Y., July 14.-(P)-Around the world in less than four days,. Howardl Hughes, Texas millionaire-sportsan, and his four intrepid companions sliced the globe-girdling record in half today, completing a 14,824-mile circuit in 91 hours and 14 minutes. Wildly cheered by an estimated 25,- 000 spectators, Hughes swooped his big silov' monoplane to a perfect landing here at 1:37 p.m., EST. Wiley Post, flying solo in 1933, took 7 days, 18 hours and 49 minutes for virtually the same route-. Officials of the American Aeronau- tical Union announced tonight that the official Hughes' 'round-the-world record would be computed on the "ar- rival" time of 1:34:10 p.m., EST, and - not on the landing time of 1:37 p.m. Hughes' Official Record This makes Hughes' official record three days, 19 hours, 14 minutes, 10 seconds. The arrival time was computed atc the moment Hughes' ship passed over the Administration Building of FloydC Bennett Airport. The landing time was the moment the wheels touched the ground-1:37 p.m. (OEST). Hughes' eyes were red. His shirt was smudged with grime. Almost without sleep, he had stuck it out at the controls of the big sky-streaking ship, aided only by an automatic gyro-pilot, ever since taking off from Floyd Bennett Field last Sunday at 6:=20 pa.. EST. Ninety hours later, he was stillf gunning the twin-motored plane at terrific speed across Manhattan's sky- scrapers this 'afternoon, after the final swift 1,054-mile hop from Min- neapolis this morning. Discloses Dangers Near the breaking-point as the ship landed, Hughes disclosed for the first time two facts he never had hinted in his radio broadcasts during the flight-that faulty maps nearly scored a tragic finale to the aerial odyssey in Siberia, and that on the trans-Atlantic stretch his gas supplyr had been "barely enough" to reach Paris. If the flight had continued at nightj out of Yakutsk, Siberia, as originallyt planned, he said, the plane mightt well have crashed into jagged moun-i tains the height of which was in-b correctly recorded on their maps. "It's a damn good thing I didn't try to fly out of Yakutsk at night," thea lanky Texan said fervently. "The maps we have show there are1 no mountains higher than 6,500 feet there. We measured the mountains as we passed over them the next Italians Have AryanOrigin ROME, July 14-(P)-The Italian people were declared today to be a race "of Aryan origin" by a group of Fascist university professors at conclusion of studies undertaken under auspces of the Governmnt. Publication of the racial doctrine gave Italy's 47,000 Jews cause for disquiet, for it asserted Jews "do not belong to the Italian race" and could not be fused with it without altering its "purely European character." "Conception of races in Italy should be essentially Italian, and in an Italian-Nordic direction," the pro- fessors' report said. Newspaper Goes Further "This does not mean, however, the introduction into Italy of German racial theories as they now exist or the assertion that Italians and Scan- dinavians are the same thing." The authoritative Fascist news- paper, Il Giornale D'Italia, edited by Virginit Gayda, however, went fur- ther than the savants in linking Italy's 43,000,000 people with the "Nordic" concept prominent in Nazi racial theory. "The term 'Nordic' racially has no geographical significance, but serves simply to indicate that human type which the immortal Linnaeus called Homo Europaeus,' the paper said.f Silent On Romans "Physically this humansrace cor- responds to the ideals of classic beauty sung by our greatest poets and depicted by great Latin and Italian artists," the paper continued. Psy- chologically this type corresponds to the heroic ideal of man. Thus direct- ed, the Italian race of the Fascist era will become more 'organized, solid, silent and powerful." Though exaltation of Latin civili- ation heretofore has held the prime place in all Italian culture, the new doctrine was silent on that point, reserving its praise for Aryanism. This departure was viewed by pol- itical circles as marking a still strong- orientation of Fascist policy toward Germany. Colonialism Told By Yandenboseli American Colonial Policy Contrasted To Dutch Traditional American idealism, the heritage of its own fight against co- lonialism, and comparative inexper- ience, were designated as the major characteristics of American policy in the Philippines, by Dr. Amry Vanden- bosch, of the University of Kentucky, in the last lecture of the second series being sponsored here by the Institute of Far Eastern Studies. In contrast to the Dutch, who have allowed the people of the East Indies to retain their native customs and language, America has followed a policy of assimilation in its regime in the Philippines. Furthermore, said Dr Vnenn sch the United States i Disarmament, FDR Declares Europe Must Take Lead; San Franciscans Hear Talk On U.S. Relations President Reviews Navy Show In Bay SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 14.