The Business Man... T HE SHARP CLEAVAGE between business men and theoretical eco- nomists in regard to the President's proposed $3,86'0,000,000 lending program appears a more damning indictment of the scheme than any epithets hurled by the former. Bankers, manufacturers and presidents of local boards of commerce universally denounce the latest edition of "pump-priming" as a "vote buyer," a "shot in the arm" whose only effect will be to hasten national bankruptcy. Economists, pn the other hand, chorus ap- proval. It is, they insist, sound policy-the "only road left open to recovery." The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in be- tween. By and large the business man's chronic fear of government investment is unfounded. There is, after all, nothing really alarming in an "un- balanced budget." In the first place, if the Federal budget were drawn up after the ortho- dox business fashion, capital expenditures would be balanced by assets and no paper deficit would rear its ugly head. Equally mistaken is the notion that a govern- ment can spend its way to bankruptcy. After all a government is not a business enterprise in competition with others. In the last analysis it is the national economy itself and can scarcely consume more than it produces, barring disin- vestment. Fears that government investment may sound the death knell of private enterprise likewise vanish when exposed to light. Confined to low cost housing, sewers bridges and other fields phunned by private investors, the government only steps in where the business man fears to tread. And the secondary "wave" of purchasing power which follows federal capital expenditure does far more to bolster private enterprise than to weaken it. The economists are generally as correct in their praises of "pump-priming" theory as the business leaders are wrong in their scorn. Con- tinued doses of investment are indeed necessary to bolster employment in the heavy industries and maintainpurchasing power in the economy as a whole. It makes little difference whether the investment funds come from public or pri- vate sources, as long as the amount is sufficient to prod the nation's productive forces into full utilization of their tremendous capacity. And America's business men are not, at pres- ant, feeding enough fuel to this economic ma- chine to tap its potential output. How to increase the "prosperity to invest" in order to transforni the stagnant pools of private savings into abundant streams of national in- come becomes, then, the key riddle for economists to solve. And they are correct in asuming that government investment performs this task by spuring consumption and employment only when they admit the necessity of wooing business confidence as a prelude to the spending pro- gram. For despite the phenomena of increased de- mand for his products immediately flowing from the newly-primed pump, the business man will balk at expanding his plant and payroll with what he believes to be the horrible spectres of huge federal deficit, heavy taxes and "national bankruptcy" in the offing. Whether his fears are justified or not is quite beside the point. As long as they exist, they impose an obstacle to investment and as such doom any spending spree to failure. ,TS..rn. « -L&t.. tin .. $ n.t i~~ .. . t Solar Movies Dr. Heber Curtis Demonstrates University's Im- portant Films of Activity on the Sun's Surface. Films of the sun that are the unique contri- bution of the University to the science of astron- omy and which have won world-wide attention for their importance in opening new fields of, astronomical information were shown and ex- plained yesterday by Prof. Heber D. Curtis, director of the University observatories, in the second Summer Session lecture. The pictures were taken at the University's McMath-Hulbert Observatory at Lake Angelus, about one and one-half miles north of Pontiac. The observatory and equipment were construct- ed by Dr. McMath and Dr. Hulbert. Motion pic- tures of moving celestial bodies were taken there first, and the filming of the sun was started in 1936. The films were taken in the 50-foot Lake Angelus solar tower, where a large telescope re- flects the sun's rays, and they are spread out in to a spectrum. The actual filming is then done In one kind of light from the spectrum, generally calcium or hydrogen rays, Dr. Curtis explained. The complicated and delicate mechanisms for bringing the rays to the camera lens and for taking the exposures were developed chiefly by Dr. McMath. An average of two exposures a minute was taken in the films of the activities on the sun's surface, Dr. Curtis said. When these are run off at normal projector speed of 16 exposures a second, the speed of the activities is com- pressed by a factor of about 500 in the demon- stration of the results. Most of the films were of the vast solar sur- face "streamers" or prominences. These great billowy eruptions, 200,000 miles wide and about 20,000 miles above the surface of the sun, demon- strate the intense energy given off by that body, Dr. Curtis pointed out. About five new types of prominence have been discovered through the photography process, classified by such fac- tors as form and position. Dr. Curtis pointed out that except for the violent eruptive type of prominence, in 95 per cent of the cases the motions, which are at a speed of from 30 to 400 miles a second, are down- ward. It is believed, he said, that the matter goes off the sun's surface in invisible form, then be- comes luminous and is attracted downward again by solar attraction. Dr. Curtis also said that it is believed the prominences consist of actual matter, thinner than air.Previous theories were that they were displayed by atomic dis- turbances. Concluding with a discussion of the ultimate value of the photographic studies of the sun, Dr. Curtis pointed out that the filming has greatly increased knowledge of the stars. Infinite as is the universe and distant the millions of stars, he said, knowledge of the sun, which is just an ordinary star, enables astronomers to know what processes are going on throughout the