Pike at the regular Linguistic In- stitute luncleon conference at 12:10 p.m. today at the Michigan Union. His topic is "Linguistic Aspects of Bible Translation." The conference is open to all interested persons. j With Mexican Institute A graduate of the Gordon School of Theology, Mr. Pike for the past four -years has been associated with the Mexican Institute for the In- vestigation of Linguistics, a body affiliated with the University of Mexico. During that time, with the formance that has no equal in Michi- gan's musical activities. Last year the concert attracted over 9,000 students and townspeople. This year, according toProf. William D. Revelli, even a greater number is expected to fill the old South Stands of Ferry Field.for the program. Pro- fessor Revelli, who directs the Sum- mer Session Band, makes no bones about admitting that it is "the finest Summer Session organization we have ever had." While Professor Revelli will be director of the concert, the guest conductor who willoccupy the spot- light is Ralph E. Rush, of Celeveland Heights, 0., who will be assisted by Dale Harris of Pontiac and Cleo Fox of Kalamazoo, also guest conductors. Admit Publie Free The general public, who will be admitted free of charge to the con- cert, is requested to come sufficiently early as to be seated on time, so that interruptions can be avoided, Profes- sor Revelli said. Among the interesting numbers on the program are Ferdi Grofe's "Mar- di Gras," from the Mississippi Suite; "Finlandia," by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius; "King Sport," a cornet solo by its composer, Albin Johnson; a medley of selections from "Good News," a Broadway musical of a few years ago; and the familiar "Merry Widow Waltz," as a march instead of in three-four time. Grofe's Composition Grofe's composition, the last move- ment of the suite, is gay and brilliant, portraying the colorful festival itself. "Finlandia" is one of Sibelius' most characteristic works, rugged and pow- erful. Albin Johnson, who composed and who will play "King Sport," was formerly cornet soloist with the Uni- ted States Army Band, now a student on campus. The medley from "Good News" was chosen by Ralph Rush, and will be played by the Summer Session Band. Franz Lehar's lilting waltz tune, the Merry Widow, has been paraphrased by Harry Alford, and listeners agree that he has cre- ated a fine concert march. Part of the program will be played by the Clinic Band, part by the regu- lar Summer Session Band, and the last part by the full 230 pieces to- gether, reaching a climax with the playing of the "Stars and Stripes Forever," by John Philip Sousa, one of America's best known marches by her greatest march composer.

Senators Hit Lending Bill Extravagance Republicans Call Measure Wasteful And Diemocrats Also Act To Halt Bill Prevailing Wage 'Rider IsOpposed WASHINGTON, July 26. -(P)- The first night session of the Senate's adjournment drive produced tonight a series of Republican speeches de- ,nouncing the Adiministration's $2,- 490,000,000 lending program as waste and extravagance. One after another, Senators Taft (Ohio), Townsend (Del.), Barbour (N.J.), Davis (Pa.), and Danaher (Conn.) arose to belabor the measure, before-for most of the time-an audience of four to eight Senators. Their addresses were part of a bi- partisan attack which buffeted the measure throughout the day from one end of the Capitol to the other. In the House a complication of a new sort arose. Taking cognizance of a plan in the Senate to attach to the bill a rider ordering the payment of "prevailing wages" to WPA work- ers, four Democratic members of the Banking Committee devised strategy to beat such a move. Their plan, one of them said, would be to vote with the Republicans and keep the bill tied up in the Commit- tee until the Senate has acted. If the prevailing wage were attached, he added, the combined votes would keep the lending bill tied up in the Com- mittee indefinitely. Students Visit.

