write the peace alone, or wield in-
ordinate power in the postwar con-
gress.
Social and psychological insecurity,
a special characteristic of the age of
technology, was laid at the doorstep
of economic' maladjustment and un-
equal distribution in the panel con-
cerned with social and psychological
insecurity. I
Economic insecurity leads to a psy-
chological feeling of insecurity which
in turn results in rationalization of
status so that a minority group can
be made a convenient scapegoat, it
was pointed out in initial discussion.
It was concluded that oppression of
Negroes in America and Jews in
Germany were the direct result of
this economic isecurity.
The panel showed unusual agree-
ment for such a discussion with the
only major dispute on whether other
factors than economic were impor-
tant in race prejudice. The unanim-
ity resulted in the adoption of a reso-
lution at the end of the session.
The resolution couched in general
terms recognized the need of ex-
tending "social and economic demo-
cracy" through the war and urged
that "students and citizens lend their
support to those groups" around
them "which seek to extend such
democracy and oppose the forces of
social and economic reaction.
CDVO Group
makes Survey
Plight Of Unsupervised
Youngsters Is Studied
War industry's orphans-children
Whose parents are both working in
local defense plants-are the subject
of a current survey sponsored by the
Ann Arbor Council of Social Agencies
i cooperation with the Civilian De-
fense Volunteer Office.
Over 100 families have already been
interviewed by'ODVO volunteers who
are gathering data on parents' occu-
pations, working hours, combined in-
come, and number of children in
each age group.
As day nursery facilities are very
limited at present, a serious problem
has arisen in these homes, according
to the CDVO. In some cases, children
are on the streets or at home all day
without parental care, the CDVO re-
ported.
Other CDVO projects, set up this
week include a clippings file of all
defense information published in De-
troit and New York newspapers and
the creation of machinery for in-
stant mobilization of protective serv-
ices in the event of air raids or sabo-
tage.
Volunteers are still needed for work
as clinical receptionists and assist-
ants at the University Hospital which
has been set up as an army base
hospital unit, according to the CDVO.
Further volunteer activities find
CDVO members recruiting for the
armed forces and aiding in the blood
plasma drive. The latter project has
made invaluable use of burly faculty-
men who are fit to carry patients.

Russ Morgan
Everybody "hep." attention!
The smooth dance arrangements
that are identified with "Music in
the Morgan Manner" are scheduled
to bring down the roof April 24-25
when Russ Morgan and his orchestra
entertain local alligators at the Mich-
igan Theatre.
Blonde and blue-eyed Phyllis Lynne
will be in the vocal slot, and her
sparkling, refreshing renditions of
novelty songs-like "Johnnie's in the
Pantry" and "Don't Let Julia Fool
Ya"-supported by Morgan's sweet
arrangements are sure to keep the
party in the proverbial groove.
Last year Morgan went on a na-
tion-wide tour which took his or-
chestra to the West coast and Holly-
wood where, besides playing an en-
gagement at the Palladium, million-
dollar nitery in the film capital, he
made several movie shorts.
During this tour he played at such
outstanding hotels and ballrooms as
the Palace Hotel in San Francisco,
the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chi-
cago, the Cavalier Club at Virginia
Beach, the Steel Pier in Atlantic City
and the Totem Pole in Boston.
By GEORGE SALLADE
Adoption of legislation for uniform
accounting, auditing and reporting in
local government units in Michigan
is suggested by Dr. Robert S. Ford,
director of the Bureau of Govern-
ment, and Albert Waxman, former
research assistant, in the Bureau's
ptblication, "Financing Government
in Michigan," released yesterday.
According to the authors such a
plan would strengthen local govern-
ment by placing its financial opera-
tions on an intelligible and compara-
ble basis for citizens. It would make
it possible to carry out an economy
program for both state and local
expenditures but would not transfer
any local power to the states or dis-
turb already existing relationships
between state and local units.
In the 27-year period from 1913 to
1939 there has been a phenomenal
increase in the amount of govern-
mental expenditures in the state of
Michigan. The combined costs of
state and local government, excluding
money spent directly in Michigan by
the federal government, rose from
$51,000,000 in 1913 to $374,000,000 in
1939.
One of the most significant changes
in the period was the decline in local
property tax levies from $237,000,000
in 1931 to $155,000,000 in 1935-a re-
duction of $83,000,000-the studies
made by Dr. Ford and Waxman show.
State aid to these units during the
same period rose from $39,000,000
million to $130,000,000-an increase
of $91,000,000.
Federal Aid Increased
The authors of the new publication
point out that in the ten years from
1930 to 1939 federal aid and direct
federal expenditures played a more
important role than at any time be-
fore in Michigan governmental fi-
nance. During this decade federal
aid increased by almost $20,000,000.
Direct expenditures in Michigan by
federal agencies that were not even
in existence in 1930 amounted to
$168,000,000 in 1939.
Outlays by the state government
are mostly for highways, education,
hospitals and corrections, and wel-
fare. In 1939 these functions were
responsible for 87 percent of state
governmental costs and state aid.
The relative importance of taxes
as a source of revenue to the state
has fluctuated during the period
from 1913 to 1939. In 1913, taxes,
licenses and fees accounted for 92
percent of total receipts, but in 1935,s
when federal aid hit a new peak, theyi
amounted to only 55 percent of total
receipts.
Reductions Necessary
Dr. Ford and Waxman explain that'
with the rise in federal taxes and
borrowing during the year, state and
local units will probably find it nec-
essary to reduce expenditures. This
will provide a strong incentive for
the adoption of measures leading to
greater economy and efficiency in
government.
