p ~'AGE rOTJR THE MIlCHIGAeN ILY SA:TUED;AZ MAY27, 1944 Roosevelt Invites Allies To Post- War Conference 42 Governments To Consider Proposals For Cooperation on Money Problems By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, May 26. - Presi- dent Roosevelt sent out a call today for a conference of the United and Associated Nations on, post - war money problems starting July 1. He invited 42 governments, includ- ing the French Committee of Libera- tion, to send representatives to Bret.- ton Woods, N.H., for consideration of proposals which include: 1. An international monetary plan, revolving around an $8,000,000,000 gold-based stabilization fund, pro- viding for a value in gold for each 1-MAN FORAY: Wrong ite LONDON, May 26. -()- Capt. Randall W. Hendricks, Thunderbolt fighter-bomber pilot of Youngs- town, O., destroyed a vital bridge by himself behind Hitler's west wall in Belgium-but drew an official reprimand, nevertheless because he wasn't assigned to that target. Hendricks with other Thunder- bolt pilots was on the way to bomb a target in Belgium when he spot- ted a bridge and flew down and at- tacked it. "It was a double track railroad bridge across a ravine and I came down the ravine below the level of the bridge," Hendricks said. "One of my delayed action bombs struck a support while another sailed through the arch. Climbing up I looked back as the center of the bridge went down." When he returned to base a rep- rimand by Col. Gilbert L. Meyers of Milford, Ta., awaited Hendricks for bombing the wrong target. High School. Choir ToSing As the International Center's last Sunday evening program' for the current semester, the Acapella Choir of the -Ann Arbor High School will present a varied program at 7:30 p. m. tomorrow in the Union Ball- room. The choir, which has about 50 members, is under the direction of Miss Rose Marie Grentzer, who teaches the theory of music in the University and directs scholar groups in the University High School. In announcing th e program, George Hall, assistant to the director of the International Center, said that it will give the "younger Ameri- cans an opportunity to supply enter- tainment for foreign students on campus and others who are inter- ested." He also announced that another series of Sunday evening programs will be started for the summer se- mester.° nation's cur'rency and restricting fluctuations of any country's market transactions in money of other coun- tries. Allies Would Furnish Funds Under this plan, announced last month as an agreement in principle among fiscal experts of more than 30 nations, the United States would provide between $2,500,000,000 and $2,750,000,000 of the fund; Britain would furnish $1,250,000,000 and Rus- sia, $1,000,000,000. 2. A $10,000,000,000 international bank for reconstruction and devel- opment--a sort of world RFC. Declaring this country is "not in-. terested" in dominating the post-war monetary structure, a high treasury official, who withheld use of his name, said: "Neither Britain nor any other country need fear that America will use its preponderance of gold as a "'big stick' to hold over the heads of others." Gold Is a Yardstick "Gold is merely the yardstick," he said. "In America it so happens our currency is anchored to it. But we realize that to insist on a gold stand- ard such as controlled finances be- fore the war would only isolate Am- erica, financially and economically, and endanger its future world trade." Any agreements reached at the conference - first full - dress world parley summoned by President Roose- velt-would be subject to approval by the governments represented. In the case of the United States, this would mean Congressional approval. Gunner Lost Over Australia Sgt. Raymond J. Schira, former Whitmore Lake resident, has been reported missing in action over Aus- tralia since April 15th, according to War Department reports. Sgt. Schira landed in Italy in March, and served as a gunner on a Bomber group which had a rec- ord of nine missions on Easter Sun- day, according to the Sergeant's last letter home. Sgt. Schira is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Schira, formerly of Whit- more Lake, now of Carey, O., and is a graduate of St. Thomas High School. War Prisoners To Work WASHINGTON, May 26.- (P)- President Roosevelt today made pub- lic a statement from the War De- partment and Office of War Mobili- zation which said there are 100,000 prisoners of war in this cQuntry available for labor on farms and other useful projects.

