By STAN M. SWINTON
A tremendous outdoor ice cream
festival, proceeds from which are to
be used to send medical aid to China,
will be held next Friday and Satur-
day on the mall between the League
and Hill Auditorium.
A committee h'eaded by Beth O'-
Roke, president of the League, has
been planning the affair for several
weeks. Tables and chairs will be set
up on the streets running down to
the Rackham Building, making the
mall one huge outdoor cafe. A singlel
great stand will furnish ice cream
for the gathering.
On the Rackham Building steps,
Earl Stevens and his orchestra will
play for outdoortdancing. Attempts
are being made to bring one of the
Ford Motor Co. orchestras here also,
so that square dances can also be
held.
Free entertainment will be provid-
ed by Chinese students. Plans for
the Chinese program are not com-
pleted as yet, the committee said, but
arrangements have been made for a
Chinese Dragon dance and an ex-
hibition of shuttle-cock. Chinese stu-
dents also will maintain a special
stand where oriental delicacies may
be purchased. Chinese dumplings
will be made on the spot and sold to
those in attendance.
Tentative plans call for a special
concert by the University Summer
Session band, in Hill Auditorium in
connection with the Festival.
Members of the committee in
charge of the affair are Mayor Wal-
ter C. Sadler; Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson,
counsellor to foreign students; Miss
Ethel McCormick, social director' of
the League; Utah Tsao, representa-
tive of the Chinese students;- Beth
O'Roke, president of theLeague;
Virginia Osgood, of the League ex-
ecutive council; Edward C. Pardon,
head of the Buildings and Grounds
department and Mrs. Edward Blake-
man.
Present plans call for the festival
to be held from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m.
each of the two night.

Representative Hook (Dem.-Mich.)
described in the Congressional Record
today a speech on "the shocking state
of affairs" at Louisiana State Uni-
versity and recalled he had cited to
Congress several times "a state of
affairs existing" in a land grant col-
lege in Michigan which he asserted
"parallels in many respects the shock-
ing state of affairs in Louisiana.",
"The ring in control of Louisiana
politics has controlled the develop-
ments of their State university.
"In Michigan it is the 'McKay
Gang' of Blue Water Bridge fame, not
to forge the reported payoff on the
bonds of the million-dollar student
dormitory at the Michigan State Col-
lege, working through such stooges
as Melvin McPherson, Clark L. Bro-
dy, members of the State Board of
Agriculture and college officials.
"They have prostituted the Michi-
gan State College, the Extension Ser-
vice and the Farm Bureau.
"The McKay-Brody ring has been
more successful in covering their
operations .than the Louisiana wreck-
ing crew. When graft and corruption
was running rampant this Republi-
can machine group was influential
enough to have a decision rendered
white-washing their misdeeds."
Hook charged that oJseph Baldwin,
then assistant doorkeeper of the
Unitedt ates Senate, made an assist-
ant attorney general render service
"by whitewashing all those connected
with this affair and particularly the
college racketeers."

Latin-America
Music Subject
Of Dr. Berrien
California Professor Talks
At Five This Afternoon.
In Rackham Building
Dr. William C. Berrien of the Uni-
versity of California, visiting member
of the faculty of the Latin-American
Institute, will describe "Musical
Activities in Latin-America" at 5
p.m. today in the Rackham Auditori-
um.
Dr. Berrien will discuss the activi-
ties of the Latin-American composers,
showing how they have faced the
problems of composition and of build-
ing an interest in music in their
countries. On the whole, the best-
known of these composers in the
United States are those from Brazil
and Mexico.
A natural cultural exclusiveness
tends to exist between the different
Latin-American countries, and Dr.
Berrien will explain how the works of
certain composers have become known
in all of the countries. Immediately
preceding his talk, there will be an
informal program of Brazilian re-
cordings in the Rackham Auditorium.
Dr. Berrien, who is instructor of
Portuguese and Spanish at the Uni-
versity of California, has made a
study of the Latin-American musical
activity and has worked with some
of the composers of whom he will
speak today. He has written several
articles on the subject.
Delphi Is Subject

Waste Seven Weeks Work
As Sub Plunges Down

Exonerate Worker
In Air Carrier Fire
PORTSMOUTH, N.H., July 13.-
(/P)-Pure luck and skillful handling
of their craft saved 20 navy men from
being thrown into the sea late today
as. the partially flooded submarine
Squalus broke away from a salvage
crew and plummeted back to the
ocean bottom through a tangled net
of lifting equipment.
The men were in two of the sal-
vage vessel Falcon's whaleboats-10
to a boat-close to the larger craft's
side when pontoons, air hose, buoys
and the Squalus' bow shot skyward
like a geyser without warning.
"Go back," men shouted from the
Falcon's deck, and the crews of
whaleboats, who had been waiting to
close the bow pontoons' valves when
they broke the ocean surface, ma-
neuvered their craft out of the surge,
of water.
The Squalus had reared suddenly
from the ocean depths like a giant
fish seeking freedom from an ang-
ler's hook.
Thus, in one disastrous minute,
seven arduous and dangerous weeks
of salvage preparation were all but
nullified. Hardly hadthe Squalus
resettled, however, when the Navy
actually began to .build a new lifting
effort upon the wreckage of the old.
Preparations were made to work
through the night.

