Detroit Will Commemorate
Historical, Automotive Events,
Anniversary of British Evacuation, Raising
Of First American Flag To Be Celebrated
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, April 27-Along with
the automotive industry's golden jubi-
lee celebration, Detroit will observe
another anniversary in its 245-year
his ory-the evacuation of Detroit by
the British and the raising of the first
American flag in this area.
The 150th anniversary of this is
on July 11, but it was decided to merge
the observance with the Automotive
Festival which opens May 29 and con-
tinues for two weeks.
The Evacuation Day ceremonies
will get under way Memorial Day
when a women's committee will
place flowers on the grave of Col.
John Francis Hamtramck, IPetroit's
first comnandant, in Mount Elliott
Cemetery.
The actual surrender took place in
downtown Detroit, the British Fort
occupying the present Federal Build-
ing site, but sponsors of the Holly-
Wood-trimmed reenactment are
thinking of the modern spectators'
comfort. The performance will be held
in Olympia Stadium, Detroit's largest
indoor arena.
The United States, history shows,
acquired Detroit the hard way--
by fighting.
The British held Michigan until the

he said he favored the, McMahon Bill
"with any amendments that are
needed to mollify the armed serv-

of government must be observed."
He called for speedy adoption of
the State Department's plan for in-

Questioned on his attitude toward
Russia, Saari said the Soviet Union
had fought a war rendering "invalu-
able service" in the defeat of facism
but that "now it is time for Russia to
show that she is capable of giving
her citizens democratic rights-po-
litical economic and social-to which
all peoples are entitled."
He maintained, however, that Rus-
sia "must first feel secure" and that
"we must build a system of collective
security which will make it possible
for all people to enjoy economic and
political freedom."

Jay Treaty although the Treaty of
Paris, (1783), closing the War of the
Revolution, had ceded it to the United
States.
Because Great Britain not only held
the area but also kept the Indians
stirred up, Congress decided to take
action. Successive expeditions against
them were led by Col. Josiah Harmer
and Gen. Arthur St. Clair. Both end-
ed in defeat.
President Washington then
played his ace card. He ordered
Gen. Anthony (Mad Anthony)
Wayne, commander-in-chief of the
American Army, to end the upris-
ings and win back territory held by
the British.
With a force of 3,000 men, includ-
ing 1,500 mounted Kentucky Rangers,
the colorful Revolutionary War gen-
eral used new tactics against the In-
dians and their British-Canadian
Allies at the Battle of Fallen Timbers
(near the present site of Toledo) on
Aug. 20, 1794, and won a decisive
victory.
This led to the Treaty of Green-
ville with the Indians and opened
the way to new negotiations with
Great Britain.
Many of Detroit's citizens of 1796
didn't like the change in ownership.
There was a mass exodus of British
merchants to Windsor, Sandwich and
other nearby poinxts in Canada. Be-
fore the surrender, Detroit's popula-
tion was 2,200 but within a few
months it had dwindled to about 500.

B-29 Bomber
Wil Investigate
Cosmic Rays
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 27-An es-
pecially-equipped B-29 bomber will
lead a new attack on the secrets of
cosmic rays-the mysterious particles
of great energy which constantly
bombard the earth from outer space.
This was announced today by Dr.!
Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the'
National Geographic Society. LateI
in May, the Geographic Society, to-
gether with the Army Air Forces and
the Bartol Research Foundation of
the Franklin Institute will commence
researches designed to obtain "fuller
information" on cosmic ray inten-
sities as they vary with latitude and
altitude.
Flying Laboratory
Their superfort "flying labora-
tory" will range over an area
4,800 miles in length and climb to
altitudes up to 6% miles, recording
on sensitive instruments the impact
of cosmic messengers which may hold'
the key to many unsolved secrets of
the universe.
Four round trips will be made be-
tween a point near the northern bor-
der of the United States and the
"magnetic equator-which is some
20 degrees south of the geographic
equator.
Intensity of Mesotrons
It is the specific objective of the
aerial expedition to measure the in-
tensity of "mesotrons,"-tiny particles
into which the primary cosmic rays
are believed to split after entering the
earth's atmosphere.
Mesotrons' are believed to represent
the end products of an atomic dis-
integration.

That would be just a year from the

the car assembly plants by July 1 will

spokesmen said was the first one
built that would drive an airplane
faster in level flight than the speed

Department auspices.
The power plant weighs 210 pounds

Its overall measurements are only

Little Prospect
Seen for Quick
THE BIRTH OF BUCK ROGERS:
Library Traces Development of Transportatin
to the University to become professor1
of transoprtation and railroad engin-
eering. Prof. Worley had planned and
built railroads, had been for many
years a consulting engineer in New
York City, and knew the backgrounds
and literature of his profession. Find-
ing that nowhere in the country was
there anything like a complete collec-
tion of literature of transportation,
he determined that the University
of Michigan should have such a
library.
Donations Received
Prof. Worley was advised on thel
project by Dr. W. W. Bishop, librar-
ian of the University, who agreed
to the proposal that the new library
should be made an independent unit.
Generous financial assistance was
given by several automobile manu-
facturing companies, and large dona-'
tions were received from interested
individuals. With these funds a num-
ber of highly important private col-
lections were secured which formed
the early nucleus of the Library.
The shelves of the Library are.
loaded with documents, reference
manuals, technical journals, society
proceedings, government commission
reports, laws and charters, annual
company reports, and general refer-
ence books. The different fields cov-
ered by these references include wat-
erways, land transportation, air
transportation, communication, pipe-
line transportation and public
utilities.
Correspondence Collection
The Library also has on file an
enormous volume of correspondence
and personal papers. Included in this
collection are the personal effects of
Colonel Charles Ellet, Union officer
in the Civil War, which were obtained
through the cooperation of his des-
cendants. Colonel Ellet's most notable
achievement in the war was the use
of a task force of rams to destroy
Confederate shipping. Colonel Ellet,
owner of a fleet of boats, was the
author of numerous reports on bridge
construction and waterways which
are preserved in the Library.
One of the most valuable of the
cets of ersonal papers is that of
Oliver Evans. early American engi-
neer. In 1805 Philadelphia crowds
watched Oliver Evans rattle down
Market Street in an amphibious jeep
straight into Delaware River- in
what was actually thie first steam-
driven motor vehicle in history.
Exhibit Cases
Along the walls of the Library and
in the hall outside stand exhibit cases
containing models and relics of the
past history of transportation. The
walls themselves are liter ally covered
with pictures, prints, photographs, old
advertising and maps.
Prof. Roger L. Morrison, present
director of the Library, emphasizes
that from the outset the Transporta-
tion Library ha. had a double pur-
pose: it is intended to be a treasure-
house in vhich can be accumulated
the literature of the subject, and it
is intended to be as complete a ref-
erence and research library as can be
gathered, serving the active fields
of the profession as well as the grad-
uate and undergraduate student
bodies of the University.
