LINGUISTICS:

On Phases of Languages

of ancient and modern languages

the Linguistic Society of America's
ninth summer program today.
The two-day meeting, which
opened yesterday, is being held in
conjunction with the Linguistic
Institute.
Sessions will be held at 9 a.m.
and 2 p.m. itoday in Rackham
Amphitheatre. Speakers on the

Tactics on Poll
Tax Succeeds
WASHINGTON, July 30-(P)-
Southern opponents of the anti-
poll tax bill chalked off their sec-
ond successful day of delaying tac-
tics in the Senate today.
A weekend recess, running until
Monday noon, gave them time to
develop their strategy and seek
new recruits.
They were able to take things
easy for two hours today. It took
that long for the clerk to read a
renewed demand from President
Truman for inflation controls, and
for the Republicans to criticize
his recommendations.
Keep Pressing
Before the Senate recessed at
3:33 p.m. (CST) Sen. Wherry of
Nebraska, the acting Republican
floor leader, said his side would
keep pressing al motion to bring
up the bill "until we can pass it
favorably or proceed on it in
some other manner."
He didn't say what other
manner he had in mind. Sen.
Taft (Rep., Ohio) told the Senate
that the Republicans will try hard
to get action on the bill by the
middle of next week. He suggested
that Congress may be able to quit
by Aug. 7.
Continuous Session
Sen. Morse (Rep., Ore.) urged
that the Senate try to get around
the impasse by staying in con-
tinuous session 24 hours a day
next week. He called filibusters
an evil which threaten majority
rule.
Most of the Southerners off.i-
cIally insisted that the extended
debate was merely an educational
campaign. Republican Taft said
too that he didn't understand that
a filibuster was in progress-he
had always believed there should
be three days of general debate
on any important bill.

Return Files

ney General Eugene F. Black to-

liott's demand for the return of
Flint auto rackets Grand Jury rec-
ords.
However, Black said, he would
accept service of JudgefElliott's
subpoena and appear before the
court early next week.
State police in Lansing claimed
they were unable to find Black
to serve the subpoena on him.
Located by Reporters

listed in the directory for former
Governor Alex J. Groesbeck.
Black said he called Judge El-

court whenever asked. The attor-
ney general said they agreed he
would appear Monday or Tuesday.
At that time, Black said, he
would repeat what he told Judge
Elliott in a letter today that the
controversial Grand Jury evidence
"will be promptly returned when
it has served the purpose for
Which it was subpoenaed and im-
pounded and not until such time."

several days ago' when Judge El-
liott announced that he was with-
drawing from the Grand Jury. It
was looking into auto sales rack-
ets.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first
of a series of articles de'ling with
the work done at the Fresh Air
Camp in the summer and the pro-
posed student recreation center to
be located there in the winter.)
By FREDRICA WINTERS
The University Fresh Air Camp
is on its way to assuming year
round functional use, not only for
campers in the summer, but also
for University students in the win-
ter.
For some time now, the Camp
has been envisaged as a place
where students could hold outdoor
parties, ski trips, dances and pic-
nics. In past years students have
indeed used the Camp for many of
these activities, but as present
plans near completion, the Camp
will be available for ever-growing
range of activities.
Every Weekend
Last spring events were held
every weekend at the Camp. These
included outings of various organ-
izations. During the winter ski
parties made use of the many hills
around the Camp.
The Fresh Air Camp, located 26
miles from Ann Arbor, near Dex-
ter is on Patterson Lake which
provides fine swimming in the
summer, and freezes in the winter
for skating.
At present, the chief facility

available for student use is the
main lodge consisting of two large
rooms which can be made into one
for dances. The two fireplaces in
the lodge aren't enough to tame
the winter winds, however. It is
hoped that the building will be
winterized by next winter with
funds provided by the Assembly
Association for that purpose.
Active Part
The Exectuive Committee of the
Fresh Air Camp is making efforts
to interest each major organiza-
tion on campus in taking an active
part in the development of the
Camp by having each support one
particular project.
To date the Committee is able to
report quite a bit of success along
this line. Last semester's Michi-
gras contributed $2,000 to the
building fund, and the Tag Day
held last May netted $5.000 inore.
In addition this sum was supple-
mented by the aid socities which
send underprivileged boys to the
Camp in the Summer.
Beach House
The Interfraternity Council and
Panhellenic Association have
have adopted as their project the
building of a beach house. The
structure will be on stilts with
room for boats underneath.
(Tomorrow: Additional plans
for the Student Center)

Trial by jury for every citizen
charged with infraction of the law
is guaranteed, by the Constitution
to every American.
How this precious right is im-
plemented for the protection of
the individual will be displayed
starting Wednesday when the
University Law school puts on a
mock trial.
Entire proceedings will be con-
ducted by Law Students, who will
assume the roles of prosecutors,
defense attorney and judge. Politi-
cal science students have been
asked to serve as jurors.
The case will revolve around a
mock automobile accident staged
last spring by law students. Wit-
nesses to the fake accident, many
of them unaware that the action
before their eyes was not real, will
present testimony.