HORTICULTURISTS: Botany Students Plant Gardens m _ _ _" --1 b - -11 7 1-1 1T G Pin uract <>> Gardens planted by the students of Botany II serve to put into prac- tice the botanical principles studied in the course, thus combining the practical application of gardening with scientific knowledge, said Prof. Elzada U. Clover, of the botany de- partment. At the beginning of the semester, weed seeds were studied and the students were given unknown sam- ples of seeds containing weed seeds to identify. They also studied the nature and control of plant diseases under Prof. Edwin B. Mains, who handles the first part of the course. "The term 'rag doll' often used by Corbeta, of CIO, Urges Interest In '44 Elections "Whether you're in the University, in business or in organized labor, the oncoming elections are of vital im- portance to you," Sam Corbeta, co- ordinator in the Second Congression- al District for the CIO Political Ac- tion Committee, said yesterday at a meeting held in Local 38 (UAW- CIO> Hall. The meeting, which was attended by representatives from the city UAW locals, the AFL, and University students and faculty, was called for the purpose of getting as large a group of Ann Arbor citizens inter- ested in the '44 elections as possible. "In we fail in this election, we are going to lose all that we have gained at such great cost during the last twelve years," Corbeta said. Stating that "to do this job right there will have to be a lot of leg-work and we'll have to dig down to the grass roots," Corbeta chastized those people who are too lazy to do what is required of them. "The result has been that here in Washtenaw County we have got one of the most reac- tionary representatives in the coun- try, Earl C. Michener, and one who definitely does not represent us." Olitzki To Give Baritone Recital Walter Olitzki, baritone with the Metropolitan, Company, will give a recital at 8 p. m. today in the Mich- igan League under the sponsorship of the local student Bha group. Olitzki will be accompanied by Miss Roberta Chatkim, '46, a stu- dent in the School of Music. Also on the program will be Har- lan Ober, Bahai lecturer, who will speak on "One Hundred Years Near- er World tUnity." This program is being presented in connection with the centenary of the birth of the Bahai faith which was celebrated this week at the Bahai Temple in Wilmette, Ill. The room in which the program is to be presented will be posted. No charge will be made, and the pro- gram is opened to the public. Christian Fellowship Will Hold Initial Spring Meet All members of the Outdoor Chris- tian Fellowship are requested to meet bye5 p. m. today at the Chapel for the first spring meeting. Barney Briggs, Pharoah, stated that the group wil proceed in a body from the chapel to the Crossroads. - -i - . icai nowlugle the students doesnt refer to their childhood Raggedy Anns but to a process used to determine the per cent of seed germination," said Prof. Clover. The 'rag doll' consists of a piece of cloth marked off in squares with seeds from different packets placed on these square. Then the cloth is folded, tied around a stick, and put into water for two hours. The best seeds will begin to sprout, and the student can tell which pack- et of seeds to use for the best yield, explained Miss Clover. Grafting Done In addition to seed testing and gardening, the students work an grafting, an unusual example of which is graftingsa tomato plant on a potato plant which results in the production of tomatoes above the ground and potatoes 12elow. Soils, cultivated shrubs, edible and poi- sonous wildplants are also studied. Vegetable Seeds Planted The gardens were started by plant- ing seeds of tomato, cauliflower, head lettuce, celery, and other vege- tables in flats in the greenhouse, to be transplanted outside when wea- ther permitted. Weeds were also planted in flower pots in order to acquaint students with differences between the leaves of the young plants and the leaves of any weeds growing. This was done to elimin- ate the chances of pulling out the young plants. The objects of this course are to give practical experience in propa- gation of plants, and to study and understand the basic b o tani ca l principles. Regents . ..

