with the splendid cooperation
of these teachers concerned" Mr.
Olson said, land because of an en-
rollment that was not up to ex.
pectations, this change is made
possible. We find we can get along
with one less teacher without
crowding any of the rooms"
He announced too that class
es end Friday to begin the
usual two weeks vacation over
the Christmas and New Year
holidays. School will be resIim-
ed Monday, January 6, when
the new arrangement in the
lower grades becomes effective.
Because Of this new arrange

morning of this week instead Of in
the afternoon as previously an
nounced, Mr.. Olson said. Notes are
being sent to parents Of the pupils

is made because in the afternoon

ing for the reason that the class
was the first to be held exclusive
ly for training in its theory and
practice.
Most interesting among the de-
velopments, Lieutenant Cole said
were the tests being conducted
there for the 80 nm. anti-aircraft
unit that has been accepted by the
Army. Tests conducted were to
determine it's adaptability for an
ti-aircraft defense. 1T is expected
that the unit will replace the pres
ent inch gun now prominent in
the field" Cole said. "The 80 nm.
unit is the largest gun practicable
for mobile units"
He cited as interesting a visit
to the aircraft carrier of the U. s..
Navy, the Ranger, and his observa-
tons on the barrack building at
the camp in progress for the i'm
pending increased training.
Previous schools, he pointed out,
had been conducted for all phases
of the coast artillery program in
Guiding harbor patrol, bomb plant
ing and anti-aircraft. The prom
inence Of the present war of air
fighting and the defense against
it, has spurred the coast artillery
program toward anti-aircraft, he
said.
The course included work in gun
merry, materiel, tactics, communica-
tions, firings as the five major
headings in the work. Lieutenant
Cole was graduated in the class
November 23rd. The local unit has
recently affiliated with the coast
artillery as an anti-aircraft unit
and is expected to go into training
at March Field, California.

Board Refuses to
Give Hearing to
Michigan Students

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-(FP)-A doz-
en- or more University of Michigan
students who were notified by Presi-
dent A. G. Ruthven that they would
not be readmitted to the state univer-
sity this fall failed to obtain an open
hearing from the board of regents
September 81.
The board also refused to hear a
delegation from the Michigan commit
tee for academic freedom, $50 Insur-
ance building, Detroit Secretary Err
nest Goodman of the committee an
nounced:
1--WE will continue to fight for JUS
tice for those students if we have to
take it to the peoples representatives
in the state legislature or even to the
voters themselves"
The students were told last spring
that they would not be allowed to en-
ter this fall. No reasons were given in
President Ruthven's letter but it was
generally understood that they had
been too active in promoting a union
of student workers and other workers
in and around the campus. They also
had been vigorously interested in
peace, negro rights and similar issues.
The case of the students was taken
I'D by the UAW-CIO convention in
st. Louis in August and a resolution
adopted calling for an open hearing.
Refusal of the board to hear the
case openly and refusal of the univer-
sity president to make the charges
public gives weight to Attorney Good
mans accusation that the schools OF
Michigan are not run in the spirit OF
democracy.
It appeared from evidence gathered
by the committee that it is the policy
of the university to refuse to deal In
any manner with any union represen-
tative of the university employees.
Since the university output is not con-
sidered to enter into interstate COM
merce, no labor board action is pos
sible.

OPPOSE SMITH
AMENDMENT

AMHERST, Mass.-(FP)-Condem-
nation OF the Smith amendments to
| the national labor relations act was
voiced by 260 clergymen of all faiths
in an appeal to Senator Ebert D.

on education and labor.
Their action brought to 1.104 the
number of religious and educational
leaders who have signed letter
drafted by the committee for the de-
tense of the national labor relations

attempts to emasculate the act and
should be defeated" the letter said.

resentative of a state north of the
Mason and Dixon line has had posi-
ton of leadership in the house.
Mccormack was elected over Rep.
sentative of the anti-new deal demo-
Gratis as we'll as a representative of
the poll tax democrats who would out
do the republicans as tories if they
could.
It has been the lament of liberals
since the beginning Of the Roosevelt
administration that the workings of
the seniority system in congress, cou-
pied with the poll tax and monopoly
of the democratic party in the south,
should provide the house with the kind
of leadership it has had during the
past seven years.
Mccormack is an able person, re-
spected by his colleagues and convinc-
ing in debate. Several years ago he
headed a committee similar to the
Dies committee though it's activities
were more limited and its performance
less ludicrous.
Legislation that formerly found the
ways creased because of friendship
with Vice President Gamers pal, Sam
Rayburn, may now find the going
tougher and vice versa.
