With approximately 200 Michigan

It's a sight to warm the hearts of

next Tuesday, July 10.
Little boys and big boys, white and
black, tough and soft - all given
equal chances to swim, play, eat and
sleep under the best conditions and
the most careful direction found in
Michigan. George Alder, principal of
Jones school during the winter, di-
rects the camp, with a staff of 29
councilmen and assistants -mostly
from the University - to keep the
boys interested and happy all the
time.
And they really enjoy every minute
of every day too. From their dip in
the lake at 6:30 in the morning to
taps at 9:15 in the .evening, they are
building up their bodies, their minds,

each boy is allowed to make or learn
the things young boys always like to
make and learn, under expert super-
vision. It would surprise the casual
visitor as it did me to see these kids
-mostly delinquent in some way -
making foot-stools, good bows and
arrows, models of everything in clay,
and carpet patterns on a small loom.
In spite of the fact that they have
been limited in their educations, these
boys have shown to several sociology
research students at the camp that
they have the same interests and abil-
ities as the average child in a -good
family. They learn to paint, play
simple musicalinstruments, and
study animals with the same fervor

when appetites are beginning to
sharpen for lunch. Louis Lemak, for-

charge, showing the good and fair

Heading the list of speakers is Dr.
Floyd Reeves, director of personnel
and social development under the
Tennessee Valley Authority. Dr.
Reeves will speak at the opening ses-
sion of the conference, 9:30 a.m. Tues-
day, on the topic, 'fThe Social De-
velopment Program of the Tennessee
Valley' Authority."
Five Meetings Planned
Five formal meetings are scheduled,
three on Tuesday and the other two
Wednesday. Organization plans call
for a maximum amount of informal
discussion, and, the conference pro-
gram states, "the sessions have been
arranged in such a way as to stimu-
late an exchange of views." Officials
hope that those in attendance will
"welcome the opportunity to partici-
pate in the 'give and take' of these
discussions,
In addition to the regular' meetings
planned, members of the School of
Education will offer two social pro-
grams with attendance open to all.
At noon Tuesday Phi Delta Kappa,
men's education fraternity, will hold
a conferenge luncheon, while the an-
nual picnic of the Men's Education
club, to be held Wednesday after-
noon at Portage Lake, will climax the
two-day conference.
Although most of the topics will be
presented by members of the faculty
of the School of Education, there will
be addresses by other men from out-
side Ann Arbor in addition to Dr.
Reeves.
Voelker To Speak
Dr. Paul F. Voelker, state superin-
tendent of public instruction, will
speak Wednesday morning on the
problems facing the Michigan edu-
cational system. Following this talk
there will be a discussion on the is-
sues raised by Dr. Voelker to be led
by Chester Miller of Saginaw, presi-
dent of the State Association of Su-
perintendents and School Board
Members.
One other member of the State
department of public instruction, Dr.
Eugene B. Elliott, director of research
and personnel, will appear at the ses-
sion. He will speak Tuesday night on
the topic, "Some Steps in a Program
for Educational Recovery for Michi-
gan Schools." Harold Steele of Jack-
son, president of the Michigan Edu-
cation Association, will lead the dis-
cussion -following Dr. Elliott's ad-
dress.
All sessions of the conference will
convene in the Union. Morning meet-
ings will open at 9:30, afternoon
meetings at 2, with the one evening