- (A)-President Roosevelt told. a crowd at the San Francisco Exposition grounds today that the United States stands ready and willing to join with other nations in effecting "a definite reduction in world armament." The President, speaking in the bunting-draped Administration build- ing of the 1939 Exposition, gave a plain indication that this country looks to other world powers to ini- tiate disarmament efforts. But he added: "We fe',ently hope for the day when the other leading nations of the world will realize that their present course must inevitably lead them to disaster. "We stand ready to meet them and encourage them in any efforts they may make toward a definite reduc- tion in world armament." The speech precluded a Presiden- tial review of the United States Fleet, more than three score warships an- chored in San Francisco Bay. The Chief Executive also gave other na- tions a pointed reminder that this na- tion's warships are something more than a symbol. He described tnem as a "potent, every-ready fact in the national de- fense of the United States." An inspection of the Mare Island Navy Yard, a short pause for a Presi- dential salute at Fort Mason on San Francisco's North Beach and a ride through miles of human-lined streets comprised Mr. Roosevelt's schedule during the morning. He was hailed and cheered all along the route. The Office of Chief of Plice William J. Quinn estimated 500,000 persons saw the Chief Ex- ecutive between the time he entered the city by way of the Golden Gate Bridge and the time he left over the big San Francisco-Oakland Bridge to reach Treasure Island, the man-made exposition ground in mid-bay. Mr. Roosevelt was introduced to the 1,000 luncheon guests byuLeland Cutler, president of the Exposition. The crowd, jammed into the long, semi-circular room, shrieked, whistled and, applauded as the President stood before a battery of microphones. The President's statements about disarmament, however passed with- out a single handclap. Grabel, uest Band Director, To Speak Victor J. Grabel. the season's first guest conductor of the Summer Ses- sion and High School Clinic bands, will address the members of the King- fish Club Monday, July 18, in Room 126 of the Michigan Union, Prof. Wil- liam D. Revelli, director of the Michi- gan Band, announced yesterday. Mr. Grabel's topic will be "Re- hearsal Routines." His talk will be followed by a motion picture film of the Michigan Band's marching rou- tines, to be shown by Professor Re- velli.

Tonal Language Problems, Topic Of Pike Lecture Tonal Language Described As One With Meaning Values In Word Pitch. How to attack the intricate prob- lems of analyzing an unwritten tonal) language was explained yesterday to members of the Linguistic Institute at the regular luncheon conference in the Michigan Union by Kenneth L. Pike of the Mexican Institute for the Investigation of Lirguistics. A tonal language, as Pike defined it, is one in which every syllable has a definite pitch; in other words, the pitch of a word has a meaning value in such a language. The particular language he used as illustration was Mixteco, an Indian tongue spoken in an isolated region of the southern' Mexican state of Oaxaca, where he has spent the past three years in lin- guistic study for the purpose of trans- lating the Bible for the Mixtec In- dians. As a prerequisite to the study; Pike said, the student must have had suf- ficient ear training to enable him to. recognize tonal intervals with fair accuracy. It also is necessary to have a native informant who can be trained to make the tones clear apart from consonantal interference; that is, he must be able to hum or whistle the tune of a word after he has spok- en it. When the worker is actually in the field ready to study an unwritten language, Pike declared, the first problem is to determine whether it is tonal or not. One way is to find a sound combination, such as "la," which has two different meanings when uttered on different pitch lev- els. Another way is to find if there are persistent immoveablenpitch pat- terns in phrasal combinations, such patterns to be tested by trying to substitute one element for another in the patern. This is called using a "subsitution frame." If the language is tonal, the work- er's next problem is determining the (Continued on Page,3) Prof. Bethe Ends Series Of Lectures The last in his series of talks on the speed of nuclear actions to be given this morning by Prof. H.

