PAGE FOUR THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAYJULY 23, 1937 Murphy Signs Bills For Penal Reorganization Present Prison, Welfare Commissions Abolished Under New Acts LANSING, July 22-(P)-The Ad- ministration reorganization program became law today when Governor Murphy signed bills setting up new agencies for the control of the state penal and welfare systems. The acts abolish the present prison and welfare commissions and install in their places corrections and state public assistance commissions. The welfare reorganization extends into the counties, where new welfare boards are to be formed. Due to the details involved the law becomes ef- fective next Jan. 1, with the county boards to be established next March 1. Governor Murphy said, however, he will begin selecting new personnel for the State Welfare department at once. Starts Penal Reorganization The Governor started immediately the penal reorganization. The law establishes a state corrections de- partment, with a director and three assistants in charge of prison man- agement, paroles and probation. In- dications were that Hilmer Gellein, present parole commissioner, will be- come director, with Joel R. Moore, warden of the State Prison of South- ern Michigan at the head of the prison management division and Ralph Hall Ferris, a member of the faculty of the Detroit Institute of Technology as head of the probation division. The governor is considering several persons to handle paroles. He named three of the five members of the corrections commission which will replace the prison commission. They were John W. Miner, Jackson, George Burke, Ann Arbor, and Frpd Johnson,Detroit. A parole board, with the assistant director in charge of paroles as chair- man, will pass upon all applications for paroles. The governor will be re- lieved entirely of issuing paroles. No inmate of a state prison may be paroled prior to the expiration of his minimum term except upon the writ- ten recommendation of the sentenc- ing judge. New Hospital Commission The welfare measures set up a new State Hospital Commission entirely divorced from the Public Assistance Commission. The present State Emer- gency Welfare Commission, State Corrections Commission, State Insti- tute Commission and the Old Age As- sistance Bureau are abolished. Their functions are taken over by the public assistance commission and by the State Board of Education. With the approval of the reorgan- ization acts the Governor signed ap- propriation bills to finance the state hospitals and the prisons. They pro- vided $2,600,000 a year for prison op- eration and maintenance and $5,460,- 000 a year fo the operation of state hospitals and allied institutions. In addition a building program for the hospitals was approved. It calls for the expenditure of $3,410,935 in the current fiscal year and $3,021,500 next year. Approves School Aid Measure Altogether Murphy signed bills carrying appropriations of more than $75,000,000 for this year. He ap- proved the School Aid measure, granting $43,000,000 of state assist- ance annually. A bill appropriating more than $17,000,000 for depart- mental purposes this year was signed. It increased the appropriation for the state police sufficiently to permit the addition of 100 men. The Governor signed an appropria- tion of $230,183 this year and $224,- 983 next year for the operation of the Michigan Soldiers Home. He ap- proved grants of more than $6,000,000 a year for so-called special state pur- poses. The Governor signed "a fair trade" act, forbidding baking companies and gasoline filling stations to engage in ruinous price-cutting wars involving sale at a loss. It sets up a list of forbidden un- fair trade practices, including sale at lower than costprices "with intent to injure or destroy the business of a competitoror competitors," secret rebates, unearned discounts, and the giving of premiums to stimulate bus- iness. Green Disapproves Restaurant Packing DETROIT, July 22.-(P)-Un- abashed by disapproval of William, Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, members and sympathizers of the Waiters, Wait- resses and Cooks Union, an A.F.L. affiliate, continued their restraurant "packing" activities today. Hailed yesterday on its first ap- pearance as a new form of sit-down strike, the movement hit a second restaurant in the same chain today.

Sims Says Evaluation Is Essential Step In Building Measurements are not to be di- vorced from curriculum building for they are essential steps in the pro- cess, Dr. Verner M. Sims of the University of Alabama told a group yesterday in the auditorium of the University high school. "There are three steps to curricu- lum building," Dr. Sims said, "First, the aims of the new curriculum must be defined; second, the technique to attain the object must be developed; and third, measurements of the suc- cess of the new program must be made." Speaking on "Education Measure- ments and the New Curriculum," he said that measurements always have played an important part in any ed- ucational program, and that they al- ways will. "Therefore," Dr. Sims de- clared, "measurements must play an important part in the building of a curriculum." "America is in the throes of a cur- riculum development," he continued, "and to get a complete measurement of the results of a new curriculum, three things are necessary." "These are: the necessity of hav- ing measuring experts sit on the coun- cil of curriculum planning, the or- ganization of persons interested in evaluation of curriculum for ex- change of ideas, and the develop- ment of a plan of evaluation of measuring units for each unit of the curriculum," he concluded.

Shirley Hostess To Russian Fliers Usage Principle In Language Interpretation (Continued from Page 11 in such translations as 'fore-know- ing' for the Sanskrit 'prajanam.' Coleridge's notion, as quoted ap- provingly by the late Archbishop Trench in his treatise on etymology, was cited by Dr. Edgerton as another horrible example. Coleridge advised going back to the "primary sense" of word, which, according to Professor Edgerton, can mean nothing but ig-. noring usage and actually creating new, since unused, meanings. Denial that he was opposed to word or sense-creation in itself was ex- pressed by the speaker, but, as he said, "This seems to me a curious ground for the creation of new mean- ings. "We are always meeting people who say, 'You use that word in- correctly. It should mean this.' And they proceed to give us a meaning based upon the word's etymology. But once a word has acquired a meaning, regardless of how it has acquired that meaning, then it is ac- cepted, and that is an end of it- until another meaning is accepted."

