SPECIAL MUSIC EFFECTS:
'The Enchanted' Will Open Tonight
(v.. -. - P * ~
Recorded muscic written espec-
ially for the original production
will lend a special effect to the
speech department's presentation
of "The Enchanted" which will
open at 8 p.m. today in the Lydia
Mendelssohn Theatre.
Written by the celebrated
French playwright Jean Giradoux
and translated by Maurice Valen-
cy, "The Enchanted" is a witty,
engaging fantasy about a young
French schoolteacher named Isa-
bel who believes she can talk to a
ghost.
* * *
PORTRAYED BY Dorothy Gu-
tekunst, Grad., Isabel hopes to
rid the town of many of its evils
by communicating with a spirit,
played by Ted Heusel, Grad.
Falling in love with the hand-
some Supervisor of Weights and
Measures, however, is not part
of her original plan. Neverthe-
less, William Bromfield, Grad.,
as the supervisor, convinces her
that she must include love in
her plan.
The story develops in a fascin-
ating manner with the support of
a pompous government inspector,
played by Nafe Katter, Grad.;
Richard Burgwin, Grad., who han-
dles the part of the gentle mayor;
and the understanding doctor who
is portrayed by Donald Klechner,
Grad.
Further complications are con-
tributed by theMangebois sisters
-the town busy-bodies-perform-
ed by Joyce Bohyer, Grad. and
Ann Drew, Grad.
They are aided and abetted in
their humorous schemes by the
two executioners and two visitors
to the town. The latter characters
will be played by Ron Soble, Will-
ard Booth, Arthur Nevins and
Conrad Stolzenbach, all of whom
are graduate students in the
speech department.
Also in the cast are a group of
Ann Arbor high school girls in-
cluding Mimi Keniston, Judy Fin-
gerle, Peggy Mahoney, Nancy and
Norma Haisch, Anne Branson and
Mary Dolph.

