Michigan Cities
Bid for State
Financial HepE
Approach Legislature
For Revenue Relief
By The Associated Press
LANSING, Feb. 7 - Financially
pressed Michigan cities moved on two
fronts today to obtain relief from the
Legislature, and legislative leaders
said the would undertake formal con-
sideration of the cities' problems next
week.
Fight For Workable Plan
A group of mayors and city man-
agers called for an expression of pol-
icy from Governor Kelly on the sub-
ject of diverting state funds to local
government, or opening new revenue
sources to the local units. The group
promises to help him fight for adop-
tion of a "workable" plan.
Another group asked legislative
financial and tax committee leaders
when some action could be expected'
on their problems, and was told that
the House and Senate Taxation Com-
mittees would meet jointly Monday
night to make some start on a reliev-
ing program, the nature of which he
said it is impossible now to predict.
Milliken Addresses Welsh
"It is my idea," said Senator James
T. Milliken, Traverse City Republican
Chairman of the Senate Taxation
Committee, "That we should decide
right at the start whether we want to
give the cities any money. Then we
can decide how much, and how it is
to be accomplished."
Milliken addressed the remarks to
Mayor George W. Welsh of Grand
Rapids, who has been leading a fight
for diversion of state sales tax sur-
pluses to the cities.
Welsh was not among the mayors
and city managers forming the dele-
gation to demand a statement of Gov-
ernor Kelly.
Paricutin Films

Dr. Hartweg Will Tell
Volcano's Story Today
Films of Paricutin, the volcano that
erupted in a Mexican field, will be
shown at 8 p. m. today in the Rack-
ham Amphitheatre under the spon-
sorship of Phi Sigma, honor society
of biological sciences.,
Dr. Norman E. Hartweg, who ac-
companied the expedition filming the
baby volcano, will give a narrative
description of the color films. Dr.
Hartweg, a member of the zoology de-
partment and Assistant Curator of
Reptiles and Amphibians in the Uni-
versity's Museum of Zoology, flew in
the plane from which many of the
shots weretaken.
In all, 17 trips were taken over the
volcano which first erupted in Feb-
ruary, 1942. The films show develop-
ment of the volcano, located in the
Mexican volcanic belt, up to 1944.
The program is open to the public.

will be the discussion topic of the
International Center program, to be

department, will lecture on "The
Whole of Switzerland in This War,"

opinion was shared, I am sure, by
the women we serenaded." He at-
tributed the success of this venture
to the president Leonard Wheaton.
Prepare for Broadcast
"There are a number of things on
the fire," he continued, "for next
semester." Dr. David Mattern, the
director, is preparing the Club for a
broadcast over WJR, but no definite
date has been set. Also on agenda is
a Union Dance honoring the Club.
There will be a membership drive
to begin the semester, with probable,
if unusual, serenading of men's dorms

tivities and traditions look to the
Varsity Glee Club in coming months."
