XI No. 20 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1935 PRICE: FIVE CENTS Slow And' DullPupil Discussed Psychology Important In His Handling, Declares Professor Schorling Laggard's Position Becoming Serious 'Outlook For Educational Diagnoses' Is Subject Of Today's Conference By GUY M. WHIPPLE, JR. Modern educators who wish to bet- ter their technique in the handling of the "dull," "slow," or "laggard" stu- dents must call increasingly upon psychology for guidance, according to Prof. Raleigh Schorling of the School of Education. Professor Schorling spoke at yesterday's meet- ing of the afternoon educational con- ference. In the latter grades of secondary schools there is an enormous piling up of educational laggards, Professor Schorling said. The problem of the slow pupil is more serious today be- cause the economic crisis is forcing every subject to justify itself, the speaker stated, and thus the prob- lem of providing for the educational laggard becomes more pressing. "Psychology tells us that our slow pupils have very low ability in read- ing," Professor Schorling said. In Simple English "Therefore directions for pupils as well as any other material you wish them to read must be written in simple English. If you wish a dull pupil to understand a word, a phrase, or a symbol you must provide defi- nitely that he live through some ex- perience as a basis for the meaning of the word." In xde. ng wth 4Qw pupils. the conventional classification of subject matter by grades is futile, Professor Schorling declared. The teaching of a task to a slow pupil must be de- layed as long as it is feasible, he add- ed. "A definite goal must be substitut- ed for intentions that are usually good but vague in directing the study of a slow pupil," Professor Schorling said. "Then, remember that it must not be assumed that the slow pupil is a lazy ppil. Some other psychologi- cal pointers are these: Organization Important "Organize the dull pupil's mater- ial so that each step is small. "Characterize the material by ac- tivities. "Emphasize visual aids. "Every class period must be char- acterized by variety. Drill alone will never accomplish anything. "The data on problem situations must be limited to very simple com- putations. "Every unit of work for a slow pupil should contain a purpose that a slow pupil can understand; accept, and ap- preciate." The afternoon lecture today will be given by Warren R. Good, instructor in educational psychology, who will discuss "The Outlook'for Educational Diagnosis." Athletics Win, 8-2, As Tigers Fail In Pinches PHILADELPHIA, July 16. - (P) - George Blaeholder gave the Detroit Tigers 15 hits today, but the Tigers could convert them into only two runs and suffered their third defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Athletics in the present series. The score was 8-2. Detroit put men on bases in every inning, but their only runs were lone scores in the second and ninth in- nings. The Athletics took the lead in the second inning and were never headed therafter. scoring another run in the fourth, two more in the sixth, and their final three in the eighth. The New York Yankees lengthened their lead over Detroit to two and one half games because of the Tiger de- feat and because Johnny Allen was pitching a two-hit shoutout over Chi- cago, 2-0. Curious And Practical Aspects Of Wills Are Related By Simes By THOMAS E. GROEHN Advice, not to the lovelorn, but to those far-seeking individuals who realize they must die someday and therefore prepare their affairs ac- cordingly by drafting a will, was given yesterday by Prof. Louis W. Simes of the Law School, who spoke on "Curious and Practical Aspects of Wills" in Natural Science Auditorium. Professor Simes' lecture was the thirteenth on the regular Summer Session series. Included in the list of essential "shoulds" presented by Professor Simes for the drafting of wills were the following points: "(1) Make your language perfectly clear, including phrases which have an accepted legal meaning, (2) revoke all former wills, (3) name an execu- tor and if the testator does not wish him to be bonded he should say so, (4) mention your children ifi the will even if the testator does not wish to leave them anything, (5) it is custo- mary to include a residuary clause (6) make some provisions in the wills of both the man and wife providing for the distribution of funds in the case of the common death of both, (7) it is unwise to have beneficiaries of a will act as witnesses because they will not be awarded funds in some. courts if they do so, (8) avoid inter- lineations and erasures, and (9) hire a good lawyer, with special emphasis on the "good." Professor Simes said that it was a fallacy to believe that there is a law of wills when in reality there are 48 different laws of wills, each based on the statutes of the respective state in which it is made. Describing the "usual type" of will, Professor Simes said that it is usually written and attested, and may be written in any language. "Wills, however, may not neces- sarily be written," he said, "and in fact there are records of wills writ- ten on everything from an egg-shell to a petticoat," Professor Simes de- clared. Wills, according to the speaker, are usually an excellent record of an individual's true feelings, heretofore unrevealed hates and loves many times being revealed in them. He cited a number of instances of this peculiar characteristic in wills, among which was one reading "Dan- iel Ross, to my tyrannical wife, I leave $1 for which she can buy a rope to hang herself." Another left to a legatee $5, to be paid on installments of 10 cents a month. air r rrrriin Women To Be Entertained At LeagueToday Wives Of Faculty Members To Attend First Tea Of Several This Summer Officials of the Summer Session will join with the members of the Faculty Women's Club from 4 to 6 p.m. tomorrow when they entertain for the wives of professors from other colleges teaching in the University this summer, the wives of the Sum- mer Session faculty, and women teaching.t ge fa ulty at a tea in the gardee of' the Michigan League.