Scott of the Geology depart- ment. Contrary to a previous announce- ment which was erroneous, Prof. Louis Rouse of the mathematics de- partment who is supervising the ex- cursion series said the party will' leave at 3:30 p.m. from in front of Angell Hall by private bus and em- bark for Buffalo, N.Y., via D&C Lake steamer at 5:30 p.m. Arrival in Buf- falo is scheduled to be 8 a.m. to- morrow when special buses will pick the tourists up and convey them on a scenic tour of Niagara Falls and its adjoining points of interest. Professor Scott, in addition to be- ing manager of the tour while it is in progress, will act as a lecturing guide. He will point out the actual geological and scenic points of interest corres- ponding to those he mentioned in his lecture at the Rackham Building re- cently. Choral Singing' Origins Traced By Prof. Willan Ancient Roman Bishop Is Originator In 314 A.D.; Choir Music Resulted "Although the origin of choral, singing is not known precisely, it is certain that it received its first im- petus from the school set up by Bishop Sylvester in 314 A.D. in the1 latter days of the Roman Empire," Prof. Healey Willan, eminent com- poser and authority in the field of choral singing, declared in a Univer- sity lecture on "Choral Singing in thej Renaissance" in the Rackham build- ing yesterday. "It remained, however, for Pope Gregory in the 600's A.D. to accom- plish a great revival of ecclesiastical music, which led to the development, of choir music as we know it today,"t Professor Willan, who is a guest pro- fessor in the music school this sum- mer, said.I EccIestastical Seqquences The University of Toronto com- poser went on to the ecclesiastical se-1 quences early used in the Roman; Catholic Church in England, which were the real antecedents of modern choir music. Originally used in churcht processions the sequence became so1 popular that their over-use in church services resulted inthe elimination of all but five of the most outstanding. The elimination of the sequenced form was in reality a blow to music as their mystic beauty probably made them the best of early music, Pro- fessor Willan said. Not only was choral music per-j fected from the standpoint of form in the middle Renaissance but the specimens produced at that time have never been. surpassed and probably never will be, Professor Willan said. Of the Renaissance artists Palestrina stood out head and shoulders above the rest. For a long time Palestrina remained the best Renaissance com- poser but finally lost his place when he fell into the bad graces of the Pope. Outstanding Choralists Other outstanding choralists were Lorenzo, who was called by his con- tempories a "sweet swan," a master of word painting in music, and Vit- torio, an Spanish-Italian composer. Professor Willan continued by' de- ploring the recent tendency to de- precate the work of the medieval masters and urged that a broader at- titude be taken toward their work. Town And Campus To Be Canvassed In Two-Day Drive To Raise Funds Summer Students Asked To Help Out By JOSEPH GIES The tag sales brigade invades Ann Arbor today for the annual drive to raise funds for the University Fresh Air Camp, now in its 20th season, Three hundred of Ann Arbor's un- derprivileged boys will benefit from the campaign, to be conducted both downtown and on the campus all day today and tomorrow. It doesn't cost much to send a boy to camp, but the money has to be raised somehow, and every nickel or dime contribution from students and townspeople will help. The tag day idea operates in the following manner: a strategically lo- cated spots in town and campus, small boys from the camp will be posted, armed with buckets and fistfuls of colored tags. The boys are very good salesmen, and it requires a flint- hearted individual to stroll past with- out kicking in with a coin. Anyone not wearing a tag conspicuously af- ixed to his clothing is a marked man oday, Each boy spends one month at the camp on Patterson Lake. While there he enjoys good, food, plenty of sunlight, fresh air and the whole- some atmosphere of a well-directed camp, which is under the charge df George G. Alder, of the Ann Arbor Public Schools. The present camp site is Univer- ity property, donated for the pur- pose by H. B. Earhart and M. A. Ives in 1923, after the pripciple of a fresh air camp had been successfully estab- lished., But the camp needs Working cap- ital, and it's up to the students'of the Summer Session, as well as the people of Ann Arbor, to help out, It doesn't cost much-and it means a lot to the boys. Japs Abandon Plans To Stage 1940_Olympics/ Causes Of Dissension Die As Prospect Of Finland As New Site Is Visioned' NEW YORK, July 14-4P)-The sudden collapse of Japan's plans to stage- the 1940 Olympis automatically removes current causes of dissension, notably in the United States, and likewise paves the way for Finland, if it desires, to take over conduct of the next internaional games in an at- mosphere of "Spartan simplicity." Confirmation of belief that Helsing- fors, capital of Finland; would have first call as alternative site, came from Count Henri De Baillet Latour of Bel- gium, president of the International Olympic Committee, less than 24 hours after Tokyo's decision to with- draw. Count Baillet Latour, in England, told the Associated Press: "I have no doubt Finland will accept. The Olym- pies might be on a smaller scale but they certainly will be held." The I.O.C. executive committee, of which Avery Brundage of Chicago is tne American member, probably will be called together to switch 1940 plans, as soon as formal notice of Tokyo's withdrawal is received. Lon- don is understood to be second choice to Helsingfors, for the summer games. Oslo, Norway, probably will bid for the winter Olympics, which had been awarded to Sapporo, Japan. Canada also may be a bidder.

