Legislature
Plans Set
For Ballot
LANSING, Mich,-(AP)-Two riv-
al plans for reappointment of the
State Legislature were approved
yesterday, raising some questions
as to what would happen if the
State's voters okay both on the
November ballot.
The State Board of Canvassers
gave its consent for placing both
plans on the ballot, but set July
23 as a date for straightening out
a conflict over wording of the two
propositions. They have nearly
identical wording, which all agreed
could be very confusing to the
voters.
THE CIO backed Michigan
Committee for Balanced Govern-
ment did not make any effort to
block the rival plan offered by the
Michigan Committee for a Bal-
anced Legislature, sponsored by
the Michigan Farm Bureau and
the Michigan Industrial Council..
CIO representatives had ex-
amined signatures on the. bal-
anced legislature group proposal
and there had been some indi-
cation they might challenge its
validity.
The Board of Canvassers spent
some time yesterday in discussing
complaints that the wording of the
petitions was so similar that the
average voter would not realize
the difference in intent of each
group.

The broken-column monu-
ment, now situated at the left
of the General Library, bears
the names of four professors,
who records indicate are buried
elsewhere. 'The monument is
the sole visible evidence of a,
Regents' 1845 decree to plot a
University graveyard on campus
and erect a monument on it.
According to University histor-
ians, no one was ever buried in
the 150 foot square plot and noth-
ing except misplaced Medical
School cadavers has ever been un-
covered in the course of under-
ground construction projects.

By The Associated Press
For once, Hewlett Johnson, "Red
Dean" of Canterbury, has been
guilty of bad timing.
Dean Johnson loves to make un-
orthodox remarks, creating con-
troversy and attracting attention
to himself.
HE HAS done it again in Eng-
land by9 returning from a Com-
munist-sponsored trip to Moscow
with word that he was convinced
by "scientific" evidence that the
U.S. had adopted germ warfare in
the Far East.
The British Press, however, has
been giving him considerable at-
tention, plying him with scorn,
ridicule and sarcastic sympathy
along with serious condemnation.
It's nothing new for the Dean.
Twice in his long career he has
been castigated by his own
Archbishop. He has been rot-
ten-egged in Canada and heav-
ily guarded by New York Police
against the prospect of similar
attack.
The Manchester Guardian re-
marked Wednesday that "if his
self-complacency and self-delu-
sion were not so complete, the
Dean would be & rather pathetic
figure."
Omer To Talk

Guy C. Omer, Jr., Visiting pro-
fessor from the University of Chi-
cago, will open the astronomy de-
partment's summer program of

Omer will talk on "The Birth of
our Universe."
Following the talk, the student
observatory on the fifth floor of
Angell Hall will be open until

the telescopes and binoculars of
Mars and a star cluster if weather
permits.
Children are welcomed, but they
must be accompanied by adults,
department officials said.
