Scenes At University Fresh Air Camp Murp)hy, Welsh Laud New Deal In Their Talks Latter Says Federal Relief Plan Was Inspired By His CityAdministration1 DETROIT, July 18.--(P)-Two men seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor were campaigning in opposite ends of the State tonight and each was lauding the Democratic National Administration. In the Thumb District, FrankI Murphy, Philippine High Commision- er, has his "week-end" campaign under way, while George W. Welsh, Dormer Republican Lieutenant-Gov- ernor turned Democrat, invaded the comparatively sparsely settled Ke- weenaw Peninsula. Both Murphy and Welsh in their initial addresses have praised Presi- dent Roosevelt and the relief program of the Democratic Administration in Washington, holding that it enabled the Republican State Administration to claim a balanced State budget. Welsh, in his Upper Michigan ad- dresses, asserted that the Federal relief plan really had its origin in measures adopted in Grand Rapids under his administration as city man- ager, during the worst of the de- pression, and added that he was in the campaign "to see that Roosevelt is reelected and allowed to carry on this great work." Rosco Conklin Fitch, of Detroit, said today that he had more than enough signatures to petitions to qualify him for a place on the pri- mary ballot for the Republican con- test for the governorship nomination. Perhaps the most significant de- velopment of the week affecting the Democratic political situation was the definite announcement by Frank A. Picard that he will not be a candi- date for Governor or for United' States Senator. Picard, for several weeks, has been reported as a pos- sible candidate for one or the other of' these offices' Making his announcement he said he had been concerned about the senatorial contest but that with the entry of Rep. Prentiss M. Brown, of St. Ignace, into the race for that nomination he felt he could definite- ly dismiss any thought of entering himself.

Olympic Leader Warns Against TrainingLaxity Says Team Members Must Obey Rules Or Leave 'Their Mates At Cobh Rv AT AN (rOTTTn (Associated Press Sports Writer) ABOARD S. S. MANHATTAN, En- ,oute to Berlin, July 18.-Disciplinary aroblems among members of the \merican Olympic Team, which arose oday when rain cut short the work- >uts, drew a sharp warning from Xvery Brundage that further unrea- :onable violations of the training :ies would result in the dismissal of he offendcrs at the first port of call --Cobh, Ireland. The American Olympic Committee "resident delivered his ultimatum to ill of the Olympians after receiving .eports of late hours, drinking and tambling among some of the athletes. 3rundage stressed that there were ,nly a few violators and that the ma- iority were holding to the regulations and maintaining good discipline on the whole but the managers of three teams, namely the women's swim- ming, field hockey and fencing, were charged specifically with the respon- sibility of enforcing stricter adher- ence to the training rules. One Glass But Not Two "We are making all reasonable al- lowances," Brundage declared. "We are not prudish nor do we have any objection to a glass of beer or smok- ing by athletes who know how to be- have generally and not disrupt the team's morale and discipline. Now it's up to the members of the team to Show they mean business." Much official debate developed over the decision of the team salute to be used in the Olympic parade. It will take the form of the men lifting their hats, holding them in their right hand and extending the right arm forward parallel to the ground. The girls merely will extend their right arms forward Officials denied the suggestion that this was a "modified Nazi salute," explaining they desired a distinctive gesture as a part of the opening cere- monies. It has not been decided who will have the honor of carrying the Stars and Stripes except t'hat the choice will be based on seniority, History Of Valley Is T In Guide Book Writ By Faculty Members old ten i By ELEANOR BARC The Huron River was the highway of the early settlers in Michigan, ac- cording to Edwin C. Goddard, profes- sor-emeritus of law, in a chapter of the "Guide to the Huron River Val- ley," which is nearing its completion and soon will be ready for the pub- lishers. Besides its utility as a highway, Professor Goddard points out, the Huron River and its tributaries also determined the location of the early white settlers because it furnished, power for their mills.' "The dams were small affairs," he continues, "and were located where, at least cost of labor and money, a head of water could be secured to run the waterwheels. It was for this rea- son that the tributaries, rather than the river itself, were used by the earliest settlers." Along the river, beside the dam sites with their accompanying mills, Major Leagues AMERICAN LEAGUE New York ......... Cleveland ......... Detroit ............ Boston ............ Chicago ...........

And in such a1 way, Professor Goddard related, Ann Arbor was founded in 1824, its first settlers, John Allen and Elijah Rum- sey, building their cabins near Al- len's Creek, where a dam for water power was the easiest means to securec the essential saw mill and grist mill. Origin Of Name Told Professor Goddard also tells of the; naming of Ann Arbor. The names of1 both the wives of the first two set- tlers were Ann, and their grape arborl suggested the name 'Ann's Arbor,' which was later shortened to Annf Arbor. More settlers followed the Allens3 and the Rumseys and after stores and more dams and mills were erected the population rose to 2,000 in 1838, when the location of the University was definitely established. Although the coming of the railroad had nothing to do with the early set- tlements along the river, according to Professor Goddard, it did determine the location of industry and popula- tion. "On the other hand, the river val- ley did have an important bearing on the location of the railroad. In- stead of going along the shorter route of the Chicago pike through Ypsilanti, Saline and Coldwater, which would doubtless have made Ypsilanti the local metropolis, it followed the easier line of the Huron from Ypsilanti to Dexter and thence beyond the valley to Jackson. Became County Center "This gave Ann Arbor the chance, later aided by the location of the county seat and a north and south railroad, to become the chief center of population and business in the Huron Valley." The guide book is the culmination of a Federal project begun two years by Dr. Henry C. Curtis and a group of students, who surveyed the Huron Valley and Washtenaw County. With a foreword by President Ruthven, the guide contains articles by Prof. Har- lowe Whittemore, of the landscape design department on "The Beauti- fication of the Huron River and Val- ley," and by Dr. Max Peet of the University Hospital on "Bird Life and Sanctuaries," and by other authori- ties on subjects concerning the valley.

U 63 Competitors Match Skill In Mackinac Race DETROIT, July 18.-(A)-More than three score of the finest sailing craft in the Great Lakes region were headed for Mackinac Island tonight -from Chicago and Port Huron- with a trophy for the best corrected time as the principal prize. Twenty of the craft got away from Port Huron this afternoon shortly after 2:30 p.m. in a stiff east wind that invited full canvas. The Chicago fleet of 43 ships, with 90 miles farther to sail, is racing up Lake Michigan. The Chicago fleet produced the winner of the intercity race last year.
