Li- gon of Union College, Schenectady, N. Y., will be held here for a two- week period beginning Sunday. Sponsored by the Extension Ser- vice, the Workshop is organized to Wells Heads Organization of Polish Group Committee Condemns Russian Views, Policies Prof. Carlton F. Wells, head of the University freshman English depart- ment, today announced the forma- tion of the Michigon Committee of Americans for Poland, an organiza- tion designed to "acquaint people with the facts of the current Russo- Polish question." Wells, chairman of the committee, pointed out that his group is com- posed of 12 Michigan people, largely from Detroit, Royal Oak and Kala- mazoo, who "condemned Russia's part in trying to talk down the Pol- ish issue." Polish Record "Poland-Here Is the Record," a 64-page booklet, has been published by the Committee and distributed to editors of Michigan newspapers, members of Congress, and libraries throughout the nation. Te booklet was written by Ann Su Cardwell, for 17 years prior to 1939, a resident of Poland, and has a foreword by author and foreign corespondent, William Henry Cham- berlain. No Freedom The pamphlet ridicules freedom in "liberated Poland" and asserts that in Poland today there is no freedom of either speech, press, or assembly. Economic conditions under the Lu- blin government, it declares, are worse than under the German occu- pation. * * * New Committee Is Denounced Prof. Louis C. Karpinski, of the University mathematics department, who has been identified with Polish- American movements for more than 35 years, last night denounced the newly-formed Michigan Committee of Americans for Poland as a "re- actionary group". His colleague, Prof. Carlton F. Wella, chairman of the University freshman English department, has been named chairman of the Con- mittee whose purpose is "to bring the facts of the Polish-Russian dis- pute to the people." Criticizing the Committee's recent- ly-published pamphlet, "Poland- Here Is the Record," Prof. Karpinski declared, "Most of the major points in the group's booklet have been dis- .credited by action of the British gov- etnment." "This type of pamphlet is inspired by Junker Poles who fear for the safety of their large estates," he said. "This propaganda is definitely re- actionary." "In the long run, this sort of thing will do neither Poland nor Poles throughout the world any good," Prof. Karpinski pointed out. "Prof. Wells is sincere in his beliefs, but greatly misinformed." CAMPUS EVENTS Today Charles M. Davis will speak on "Problems in the Relations of the United States and the Southwest Pacific," for the Confer- ence on the U. S. in the Post-war World at 4:10 p. in. EWT (3:10 p. m. CWT) in the Rackham Amphitheatre. Today Dwight Dumond will ad- discover how individuals acquire giv- en attitudes of character traits. Besides meetings from 9 to 12:30 p. m. EWT (8 to 1:30 p. m. CWT) daily at the Union for the members of the workshop, public lectures by various authorities will be held throughoutthe two weeks. Eachof the evening lectures will be intro- duced by Dr. Ligon. Christian Attitudes "How Christian Attitudes Are De- veloped" will be discussed by Dr. Li- gon at 4 p. m. EWT (3 p. m. CWT) Sunday at Kellogg Auditorium. Prof. Louis A. Hopkins, Director of the Summer Session, will introduce Dr. Ligon. The second lecture in the series, "Attitudes Taught in the Jewish Home," will be delivered by Rabbi Leon Fram of Temple Israel, Detroit. Civil Interests The workshop and lectures will be of particular interest to two groups, according to Dr. Edward W. Blake- man, Counselor in Religious Educa- tion. Members of the faculty who have read Dr. Ligon's books on atti- tude development, Dr.Blakeman said, would want to hear Dr. Ligon. In his books, "The Psychology of the Christian Personality" and "'heir Future Is Now," Ligon claims that he can condition a child to develop eight desireable traits. Vision, love of righteousness and truth, domin- ating purpose and forgiveness are among those eight traits. The other group which Dr. Blake- man believes will be particularly in- terested in the workshop will con- sist of church school teachers, pub- lic school teachers and parents. Military School Findings Report To Be Given The 26 Michigan superintendents and principals who conducted a tour of eastern schools of the armed forc- es will discuss their findings in con- ferences to be held tomorrow at the School of Education. The purpose of the tour, under the direction of Prof. Raleigh Schorling of the School of Education, was to study methods employed in schools maintained by the various armed services. The educators devoted a month to their study, and have only recently returned to Ann Arbor. The program for tomorrow is a lecture, "Can Civilian Education Learn from the Military Training Programs?" by Prof. Schorling with Hayward Keniston, Dean of the Col- lege of Literature, Science and the Arts, as chairman at 1:05 a. m. EWT 10:05 a. m.CWT); "What Can Farm- ville and American City Learn from the Navy's Training Program?" by Lt. Howard Batchelder, USNR with Prof. Emeritus of Education George E. Myers as chairman at 2:05 p. m. EWT (1:05 p. m. CWT); a