Illustrating Dr. Purdom's points with "real life" situations were Prof. C. W. Beemer of St. Johns College and Stanley Waltz, manager of the Union.

Pillsbury, chairman' of the department of psychology, will talk on "Inheritance" at 5 p.m. today' in the Rackham Lecture Hall. The lecture will be devoted to a general discussion of the problem of inheritance and genetics, and will be featured by the presentation of data or a study of the relationship of the interests and abilities of fathers and sons in the University. This study, which has been carried on for four years with the aid of NYA and other contributions, has been conducted by examining the records of fathers and mothers who have attended the University with those of their sons and daughters who have also studied here. Professor Pillsbury has served on the cultysince-91.0. and is a mem- ber of several learned societies. A graduate of the University of Nebras- ka, he received his doctor's degree from Cornell University and has served as president of the American Psychological Association.' Among books he has written are "The Psychology of Reasoning," "The Psychology of Nationality and Inter- nationalism," "Fundamentals of Psy- chology," and "Education as the Psy- chologist Sees It." nelson To Lecture At Luncheon Today Featuring Prof. Norman E. Nelson of the English department as speak- er, the regular weekly luncheon of the Graduate Conference on Renais- saice Studies will take place at 12:15 p.m. today at the Union. In an informal talk, Professor Nel- son will discuss the "anti-Aristoteli- anism" of Peter Ramus, a 16th cen- tury logicap who anticipated to some extent the aesthetic theories of the 18th and 19th centuries. Ramus is also credited with an advanced view as to the conduct of education.. performed a similar role as a business executive. "The fellow who is known gets the job," even over the rival with a su- perior record and training. Dr. Pur- dom declared. Employers hire the applicant whose character, habits and social attitude can be vouched for by people whose opinions carry weight.. "Poor salesmanship" is the average person's stumbling block in impress- ing the right people and landing the good jobs, he emphasized. Those who can "sell themselves" go farthest in this world, he insisted. Apple-polishing? "If you can get by with it, it's perfectly all right," Dr. Purdom assured. "But you've got to be artistic about it," he warned. The importance of knowing the prominent men in your field of spe- cialization, university, and home community was stressed by Professor Beemer in his sample interviews. The man who got the job, as in real life, was the man who could chat with the employer about mutual acquain- tances and leaders in the field. Outside activities, personality, and the ability to meet people were stressed by Mr. Waltz in his inter- views. These factors, he indicated, counted far more than scholarship in the business world. ' However scholarship is not to be slighted, Dr. Purdom cautioned. "The 'handyman,"' he warned, "doesn't go far in this world. People question his scholarship." ]linguists Plan Week's Series Of Addresses Prof. Edgerton Of Yale: To Speak At 7:30 P.M. Today In Amphitheatre Reinvigorated after the- strenuous weekend and occasioned by the sum- mer meeting of the Linguistic Society of America, members of the Linguistic Institute will gather tonight for the first event of this week's program. Prof. Franklin Edgerton of Yale University, remaining temporarily in1 Ann Arbor after the society meeting, will speak in the Rackham amphi- theatre at 7:30 p.m. on the topic, "Hiatus-bridging Consonants in In- dic." Dr. Edgerton, who is Salisbury pro- fessor of Sanskrit and comparative' philology at Yale, is not new to Ann Arbor, as he was a member of the Institute faculty two years ago. In his lecture tonight he will discuss the presence in the Indic languages of consonants that developed solely as a means of preventing a gap between a final vowel of one word and an in- itial vowel of another. Remaining on the week's program are the luncheon discussion Thursday noon at the Michigan Union, when Prof. E. Adelaide Hahn of Hunter College will discuss "Hirt's' Theories on Indo-European Syntax," and the lecture Friday evening, which is the fifth and concluding presentation in the series of discussions by Prof. Leonard Bloomfield on the subject of the Algonkian Indian languages.

