Albert C. Ritchie tonight said in a formal statement tht a camp fori the bonus expeditignary force in Ann Arundel- country hear Waterberry,] "is totally impracticable and should not be established." Have Received Transportation I The governor's statement was: s "Maryland treated these men witht every consideration while they were here; fed them and transported them to Pennsylvania, where they wanted; to go. Maryland will continue to re- spect every right of any of the men- who are now in this state or who. nay come here, and both as a peo- ple and as a state we will show our sympathy and helpfulness in every way. But to permit a settlement to be established along the line sug- gested raises other questions. "It all sounds very utopian, but certain practical things must not be over-looked. ''In the first place the proposed ste is totally unsuitable for the pur- pose. I have had it inspected by the state health department. It is prin- cipally ;" crub woodland, with no a riculture upon it possible. No food o any kind. Nothing like an ade-t quate water supply, and of course no sewerage facilities. No group couldt earn a livelihood or sustain them- selves on that land, and health and sanitation would be seriously menac- ed. Would be Charity Objects " our own Maryland people are suffering sadly from the effect of the depression, wart and unemployment. We cannot be expected to accept in 'cur midst an organized body of men, who do not belonk here, and whot would certainly defeat the object oft public charity, and at a time whenv we will . have, to strain every energyt and tax every resource to care for our own people. "Under these conditions the set- tlement is totally impractical and should not be estabished' "Whether the meiX can be prevent- ed froi coming into Maryland withz the intention of settling here mayt involve legal questions. The attor-i ney general is giving that considera-{ tion. Butthere is no doubt what ther situation of the men would be if they did settle here." University Karanisi Excavations to Be Continued in Fall. University excavation at Karanis, Egypt, will be continued next year, it was announced after a meeting ofl the University of Michigan Institute of Archeological Research yesterday afternoon. President Ruthven returned from his summer home in Frankfort, Mich., to attend the rieeting at which Enoch E. Peterson, director of the excavations, wa's also present. Thej budget for the coming year was pre-, sented to the Institute and approved by them. Plans for research on the campus in connection with the Insttiute were also discussed at the meeting but the exact nature of the projects were not revealed. Director Peterson left Ann Arbor last night but wyill not return to Egypt until the end of August. Prof. A. E, R. Boak, who was with the ex- pedition last 4ear, will stay here. Students Ready to Fight Forest Fires Near Camp CAMP FILIBERT ROTH, Aug. 1.- (Special)-Students at the Univer- sity of Michigan forestry camp here are holding themselves in readiness for a call to fight fire on the neigh- boring Hiawatha National ,Forest lands or on state holdings. One large forest fire and several small ones have occurred within a few miles of the camp during the past two weeks in spite of the rainy- weather. By PROF. R. 1. WELf The great German Reichstag elec- tion of July 31 is at last over. As the smoke (perhaps one should say "gas") lifts from the political battle- field, it becomes possible to survey the results of the struggle. Although the Hitlerites and their allies will control 45 per cent of the seats in the new parliament, they failed/ to secure an absolute majority, thus verifying the general prediction. The number of National Socialists in the Reichstag has been increased from 101 to 22.9. This is a truly remark- able gain but it was somewhat offset by the fact that it was largely made at the expense of the other parties of the Right such as the Nationalists andI the People's Party. The Center Party undr Bruening and the Bavarian People's- Party, which is likewise Catholic, secured nine addi- tional representatives. One of the upsets of the election was the sr- prising rise in the representation of the Communist Party,- from 77 to 89. Since the Social Democrats lost ten seats,, it is probable that the Communists were the chief benefi- ciaries from the Socialist losses. About 83 per cent of the registered voters went to the polls.. This is the same ratio that prevails in the sec- Hart-Kaufman Movie Parody On Tomorrow Advance Sale of Tickets Keeps Staff Busy; Is Sixth Production Advance order for "Oice in' a Lifetime," the take-off on the mo- tion pictu're industry, kept workers busy yesterday in the box office of the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre. Written by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, who wrote "Of Thee I Sing," Pulitzer prize drama, "Once in a Lifetime" is the sixth production of the Michigan Repertory Players. It opens a four-day r'un Wednesday night. Of this satire on the talkies, one dramatic critic is quoted as saying, 'our