THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, AUGUST!, 1952 AGE FOUR II i_ Catching Up I .38 Years World War I began 38 years ago today with the declaration of war by the Central Powers against Russia in 1914. New Time Scheduled For Movies The SL Cinema Guild's new fea- ture film "I Married a Witch" will be shown at 6:00, 8:10 and 10:20 p.m. today in accordance with the Guild's new policy, according to Don Hunt, Grad., manager of the Cinema Guild. Two short subjects, "The City" and "The Vagabond" with Char- lie Chaplin, will be shown at 9:15 and 9:30 p.m., Hunt said. The new sghedule will thus make it more convenient for the summer crowds that would like to be out by 8:00 he pointed out. The Guild's summer profits are used for maintenance, improve- ment and to keep up the insurance fund, according to Hunt. This fund guarantees that any films Shown will not suffer a loss at the expense of the student organiza- tion sponsoring it. Allduring the regular season, the profits, except for the insurance premiums, will go to the sponsoring clubs, he continued. Any suggestions for the films to be shown in the fall will be wel- comed, Hunt said, but they must come in next week, as next year's booking will be finished within a few weeks. Arguments, Against Tax Motion Aired (Continued from Page 1) ALSO WOODEN SHOES: Holland and Water Nearly Synonymous SUMMER HOURS 12:30 to 5:00 Closed Saturdays Other Hours by Appointment By BARNES CONNABLE special To The Daily AMSTERDAM - Dykes, canals, windmills and the Zuyder Zee. Aside from wooden shoes, that's what Holland is to the American. And it's a pretty good picture. Water is Holland-most of its people live an average of ten feet under its natural level. All of them have plenty to do with it. NEW HAMPSHIRE'S farmers' almanac could make a fortune over here, at least with the un- knowink tourists. Rain is a pretty safe prediction most of the time. The farmer welcomes it, but he does a good deal to supple- ment it. The Netherlands' wide- spread irrigation system and continual land reclamation pro- cess is a fascinating pattern. The Zuyder Zee is no longer a "Zee." They call it a lake now because the Dutchman is using a lot of its bottom for soil, and in the distant future will be using all of it. While this activity, essential to the growing population, has been going on for centuries, the past I_ several decades has seen the big- gest strides through modern me- chanical progress. In the last 50 years, by building dykes, and cul- tivating land, the Dutch have add- ed a quarter of their present ter- ritory, once travelled by fisher- men, to the productive area. * * * NEARLY HALF of Holland lies under the gale high tide level but, barring bombs, the dykes and dunes protect the conquered soil. Lakes and ponds are drained and the reclaimed "polder" land is de- fended while the excess rain and ground water is carried off. This last task is the historic job of the windmills. These an- cient pumps, formerly an inte- gral arm of the age-old struggle against the water, still dot the landscape, but most of them have been trod on in the march of science by electric power. Some of the polders, such as the big Wieringermeer, were inun- dated up to fifteen feet by the Germans. But five months after the war, they were land again. Other large polders will eventually form Holland's twelfth province, about 7 percent of the total land area. But water cooperates with Hol- land in the area of transporta- tion. Canals, particularly around Amsterdam which is called the "Rhineport" because of its canal links with the big river, carry a large share of the commercial traffic. The wooden shoes? You see them everywhere. Workmen wear them for rugged protection, warmth and low cost. For the full story-book costume, though, you have to visit tourist centers such as Volendam in modern- dress Holland.

