Official Publication Of The Summer Session VOL. XLVL No. 16 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS 60 Fresh Air Campers Hold Tag Day Here Higher Costs Of Living Force Greater Budget For This Summer Officials Say Goal Is Set At $2,500 With $2,500 the goal, three score of sun-tanned Fresh Air Campers will comb the campus all day today in an annual summer Tag Day. If the campers don't reach the goal, some of the fellows on the list of 160 waiting in Detroit, Hamtramck, and Wyandotte will be disappointed. Each year several hundred boys unable otherwise to spend four weeks at camp, are given the opportunity of enjoying the pleasures of the Fresh Air Camp at Lake Patterson, 25 miles from here, where 20 University students and graduates as counselors under George G. Alder, director, in- struct the boys occupying the 15 large cabins in swimming, nature lore, handicraft, art, and games. 320 Are Selected This year 320 boys have been se- lected by cooperating schools and so- cial bureaus in the above cities to be Fresh Air Campers. The camp is supported by contributions from many friends of the camp, together with student donations, gathered twice yearly-once in the spring, and again each summer. Because of the rise in living costs, the balance need- ed to fulfill the budget this summer is higher than in previous years. Two loudspeaker systems will be used in the campaign today and to- morrow, when the crew here will be augmented by a second group o'f campers who will arrive after break- fast to scour the downtown area. Camp Open For Inspection Visiting days are held on Sundays, when the camp.is open for inspection in the afternoons. Parents are espe- cially urged to make visits at such times, although patrons and friends of the camp may visit at any time, according to Mr. Alder. The Fresh Air Camp, rapidly be- coming one of the best equipped camps of its type in the country, in- clude 15 airy cabins with double- deck beds, a council room for in- door campfire activities, offices, staff quarters, and shops, together with a director's lodge, dining room, kitchen, museum, bakery, infirmery, and water-front building. Dr. Warren E. Forsythe is in charge of medical examinations of the camp- ers with the assistance of Dr. George May. Governor Sees Fast Settlement Of Truck Strike Pickets Ordered To Desist From Halting Of Trucks; No Violence Reported DETROIT, July 15. -(P)-Gov. Frank Murphy predicted today a quick settlement of a strike that re- duced sharply the number of trucks operating between Michigan cities and instructed state police to keep the highways open while the strike is in progress. In three counties, sheriff's officers and state policemen ordered strike pickets to desist from halting trucks. There was no violence. There were conflicting reports on the effectiveness of the strike. Sev- eral large users of truck transporta- tion said they had been only slightly affected. Continuation of the strike, some of them said, would affect their shipments however within a short time. Interstate traffic and movement of freight within cities were not af- fected, but the Internaional Broth- erhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and helpers attempted to prevent the interstate shipment of general freight until its wage de- mands are met. Automobiles, gasoline, milk, fruit, other perishable goods, and beer were exempted specifically by the union. At Port Huron, a truck carrying mail and bread was not permitted to leave until the bread was unloaded. Governor Murphy sought an im- mediate resumption of negotiations that were broken off late yesterday when the strike was called for mid- night.- He said he was confident the conference he hoped to arrange would result in a quick settlement. cooperative Government Gains Favor Over Strong Central Rule Hutchins Declares Youths jCondition Much Better Than Two Years Ago Although opportunities open to the youth who typifies America's youth problem are relatively limited, the situation today is not nearly as bad as it was two years ago at this time, Dr. H. C. Hutchins, assistant secre- tary of the Educational Policies Com- mission yesterday told a group in the auditorium of the University high school. "Wheh the situation was at its worst about two years ago," he said, "the National Youth Administration was brought into the picture, and it has provided many opportunities for young people, as well as funds which have enabled thousands of individuals to continue their work in high school and college." "But in spite of these helpful in- fluences the youth problem remains with us today in many of its aspects, although the emergency nature of it has largely disappeared," Dr. Hut- chins stated. Looking at the meaning which the youth problem has for the present generation as well as for those to come, he pointed out that there were five aspects that must be considered. "We must look at the effect that the depression has had upon the young people who are now assuming adult responsibilities, we must con- sider those young people who, under more auspicious circumstances might have become leaders in many honor- able occupations, have been left to develop their talents as best they could," Dr. Hutchins said. "Then, in the third place," he con- tinued, "we find that a generation which is shot through and through w th members who have travelled along socially undesirable paths, must necessarily have lesser respect for the established institutions of our culture than others more favorably situated. In the fourth place, there is no doubt but what the depression has taken' a heavy toll of the health assets possessed by the young adult pop- ulation." "And finally, as the last of these discouraging effects," he stated, "let me point out the loss in creative abil- ity which the circumstances of this, undeveloped generation has im- posed upon our national culture." Dr. Hutchins continued saying that the social trends affecting youth are not all of a discouraging nature. "The Federal government now provides through the National Youth Admin- (Continued on Page 4) Funeral Services Held For Gershwin NEW YORK, July 15.-(')-Fu- neral services were held simultane- ously in Hollywood and New York to- day for George Gershwin, whose nimble fingers and lilting genius for jazz carried him from the lower East Side to an eminent place in the world of music. The body of the young composer who died in Hollywood Sunday lay in the sanctuary of Temple Emanuel, on Fifth Avenue, as the last rites were said. Followed by Mayor F. H. La Guar- dia, Al Jolson, former Mayor James J. Walker, and a host of admirers from all walks of life, the flower- banked coffin was taken from the temple. _________ FearvOf StateTCompulsion Gives Way To Emphasis On Voluntary Methods Many people who fear a strong central government look hopefully to the cooperative because of its em- phasis on voluntary methods rather than on state compulsion, Dr. H.