For 1939 Grid Season 'Jeep' Has Suffered Since His Childhood By STAN M. SWINTON The gallant fight of a youth whose heart is as big as the stadium in which he loved to play proved futile today as doctors informed Howard "Jeep" Mehaffey, Michigan's veteran fullback, that a bad leg would prevent him from competing next fall. The popular 24-year-old Pittsburgh youth has suffered from osteomyeli- tis-inflammation' of the bone mar- row-since childhood. It is believed an injury in the Yale game last fall was responsible for the recurrence of the trouble. Twice during the winter operations were attempted in an effort to improve his condition. Mehaffey game Despite the fact that he spent months on crutches, Mehaffey was game. "I'm going to be in there fighting," he'd smile. But the exami- nation by Drs. Carl E. Badgley and George Hammond showed that fight- ing couldn't come off this fall, it was announced yesterday, "If everything comes off all right I'll be wearing my catcher's mask when the baseball season rolls around," Mehaffey said last night. A Kiski Prep product, "The Jeep" -a nickname bestowed by team- mates in jest--was outstanding as a freshman. Last fall, a sophomore, he plunged from the 18 yard line to the 3 yard line and put Michigan into, scoring position against Ohio State. In the Chicago game he went over for a touchdown. Injury An Old One The condition from which he is suffering is not new to him As school-boy he was operated upon for it. Coach Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler's grid plans suffered a severe upset with the loss of Mehaffey. Ann Arborite Bob Westfall, a stocky, savage line- plunger, will probably bear the brunt of the full-back duties despite the fact he will be making his Big Ten debut. Veteran Ed Christie and Ralph Zimmerman will also probably see action. Ernst Krenek Conducts Own Musical Score More than 2,500 persons attended the concert of the Summer Session Symphony Orchestra last night in Hill Auditorium. The 92 piece orches- tra was conducted by Thor Johnson. The program presented Haydn's Symphony No. 22 in E Flat Major, known as "The2Philosopher." This performance is thought to have been the first in America of this sym- phony. The second number was Vincent d'Indy's "Symphony for Orchestra and Piano on a French Mountain Air." Mary Fishburne played the solo piano part. Ernst Krenek, a world renowned composer-conductor and guest pro- fessor of composition in the Uni- versity's School of Music, conducted his own "Symphonic Piece for String Orchestra, Op. 86." This was the first presentation of the composition. Final number on the program were the "Polovtsian Dances" from "Prince Igor" by Alexander Borodin, includ- ing '"Dance of the Slave Maidens," "Dance of the Wild Men," "Dance of the Archers" and the "Finale." Of special interest was the appear- ance of Mr. Krenek. Krenek, of Czech descent, born in Vienna, is a leader among the post-war German com- posers. The "twelve tone technique," invented by Arnold Schoenberg 16 years ago, is applied freely in the Symphonic Piece. It was written last spring, completed in June at Niagara Falls. It is dedicated to the Kam- merorchester of Basle, Switzerland, and to its founder and leader, Paul Lacher, on whose request the work was composed. Mr. Krenek has already written seven operas, four symphonies, and over 70 chamber works, songs and other nine T-Tis jzz noera "Tnnnv Rice Drama To Initiate RunTonight 'Judgment Day' Is Based On Burning Of German Reichstag By Nazis Second To Last Play Is Produced Elmer Rice's protest play, "Judg- ment Day," will open at 8:30 p.m. tonight in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. An attempt on the life of the dicta- tor sof a small Balkan nation forms the motivation of the story, with the entire scene being laid in a court room where the culprits are being tried. The story has basis in fact, for the burning of the German Reich- stag building by the Nazis and the subsequent trial of communists charged with the destruction was taken as model.

Club Will See ilm mOn Arnold' Prof. Maurer Will Present Movie At Union Today The betrayal of Benedict Arnold is the subject of a film sequence to be shown by Prof. Wesley H. Maurer for the weekly meeting of the Men's Education Club, to be held at 7:15 p.m. tonight at the Union. The film, which is in sound, is taken from original manuscripts on deposit in the Clements' Library. It is a result of the work of Professor Maurer, Mr. Eugene 'Powers of the University Microfilms, and Dr. Ran- dolph G. Adams, Director of the Clements Library, who has made a special study of the Revolutionary War Period. Professor Maurer will show a sec- ond film, in sound and color, on pre- Columbian art in Mexico. It is the work of Harry Wallace. The showing of the two films will require about 45 minutes. Ex-Wolverine John Gee S old To Pittsburgh Six-foot nine-inch John Gee, Mich- igan six-letter man two years ago whose fireball set the Big Ten on its heels, has blazed his way along base- ball's trail to the Pittsburg Pirates. Pirate president Bill Benswanger expects big things from Gee, cur- rently known as "the biggest man in baseball." He parted with cash to the tune of five figures to acquire the giant ex-Wolverine. Gee's purchase by the Pirates cli- maxes a meteoric rise from the ranks of college baseball in 1937. Last year he exhibited a smoking fast ball but foggy control to win 17 games and drop 11 for the Syracuse club of the International League. This year he has added control to his arsenal to become the sensation of the minor circuit. His record? sixteen wins, four losses and 90 }strike-outs. While at Michigan, Gee doubled in baseball and basketball. His height in the later made him the most feared center on the hardwood. Dr. Sakani shi Speaks Today On Buddhism Honen Shonin Is Subject Of Second In Series On -apanes -Religion. Second of a series of three lecturesx on Japan's religious, leaders will be given at 4 p.m. today in the Rack- ham School Amphitheatre by Dr. Shio Sakanishi of the Department of Ori- entalia in the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. The lecture series is sponsored by the Institute of Far Eastern Studies and all interested are invited to