L Official Publication Of The Summer Session Editorials Mayor Campbell Has His Difficulties; Grading Sys- temus. VOL. XIV No. 4 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1933 PRICE FIVE CENTS 'Larry' Gould' To Speak On' Niagara Falls Noted Explorer Will Give Talk On Rock Forms Of Falls Region Had Part In Three Polar Expeditions Lecturer Is Author Of 'Cold,' Book On Work Of Byrd Party Prof. Laurence M. Gould of Carle- ton College, famous for exploration and geological research, will give the fourth talk of the Summer Ses- sion special lecture series at 5 p. m. this afternoon. He will speak on "The Geology of Niagara Falls and Vicinity." Professor Gould, a graduate of the University and former member of the faculty, left the campus in 1928 with a leave of absence from the geology department to join the Byrd expedi- tion to the Antarctic. As a result of his work with the Byrd party and the subsequent publication of his book, "Cold," he became recognized internationally in the field of geo- logical exploration. Previously, in the summer of 1926 and again in the summer of 1927, Professor Gould had taken part in expeditions to the Arctic. He has returned to Ann Arbor this summer to teach two courses in the geology department. His lecture today will probably be elaborated next week when he con- ducts the fourth of a series of Sum- mer Session Excursions to Niagara Falls. A party of students will leave Ann Arbor at 1 p. m. Friday, July 7, and will spend the week-end on the ground that forms the subject for Professor Gould's lecture of today. Reservations for the trip must be made .at the .Summer Session office before 5 p. m. Wednesday, July 5. Prof. Gould will explain the pecu- liar geological conditions which make the Niagara Falls region unique. The falls were caused by erosive forces of the river cutting back under an un- usually hard flat layer of rock. The sharp difference in level between the upper stream and the gorge is there- fore accounted for by the fact that the rock beneath the falls is eaten away faster than the top surface. Should the end of the hard layer ever be reached as the cutting works back, geologists say, the river would grade down and the falls would dis- appear. First Education Conference Led y Carrothers Bureau's Head Points To The Services Rendered Other Educational Units By JOHN C. HEALEY More than 600 accredited high schools throughout the state of Michigan are testimonials to the work of the Bureau of Co-operation with Educational Institutions, it was said yesterday afternoon by Dr. George Er. Carrothers,ndirector of the bureau, in the first of the School of Education's afternoon confer- ences, entitled, "Some of the Uni- versity's Services to Schools." "These schools have been helped to reach and to maintain their high degreee of efficiency through the co- operative activities of local officials, members of the State Department of Public Instruction, and members of the staff of the University," he continued. "Michigan is known for' its splendid high schools." Throughout the State and the nation it is known that the Univer- sity has always been extremely anxious to be of service to other edu- cational institutions, Dr. Carrothers pointed out, explaining that, as a step in this direction, the Bureau of Co-operation with Educational In- stitutions was originally organized by the University Council. "The idea was that even better relationships would be established and the indica- tions are that this purpose has been accomplished." To Act On Board --Associated Press Photo Harcourt E. Morgan, president of the University of Tennessee, was named by President Roosevelt on his three-man board to be known as the Tennessee valley authority, charged with developing that valley and Muscle Shoals properties. Cities To Send Officers Here For Discussion Meeting Held To Promote Program For Federal Financial Recovery Engineers and public officials from 30 cities and villages in six Michigan counties in the vicinity of Ann Arbor will convene here Friday for the first of a series of district meetings to! be held in connection with the $3,-1 300,000,000 Federal economic recov: ery program. Sponsored by the Michigan Muni- cipal League, the meetings are for the purpose of drawing up plans for public works programs to be submit- ted to the Federal government, which is finaning the nlationwide plan. First action on the Michigan pro- gram was taken last week, when representatives of the state's larger cities met here for the first time. Officials of the league declare that immediate action in drawing up plans is vital, because of the fact that the Federal government will probably allot appropriations in the order that local programs are ap- proved. It is understood that $13,- 000,000 has already been assigned to Michigan for highway construc- tion projects, while estimates indi- cate that the state will receive a total of $200,000,000 for the entire recovery undertaking. While the nation-wide program is to provide funds for public works of all kinds, including sewage disposal plants, local street improvement, waterworks, recreation facilities, and public buildings, a sum of $400,000,- 000 has been set aside for highway construction work in the various states. The counties which will be repre- sented .at the meeting Friday are Washtenaw, Monroe, Lenawee, the western and southern - parts of Wayne, the southern part of Living- ston, and the eastern part of Jack- son.

