Elected in a reference to censor
ship of speeches made last night
by Miss Mary Winslow, advisor
for civic projects in the Office
of the Coordinator of Inter-
American Affairs, during a talk
at the State Convention Of
League of Women Voters.
Offering an apology for hav-
ing in her hand prepared
manuscript of her speech, Miss
Winslow commented:
"You have no idea how many
people check and recheck our
speeches before we give them.
Of course, this is because there
is great danger of someone say
ing something which the Gov
eminent does not want pub
lished. SO, If I stay very close to
my prepared speech, you will
understand that I'm just trying
to cooperate with Washington
officials"
Newspapermen reporting the
speech found that Miss Winslow
deviated only once from her
manuscript, and then to insert
an "off the record" sidelight on
q Washington parsonage.

"a grant of approximately
$225,000 has been approved by
the Works Progress Admins
tration in Washington for the
WPA project at Selfridge Field
which was shut down three
weeks ago when funds were ex-
hausted.
The new allotment will re-
turn more than 200 men to work
on various phases of the sorely
needed housing project. When
the project closed, the men
were painting interiors and ex-
teriors Of homes, laying side
walks, constructing roads, etc.
The homes are intended for the
personnel at the field, many of
whom are living miles distant
from the post due to lack Of fac
ilities.
Local WPA officials said to-
day that work would be resum-
ed Immediately after the Presi-
dent signs the new order"
which is expected today or to-
morrow.
Based upon the last payroll
issued by the WPA at the Field,
the grant of $225, 900 should pro-
vide about 10 months work for
the 200 men.

When Zylstra replaced Stan
Kowal in the No. | slot for Michi-
gan State, Coach Ray Cartwright
attempted TO counter with the
shift by sending his top man, Ben
Smith, against Kowal in the No. 3
spot
As Il turned out, both Zylstra
and Kowal understood Smith. Ac-
tually the Spartans were not
attempting TO outfox Michigan.
Zylstra was moved up because of
his consistently lower scores. This
being the last dual meet for the
state golfers, Zylstra and Kowal
were elected honorary co-captains
for the season. Both are seniors
and will compete in the National
Collegiate tournament at Ohio