discus- sion from 2:25 to 3 p. m. EWT (1:25 to 2 p. m. CWT) ; and roundtables on the Implications for Schools of the GI Methods and Programs at 3:05 p. m. EWT (2:05 p. m. CWT). Allies Hit Jap Fleet At Kure Superforts Blast Tokyo Bay Targets GUAM, Thursday, July 26-A)- Twenty Japanese warships, includ-i ing six aircraft carriers, five cruis- ers and three battleships, were dam- aged in Tuesday's Allied 1,200 car-; rier plane attack on Kure Naval Base, and the Inland Sea, Fleet Adm. Nim- itz announced.i A sky fleet of Superforts blasted oil targets in Tokyo Bay today-the third day of an unrelentingcampaign of destruction from sea and air that has wrecked the core of Japan's re- maining navy and spread ruin along her shores. The Japanese said some of the 1,200 U. S. and British carrier planes, after pounding 325 miles of south- ern Honshu Tuesday and Wednesday, veered far north and hit the north- ernmost island of Hokkaido while warships bombarded a possible in- vasion point south of Tokyo. Admiral Halsey declared his U. S. Third Fleet with its British ally was embarked on "the opening of the final plunge into the heart of Japan" and "If the Nips do not know they are a doomed nation they're even stupider than I think they are." The Japanese said that the Criba plain stretching for some 40 miles east of Tokyo was a likely site for the Allied landings when they came and reported that the skies over the area had been "converted into a hurly-burly thoroughfare for Super- forts, Liberators and Mustang fight- ers." Gen. George C. Kenney in Manila, predicting 5,000-plane raids on Japan, asserted that enemy communications would be so disrupted by bombings that he expected "almost a total lack of opposition on the beaches" on in- vasion day. Commy isson Meets To Study Jackson Report LANSING, July 25-(P)-The State Corrections Commission was sum- moned into emergency session to- night to act on reports of maladmin- istration at the State Prison of Southern Michigan, while police of- ficials kept a watchful eye over the big penitentiary for signs of inmate disorder. Commissioner Oscar G. Olander of the Michigan State Police said ad- ditional troopers had been ordered to the state police post at Jackson, just across the road from the en- trance to the "biggest prison in the world." Olander said he had recalled Capt. Wililam Hansen, commander of the Jackson State Police District, from the Hooper murder conspiracy trial at Battle Creek, to take personal charge of any police action necesary at the prison. Educators To In ves tiga te Army Navy Technique i American Programs Council To Study Military Training With, $150,000 Carnegie Grant What civilian schools and colleges can learn from Army and Navy wartime educational techniques will be the subject of a two year investiga- tion soon to start under the auspices of the American Council of Education, Dr. George F. Zook, president, has i announced. With a grant of $150,000 from the Carnegie Corporation and the Gen- eral Education Board to carry on this work, Dr. Alonzo G. Grace, Commis- sioner of Education of Connecticut, on leave of absence to direct the work, will establish headquarters in Wash- ington to begin the study. Assisting Dr. Grace will be a special staff of Marshal Petain Ref uses To Speak At Trial Daladier And Lebrum Testify PARIS, July 25-(iP)-Aged Mar- shal Henri Philippe Petain, his face like an image, bluntly refused at his treason trial today to answer ques- tions whether he had congratulated Adolf Hitler on the British defeat at Dieppe and asked Hitler's permission for French troops to fight alongside the Germans. "The Marshal's honor is at stake," a juror shouted across the jammed and overheated courtroom in the pal- ace of justice, and mutterings and protests from jurois and spectators met Petain's refusal. Remained Adamant But the 89-year old former chief of the Vichy state remained adamant. He said through his lawyers that he would not reply. The dramatic issue was raised dur- ing the third day of Petain's trial on charges of intelligence with Germany and of plotting the security of the French State-a day in which for- mer French Premier Douard Daladier and Albert Lebrun, last president of the Third Republic, testified against the old soldier. Petain Uninterested Much of the day Petain appeared uninterested. Once he said he hadn't heard a question. He saw Lebrun near tears as the former French pres- ident said he could hardly express his "profound distress" at the sight be- fore him of "A man, a warrior of France, who has risen so high to have fallen so low." Institute Will Hear Dr. Hahn Hunter Professor Will Talk To Group Today Traditional grammatical concepts may be called in question when Dr. E. Adelaide Hahn, head of the de-' partment of . Latin and Greek at Hunter College, New York City, ad- dresses members of the Linguistic In- stitute on the question "Were the Moods Tenses?" at their weekly luncheon conference at 1 p. m. EWT (noon CWT) today in the ABC room of the Michigan League. The con- ference will be preceded by luncheon at noon EWT (11 a. m. CWT) in the League Ballroom. Giving the last of his series of three talks on the Institute's