supplies within the next five months,
I Battle assured his audience that
"there is enough coal in the 28 states
that supply it to last for a few thous-
and years. It's all a question of mov-

coal industry's major war-born prob-
lems. In addition to the dilemma of
getting men to work in rubberless1
automobiles, the war has made greatt
inroads into available manpower. 1
Mushroomed defense industries I
have also depleted the force of men
available for work in the mines. "Even
with our high wage scales, the oppor-
tunity to get some of the easy money
in certain war plants or shipyards is
such that some men can't resist,"
Battle said.
Battle foresaw increased industry
dependence on government assist-
ance, declaring that "no one dislkes
more than I do to have to appeal to
the government for anything, yet it
so happens that we don't manufac-
ture the equipment we need nor do
we have the power to control labor.
Pointing out that there are certain
people in high government places
who would like to see the govern-
ment take over railroads and the coal
industry, Battle said that "now is the
time to pull together to avoid this
catastrophe."
Battle's address highlighted the
two-day meeting of the Institute
which saw coal men from the mid-
western area convene here under the
sponsorship of the engineering col-
lege and the University Extension
Service.

the Committee on Student Affairs
and on the Board of Directors of the
Union, to represent the Judiciary
Council without a vote at meetings

Council and the Dean of Students.
The duties of the secretary are also

A tiny pin-hole in a telephone cable can admit
moisture, causing short circuits and service inter-

heating this trouble to the punch.
They charge the cable with dry nitrogen under
pressure. 'hen should a leak develop, the escaping
gas keeps moisture out. Instruments on the cable
detect the drop in pressure ... sound an alarm at a
