easily "listenable." His music es-
tablishes jazz rhythm, but concen-
trates on section work by the saxes.
After being with Glenn Miller,
McIntyre started out on his own only
six months ago. Soon after, he was
signed up for a short engagement at
the Glen Island Casino, the "cradle
of name bands." His stay there was
so successful that before long the
band was being hailed as the "band
with a real future."
This accomplishment is unique in
that without any particular back-
ground or experience and without
depending on novelties in any form,
the band has come up like a sky-
rocket through the toughest compe-
tition the band world has to offer.
Proceeds from the ticket sale will
go to the Bomber Scholarship, Rus-
sian War Relief and United China
Relief. Distribution of the proceeds
among the three groups will be de-
cided upon by the central committee.
Representatives of the different
funds will be included on the central
committee, besides members of the
following organizations: Michigan
League, Michigan Union, Interfra-
ternity Council, Student Senate, Al-
pha Phi Omega and The Daily.
According to Dean Byr F. Bacher,
rooms will be available for out-of-
town women who attend the dance,
and - information concerning them
may be obtained at the Office of the
Dean of Women.
Central committee members will
personally canvass campus tomor-
row in order to find the one popular
song that the student body would
like most to hear on the night of
Summer Prom. Consequently, vote
for your favorite piece when you are
approached tomorrow and maybe it
will be the tune that will be featured
by Hall McIntyre Aug. 21.
Fugitive, At Large
Since World War I,
FinallyCaptured
GALVESTON, Tex., Aug. 11.-(P)
-A man identified by police as Oscar
Raymond Olin, 59, alias Bert Roy
Clayburn Larson, fugitive from a
Michigan prison, was arrested here
today.
Police said he admitted that he
fled from Southern Michigan prison
April 29, 1918, while serving a 20 to
40 year sentence.
He told officers he was on the
Wichita Falls, Tex., police force for
three years and once was employed
as a special police officer at Galves-
ton wharves.
Authorities said routine fingerprint
checks by the Coast Guard when
Olin applied for employment at a
dry dock here led to his arrest after
nearly a quarter of ' a century of
freedom. The prints were sent to
Washington, and the comparison
with those of the Michigan fugitive
was made there.
Hambletonian
Is RunToday
GOSHEN, N. Y., Aug. 11.-(IP)-
The horse and buggy boys made their
annual pilgrimage to this country
village today to decide trotting's
richest prize-the $40,000 Hamble-
tonian.
Although the village was faced
with its usual housing and feeding
problems, gas and tire rationing cur-
tailed travel from the metropolitan
area some 75 miles away. As a result,
not more than 10,000 or 12,000 fans
are expected to see the 11 three-
year-olds match strides over Bill
Cane's triangular track.
Since the Kentucky Derby of trot-
ting was first raced at this Orange
County capital in 1930, the crowds
have been variously estimated from
20,000-to 40,000. First of the two out-
of-three one-mile heats tomorrow
will start at 3 p.m., with the second
scheduled for 3:45 and the third, if
necessary, 45 minutes later.

War Spending
'At New High,
O WIReports
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-()---
War spendings by the United States
reached a rate of $1,790 a second in
July.
The Office of War Information
reported today that disbursements
by the Treasury and expenditures
by the Reconstruction Finance Cor-
poration and its subsidiaries for war
purposes totaled $4,794,000,000, com-
pared with the previous record of
$4,123,000,000 in June.
This was at the rate of $154,645,161
a day for July's 31 days, or $6,443,54
an hour and $107,392 a minute.
Starting with $200,000,000 in July,
1940, war expenditures have in-
creased almost every month. By De-
cember, 1940, they had reached
$508,000,000 and by July, 1941, had
passed $1,000,000,000.
War spending neared the $2,000,-
000,000 mark in December, 1941, but
did not actually pass -it until Janu-
ary, 1942, when they totaled $2,230,-
000,000. By March expenditures had
passed $3,000,000,000, while June
showed more than $4,000,000,000.

sible to report the following inci-
dents in the Aleutian Islands:.
"2. On July 22 Army bombers
dropped bombs through the fog in

