Regular class col- and in- struction is excluded, but students may be assigned to extension, adult education, recreation and other ac- tivities that "increase the usefulness of the college to the community." Bursley on Committee Locally the F. E. R. A. funds are administered by a committee con- sisting of Professor Gram, Dean of Students Joseph A. Bursley, and John C. Christensen, controller and assistant secretary of the University. The problem of fitting individual students to various projects is un- der the supervision of Dean Bursley, with Miss Elizabeth A. Smith of the emplgyment bureau in direct charge. As was true lasttyear, the allot- ment of funds to the University is based on an average of $15 per month per student, and no single student shall be allowed more than $20 for any one month. Obvious- ly, for those who receive more than the alloted $15 each month, there must be a similar number of stud- ents who will receive less than $15. No student is to work more than 30 hours in any one week or more than 8 hours in any single day, under the rules set up by the local committee. Under the increased enrollment; allotment made for the coming year' by the national administrators of the fund; more than 100,000 college students throughout the country will be aided, as compared with approxi- mately 75,000 who were given em- ployment last year. Offer For Wool Trade Scorned By Argentine Minister of Agriculture Rejects Japanese Plans For Increased Trade BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 11- (R) - -Luis Duhau, Argentina's outspoken minister of agriculture, has thrown cold water on Japanese trade propa- ganda with a declaration that Ar- gentina is not interested in products just because they are cheap, nor in Nippon's campaign to buy more wool here and less from Australia. Replying to a government commis- sion which studied Argentine-Japan- ese trade relations following a pro- test of the Japanese chamber of com- merce against the amount of ex- change available, Duhau pointed out that the trade balance is heavily in favor of Japan. He belittled the commission's opinion that Japan was trying to buy more from Argentina. Wants True Markets Ruthven Outlines Provisions Of Student Relief Aid During Year Members of the Faculties and Students: You are advised that the Emergency Relief Aid will be pro- vided for students during the college year 1934-35 on much the same basis as it was carried on last year. The salient features of this relief program are as follows: 1. Funds allotted shall be used to pay students for doing socially desirable work, including the sort customarily done in the institution by students who are working their way through college, such as clerical, library, and research work. Regular class instruction shall be excluded, but students may be assigned to extension, adult education, recreation and other activities that increase the usefulness of the college to the community. 2. Inasmuch as the principal objective of using relief funds for student aid is to increase the number of young men and women going to college, funds allotted shall not be used to replace college funds heretofore available for student aid. Ordinary maintenance work about the college, waiting on table in dining halls and other routine activities which would have to be carried on anyway shall be financed from the usual sources, not from FERA funds. The procedure of administration at this University will be as indi- cated below: 3. A committee consisting of Professor Gram, Dean Bursley and Mr. Christensen will have charge of administration under my general direction. Should Present Possible Projects to Professor 4. Projects upon which student aid is desired, consistent with Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, should be presented to Professor Gram and they will be passed upon by the Committee as promptly as possible. These requests, prepared in triplicate on special forms, include a de- scription of the projects, an estimate of the number of student hours per month required, and a statement of the special qualifications, if any, the student appointees must have. In those departments where the projects are closely related or overlapping, the requests should come through the heads of departments, and they in turn will make the assignment of students. Projects submitted directly from members of the faculties will be subject, of course, to approval of the heads of departments or deans of the units concerned. 5. Applications for employment will be received at Dean Bursley's office and qualifications of students will be passed upon by the com- mittee. Students must have demonstrated their ability to do satis- factory work in college, and the student's financial status shall be such as to make attendance at college under proper living conditions impossible without this aid. Inasmuch as the funds will provide for a limited number of students, it is expected that prospective applicants will respect fully the spirit of this agency and that they will apply only when the aid is absolutely necessary. 6. The task of fitting students to projects will be under the super- vision of Dean Bursley, with Miss Elizabeth A. Smith in direct charge. She will be advised of the action of the Committee on projects for which applications have been made and will have also the personnel cards of students whose requests for relief employment have been approved. The co-operation of faculty supervisors is invited in order that this detail may be carried out promptly and for the best interests of both the student and the University. Christensen To Supervise Timekeeping and Payrolls 7. The details of timekeeping, preparation of payrolls, etc., will be under the supervision of Mr. Christensen with Mr. H. S. Anderson at the Buildings and Grounds office in direct charge. The number of hours put' in by each student employed will be reported on blanks to be furnished, and these will be collected daily. It is absolutely neces- sary that these time reports be signed by faculty advisors who can vouch for their accuracy. 8. The amount of remuneration for each student will be based upon his or her needs as indicated from the information furnished by the students in their applications. The allotment .of funds to each college is based upon an average of $15.00 per month per student, and the pay shall be not more than $20.00 per month per student. Obviously, therefore, not more than $15.00 can be paid to any student unless there are corresponding reductions from $15.00 in the cases of other students. The hourly rate of pay shall be 40c per hour and no student shall work more than 30 hours in any week or 8 hours in any day. The adminis- trative committee will exercise the right to change the amount of remuneration or to make transfers of students from one project to another as they may from time to time see fit. 9. Members of the faculties who had charge of student relief projects last year are requested to make reports to Professor Gram at their earliest convenience, giving information as to the kind of work done by the students, and its value, the usefulness of the projects upon which they worked, and the status of the projects if not completed. Such information will be helpful not only to me in making a report of our experience with this agency, but will aid the Committee in making a classification of projects as to preference in case applications Youthful Tiger Foll owing Shutout Trail CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY TRANSPORTATION LOS ANGELES and return $25.

"But it does not interest us in anyj way to purchase, no matter how low the price, products from a countryl which does not offer us a correla- tive market. "That is especially true if such foreign products, by their exceptional low price, compete with articles of other countries which offer a liber- al market for Argentine products. "The wool which Japan stops buy- ing from Australia or New Zealand, to buy in Argentina, will occupy in the world market the same position as unsold Argentina wool would have held. Displacement of this type does. not appeal to us." Calls Exchange Adequate Challenging 'criticism of both Jap- anese importers and Argentine ex- porters, Duhau cited exchange sta- tistics to show Argentina had sold Japan products worth $1,270,000 in the first five months of 1934, and that the exchange commission had given $1,000,000 of official exchange, for imports from Japan. The differ- ence, amounting to 13 per cent, he pointed out, is the same taken from all customer nations for service on the foreign debt. In reply to the commission's com- ment that Japan was attempting to buy more from Argentina, Duhau cited official figures to show that .Tnn n'c avranltrade halancewith Artist-Painter Dies; Founder Of New School PITTSBURGH, Aug. 11. - (P) -An idle ladder at the side of a half- painted house . . .

In their annual meeting here Fri- day, stockholders of the Farm Bu- reau 'Service, Inc., representing some 73 farm co-operatives, adopted reso- lutions urging defeat for the three proposed amendments. Resolutions termed the home rule amendment 'a fraud' and wentI on to denounce the highway pro-I posals by contending they would lower sales tax revenues and in- crease the property tax load. "This amendment," the home rule resolution read, "was hatched by Detroit reformers and Michigan Municipal league officials to prevent the very economies they profess to favor." The farm bureau delegates con- tended the proposed resolution would not eliminate duplication of present officers by others under new names. HEAT RECORD BROKEN KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 11-(A.