Teams Will Meet August
31 At Soldiers Field;
'M' Men May Play
By WILLIAM R. REED
What may well be the greatest
football game ever played is planned
for Augustn31 at Soldiers' Field, Chi-
cago, when the Chicago Bears will
meet a picked team of 1933 college
all-stars.
The all-star team is to be chosen by
ballot of football fans, through the
Chicago Tribune and associated news-
papers, and will be composed of those
college stars who ended their college
gridiron careers last fall.
Each fan is invited to name the
eleven best players from last year's
college graduates, and the 27 receiv-
ing the highest number of votes will
comprise the squad which will report
for training August 15. Sponsors of
the game have limited the choices to
those who ended their college play in
1933 because it is felt that those men
will be in relatively fine physical
condition.
Subsequent to the choice of the all-
star squad, which will be made July
25, a nation-wide contest to pick a
college coach to handle the squad will
be held.
Members of the Chicago Bears
team, national professional cham-
pions in 1933, have expressed them-
selves enthusiastically as in favor of
the game. "We are supposed to be
world's champions," they are re-
ported as saying, "here's a chance to
prove it against a team which will be
a real All-American team."
Althtugh teams of "All-Americans"
have often been assembled, and all-
star teams play annual games, spon-
sors claim that the proposed game
would be the first real exhibition by
a group of college All-Americans.
Four Michigan men are mentioned,
as outstanding possibilities for the
squad, Whitey Wistert, Chuck Ber-
nard, Ted Petoskey, and Herman Ev-
erhardus.
Wolverine Relay Team
Is Third In A.A.U. Meet
CHICAGO, July 7. - (P) -Jack
Medica, most brilliant of Uncle Sam's
distance swimmers, failed for the first
time in many attempts to set a world
record, but he outclassed his field in
the 440-yard grind to win his second
national A.A.U. championship in the
World's Fair Lagoon today.
The Los Angeles team won the 880-
yard relay, with the Detroit A.C. sec-
ond and the University of Michigan
third. The' Wolverines led for one
leg, giving way to the Detroit team.
which hung on until Callaghan, Los
Angeles' anchor man, caught Bob
Goldstein and went on to win by about
10 feet in 9:41.2.
The Michigan relay team is com-
posed of Jim Cristy, Taylor Drysdale,
Tex Robertson, and Bob Lawrence.

Sixty-Seven Go On
Trip To Cranb rook,
Kings wood Schools
Sixty-seven students, making the
trip in two buses and four private
cars, accompanied Prof. Carl J. Coe
on the third of the Summer Ses-
sion excursions to the Cranbrook
Schools in Bloomfield Hills. They left
shortly after 8 yesterday morning, and
returned to Ann Arbor in two groups,
one at about 3:15 and the other at
5:15.
After reaching the boys' school
at Cranbrook at about 9:30, the group
spent half an hour wandering about
the school while waiting for an ap-
pointment at the Academy of Arts,
which was set for 10:00.
There they viewed George G.
Booth's art collection, which he has
deeded to the Cranbrook Foundation.
Among the exhibits was a model of
a proposed memorial to Alexander
Hamilton, designed by Eliel Saarinen,
architect of the Cranbrook Schools.
At this time Mr. Vernon B. Kellett,
acting assistant to the headmaster at
Cranbrook this summer, who con-
ducted the party while it was at
Cranbrook, explained to the group the
organization of the six units which
form the Cranbrook Foundation. The
only co-ordinating force, Mr. Kellett
explained, is the Foundation itself,
which administers the endowment set
up for the group, and handles its
investments.
The first of the units to be estab-
lished was the Brookside School,
which Mr. Booth originally meant to
be a choir-school for the proposed
Christ Church. These two units were,
built first, and from them grew the
entire system of schools and other,
institutions.
Cranbrook, the boys' school, wasa
the next to be built, and it was com-
pleted and started operation in the<
fall of 1926. At this time the Academy#
of Arts and the Institute of Sciences
were also formed, but Kingswood, the

Vandenberg And Fletcher
Among Prominent Party'
Speakers ,
By ROBERT S. RUWITOH
(Daily Staff Correspondent)j
JACKSON, July 7. --Further ut-
terances of apprehension against
Democratic bureaucracy and "exces-
sive" governmental spending were)
made today by nationally prominent
speakers at the 80th birthday cele-t
bration of the Republican party here.-
Great crowds of party adherents
heard Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg
of Grand Rapids, Chairman Henry
P. Fletcher of the Republican Na-
tional Committee, Sen. Arthur Capper
of Kansas, and several state digni-
taries lash out against the problems
and policies of the party now in
power.
Budgetary iniquities of the Admin-
istration were severely scored by Sen-
ator Vandenberg, who characterized
the governmental spending as "the{
prodigal mistake of trying to buyg
prosperity and the worse mistake of
buying it without paying for it." t
Warns Against Inflation
He warned against what he termed
"our deadly drifts toward the mael-(
stroms of uncontrolled inflation,"(
which he said was capable of sweepingI
"all industry, commerce, and agricul-
ture under the dominion of the statel
and substitute it for the citizen as ouri
economic reliance." i