entire universe. Graduate School Organized as a subdivision of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts in 1892, the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies became a separate school of the University in 1912. Enrollment has now reached 4,048 students. Members of the faculty are drawn from other schools and colleges. Degrees which may be received from the Grad- uate School are master of arts, master of science, doctor of philosophy, doctor of science and doc- tor of public health. Advanced professional de- grees may also be obtained. In addition to its regular curricula, the Gradu-. ate School maintains the Institute for Human Adjustment (Speech clinic), Institute of Public and Social Administration, located in Ann Arbor and Detroit, and the Center for Graduate Study in Detroit. The College of Literature, Science and the Arts was opened 98 years ago in 1841. From a small group of students it has grown to an enrollment of 7,666. At present 305 faculty members teach courses in the 27 different departments of in- struction, including archaeology, astronomy, Eng- lish, romance languages, German, journalism, Latin, history, Oriental languages, economics, history, geography, political science, geology, philosophy, mathematics, psychology, sociology and many others. The literary college consists of a four year course and leads to a bachelor of arts or bachelor of science degree. Several other special curricula are included in the school. with the present Administration's irrepressible knack of antagonizing business can achieve re- covery through spending, however sound the program may be in theory. -Jack Canavan Wown & Iown By STAN M. SWINTONe Hollywood's Wolverines An advertisement in yesterday's Daily pointed out that an MGM special called "Within TheI Law" opens today at the Majestic with a castI headed by Ruth Hussey. And therein lies a story, for it was only a few years ago that the same Ruth Hussey was the star of Play Produc- tion presentations on campus.1 A Providence, R.I. girl, she made her biggestI 'University hit in "The Last of Mrs. Cheyney." A modernized version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"I met with success here also. In Hollywood she failed to click but finally talked her way into a test that won her the lead with Robert Young inI "Rich Man, Poor Girl." Then she did "Spring Madness." * * * Working at the same lot in cinema-town is S. Sylvan Simon, today Hollywood's youngest director and six years ago a student here. The, 28-year-old Simon majored in speech while in Ann Arbor and was a Phi Bete and Kappa Nu. Simon went to school as long or longer than any other Michigan man-he'd been left a bequest which provided an income as long as he coh- tinued his education but automatically stopped when he quit school. Aline MacMahon, the intelligent and compe-' tent actress who appeared in Ann Arbor last spring, was Simon's aunt. She got him a movie break with Universal after he had directed "Girls in Uniform" and several other plays. He did "A Girl With Ideas," "Prescription for Ro- mance," "The Nuse From Brooklyn," "The Crime of Dr. Hallett" and "The Road to Reno" for them and then went over to MGM after Mervyn LeRoy liked the way he directed an actress' test. So far he's done half a dozen pictures for Muggum, including one, "Spring Madness," that featured Ruth Hussey. * * * Another collegian to cross the divide separat- ing professional and amateur actors was Mar- tha Scott. She came to Michigan from a hick town of 50, Gee's Creek, Missouri. While here she made a real success under Valentine Windt's direction and decided upon a professional career. Her Emily Webb in the Pulitzer prize-winning "Our Town" brought a dozen screen tests-and a gossip columnist's prediction she would be Scar- let. She wasn't, which is a good thing in our estimation. There's many another Michigan grad cor- nected with the theatre. Avery Hopwood, wh contributed the prizes which make the Univer- sity Mecca for the collegiate author, was a suc- cessful writer of commercial plays, including "The Bat." CHATTER: Ann Arbor played a part in the real-life drama which ended the other day with confessions by Mrs. Velma Baker Fink that she staged a phoney kidnapping to hide the murder of her 10-week-old son. The marriage which re- sulted in the child's birth took place secretly at Angola, Ind., on Nov. 28, 1935, after a couple of kids named Velma Baker and Ervin Fink came to this city to see a U of M football game and decided they were too much in love to stay apart. Later they Were divorced. Now Mrs. Fink faces murder charges! * * * Pete Appleton of the Washington Senators- he was Pete Jablonowski when he played ball for the University-is in a Washington hospital . . . injured by a line drive off Bobby Estalella's bat . . . he was here in '24, '25 and '26 . . translated his Polish name into English and came out with Appleton . . . Congenial Harry Wismer, WJR sportscaster, sitting in the lobby of Angell Hall with a lovely co-ed . . . whose name turn out to be McBride . . . Harry wasn't feeling very well-at least he didn't mention (1) how the sales of a certain cigar have sky-rocketed re- rently; (2) what radio program caused the sky- rocketing . .. Michigamua, senior honorary society, held its annual ride toward the end of the last semester. Members of the Tribe mount upon horses and, retaining their balance as best they can, clatter through town'until they reach the abode of one of the chosen. Whereupon, they dismount, rush upstairs, tear his pajamas off and then offer hearty congratulations. Throughout the early hours of dawn the horses' hoofs beat an accom- paniment to restlessness for most of the town but one little tike didn't think so. Arising at 7:30 a.m. the morning after the Tribe had descended upon one of his neighbors, the little fellow. knocked at the door and asked if the new member of Tribe was there and, when told yes, proceeded upstairs. Arriving, he bent over the student's bed and inquired seriously: "Santa Claus came and saw you last night, didn't he? I know because I heard the rein-. deers."
