No. 11 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 13, 1941 Z-323 r0 PRISE FIVE CENTS Education Parley Formulates Plans For War Recovery World Reconstruction Plan Is Submitted At Final Session Of Conference Assumes Def eat Of Totalitarianism By WILLIAM BAKER Nineteen elucators from six coun- tries yesterday submitted to the final session of the eighth international conference of the New Education Fel- lowship a plan for reconstruction of the world after war embodying the formation of a world brotherhood of nations and giving to youth its re- sponsibility in the post-war world. The report, described as the first concrete attempt of qualified men to solve the problem of post-war re- construction," stated that reconstruc- tion after war must reach into -every form of our economic, political and social life. "Without careful planning and pre- paration of the educational element in this reconstruction, Europe will again collapse." In making the report, the Com- mittee assumed that Hitler and Hit- lerism will be defeated, and the world will be left in a state of near-chaos. Three points were contained in the report for action at the end of the war. Paramount tasks would be the immediate feeding and care of chil- dren of all nations, medical care and public health care to prevent outbreak of epidemic, and the reconstruction of schools and housing. Call For Cooperation The Committee called for the full- est cooperatiop of all with the lead- ers of the post-war era. A comprehensive plan of education for children, youth and adults must be developed, adaited to diff1 ent cultural conditions, and making the fullest use of the experiences and wisdom of the great educators. The only basis for a durable peace is a brotherhood of nations, the re- port continues, in which each society recognizes its own duties and rights. - No existing society is a perfect de- mocracy, but democracy is the stan- dard by which societies and their governments are judged and the idea and goal towards which they strive. Affirming that the first duty of society is to guarantee to every man, woman and child equal opportunity for education without regard to race, birth, sex, income or creed, the Com- mittee declared that to embody these principles into a society of the future, men must be inspired by forces which spring from a deeper dimension of life. Action, Faith And Reason "To develop, men need action; to act, men need faith; to keep faith, men need reason; to direct all three, men need a vision of excellence; and all this is empty unless it is pervaded by love; and love is action and out- going." The Committee laid down seven tenets for the improvement of the educational system, claiming that the main need is to break down the walls that stand between school and com- munity. Equality should become a reality in (Continued on Page 6) Portugal Assured By U.S. On Azores NEW YORK, July 12:- ()-The United States has given Portugal as- surances it will not move into the Azores or Cape Verde Islands, Joao A. Dibianchi, Portuguese Minister, de- clared today. Dibianchi, awaiting the arrival of a Clipper carrying his daughter from Bermuda, said, "We've got full con- fidence in the United States Govern- ment and that's what counts." (Pour contingents of Portuguese treips have been sent to the Azores within the last three months, two of them this week. (Portugal protested to the United States after President Roosevelt in his fireside chat May 27 mentioned the Azores as a possible foothold for German operations.)

Ditz Named As Summer Parley Head Annual Two.Day Session Will Be Sponsored By Student Senate Group Date For Conclave Is Set Tentatively Chaired by William Ditz with Irv- ing Jaffee as secretary, the annual Summer Parley has ,been tentatively set for July 25 and 26, but a definite date and subject for the two-day session will be revealed early this week. Some phase of international rela- tions will probably be chosen as topic for the parley, the third summer con- ference sponsored by the Student Senate. Its sessions are open to all students and members of the gen- eral public. , Seven faculty members have been named to serve on the parley's ad- visory committee. Dr. Edward Blake- man, Counselor of Religious Educa- tion and Honorary President of the Student Senate, Prof. Charles Jame- son of the business administration school, Prof. James K. Pollock and Prof. Lawrence Preuss of the politi- cal science department, Mr. Claude Eggertson and Prof. Howard Mc- Clusky of the School of Education, and Prof. DeWitt Parker of the phi- losophy department will compose this advisory group. Chairman of the opening and clos- ing sessions will be Harold Guetz- kow, one of the three student mem- bers of the Publications Board. A. P. Blaustein, Karl Kessler and Daniel Huyett have been named to head the three discussion panels already pro- posed. A fourth panel may also be set up. The Summer Parley is a continu- ation of the sessions sponsored by the Student Senate during the school year. In the past it has poven a source of open treatment of current topics with both faculty and students taking part at its meetings. The subject of last year's -summer parley was "This War We Live In." 0 41 Tax Revision Is Considered Defense Expenditures May Necessitate Changes WASHINGTON, Juy 12. -{'P)- Mounting defense expenditures and smouldering controversies over tenta- tively-approved new levies led today to Capitol talk of further revision of the $3,500,000,000 tax bill Ten days ago the House Ways and Means Committee gave preliminary approval to legislation to raise $3,- 504,400,000, but there were reports that it ;night' be revised materially and its presentation to the House de- layed perhaps until Aug. 1. The tentatively-approved bill is de- signed to raise $1,154,500,000 addi- tional in individual income taxes, $1,332,000,000 in corporation levies and almost another billion dollars in excise and miscellaneous taxes. It is now in the hands of bill-drafting experts who expect to complete work on it next week. Because of President Roosevelt's requests in the last two days for more than $8,000,000,000 additional for de- fense, some committee members pre- dicted that an effort would be made to raise the tax bill's total now, rather than wait until later in the year or even until next year for a new one. One member said privately that he woud renew the periodic attempt that has been made to create a Congres- sional super-budget committee to co- ordinate the Government's expendi- tures and revenue. McKay Trial. Ends As Jury, Is Dismissed Judge Lederle Announces Decision To Write Up Case As Disagreement Will Have Retrial First Of October DETROIT, July 12. -(P)--The storybook trial of Republican Na- tional Committeeman Frank D. Mc- Kay, who is himself almost a story- book figure in Michigan politics, came to a storybook conclusion today- just a day short of two months from its beginning. The courtroom was packed with spectators-including relatives and friends of the defendants who had waited through six weary days dur- ing which the the jury deliberated- when U.S. District Judge Arthur F. Lederle announced he would write the case into the record as a dis- agreement. He ordered bonds of the twelve de- fendants continued and announced the case would be set for retrial, but "not before the first of October." Accused Of Mail Fraud McKay, Flint's former Mayor Wil- liam H. McKechan, and Fret C. Ehr- mann, former secretary of the State Liquor Commission, were accused of mail fraud in connection with a $500,000 liquor graft shakedown charged by the government as a basis for the eight counts of an in- dictment returned last November by a special federal grand jury. Most of the remaining defendants were associates in sales agencies which the indictment described as "dummy corporations" organized as fronts for illicit graft collections. They were: Louis H. Luckoff, vice- president of Bass-Luckoff, Inc., De- troit advertising agency. John H. Marolf, son of an Iron Mountain publisher. JamesA. Trimble and Fisher Lay- ton, both of Flint. Charles Williams of Windsor, Ont., and his son, Earl. Don Flory, Hudson, Mich. Isadore Schwartz and Charles Let- ter, both of Detroit. McKechan was associated with Marolf and Trimble in the Duo Sales Engineering & Service Co., special sales representative for Hiram Walk- er and other distilleries in 1935 and 1936, and with Charles and Earl Williams and Don Flory in the Wil- liams Sales Co., which took over the Hiram Walker account subsequently. Depicted As Go-Between Government attorneys depicted the two sales agencies, Brass-Luckoff, Inc., Schwartz and Leiter as go- betweens who relayed payoffs from distillers who sought to buy political favor in an attempt to boost their business in Michigan to "McKeighan, the lieutenant" and to "McKay, the boss." The defense contended the sales agencies were legitimate business enterprises and that transactions through which the government sought to link McKay with McKeighan, Luckoff, Schwartz and Leiter were likewise legitimate. Defense attorneys charged the en- tire prosecution to a "political con- spiracy" by "men high in the ranks of the Democratic Party" to revenge themselves for the defeat of former Governor Frank Murphy.