They are the members of the 65 families, totaling 265 residents, who were able to get into the tent colony .on Lake Mendota. Scores had to be turned away. The camp, 25 years old this sum- mer, is for married students and their families. Each family gets a tent- home for $5 a month. Parents share in caring for the children so that father or mother can go to classes on the campus, three miles away, and be sure the youngsters are in good hands. Sandy-bottomed bathing beaches, Six Months In Spain Indelible To Lin i Fuhr (Continued from Page 1) the boy to comfort him in his own language. One of the most difficult things she has ever done, she says, was singing him an old Dutch lullaby he had requested. Holding his hand in the dark cold, a brave voice sang the soothing mel- ody they had both known frorh childhood, as Peter lost conscious- ness and died. Nearer Madrid now, Lini was put in complete charge of a hospital, and under her only Spanish peasant girls to do the work. She vividly recalls the night Fascist planes bombed mu- nitions trucks camped near Hospital Number 3. She and a doctor watched the streaking projectiles hurling to- ward the earth in the moonlight. One bomb . . . two bombs . .. three . . The fourth landed in the street out- side the hospital, and they stopped breathing waiting for the explosion. It didn't explode. There was no time to leave the night-long cases of amputations now flooding the tiny hospital. In the morning they opened the German- made bomb, found it filled with saw-; dust and a note: "This will not ex- plode. Victory to the Spanish gov- ernment, from the German workers." Lini Fuhr went to Spain in Jan- uary with five other nurses, six doc- tors, two ambulance drivers, a tech- nician, four ambulances, and a 100- bed hospital complete. She intends returning as soon as possible even though it means possible death. Her concluding words last night were: "We are proud to work there." She ate beans for four long months,, she sawta woman and baby blown to bits a few steps from her, she worked in impromptu hospitals without heat or sanitation facilities, she searched through the whole of Madrid for intestinal needles badly needed when supplies did not arrive-without avail, s h e worked interminable hours each day, she heard from home once in months, she witnessed bombs dropping almost each day, she saw the residents of Madrid refuse to follow orders to evacuate the city, prefering to fight it out with kitchen knives if it comes to that, she has seen thousands of starving, ill- clothed people fighting with a pride that she thinks will eventually win. She's going back as soon as possible. At present she is making addressesa to American audiences, bringing thanks of the Spanish people. The] Committee on Medical Aid to Span- ish Democracy including many of the Who's Who of American medicine, has sent 100 persons, 45 ambulances, and six complete hospitals units to Spain. The group includes Dr. Fred- erick A. Coller, professor of surgery here, and Dr. Reuben L.

Bombardments In Spain Kill 63, Wound 150 co's insurgents, after being repulsed in an attack, moved back across the Perales River and began to dig in. Another assault on government po- sitions east of the Guadarrama River was replied. Both sides turned withering shell- fire on smal lobjectives, neither risk- ing a large scale offensive in the bit- terly contested area where the "Bat- tle for Madrid" has been in progress for a week. Each evidently was wait- ing for the other to crack first. There was no change, consequently, in the thumb shaped salient govern- ment troops have jabbed into insur- gent territory about 15 miles west of Madrid. The "thumb" points south, its tip at Brunete and its sides at Quijorna on the west and Villafranca Del Par- dillo on the east. Insurgent forces centered their pressure in the Brunete sector in an effort to drive between the govern- ment lines. Insurgent commanders believe they can force the government back from its 100 square mile salient if they can split its forces at Brunete. On the other hand, the government is pointing the "thumb" toward Na- valcarnero, south of Brunete, an im- portant base for the siege of Madrid, and at Getafe, further southwest, an extreme outpost of the siege lines. The government high command be- lieves that by driving behind the siege lines, completely isolating it from the main body of the insurgents, it can lift the sige of the capital and,. possibly, deliver the crucial blow of the war. Local Autopsy Awaits Victim Of Hotel Blaze As St. Clair county authorities launched a widespread search for a dishwasher at the Daybreak Inn at New Baltimore,which burned to the ground at dawn yesterday, they. an- nounced that the body of a girl, in connection with whose death the man is sought, would be sent here for au- topsy by Dr. John C. Bugher of the University pathology staff. Dr. Bugher, reached at his home last night, said he had at that time received no word from the officers, but was prepared to make any inves- tigation they might request. Sheriff W. L. Van Antwerp an- nounced that the body, that of Mary Jane Mohan, 16 years old, of De- troit, was found, burned almost be- yond recognition and with the skull fractured, on a mattress in the ruins of the dining room, directly below the room which had been occupied by the missing dishwasher, James McCor- mick, 31 years old.

All blooded race horses trace their descent from three Arabian Studs, Byerly Turk, Darly Arabian, and FROM THESE THREE STALLIONS originated the superb racing strains of Eclipse, Herod and Godolphin Barb. Crossed with English mares these stallions produced horses vastly superior to any before known. The strain proved so fine that it was kept carefully intact and resulted in the fleet Thoroughbred. OF THESE THREE HORSES, perhaps, the history Matchem, known wherever men discuss fine horses. Strange to say, the Thoroughbreds thus developed proved far fleeter than the horses by whom they were sired, and today it is common knowledge that a medium Thoroughbred will outrun the best of the Arabians. But from the three noble stallions they received an unmatched heritage for courage, endurance, intelligence, and speed that would respond to breeding.
