THE MICHIGAN DAILY ,. Lingusts see X-Ray Photos Of Vocal Cords Two Speakers Highlight Meeting Of American LinguisticSociety Here (Continued from Page 1) then explained in detail how the two 'sharp' laryngeals 'ha' and 'Ain' produced this change and how cer- tain other environmental conditions resulted in the remaining 'e' vowels in Babylonian. "Umlaut," he con- cluded, "operated in different ways at different times in these different Semitic dialects." Further sessions today will occur at 9:15 a. m. and 2 p. m. in the Rack- ham amphitheater, where a number of papers will be read on various linguistic topics. Both meetings are open to the public. Dr. Raven I. McDavid, jr., the first speaker at the opening session yes- terday afternoon, told of the tribula- tions of trying to teach the Interna- tional Phonetic Alphabet to cadets in the military academy, The Citadel of Charleston, S. C., where he is a member of the faculty. The audience next' jumped back- ward several thousand years to fol- low Prof. Edgar H. Sturtevant of Yale University into "The Prehistory of the Indo-European Stems in long a '." Dr. Sturtevant posited two ini- tial assumptions, first that the re- cently-discovered ancient Hittite is not an Indo-Europeanlanguage but is cognate with it, both having de- scended from a parent Indo-Hittite, and second that the four hypotheti- cal laryngeal consonants which schol- ars have attributed to Indo-European did not all exist in that tongue but did exist in Indo-Hittite. He then showed how Indo-European stems in long 'a' resulted from one of the Indo-Hittite laryngeals, the voiceless velar fricative, which produced a lengthening of the vowel in faculta- tive verbs derived from adjectives. A study of the French dialect spok- en by a small Creole settlement in Missouri was detailed by Prof. J. M.- Carriere of Northwestern University. These Creoles, he said, numbering about 700, and descended from the early Canadian "courieus des bois," live in the lead mining district near Potosi and Ste. Genevieve, about sixty-five miles south of St. Louis. Unlike the French in Louisiana, these people' did not borrow many words fromSpanish or from Ameican In- dian languages but have greatly af- fected their native French tongue by recent borrowings from English. Dr. Carriere read a list of words thus borrowed, including such nouns' as "bommeur" and "traveleur" from English "bum" or "bummer" and "traveler," verbs like 'filer" and "lender" from English "feel" and "lend," and the phrase "bommer a la tour" for "to bum around." But the growing influence of English upon this dialect, he said, points to its speedy extinction. Another experiment in language teaching received attention in the paper read by Prof. Hermann Meier of Drew University, who related how he has been using studies in etymol- ogy to promote interest in language among undergraduataes who, he' charged, are ordinarily graduated from American colleges illiterate with respect to their own language. The final paper of the afternoon was that of the society's secretary, Prof. R. G. Kent, who appeared in place of the delayed Prof. Miles Han- ley. Dr. Kent, professor of compara- tive philology at the University of Pennsylvania, discussed the problem presented by the recent finding of a small tile bearing on both sides in- scriptions in old Persian. Although a European scholar has published anj article attempting to translate the inscriptions, it is Dr. Kent's conten- tion that certain characteristics of the inscription which deviate from the features normally found in old Per- sian make it certain that the thing is a forgery probably made about 1929.- Police Claim Confession In Bank Robbery Fountain, Mich.

New Bar Head Asks Probe Of Civil Liberties F. J. Hogan Sees Need Of Defense Committee To Protect 'Rith Or Poor' CLEVELAND, July 29.-UiP)-Frank J. Hogan, 61-year-old Washington trial lawyer,'took over the presidency of the American Bar Association to- day and immediately urged the crea- tion of a committee to defend and protect the civil liberties of American citizens, "Rich or poor." Unopposed for the highes. office of the " Association. Hogan was elected to succeed Arthur .T. Vanderbilt of Newark, N.J., as the organization closed its 61st annual meeting. "It seems to me to be important," Hogan said at his induction into of- fice, "that the American Bar Asso- ciation shall take immediate and practical steps to assure the American citizen, be he poor or rich, that if rights and immunities vouchsafed to him by the Bill of Rights are any- where denied to him or threatened with denial, impartial and speedy in- vestigation will be made, and, where the facts warrant it, there will be certainty of the assistance of compe- tent lawyers, for defense and protec- tion, in cases which otherwise might* go undefended. "It may come to be considered, as it should be, that violations of the Bill of Rights are intolerable, no matter whom they affect and wheth- er they be committed by the Mayor of an American City, a Committee of the United States Senate, an -Ad- ministrative Tribunal, a Governmen- tal department, or an official drunk with temporary power, contemptuous of constitutional limitations, and reckless of the rights of others." The House of Delegates went into session immediately after Hogan spoke and authorized him to appoint a committee of nine men for the de- fense of liberties vouchsafed by the Bill of Rights. A last-minute attempt to put the bar on record in the Jersey City "free speech" controversy failed when the House of Delegates accepted a motion by Sylvester C. Smith, Jr., of Newark, N.J., to refer a resolution to the new defense of liberties committee. Hogan praised the- Association's section for judicial administration for its work on proposed procedural changes in state courts and recom- mended the study and support of proposals for the