Summer Students
Enrollment for the Summer Ses-
sion passed the 4,000 mark yesterday
as 1041 students registered to bring
the total to 4,252.
This enrollment surpasses that of
the first Monday of last year's Ses-
sion by 264 students. On the same
day last year, 3,988 had enrolled.
The men's totals reached 2,691 yes-
terday while 1,561 women have reg-
istered. Last year at this time, 2,558
men had enrolled and 1,430 women
were registered with the University.
The total enrollment last year was
4,528, the greatest ever recorded in
any Summer Session. In view of the
increase at the present time, it is'
expected the total enrollment for'
the 1937 Session will top the record
set last year.
With the figures for Monday af-
ternoon's enrollment showing an in-
crease of nearly seven per cent over
last year, total enrollment for 1937
should reach the record peak of 4,823,
if the same increase is maintained1
for subsequent registration during the
week.
The three principal types of courses,
offered by the Session started yes-
terday. They are those for under-
graduate students regularily enrolled
in the University to supplement reg-
ular work and to fulfill requirementsa
for special curricula, certain tech-
nical courses for teachers, librarians,
engineers and professional men
actvie practice and courses leading
higher degrees.

Katayev' s Play
OpensDramatic
S easonTonight
Mary Pray, Sarah Pierce
Support Charles Harrell
In 'Path Of Flowers'
"The Path of Flowers," a humorous
satire on the marriage code of Soviet
Russia by the young playwright Val-
entine Katayev, will be presented to-
day at 8:30 p.m. in the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre as the first offering
for the summer season of the Mich-
igan Repertory Players.
Katayev's successful comedy hit,
"Squaring the Circle," was one of the
most popular of last summer's plays.
The current production tells the story
of a young Communist leader who
preaches free love and non-clerical
marriage, and the varying success
which greets his attempts to put his
theories into practice.
Charles Harrell plays the leading
role of the farce, supported by Sarah
Pierce and Mary Pray as his wife and
sweetheart respectively. Virgini a
Frink plays another of the hero's
sweethearts, while Hattie Bell Ross,
Edward Jurist, Claribel Baird, Nancy
Bowman, Morlye Baer and Ralph Bell
complete the cast. Valentine B.
Windt, Director of Play Production,
directs the performance.
"The Path of Flowers" will be pre-
sented again tomorrow, Thursday
and Saturday at the same time. Tick-
ets are available at the Lydia Men-
delssohn box office in the League.

75th NEAMeeting
DETROIT, June 28.-(Special to
The Daily) - Arthur E. Morgan,
chairman of the Tennessee Valley
Authority told the 75th Annual Na-
tional Education Association meeting
fere tonight that too much emphasis
cannot be placed "on the idea that
education must concern itself with
the whole of human personality in all
relations to individuals, to society,
and to the physical world."
Morgan said that in this philosophy
he found himself in sharp disagree-
ment with President Robert M. Hut-
chins of the University of Chicago.
Wallace On General Welfare
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace, in an address prepared for
delivery at last night's session, told
the general conference that to serve
the "general welfare" it is "essential
that the schools of the United States
give more definite instruction about
the soil, population and income."
There never can be satisfactory sal-
aries for teachers, he said, until there
is "scurity of tenure for farmers."
Members of the University of Mich-
igan faculty speaking at sessions of
today's convention included Dean
James B. Edmonson of the education
school, Prof. Francis D. Curtis of the
education. school, Prof. H. O. Whitte-

at 1 p.m. in the Book-Cadillac hotel,
and Professor Curtis spoke before the
department of science instruction at
2 p.m. on the subject of "Shall De-
sirable Objectives Be the Basis fo
the Selection of Subject Matter?"
Professor Whittemore talked to a
group interested in landscape design.
"Fundamentals of Landscape Design
That Could Be Taught Through Gar-
dening Work," and Professors Woody
and Anning addiessed a group inter-
ested in mathematics.
Prof. John Sundwall of the hygiene
department, Prof. Henry Carver of
the mathematics department and
Prof. Fred C. Dunham of the Latin

tion today and Dean Edmonson will

150 Ask Permits
TO Drive Autos
During Summer
Cars May Be Used Only
As Recreational Means;
Social Use Forbidden
More than 150 students so far have
applied for permits to drive automo-
biles during the Summer Session, the
office of the Dean of Students an-
nounced yesterday.
The office called special attention
to the fact that many students who
indicated intention of driving a car
during the summer did not put the
license number of their car on the
registration blank. It is necessary
that this be done before the office can
consider any applications for permits.
All students desiring to drive cars
must secure permits at Dean of Stu-
dent's office, Room 2, University Hall,
and it was especially emphasized that
the filling out of the registration card
in the section devoted to automobile
operation does not constitute a per-
mit to drive.
Passengers may be carried in cars
in connection with athletic activities,
but mixed company in a car after
9 p.m. will not be permitted. With
the exception of the recreational fea-
ture the social and personal use of

Denounced In House For
Strike Policy
WARREN, O., June 28.--(P)-
Chief of Police Gillen announced
tonight the "smashing of a dyna-
mite ring" through the arrest
and the confession, he said, of
three C.I.O. strikers. The confes-
sion, he said, solved a series of
dynamitings in the vicinity of the
Republic Steel Company mill
here.
The confessions named Gus
Hall, the C.I.O. organizer for the
Warren-Nileis strike sector, as
having plotted the bombings, the
chief said.
Charges of "unlawful posses-
sion and use of explosives" were
made against Hall and five
others, three of whom were placed
in jail. The crime is a peniten-
tiary offense.
Gillen said he had sighed
statements from the three men
in custody, named as Arthur
Scott, John Boraweic and George
Bundas.
Their statements, as related by
the police chief--who said the
National Guard cooperated in the
investigation-charged Hall with
directing the bombing plots.
The statement of Scott, as
made to City Solicitor George
Buchwalter, charged Hall with
having issued orders to blow up
homes of non-strikers and to set
off bombs on the property of the
Republic Steel Corporation, the
Light and Power Company, the
Baltimore and Ohio anud the
Pennsylvania Railroads, a bridge
at the Trumbull Cliff furnaces
belonging to Republic, and hun-
dreds of gallons of volatile ben-
zol, stored near Republic's benzol
works.
