THE- MICHIGA: - DAILY New Education' Experiment Will Be Tested Soon Romford Plan Brings, Leaders Into School NEW YORK, July 27-(P)-A new educational experiment will be tested' at Romford School, Washington,j Conn., in September. Called the Rom- ford Plan, the chief new element is a project to bring celebrated leaders in the professions, arts, and politics to live for a period each year at the school. Six-foot, drawling, Illnois-born William Ziff, author of "The Coming Battle of Germany," "Two Worlds" (just out), long had pondered how to convince a boy that school was not his enemy. Talking to his son, home from a military school, Ziff was con- vinced more than ever that the pre- sent system of education is made- quate. "If school is only a memory test to them," he said, they will be prey to neurotic appeals and advocates of extremes." Ziff got the chance for practical application of his notions only re- cently. The Romford School, a small private institution which had been closed by the war asked him to be a trustee. He consented, provided the school wouldi try out his plan to in- duce leaders in the professions, poli- tics, arts, to visit the school for two weeks each 'during the year. These' men whoreceiveynopay, will live with the boys, not under a lec- ture schedule, but holding informal dinner table talks. They will go with the boys to the athletic fields and play games with them, sit under the apple trees in spring and philoso- phize with them. Boys-from 13 to 18-will have the privilege of challenging the minds of such men as: Edward R. Stettinius, Jr.; Dr. Quo Tai-Chi, Chinese dele- gate to the United Nations Security Council; Dar. Vannevar Bush, direc- or of the Office of ScientificRe- earch and Development. Movement Towards Union Cited As Protestant Trend of the Future RESCUED FROM TRESTLE-William W. Taylor, 66, of Chicago, is exhausted after his rescue from a trestle where he clung to a railroad tie with one arm for 90 minutes while two freight trains roared above him near Cleveland, 'Ohio, Taylor was forced to cling to the tie when a train overtook him as he started across the bridge. COME ON, THE WATER'S FINE! Gallup Explains History of Bathing Beach, By ELINOR MOXNESS The merger in this country of the Protestant Episcopal and Presbyter- ian churches, which seemed a step closer with the recent issuance of a document embodying the proposed basis of union of the two, is a part of a general movement which seems to mark a trend toward larger ad- ministrative units in Protestantism, Dr. Edward W. Blakeman said in a recent interview. Dr. Blakeman, University Counsel- or in Religious Education, explained that this present movement of the two groups has been going on for about four years. Slowness Accounted For Both Episcopalians and Presbyter- ians have founded and endowed uni- versities and colleges in many states. They own extensive foreign mission- ary properties and are responsible for the professional life of doctors, teachers and missionaries in 30 or 40 countries. The welfare of these institutions must, he said, be con- served, and this accounts in a meas- ure for the slowness with which a church union can be developed. The history of each of these church bodies roots in British history. Their creeds, as well as their forms of wor- ship, ordination of clergymen, de- velopment of methods of religious education and intellectual growth have developed simultaneously in America. Neither has influenced the other much to date, he said.1 Church Differences Doctrinally, Dr. Blakeman pointed out, the two are very close together, but whereas the Episcopalians have developed a highly centralized ad- ministration wherein every child is confirmed by a Bishop and every clergyman receives his appointment from a Bishop, the history of the Presbyterian bodies has differed somewhat. The Presbyter, who was originally the same as a Bishop, has come to mean a body of leaders, not an individual, and therefore the Presbyterian. pastor with his Ses- sion endorsed by the Presbytery re- ceive the members and instruct the children. The report just drawn up would attempt to solve this difficulty, for it covers the subjects of doctrine, church government, worship, and property or contract rights. It pro- vides a formula for the "mutual 'Europa' Given to France CHERBOURG, France, July 27- (P-The 49,742-ton former German liner Europa was turned over to the French by a reparations commission today and was rechristened the Lib- erty. The ship will be reconditioned and then will start on the Le Havre-New York run. -ecognition of orders and the ex- tension of the authority of the clergy of both Communions," but it also guarantees that no attempt will be made to abolish diversity of worship. Long-Run Trend The trend in the last ten years has been for organic union of certain :imilar church bodies, Dr. Blakeman continued. The United Church of Canada became the pioneer when, in 1925, Methodist, Congregational and a majority of the Presbyterian churches in the Dominion united. The next conspicuous movement way the recent union in the United States of three