Probably fifty per cent of his
appointments have been men of
Democratic leaning, Brown said,
nd he emphasized that he has
never looked into the party loyal-
ties of a man before making the
appointments.
F r o m the political science
standpoint, Prof. Arthur W. Brom-
age says that partisanship has no
place in city government. He fav-
Srs a council elected on an "at-
arge non-partisan" basis which
would not then represent "Dem-
~crats or Republicans or one se-
ion of the city",but rather the
city as a whole.
Concerning the history of muni-
Cipal government Prof. Bromage
#aid that the present Ann Arbor
form, that of "weak mayor, city
bouncil", is the traditional Ameri-
can type, and it wasn't until the
.urn of the century that the com-
(nission form became popular in
°ity charters. In about 1915 the
&ity manager form had its incep-
ion and since then its growth has
been "phenomenal" Prof. Brom-
age said.
Need Accurate
Study of Fluids
In order to predict the transfer
rate of heat and materials through
fluids chemical engineers need
more accurate experimental and
theoretical knowledge of fluids,
Prof. Robert R. White of the
Chemical Engineering Department
said yesterday.
Prof. White also discussed some
of the research.problems in chem-
ical engineering relating to the
use of fluidized solid cataysts,
agents which speed up chemical
reactions.

ish or journalism departments,
tre eligible to enter the Hopwood
ontest-except those who have
dlready competed three times in
;ummer contests, or who have al-
ready won a major Hopwood
award.
Eligibility
Compositions which have re-
-eived prizes in Hopwood con-
tests,dor which have been publish-
ed in a medium other than a col-
lege magazine or newspaper, are
not eligible in the contest.
Opened to students in the sum-
mer session for the first time in
1938, Hopwood contests have been
conducted for the past 15 years.
Approximately $8,500 has been
awarded to University students
each year from the investment in-
come of funds of one-fifth of Av-
ery Hopwood's estate, given to the
Regents of the University under
terms of a will drawn up in 1922.
Hopwood, prominent American
dramatist who graduated from the
University in 1905, empowered the
Regents to use the income from
his gift in perpetuity as prizes to
be awarded annually to students
in the rhetorichdepartment who
perform "the best creative work
in the fields of dramatic writing,
fiction, poetry, and the essay."
No Accumulaton
The incomecould not be al-
lowed to accumulate from year
to year, Hopwood stipulated, add-
ing that it was "especially desired
that the students competing for
the prizes shall not be confined t
academic subjects, but shall be
allowed the widest possible lati-
tude ."
In 1930, when the rhetoric and
English departments were fused,
the requirement restricting stu-
dents to the former was changed
in fact to students enrolled in the
Department of English Language
and Literature. Later, journalism
students were also permitted to
compete.
Awards in the 1946 summer ses-
sion contest were as follows: dra-
ma: Robert G. True, $75; Mary V.
Echols, $50; fiction: Laurence E.
Mascott, $75; Richard Flewell,
$50; Barbara Carter, $50; and poe-
try: S i s t e r Mary Edwardine
O'Connor, $75; Keith Cox, $50.
Judges, selected from the staff of
the University, are announced aft-
er the contest closes. Further in-
formation concerning the contest
may be obtained from Prof. R. W.
Cowden, Director of the Hopwood
Awards, 3227 Angell Hall.

Stressing the need for increased
use of guidance techniques, and,
at the same time, warning against
an overzealous faith in test find-
ings, leaders in the field of human
adjustments concluded their na-
tional conference on adjustment
measurement last night at Rack-
ham Building.
The conference, comprising six
sessions in two days, was spon-
sored by the University's Insti-
tute for Human Adjustment and
the Bureau of Psychological Serv-
ices. It brought to Ann Arbor
educators, psychologists and tech-
nicians from many parts of the
country.
Aims At Training
Dr. Jacob S. Orleans of the Col-
lege of the City of New York, look-
ing at the guidance program of
the future, declared that this pro-
gram will aim at training class-
room teachers in guidance meth-
ods.
"I can think of no group," he
added, "who are in a more stra-
tegic position to influence the ed-
ucational program or to make
dramatically clear the needfor
fundamental changes."
Danger signs were posted by
Prof. Harry N. Rivlin of Queens
College, New York, who warned
a g a i n s t emphasizing modern
achievement tests to the point
where the teacher regards the stu-
dent as merely "a collection of test
scores."~
Intelligence, Scholastic Tests 1
Prof. Rivlin called attention to
the many new techniques of test-
ing and the advent of intelligence
tests, scholastic achievement tests
and emotional and personality
tests.
For all of these to be adminis-
tered to advantage in the schools,
it is frequently necessary to have
them administered by specialists,
he pointed out.

By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
AP Foreign Affairs Analyst
It begins to look as though the
Paris Conference on European
Economic Stability will take on
many of the aspects of the recent
Moscow Conference regarding
Germany.
If Russia's attitude toward in-
clusion of Germany in a contin-
ent-wide economy hinges, as sug-
gested, on what it means to her
reparations claims, then the for-
eign ministers will find themselves
back on a familiar merry-go-
round.
It can be taken as a matter o,
course that the United States is
not going to put while Russia
takes. There's been plenty of that
already, resulting from Russia's
unilateral interpretation of the
Potsdam agreement.
You can also safely assume that
the U.S. Ambassador to London,
Lewis W. Douglas, was not ex-
pressing a mere personal opinion
when he said that "economic re-
construction must rest upon con-
fidence in the stability of political
institutions," and that it is "ur-
gent that unilateral political acts
committeed either by states or
groups within states which dis-
turb confidence, encourage fear
- ---- ----

and foster economic disintegra-
tion, must come to an end."
All of this makes it even clear-
er than heretofore that, in order
to participate in any program
which will prove acceptable to the
United States, Russia would have
to make fundamental changes in
her general policies and practices.
Paul Martin
Donates Award
Establishment of the Paul J.

Dr. Frank E. Dobbins, assistant

Funds for the scholarship, were
donated by Martin, Canadian
minister of national health and
welfare.
The scholarship, valued at $250,
will be assigned "on a basis of
need and superior scholastic abil-
ity," Dr. Robbins said.
