House Passes Canal Measure Florida Bill May Reopen St. Lawrence Fight By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, July 18. - Final Congressional approval today of the Florida barge canal and pipelines bill brought predictions from opponents that an attempt would follow to ob- tain legislative action on the pro- posed St. Lawrence River seaway and water power development. The House completed legislative action on a $93,000,000 authorization bill for the barge canal, gulf water- way improvement and construction of two or more pipelines. Its accept- ance of minor Senate amendments sent the measure to President Roose- velt who had indicated advance ap- proval of the proposal. b Asserting that passage of the bill had established pr'ecedent for spend- ing money on projects which would not contribute immediately to the war effort, Senator Gerry (Dem.- R.I.) said he expected the St. Law- rence project, which he also opposes, to be brought up soon. Expressing the same viewpoint, Senator Austin of Vermont, the as- sistant Republican leader, said he thought a $44,000,000 outlay for a high-level lock canal across Florida would be "wholly contrary to the policy of putting our money into re- sources needed for the war effort."

War Board Talent Scouts Reveal Hidden Faculty A bilities In Survey ii MIC0LEGAN NGINEERS You can ,get an OFFICIAL RING For Your Class Solid Gold Blue Spinel $25.00 plus Federal and By HALE CHAMPION The remarkable flexibility and versatility of University faculty members is strikingly illustrated in a special survey of extra-specialization wartime skills released yesterday by the War Board. Disclosing that 617 of the 1700 members of the faculty are skilled in Not all faculty members indi- cated such sober skills as these, however.. Some mentioned experi- ence in cartooning and illustrating, while a remarkable number indi- cated athletic ability. Others told of activities in such varying fields as nutrition, dramatics, kindergar- ten handling, gem polishing, agri- culture and bacteriology. A good sized tower of Babel could be filled by the languages spoken on this campus. Among them are included all modern Eur- opean languages, both Latin and Greek, and such out of the way tongues as Filipino, Persian, Ma- lay, and Turkish. There are too some very unusual talents on the faculty. There is a clergyman, a maker of orthopedic appliances, a detector of forgery- no doubt some keen-eyed English instructor-and three cryptanaly- sists-decipherers of even peculiar student bluebook codes. Lo and behold! Last, but not least! There is in our midst a juggler ! subjects not ordinarily included in the University curriculum, the sur- vey also shows that 177 of that num- ber are capable of teaching courses outside their field of specialization. Designed to determine talents and abilities outside the line of regular teaching duties, the War Board sur- vey will enable University authorities to draw upon present faculty mem- bers to fill personnel gaps without selecting outside substitutes. It will also have information as to who can perform special wartime University services not ordinarily performed at all or at least not so extensively needed. Among such serv- ices are special language work, phys- ical conditioning programs, Red Cross work, first aid and braille. The survey will also assist faculty men who wish to make an additional contribution to the war effort, the War Board pointed out. Seventeen fields of special skills or craftsmanship were represented. in the replies of the 617 faculty mem- bers who indicated such ability. Among these were 73 persons who had had Army service, but only nine who had served in the Navy. Forty faculty men indicated abil- ity in various kinds of specialized war work such as map making, marks- manship, signalling, ordnance in- spection, and related subjects. Others described special skills in counseling, personnel work, lan- guages, journalism, library work and hygienics. Already in operation is the War Board's plan to take full advantage of this information by soliciting co- operation on the part of the faculty in the physical conditioning and first aid programs.