appointment, rath- er than direct election of judges. The Association's Board of Gover- nors approved in principle today an Institute on the Legal Aspects of Labor Disputes, which will be held at San Francisco preceding the 1939 convention of the Association. Hawaii Clipper Missing Over Pacific Ocean Typhoon Cradle Gigantic Search Air Begun By Forces; Radio By Sea, Military Is Silent (Continued from Page 1)' Clipper also did not affect the sched- uled departure of his sister ship, the China Clipper, from Alameda, Calif.,' with the usual crew and a passenger list. First aspects of the Hawaii Clip- per hunt indicated it might approach the proportions of the epic search for Amelia Earhart and her pilot, Fred- erick J. Noonan, who vanished July 2, 1937, while trying to fly 2,500 miles, across the South Pacific. The advance contingent of search- ing ships today included two mine- sweepers, six submarines, three de- stroyers; an aircraft tender, a sub- marine tender and a submarine res- cue ship. At least seven Army planes were immediately assigned to scan the sea east of Luzon, and Samar Island, and to watch the coast line. The flying fraternity generally agreed there was a good chance of rescue if the big plane did not crash. Largest of the overseas planes now in regular transoceanic passenger service, the Hawaii Clipper and itss two sisters were built to stand off the sea, and equipped to care for their occupants in emergencies. ' They have water-tight bulkheads, making them relatively buoyant in case of leaks in violent landings. In the hold were collapsible lifeboats and individual life belts. There were rations aboard to last several days. The plane also was equipped with "breather cups," fitting over the mouth of the wearer, to col- lect moisture he ordinarily loses through respiration. This moisture condenses into water, which in an emergency may be used again and again. The Hawaii Clipper also carried a kite type antenna to maintain wire- less communication in the event of a forced landing. She was fully equipped to send and receive while a- flat. Her crew had three methods of navigation-dead reckoning, celestial observation and by adio direction finder. There are no radio beams on the eastern end of the transpacific route, but the direction finder, oper- ated from all Pan American inter- mediate points, usually gves a plane instant and accurate information on bearings. Date For Bridge Opening Depends Upon President LANSING, July 29.-(;)-G. Don- ald Kennedy, Deputy State Highway Commissioner, said today the date for dedication of the International Bridge' linking Port Huron, and Sarnia, Ont., would be set when President Roose- velt returns Aug. 12 to Washington. The President plans to visit Michi- gan next month to participate in the dedication ceremonies. Exploring And Study, Work Of4 Museum Staff Digging Dinosaurs, Desert1 Mapping, All In Day's Work ForGeologists Exploring in the summer, studying in the winter-that is the round of life for the museums experts of the University of Michigan. At present the University Museums have three expeditions in the field, gathering material and data which will be the subject of careful research when the members return to Ann Arbor. One group is working at a dinosaur bed approximately 25 miles from Fort Peck, Mont., under the direction of Prof. Ermine C. Case, of the Geology and Paleontology Departments. In a region of excessive rains, deep can- yons and mosquitoes, the daily jour- ney to the diggings from Fort Peck, where the party is staying at a hotel raised for workers on a nearby dam, has proved both uncomfortable and dangerous. At one time, the car in which they travel was halted six inches from the edge of a precipice. In spite of these evils, a lecture before the townspeople one Sunday on the work of the expedition so aroused local curiosity that a group of them was conducted to the scene, where they could actually see how dinosaur bones are extracted from the earth. An almost complete dinosaur has been found. Professor Case is assisted by William Bettner, prepara- tor, and John Wilson. Prof. George M. Ehlers, of the Geol- ogy Department, is in charge of geolo- gical field work at the State Bridge camp near Bond, Colo., and at Camp Davis in Jackson's Hole, Wyo. The first half of the summer was spent at State Bridge and the latter half is being spent at Camp Davis, the University's Rocky Mountains field station. Advanced courses of instruc- tion are being offered in geology, as well as surveying for engineers. Camp Davis was organized under the supervision of the late Prof. J. B. Davis in 1874, for instruction in sur- veying. The camp occupied several sites in Michigan until 1929, when the University purchased lands in Jackson's Hole.

It was the Tiger's sixth consecutive victory as they extended their longest winning streak of the season. Elden Auker, submarine ball hurler, went the routes for his eighth victory. Greenberg hits his 34th homer off Almon Williams with none on base to tie the score at 2-all in . the fourth inning. His 35th came in the eighth off the delivery of relief pitcher Nel- son Potter, with two mates aboard. Charley Gehringer hit his 12th homer for Detroit in the first inning. In addition to his two homers, Greenberg cracked out a double in the seventh inning when the Tigers broke a tie with a four-run rally to sew up the ball game. YANKS WIN CHICAGO, July 29 --A')- The White Sox's butter-fingers did a little more damage than the Yankees' to- day, and the New Yorkers came through with a 4 to 3 victory to re- main a game in front in the American league race. Each side committed three errors to ruin an otherwise tight pitching duel in which Lefty Gomez took the second decision in a week over south- paw Thornton Lee. Last Sunday, in New York, Lee tossed a two-hitter at the world champions but lost be- cause of similar loose fielding.