at- tend. The third lecture will be given tomorrow. , Today, Dr. Sakanishi will tell of Honen Shonin, a religious leader of the twelfth century, who interpreted Buddhism to the masses. She will trace his life and point out his ac- complishments in striving toward making the unintelligible religion un- derstandable to the common people. Yesterday Dr. Sakanishi told of Kobl Daishi and the founding of the Japanese national religion. Tomor- row she will speak on Dogen and the spiritual life through Zen. Dr. Sakanishi is a graduate of the University, taking her doctor's degree here in 1929. Sice that time ,she has come to be in charge of the Jap- anese Collection of the Library of Congress' Division of Orientalia. She has written for various publications and is the author of three of what will finally be a six volume work on modern Japan. Executive Terms Defeat Blow To Unemployed, IndustryAndTaxpayers Fear Housing Bill As Good As Dead WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-(P)-In a swift, unexpected debacle, the Roosevelt Lending Bill was killed in the House today; whereupon the President struck back with , declara- tion that the action was a blow to industry, the unemployed and the taxpayers. With a jubilant coalition of Repub licans and Democrats in command, the Chamber refused, by a vote of 193 to 166, to take the $1,950,000,000 measure up for debate. This action followed Senate passage yesterday of a much-reduced, $1,615000,000 ver- sion of the same program. After witnessing the dramatic dis- play of insurgency t~aay, Rep. Ray- burn of Texas, the Administration leader, indicated that the other majorn money bill on the dinsraon program-the $800,000,Q00 Housing n Bill-was as good as dead.n Holds Press Conference While battle-weary legislators pre- pared to adjourn Congress by Satur- day night, President Robsevelt re- ceived reporters at his press confer- ence. In a calon tone, he said that while he was not criticizing the legis- lators for something they had a per- fect right to do, thosewho would be adversely affected had a right to know where the responsibility lay and the names of those who voted against House consideration of the measure. A large number of industries would not-have-their production increased as planned, he said, and a large num- ber of relief clients who would have got jobs would have to remain on re- lief. This, he said, would cost the taxpayers a good many hundred mil- lions of dollars. Asks For Loans Mr. Roosevelt had asked $3,060,- 000,000 for loans which he said would aid industry and employment. Ad- ministration men said the projects would be self-liquidating and would not increase the National debt. Critics disputed this and called the plan dangerous to the Federal finances, and an undesirable grant of tremen- dous power to the Executive. The House action today came after Rayburn had made an appeal to his Democratic colleagues, saying that when the President recommended a program "it is asking little" of the House to consider it. Last Excursion . Leaves Today Put-In-Bay Is Destination Of Summer Students A visit to the historic island of Put-In-Bay, nestling in the blue wa- ters of Lake Erie, will begin at 7:15 a.m. today to climax the 10 Summer Session Excu-ions Famed for its grape arbors, its cool, crystal-studded caves and its tower- ing monument, Put-In-Bay is one of the resort attractions of the lower lake region. Located at the western end of the lake about 60 miles southeast of De- troit, the island-is of interest to geolo- gists as well as tourists for its rugged limestone shoreline and evidences of glaciation. The excursion, led by Prof. Irving D. Scott of the geology department, leaves Ann Arbor by bus at 7:15 a.m. today. Arriving in Detroit, the ex- cursionists will board the Steamer Put-In-Bay for a four-hour cruise over Lake Erie to the Island. After a four hour jaunt about the Island, the group will embark for Detroit arriving about 8 p.m. and returning by bus to Ann Arbor by 9:30 p.m. The excursion is the last of the Summer Session. 'Third Term Now Is ,Jokirng Matter Lending Measure Killed By House; Roosevelt Rep lies I I_ C7 "The greatest aids to progress to- day are the movies and radio," de- clared Dr. Frederick D. McClusky, Director of the Scarborough School in a lecture on-"Visual and.Auditory Aids in Teaching of Languages" at the Deutches Haus last night. The history of civilization is the history of the struggle to control lan- guage. Originally language de- veloped as an urge to pass on infor- mati6n. Later as people became aware of the power of language it became an important factor in world, development. Dr. McClusky pointed out that the world is making rapid progress in the use of science but it is not doing much to help people to get along better. He remarked that he is an optimist and believesthatthere is an upward swing in world progress in spite of many obstacles, i.e., the handicap of too many different languages, and the development of special languages within languages as the technical jargon used by lawyers or doctors or school teachers. Retrenchment SiftedTonight Democracy And Education Lectures Continued Arthur Elder, national vice-presi- dent ,of the American Federation of Teachers and executive secretary of the Michigan Federation of Teachers, will speak on "Retrenchment and Its Effects Upon American Education" at 8 p.m. today in the north lounge of the Union.

SCHORR NEW YORK, July 30.-After two weeks at the New York World's Fair ("The Fair to end all Fairs"), Marcia Connell, '39, Michigan's contribution to Brains and Beauty, is convinced that the Fair here is the greatest ever and holds special interest for Michi- gan and the Midwest. Miss Connell was chosen with nine other girls from the Big, Ten schools as "Typical. College Women" to serve, as hostesses at the Elgin Watch Ob- servatory on the Fair grounds. She expects to remain here until Sept. 1. Michigan's attractive representa- tive tells how she was nearly taken off her feet by the Fair. She was particularly impressed by and proud of the Transportation Zone, she said, which was constructed by the large automobile companies from the De- troit area. "It speaks very well for the. people of the State of Michigan," she said.
