SUNDAY, MAY 4, 1947 THE MICHIGAN DAILY I I EUROPE AN AUTHORITY: Onderdonk Will Discuss Preventionl Of Third Wr Dr. Francis Skillman Onder- donk, former faculty member in the architecture college, will dis- cuss"How To Prevent World War III" at 8 p.m. today in the Inter- national Center. Born in New York, Dr. Onder- donk went to live in Austria when he was ten years old. Although he. returned to this country in 1920, Dr. Onderdonk has returned to Europe every third year since his return. In August 1938, Dr. Onderdonk attended the International Co-n- ference at Pontigny, France, as the guest of Lord Davies. He is the owner of the only copy of the sound film "World Organization" now being exhib- ited in this country and frequent- ly includes it in his lectures. This film shows the League of Nations' successes in combatting epidem- ics and drug traffic. In the last two months of World' War I, Dr. Onderdonk worked as draftsman in the rebuilding of Gorizia on the Austro-Italian front, where he witnessed the col- lapse of the Hapsburg reign and the erection of a republic. An instructor in the architec- ture school from 1925 to 1933, Dr. Onderdonk is the author of "The Ferro-Concrete Style," 26 articles in architectural journmals, and many essays. Dr. Onderdonk has lectured be- fore architectural s o c i e t i e s throughout the country as well as at the leading schools of archi- tecture in the mid-western and eastern states. He has also spoken for the University Extension and Broadcasting Services. Dr. Onderdonk studied archi- tecture at the Imperial and Royal Technical Institute in Vienna, and Liberal Group Is Reactivated After 12 Years Levenstein To Sneak At Meeting of SLID The Student League for Indus- trial Democracy, which is cele- brating its reactivation this week- end, has returned to campus after a lapse of 12 years. An active student group until 1935, SLID then amalgamated with other campus organizations to form the American Student Union. SLID soon withdrew from the ASU; when that group- be- come dominated by the Commun- ist faction, according to Bill Gaim- zon, SLID publicity chairman. "Today we feel that liberal stu- dents on the University campus will welcome the return of an or- ganization not tied politically with any party, with a record of constructive and progressive lead- ership for the extension of democ- racy into our political, economic and cultural life," Gamzon stated. "We are trying to make de- mocracy 'a living reality in every aspect and reach of our common life'," he added, "and for this reason do not allow totalitarians such as racists, fascists or com- munists to join our organization." The SLID program calls for general education concerning so- cial control over public utilities and natural resources, democracy in social, political and individual aspects of race and religious re- lations, academic and political freedom for students and teach- efs, political and economic sup- port for those peoples who are resisting "both the totalitarian- ism of the right and the totali- tarianism of the left" and under- standing of the problems of labor. Local activities are aimed at the establishment of a Fair Employ- ment Practices Committee in Michigan, and the organization of a student cooperative cafeteria and bookstore. Aaron Levenstein, noted econ- omist, will speak on "Labor Looks to the Future" at 3 p.m. today in the Union. All students interested in SLID have been invited to at- tend. The talk will be followed by a discussion period.

The Monsanto company has in past years hired many University graduates in chemistry and chem- ical engineering. Miss Eugenie Mereness, secretary of the chem- istry department, yesterday re- ceived a letter from Dr. Robert M. Hitchens, Associate Director of Research in the organic chem- ical division of Monsanto's St. Louis plant, which cleared up all uncertainty as to whether there were any Michigan alumni in the disaster area. "Michigan was uniquely fortu- nate in that none of the Univer- sity graduates were at Texas City at the time of the explosion," he declared. There would be fewer strikes if industrial workers understood profits and the other facts of busi- ness life, Leith Powlison, vice- president of the Armstrong Cork Co., told the Michigan Cost Ac- countants Conference yesterday. "There is evidence that there is something seriously amiss with -the manner in which manage- ment shares information with its employes," Powlison declared. He commended management for its outstanding achievement in sol- ving the prolblems of production and distribution, and urged a similar effort to keep employes informed about the business of which they are a part. Financial statements sometimes give rise to misunderstanding, he said, because they are couched in accounting terminology, and are usually presented in pessimistic terms that provide for all possible adverse developments but not for any "favorable breaks." He also pointed out that man- agement has made a mistake by including in its reports to em- ployes "protestations of virtue" telling them how generously they have been treated. ' "The statements, plans and fig- ures of management must hang, together if confidence is to be established," he said. "It is gen- erally recognized that, whether right or wrong, employes feel that ability to pay is of determining influence with respect to wage rates. "It therefore beconmes necessary for management to recognize the necessity of making clear to emn- ployes whatever may appear to them to be extravagant or incon- sistent with the ability of man- agement to pay higher wages." There will always be differences New Staff Assistants Aid International Center Mrs. Kathleen Mead and Honer Underwood have joined the staff of the International Center asz assistants to the director. Mrs. Mead will be in charge of women's activities and Under- wood will serve as program con- sultant. i of opinion and objectives between people in politics, in religion and in business, Powlinson pointed out. "The solution to our industrial problems is not in eliminating such differences, but in finding a con- structive way to reconcile theim," he said. The real basis for industrial peace will be established when we have reached the point where everything can be discussed and all questions answered, he de- clared. Campus Briefs Russian Film.
