KELSEY When more than 60 strangers to the city of Detroit get together to acquaint themselves with that fourth largest metropolis of these, our Unit- ed States, plenty of action may be expected, and plenty of action there was when participants in the second Summer Session Excursion landed yesterday in the midst of the town in one fell swoop. The Detroit Institute of Arts fell first victim to the crowd. After dis- persal through the labrinthic halls, recommendations ran rife with each meeting. "You must see Michelan- gelo's' sketch of Adam's arm" and "You shouldn't miss theaRaphael fragment" were typical, and everyone gazed at the Rivera frescoes, mar- velling at the technique of that mas- ter of muralists.

Kennedy of Yale University and of the Summer Session faculty will lecture at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday on "The Fundamen- tals of Chinese Word Order." At the regular luncheon conference Thursday Dr. Murray B. Emeneau will discuss "Phonemes and Mor- phophonemes of Kolami." Professor Kennedy's lecture will be of unusual importance to persons in- terested in the English language, ac- cording to Prof. C. C. Fries, director of the Institute. Almost complete loss of inflections in Modern English, Dr. Fries points out, has made it similar in many respects to Chinese, so that many structural analogies may be profitably observed. Similar help in understanding some of the phonetic problems of English may be secured from a study of the sound structure of a quite dif- ferent language, Professor Fries says,; and such an opportunity will be pre- sented by Dr. Emeneau in his dis- cussion of the phonemes, or minimal meaningful sounds, of a language of southern India. This language, which is not at all related to the Indo-European group, Dr. Emeneau studied during research work in In- dia by analyzing the speech of na- tive users of the Kolami tongue. Leavell Claims Guest Talks Are Featured By Churches Blakeman, Morgan, Frank, Brashares, Koch, Irwin, Parr Are On Programs Guest speakers and supply minis- ters will be heard in the Ann Arbor church pulpits and in the church student guild meetings here today.

Hamilton To Give Voice Lessons Here One time assistant professor of voice in the University, James Ham- ilton, tenor, has returned to Ann Arbor, offering vocal instruction pri- vately. Hamilton studied singing in Birm- ingham, Ala., later at Northwestern University and took post-graduate work in the University here. He has been a member of the voice faculty of the Lyceum Arts Conservatory of Chicago, and has studied with teach- ers of singing throughout the world. Rogers Will Speak Here Third of a series of afternoon con- ferences on "State and National Trends in Education," a talk on "The New Day and the New Education" will be given at 4:05 p.m. tomorrow in the University High School Audi- torium by James E. Rogers, Director of the Physical Education Service of the National Recreation Association. BULLETIN BROCKVILLE, Ont.-(I)-Dr. James Monroe Smith, Louisiana State University president who was being sought on charges of embezzlement, was arrested here tonight.- Dr. Smith said he would waive extradition, paving the way for his return to the United States. At the same time, Sheriff Newman De Bretton revealed at Baton Rouge, La., that he had received at telegram from Dr. Smith saying he had read In newspapers he was sought and would return immediately. No further details were avail- able as The Daily went to press this morning. Play Season's Next Offering Is Sea Drama Herman Meijerman's "The Good Hope," second drama to be present- ed here by the Michigan Repertory Players, will open at 8:30 p.m. Wed- nesday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. Turning from comedy as seen in their first offering, the Players will present a more serious play. "The Good Hope" deals with the tragic life of the Dutch fishing folk and is set against the background of the exciting and uncertain sea. . This play, largely a social com- ment on practices formerly com- mon in the Dutch fishing industry, was partly responsible for the Ships Act of 1909 which relieved the fish- ermen of many of the abuses de- scribed. The story of "The 'Good Hope" deals with a leaky, unseaworthy ship, ownetd by the unscrupulous Clemens Bos, which is nevertheless sent out to sea to weather a great storm. Aboard are, among others, the two sons of Old Kniertje, Barend and Beert. Kniertje has previously lost her husband and two sons to the sea. The playwright, Heijermans, was particularly, masterful in the ,por- ptayalof his characters, taken direct- ly from a vigorous and picturesque peasant group. Strong emotional dif- ferences and exciting moments, caused by the treacherous sea, gave life to the finely drawn characters. Responsible for the direction of ths production is Prof. Valentine B. Windt of the speech department. Costumes will again be designed by Miss Lucy Barton and art direction will be under Oren Parker. The first presentation of the Reper- tory Company, "Michael and Mary," by A. A. Milne, closed last night. It enjoyed considerable box-office suc- cess, officials announced. Inspection Trip To Ford Plant Is Wednesday Reservations DueBy 5 p.m. Tomorrow; Production Units Will Be Viewed Third of the series of Summer Session excursions, a trip to the Ford plant in Dearborn on the River Rouge will be conducted from 12:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday by Prof. Carl J. Coe, Director of Summer Sessions Excursions. Reservations must be made by 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Summer Ses- sion office, Room 1213 Angell Hall. Round trip bus fare, the only ex- pense, will amount to $1.25. Students wishing to follow the bus in private cars, thus saving the fare, are in- vited to do so. The Ford plant, a marvel of mass production, covers an area of about 1,000 acres on which are located blast furnaces, open hearth furnaces, foundry, steel mill, rolling mill, mo- tor assembly plant, body plant, glass plant, final assembly line, ore^ un- loading docks and numerous other units. At full capacity, more than 100,000 workers are employed. The party taking the tour will visit the motor assembly plant, the final assembly line, the open hearth fur- naces and the rolling mill. This program will provide oppor- tunity for observing typical phases of the Ford industrial technique: extreme specialization of labor, the continuous conveyor belt system, ef- ficiency in the standardized proces- sing of materials and large scale pro- duction. Roosevelt Refuses To Accept Defeat On Monetary Issue -W Pleads For Program. il come for- to Hitler on Everything in official quarters in- dicated that Germany believes the argument of "self-determination" holds as good today for Danzig as it did for Austria, the Sudetenland, and Memel, and that Britain will not dare oppose it. Crisis Is Different There is at least one big differ- ence between the situation this sum- mer and that of a year ago preceding the drive against Czechoslovakia. Now German propaganda is not driv- ing headlong - against the Poles with' screaming tales about atrocities and with threats of action, as it did against the Czechs. This time Britain and her newly- welded bloc of allies are the main target. The Foreign Office categorically denied today that Hitler or his first aide, Field Marshall Hermann Wil- helm Goering, or any other leading Nazi personality planned to go to Danzig. The Foreign Office said that in any case none of them would go until after the Free City formally was annexed by the Reich. Gamelin Is Recalled In Case Of Trouble PARIS. Jtly 1.-OP)-Premier Dal- adier today called General Maurice Gustave Gamelin back to Paris to keep France's armed forces ready in event of trouble over the Free City of Danzig. The gray-haii'ed soldier who com- mands all armed forces of the na- tion cancelled his proposed tour of Corsica to return to his Paris head- quarters over the weekend from an inspection of French defenses on the Italian frontier. _His recall to the capital followed' a three-hour meeting of the cabinet with President Albert Lebrun during which Daladier received unanimous approval of his announced determina- tion to back Poland if she resisted any German attempt to sei-e Danzig. Bonnet said that the recent speech-. es of Daladier and British Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax were "warn- ing enough" to Germany that both France and Britain would carry out pledges to Poland. Desnite Bonnet's idelaratinn ti Marshall declared, is unnecessary. $A cheap camera plus a little experience will get equally good results, he claimed. The benefits derived by the news- paperman are four-fold, Marshall declared. f\irst, a good photograph will often attract an editor's attention to a story submitted by the prospec- tive reporter. In future reporting, the journalist is a great asset to the paper if he is able to perform the functions both of the photographer and the reporter. Turning to his own experiences, Marshall cited several cases during his work as foreign correspondent (Coitinued on Page 4) Germans Send Radi0 Appeals Order A 'Joke' Charged Father - In - Law With Prisoning Bride KALAMAZOO, July, 1.-(/P)-Pet- er H. Leavell, '42, bridegroom of four days, said tonight that his obtain- ing a court summons charging that his father-in-law had "unlawfully imprisoned and detained" his bride was "just a joke." He obtained the order at Madison, Wis., against Russell S. Knappen, Tulsa, Okla., oil company executive. Knappen and his daughter, Mar- garet Anne, were reported enroute home to, Tulsa from Madison. Leavell said "that will depend"- but didn't say upon what - when asked if he would have the action dismissed. Neither would he explain what prompted the "joke." * * *r Hull Declares Country Needs. Neutrality Bill Administration's Measure Will Encourage World Peace, Secretary Asserts WASHINGTON, July 1. --(P)- Voicing a new plea for approval of the Administration's neutrality pro- gram, Secretary of State Hull point- edly told Congress today that it was needed not alone for this country's' own interests but to encourage world peace.1 The Administration program, he said in a statement, "is not only best calculated to keep this Nation out of war in the event war comes, but also, what is all important at this time, best calculated to make a far greater contribution than could the present law or its equivalent toward the discouragement of the outbreak of war." The Secretary's statement was, made at a press conference, but it was obvious that it was directed as well to Capitol Hill where a coali- tion of Republicans and Democrats *in the House ripped the Administra- tion's measure to pieces last night and approved an embargo on arms sales to nations at war. Representatives Vorys (Rep.-Ohio), who sponsored the amendment, ex- plained that he wanted to forbid sales of "lethal" weapons, but was willing to permit sales of airplanes, oil, cop- per and other products which might be embargoed under the existing statute. In some quarters Hull's statement was interpreted as a warning that failure to repeal the embargo com- pletely would encourage dissatisfied nations to aggression, since the arms factories of this country would be closed to their victims., Chairman Pittman (Dem.-Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee put this viewpoint in blunt language by asserting that the House members who frustrated the Admin- istration's wishes "have really adop- ted a policy of Help Hitler."' "If this encouragemnt results in war in the next thirty days, there will be more thoughtful consideration of the problems," he said in a state- ment. Pittman said he endorsed in entire- ty the views expressed by Hull, but at the same time indicated a belief that there would have to be some concessions to the House if any bill was to tbe enacted. Laskey Is Hurt In Auto Crash Insists On A Continuance Of Devaluation Powers; Administration Rallies Taft, Vandenberg Continue Attacks WASHINGTON, July 1. -4P)- President Roosevelt was reported to- day to have taken a "no surrender" position in his twin battles with a rebellious Congress over monetary and neutrality legislation. Friends said that apparently the Chief Executive had no thought of compromise on either .issue. His last public word on the monetary ques- tion was an insistence that his powers be continued, and Secretary Hull, only today, reasserted the Adminis- tration's demand for neutrality legis- lation of the sort which the House turned down last night. Administration leaders had the ad- vantage of a long holiday weekend to rally their shattered forces in an effort to put through the Senate next Wednesday legislation to revive the President's power to devalue the dol- lar. and continue operation of the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund. Minton Is Optimistic Both sides admitted that the re- sult was in doubt, though Se ator Minton (Dem.-Ind.) predicted that by the time the vote was taken Presi- dent Roosevelt's friends would be able to count enough noses to assure adoption of a conference °report al- ready approved by the House. On the other hand, Senator Taft (Rep.-O) said he believed the report imight be beaten A controversy within the monetary controversy °Vas the ontention by some legislators that a favorable Sen- ate vote Wednesday would not revive the monetary powers which expired at the stroke of midnight Friday. Need New Legislation Senators Taft and Vandenberg (Rep.-Mich.), spearheads of the Re- publican attack on the devaluation authority, asserted today that it would be necessary for the Roosevelt forces to introduce entirely new legis- lation, taking it through the routine channels of Congress. The pending legislation was so writ- ten as to extend the expiring powers. A vote on it before the midnight hour was balked by debate by Republicans and some Democrats which dragged out the session to 1:53 a.. Before adjournment, it was agreed to have a vote at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Adams Disagrees Taking .issue with Taft and Van- denberg,'Senator Adams (Dem.-Colo.) author of a Senate-approved amend- ment to the bill which would have put an,. end to the devaluation sec- tion, said that if the Senate ap- proves the pending legislation there could be no question as to the Presi- dent's right to cut an additional nine cents of gold value out of the dollar any time in the next two years. Adams stood with Taft and Van- denberg, however, on the contention that the $2,000,000 stabilization fund, set up to maintain this country's cur- rency on a desired level with those of other countries, could not be re- vived by the pending legislation. Long Accuses Superintendent Says LSU Building Head Got Two Per Cent Cut British War Labor Asks Over Danzig No LONDON, July 1.-(MP)-Friendly secret radio stations on the contin- ent and an underground organiza- tion in Germany were reliably re- ported today to have been called into play to convey an appeal for peace from British labor to the German people. Labor circles said such hidden machinery was used for similar ap- peal in the Czecho-Slovak crisis of last September and indicated that it was expected now to augment the facilities openly employed by the government - controlled B r i t i s h Broadcasting Company. Today's appeal, prepared for the B.B.C.'s regular broadcast in German, dealt specifically with Danzig, urg- ing Germans to influence their gov- ernment not to go to war for the Free City but also warning that war would come if Nazi pressure on Poland is continued.

Cosmic Rays May Cast Light- On Inner Mysteries Of Physics Nobel Prize Winner Sees Powerful Tool In Use Of Cosmic Radiation I Though the total energy received Investigation of cosmic rays may! give valuable information not only as to the so-far unexplained origin of the cosmic radiation itself, but may also cast considerable light on the subject of nuclear physics, Prof. Enrico Fermi predicts. Unwilling as most eminent scien- tists to venture a guess into the fu- ture, Professor Fermi is, however, quite enthusiastic as to the future of cosmic ray investigation and appli- cation. He received the Nobel Prize in physics last year for outstanding work done in investigating the prop- erties and effects of neutrons. Gen- from cosmic radiation is very small, this energy is so highly concentrated that cosmic rays can be up to a mil- lion times more powerful than those produced by the cyclotron., Among these high-energy projec- tiles a new elementary particle, the mesotron, has been discovered. The mesotron, although little is yet known about it, appears to have a mass intermediate between that of the proton and the electron, and carries either a positive or negative charge. Speculating on the function of this particle, Professor Fermi quotes Yu- kawa's theory according to which it may be responsible for nuclear forces in atoms. It may be in the same re- lationship to the field of force re- sponsible for nuclear binding as the BATON ROUGE, July 1. --)- Gov. Earl K.
