Institution Investigated
After Walgreen Attack
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Junet26.-()
- The State Senate Committee which
investigated charges of communistic1
teaching at the University of Chicago1
late today practically gave the school1
a clean slate, but criticized one pro-
fessor as being "unpatriotic" and "no,
asset."
Also recommended in their report
was that any violation of the State
treason code be referred to the State,
Attorney.
Themajority statements of the
:ommittee, which investigated charges
levelled by drugstore magnate Charles
Walgreen that his niece was subjected
to subversive influences at the Uni-
versity of Chicago, in the main had
only commendation for the institu-
tion.
The report was signed by four of the
five committeemen.
Singled out for criticism, however,t
was Prof. Robert Morss Lovett, well-
known liberal leader, labor advocate,1
and "freedom of speech" protector.-
Lovett, the report said, "had pur-
sued an unpatriotic course of conduct
for a period of eight or ten years, add-
ing that he "cannot be an asset to any
forward-looking American Universi-
ty."
At the time Mr. Walgreen levelled
his charges at the University of Chi-
cago and demanded an investigation'
into teaching methods at that insti-
tution, he withdrew his niece from
the campus.
Professor Lovett was the principal7
speaker at a convocation held Thurs-
day, April 4 in Hill Auditorium. His
subject was war. This convocation
was spoisored by the University. It -
was preceded by a student peace dem-
onstration on the steps of the main
library.

tition and said he had been insulted
by the player's reply to the accusa-
tion.
Poulain issued the call to arms to

Huge Youth
Work Plans
Are Started
Roosevelt's Program To
Care For Half Million
Young Persons
Josephine Roche
Placed In Charge
To Spend $50,000,000 On
Drive To ~Save Energy
And Skill OfYoung
WASHINGTON, June 26 -(W)
A fifty-million-dollar program for
training young people and supplying
them with jobs was put under way
today by President Roosevelt.
Officials estimated that the plan
would take care of half a million
young men and women between 16
and 25. Upward of the same number
are to be helped by the Civilian Con-
servation Corps.
"The yield on the investment should
be high," said Mr. Roosevelt in an-
nouncing the program.
The new plan was divided into four
sections designed to:
Give young persons work in private
industry.
Train and re-train them for pri-
vate employment.
Allow them to finish high school and
college.
Give them work relief on youth
projects.
National Chiefs Named
Miss Josephine Roche, assistant
secretary of the Treasury, and Au-
brey Williams, assistant to Relief
Administrator Harry L. Hopkins, were
put in charge of the new program.
Miss Roche declined for the time
being to amplify the presidential
statement, but said that the program
would get going very soon. Williams
was out of the city.
The money for the work was al-
located from the work relief fund.
In outlining the plan, the following
rates of payment were set: $15 a
month for youths on work relief; $6
a month for those in high school;
$15 a month for those in college.
In fixing the scale, Mr. Roosevelt
said:. "I have determined that we
shall do something for the unem-
ployed youth because we can ill af-
ford to lose the skill and energy of
these young men and women."
Under Miss Roche and Williams,
who will head the national setup, was
put a national advisory committee to
be comprised of representatives of
labor, business, agriculture, educa-
tion and youth.
Division for Each State
Along with this, in each state a
youth division was to be established,
headed by a state advisory commit-
tee to be appointed by the national
advisory organization. Similar repre-
sentation was to be had on the state
advisory groups to that comprising
the -national committee. A state di-
rector also was to be named in each
state.
This director would mobilize in-
dustrial, commercial, agricultural and
educational forces to employ and help
youths without jobs, using both pub-
lic and private agencies. Other youth
committees would be appointed where
necessary.
The program was designed to cover
all young men and women not regu-
larly in schools and not employed.
The CCC, in contrast, has stressed
taking young men whose families
were on relief rolls.

Employers would be asked to ap-
prentice the youths under arrange-
ments worked out locally. This would
cover not only the field of private
employment, but public works.
The President specified, also, that
where young persons were appren-
ticed to Government service it would
be "of the nature of field work for
classes to be farmer to train youth
for public service."
In carrying out the program, it was
specified that the facilities of fac-
tories, industries, plants and public
libraries should be used, with train-
ing classes wherever necessary or pos-
sible. The re-employment offices
would co-operate in placing youths in
jobs.

Ed White Of Texas
Eliminates Kocsis
Fischer, Malloy Meet In
Match Today; Both Win
First ContestsEasily
WASHINGTON, June 26 - (E) -
Coming from behind with a courag-
eous last-minute rally, Charles Yates,
the defending champion from Geor-
gia Tech, drove through the first two
rounds of the. National Intercollegi-
ate golf tournament today with a pair
of brilliant triumphs.
Carried to the 21st hole this morn-
ing before he downed Walter Emery
of Oklahoma, 1933 champion, Yates
again found himself facing elimina-
tion by Winfield Day of Notre Dame
in the second round, but he pulled a
lot of great shots out of his bag to
win from the Middlewesterner, 2-1.
Johnny Fischer of Michigan, who
won the championship three years
ago, marched into the quarter-finals
over an easier route, as did Woodrow
Malloy of Michigan, who tied with
Willis Johnson of Charleston and
Charles Kocsis of Michigan for med-
al honors yesterday.
Johnson and Kocsis, however, fell
this afternoon, after surviving the
opening battles.
Fischer had little trouble licking
Jack Hoerner of Stanford in the first
round, 4-3, and, after shooting a sub-
par 35 and taking a five-up lead
through the first nine this afternoon,
he could.afford to coast during the
afternoon to a 3-2 victory over Wil-
Son Marks of Princeton.
Woodrow Malloy eliminated Charles
Donnals of Georgia Tech, 3-2, and
then steamed to a 6-5 triumph over
R. B. Parker of Princeton.
After barely doing away with H. L.
Byer of Penn State this morning, i
up, Koesis ran into Ed White of Texas
and slipped out, 5-4, in the second
round.
Tomorrow's engagements pit White
against G. A. Menard of Penn State,
Woodrow Malloy against Johnny
Fischer, and Bill Welch of Texas
against Fred Haas of Louisiana.
Dana Seeley of Michigan was elim-
inated by Haas, 2-1, in the morning
round.

his M.A. degree in 1921, and his Ph.D.
degree in 1924, all from Harvard Uni-
versity. After a year of teaching at
the University of Vermont, he came to
Michigan.
In 1928 he made a trip to Greece.
He has contributed to many jour-
nals concerned with classical studies,
among them the Journal of the Amer-
ican Philological Association, Classical
Philology, Art and Archaeology, Class-
ical Journal, and Mnemosyne, a Dutch
journal, published in Latin.
At present he is working on an
edition, in Greek, of the earliest Eu-
ropean novel, written by Chariton, a

tury B. C.
Professor Blake's lecture will be ac-
companied by slides.