program of in- troductory lectures on linguistic sci- ence, Prof. Franklin Edgerton will speak at 7 p. m. EWT (6 p. m. CWT) tonight in the East Lecture Room, Rackham Building, on "Analogical Creation of New Linguistic Patterns." He has announced that he will pres- ent illustrations from Middle Indic, especially from what he terms "Bud- hist hybrid Sanskrit," on which he has been conducting extensive re- searches. Chamber Music Concert leading educators from all over the country who will, from time to time, visit military and naval installations to observe the training programs in operation. Study Endorsed Both Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal have endorsed the study, and Dr. Grace is working with members of the War and Navy De- partments to map out plans for the work. Among the various subjects select- ed for study are the procedures the armed forces have used for selection, classification, and assignment of per- sonnel, tests and testing methods, rating scales, and evaluation boards. Still other studies will include the techniques of curriculum construc- tion based on an analysis of the job to be done, visual and auditory aids, equipment, training programs for leadership, and short term refresher courses. An analysis will also be made of the non-military activities, such as those of the United States Armed Forces Institute. Revolutionize Education According to Dr. Grace, "the re- sults will be of interest and value to organized education at all levels. The public and many educators believe that the military training program can revolutionize civilian educational pocedure." Dr. Grace served in the Army dur- ing World War I. In recent years he has been a special consultant on the training program of the War Depart- ment. 86th Division Drils For Japs Continues To Arrive Here From Europe By The Associated Press CAMP GRUBER, Okla., July 25- Troops of the 86th (Black Hawk) Di- vision, veterans of action in Cologne, the Ruhr pocket and Bavaria, swarm- ed into this $40,000,000 post today for retraining for Pacific combat. Personnel of the division, first to be redeployed from Europe through the United States to the Pacific, will continue to arrive for a week or ten days before reaching its full strength of 15,000. Their training will stress individual initiative and operations by small units, regarded as much more essen- tial in the Pacific than in the Euro- pean theater. In store for the youthful soldiers- their average is 23-was an eight- weeks workout including physical conditioning, prevention of tropical and insect-borne diseases, flame- throwing techniques and jungle fight- ing in general. The plan, directed by Lt. Col. Stan- ley Gortikov, Los Angeles, Calif., G-3 operations officer, was designed to toughen the troops for hardships in the Pacific area even more severe than those they experienced in Euro- pean fighting. Lessons in use of the flame-throw- er to silence pill boxes and drive Japanese from hiding places will be stepped up. DR. ALEXANDER G. RUTHVEN Outlines International Education Plan Union, Engine Council Officers To Be Elected Ruthven Tells Need For Cooperation State Department Plan For Postwar Revealed First public airing of a state de- partment requested post-war interna- tional education program was pres- ented last night by President Alex- ander G. Ruthven in a speech before the Post War Conference on the topic "Problems of Educational Coopera- tion." "It is not only likely, but desirable that the interchange of foreign stu- dents should accelerate after the war." There is no better way to establish and maintain international understanding than through a reci- procity in education," President Ruth- yen said. Pointing out that a clear cut pro- gram of exchange is necessary, he said, "if foreign students are care- lessly selected and badly oriented, the end is likely to be disillusionment if not antagonism." President Ruthven then presented his seven-point program for post-war international education. 1) Revision of present methods for selecting foreign students. He recom- mended that the Institute of Inter- Postwar Conference To Discuss Canada Today Canada will be the topic of dis- cussion in the fourth day of the Conference on the United States in the Postwar World being held this week and next in the Raeckham Amphitheatre.

Dr. Titiev, in revealing why we are averse to race mixture, explained that we have also built up the false notion that the culture of the white race is superior to the culture of other peoples. "What we term the Euro-American culture," he said, "is a large part borrowed from peoples of different' racial stocks." Advocat- ing racial cooperation, Dr. Titiev de- clared that an interchange of ideas among races has always lei to the greatest forward spurts of progress. He explained that we can promote better cooperation among races in three ways; by education which in- cludes the proper perspective in re- gard to the cultures of Asia and Af- rica, by the suppression of paid pro- fessional propagandists who argue against certain racial groups and by adopting a more honest and realistic attitude toward minority problems in our own country.
