THE MICHIGAN DAILY STICKING TOGETHER: Telephone Strikers Deplore Decision To Bargain Locally 4 U' Committee Government Requests Ieterans Asks Support To Report Souvenir Weapons .rte ur 1111 af_.LL DW By ARTHUR HIGBEE I Still in good spirits after 31 days on strike, four women telephone employes and one construction! man picketing in front of the local office of the Michigan Bell Tele- phone Company held that the un- seasonable snow made for "good brisk weather." They were less cheerful, how- ever, about the decision of the Na- tional Federation of Telephone Workers to turn negotiations over to local unions. This was a mis- take, the construction man said, adding that "the national union is like a bundle of sticks. We're Pro grams .*. (Continued from Page 1) programs," Prof. Abbot said. "Chil- dren want murder and sudden death, as is shown by the fact that more children than adults listen to this type of program." Complain to Advertisers If parent-teacher groups want to do something about objection- able programs they should com- plain to the advertisers rather than the broadcasters, Prof. Abbot de-, Glared. The increasing importance of FM radio, in which stations owned by schools play a promient part, will probably force the commercial sponsors to improve the quality of their children's programs in order to compete with the educational stations for listening audience, Prof. Abbot said. trong only when we stick to- gether." Dislike Wage eI'VasIct None of them liked the prospect :a $2 to $4 wage increase. "It's not enough," one of the women op- erators said. "With living costs he way they are now, we need at least $6." Some of the operators have taken part-time jobs, one of the women said, "and some are work- ing full time. But everyone is tak- ing his turn on the picket line." Cable-cutting was unanimously condemned by the picketers. "We ion't know who's doing it," one of them said, "but it's just a blot on Decriies Proposal In a telephone conversation Earl C. Quackenbush, chairman of local 301's strike committee, told The Daily that "settlement on the basis of a $2 to $4 wage increase would make Michigan telephone workers a very unhappy bunch." He added that one of the local workers had told him that if the strike is settled on this basis, "we'd better start saving now for next year's strike fund." Campus Groups To Discuss NSO Representatives from all campus organizations have been asked to attend the meeting of the Stu- dent Legislature's Student Or- ganizations Committee at 4 p.m. today in Rm. 308 of the Union. The Committee will discuss its function in relation to the Legis- lature and to the National Student Organization. CONTRACT ENDS PHONE STRIKE IN FIVE STATES-Gov. Luther W. Youngdahl of Minnesota (seated) hands a pen to Roy Anderson, president of Northwestern Union of Telephone workers, to sign a new wage contract in St. Paul, Minn., in the presence of Leonard Johnson (left) state labor conciliator, and J.

CANDY FTS GI LBERTS WH ITMANS GOBEL IN SCHRA HAIRBRUSHES COLOGNE PERFUME BODY POWDER STATIONERY 366 Students Are Awarded Scholarships Names of 366 recipients of the Regents-Alumni Scholarships for 1,47-48 have been announced by Erich A. Walter, director of the Office of Student Affairs and chairman of the scholarship com- mittee. The scholarships, providing for payment of semester fees for a stu- dent's freshman year at the Uni- versity, are awarded to Michigan high school graduates on the basis of high school scholarship, leader- ship qualifications and the desire for higher education. "Successful scholarship per- formance will permit renewal of the scholarship through sopho- more, junior and senior years," Walter said. He pointed out that a number of students honored at the recent Honors Convocation were Regents-Alumni scholars. The purpose of the scholarships is to help the development of lead- ership and productive citizensship in all parts of Michigan. Walter emphasized that at least one scholarship is available for every accredited high school in the state. Festival... , (Continued from Page 1) it has had many renowned con- ductors: Friz Scheel, Carl Pohlig, Leopold Stokowski and Ormandy. Direction of the orchestra dur- ing the Festival will be shared by Eugene Ormandy and the associ- ate conductor, Alexander Hilsberg. Ormandy, who will conduct the first, fourth and fifth concerts, has been head of the orchestra since the stait of the 1938-1939 season. