Only Slight Drop
Noticed in City Itself,
Officials Declare

Gas company and tax officials,
police heads and tourist authori-
ties were agreed today that while
the rubber and gas shortage threat
has caused thus far only slight
depreciation in metropolitan traf-
fic, travel on state highways has
been reduced draStically.
Rejecting this opinion was a
report from the Automobile Club
of Michigan indicating a 48 per
cent decrease in travel outside
Detroit.
1.-THE decline started with
Pearl Harbor," Edm ond S.
Matheson, head of the travel
bureau, said. "Since then we
have noticed steady drop.
With gas rationing In the East,
we can anticipate an even
further cut"
Matheson commented that viz
tually the only major tour in
quiries concerned trips by parents
to army camps. This traffic, he
added, is being discouraged by the
government.

Negro colleges, declares Mac
Lean, have scrambled and fought
like dogs in the past. War among
them, as among the embattled ma
tons, has arisen from policies of
appeasement, isolation, rivalry,
jealousy, suspicion, and ignorance.
Primarily academic institutions
have damned those primarily voca-
tional, and vice versa.
Contrasted with these attitudes
and practices is the Dubois
plan, calling for intercollegiate CO.
operation en- a core of social stu
dies to be unified and co-ordinat-
ed for q joint, continuous attack
on Negro problems.
Already accepted by Presidents
of Land Grant Colleges, Dubois

ing a comprehensive, planned pro-
gram Of education, based upon the
needs of local, regional, and ma
tional Negro populations.
