WEDNESDAY, SULY 22, 43 THE MICHIGANAI LYPGETR PAGE TRMEE Teachers Meet For Summer I Jap Bombs That Missed Their Mark Forums Here Dean Edmonson's Initial Talk Warns Of War Educational Conditions Though faced with "some very discouraging conditions," American schools will have to learn to gear themselves to the war effort, de- clared Dean J. B. Edmonson of the education school in the opening ad- dress of the thirteenth annual Sum- mer Education Conference Monday in the University High School audi- torium. He warned members of the con- ference that schools face some very discouraging prospects in the war period. Many teachers may feel that their work is relatively unimportant, and this belief may impair the effi- ciency of instruction. Wartime also may bring severe criticism from those who desire to impose their viewpoints on teachers, he said. Teacher Shortage Dean Edmonson predicted that some rural schools may have to close because of teacher shortages and that instruction in physical education, in- dustrial arts and sciences may be restricted in some schools because of the withdrawal of men teachers to enter the armed forces or to ac- cept employment in industry. But, he declared, there is a bright side to the picture, and he urged school administrators and teachers to seek to capitalize on the possible opportunities that will be available during the coming year. He said that teachers will have increased op- portunities to serve defense needs of major importance, including the care and protection of children and the providing of improved instructional programs in civic education.

By The Associated Press LANSING, July 21-Hinting at a lack of public interest in matters political during war times, the slim- mest list of aspirats for state and national offices to face Michigan voters in many years was drawn to- day as the deadline fell for the filing of nominating petitions. At the top of the tickets, the Re- publican and Democratic candidates for Governor found themselves un- opposed within their own ranks. Neither Governor Van Wagoner, the Democrat, nor Secretary of State GM Tank Plant Strike Draws U.S. Mediator FLINT, Mich., July 21-(AP)-Mov- ing swiftly to again start the flow of war implements from the General Motors Corporation Grand Blanc Tank Plant, the War Labor Board dispatched a mediator here, today, while in Lansing, Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner termed the delay in production "a crime." The strike, lacking authorization from any source because there is no recognized union at the plant, was called July 15 after the management had laid off 50 men who left their jobs to smoke. There was a "no smoking" rule at the plant. Governor Van Wagoner, in his statement, said: "The loss of production may have cost some lives of relatives of some- one who should have been working in that plant. "It is a crime that any munitions plant should be down even for an hour, let alone seven days. Tilford Dudley, principal media- tion officer on the staff of the War Labor Board, was ordered onto the case. In telegrams to union and com- pany officials, the Labor Board de- clared the strike had seriously in- terfered with vital war production and that the War Labor Board was prepared to finally determine the is- sues in controversy.