I W aste Problem Explains That Education Is Still In Pioneering Stage; Is Necessarily Wasteful "Pioneering in education, as in any other field, is always a wasteful pro- cess," Dr. Charles M. Elliott of Michi-; gan State Normal College said yester- day in his lecture on "Salvaging Edu- cational Waste," given in the Univer- sity High School Auditorium, Dr. Elliott explained that educa- tion is still really in a pioneering stage, and thus it is necessarily waste- ful. He outlined a brief history of edu- cation in this country to further il- lustrate his point. Under the first known methods, children gathered at the feet of some learned old lady and paid her a penny or so for each day's lesson, Dr. Elliott said. These schools were known as "dame schools," and were later re- placed by the Lancastrian, or moni- tor system, which has developed into France Will Keep Democracy Alive In Europe, Koella Says, France, as the power that has kept the Spanish and Czechoslovakian re-, publics from falling before the on- slaught of totalitarian powers, was seen last night by Mr. Charles E. Koella of the romance languages de-, partment as the nation which will keep the fire of democracy burning in Europe. Speaking before more than 60 members and guests of the French Club at its special celebration of the French National Holiday marking the fall of the Bastille to a mob, July 14, 1789, Mr. Koella emphasized that had it not been for the firm stand which France took against the totalitarian powers in Spain and Czechoslovakia in the face of Bri- tain's turpitude, both countries would long since have fallen before the armed might-of dictator and would- meddles in the fortunes of Europe. attempting to maintain a precarious balance of power, to protect he own, selfish interests. France, however, Mr. Koella sees as a bulwark of democracy, furthering through her nationalistic philosophy of life, its natural progress and thus the progress of civiliation. / The French, he emphasized, al- though not a biologically pure race are psychologically pure. Their na- tional unity was reached at the time' of Joan of Arc in the late 15th cen- tury while Germany had to wait for her Bismarck and Italy for her Gari- baldi. Through the long years of their national unity the French have developed within themselves a defin- itely French train of thpught and mode of living, with their "feet plant- ed firmly in their native soil." Their By BEN M. MARINO A heated argument on whether a "worthy goal and an adequate mo- tivation enlisting all one's devotion" or the "supernatural concept of God and mystical relations" were the es- sentials of religious behavior was the highlight of the forum on prac- tical religion yesterday in Room 318 of the Michigan Union, according to Edward W. Blakeman, chairman of the 'forum. Dr. David M. Trout, professor of psychology at Central Teachers Col- lege, presented the proposition that the first two elements were universal to all religions and that they did not, in his mind, refute or impede an aspiration to a high metaphysical religious definition. The Rev. W. P. Lemon of the First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, a member of the panel, claimed on the other hand that "behavior with a social goal as its object" is not truly religious behavior for it is too con- fining a definition of the matter. He asserted that this definition of the religious behavior concept is merely saying religion is just sociology.