only objection to the play is that it is so chuck full of witticisms that the laughs overlap and of times we must smother a chuckle in order to hear the next Wisecrack." The play concerns itself with three members of a vaudeville act, May, Jerry and George, who join the gold rush to Hollywood when, the talkie rage starts. ,May opens up a voice culture school. Jerry is the business manager and George, dumb at every- thing, decides the easiest thing to do is to become. a technician. Of course, authors Hart and Kaufman say, nothing\ rubs according to schedule in Hollywood, and just to keep the truth of this statement, George is made an executive-director of the great industry. What happens after that is nothing but laughs. A cast of 0 heads the play, led by Herbert Milliken, Harry Allen, Wil- liah Butler, Elizabeth Keller, Mil- dred Burlison, Lawrence Levy, and others. Tickets may be secured at the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre boxy of- fice. ,Wells Criticizes King George for His Policy OXFORD, Eng., Aug. 1.-(A)- Criticism of the King for 'the part he played in the formation of the Na- tional Government last year was ex- pressed this afternoon by H. G. Wells in an address at the Oxford Literal Summer School. Such criticism is most infrequent in Great Britain. The auditors re- ceived it in dead silence. "The King was so ill-advised as to depart from his proper political and social neutrality and to lead the movement for cheese paring and grinding the faces of the needy in the interest of the debt collector," Mr. Wells said, "and not a soul in the Labor Party said what ought to have been said aboutthehKing or the miserable campaign of unintelligible economy which cast its dismal sha- Olow over the closing months of 1931." When the National Government was formed the story was widely current that the King had prevailed on Ramsay MacDonald to head it. Brinkman and Christian. To Give Recital Tonight The School of Music has invited ond presidential election last April. It is below the vote in the first presi- dential election of March which to- taled 86.2 per cent. In actual num- ber of ballots cast, Hitler's vote in the second presidential election was almost identical with that which his party received on Sunday. News-' paper reports speak of from 27 to 62 parties contesting in the Reich- stag election. Most of these were the so-called "splinter parties" and the real contest was between the six ma- jor groups-the National Socialists, Center P a r t y, Bavarian People's Party, Social Democrats, and Com- munist. A ten day's truce has been declared following the election in order to al- lows political passions to cool off. According to the constitution, the new Reichstag must assemble within 30 days of the election. The forma- tion of a new cabinet able to com- mand the confidence of the legisla- ture is likely to involve protracted negotiations and may prove an utter impossibility. Neither the groups of the Right nor those of the Left have enough to command a majority. As usual, Bruening and the Catholics occupy the key position. How far" Bruening and Hitler will be willing to work with each other remains to be seen. It is conceivable that the von Papen cabinet will be made over so as to include some National So- cialists. Such a Right Coalition might be able to function for a time with the "neutrality" of the Center1 Party, just as the Bruening cabinet depended upon the neutrality of the Social Democrat. The Center would thus act as a check upon the Right and at least the form of parliament-y ary government would be preserved. South Adopts New Attitude, On Education' Pr~fessionalization Now i ,Advancing in Schools, Bachnan Says A review of the professionalization1 of state departments of education in southern states was presented by Dr.1 Frank Bachman, director of surveysi of the Georie Peabody College for Teachers, yesterday in a 2 o'clock lecture before the education school. Dr. Bachman found that in 29] states the chief of state officers were elected by the people, in ten states the tem of office was fixed at two years, four states linited the salary; to $2,000 and many frequently de- fined the duties so as to make mod- ernization difficult if not impossible. At present, he declared, state su-1 perintendents are selected in 33 states by popular election, in seven by the governor, in eight by state boards. "Conditions in the south are gen- erally favorable to the development of strong departments of education," Dr. Bachman said. "Everything is comparatively new. There were no professional courses in the state Uni- versities prior to 1903, and the nor- mal schools were not established until after 1900. "Until 1910, there was no profes- sional spirit manifested. Then te supervision of elementary schools was taken over by the state and there has' been an increasing tendency to- ward professionalism. In 1918, state supervisors of secondary education were appointed, and in 1920, super- visors of school house construction. Divisions of research were added in 1922 with the result that schools