Roosevelt was elected to the presidency last fall there were many who doubted his ability and his firmness; who asked themselves what kind of man he was and what was his capacity, ac- cording to Prof. Everett S. Brown of the political science department, who spoke yesterday afternoon in the special lecture series on "The Po- litical Parade of 1933." "However, Roosevelt has begun his administration with a vigorous at- tack and clear-cut program," Prof. Brown said. "He has put into effect nearly everything promised in this platform, and has proven that he merits the whole-hearted support of the American people." "So far, the President has been able to put his plans across because he had fine support from the people at large. Many of them voted for him not because of confidence in his abilities but because they wanted a change. The old regime had failed; they were willing to give him a chance. Now we realize that it is up to us as individuals to co-operate with him rather than sit back and criticize. W i th o u t co-operation, Roosevelt can do nothing; with it he can perhaps do everything," Profes- sor Brown continued. Professor Brown went on to out- line the major legislative moves of the present year, giving credit to the Lame Duck session of last winter for a number of constructive measures, including granting of future inde- pendence for the Philippines, the submission of the Twentieth Amend- ment which abolishes the Lame Duck session, and the repeal amendment. 16 States Favor Repeal Already 16 states have gone on record as favoring repeal, Professor Brown pointed out, with the possi- bility that the amendment might be passed this year. "Thirty-seven states have so far arranged for conventions on the amendment," he said, "and the others might take action if pres- sure is brought to bear by the Presi- dent. At all events, when it is re- membered that 46 out of the 48 states voted for the Eighteenth Amendment, the present trend will be seen as the greatest reversal of public opinion in the history of the country." Professor Brown enumerated and explained the administration bills so far enacted-the Emergency Bank- ing Law which empowered him to close and open banks; the National Economy Act, which gave him power to cut.salaries, grants, and bonuses; the 3.2 Beer Law, designed to bal- ance the budget and aid industry; the Reforestation Plan; the Farm Relief Bill, designed to cut down acreage, raise mortgages, and raise grain prices; the Inflation Bill; the Federal Emergency Relief Act, which Faculty To Draw Half Of Salaries For June, Half the amount due University employees in payrolls for the month of June will be distributed in checks Friday, June 30, it was announced yesterday by Univer- sity authorities. At the same time it was said that State officials do not expect to be able to pay the balance of the June total before the end of July but administrative officers. have voiced the hope that this money will be procurable some- time before that date. Rubarth Has Been Meritt Resigns To Take Job At Johns HopkinsI In Close Con tact With Governmen t Dr. E. Stern Rubarth, noted Ger- many editor who will speak Friday on the subject of "Mistakes About Germany" on the Summer Session special lecture series, has been in close contact for many years with political events in his country. In the position he held until re- cently as editor-in-chief of the Wolff Telegraph Agency, which is the semi-official news bureau for the German government, he gained an almost unparalleled grasp of the sit- uation in Berlin. Dr. Rubarth was also the close friend of Dr. Strese- mann and worked with him during his administration. Dr. Rubarth is widely known for his connection with a number of in- ternational leagues and societies de- voted to political and social work. He is an 'accomplished linguist, speaking French, German, and Eng- lish with equal fluency. Arriving in Ann Arbor Thursday night, he will be the guest during his stay of Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department. He will proceed from Ann Arbor to Har- vard, where he is scheduled to lec- ture. Prof. Benjamin D. Meritt, of the department of Greek and Latin, has resigned to accept a position at' Johns Hopkins University at Balti- more, according to information re- leased yesterday. It is understood, that Professor Meritt, nationally recognized au- thority on . classical languages, re- signed from his post here because of a munificent offer from the eastern' school. Professor Meritt, one of the younger members of the faculty, is an authority on Greek inscriptions and has recently published a book on "Athenian Financial Documents of the Fifth Century." He has been affiliated with the University since 1928 and has held the position as New York Alumni Professor of Greek and Latin since the creation of that post. He came here as an associate professor and was given a full pro- fessorship his second year. Engineering Senior Dies In University Hospital Charles Kirk, of Toledo, a senior this.year in the Engineering College of the University of Michigan, died unexpectedly early this afternoon in the University hospital following an operation to remove 'a congenitil tumor of the brain. Kirk was operated on more than three weeks ago and was seemingly completely recovered, according, to physicians. His relapse came sud- denly and was attributed to changes in the brain caused by the tumor before its removal. Considered One Of Brilliant Younger Of Entire Faculty Most Men Sales Tax Bill Is Approved By Comstock Three Per Cent Levy On Merchandise To Take Effect Next Saturday Hope To Realize 31 Million First Year Tax Declared Applicable To Tangible Personal Property Of All Kinds LANSING, June 28.-(P)-Gover- nor Comstock late Wednesday signed the Sales Tax bill. The 3 per cent levy on every commodity sold at re- tail, from clothes pins to automobiles becomes effective Saturday. It also applies to electricity and gas. The State hopes to realize at least $31,- 700,000 from the new tax in the next year. At the same time James E. Mor- gan, managing director of the Sales Tax, issued preliminary regulations governing its collection. Under them it will not be necessary for business places to secure licenses until they make their first tax return in August. At that time they must return ap- plication blanks and a license fee of Tangible Property Taxed The rules in general declare any tangible personal property, which is, sold to the consumer, is taxable. "The term sale at retail' has a broader meaning than the exchange of property for money. It includes any transfer, exchange or barter, whether conditional or otherwise, for a consideration. A trade of tangi- ble personal property to another for tangible personal property is a sale within the meaning of the act," the rule stated, Auto Dealers Must Pay This was taken to mean automo- bile dealers,, and so forth, trade-ins and so forth, must pay on the full sale price of a car and may not de- duct for trade-ins. Persons not in business who make casual trades, or sales, are not subject to taxation. Education lubr Elects Officers For Summer Election of officers for the Sum- mer.