The war office announced the de- cision to send units from the home garrison in such a way as to empha- size its view that the situation in North China, where relatively small Chinese and Japanese forces have, been fighting for eight days, has be- come grave. Such emergency action has not been taken by the Japanese army since. 1932, when more than two divisions were sent to Shanghai to overcome Chinese resistance. Previously government leaders had announced that "adequate armed forces" would, be sent from Japan proper, Korea and Manchuria to the North China zone of conflict. The war office did not state how many men or what units were being sent to China. (Chinese reports have said three. Japanese divisions were crossing the China Sea. A Japanese division var- ies in strength from 8,000, to 16,000 men. Frequently Tokyo has an- nounced a decision to dispatch troops to the continent at about the time they 'were being landed on Chinese soil). _ WASHINGTON, July 15.-(P)- President Roosevelt replied with a ringing "no" tonight to those who lave urged him to drop his court re- organization proposal as the result of the death of Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader. "I believe it is the duty of the Congress, and especially of the mem- bers of the majority party in the Sen- ate and the House of Representatives, to pass legislation at this session to carry out the objectives," he declared. Abandonment of "judicial reform" means abandonment of the goals of economic security and social better- ment, the President added, and the responsibility will be "squarely on the Congress of the United States." Writes To Barkley Outlining his attitude in a long letter to Senator Barkley of Ken- tucky, the acting Democratic leader, Mr. Roosevelt said he had hoped with him that a "decent respect" for the memory of Senator Robinson would defer political and legislative discussions at least until after his funeral. He said he was glad Berkley had called his attention to "certain events of yesterday and today." "It is with regret," Mr. Roosevelt wrote, "that I find that advantage is being taken of what, in all decency, should be a period of mourning." He added he was compelled in the public interest, against every Inclin- ation, to write to the acting leader. Letter Is A Great Appeal Mr. Roosevelt's letter constituted he most vigorous public appeal he has made for court reorganization since he discussed the issue with the country in a broadcast months ago. Over four years ago, he declared, it became apparent to the American people and to the leadership of the new Administration in Washington that "grave problems of many kinds called for great reforms." The people, he continued, recognized the need for bank reform, agricultural reform, labor reform, housing reform and judicial reform. When he recommended reorganiz- ation of the judiciary last February 5, he said, the time had come to act upon that subject. "At no time have I or any member of my Administration insisted that the method or methods originally' proposed be sacred or final except to (continued on Page 3) Monroe Has Light Cut Off By Storm MONROE, July 15.-(ff)-A wind, rain and electrical storm tonight caused considerable damage and left Monroe without lights or power.' Fifty persons who were in a theatre escaped injury when the storm ripped off the roof and tossed it against a grocery store across the street, caving in the front. The theatre screen and some oth- er fixtures were- ruined. The Detroit Edison Co., plant was damaged extensively. Residence and street lights were out and factories with night shifts closed for lack of power. Utility officials said service likely would not be restored before morning. Trees and poles were toppled over, blocking streets and roads. Lightning struck a few buildings, and the storm blew in the side of an old section of the Consolidated Paper Co., south side plant. X Pro University To Have World's Third Largest Telescope Soon The University of Michigan will; soon have the third largest telescope in the world. A 97 and one-half inch reflector is already completed and when installed will be surpassed in size only by the celebrated 200-inch mirror of the California Institute of Technology, and by the 100-inch re- flector of the Carnegie Institute's Mt. Wilson Observatory in California. The University reflector has been cast in the Corning Glass Works, at Corning, N.Y. A try at an 86-inch one in January, 1936, was unsuccess- ful, but the 971/%-inch was highly sat- isfactory. The pouring was done last September. However, it took more than eight months to cool in the Corning ovens. It is now stored at Corning, pending construction of a new observatory-. The probable location