Japanese Emnbarg In- at ics pith The planet Mars is making its nearest approach to the earth since 1924 today and will not be back as close again until August, 1956. At 2:30 a.m. it was 36,030,000 miles away. Two weeksago it was 37,200,000 miles distant, and by Aug. 5 it will have returned to a distance of 36,- 500,000 miles. By Sept. 1 it will be 42,800,000 miles away. These varying distances are due to the shapes of the orbits of the earth and Mars around the sun. To persons in this vicinity Mars will appear in the southeast sky short- ly after sunset and will be seen as a brilliant ruddy object from 11 p m. to 1:30 a.m. No extended observa- tions are being carried out by astron- omers here because the planet is ap- pearing so low toward the horizon. Dr. Dean B. McLaughlin of the as- tronomy department, however, has been regularly, sketching and exam- ining Mars in the early morning hours to keep track of any unusual appearances, such as clouds. Astronomers of the famed Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz., have journeyed to the University's station at Bloemfontein, South Africa, where the planet will appear nearly. over- head. Visitors at the Observatory open house tomorrow night will be able to' get a complete account of what is now known about the fascinating planet, but probably won't be able to look at it through the telescope. This is because the low altitude causes at- mospheric disturbances in the image and also because the image itself is too small to be of much significance to the layman. History Of Persian Rock-Writings Told Illustrating his discussion with slides showing the discovered in- scriptions, Prof. Roland G. Kent of the Department of Comparative Phil- ology of the University of Pennsyl- vania last night told a Linguistic In- stitute audience of the laborious and painstaking steps by which scholars since 1800 have gradually deciphered the rock-writings in the ancient Per- sian language. Interpretation began, said Dr. Kent, with Grotefend's first crude but dar- ing attempts in 1802. Step by step meaning was attached to another of the strange horseshoe-nail shaped characters, until today all of the known inscriptions are pretty accur- ately deciphered. The most recent achievement, he related, has been the translation last year of the orig- inal inscriptions on the tomb of Dari- us, State Department Action Is Surprise; Senate Still Considering Resolution Abrogation To Be Effective,_Jan., 1940 WASHINGTON, July 26 -(IP)- The United States served notice to- night it was terminating its 1911 Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with Japan, opening the way toward an embargo on the shipment of raw materials to that country. Secretary Hull handed Japanese Ambassador Kensuke Horinouchi a note informing him of the step. The Government's action came like a lightning from a blue sky, since the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee discussing a resolution call- ing for the denunciation of the treaty postponed discussion on it today until later in the week. Confers With Roosevelt Earlier today Secretary Hull con- ferred with President Roosevelt, fol- lowing talks with his Far Eastern advisers. The. President approved, perhaps ordered, the action. Six months must pass from today .before the abrogation can go into effect. They will be up Jan. 26, 1940, at which time Congress will be in ses- sion and can discuss an embargo on raw material shipments to Japan. The State Department regarded the 1911 treaty as a legal obstacle in the way of a resolution by Senator Pitt- man (Dem.-Nev.) calling for the em- bargo. Article 5, paragraph three, of the pact, said: "Nor shall any pro- hibition be enforced by either coun- try on the importation or exportation of any article from or 'to the terri- tories, of the other which shall not equally extend to the like article im- ported from or exported to any other country."

Groups To Visit ubiic Saturday Boys' Trades School is being planned for Study Of Mixteco Constant objective study of Mix- teco, an unwritten and hitherto un- studied language, has enabled Mr. Pike to prepare a primer of the language for use by the Mexican government in its program of pri- mary education among the Indians. His ultimate purpose, however, is to prepare a translation of the Bible into Mixteco. Some of the prob- lems faced in this task he will ex- plain in today's discussion. Music Clinic Holds Afterrioon Concert A special concert by the various clinic ensemble groups of the High School Music Clinic, now in session under the auspices of the music school, will be given at 4:30 p.m. to- day in Hill Auditorium.

KELSEY Japan wouldn't accept peace now if it were handed to her on a silver, platter, Dr. William W. Lockwood, Jr., secretary of the research staff cf the American Council of the Institure of Pacific Relations and visiting member of the faculty of the Insti- tute of Far Eastern Studies, as--, ted in a lecture yesterday on "Th.1 Real Economic Problem in Japan." This is true, Dr. Lockwood claimed, because of the distortion of the en- tire Japanese economic structure to provide for the needs of a war-ime German Universities Suffer By The Loss Of Trained Professors, The School, also known as the Ford Republiceaccommodates 150 boys who are learning some useful trade.

