;?Acm sI THE MICHIGAN DAILY _ ,. THURSDAY, OCTOBER S, 1953 JOURNALISM OPEN HOUSE: Foreign Newsmen Relate Journalistic Experiences Market ClubI To See FilmI i By HAROLD HORWITZ "The journalist will end up doing anything." This old French proverb quoted by Dutch Correspondent and Ful- bright scholar, Edmond Lachman, is indicative of the European and Asian attitude toward the journal- ism profession. SPEAKING at the journalism department open house last night, Lachman, along with four other foreign newspapermen studying at the University, gave accounts of his newspaper experiences. The correspondent of the Al- gemeen Handlesblad described his Job as a, grueling and diffi- cult one. He added however that the rewards are great because of the interesting people he meets. 4 1 -1 George Yackoub, editor of Al Shaab, a leading Baghdad daily, stated that his native city is far different from the popular movie versions. Despite many new im- provements, the city as a whole is greatly underdeveloped. Yackoub said that the newspa- pers in Baghdad lack the great amount of freedom that American newspapers have. "I could tell the national situa- tion by the pricenaf cigarettes stated Greek journalist Lefteri Adan. Adan, who was interned in a Nazi Concentration camp during the war, had no contact with the outside world except for a cigarette salesman who stood outside his jail window. "When the price, of cigarettes which was very inflated at the time dropped from a trillion to a billion, I knew the Allies were do- ing well."

Senior Pies Representatives from the 'Ensian will be on the "Diag" to sign up seniors who have not made arrangements for their senior pictures from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today. According to 'Ensian officials, those who have not already signed up for their pictures should do so immediately. i :; lRead and Use Daily Classifieds Major de Eeversky, who had much to do with the beginnings of aviation, claims that flying to the moon will only be a matter of 3 hours thanks to atomic-powered craft. Rockets are not practical, he says, betause the pilot cannot control the speed. THE ATOMIC plane will start relatively slowly and travel through the earth's atmosphere at a speed of 1 .000 to 2.000 miles pnr hour, tne author said. When clear of the atmos here, it will increase its speed to 130.000 miles per hour, then slow Down during the sec- ond half of the journey. Maj. de Seversky also predicts thc use of atoic- owered cormerc1'l planes, belicopters cheaper than i ay's lowest pric- ed car, and pilotless guided mis- siles traveling at supersonic speeds. Prof. William Liller of the as- tronomy denartment however not- ed several problems which must be solved before an attempt at the moon is made. COLLISION with interplanetaryj particles (such as meteors) is one important factor. Also to be con- sidered he pointed out will be the lack of air on the moon and theI extreme temperature variation which would make landing impos- sible. Prof. Liller, who has spent a year photographing shooting stars near the White Sands! Proving Grounds, said that atomic fuels would certanly be more convenient in space travel, since they take up less space and weight. Prof. Henry Gomberg of the electrical engineering department was also in agreement with the principles of Maj. de Seversky. However, Prof. Gomber, who is assistant director of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, is skeptical about the use of heli- DEAN RALPH SAWYER, of the; Rackham School of Graduate studies and director of the Michi- gan Memorial - Phoenix Project, said that atomic planes are, tech- nically possible, and that it is r- ther a question of whether such things are economically possible. "I hope that I never see the dayj when helicopters are as common as autos," he added. Prof. Wilbur Nelson of the aeronautical enineering de- partencnt prefered to look at Maj. de Seversky's statements from what he considered a more practical viewpoint. Prof. Nelson predicted the in- terlocking of transportation net- works through the use of helicop- ters. Helicouters now fly from downtown Detroit to down-town Chicago. A helicopter shuttle service is expected within aA few years link-' ing -downtown sections of large cities to suburban airports. A great deal of time and money is going into this work, he said. The trend in commercial air travel, he claimed, is to fly higher' and faster, the effect being a saf- er flight. Prof. Nelson feels that within five years the speed and al- titude of commercial planes will be doubled. However, he said that "at the present time it does not seem feasible to transport large numbers of people or freight at supersonic speeds." Houston To Speak On Stone Carving James A. Houston, Arctic rep- resentative of the Canadian Han- dicraft Guild, will speak at 4:15 p.m. today on "Eskimo Stone Car- vers" in Auditorium A, Angell Hall.
