PAGE FOUR THE MICHIG-AN D.AILY THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1942 ......... ........ ..... .... .... ... .. i r . , I Inter - Racial Body Sponsors UnitySpeech Reverend Horace White Analyzes Issue Of Race On Economic Grounds That "Racial discrimination is the result of economic causes and can be eradicated by striking at the eco- nomic roots," was the thesis of Rev. Horace White's speech yesterday at the Union, under the auspices of the Inter-Racial Association. With convincing evidence Rev. White hammered home the point that, "You never have a race prob- lem until you have an economic problem." White proposed that, "As long as the Negroes are not of sufficient number to offer competition for bread, homes, jobs, or whatever men compete for, there is no discrimina- tion against them." Among the salient bits of evidence in proof of this proposition, Rev. White pointed out that, "In the North the amount of anti-Negro feeling was negligible until the Negroes emi- grated in sufficient numbers to com- pete with the whites." White also demonstrated to the full house that the men at the top of our economic oligarchy have fos- tered racial intolerance in order to weaken the position of labor by di- viding it on black, white and yellow lines. The solution to the race problem, the speaker indicated, "lies in mak- ing men aware of the fact that coop- eration between the races is to their mutual selfish advantage, and not in asking for brotherhood on moral grounds." Sunken Ship's Steel Salvaged JaP Ibomb Hits The Yorktown Japanese bomber scores a direct hit on the U.S. aircraft carrier Yorktown during the historic battle of Midway, despite the heavy curtain of anti-aircraft fire thrown up by the carrier and accompanying fighting ships of a U.S. Pacific task force. In a resume of the b attle ,the Navy announced the Japanese lost 20 ships, including four aircraft carriers sunk or damaged plu s 275 aircraft destroyed or lost at sea and 4,800 men killed or drowned. The Yorktown was "put out of acti on" and the destroyer Hammann was torpedoed and our total personnel losses were 92 officers and 215 enli sted men," the Navy's communique said.

Chinese Doctor From Camp Filibert Roth: State Trooper Describes Gasl Warfare Here Chemicals Can Effectively Stop Production, Fire College Students Told "Although chemical agents pro- duce less material damage than de- molition bombs, they can effectively stop production," Sergt. Leo W. Frank of the Michigan State Police declared in a lecture yesterday to Michigan Firemen gathered at the Rackham Building. After describing the importance of gases in the last world war, Sergeant Frank discussed the characteristics of the four most commonly used toxic agents: Phosgene, Choro-pic- rin, Mustard, and Lewisite. Protection from Phosgene and Chloro-picrin, he explained requires only a gas mask, whereas, Mustard and Lewisite attack the skin as well as lungs and throat. Sergeant Frank recalled that the deadly American discovery of Lewis- ite has already been used once by the Japanese in the present conflict. Addresses by Lt. Col. Harold A. Furlong and Maj. C. E. Brilhart were given earlier in the day. Major Bril- hart defined the relationship be- tween the military and Civil Defense, while Lt. Col. Furlong spoke on Civil- ian Protection. Both addresses emphasized the im- portance of cooperating with the civ- ilian defense volunteers in an effort to increase the moral of the boys on the front by protecting the lives and homes of their friends and relatives. These lectures were given as part of the program of the fourteenth an- nual Michigan Fire College sponsored by the University Extension Service. New Engine Course Added To Program Newest addition to the University's war-time engiireering courses is the program in Engine Acceptance Test- ing getting under way this week. Conducted as part of the Engineer- ing, Science and Management War Training program, the course has for its students the 15 top men gradu- ating from the Ordnance Materials Inspection group. After completing the four-week course in which 20 hours a week are spent in labs and another 20 in class, the graduates will be qualified to act as supervisors in engine inspecting departments and will make the final decision in accepting or refusing motors. Prof. Walter Lay is in charge of the course. Read The Dtily Classifieds!