Mourn Deaths Of Youths Who Fouoht Canabal MEXICO CITY, July 16. -(P) - Mexican students today mourned five comrades who died for their opposi- tion to Tomas Garrido Canabal, strong man of Tabesco state, and said they would "never cease the battle against Carrido" until his overthrow. A powerful student's organization to intercede Tabesco state elections in August is being formed, the stu- dents said. They insisted their in- tention was to fight with ballots, in- stead of bullets. "If we are attacked, however," leaders stated, "we will know how to defend ourselves." Advice from Villa Hermosa Tabesco said quiet had been restored there after last night's gun battle in. which the five students who returned to their native states to contest Cana- bal's rule were killed.

National League ChargerFake Telegfrarn In Lobby -Quiz Western Union Manager Is Testifier On Damaging Evidence Senators Witnesses For 'Death Clause' Rep. Brewster's Charges Against Corcoran Heard In Probe WASHINGTON, July 16.-- A tale of. anti-utility bill telegrams,, dictated by a power company repre- sentative signed with names from a city directory, and then mysteriously burned was unfolded today before the Senate Lobby Committee. Nervous, but never hesitant, Jack A. Fisher, Western Union office man- ager at Warren, Pa., now suspended from duty, related the story to the committee in an effort, he said, to clear himself of suspicion that he was involved in the destruction of the messages. The telegrams, 1,300 of them in all, were among the deluge of messages which poured in upon members of the House in the week it voted on the utility bill clause decreeing aboli- tion for "unnecessary holding com- panies. The House voted this sec- tion out of the Senate bill. 800 Telegrams Received More than 800 of the batch were received by Rep. D. J. Driscoll, (Dem., Pa.). Also awitness today, he told the committee that his suspicions were aroused by the fact that most o the messages were signed with names beginning with the letters "A," 'B,' 'C,' and "D.' Investigation in five cases, Driscoll said, brought either denials from the purported signers that the mes- sages had been sent, or else a report from telegraph or postal authorities tlat theyCbuld not be located. Fisher's story was plopped into the committee's lap as it suddenly re- sumed hearings while awaiting re- turns from questionnaires sent to all holding companies asking the extent, source and manner, and pur- pose of disbursement of all funds spent in the battle against the dis- solution clause. Senator Wheeler Testifies Earlier in the day the House Rules Committee, trying to wind up inves- tigation of alleged misuse of Admin- istration influence in swinging votes for the "death sentence," received testimony from Senator Burton K. Wheeler, (Dem., Mont), and Reps. Maury Maverick, (Dem., Tex.), and John E. Rankin, (Dem., Miss.), that they had understood Reps. Ralph O. Brewster, (Rep., Me.), to favor hold- ing company abolition until he voted against it. Brewster had charged Thomas Cor- coran reconstruction corporation at- torney, with threatening to halt the Passamaquoddy tide-harnessing proj- ect in Maine unless he voted for abolition. From Wheeler it received a state- ment that power companies employed "lying propaganda" to defeat aboli- tion. He knew, he said, of several last-minue switches in the position of senators who previously had been counted upon to vote for the provi- sion. 5,000 Cards Displayed Rep. Simon M. Hamlin, (Dem., Me.), exhibited part of what he said was a stack of 5,000 cards, signed by residents of Portland, Me., all authorizingsone, Clarence Gady, to carry to him a protest against the death sentence. Fisher, small, spectacled, and in, middle thirties, leaned back in th'\ witness chair and told the committee that he knew none of the officials of Warren's local power company, but had "met a fellow who was reported to be a bond salesman for the holding company." This was identified in the record as the Associated Gas & Electric Co. Fisher identified the salesman as R. P. Herron, later the central figure in his narrative.

Should that tribunal agree with the Boston Circuit Court and toss the AAA into the discard alongside NRA, the capital felt that likelihood of the predicted "constitutional" issue in 1936 would be increased measurably. The Boston blow, second in as many days, prompted an immediate de- mand in the Senate by the Democrat- ic Millard Tydings, of Maryland, for a "return to fundamentals!" He named these, in response to an inquiry from Senator Alben W. Bark- ley, Kentucky Democrat, as a bal- anced budget and the end of attempts to raise prices and restrict production. Senator George W. Norris upheld the AAA. Finally the Senate voted, 40 to 38, to retain the provision of the AAA amendments permitting Secretary Wallace, with approval of 50 per cent of the handlers of any commodity covered by the bill. to fix a minimum. price at wich it Would be bought from the producer and resold by the; first handler. Most official and Congressional quarters were disinclined to comment on the decision against processing; taxes and the one in Cincinanti yes- terday adverse to slum clearance plans, pending study of the opinions. Immediate word was that present policies would be pursued and col- lection of the disputed taxes would go on.

