THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE. PAGE 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 Saarti..

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."

He was a campaign manager in the local Democratic party organization in the 1944 election. TYPEWRITERS Bought, Rented Repaired STUDENT and OFFI E SUPPLIES 0. D. MORRILL 314 S. State St. Phone 7177 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. + U 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.

Worley came, can hope to get this year. The industry will not reach normal production levels for another two months, even under more favorable circumstances than are now indicated. That would be just a year from the time the car makers were authorized to resume the manufacture of civilian vehicles. On the basis of the current outlook the car assembly plants by July 1 will have turned out about 500,000 passen- ger vehicles against an accumulated demand for upward of 12,000,000 units. All the car makers have been allo- cated steel on the basis of a percen- tage of their consumption during the four years immediately preceding the war. The car industry definitely is fight- ing an uphill battle in its production" division. It has facilities to produce half a million cars and trucks a month but it never has been as hard-pressed for parts and material as it is today. Navy Displays New Four Foot Pocket Engme By The Associated Press POMPTON PLAINS, N.J.-A new pocket-type engine which Navy spokesmen said was the first one built that would drive an airplane faster in level flight than the speed of sound had its initial public dem- onstration here today under Navy Department auspices. The power plant weighs 210 pounds less than the average automobile en- gine and operates on a mixture of liquid oxygen and alcochol. Its overall measurements are only about four feet in length and two feet in height. 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.
