Davis Asks Petrillo
To Revoke Union
Music Ultimatum
WASHINGTON, July 28.-(A)-El-
mer Davis, war information director,
today urged James C. Petrillo, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Musicians, to withdraw an "ultima-
tum" prohibiting union members
from making phonograph records,
transcriptions and other musical re-
cordings after August 1.
Declaring that Petrillo himself had
described music as "one of the finest
media for maintaining high public
morale," Davis wrote the union head
that the ban, might force several
hundred small independent radio
stations out of business.
This, said the OWI chief, would,
"seriously interfere with the com-
munication, of war information and
messages vital to the public security."
"The elimination of records for
home use, for use in restaurants, can-
teens and sods, parlors where mem-
bers of the armed forces go for much
of their recreation, and for use in
factories where war workers use juke
boxes for organized relaxation, can
scarcely fail to have a iegative ef-
sect on morale," Davis declared.

Service Falls
In_1941 - 421
University of Michigan students
seemed to be more healthy during
the 1941-42 session than during the
preceding school year, it was revealed
by statistical comparisons released
yesterday by Dr. W. E. Forsythe, Di-
rector of the Health Service.
Not only was there a decrease in
the number of non-infirmary hospi-
talized patients and in the number
of days spent by patients in the in-
firmary, but there were over 16,000
fewer dispensary calls in the 1941-42
sessionl. Refractions also showed a
marked decrease of nearly 1,000, but
only 50 fewer dental patients were
handled.
Contagious diseases, pneumonia and
visits to the dermatologists showed
the greatest increases. Measles cases
alone jumped from 45 in the 1940-
41 term to 890 in the 1941-42. Four-
teen times as many cases were re-
corded for other contagious diseases,
Recently returned from various
University educational stations at
widely-separated points throughout
the state, Dr. Louis A. Hopkins, Sum-
mer Session director, reports himself
well pleased with the work being
done at all such "out-stations."
During his five-day journey, Dr.
Hopkins, accompanied by Dean Sam-
uel T. Dana of the forestry school,
visited most of the Upper Peninsula
and its scenic points of interest.
After beginning the trip with a
visit to the forestry station west of
Iron River where they inspected work
on the Ottawa forest preserve done
by University students, they visited
in turn a graduate extension branch
at Northern State Teachers College
and Sugar Island, another preserve
Hopkins Pleased With Outstate Posts
under the control of the University.
On Sugar Island they paid their
respects to Michigan's famed ex-
Governor Chase S. Osborn, and ob-
served logging operations in progress
under the direction of Prof. W. F.
Ramsdell.
Continuing the weekend inspec-
tion, Dr. Hopkins visited the Univer-
s*ty Biological Station, considered
one of the largest and finest in the
United States, and Camp Inter-
lochen, about which so great a con-
troversy has recently raged. He re-
ported the music camp in high spir-
its about the whole affair.
Dean Dana and Dr. Hopkins wound
up their trip with a visit to the
Speech Correction Camp at North-
port,