of this build- ing is a University-owned site of obout 100 acres, south of Base Lake, and 14 miles from Ann Arbor. The construction itself is being held up indefinitely by a lack of funds, al- though a new observatory has been and the mirror is ours. It cost about $15,000. The reflecting type of telescope was chosen rather than the refractor type (with which the observer looks directly at the object through lenses) because of several advantages they former has over the latter. Chief; among these is the single polished! surface of the reflector. The reflec- tor needs four highly polished sur- faces, and two perfectly transparent lenses. Also there are the advantages of comparative facility of construction, the great weight being at the lower end of the tube, and of the compara- tive shortness of the tube necessary to bring the object into focus. This last advantage is well illustrated by the largest of the two types now in use. The largest refractor is at the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago which is 40 inches in di- ameter and has a focal length of more than 750 inches. On the other hand, the largest reflector, in use, is at the Mt. Wilson Observatory near Pasa- Give Final Lecture Of Week This Evening 0 How modern scholarship has pro-I gressed in its research into the origin of the alphabet was traced yesterday noon at the regular Linguistic Insti- tute luncheon conference by Dr. Zell- ig Harris of the University of Penn- sylvania. The concluding Institute lecture of the week will be presented at 7:30 p.m. today in Room 25 of Angell' Hall. Prof. Walter Petersen of the University of Chicago, one of the few special guest lecturers of the summer, will discuss "Hittite and the Substratum Theory." In his talk yesterday Dr. Harris pointed out first that the alphabet is, not a natural development from earlier forms of writing. Although an ideographic or logographic lan- guage exhibits a tendency to develop simpler signs or to eliminate the more complex signs, an alphabet does not necessarily evolve from such a pro- cess. He pointed out further the general agreement today that all alphabets are derived from one original alpha- bet, and then proceeded to explain the theories about its inception. Any acceptable theory as to the origin of the alphabet, he said, must account for certain phenomena. These are that the order of the signs is the same in the various languages, that the names of the signs corre- spond in the early languages such as Syriac and Hebrew, that these names stand for objects or things, and that the early forms of the al- 'phabet uniformly lack signs for vow- By CLINTON B. CONGER 1 The geological history of Niagara' Falls is a history of a stream of water and the forces opposing it. Called "a clock of recent geological time" by Professor-emeritus William H. Hobbs, the Falls and the Niagara Gorge be- low them form a vivid record of the geological forces that have been at work in the Great Lakes region in the 40,000 years or more-since the forma- tion of the Falls by the recession of the Great Glacier. Recession of the Great Glacier into Canada left the country tilted east- ward, so that water from Lake Erie flowed through a wide river to Lake Iroquois, a large body of water ly- ing in the present position of Lake Ontario. The waters of Lake Iroquois were still quite low as a result of the re- cent pressure of the glacier, and as a result the Niagara River poured from some height directly into Lake Iro- quois, creating a considerable water- fall at Lewiston. As the stream of water dropped 300 feet from the top of the cliff at back into the rock for three-eighths of a mile, the river lost a portion of its supply. The Great Glacier, re- ceding into Canada, had uncovered the Trent River, which was another route leading from Lake Algonquin to Lake Ontario. The water from the Lakes was therefore drained through the Georgian Bay region. With the smaller cutting power the Falls receded for one and one- eighth miles in a channel only 60 feet deep and 500 feet wide. The water from Lake Ontario at this time reached the ocean by way of the Mo- hawk and Hudson rivers, as the St. Lawrence was still covered by the ice cap. The Mohawk valley is high- er than the St. Lawrence and in con- sequence the level of Lake Ontario was higher than at present. As the glacier drew back still far- ther, it shut off the Trent River, hav- ing previously opened it. This it did indirectly, by allowing the Trent Valley to spring back up. Relieved of the weight of the ice cap, the entire region of eastern Ontario is Niagara Falls Is Called 'Clock Of GeologicalTime' By Hobbs, tor oergei uanenn-were reaa yfor another round of acclaim tomorrow at Los Angeles.
