HiE MICIGAN DiAILY SUNDA CUNEIFO JM KEY: U' To Sponsor Archeological Expedition to Iran in October COLLEGE ROUNDUP: MSC Policeeini Seek Fruit Thieves A 2,400 year old Persian inscrip- tion which has furnished the key to the translation of all cuneiform writing will be copied this October for the first time by an archaeo- logical expedition to Iran spon- sored by the University and the American Schools of Oriental Re- search. The expedition will be headed by George G. Cameron, who holds the annual professorship of Bagh- dad for 1948 under the American Schools of Oriental Research. Rocky Walls Dr. Cameron said the inscrip- Five Dead in State Accidents By The Associated Press Five persons already were dead in traffic and drowning accidents today (Sat.) as Michigan moved through another summer weekend. Three children were trapped and drowned in the back seat of the family car early Saturday when it broke through a bridge rail and plunged into 12 feet of water in the St. Mary's River at Sault Ste. Marie. They were Gary Halfaday, 6, and, his sisters, Carolyn, 8, and Frances, 2, of Munising, Mich.- Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Garrett Halfaday, escaped after the car went off a bridge bn- necting Sault Ste. Marie with nearby Sugar Loaf Island. Near West Branch, Hurleyj Lockard of Bowling Green, O., drowned Friday night when his boat turned over in East Lake. tions located on the rocky walls of Mount Behistun in Iran have been examined twice previously, but these copies are now regarded as inadequate and doubtful passages will be re-translated. The expedition also will examine four additional columns of inscrip- tions at the right of the main sculptured panel which have never been read. Inaccessible from the ground, these columns will be reached by cable from above. The main inscriptions and an accompanying relief were carved by order of Darius, King of Persia. They are 500 feet up Mount Behis- tun and 100 feet above a sheer vertical wall. Darius and Enemnies The relief portrays Darius and ten of his enemies whom he was forced to subdue before he ex- panded his empire and launched his fated war with ancient Greece. The inscriptions written in three ancient languages--Elamite, Old Persian and Babylonian-related how Darius outwitted his enemies and with the aid of his god Aura- mazda, became king over Persia. Dr. Cameron adds that Darius attributed his success to the fact that he was "neither a liar nor an evil-doer, neither I nor any of my family." Cuneiform Key By comparing the three versions of the same story, scholars have thus been able to find the key to all cuneiform inscriptions. Dr. Cameron will proceed to Iran through France and Turkey. He will spend January in Egypt and in February will become professor of Near Eastern cultures at the University.

Radio Station Fire DANVILLE, Ky., July 24-(P)- Fire damaged the engine room at radio station WHIR here last night, but the blaze extinguished itself and was not discovered un- til this morning. By JAMES BROWN Culminating twenty-eight thrill- packed days, the boys of the Uni- versity Fresh Air Camp held their annual carnival last Sunday. The carnival, the highlight of each four week session, was the result of weeks of anxious plan- ning on the part of the 116 under- privileged boys attending the camp under the sponsorship of various social agencies. Concessions Each of the cabins of eight boys, ranging from eight to thir- teen years in age, had planned some sort of a concession which they personally constructed and Four Baseball Players Killed Ina Bus Crash ST. PAUL, July 24-(P)-At least five persons, including sev- eral members of the Duluth team of the Northern Baseball League, were killed today in the head- on collision of the team's bus and a heavy truck. Eleven injured persons, four of whom were described as in critical condition, were taken to Ancker hospital. Witnesses in a car following the truck said the truck hit a rough spot in the road, bounced out of control, and plowed head-on into the bus. The bus burst into flames. The dead included the driver of the truck, James E. Grealish of St. Paul. Three other victims were tentatively identified as Don- ald Sherer, Bob Bredwell and Gil- bert Trible, all of St. Louis. The bus was reported driven by the baseball team's manager, George Treadwell. The bus was owned by the ball club. When the flames finally were put out, but before the wreckage had cooled enough to be entered, three bodies could be seen in the bus wreckage. Alongside the high- way lay the bodies of the truck driver, and an unidentified man. Among the injured are: Donald Vandermeer, 18, Muske- gon, Mich., critical. Frank Clark, 20, Jackson, Mich., critical. 1 _. _ I ran under the direction of their own counselor. In the morning a water show was featured, with swimming and boating races. If possible, the campers who did not take part in the races were more excited than the participants. Among the concessions which were eagerly advertised by the young barkers, were baseball throwing' galleries, lemonade stands, and turtle races. One of the most unusual was a boxing exhibition put on by the boys of the youngest cabin in the camp, who seemed to delight in mauling each other in a friendly way. The day's program was crowned with a picnic supper at the water- front. Camp Location The Fresh Air Camp, located about twenty-four miles north- west of Ann Arbor on Patterson Lake, was founded twenty-eight years ago by Lewis Reimann, the Presbyterian Student Worker on campus. It was originally con- ceived merely as a camp for un- derprivileged boys in southeastern Michigan. Ten years ago the University Summer Session began to offer counselors related graduate courses at the camp. In 1944 it was officially accepted bry the Michigan Board of Regents, and later placed under the control of the University's Institute for Hu- man Adjustment. Workshop At the present time the camp is considered a "workshop in hu- man behavior." Graduate stu- dents and a limited number of undergraduates from all over the country who are majoring in so- ciology act as counselors. Half of their time is spent studying, and half of the time they serve as ac- tive counselors. Naturally with the boys com- ing from a great variety of homes, some from orphanages and deten- tion homes, a great many prob- lems concerning camper rela- tionships continually arise. It is the counselors' job to alleviate as much friction as possible, while giving the boys a taste of living outdoors with others of their own age. BEHAVIOR WORKSHOP: Fresh Air Camp Winds Up Session With Annual Carnival camera men receive the director's f instructions through special ear- phones. The sound, picked up from overhead microphones, is relayed' separately. While some crew members tried to separate the coaxial cable going up Burton Tower from the tree where the cable had entangled it-l self, we slipped up to the 10th floor of Burton Tower, where the transmission station was set up.1 The engineers commented that this was the longest hop the sta- tion had ever tried from Ann Arbor. For football games, an ad- ditional transmitter had been used, on the way to Detroit. Four checks had to be made be- fore the experiment could be called a success, and the crew was on the job since 7 a m..,yesterday, pre- paring for the broadcast, setting up the microwave transmitter somewhat in the manner of a searchlighl t beam. "And this is our day for the races," they said. All told, the crew consisted of 7 engineers, 2 helpers, a produc- tion man, a lighting expert and the program producer. (Lighting expert is a fancy name for stage- hand, the ground crew said.) This was the third speech de- partment production televised. The first two were broadcast from Detroit studios in May.
