U
Nehru Pledges Cooperation
"But while giving that pledge I
want to make it perfectly clear
that we shall not cooperate in
ways of war. It is necessary that
the men and women of science
should also think about ways of
preventing their misuse and ex-
ploitation for these ends."
Scientists from the United
States, the United Kingdom, Can-
ada, France, Australia and China
attended the opening session. Rus-
sian delegates were en route.
An exhortation to the women of
India to be vigilant in order to en-
sure the incorporation of the
rights of women in the constitu-
tion of independent India was
made by Lady Dhanwanthi Rama
Rau, presiding at the 19th session
of the All India Women's Confer-
ence at Akola.
"Our progress will be consider-
ably encouraged materially and
psychologically when the state
acknowledges our right to equal
citizenship and categorically ac-
cepts the principle that no bar-
riers on the grounds of sex will
stand in the way of women's
growth and development in public
life," Lady Rama Rau declared.
Speaker Tells
Of Danger to
Teachers' Pay
System of School
Support Criticized
Despite the recent passage of
the second amendment to the
sales tax bill, teachers' salaries
still hang precariously in the bal-
ance, Clinton Fair, state repre-
sentative of the Michigan Federa-
tion of Teachers, declared yes-
terday.
Speaking before a meeting of
the Ann Arbor chapter of the
American Federation of Teachers,
Fair pointed out that the danger
existed because the state of Mich-
igan has never officially designat-
ed a real proportion between state
and local support to the schools.
Now that the state is providing
more money, cuts might come 10-
cally, Fair explained.
The teachers' retirement fund
is also in danger because insuf-
ficient appropriations from the
legislature makes it actuarily un-
sound, Fair said. At least seven
to eight million dollars is needed
for the fund which now consists
of three million dollars, he stated.
Teachers have placed themselves
in a position dependent on state
grants for a retirement fund be-
cause of their refusal to be in-
cluded in the federal social secur-
ity plan at the time it was being
proposed, Fair maintained.
Fair disclosed that the Federa-
tion of Teachers was establishing
a lobby in Lansing to work just
like all the other lobbies there,
"a dirty job, but necessary."

Papa Is All'
Laird Schmidt, '47, will play the
leading role in "Papa Is All," a
comedy by Patterson Greene, to bej
presented at 8 p.m. Thursday and
Saturday in the West Lodge Audi-j
torium.
The cast will also include Jose-
phine James, in the part of Mama,
Edmond Johnson as Jake, Mar-
garet Wrobleski as Emma, Marion
Emerson as Mrs. Yoder, and Walti
Shaffer as State Trooper Bren-
dle.
The New York Times says of the
play: "What he (Patterson
Greene) has written is a popular
comedy with a funny plot and
background of Mennonite man-
ners. Since he has done his job in
workmanlike fashion-the sub-
scribers can look forward to a
well-bred lark in a folksy style that
seems almost to have dropped out
of the theatre. The whole thing
looks as easy as rolling off a log.
which is part of the pleasure of
seeing it. Taking one thing with
another, 'Papa Is All' is a lot of
fun."
10 Give Lecture Thursday
Village Group John Mason Brown, Author,
Will Present x ~-m
John Mason Brown, author,
critic and lecturer, will give the
fifth address in the 1946-47 Ora-
torical Association lecture series
at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill
Auditorium.
Brown, who is at present an
associate editor of the Saturday
Review of Literature, has served
as drama critic for the Theatre
Arts Monthly, the New York Ev-
ening Post and the New York
World Telegram. He has for years
had the reputation of predicting
correctly more hits and flops than
any other Broadway critic.
Harvard Graduate
When he graduated from Har-
vard, where he, studied drama
under the late George Pierce Ba-
ker, he had his choice of becoming
an actor, director or critic. Al-
though he eventually chose the
latter profession, he has not neg-
lected his other theatrical talents.
Brown has lectured on the his-
tory of the theatre at the Uni-
versity of Montana, Middlebury
College, the Breadloaf Writers'
Conference, Harvard, and the
American Laboratory Theatre. He
has also given courses in the his-
tory of theatrical criticism in the
Department of Drama at Yale.
Popular Books
He is the author of many pop-
ular books, the most recent of
which, "Seeing Things," published
last fall, bears the same title as
his lecture here. "Accustoied As
I Am," based on his own experi-
ence as a lecturer, reveals "those
perils of the platform which make
public speaking the hazardous oc-
cupation it is."
William Lyon Phelps has called
Brown "one of the best lecturers
in the United States."
Two other recent works, "To
All Hands" and "Many a Watch-
ful Night," bring to life his ex-
periences as a naval officer on
active duty during the war.

In 1570 word had not yet fil-
tered back to England that there
were any lakes in the area. It took
geographers a couple of centuries
to get the Great Lakes on their
maps in anything like their right
proportions, and then they put
Lake Michigan parallel to Lake
Superior.
Right up to 1846 the state was
thought to be triangular, but the
building of railroads resulted in
more comprehensive surveying,
which revealed the shape of. the
lower peninsula to be that of a
mitten.
