Tradition Set
19 Years Ao
To Continue
This year's Religion in Life
Week follows a tradition set in
February, 1931, when a "Religious
Emphasis Week" was held - and
at which it was predicted that
"universal religion was on the
horizon,"andeatomicwenergy was
discussed.
The tradition was revived with
last year's Religion in Life Week.
LAST YEAR'S programs includ-
ed a large battery of well-known
speakers from the clergy and other
fields, among them T. Z. Koo, ad-
visor to the Chinese delegation to
the 1945 San Francisco conference
and George P. Gilmour, chancel-
lor of McMaster University in On-
tario.
Mrs. Vera Smith Lowrie, a
sociologist and Prof. Joseph Sit-
tier of the Chicago Theological
Seminary were among the other
speakers.
Rev. Kiyoshi Tanimoto, a sur-
vivor of the Hiroshima A-bomb
explosion and founder of the
Hiroshima Peace Association and
Raymond John Seegar, a physicist
who worked on the Bikini A-bomb
testsspoke on the implications of
the A-bomb.
SUBJECTS of the 1931 Religious
Emphasis Week ranged from "The
Mastery of Fear" to a prophetic
discussion of atomic power.
It was President James King
of Olivet College who spoke on
the subject of fear. And Allynj
K. Foster, a Baptist lecturer
spoke on atomic energy.
He "brought out the wonder and
divine significance of atomic
structure and emphasized the
point that as the atom draws its
energy from some vast reservoir
of physical power, so the human
spirit can get in touch with an im-
measurable source of divine pow-
er-,
Other talks were given on "The
Striking Personalities of Modern
Germany," by Harry N. Holmes of
the World Alliance for Interna-
tional Friendship, and the noted
humanist Curtis W. Reese on "Can
a Scientist be a Churchman?"
Fred B. Smith, moderator of
the National Council of Congre-
gational Churches, predicted that
universal religion was on the hori-
zon.

1936.
Commenting on Franco Spain's
chances of becoming a free state
by the United Nations, Miss
Thompson remarked: ". . . a gen-
uinely free Spain cannot be cre-
ated by the UN, because the in-
terests of the great powers cross
in the Mediterranean. That hope,
like many others, is a casualty of
the destruction of the Atlantic
Charter."
Miss Thompson holds seven
honorary degrees from colleges
in the United States and Canada
and is an honorary member of
Phi Beta Kappa.
A reception will be held in her
honor after her talk in Lane Hall.

Books Sought
To Aid Ferris
A call for books to re-stock the
library of burned-out Ferris In-
stitute has already brought a large
number of used books into the do-
nation pile at the General Library,
according to director Warner G.
Rice.
"At the present rate we should
be able to treble our donation
goal," Prof. Rice said.
He urged all who wished to
contribute books to bring them
in as soon as possible.
The institute is well on its way
to recovering from the disastrous
fire which swept campus build-
ings three weeks ago, according
to Prof. Rice who visited the
school recently.
Classes are being held in the
Alumni Building and army surplus
wooden barracks have been taken
over for library and bookstore
facilities.
More than 1,000 students are
attending the school, specializ-
ing in business administration,
pharmacy and education.
Officials hope to resume classes
this week and with the help of
greater state aid and donations
of equipment from other Michigan
schools, carry on its 66 year tra-
dition.
Known to American audiences
principally as a symphony con-
ductor Fritz Reiner gained wide
acclaim in opera as well.
STARTING HIS opera direction
career as a singing coach at his
native Budapest opera, he filled in
as director of "Carmen" at 18,
when the regular director became
ill.
"It was sink or swim," Reiner
said. . . . "I swam."
He soon became a conductor
in Budapest, then director of
the Dresden Opera and an au-
thority on Wagner, Richard
Strauss and Mozart.
After Reiner conducted his first
"Salome" he won the admiration
of the composer Richard Strauss
whose "Frau ohne Schatten" he
was first to perform.
IN 1922 Reiner arrived in the
United States to take over the
Cincinnati Symphony and give it
nine of the best years of its life.
Between 1938 and the spring
of 1948, while he moulded the
Pittsburgh Symphony into a
major-league orchestra, he ap-
peared as guest conductor of vir-
tually all the leading orchestras
of the country.
Reiner is well known to the pub-
lic through radio, recordings and
his movie appearance in "Carnegie
Hall." At tomorrow's concert,
Reiner will direct works by Wag-
ner, Beethoven, Cassella and
Schumann.
A limited number of tickets are
still available at the offices of the
University Musical Society, Bur-
ton Tower.

State Faced With $90,000,000 Deficit;
Gov. Williams Proposes Corporate Tax
By RON LINTON
(Of Our Lansing Bureau)
LANSING-Where to get $90
million dollars?
That is the $90 million question
members of the Senate Finance
and House Ways and Means Com-
mittees are asking each other.
State lawmakers on the two
committees are now in their sec-
ond week of trying to prepare ap-
propriation bills which they hope
to have ready when the entire leg-
islature convenes March 15.
* * * .
ROUGHLY the problem is this:
Gov. G. Mennen Williams
wants to spend $320,000,000. But
the estimated revenue this year
is only $230,000,000. Result is a
$90 million deficit.
Leaders of both parties agree
that the state cannot have a $90
million deficit but they don't agree
,n how to prevent it.
DEMOCRATS SAY the only
thing to save the day is a new
corporations profit tax.
Republicans say less spending
and tighter tax collection meth-
ods will do the trick.
Of course both parties agree
that less diversion on the sales
tax will solve the problem also,
and some Republicans are calling
for a change in the sales tax law.
BUT THE length of time it
would take and the process neces-
sary to change this law makes it
obvious to even the layman that
this would never help out this year.I
And this is the important year.
The state has a -balance left
from last year totaling a little
over S90 million.
This $90 million not only has
been eaten up but some $12 to $16
Aromatic Reading
Rooms 'o Say
million that the state hasn't got
will be spent.
In other words the State of
Michigan is in the red.
* 4 *
THIS THEN is the situation
that committeemen on the House
Ways and Means Committee and
Senate Finance Committee are
grappling with at the present
time.
The committees are consider-
ing everything short of new
taxes to prevent the deficit.
They say the people back home
are violently opposed to any
corporation tax and that a legis-
lator would be committing polit-
ical suicide if he voted for such
a bill.
Gov. Williams met with mem-
bers of both committees recently
in the state supreme court cham-
bers. At that time Williams at-
tempted to explain the financial
picture from the administration
side.
* * *
ONE COMMITTEEMAN asked
J-Hop Pictures
All remaining J-Hop pictures
may be picked up at a photo-
graphy shop at 636 S. State St.,
according to Joan Broomfield of
the J-Hop committee.
Williams if he would request the
legislature to pass the highly con-
troversial corporation tax. The
governor declined to comment.
"I cannot tell you about a tax
program until we know exactly
what the anticipated revenues
will be," Williams said. "The es-
timate of revenues is preliminary
and not official."
It is interesting to note here
that in the third section of the
budget released by the governors
office last week the governor said:
"I will recommend a corporation
profits tax at a rate sufficient to
meet these and other needs."
CAPITOL political observers
look at Williams failure to recom-
mend a specific tax rate on cor-
porations, such as the 4% he rec-
ommended last year, as a conces-
sion to Republicans.
They point out that if Wil-
liams can convince the GOP that
they are setting the tax the Re-
publicans might do it. The one
catch is that the tax question
would become a confused onefor
campaigning purposes since both
parties could claim it was theirs.
However, these same observers
feel that Williams campaign for
reelection will be on the "Welfare
State" issue.