divisions of Methodism, which took about 20 years. After that, he said, was introduced the matter of four possible unions- first, between the several Synods of Lutherans, which to date has been going on for over 10 years; second, between the Presbyterian and Pro- testant Episcopal churches, a move- ment which would unite about 4,195,- 000 Americans spiritually; third, be- tween the Congregational and Chris- tian churches, which was consum- mated in 1938; and, fourth, between the Congregational-Christian Church and the Evangelical Reformed Body. Exjresses Hope for Merger "Students of religious education," Dr. Blakeman concluded, "are very interested in the series of serious conferences looking forward to these mergers: first, because our city life demands social understanding; sec- ond, because small sections tend to fragment or break up neighborhoods; third, because whole communities need city-wide religious education; and fourth, because catholicity is essential to religion if it is to serve whole communities democratically. "I believe the proposed union be- tween the Protestant Episcopal and Presbyterian churches will eventual- ly, though not perhaps for some time, take place," he said. Rocket Power Now Adapted For Sea Use SHARON, Pa., July 27-(P)-Rock- et power, which scientists harnessed to propel planes and projectiles through the air, has now been adapt- ed for use under the seas, Westing- house Electric Corp. announced to- day with approval of the U.S. Army Air Forces. new aerial torpedo--called the hydro-bomb -uses the thrust of burning, expanding gases to propel itself through water instead of air, but can stand the shock of being dropped 600 feet or more from a plane gcing 300 miles per hour. The weapon, which the company claims is the simplest and least ex- pensive to manufacture of all aerial torpedoes, was designed and built for the air forces and was nearly ready for combat use when Japan surrendered. Tests were staged at Lake Pyma- tuning, 20 miles north of this western Pennsylvania community. Although the Army required only that the hydro-bombs stand a 600-foot drop from a fast-moving plane into water without damage, Westinghouse said one bomb not set for detonation, fell from a plane 2,000 feet over the ocean and was recovered undamaged.

The varied history of the Munici- pal bathing beach, which was opened to swimmers in the latter part of June, was told yesterday by Eli Gal- lup of the city park department. The Edison Company, disturbed at the number of people who insisted on swimming in its danger Argo race, emptied truckloads of sand just above the Argo dam and created a munici-' pal bathing beach in 1915, to prevent people from swimming there, t allup said. The Municipal Beach was a popul- ar swimming place for a time, he de- clared, until people started complain- ing that Ann Arbor needed a new bathhouse. Bathhouse Proposed In the 1930's the city proposed to build the bathhouse, and drew up the plans. The building would have been concrete and steel and would have cost about $30,000. The sum Was to have been taken from the Ann Arbor general fund, but DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 4) Students in Business Education: There will be a social meeting of stu- dents in Business Education Monday evening, July 29, at 7:30 p.m. in the East Lecture Room, Rackham Build,. ing.

At the four- thirty meeting in Lane Hall Mr. James Barnes, a prominent Detroit businessman, will be the speaker. instead the widening of Main Street was undertaken. This cost of about $20,000 was paid for out of the gen- eral fund, and the financing of the municipal bathhouse was bonded. Interest on Bonds Interest and principal were to be paid back to bond holders from the bathhousereceipts, but the building never went through, Gallup said. "A laundry on the Huron River near Dexter washed polishing cloths for war industry, and the laundry's sewage system polluted the river," he explained.I Citizens of Ann Arbor could not protest against Dexter's essential war industry, so Municipal Beach had to be closed for a period of three years. During this time, the beach was opened for business and then periodi- cally closed. This political lever put pressure on Dexter, Gallup declared. Water Good Now "Now, however, the Dexter indus- tries have secured a more efficient disposal system and the river water tests well, and will continue to be good." The river, according to city health engineers, has a better natural puri- fication system than most of the closed lakes near Ann Arbor where people swim, Gallup stated. Five or six dams along the river be- tween Ann Arbor and Dexter speed up circulation of the water. In be- tween these dams are stretches of calm water in which impurities can settle, and in which natural anti- bacterial agents, like the sun, can work. During rainy seasons, the turbidity of the river is tested by city health authorities who hold a white plate containing a small black d4 several feet under the water. If the dot is visible, the water is less turbid and this turbidity bears a relation to the purity of the water.
