PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY 'States Rights' Stressed by Gov. Martin Independence Urged In Financial Affairs By The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY, May 27-The chief executives of the nation's states were urged today by Gov. Edward Martin of Pennsylvania to aid in decentralization of government byl "taking care of their own financial burdens." Martin, chairman of the Governors" Conference which opened here this morning with a message from Presi- dent Truman, declared: "The states can go a long way in bettering the financial condition of the federal government if they will assert their leadership by taking care of their own financial burdens. At the same time they can aid in the decentralization of the government." President Truman, who was un-1 able to address the conference be- cause the rail and coal situation kept him in Washington, telegraphed Gov. Robert S. Kerr of Oklahoma: "My message to you is an appeal to all to work together to maintain the authority of government, national, state and local." In his speech Gov. Martin outlined a 4-point program to be considered by the conference. "1) Balanced budgets and less ex- penditures for each level of govern- ment. "2) A tax plan where each level of government may have certain taxes earmarked for its use and have cer- tain functions to perform. "3) Elimination of duplication and over-lapping in government. "4) Every level of government, our school system, our labor, agricultural and business organizations, and our churches should assume certain re- sponsibilities. They should all teach willing obedience of laws and the de- crees of our courts, urge all to take a greater interest in government, up- hold the greatness and glory of America and insist that respect for the rights of others is a duty imposed upon us as good citizens." Engineering School Offers New Courses (Continued from Page 1) other topics discussed are fire retard- ant paint for ferrous surfaces, meth- ods of testing paints, thixatropy and cost of production. The laboratory course is designed to acquaint students with techniques used by manufacturers of organic or semi-organic coatings. This in- cludes the physical testing, manu- facture and analysis of paints, varn- ishes and lacquers. It is also concern- ed with color matching, pigments, and oils and synthetic resins. Field trips are included to give practical experience to the students. "We study finishes for houses, structural steel, automobiles and all kinds of structural finishing in these courses," Prof. Carrick said. "We are finding that a combination of red lead, zinc chromide and inerts makes a fine pigmentation for anti-corrosive paint to be used on steel. By varying the vehicle it may be used for total submersion exposure on steel ships or as paint on such steel structures as railroad bridges." If only one-fourth of the persons who have written to inquire about these new courses take them next fall we will have classes of 30, Prof. Car- rick predicted. Only those applying# early will get in, he added. Six stu- dents are now taking the course. Three are Chinese students who plan to enter the paint industry in China.

"It has been estimated that 18,000 professional librarians will be needed within the next few years. We have received job notices that amount to three jobs per graduate. Thus we may provide variety in types of work and frequently are able to place graduates in positions all over the world," he explained. The best preparation for a pros- pective librarian to have. he em- phasized, is a college education. Most large libraries require their employees to have a bachelor's degree and pre- ferably a specialty in the humanities, history, technology or a science, he explained.