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1899, Ormandy began violin stud- ies when a little over three years old. He concluded his studies un- der the famous Hubay and earned his professorship in music at 17. He concluded several concert tours before coming to the United States in 1921. By FRANK HARMON , The application of a new tech- nique in preparing organic cell components for study with tne electron microscope, and observa- tion of chromosomes in their min- ute resting stage - both of which may aid cancer research - have been performed successfully by a University geneticist, Prof. Wil- liam Hovanitz, of the botany de- partment. Isolation and drying of chromo- somes with a minimum of distoir- tion of their normal shape - a critical procedure - constitutes this latest development in the study of cell material at magnifi- cations greater than those possibie with the ordinary light micro- scope. This represents one of the first successful attempts to study chromosomes which have been separated from their cells. Isolat- ing the chromosomes from the cell and its nucleus is done by the phy- sical method of fragmentation and "differential centrifugation," for example, by breaking the cell down, whirling its contents at high speeds in a salt solution and separating the various parts. The chromosomes are isolated in the salt solution to preserve their natural character until they are prepared for drying. After this step, the particles are mounted on the fine screens used, for electron microscope preparations and their images are observed on a fluores- cent screen. Wide application of the techni- que is seen by Prof. Hovanitz in biological and medical research for the study of the minute cell structure, both normal and ab- normal, of animals and plants. He believes that the method may be of great value in investigating the nature of cancer and other diseases affecting mankind. In a research project which he has been carrying on for several months, chicken red blood cells and mice liver cells secured from colonies of these animals housed in various laboratories of the Uni- versity, were used. Prof. Hovanitz presented the results of his research in a paper which he delivered last Thursday before the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. Kilborn Wins Speech Finals Paul C. Kilborn, '50, took first place in the freshman public speaking contest yesterday with a five-minute talk on "Racial In- tolerance." Other participants were Dorothy Fogel, whose topic was "An Ex- periment in International Educa- tion"; Merton J. Segal, who spoke on "Trieste - the Gem of the Adriatic"; and Lewis W. Towler, whose subject was "A Mighty For- tress Is Our God." Sponsored by the speech de- partment, the competition was judged by Rollin W. Quimby, Ar- chie McNeal Thomas, Jr., and Ralph E. Mead, instructors. Quim- by was chairman of the contest. The four contestants were chos- en at the preliminary event last Thursday. SECRETS OF THE CELL: New Chromosome Findings May Aid in Cancer Research ' F or m undt DBt Three Point Cultural Program Is Outlined The University Committee on Intercultural Relations, at a meet- ing yesterday took action to re- quest the support of Senator Ar- thur H. Vandenberg and Repre- sentative Earl C. Michener for continuation of the State Depart- ment's cultural relations program., The Mundt Bill, now before the House, would give legal status to the cultural relations program, and would pave the way for an appro- priation financing the program. Committee Action The University Committee's ac- tion was limited to three points. It supported continued appoint- ment of cultural attaches to vari- ous countries where such officials are now. The Committee urged support for the maintenance of libraries of information about the United States in cultural centers. Interchange of Persons Continuation of the program of interchange of persons, students and leaders between the United States and other countries was re- quested by the Committee. Opinion was expressed by the Committee that there should be no question about continuing these three phases of the program since they have already proven success- ful. The University has been active in the exchange of students, scien- tists and educators with other countries. Faculty Service Several faculty members, Dean Hayward Keniston of the literary college, Prof. Irving Leonard of the Romance Language depart- ment, Prof. Dudley Phelps and others, have served as cultural at- taches or lecturers, particuarly in South American countries. The action of the Committee parallels similar recommendations made at the Conference of For- eign Student Advisors held the end of April in Chicago. Senior Class Dues Literary college seniors have been requested by the class offi- cers to turn in or mail their class dues to Barbara Raymer, 407 In- galls. The dues of $1 are used to pur- chase the class gift and to set up the basis for the Class of '47 alumni funds. Buy and Hold U. S.SavingsBonds!