have been increasingly administered on a professional basis. "The whole tendency has been to develop state-wide programs of edu- cation and for the supervisors to get away froni dealing with the indi- vidual. The difference between the political leadership in educational af- fairs and professional has been that the latter' has interested groups in bettering their local conditions by interest in educational movements and not in petty affairs." McClusky to Address Education Parley Today Prof. Howard Y. McClusky, of the education school, will address the 4 o'clock education conference today in University High school auditorium on "A Prophecy of the New Teacher." Dr. Frank P. Bachman, director of surveys of the George Peabody Col- lege for Teachers, will speak at the 2 o'clock lecture on "Reorganization Washington U. To Adopt Two Semester Plan Decision to Abolish Four Quarter System Final of Series of Changes Schools Combined Into Four Big Units President Says Reo-gani- zation Will Eventually Aid Professional Studies SEATTLE, AUG. 1.-(Special)- Adoption of the two semester sys- tem in place of the old four quarter division of the school year in the fall of 1933 will climax a long series of drastic innovations which ,are in- tended to revise completely the or- ganization of the University of Wash- ington here. The change to the semester sys- tim, according to Dr. M. Lyle Spen- cer, president of the university, is not primarily an economy move but rather a development toward 'a new educational concept. Theaideal be- hind the whole movement, he said, is to bring the art's and sciences into their proper prespective. Make Other Cbnages Other changes in line with this development have been adopted re- cently by the board of regents. They are: Combination of the 13 schools and colleges into four units; provision for only three elementary degrees, bache- lor of arts, bachelor of scienceaand bachelor of laws; elimination of in- significant and "snap" courses; re- striction of extra-curricular activi- ties, such as/ athletics; and *ubstitu- tion of hygiene classes for men's and women's physical education courses. While' the reorganization will min- imize trade and professional courses for the benefit of cultural subjects, the plan will tend eventually to strengthen rather than weaken pro- fessional studies, Dr. Spencer be- lieves. The new system aims to teach the student to live rather than mere-- ly to make a living, he said. Commenting editorially on the plan, the University of Washington Journal, undergraduate newspaper, declared that "there can be little dis- pute as to the advantages of the reorganization." Want Six-Week Summer School Branding the four quarter system as "distracting and unsatisfactory to the conscientious student," the stu- dent paper asserted that the system "enables an inferior type of student, by a judicious selection of miniature courses, to graduate." The Journal also proposed a six or eight week summer session to "create summer school courses of real and lasting value." Rats Learn Things Backward, States Prof. J. F.

Yes1eyday's games, the last of the series, were played at Pleasant Lake on the occa- sion of the annual Men's Education club picnic. Schutt proved the winner in a pitcher's battle over Bekken, star moundsman of the Principal's aggre- gation. In the other game of the lay, the Faculty routed the Teachers in a slugfest, 24-10. Dr. Purdom, hurler for the Faculty, was not able to at- tend, but Hess won the game handi- ly. Loderwyk lasted four innings for the losers and was then replaced by Dalvellrwho finished the game.

And that goes a long way in explaining; the reason why humans are much1 more intelligent, Prof. John F. Shep- ard said yesterday in a University lecture. In running a maze the rats learns the last part first while the human, learns the beginning first or both ends at approximately the same rate. This leads to the conclusion that the human has a sense of values which the rat cannot appreciate, Professor Shepard said. The rat is not able to organize the locations from the starting point. It is this ability' to evaluate things, to plan life, which places man so far above the other animals. The rat is a tool for learning, Pro- fessor Shepard said, as it gives the psychologist a means of making com- parisons with man. Many more fac- tors can be controlled than in the case of the human and that is why the rat is used. "We are interested in the analysis of learning," said Professor Shepard, "and that is possible only through a comparison." Controlling the variable factors such as the visual and olfactory senses, the rats are put through dif- ferent mazes to see how quickly they learn. Then a comparison is made with the ability of an individual, So great an interest has been man-, ifested in this League, according to R. W. Webster, summer Intramural director, that six more games will be played, each team playing the other once. Two games will be play- ed o "August 4, and 11 each Principals vs. Faculty and Teachers.E vs. Superintendents are scheduledo for Thursday.