PHIL OVERTON Political Post Kept By Son Of Roosevelt Attempt By Young Texas Democrats To Oust Him Put Down FORT WORTH, July 16. - W) - Ellioitt Roosevelt, dubbed the "crown prince and rubber stamp of the East" by belligerent Texas political foes, re- tained his executive capacity with the Young Democrats of Texas tonight by decisive action of executive com- mitteemen. The son of the President was up- held against charges that he had been illegally elected to the organiza- tion's first vice-presidency by a 14 to 1 vote. "I know it is unpopular for me to make this move," shouted Phil Overton of Dallas, leader of the anti- Roosevelt forces, "but I contend that Elliott Roosevelt was elected, to his position at ;an executive meeting where a quorum was not in attend- ance." Raymond Buck, chairman of the committee, overruled his plea. "'This organization is becoming a rubber stamp," cried Joe Bailey Hum- phreys, of Crockett, former secretary of the executive committee. "We are jumping through the hoop at the command of the man heading the band, wagon. Elliott Roosevelt was elevated to this position in the or- ganization because of family connec- tions. The crown prince and the rubber stamp from the East has not merited his position." Adjournment Vote Fizzles In House WASHINGTON, July 16. -(UP) - The big drive in the house to force an early adjournment of Congress fizzled today - smothered 61 to 86 by the huge Democratic majority. Peculiarily, the attempt was ini- tiated by the Democrats-Rep. Dean of Ga. But when the roll was called only 15 members of his party voted with him and 70 Republicans. On the other side were eight progressives and farm minorities. 12 Republicans, and 41 Democrats. Within a few hours after the House action, Chairman Harrison of the Senate Finance committee reasserted that Congress would stay in session to pass President Roosevelt's tax pro- gram and that there was no thought of returning for a special session this fall. itioiial; Appeal AAA Loses To Roosevelt Processing, Floor Thrown Out In Court Decision Levies Circuit Improper Vesting Of Powers Is Cited Congress Can't Regulate Products In Control Of State, Is Finding BOSTON, July 16.-- (P)- The pro- cessing tax and floor taxes of the Ag- ricultural Adjustment Act, under which the Federal government had collected approximately $900,000,000 and expected to collect an additional $700,000,000, were declared uncon- stitutional today by the United States Circuit Court. The court's ruling was based upon a test case brought by the Hoosac Mills Corp., which sought to escape payment of $81,694. The processing tax and the floor tax, the latter a levy upon finished goods on hand when the tax became effective, were considered the back- bone of the AAA. With funds thus derived the Sec- retary of Agriculture compensated farmers and growers for curtailing crops and livestock production. Says Congress Lacks Power The Circuit Court found that Con- gress had no authority to regulate products which were in the control of the State; that the tax was an im- proper delegation of power; that .if the charge was a tax it was a direct tax, not apportioned, and if an excise tax it was not uniform., The Circuit Court's ruling was fol- lowed closely by announcement at Washington that the government would take prompt appeal to the Supreme Court. Attorney General Homer S. Cum- mings said the Hoosac case probably would control more than 200 other suits on file in various Federal courts attacking the taxes and seeking re- funds and injunctions against pay- ments. The Federal government was moyv- ing to balk recovery of money already in the outlawed taxes. Amendments to the AAA pending at Washington would throw these suits out of court and prevent filing of new suits. The government cannot be sued without consent of Congress. Industry Hails Ruling Approval of the Circuit Court's opinion was found in the New Eng- land textile industry. The National Association of Cotton Manufacturers issued a statement in which Dexter Stevens, chairman of the Northern Cotton Mills Policy Committee, said he hoped the court's decision would "go a long way toward halting the wave of liquidation among New Eng- land cotton mills, to which the pro- cessing tax was a big contributing factor." "Millions of dollars," he said, "have been drained from New England cot- ton mills to finance this vast pro- gram." James Sinclair, president of the Falls River Cotton Manufacturers As- sociation, said elimination of the tax would regulate prices, "and we will not have price cutting in the future. Frank W. Dunham, secretary of the Fall River Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the New England Co- mittee on Industry, said the tax had been "an unfair burden to assist one group against another." Interstate Power Stretched The court held that the power of Congress to regulate interstate com- merce did not authorize it to do so by taxing agricultural or industrial prod- ucts before they entered interstate commerce, or to control their produc- tion merely because their production indirectly affected interstate com- merce. "If Congress can take over the con- trol of any intrastate business by a declaration of an economic emer- gency and a public interest in its regulation," the Court found, "it would be difficult to define the lim- its of the powers of Congress, or to foretell the future limitations of local self-government." The court found that "Congress h-'nr atton,,,,yifc to 1n vA,- a fiel Arer Braves Wallop 40-4; Cubs, Tigers, Giants Win ' In one of the wildest slugfests of the 1935 summer intramural season, the Braves trampled the Tigers, 40- 4, on Ferry Field.
