Thomas Illustrates Scientific
Basis of Electronic Principles
"No magic" was the key phrase last
night as Dr. Phillips Thomas, re-
search engineer of the Westinghouse
Electric Corporation presented a
striking demonstration of various
principles and applications of elec-
tronics in Rackham Lecture Hall.
Reviewing the research that led
finally to present-day radio, Dr.
Thomas pointed out that the length
of time required to develop radio
might have been shortened consider-
ably if it were not true that "we are
all as lazy mentally as we dare to be."
Too many scientists, he said, are
prone to relax their efforts after they
have achieved only part of the final
goal.
The prowess of the photoelectric
cell was visibly demonstrated as Dr.
Thomas regulated his floodlights by
flashlights and lighted matches.
Equally effective was a sensitive con-
trol device developed by Dr. Thomas
himself that responds to the human
breath.
With the cooperation of members
of the audience, Dr. Thomas showed
how the human voice is transmitted
on a beam of light. He also showed
how the stroboscope can make a rap-
idly revolving propeller appear to
stand still.
In a Daily interview, Dr. Thomas
declared that radar devices, now in
use in air and sea travel, will even-
tually be adopted also for land trans-
portation. He said that, to the best
of his knowledge, airplanes involved
in recent crack-ups were either not
equipped with radar or their pilots
had not been instructed in the correct
use of radar.
"We are now working on a method
for modulating radar, much as radio
is modulated," he said, "but so far we
have not been very successful."
Scientific Societies
Plan To Meet Here
For the first time in seven years,
the annual combined meetings of
the Central States Branch of the
American Anthropological Associa-
tion and the Society for American
Archaeology will be held in Ann Ar-
bor, Prof. Volney H. Jones, of the
Museum of Anthropology, announced
yesterday.
The scientific and business meet-
ings will take place on or about May
16 and 17, Prof. Jones said, and will
probably be held in the Rackham
3uilding. The scientific part of the
meeting will include reports on re-
search, theoretical contributions and
articles of general interest; the busi-
ness meetings will consist of such
matters as election of officers, reso-
lutions, and the treasurer's report.

Annual Smoker
Is Presented by'
Sigma Rho Tau
"Wranglers Roundup" the annual
smoker of Sigma Rho Tau, engin-
eering speech society was held Tues-
day night. ,
The outstanding event of the even-
ing was a talk by Prof. Robert H.
Sherlock, of the civil engineering de-
partment. His topic was "The Prob-
lem of the Young Engineer and the
Labor Union."
The smoker was attended by more
than 120 people, Prof. Robert Brack-
ett, director of Sigma Rho Tau, told
the new members about the organi-
zation, its purpose, aims and the
annual events that are held..
The date of the exchange speakers
with the University of Detroit and
the Detroit Institute of Technology
was announced and an outline of the
scheduled debates with the Junior
Colleges of this vicinity was drawn
up.
The new members signed up for
the tentative circles they would join
next week and the circles will choose
the subjects for discussion at the
next meeting, Tuesday at the Union.
Anti-Lynch Group

bor citizens to join the American

Manuscripts
To Be Shown
On Microfilm
Microfilm copies of irreplaceable
English historical and literary man-
uscripts and facilities for viewing
them are soon to be made available
to University research students.
War-born plans drawn up by the
American Council of Learned So-
cieties in 1940 call for negative cop-
ies of the documents, most of them
dating to between 1100 and 1600,
to be deposited in the Library of
Congress and positive copies in the
University's General Library.
When photography and catalog-
ing are complete, Michigan will pos-
sess the nation's only complete col-
lection of these documents accord-
ing to Miss Frances Hamman, who is
in charge of filing the University's
copies.
A special film room, equipped with
six reading machines will be made
available to any research student de-
siring to view the films.
'Tie complete collection, which at
present contains over 5,000 manu-
script copies, will provide access to
material previously available only
in England. The project is also de-
signed to provide against loss of the
priceless collection.
Other important microfilm col-
lections at the General Library in-
clude foreign scientific journals,
some early American periodicals, and
books printed before 1660.
Cooperative League
Chairman To Speak
Jerry Smith, of Michigan State
College, newly elected chairman of
the NorthAmerican Student Coop..
erative League, will speak on "Stu-
dent Co-operatives on a National
Scale," at 8:15 p.m. Friday, at the
Robert Owen Co-op, 1017 Oakland.
The Co-op League which Smith
heads, was formed this summer by
representatives from six regional
cooperative wholesalers, National
Cooperatives Inc., and the Coopera-
tive League of the U.S.A. to unify the
campus cooperative movements
throughout the country.
The meeting, which will be fol-
lowed by an informal discussion of
the student cooperative movement, is
open to all interested students.

Lawyers Guild
Will Sponsor
FEPC Petition
The University Chapter of the Na-
tional Lawyers Guild at its meeting
yesterday in the Union pledged sup-
port of the FEPC petition formu-
lated by the Detroit chapter of the
Guild.
Morton Lietson, newly elected
chairman of the chapter, announced
that elections were held for the exe-
cutive offices of the chapter for the
forthcoming term in addition to the
FEPC petition approval.
W. Lester Griffin has been chosen
as vice-chairman, Mary Elizabeth
Spivey, secretary, and Chaire Sher-
man, treasurer, Lietson disclosed.
"We intend to back the Detroit
chapter's petition and to aid in pro-
curing the necessary signatures here
in Washtenaw county," he added.
The FEPC petition, designed to
safeguard the civil rights of minority
groups and to promote fair employ-
ment practices by legislation, will be
circulated by the Guild for a month
after the day following elections in
an effort to secure a majority of sig-
natures. If they receive the requisite
number of signatures,. the petition
automaticalay goes before the state
legislature for a vote. If the bill is
defeated there, it is placed upon the
ballot for the next election; if it
is passed, it becomes law.
Several other states have already
passed such legislation.
The Guild will also sponsor five or
six lectures by nationally known in-
dividuals throughout the school year,
Lietson stated.
Play Production of thespeech de-
partment will open the season Oct.

comedies ever to be offered either by
professional or amateur groups.
The local production will get under
way at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 30, with per-
formances nightly until Nov. 2. Tick-
ets may be obtained Oct. 28 in the
theatre box office with mail orders
being received before that date.
Hilarous to the final curtain, "Both
Your Houses" tells of the honest ef-
forts of a newly elected Representa-
tive at Washington which are direct-
ted towards combating raids on the
National Treasury by the appropria-
tions committee. Facing the boos of
his fellow Congressmen, and as a last
resort, our legislator drafts a ridi-
culous bill, which to his amazement,
is passed.
Threatened with exposure of their
crooked methods, the old-time party
leader feels "That it will blow over.
As a matter of fact, the natural
resources of this country in political
apathy and indifference have hardly
been touched. They won't get me.
No-I don't hardly expect it in my
time."