Energetic Biologists Get Up At Uncouth Hours Of M orning Poking Fun At Dull-But Good- People Is The Aim Of Hay Fever "Poking fun at conventionally dull, but good, people-a characteristic of the modern age-is one of the salient points of Noel Coward's humor as exemplified in 'Hay Fever,'" Valen- tine B. Windt, director of the play for the Michigan Repertory Players said yesterday. "Hay Fever," the first play of the Repertory Players' season will re- ceive its final performance at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre tonight. "Noel Coward's plays give a singu- larly fine portrait of what the pres- ent generation is like-or rather would like to be like, smart chit-chat, the desire to repress emotions and fundamentally just as emotional as ever," Mr. Windt said. "His dialogue "Noel Coward's chief appeal is that he is so decidedly of the age-up to the very minute. He has the power of witty dialogue and is capable of .taking the most sentimental scenes and presenting them in a totally un- sentimental manner, thereby keeping theatrical values of the past and pre- senting them in the dress of the pres- ent. "Being first an actor, Noel Coward is especially clever in writing dia- logue, that is, speakable and actable drama," he continued. "He has an uncanny awareness of what is effec- tive on the stage and what is most helpful to the actor. He plays a great deal of the humor which springs By FRANK B. GILBRETH At 5 a. m. on Monday morning, aT time when the majority of the stu-c dents of the Summer Session were in the very middle of their nocturnal slumber, the Biological Station of the University of Michigan was1 wide awake. The first field trip of the year had been organized and was ready to start. According to Prof. George Roger3 LaRue of the zoology departmentt and director of the station, who was4 in Ann Arbor yesterday to discuss problems of the budget, enrollment at the camp, which is located on the Bogardus T r a c t in Cheboygan County, is expected to be at least equal to, that of last year.' "At the present time- there are 86 actually registered in the camp," Professor LaRue said, "and at least eight more have definitely signified their intentions of enrolling. Last year's total at the Biological Station ground of the Harvard School of Medicine, Dr. George W. Hunter, 3rd, of Wesleyan University, Dr. H. A. Gleason of the New York Botanical Gardens, Prof. H. N. Goddard of Western State Teachers College, Dr. L. O. Nolf of the State University of Iowa, and Dr. Fulling of the New York Botanical Gardens, he said. Doctors Sandground, Nolf, and Hunter are parasitologists, Professor Goddard is a zoologist, and Doctors Gleason and Fulling are botanists, according to Professor LaRue. More than 75 per cent of the stu- dents registered at the camp are do- ing graduate work, the director stated. This high percentage may be attributed, at least in part, to the fact that more graduate students are self-supporting than undergraduates and also to the fact that many are working for doctor's degrees. Tuesday, Prof. W. F. Ramsdell and Norman Munster, both of the For- New High Temperature For June Is Recorded A maximum temperature of 98.2 degreesregistered at University Ob- servatory at 2:30 p. m. yesterday set a new high for the month of June in Ann Arbor, surpassing all existent records of the month available in the books there. The Associated Press reported that an all-time June record was estab- lished in Chicago when the mercury rose to 100.1 degrees Tuesday. At Phoenix, Ariz., the thermometer rose to 108 degrees. Deaths were reported in many states, two of them in Mich- igan. Locally, the air was slightly cleared late yesterday afternoon when rain that had long been threatening finally fell, resulting in the minimum temperature of the day, 76.4 degrees, registered at 6p.im. 2 STATES VOTE FOR REPEAL