Prejudices
Discussed
By ohnson
"Economic conflicts and disap-
pointments invite exaggerated an-
ieties and hostilities which are
easily turned into the channels of
race and group prejudice," Char-
les S. Johnson told the Summer
Conference on Intercultural Edu-
cation yesterday.
"The ambition of every good
American is to rise to a position
of power, wealth and luxury," he
continued. "When these goals are
blocked, many accept prejudicial
attitudes, simply because they en-
joy a considerable degree of social
acceptance and approval."
Johnson, a sociologist and au-
thor, is president of Fisk Univer-
sity in Nashville, Tenn. He has
also served as a researcher for the
National Urban League.
* -*
AS AN EXAMPLE, Johnson said
the fluctuation in acceptance of
the Chinese and Japanese on the
West Coast is in relation to wheth-
er their economic position at a
given moment is a threat or a
necessity.
He also emphasized that eco-
nomic achievements play a big
part in reaching higher levels
of social structure in this coun-
try. "Thus, the more difficult
the rise in the economic scale,
the slower the process of accept-
ance of the minority group."
"As a result of an emphasis on
education for understanding of
cultural and racial problems, there
has been a wave of special pro-
jects, fitful programs, intercultural
and interracial events of varying
character," Johnson said.
He claimed that some of the
projects can actually prove detri-
mental, psychologically and emo-
tiorially, because they call atten-
tion to a special setting or special
differences.
During the afternoon session of
the conference, Sarita Davis, li-
brarian at the University Elemen-
tary School, described the "G.I.
Education for American Children
in Germany."
"The release of responsibility
and power to the German Repub-
lic by the three power High Com-
mission and the change in em-
phasis from tripartite armies of
occupation police to an interna-
tional defense force against pos-
sible foreign invasion is being ac-
companied by an official policy of
f r i e n d l y democratic relations,"
Miss Davis said.
DRIVERS' DELIGHT
New Battery Developed
By U' Research Group
A lightweight storage battery
which starts a car at 65 degrees
below zero has been developed at
the University Engineering Re-
search Institute under the spon-
sorship of the U. S. Army Ord-
nance Corps.
Expected to have wide applica-
tion not only in military installa-
tions but commercially, the bat-
tery utilizes a new principle in the
construction of the grids.
According to Prof. L. L. Carrick,
of the chemical engineering de-
partment, and L. S. Gerber of the
Detroit Arsenal, directors of the
research project, the new battery
was made possible by successfully
lead plating materials ordinarily
corroded by sulphuric acid.
This makes it possible to re-
place large amounts of the lead
used in standard batteries with
aluminum, brass, iron or copper.
The use of thes;. materials results
in a much lighter yet more power-
ful battery.
DESIGNED TO meet the exact-
ing standards of widespread mili-
tary operations, the new battery
has withstood tests proving it to
operate effectively at temperatures
ranging from 165 degrees above
to 65 degrees below zero. The bat-
tery, also maintains a constant
high power output over a long per-
iod of time, saves both space and
weight compared with commercial
batteries now in use and main-
tains its charge for long periods of
time when not in use.
Professor's
Wife Passes
Mrs. Jemima A. Lorch, 70 year
old wife of Professor Emeritus
Emil Lorch, founder of the College
of Architecture and Design, died
yesterday morning in St. Joseph's
Mercy Hospital after a long illness.
Actively participating in music
organizations here, Mrs. Lorch was
once treasurer of the former
Chamber Music Association and a
patroness of Sigma Alpha Iota mu-
sic sorority.
She was also a charter member
and past-president of the Faculty
Women's Club.
Following their marriage in
1906, Mr. and Mrs. Lorch lived in
Ann Arbor for the past 45 years.
The problem of the "still start-
er" is eliminated by this new-
type battery according to Gerb-
er and Prof. Carrick. It is now
a common phenomenon for a
car owner to find his battery
dead after the car has been idle
for a while during the summer,
or stored in the garage for the
winter.
This will be a thing of the past
when this new battery is available
commercially for the "low self-dis-
charge rate"' (reduction in the use-
ful life of the battery while not in
use) characteristic of this new bat-
tery allows a car to stand idle all
winter and still start.
This minimal reduction in the
useful life of the battery while not
in use is due to the new method
of utilizing pure lead plating on a
lighter metal base instead of the
lead antimony alloy now used to
produce the grid core in a stand-
ard battery plate.
The initial starting power at-
tributable to the new battery
was vividly demonstrated in a
laboratory test under conditions
comparable to starting a stiff
automobile engine on a cold win-
ter morning with the thermome-
ter hitting zero.
A standard battery and one of
the new type were each subjected
to a 300-ampere discharge rate.
The standard make 12-volt battery
was reduced to six volts in one
minute and 23 seconds, where as
the aluminum grid battery held up
for two minutes and 39 seconds, or
virtually twice as long.
'U' Quintet
To Perform
Tomorrow
The University Woodwind Quin-
tet will present a concert. at 8:30
p.m. tomorrow in Rackham Lec-
ture Hall as a part of the Third

music school. The musicians are

Wardrop, oboe; Albert Luconi,
clarinet; Ted Evans, French horn;
Hugh Cooper, bassoon. Wardrop,
Luconi, Evans and Cooper are

Orchestra who teach on a part-
time basis at the University.
Highlighting the concert will be

"Quintet" by Ebbe Hamerick, con-
temporary Danish composer.

Gerard P. Kupier of the Yerkee
Observatory will lecture on "The
Planets" at the department of as-
tronomy Visitors' Night at 8:30 p.-
m. Friday in 1025 Angell Hall.
Following the lecture the stu-
dent observatory on the fifth floor
will be open for telescopic obser-
vations of Saturn and a star clus-
ter.
If the sky is not clear the ob-

charter to the "Free Europe Uni-

However, the scholarships prob-

They said approximately $250,-