Ehrmann Says Indian Conflict
Not Quesion Of Independence
Work Week
Of Workers
Is Increased
Report Shows American
LabI~orer Work sHour
More In Week Period
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1l.--(1)-
Under the demands of war produc-
tion, the average work week of Amer-
ican workers increased by one hour,
from 45.7 to 46.7, during the year
ended in June, the Works Progress
Administration reported today.
The long hours of farmers and
farm employes accounted for the
greater part of the average rise. The
WPA found that the ruralist's work
week had gone up 1.8 hours-from 55.4
to 57.2, while the increase was eight-
tenths of an hour for non-agricul-
tural workers.
Nearly 44,000,000 of the 53,000,000
employed persons in June were work-
ing 40 hours or more a week, accord-
ing to the survey.
"The fact that over one-sixth of all
employed persons in June, 1942,
worked less than 40 hours a week
suggests a considerable degree of un-
used capacity in the labor force now
employed," said WPA Commissioner
Philip 'B. Fleming. "It must be re-
membered, however, that in many
jobs outside the war lines only part-
time workers are needed, and many
workers have domestic or other re-
sponsibilities that would keep them
out of the labor market entirely if
they could not find part-time jobs."
The WPA reported that between
June, 1941, and this June,* employ-
ment increased by 3,100,000 persons.
The number of workers employed 40
hours or more a week rose by 3,600,-
000 and the number of persons work-
ing less than 40 hours a week de-
clined by 500,000.
Fleming said the increase in em-
ployment accounted for three-
fourths of the total increase in man-
hours of work.
Acting as senior medical officer
for Pan American Africa Airways.
Inc.. Dr. Lowell T. Coggeshall, pro-
fessor of epidemiology. personally
conducted a fight against malaria
and dysentery along a 4,300-mile
plane ferrying route from Africa to
the Middle East.
Under Dr. Coggeshall's direction of
the Army Ferrying Command medi-
cal corps and Pan American's medi-
cal force, cases of malaria among
personnel working along. the M'ute
were reduced from 40 percent to one
percent. Dysentery was reduced in
the same manner.
Dr. Coggeshall was called in last
February to combat the tropical dis-
eases hampering operations along the
route over which planes from the
United States are ferried to the Mid-
dle East by way of Brazil. He worked
for over three months against ma-
laria and dysentery as well as Afri-
can sleeping sicknesses and numer-
ous parasitic skin infections.
For over three months Dr. Cog-
geshall remained in Africa, insti-
tuting necessary precautions, con-
structing hospitals and staffing them.
From Ann Arbor, he now directs the
work along the route, dispatching
personnel, drugs and food for his
medical staff by clipper plane.

"The real question in India today
is not whether that country will get
dominion status, or even complete
independence, but who will rule after
the war," asserted Prof. Howard M.
Ehrmann of the history department
yesterday.
Pointing out in the last summer
University lecture that England had
already promised union and domin-
ion status for India after the war,
Professor Ehrmann called the pres-
ent conflict "a shrewd game of poli-
tics being played by the All-India
Congress party."
"The party knows perfectly well
that they can count on Great Brit-
ain to defend India no matter what
happens, and are using the war to
try and gain control of the country.
The members intend to keep that
control, and to see to it that no
other government, such as a federal
one which would protect the rights
of the Moslem and other Indian mi-
norities, takes their place."
Most of the arguing now, Professor
Ehrmann asserted, is about the ques-
tion of Indian union and dominion
status, and about who is to be in the
position of greatest control of the
war effort there.
"The Indians hope to put restric-
tive and crippling powers upon the
commander-in-chief of the armies
there, who serves as War Minister
of the Executive Council of the Vice-
roy. These powers they hope to turn
over to a member of their own na-
tionality, the Defense Minister."
He said that there has also been

provinces and native states in India,
Great Britain wishing that they be
given the right to choose either ac-
cession or non-accession to the new
India, and the party demanding that
they be included in the proposed
Union.'
"The importance of the Indian
question is enhanced by the Russian
successes in the Caucasus. Although
the English have almost a million
troops in the Middle East, it is
doubtful that they could protect In-
dia in the face of combined drives on
Egypt and on India by Japan, if
those forces have to be weakened to
help stop the German drive on the
Middle East."