About $700 Raised
In Annual Tag Day
Drive, Orfficials Say
The one day drive of the Univer-
sity Fresh Air Camp for funds raised
about $700 Wednesday, camp officials
reported.
The drive, which was carried out
by sun-tanned youths especially
brought in from the Camp for the
day, failed to match the results
achieved last year. When the total
is known, however, the previous sum
may be reached, it was said.
The Summer Tag Day is an annual
affair which plays an important af-
fair in financing the Fresh Air Camp.
Money received in the drive is used

Professor Olson also pointed out
that the children who were the hap-
piest and best adjusted were those
in which the whole development had
proceeded evenly, and in coordinated
manner. Sluggish growth in -cer-

Others listed on the tentative pro-
gram are Prof. Leroy Waterman,
chairman of the d-.partment of
oriental languages, Prof. Lowell J.
Carr of the Child Guidance Insti-

Long Service
To University
Cardiac Attack Brings End
To Professor Who Was
Pioneer In Physiology
Work Recognized
By Many Groups
Dr. Warren Plimpton Lombard, for
more than 30 years . professor of
physiology in the University Medical
School, died yesterday morning fo-
lowing a cardiac attack.
Dr. Lombard's death ended a ea-
reer which had brought him such
honors as the presidency of the
American Physiological Society and
the University Research Club. He
was credited with playing an im-
portant part in the development of
modern medical teaching.
"The faculty and alumnf of the
medical. school mourn the death of
Dr. Lombardi," Dr. Albert C. Fursten-
berg, Dean of. the School of Medicine,
said yesterday. 'As one of the pion,
neers' of this institution and a na-
tional figure in the field of physiol-
ogy, he made Irmany epochal contribu-
tions to the progress of medirne.
"His teaching and stalwart citizen-
ship have set an example which will
not fail of lasting influence at Mich-
igan. He dedicated his life to the
students of our medical school and
gave generously of time and effort
that they should obtain a full mea-
sure of help and education. The
University has suffered the loss of
a great scholar, a benefactor and- a
loyal friend."
Born In 1853
A native of West Newton, Mass.,
Dr. Lombard was born May 9, 1855.
He attended Boston and Newton pub-
lic schools before entering Harvard
College. He graduated from Har-
vard in 1878 and three years later
won de ree of oo)dr of Medicine
from the Harvard Medical School.
Dr. Lombard spent the next three
years abroad and then returned to
America to take an assistantship in
physiology in the College of Physi-
cians and Surgeons in New York
City. He left the position to travel
again. In 1889 he returned to this
country and became assistant pro-
fessor of physiology In Clark Univer-
sity where he remained until he was
appointed to the professorship of
physiology and histology here , in
1892.
Active In Research
During his years here the prom-
inent scientist became'active in the
development of scientific and schol-
arly research an medicine. In 1923
he retired and received the title of.
Professor - Emeritus, donating his
large medical library to the Univer-
sity. The library is kept in a special.
room in the East Medical building.
Dr. Lombard had published many
articles, the journals printing 1-is
work including "Archiv fur Anato-
mie and Physiologie," "The Joural
of Physiology," "The American Jour-
nal of Physiology" and the "Ameri-
can Journal of Medical Science.' He
contributed on the article on the
Department of Physiology in the
forthcoming Encyclopedia of the
University.
Recently Honored
A charter member of the American
Physiological Society, Dr. Lombard
had served as secretary, member Of
the executive council and president
of the organization. At the recently
celebrated 50th anniversary of the
group at Baltiore he was especia ly
honored.

Nazi government is nothing more or
less than communism, 'Walter L.
Badger, former member of the Uni-
versity faculty, said yesterday in re-1
viewing his recent trip to Germany.1
This year's , trip, he explained,
showed a greatly changed attitude on
the part of the one group with whom
he came into direct contact. Last year,
although he talked with a great many
more people and lectured extensively
in many places, he received no per-
sonal impressions from the German
people as to the government and their
relations to it. This year, however, he
found that individual opinions were
forthcoming, and that the attitude of
patriotism and 'Heil Hitler' was very
definitely changed.
Fed up with Nazi policies, and feel-
ing strongly about the harsh treat-
ment of the Jews, those to whom Mr.
Badger talked seemed to feel that the
breaking point is inevitably nearing.
Taxes are so high that small business
is virtually being crowded out, and
while big business is in part, and in
some cases wholly controlled by the
German government, no official state-
ments are available as to the extent
to which this is true, nor as to how
successful these businesses are in re-
gard to their individual interests. The
external business status remains the
these, and the oppressed Jews, the
concentration camp has become the
symbol of Der Fuehrer's power.
Food shortage, Mr. Badger said,
has become a great problem even in
the hotels which have up to this time
catere dto tourist trade. Butter and
cream are kept in cold storage and
meat is almost impossible to buy.
Prices are skyrocketing to the extent
of putting bare necessities beyond
the reach of thousands.
One illustration of communistic
tendencies on the part of Nazis, Mr.
Badger pointed out, is the fact that
it was formerly understood that every
girl of the working class between the
ages of 18 and 20 who intended to
marry or to hold any domestic posi-
tion must go to a labor camp where
she learned cooking and sewing, for
a period of six months. This spring
it became compulsory for every gir]
of that age, regardless of her cir-
cumstances, to attend such an insti-
tution. Furthermore, women and
children are now compelled to work
in the fields and assume other jobs
so that the men may take up military
duties.
Due to the inadequacy of finished
products, which are skimped in pure
macerials and put through hurriec
production, and to the inability of