Richard Thomas of Co. D is, spending his ten-day furlough in Ann Arbor working on the music for Co. D's comedy, "Rumor Has It," which will be presented Thursday and Fri-, day in the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- tre. Dick is in charge of all orchestra-' tion and musical arrangement for the show. In addition to conducting the orchestra, he is accompanying in' rehearsals. When the show is pre-' sented, he will direct the orchestra from the piano. Works Six Full Days For the past six days he has been working from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. writing a master copy of the ar- rangement, taking just a half hour out for lunch. From 7 to 10 p.m. he Chinese City Believed Taken By Japanese CHUNGKING, May 26-(')-The Chinese command announced late tonight that contact with the an- cient Chinese city of Loyang had been cut and an official army spokesman said that it probably had fallen to strong Japanese forces which have been besieging it for days. Tokyo claimed capture of the city yesterday. "Since the night of May 24 the enemy has been making continuous attacks on Loyang," said a Chinese communique. "Since yesterday morn- ing the situation at Loyang has been obscure, as contact with the defend- ers has been cut. Maj. Gen. C. C. Tseng, Army spokesman, said that although the city probably had fallen he could not announce"it formally until he had received confirmation. Loyang, six times capital of China, lies in north- western Honan on the Lunghai rail- way, guarding an historic approach to interior China. The Japanese drive through Hon- an westward toward Shensi province has been halted at all main points, Gen. Tseng said. Officers Elected to 'U' Alumni Clubs The University of Michigan Alum- ni clubs of the ninth district which includes the southeastern part of the state elected their officers for the coming sessions in their annual meet- ing held Wednesday at the Wardell- Sheraton Hotel in Detroit. Joseph C. Hooper, who was past president of the University of Mich- igan Club of Ann Arbor, was electedl president of the Ninth Alumni Dis-l trict. Joseph Brady of Howell will be district director; Lou Hyde, Detroit, first vice-president; Robert Brown, Flint, second vice-president; and Mrs. Louis Bateman, Plymouth, secretary- treasurer. CONSCIENTIOUS: Thomas, Co. D's Arranger, Spends Furlough Here copies off the parts for the different instruments. He explained that when one is making arrangements unless he has had a lot of experience, he never knows just how it is going to sound until he hears the songs. Usually, he added, this is the result of a lack of experience on the part of the ar- ranger, and because different people play the arrangement different ways. Consequently, he said, adjustments often have to be made at rehearsals when he finds, for example, that he has written a double forte for the flutes in Middle C. Acts as Synchronizer At rehearsals the arranger has the job of synchronizing the orchestral arrangement with the choral, danc- ing and solo parts. Dick claimed that the least of his worries is the per- formance of the musicians who play the parts. The orchestra is made up of 11 pieces, and is based mainly on wood- winds. It consists of two flutes, three clarinets, one oboe, one French horn, one bassoon, a string bass, a drum and a piano. Nine coeds and three men from Co. D are playing in it. Studies Music 12 Years Dick has been studying music for over 12 years. A Princeton graduate of '43, he earned his way through college by playing jazz around New York City, Westchester County, and Princeton. All his studying and ork has been in the field of classical mu- sic. At Princeton he majored in theory and composition. According to Dick there is no quar- rel between the two types of music. He says classical music is 'conceived on a different level from popular mu- sic and serves a different purpose. Church To Hold Spec ial Session Congregationalists To Sign World Order Members of the First Congrega- tional Church will be given the op- portunity to sign the World Order Compact at a special service tomor- row. The World Order Compact was adapted from the original Mayflow- er Compact, written in 1620 with phrases from General Council Reso- lutions, pledging to work for a co- operative world order. After the signing, delegates to the General Council meeting at Grand Rapids will collect the signed com- pacts from the churches they repre- sent. A special service to .be held June 25 will be featured by the pub- lic presentation of individual com- pacts. The Rev. Leonard Parr has said he hoped that this program will in- fluence political party conventions to put foreign policy above partisan- ship. He also emphasized that mem- bers write to senators and conven- tion delegates urging American par- ticipation in a world order. i 1' Continuous from 1 P.M. COOL!
