THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY, JUL I -. - Dr. Bush Asks Health Science Research Office Report Submitted at Roosevelt's Request By The Associated Press Washington, July 18-Creation by Congress of a powerful national scientific research agency designed to accelerate the war against disease, strengthen national security and help create new industries was pro- posed today. The proposal was made in a 184- page report to the White House by Dr. Vannevar Bush, director of the Office of Scientific Research and De- velopment, who helped marshal the nation's'civilian scientists for war re- search. Requested by Roosevelt Bush's report, prepared at the re- quest last November of the late Pres- ident Roosevelt, recommended: 1. That the foundation be formed to give new impetus to all research; financially support basic research by non-profit organizations, such as universities and medical schools; promote long-range studies on mili- tary matters; and encourage scien- tific talent in American youth by offering about 25,000 scholarships and fellowships. 2. That it consist of nine members to be selected by the President of the United States and be responsible to him; and that they serve for four years each, and without compensa- tion. Five Divisions 3. That the foundation have these five divisions: medical, research, nat- ural sciences, national defense, scien- tific personnel and education, and publications and scientific collabor-, ation with other nations. He gave these specific reasons for creation of the agency: In the battle against disease "we are far from the goal." Despite the increase in. life expectancy in the last four decades from 49 to 65 years, the annual deaths from "one or two diseases far exceed -the total number of American lives lost in battle dur- ing this war." National Security Involved In this war it has become clear be- yond all doubt that scientific re- search is absolutely essential to na- tional security. Encouragement of science talent is necessary because of a "serious' deficit in trained scientific person- nel brought about by the war. Scientific research is needed to create the new products and new in- dustries required to insure full em- ployment after the war. *********************** HIGHLIGHTS ON CAMPUS PERCY JONES TRIPS: Faculty Members, A-n Arbor Volunteer Group Instruct Vets Keniston To Speak at Linguistic Conference SRA Coffee Hour . . .

A question deans frequently hear from students, "Why Learn a For- eign Language?" will be asked again today at the weekly luncheon confer- ence of the Linguistic Institute, but Goetze Speaks About Ugaritie A book could have been a deadly weapon in the Near East 3000 years ago, members of the Linguistic In- stitute were told last night when Prof. Albrecht Goetze of Yale Uni- versity addressed them at the second of the Institute's series of special lectures. A document surviving from that period relates that a king was killed by attendants who assaulted him with clay tablets, the books of the time, some of which were larger than a volume of the Encyclopedia Brit- tanica. Prof. Goetze's subject was the lin- guistic position of Ugaritic, an an- cient Semitic language. Scholars did not even know that it had once ex- isted until excavations at Ras Sham- rah in northern Syria, carried on in 1929-39, unearthed the Ugaritic king's royal library of clay tablets, The earliest tablets date from about 1500 B. C., four hundred years be- fore the earliest records in Hebrew, the language in which the Old Tes- tament was written. Dearborn 'Gag Law' Repealed Dearborn, Mich., July 18-(AP)-- With Dearborn's "gag law" unani- mously repealed by the City Council. Tuesday night, Mayor Orville L. Hubbard can at least temporarily chat on the streets with constitu- ents, write them letters, or continue in other ways to do what he has been doing, without fear of arrest. However, Council President Nor- man F. Edwards, who had sponsored the ordinance, planned today to in- troduce a new bill couched in lan- guage "so simple that even the may- or can understand it." According to the now defunct law, te mayor' was prevented from car=- rying on public relations in behalf of the city without the aproval of a Public Relations Bureau. this time it will be the dean and not the student who raises the question. The speaker will be Dr. Hayward Keniston, dean of the College of Lit- erature, Science, and the Arts. The conference will be held at 1 p. m. EWT (noon CWT) in the A B C room of the Michigan League, follow- ing luncheon at noon EWT (11 a. m. CWT) in the League ballroom. Dean Keniston will discuss and evaluate critically the various argu- ments offered by advocates of foreign language study, but the language professors are under no apprehension that he will declare that none of the arguments are good ones, since the dean himself is a language teacher, who has taught Romance languages at Harvard, Cornell, Chicago, and Michigan, and was, until his elevation to the deanship early this year, chairman of the Romance languages department here. Dean Keniston is the author of numerous publications, several of which are books designed to aid auth- ors of textbooks and language teach- ers in choosing words, idioms, and constructions of greatest frequency for elementary instruction. He has also edited and. translated various Spanish texts. This evening the linguists--assum- ing that the dean has left them con- vinced that the study of languages has its good points-will reconvene at 7:30- p. m. EWT (6:30 p. m. CWT) in the Rackham Amphitheatre to hear Dr. Franklin Edgerton, profes- sor of Sanskrit in the Institute and Salisbury Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology at Yale Uni- versity, speak on "The Relationship of Languages."

Tin is needed to make pro- tective containers for the blood plasma, medicines, and food our fighting men de- pend on. And 90% of America's regular source of tin supply is still in Jap hands! "TIN SOLDIER?" Yes, sir! Remember,, .TIN is a "precious metal" that goes to war in hundreds of ways. TIN helps make protective containers for blood plasma, medi- ,cines, foods. TIN goes into every field telephone and radio, into every cannon, machine gun, and hand gre- nade. Practically everything that rnll. flies. fights. or that feeds.