Such measures would include, for
the state government, further im-
provement in centralized purchasing,
more supervision of local financial
practices through a requirement for
uniform accounting, auditing and re-
porting, as well as administrative
reorganization of the type repre-
sented by the new Department of
Revenue and the State Department
of Social Welfare.
In the case of local government
there are many opportunities for
economy through reorganization and
consolidation. The problem is par-
ticularly acute among the 6,600 school
districts. In view of the fact that
state aid now accounts for about one-
half of the state disbursements, it
is evident that modification of the
local structure is not entirely a local
problem and that it should be in-
cluded in a comprehensive program
of governmental economy.
Dorothy Visscher
Wins Higbie Prize
FIor Novel Design
The Jane Higbie Award, annually
given to the sophomore in the Col-
lege of Architecture and Design
showing the greatest promise in re-
gard to originality and workmanship
in Decorative Design, was recently
presented to Dorothy L. Visscher,
'44A.
The faculty jury making selections
also awarded Albert B. Chipman,
'44A, second place and Harvey R.
Littleton, '44A, honorable mention.
This jury was composed of Prof.
Walter J. Gores, chairman, Prof.
Catherine B. Heller, Prof. Emil Wed-
dige, Prof. Donald Gooch, Prof. Jean
Paul Slusser, Prof. A. Mastro Valerio,
and Dean Wells I. Bennett.
Through the generosity of Prof.
and Mrs. H. H. Higbie, this $50 award
for students in Decorative Design
was established in memory of their
daughter, a former student in the
College. The basis, for judging the
contestants was their entire work,
the qualifications of the candidates,
their personality, a letter stating the
student's aims in art, and a sketch
problem without criticism.
In connection with the sketch
problem, this year each student com-
petitor was required to make a design
or composition related to the sub-
ject, "Rumor." The purpose of the
design was to demonstrate within
the limitation of four hours, a spon-
taneous example of the student's im-
aginative and creative ability.
Other contestants were Richard
Allen, '44A, R. Esther Guntley, '44A,
and Stanley Glassman, '44A.
ROTC Outshoots Rivals
A double victory was scored by
the military ROTC over their blue
clad rivals from North Hall Friday
when they took victories in both var-
sity and freshman rifle competition.
Honors Plan
Will Include
Sophom'ores
Closest approach to a "trade
school" in thinking, the Degree Pro-
gram for Honors in Liberal Arts is
now open to sophomores with a B
average. Applicants will be inter-
viewed from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Monday,
Wednesday and Friday until May 1
in Room 1204 Angell Hall.
The honors program, instituted
four years ago as one of the Univer-
sity's major education experiments,
offers work in three fields-science,{
social science and literature. Ap-
proximately forty students are en-
rolled at present in five junior and
three senior groups.I
In addition to conducting its classes
under a highly-individualized tutorial
system, the Honors program is also
unique in its stress placed on devel-
opment of student thought and writ-
ten expression. The purely technical
aspects of subject matter are de-
emphasized to further such an aim.
Exemplifying this purpose to the
highest extent is the group. studying
classical literature under the tutor-
ship of Prof. S. D. Dodge of the' geog-
raphy department.
Professor Dodge, who has long felt
that the works of the great social
scientists are applicable to all sci-
ences, has organized this group's work!
under the famed reading list used by
St. John's College at Annapolis.
With this list in mind, Professor
Dodge has assigned reading in the
classics (which he defines as "any
first-rate books.") The ideas of the
Iliad and Plato's Republic were anal-
yzed last semester both in context
and in terms of their importance to
the present society.
"The main purpose of this group's
study is to learn to read critically and
to be able to express one's own
thoughts as simply and as clearly as
the best writers have done," Profes-
sor Dodge asserted yesterday.
Professor Dodge is a firm advocate
of increased educational emphasis on
English and mathematics since he
has found many specially-trained
men to be gravely deficient in these
so-called elementary processes.
Glee Club To Sing Today
The University of Michigan Glee
Club, under the direction of Prof.
David Mattern of the School of Mu-
sic, will conclude the International
Center's regular series of Sunday eve-
ning programs with a concert at 8
p.m. today in the Union Ballroom. All
students who have attended the
year's series are especially invited
for this evening's program.
"Battle Songs of Freedom," a pro-
gram of patriotic melodies with con-
tinuity written by the advanced play-
writing class of Kenneth T. Rowe,
Professor of English, will be pre-
sented for the second time today at
the Ford Naval Station in Dearborn,
by students of David Owen's radio
class.
The Civic Music Association origin-
ally gave "Battle Songs" in Hill Aud-
itorium on February, employing for
the first time continuity in its an-
nual show. Moreover, this was the
earliest script of this type to be based
on a defense theme.

Glauser Will Play
In Carillon Reeital
Featuring some of his own compo-
sitions, Percival Price, University
Carillonneur, will present a carillon
recital from 7:15 p.m. to 8 p.m. to-
day.
This concert will introduce a new
carillonneur to Ann Arbor, when
Hugh Glauser will be heard playing
an air for carillon with variations in
classical style and also a duet with
Professor Price.
This duet, Rhapsodie 1 for two
carillonneurs, will close the program.
It is unusual to have more than one
player at the keyboard, but Professor
Price, persuaded some years ago that
effects not possible by one performer
could be obtained. by two, composed
this piece as an experiment in that
field. He has since composed two
others, the newest of which will be
heard in the final program of the
spring series.