DETROIT, July 15.-('P)-The hull of a 244-foot oil tanker that had rested on the bottom of Lake Michi- gan for nearly six years was towed to Detroit today where its 1,400 tons of scrap will be used to further the war production effort. The tanker was once the J. Oswald Boyd, built in Scotland in 1913, and used for a time in the Atlantic Coast- al Service before being placed in service on the Great Lakes. It foundered in a snowstorm in November, 1936, on Simmons Shoal off Beaver Island. Six lives were lost when a tug exploded and a truck broke through the ice in an attempt to take off some of the 920,000 gal- lons of gasoline the vessel was car- rying. In 1937 the tanker was released from the shoal and taken to detour only to founder again. Her super- structure was salvaged, but it wqs only recently . that the hull was raised. The War Production Board said the scrap of the hull would be sold by the vessel's owner, the Nicholson Steamship Company, to the Great Lakes Steel Corporation here. Education Faculty Guests At Dinner The residents of Stockwell Hall will entertain members from the School of Education Workshop at a faculty dinner to be held this eve- ning.

Chinese music will be the topic of a lecture-demonstration by Dr. Gra- ham Mien Chen at 11 a.m. tomorrow in the University High School audi- torium. After receiving an Sc.D. degree in chemistry from the University in 1930, Dr. Chen returned to China where he taught at several univer- sities, including the famed Peiping Union Medical College, now closed by the Japanese. Shortly after the start of the present war, Dr. Chen came back to the United States, this time to obtain a medical degree at the University of Chicago. Though much of his life has been spent on scientific studies, Dr. Chen has developed an interest and talent in music. While in Peiping, he stud- ied under some of the masters of Chinese music and succeeded in gain- ing a competence on several Chinese musical. instruments. The instruments used by Dr. Chen will be on display after the lecture in Room 3001, University Iigh School, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. tomorrow. At 3:30 p.m. there will be a Chinese tea-reception in Room 3001, University High School, given by the staff and members of the Curriculum Workshop, under whose auspices the lecture-demonstration has been arranged. l The lecture and the display of mu- sical instruments will be open to all members of the University and to townspeople.

Forestry Stud By LARRY HOWARD Special to The Daily CAMP FILIBERT ROTH, July 16. -"Paul Bunyan" Criss left us this morning. While at camp he taught the fellows how to sharpen their axes and keepthem in good shape, the importance of proper handling and safe use. At the national Roleo at Gladstone, Mich., Paul proved his ability as an axeman by chopping a 12 inch white pine log in 13 seconds. His closest rival took 34 3/5 seconds. Paul is considered the world's fastest chop- .

He is no pushover at handling the crosscut saw-at the same roleo he and his partner, Ed Meeks, sawed through a 15-inch white pine in nine seconds, the saw crossing the log 10 times. Silver Jack and partner were next with 14 3/5 seconds time. It is the custom to have our sings only on Sunday evenings but hav- ing Mr. Art Granum in camp was an opportunity that couldn't be missed. He has been in the saw businesssfor 20 odd years. He consented to give us some musical entertainment one evening after supper. Weenjoyedhearing him play on the piano, several numbers on the saw (an art that is not often seen these days), and accompanying the group singing with the song-whistle. After the songfest and the musi- cale Paul Bunyan began his version (uncensored, undisputed) of the ori- gin of Paul Bunyan, the legendary hero of forestry and logging camps. He said one of the deer tracks was aboutsthesize of a bear's track- when he turned and chanced to see a live bear and her 'three cubs not two chains away (a chain is a dis- tance of 66 feet) walking past our crowd along the lake shore. He in- terrupted himself to. point out the bears . . . and bedlam broke loose. After much scampering through the brush the cubs were treed and the mother kept away while Ken and Jerry climbed two trees, and roped two of the cubs. Ken brought his cub into a boat which had been brought up to a convenient point nearby-and the cub nearly chased everybody out into the lake with his biting, clawing and growling.