Wheeler has challenged the Chief Executive to ask a declaration of war "instead of trying to lead us in by the back door." Moscow ;Paints Different Picture Of War Situation, Sa'ys Defense Is, Holding Syrian Armistice Reported Initialed (By The Associated Press) Germany declared last night that Adolf Hitler's legions had broken the Stalin Line "at all decisive points," but Soviet Russia maintained stub- born fighting had produced no im- portant change on the 2,000-mile front. Vitebsk, on the Dvina River 300 miles west of Moscow, was taken Fri- day, the high command said, Ger- mans are advancing toward Lenin- grad east of Lake Peipus, on the Russian-Estonian frontier, and Nazi legions are "standing close before Kiev," the Ukraine capital. A markedly different picture was painted in a midnight communique from the Soviet Information Bureau in Moscow. It declared stubborn fighting took place Saturday in the Pskov, Vitebsk and Novograd Volynski sectors, but that these engagements produced no important changes in the front. Issued Simultaneously The German high command's statements were issued in a special communique shortly before mid- night, almost at the same time the Moscow war report was made. In the Ukrainian operations, the German high .command said "Ger- man and Rumanian armies moving out of Moldavia have thrown the enemy back to and over the Dnestr on a broad front." The break-through east of Minsk was accomplished, it said, by over- coming "the strong fortified zone of the Dnepi River"..north -of the Pinsk marshes, evidently a major target ever since the German forces moved east into the buffer territory of Po- land and the Sovietized Baltic states three weeks ago. Railways Destroyed "Our air force, by destroying the enemy railway net, already has taken away from the enemy further possi- bility of a counter operation on a large scale," the high command said. "Supply bases necessary for con- tinuing operations of our panzer armies already have been advanced close to the former Stalin Line." In another major development of the world's wars, an armistice agree- ment was reported to have been ini- tialed by representatives of the French and British-DeGaullist allies to end the 34-day-old war in Syria and Lebanon. , Ordered To Cease Firing A cease firing order went out Fri- day midnight to desert legions and ;arrison commands battling over the announced British intention to see that the French-mandated 'Levant ;tates did not become bases for a German drive against Suez.

A Pravda dispatch from the front leclared that Old Polish City, far be- "ind the German front, was still in Russian hands. * * * Foothold In Syria Threatened By Nazis (By The Associated Press) CAIRO, July 12.-Firing ceased in Syria today as the British and their Free French Allies signed an armis- tice on British terms with the Vichy forces of High Commissioner Gen- eral Henri Dentz. But within a few hours after Syri- an hostilities ended, Germany served explosive notice that Britain would have to fight to keep its middle east foothold. A German raid onthe vital Suez Canal route for American aid caused "some material damage," an Egyptian communique acknowledged. Shooting in the war which started June 8 ended at midnight, a middle east communique announced, "after General Dentz agreed to negotiate on our owh terms for suspension of Germany Reports Piercing Russia's Lines Of Defense 1 t I Reservations Due Tomorrow For Excursion To Ford Plant Students are reminded that reser-