Miss Rosalind G. May is in charge of the trip. Last Lockwood TaK IsToday Japan In North China Is Subject Of Lecture Last of a series of three lectures on the present situation in China will be presented at 4 p.m. today in the Amphitheatre of the Rackham School by Dr. William W. Lockwood, Jr., of the research staff of the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Relations and visting member of the condition in that country. The prb- ems of reconstruction and readjust- i ment that peace would necessitate meeting would be too much for Japan at the present time, he said. At the same time, he claimed, 'the war in China is a terrific strain on the Japanese economic system. She is paying for the war in many ways, he pointed out, some being deficit spend- ing, rising taxes, restrictions in vari- ous ways on consumption and longer hours and lower real wages for her workers; at the same time Iv'r mili- tary expenditures are heavy, pier con- sumption is increasing faster than her production, which has ceased to increase, and her export trade is' slumping, This export trade, Dr. Lockwood told, is perhaps the most important item to Japan economically. 'Not hav- ing sufficient naturalresources of her own, he said, she must depend on foreign nations for her raw ma- terials and must depend on her ex- ports to bring in enough to baleance the expenditures for these materials. From 1928 to 1936, while the wvoild in general was experiencing a great financial depression, Japan was hav- ing her greatest business boom, Dr. Lockwood stated. At the expense cf rival industrial nations, she was flooding foreign markets with cheap manufactured goods, produced at low costs because of an enormous supply of cheap labor, he said. The profits from this trade went into the Man,- churian campaign, the armaments in- dustry and big business, leading to an expansion of war industries and a corresponding decrease in peace-time industries, Dr. Lockwood pointed out. Japan's greatest problem, Dr. Lock- wood insisted, is her population, which, after three centuries of com- parative stabliity, has doubled in the last half century. On the Japanese islands, he asserted, there are now living about 70 million people. Biberich Does Magic ." .r zT . To Put-In-Bay On Lake Erie NextWednesday Reliving early American days in he surroundings of Greenfield Vil- age near Dearborn, more than a score of students visited the Village and the Edison Institute as the ob- ect of the Ninth Summer Session Ex- cursion yesterday. The group, under the leadership of, Prof. Carl J. Coe, director of ex- cursions, left from in front of Angell Hall in busses at 1 p.m., returning n time for their dinners. Greenfield Village, besides its colon- al buildings, was found to contain whole museums of antique furniture pieces, china, silver, and bric-a-brac. The Edison Institute, where Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, owner of the Village, had many a long talk luring Edison's last years, includes the great inventor's original labora- tories at Menlo Park, moved in their entireties to Dearborn. Even Edi- son's personal library is included in the collection. The next excursion, last of the series, will be to Put-In-Bay in Lake Erie, and will be held Wednesday, Aug. 2. t t r Embargo Japan. Consequently, if the United States wanted to embargo shipments to Japan, she would have to do so with regard to all other nations as well as long as the treaty remained in force. Senator Vandenberg (Rep.-Mich.) introduced a resolution some days ago calling for the abrogation of the 1911 treaty with a view to possible nego- tiation of a new one affording better protection to American rights in China. The abrogation caught the Capital by surprise. At 9:30 p.m. the State Department telephoned to newspaper correspondents and asked them to come to the Department for a news release. At 10 o'clock an official hand- ed them the text of the release. Professor Gratia, Expert, Gives Feline Influence In Androcles' Threatens To Be Show-Stealing Another Virus Lecture Todk Belgium Talk Not only has the prestige and value1 of the German universities been low- ered by replacing intelligent, well-1 trained professors by men who have been selected on a basis of political reliability .and physical stamina, but. the economic importance has been1 decreased by reducing the enro.1- ment, Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department, told an audience of more than 200 in his talk on "Education Under Fascism" last night at the Union. Professor Pollock, author of the recently published book, "The Gov- ernment of Greater Germany," paint- ed a picture of higher institutions of learning B. H. (Before Hitler) which served as an inspiration and leader to men of learning all over the world, compared to the present educational system entirely devoid of academic freedom. In Germany, the professor is a state official Professor Pollock explained, QVA - a ,.i amnv -. rnm nffi i the racially and politically approved student who is subjected to a school term of 12 years cut down from the 13-year period to facilitate the plac- ing of the young men in the army. A two-year labor service preceededj by membership in the Hitler Youth by girls and boys between the ages of 10 and 18 aids further in the com- plete alienation of the child from. the influence of the family and with the indoctrination of Nazi ideals,{ Professor Pollock pointed out. No one can accuse the Germans of taking halfway measures, he as-. serted, to educate their people to the Nazi way of thinking. "Their edu- cational system surpasses anything. I've ever seen" he said, "for organiza- tional efficiency complete coordina- tion, racialization, unification and simplification with emphasis on pre- I history, race and sports." In America emphasis is laid on the power of the individual in contrast to the nlei ytof the German. he said. JUNE CAMPBELL McKEE The affections of animal-loving An-I drocles lack no objects in the current run of Shaw's sprightly play; fromx kitten to lion they entrancingly run.S The tiny titian "Tommikins" is part of a family of three, with brothert and sister black and grey. Born int West Virginia four weeks ago, hist mother is a real Persian, and father,1 well, traveling man of dubious heri- tage.- Especially susceptible to strok- ing, and impervious to any degree of emoting ensuing, Tommikins snoozes and snuggles on Andocles, from shoulder to back, during his scene. After performing he peacefully sleepsl in a bridal-veiled box in the costumeI room. However, most basking in the at-+ tentions of Ray 'Androcles' Pedersonl is Tommy, the "lioney-pioney." He proves himself a most versatile lion, well fulfilling all Shaw demands of him. And James Moll said lion will tell you that these demands are nlenty. Riotous is that rapturous waltz; Lion Moll performs, embracing An- drocles, and his prologue thorn-in- paw movement is something of stellar sterlingity. The dance work is well directed by Fany Aaronson, of Ben- nington fame and Detroit note. In the dancing's early execution, par- ticularly problemsome was the slow- ing down for the relentless, ponder- ing precision required. The dance proves so terrific that after each per- formance the lion-skin has to under- go sundry stitching on paws and body, to enable its carrying on. Officially, the skin is rated "Lion number three" in the stock store of the 'New York costumers. It blinks and rolls its eyes, and requires a deal of aid to rope, snap and hook in its human element, who by that time is well loaded with water for the up- coming doings of dustiness. Along with the horribe hotness within, Moll finds that the skin weighs around 12 pounds, and his own weight decreases about as much. Plant and insect viruses will be the subject of a popular lecture at 5 p.m. today in the Lecture Hall of the Rackham Building by Prof. Andre Gratia, visiting lecturer from the Laboratorie de Bacteriologie, Uni- versity of Liege, Belgium. The lecture will be the third in a series presented here by Professor Gratia on the subject of viruses. Pro- fessor Gratia has been especially active in investigating methods of classification and investigation of viruses and bacteriophage by use of the new ultracentrifuge. Concluding lecture of the series will deal with the subject of ultracentri- fugation, and will be given at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Room 1528 East Medical Building.
