ANN ARBOR. oct. 15.-Con-
demning the federal government S

thus Gripping the colleges, Presi-
dent Alexander c. Ruthven of the
University of Michigan said today
that this nation has miSuSed the

Speaking at the opening session
of a special program commemo-
rating the one hundredth ami
Versary of the University of
Michigan today. he declared that
we have been complacen I

MISUSE OF KNOWLEDGE
AS evidence OF the misuse of
knowledge, we need only to
observe. Congress voting "A
three hundred million dollars
highway pork barrel bill, when
many schools, for want of sup
port, operate only for n part OF
the year and with depleted and
underpald STATS" he said.

TASK OF COLLEGES
The task OF rebuilding the world

President Ruthven declared, and
for this the colleges must rrrit1ti-
bic their efforts.
Our lack Of success i'm

Ocracy or Christian communism,

can be attributed To our failure

WASHINGTON. D. CLAMP
The secretary of agriculture, Claude
G. Wickard, announced last week
the appointment to office of two
important aides. Thomas N.
Roberts of Tuskegee, who for the
past year has been completing
work on his doctors degree in
agriculture at the University of
Wisconsin on a RoSenWald fellow
ship, was named special assistant
to Roy F. HendrickSon, director of
personnel for the entire depart
ment.
The scope of Mr.. Roberts duties
will include supervision of racial
relations, a post which is certain
to have far reaching possibilities
because the agricultural depart
ment touches more closely the
lives of Negroes than does any
other governmental bureau. The

|Of Paul Revere
b. the Associated Press.


BOSTON, April l9.-In the midst
of defense preparations designed to
make the armaments of this Nation
the equivalent of any in the world,
Greater Boston, where we're forged
the first weapons of Americas in
dependence, re-enacted today the
l66-year-old story of Paul Revere's
ride.
From the moment two traditional
lanterns were hung in the old North
Church belfry at midnight, eight
communities extending from Boston
to Lexington and Concord began
Patriots Day observances to keep
bright the memory of the Revolution
and the shot heard round the
world"
On the dot of 10 am, 1t. Joseph
F. Fraumeni of the National Lancers
-impersonating Paul Revere-and
Col. F. Paul Welsch, also of the
Lancers - impersonating William
Dawes-re-enacted the rides of those
two patriots from Boston to Lex
ington.
Thousands greeted them as they
trotted over different routes and ad-
ditional hundreds cheered another
messenger impersonating DR.. Sam
uel Prescott, as he completed the
trip from Lexington to Concord.
