ton to work with Robert Cameron,
county sanitation engineer, on the
sanitation problems of Willow Run.
In order to transport the U. S. offi-
cial here, the Ypsilanti Defense
Board and the Washtenaw County
Board of Supervisors contributed
$200 each-and they have given the
green-light on all steps taken since.
The real estate companies have sig-
nified their willingness to encourage
all private builders to construct
homes for the laborers but wildcat
operators continue to stall attempts
of control over shacks.
The Federal Mousing Authority is
recommending that houses be rented
full-blast and rates such houses high
in priorities. However, a builder can-
not afford to construct homes just
to rent because there is no profit in-
centive in the practice. (Real estate
companies argue that workers can
destroy and depreciate rental homes
too readily.)
From here to Detroit there are in
the neighborhood of 15,000 lots which
bear $2500 covenants and real estate
interests urge that these lots are
within the income means of laborers.
Vego Nelson, president of the. Real
Estate Board here, does not believe a
house constructed for less than $3500
is "livable" and stresses that immedi-
ate construction can be started for
workers who will be obliged to pay
$35 or $45 per month.
But most of these lots are not in
the near vicinity of the bomber plant
by at least three miles. Thus, the
traffic problem will be intensified'
more than ever. Besides this, the lots
are scattered and an effective hous-
ing program with full servicing will
be blocked.

habilitation of wounded soldiers and
civilians after the present war.
This group which is composed of
graduate students is directed by H.
Harlan Bloomer, head of the Speech
Clinic. Dr. Hide Shohara, also on
the staff of the Clinic, is assisting
Dr. Bloomer in the seminar.
The members of the seminar will
investigate the types of defects and
the various methods of rehabilitation.
At the conclusion of their meetings,
they will draw up a bibliography on
the subject.
It has been found that the head
injuries of this war far exceed the
number of accidents in the last war.
Because of the marked advances in
brain surgery however, the mortality
rate has decreased.
"In spite of this medical progress,"
Dr. Bloomer declared, "there still
remains a very, grave problem. Vic-
tims of head injuries often suffer
from an aphasia which may cause
speech defects through damage of
the phonetic or articulatory organs.
"What can be done for the rehabil-
itation of this type of injury," Dr.
Bloomer continued, "is the problem
which we will consider in this semi-
nar."
Members of Play Production of the
Department of Speech will leave for
Fort Custer again today to give the
second of two performances of
"George Washington Slept Here,"
under the auspices of the United
Service Organizations.
The Kaufman-Hart comedy has
been shown in Ann Arbor on two
separate occasions. The first took
place last summer when the Michi-
gan Repertory Players presented it
with Claribel Baird in the leading
role. It was also given last month as
the third of Play Production's win-
ter bill.
C The same cast which appeared last
month will go to Fort Custer today.
Miss Ethel McCormick, social di-
rector of the League, declared that
this is the first opportunity for send-
ing the company to the camp. al-
though requests for the show have
been numerous.
The performances are being given
in the USO Club Theatre at Augusta.
Because the stage there is smaller
than the Lydia Mendelssohn's, the
crew left very early yesterday to try
to fix the sets so they could be used
there. Today, however, the cast and
crew will leave together at 3 p.m. in
a bus provided by the USO.
This is not the first group of local
students to send entertainment to
Fort Custer. Last month Filipino
dancers and the Women's Glee Club
Smade the trip.

coasts. Culver is one of the better
known Detroit artists.

structor in charge of clay modeling
and ceramics in the architecture col-
lege, while Mary Chase Stratton has
done important work in the field,
in addition to currently lecturing in

Speech Highlights Last Day
Of Annual State Highway Conclave
4c
By CHARLES THATCHER
A talk by John C. Jacoby, Wayne
County attorney, on "Retirement An-
nuities for County Road Employes"
marked the annual meeting of the
Michigan Association of Road Com-
missioners and Engineers which yes-
terday morning officially closed
the three-day twenty-eighth annual
Michigan Highway Conference.
New association officers for the
coming year will be George Rovonski
of Gogebic County, president; B. D.
Jeff, of Missaukee County, vife-presi-
dent; and L. F. Levine of Chippewa
County, secretary-treasurer. Lee O.
Brooks, retiring president, presided
over the meeting.
The meeting officially closed a
conference at which all but a few
seemed agreed that it is imperative
for highway engineers to begin plan-
ning now for post-war highway con-
struction program as the best means
of averting a post-war depression,
Kennedy Speaks
Supporting this contention was
State highway Commissioner G. Don-
ald Kennedy, who presented the main
address of the conference at the ban-
quet Thursday in the absence of Gov.
Murray D. Van Wagoner.
Only dissenter to the post-war
planning program was Maxwell Hal-
sey of the Michigan State Safety
Commission, who declared that the
primary problem at present is to win
the war, and that there should be no
concern about post-war preparation
until victory is won.
Other conference speakers noted
the increasing difficulty which may
be expected in obtaining materials
for road construction and mainten-
ance, and warned that many substi-
tutions are already in use and others
will be necessary.
Highways For Defense
The importance of good highways
for defense and war transportation
was also emphasized, and it was dis-
closed by J. G. Schaub of the State
Highway Department that a new
highway to the Willow Run bomber
plant is being planned,
The last word in traffic safety, this
super-motorway will eventually be-
come a link in a projected highway
connecting Chicago and Detroit.
Althougla other sessions were gen-
eral meetings, traffic officers, county
road commissioners and State High-
way Department men met separately
Thursday afternoon to discuss prob-
lems peculiar to their own particular
fields.
Bingay Speaks
One of the few non-highway men
appearing on the conference pro-
gram, M. W. Bingay of the Detroit
Free Press, told the banquet audi-
ence that it is probable the United
Nations will not begin to actually
win the war until the fall of 1944,
when the industrial might of the
United States will really begin to
make itself felt.
The lack of appropriations is al-
ready being felt in many districts,
and other conference speakers ob-
served that strict economy must be
practiced, but that "we must continue
to give reasonable service even in the
face of dificulties," as Commissioner
Kennedy put it.
R. H. Steketee of the Wayne
County Road Commission pointed out
that road markings are as important
to safe travel as the condition of the
highways themselves, and urged close
attention to this factor.
The conference was presented un-
der the direction of the College of
Engineering in cooperation with the
Michigan Association of Road Com-
missioners and Engineers, the Michi-
gan State Police and the State High-
way Department.

Strictly speaking, there is no picket line outside our door, but