Like the speakers yesterday who
preceded him on the platform, Ser-
ator Vandenberg was firm in the be-E
lief of a rigid Constitution and flayed
the Democrats for their abuse of it.
Inevitable complications will spring
up, he stated, in a system, "wholly;
new to America, under which the1
spirit of the Constitution is mocked
and mangled; under which even the
President's own Congressional ma-
jority is significantly reduced to the
impotence of a convenient rubber
stamp."
Flays Bureaucracy
Shortly before Senator Vandenberg1
spoke, members of the party heard'
Chairman Fletcher rail against bu-
reaucracy in the Administration, as-
serting that Congress had no right
whatsoever to completely turn over to
the President its powers of law mak-
ing, as evidenced in the past two
years.,
In addition, Chairman Fletcher at-;
tacked monetary policies of the Ad-
ministration, NRA regulatory activi-

(Copyright, 1934, by the Associated Press)
BERLIN, July 7. - (A) - Adolf Hit-
ler called for peace and quiet and or-
dered a political truce today after a
a most turbulent week of the Nazi
reign.
The Chancellor set an example of
outward calmness for the German
people by leaving Berlin and going to
his retreat in the Bavarian Alps, at
least for the week-end and possibly
for a longer vacation.
Sub-leaders, who helped Hitler
break up the revolt with firing squads
a week ago today, also were reported
resting.
Vice-chancellor Franz von Papen,
whose position has not yet been made
secure, was smiling when visited in
his home today.
"My plans are not yet complete,"
said the aristocratic friend of Presi-
dent Paul von Hindenburg. "Every-
thing is still unsettled."
The political truce leaves him vice-
chancellor, free to come and go as he
pleases, although his home still is
guarded, presumably to protect him
from hot-blooded Nazis.
The government still is on the alert,
the propaganda ministry indicated,
for any sign of renewed effort of dis-
satisfIed elements. jo yerthrow the,
Hitler reign.
Activities of secret police will con-
tinue through the "truce," which if
carried out as planned, mean that no
major change can be made during
July.
The cabinet, which rules Germany
as a legislative as well as an execu-
tive body, will have no meetings dur-
ing the month, it was stated at the
Chancellor's office.
To the Storm Troopers, among
whose leaders the revolt developed,
Nazi party leaders issued a carefully
worded statement assuring them that
the troop and the party belong to each
other and cannot be separated.

tion, and has made excavations in
New Mexico, Guatemala, and the
Philippine Islands.
At 5 p.m. Tuesday Prof. Max S.
Handman of the economics depart-
ment will lecture on "Can and Should
America be Self-Sufficient?"

"The most effective propaganda
play which has come along in several
seasons. . . It has an entirely timely
aspect. . . I wish it were playing in
Washington right now," wrote Hey-
wood Broun, in the New York World-
Telegram after seeing a Theatre Guild
performance of Maxwell Anderson's
"Both Your Houses," to be presented
this week by the Michigan Repertory
Players.
Maxwell Anderson was born at At-
lantic, Pennsylvania, in 1888. His boy-
hood was spent in the middle west.
After attending the Universities of
North Dakota and Leland Stanford,
he taught school in North Dakota and
California, and then for a time went

of the 1924-25 season. This was
quickly followed by two other plays,
"First Flight,' 'and "The Buccaneer,"
also in collaboration with Mr. Stall-
ings; then "Outside Looking In,"
based on a novel by Jim Tully, "Sat-
urday's Children," "Gods of the
Lightning," (with Mr. Dickerson),
"Gypsy," "Elizabeth the Queen," one
of the most successful productions
presented by the campus dramatic
group this past winter, and "Night
Over Taos," produced in New York by
the Group Theatre. Mr. Anderson is
also author of another play, "Sea-
Wife," as yet unproduced, and a vol-
ume of poetry, "You Who Have
Dreams."
