Soldier Loses
Tough Battle
FORT WORTH, Tex., Aug. 3-tom)
-Corp. James E. Newman, 25, who
was suffering from tuberculosis of
the throat, lungs and stomach, died
today at his home here at 5:20 p. m.
(CWT).
For Newman it was the end of a
tough fight for life that started when
the Japs captured him at Bataan.
He struggled through the March of
Death--he didn't remember the last
five hours of it.
He got through three years of
Japanese imprisonment; in a prison
camp in the Philippines he endured
hopeless starvation and flesh melted
,from his body.
.rDoctors at Army hospitals in New
Guinea and in New Mexico shook
their heads over him. They told him
his case was hopeless. But Newman
wouldn't give up. He wanted to go
home to Fort Worth, he said.

the sponsors bring nationally known
educators in the fields of guidance,
labor relations, social reform and
kindred *subjects to lecture.

Little Attention
Formerly Given
Voice Diseases
"Although voic e disorders are
among the most common diseases,
they have received relatively little
attention until very recently," Prof.
Charles R. Strother, guest lecturer
for the speech department, said in
an interview yesterday.
According to Prof. Strother, there
are few people in the field of treat-
ment of voice disorders with scien-
tific background, and there are great
opportunities for people with this
training.
Prcf. Strother, who is Associate
Professor of Speech and Psychology
and director of the Psychological
Clinic at Iowa State University, spoke
on the differentiation of hysterical
and organic voice disorders in a lec-
ture yesterday.
He will conduct a roundtable dis-
cussion on diagnostic problems of
voice disorders with members of the
Speech 323 seminar at 8:30 a. m.
EWT (7:30 a. m. CWT) today at
the speech clinic,

facture gliders for the Army Air
Forces would be cancelled on Aug. 20.
The cancellation willdaffect some
300 employes here and an additional

The company said it has requested
the AAF to delay the cancellation
order until Oct. 1 when civilian pro-
duction of refrigerators and ranges

ARCH OF TRIUMPH:
Three-TimingSoldier Is in GIs Again

those arches are just as horizontal
as ever.
The drawling North Carolina farm
boy gave this chronology today of
his experience with Army camps,
separation centers and draft boards:
Back in 1939 and fresh from a
Civilian Conservation Corps camp
(remember them?) he enlisted at
the age of 17, with his mother's
permission.
Early in 1940, the doctors decided
Army shoes and Pvt. Norris' feet
just couldn't get along. So out he;
went, on a medical discharge.
Ex-Private Norris then went to
work in Fayetteville, N. C., got mar-
ried and settled down to civilian life.
Then in August, 1942, his draft board
tapped him, despite his protests to
the woman at the draft board.. She
said the medics, could decide.
They did, a year and ten days
later, when Pvt. Norris became Mr.
Norris again.
Then he started getting word from
his Fayetteville draft board again---
"They said I was a job ijumper. I
wasn't. I just had to look around
for suitable work. But I got tired
of their jabber. I didn't want them
to put me down for that work-or-
fight thing. So I volunteered."

Talk on Arctic
"The Russian Arctic" is the topic
of a talk to be given by Dr. George
Kiss of the geography department
before a meeting of Russky Kruzhok
at 8 p. m. EWT (7 p. m. CWT) Mon-
day at the International Center.
Dr. Kiss will discuss the general
problem of navigation on, the sea
lane across the Arctic from Europe
to the Far East, and the imporatnce
of Northern Siberia to air travel.
Following the talk, a social hour
will be held. All interested are cor-
dially invited to attend.

he isn't too happy about that -he

Employment,
Real Estate Is
Speech 1Topic
"The employer's interest in segre-
gation is only a casual one; he is not
as likely to discriminate as he, is to
exploit racial prejudice in order to
weaken labor for his own purposes,"
said Prof. Amos H. Hawley of the
sociology department in a recent
interview.
Prof. Hawley will address a meet-
ing of the Inter-Racial Association
at 7:30 p. m. EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT)
Monday at the Union, speaking on
the subject "Real Estate and Em-
ployment."
"A practical way to solve the prob-
lem of racial discrimination would
be through redistribution from seg-
regated racial areas. Non-segrega-
tion is equivalent to assimilation.
There have been no minority groups
which have not been segregated
groups. It is the function of resi-
dential segregation to maintain so-
cial economic inferiority," he de-
clared.
Prof. Hawley outlined how dis-
crimination can be measured by the
degree to which minority groups have
been segregated. He will bring these
facts out in his Monday speech.
Prof. Hawley's lecture is the fifth
in the current IRA series, "Tech-
niques For Eliminating Racial Dis-
crimination In Your Community."
Pollen Count Low
LANSING, Aug. 3 -(I)- Little
ragweed pollen has been found in
the air so far this summer by the 46
pollen coleting stations in Michi-
gan, the State Health Department
reported today. Lansing was the
highest in the state Thursday with
a count of 15, while most other sta-
tions did not record any pollen.

Students of American Indian lan-I
guages have long had to struggle
with the problem of interpreting de-
scriptions of these tongues prepared
by scholars who started with pre-
conceptions based on a study of
Latin grammar, but yesterday they
turned the tables when members of
Dr. C. F. Voegelin's class in Struc-
tural Types of American Indian
Languages set about analyzing Latin
by methods which Dr. Voegelin has'
taught them.

Orchestra Will

Orchestra will present a concert at
8:30 p. m. EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT)
Tuesday in the Pattengill Auditor-
ium of Ann Arbor High School.

tion of Gilbert Ross of the School of
Music.

literature of the 17th and 18th cen-
turies, and will include both well-
known and seldom-heard works.

English Princess Gains
Promotion in British ATS
LONDON, Aug. 3 -(I)- Princess
Elizabeth, who recently completed
her non-commissioned officer's
course in the Auxiliary Territorial
Services, has been promoted from
second subaltern to junior comman-
der, it was announced today. The
ATS is the British equivalent to the
American WAC.

turies ago, came upon the Indian
language students wihen they attend-
ed a Linguistic Institute Conference
at which Dr. Robert A. Hall, Jr., a
member of the Institute faculty, pre-
sented a paper on "Classical Latin
Noun Inflection." They invited Dr.
Hall, who was attempting to state
the facts of Latin. declension as con-
cisely as possible, to analyze Latin
declension before their class, using
only methods which students of
American languages would use, the
class themselves judging when he
transgressed this rule.
Since time machines exist only in
comic strips, no ancient Roman wasl
available as an informant, and thel
students drafted the services of Dr
Adelaide Hahn, head of the classics~
department at Hunter College and
a visitor at the Institute this sum-
mer, to pronounce Latin as classic-
ists are convinced it should be pro-
nounced.
Partial Analysis Made
In one class period only a partial
analysis could be made, but members
of the class and visitors were given
a practical demonstration showing
that the methods developed by mod-
ern students of American Indian
tongues can be applied to the study
of any language.