State Politicians Cautious About Election Predictions U RMOEMOVAL LANSING-(P)-Politicians here frankly admit they don't know what to expect at Michigan's hot weather primary election next Tuesday. The summer date was set to MacArthur Gets High Rand Post allow more time to send absentee ballots to servicemen. The guess- ing is that the hot summer weath- er and vacations will cut heavily into the primary vote. * * .* IN THE department of elections, a cautious guess is that only about 600,000 voters will turn out. This is about one fourth of the state registration and one half the vote in the general election. The voters will nominate can- didates for- governor, U.S. Sen- ator, lieutenant governor, the State Legislature and county offices. Governor G. Mennen Williams is unopposed on the Democratic ticket for renomination, while the Republicans have a ding-dong race between three well-known figures. FRED M. ALGER, JR., of Grosse Pointe, who is completing his thirc term as secretary of state, gener- ally is regarded as the man tc beat in the GOP gubernatoria hassle. NEW YORK-P)--Gen. Doug- las MacArthur turned his back on politics and soldiering yesterday to begin a new career as chairman of Remington Rand Inc., 227-mil- lion-dollar-a-year industrial cor- poration. The former Pacific commander and Republican Convention key- noter said he would take no part in the election campaign of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. He had backed Ohio Senator Robert Taft for the nomination. * * * n I' BUTTONHOLED by reporters at a luncheon where his election was announced, MacArthur said firmly: "I will take no part in the campaign. I am embarking up- on a new career in industry. I will not be a part of the political picture." MacArthur's acceptance was an- nounced by James H. Rand, Com- pany president, who said the post had been offered him once three years ago and again shortly after he was relieved of his Pacific command in April last year. Now for the first time, Rand said, Mac- Arthur felt free to accept it. MacArthur told the gathering: "It is peculiarly agreeable that on this late day of my life, I can pass from a profession of destruc- tion to another of construction- to build rather than destroy. I think it is a gift of God that per- mits an old soldier to end that way." Set Final Visitors' Night forToday The final summer visitors' night program sponsored by the Uni- versity's astronomy department will be held at 8:30 p.m. today in Rm. 3017 Angell Hall. Prof. Freeman D. Miller of the astronomy department will give an illustrated talk on "Falling Through the Universe," followed by observations of the moon in the fifth-floor student observa- tory. Hatcher To Talk University President Harlan H. Hatcher will address inaugural ceremonies for Hillsdale College's incoming president, J. Donald Phillips. Ceremonies will be held Oct. 12. He is opposed by Lt. Gov. Wil- liam C. Vandenberg of Holland, who has served three terms in the Senate and one as lieuten- ant governor, and Donald S. Leonard of Detroit, recently re- tired as State Police Commis- sioner. Vandenberg has the backing of strong church and "dry" groups as well as support among the GOP old guard. Leonard, entering the race late, reportedly has been gaining well in recent weeks and some think he could cut Alger deeply enough in Wayne County to let Vandenberg slip through. The Democratic race for the U.S. Senatorship nomination is considered a lop-sided affair. The incumbent, Blair Moody, famed Washington newspaper writer for the Detroit News for many years, was appointed to succeed the late Arthur H. Vandenberg by Gov. Williams and has the official par- ty backing. He is opposed by Louis C. Schwinger of Saginaw, husband of Mrs. Minnie C. Schwinger, former Democratic National Committee- woman and is regarded as a lone rallying point for Democratic dis- sidents who opposed Williams or Moody's appointment. for all roads entering Ann Arbor," Crisler commented. "He objected to 'the levy on grounds that it was aimed large- ly at the stadium crowd. Pointing out that the University brings the best possible entertain- ment at the lowest purchase rates, Mrs. Lawrence Upham, director of the Oratorical Association, stressed that this sort of activity should be "encouraged not discouraged." The proposed ten per cent tax, she felt, would accomplish the latter. Expressing campus opinion on the issue, summer League Presi- dent Alberta Cohrt felt that the tax would penalize students more than anyone else. She said that most student opinion seems to be directed against the tax because of the fact that the city, and the merchants in particular, get so much student business. Two Students Receive Grant University medical school stu- dents Gilbert Ross, Jr., and Ed- mund Andres have been awarded $400 summer fellowships by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The awards were announced by Mr's. Robert Langford, chairman of the Washtenaw chapter of the polio foundation. Ross and Andres will conduct two-month clinical studies in phy- sical medicine and rehabilitation under their grants. FALL FASHION OPENINGS SKIRTS In orlon, wool, corduroy and velvet.