Sink, head ofthe school of music and candidate for Republi-c can nomination for lieutenant-gov-a ernor, Prof. F. C. Ayer, of the Uni-c versity of Texas, and Dean J. B. Ed- monson, addressed the gathering onr educational problems. Reichstag Defied to Oust Present CabinetI BERLIN, Aug. 1.-WP)-Chancellor Franz von Papen said today 'he3 would not attempt government by coalition in Germany, but would present his ministry to the newJ Reichstag late this month and defy the members to oust it. e r1, In an exclusive interview, the Chancellor made it plain he intends to continue ruling Germany without party support. His Cabinet was formed at the direction of President von Hindenburg June 1, and immedi- ately afterward the Reichstag was dissolved in order that he might not have .to stand a test of confid- ence. "If yesterday's election had any signif cance," Von Papen said "it was the indorsement by the German peo- Dr. Nathan Sinai, professor of hy- c giene and public health, will speak c at 5 o'clock today in the Natural Science auditorium on "The Evolu- i ion of Medidal Care."

Paragu y Mobilization Ordered by Legislature ASUNCION, Paraguay, Aug. i.--(') -General mobilization of the armed forces of Paraguay was a uthorized by Congress tonight as a Frotest to the Bolivian attack on Paraguay's forts in the bitterly disputed Chaco territory went to the Ieague of Na- tions. While preparations to call army and navy reserves to arms were pushed forward, .Foreign ,Minister Higinio Arbo charged in a note to It was the first 100-meter triumph for the United States in 12 years and a crowd that had grown to near- y 60,000 spectators gave the two American Negroes a terrific ovation. Both came from behind after '50 neters with remarkable bursts of peed, but Tolan's legs carried him o the tape a shade in front. Debate Decision Metcalfe was posted first as the victor, butafter a long debate, the official judges decided Tolan had >reasted the tape first by a shade. rolan himself thought he had been defeated and ran over to congratu- ate his American rival, only to find out soon afterward he was the new hampion. Arthur Jonath, of Germany, fin- shed third; George Simpson, United States, fourth; Dan Joubert,. South Africa, fifth, and Yoshioka, Japan, ixth and last. Robert Tisdall, of Ireland, won the 400-meter hurdles final, beating off he closing challenges of two Amer- cans, Glen Hardin and Morgan Tay- lo, as well as dethroning the 1928 champion, Lord Burghley, of Eng- land. ' Percy Williams, of Canada, 1928 Olympic sprint champion, was elim- nated in the first semi-final heat of the 100-meter dash, finishing fourth. The race was won by Tolan n 10.7 secondds, with Joubertsec- and and Yoshioa third. Metcalfe won the second 100- meters semi-final. Tolan uncorked a typical finishing burst to come from behind and win by inches from the field. Yoshioka led from 50 to 90' meters, but was overhauled both by the Detroit Negro and by Joubert in a blanket finish. Williams was beaten out by inches, as he lost his first championship. Barely a yard sepa- rated the first four. Three U. S. Finalists Like his teammate, the rangy Met- calfe put on another great closing exhibition to capture the second semi-final, clocked in -10.6 seconds, which until yesterday had stood as the Olympic record. Metcalfe led George Simpson, the third American, by a foot, thereby giving the United States three of the six finalists. Arthur Jonath, of Ger- many, was third and completed the list of qualifiers. Lone representatives of Japan, Ger- many and South Africa stood be- tween America and sprint triumph, last held at the 100-meter distance by Charley Paddock In 1920. All three of Canada's dash men, led by Williams, were- eliminated. The youthful Dominion star, Birchall Pearson, lost out in Mdtealfe's heat, finishing fifth.
