TUESDAY, MAY 7. 1935 Price Three CentsSocialSecurityLegislationThis is the fourth of a seriesof articles by University profes¬sors on President Roosevelt’sNew Deal Policies.By PAUL H. DOUGLASProfessor of EconomicsThe administration’s social secur¬ity bill which passed the House ofRepresentatives on Saturday, the27th of April, is perhaps the mostimportant bill, next to the N. R. A.and the A. A. A. which has beensponsored by President Roosevelt.While it has several minor featuressuch as additional aid for publichealth and the care of dependentchildren, etc., its tw’o major purposesare to help provide more adequateprotection for the aged and to stim¬ulate insurance against involuntaryunemployment.So far as the aged are concerned,the immediate program is to stimu¬late the states to pass old age pen¬sion laws and to provide adequatepensions under them by having thefederal government meet half thecosts of such pensions, subject to amaximum payment by the federalgovernment of $15 per month perpei 'on. By thus taking a portion ofthe load off the backs of the statesIt is believed that states will bemuch more ready to pa.ss adequatelaws.COMPULSORYCONTRIBUTIONSThe federal government is also re-ipiiring compulsory contributions byemployers and employees to provideold age annuities. While agriculture,domestic service, state employment,public employment and employmentby non-profit-making agencies areexcluded from these provisions,the aim in general is to require work¬ers and employers each to contributesums which will ultimately be 3 percent from each side or 6 per cent inall, of their current wages and sal¬aries. In return for this, personsreaching the age of 55 will receiveS' long a.s they live from 25 to 50per cent of their average earnings.The amount of the annuity will nat¬urally vary with the length of previ¬ous service.The administration nill also aimsto stimulate the states to pass unem¬ployment insurance laws by lev'j’inguiM)n the employers a tax upon pay¬rolls w'hich to begin with is 1 percent but which by 1938 will be 3per cent. Then as states pass unem¬ployment insurance laws the employ¬ers may have credited as an offsetagainst 90 per cent of the federaltax the amounts which they are con¬tributing under the state laws. Inthis way a state which passes an un¬employment insurance law will notreally add to the financial burdens ofits employers. It will merely meanthat the employers in the given statewill be contributing money to a statefund for the relief of local unemploy¬ment, and incidentally for the reduc¬tion of local taxes, which otherwisewould go to the federal governmentand be spent by Washington for un¬designated purposes.STATEINSURANCEOn the other hand, a state which<ioes not pass an unemployment in¬surance law does not secure therebyany economies for its employers orobtain any unfair competitive ad¬vantage over its fellow states for itsemployers will still have to pay thecontributions, but the amounts willgo to Washington instead of to a^tate fund for the relief of local un¬employment. By this measure it ishoped to remove the fear of inter¬state competition which at presentinhibits and largely prevents individ¬ual states from stepping out aheadof their fellows and pa.ssing forward-looking legislation. It enables thestates to move together, to cope withone of the most severe problems ofour times.There are many detailed criticismswhich I might make on specific fea¬tures of the bill and changes whichmany of us are trying to have in¬cluded, but the purpose of the bill isin my opinion correct and I hope that*h.^ general public, including theleaders of the Maroon, may realizeits Umportance and do what they canto i)roriote the general idea. DELTA SIGMA RHOADMITS DEBATORSTO MEI^ERSHIPUnion Holds Electionof New OfficersWednesdayReinstatement of the Universitydebate union as a member of DeltaSigmo Rho, honorary forensic society,was announced yesterday by JohnStoner, director of debates.The University chapter was votedupon unanimously by an executivecommittee of ten members of the va¬rious chapters throughout the coun¬try. Henry Lee Ewbank, president ofthe society at Wisconsin made theeleventh member though his vote wasnot counted because of his position.Members VotingThose members who voted were:j Mrs. Frank Smith, secretarj' of the] society; Gilbert Hall of Wa.shington,j D.

Edwin Frost ShowsImprovement AfterOperation YesterdayFollowing an operation undergoneearly yesterday morning, Dr. EdwinB. Frost, professor emeritus of As¬trophysics and director emeritus ofthe Yerkes obseiwatory, was reportedin a weakened condition late lastevening.Mr. Frost, who was suffering fromstones in the common duct, had beenunder observation in Albert MerrittBillings hospital since April 12. Im¬mediately following the operation heshowed the effect of operative shock,his pulse being irrgular until late inthe afternoon when it regained nor¬mal. At the last bulletin he had ral¬lied somewhat, his temperature wasimproved, and the doctors were opti¬mistic.Coming from Dartmouth college in1898, Dr. Frost has held the positionof professor of Astrophysics sincethat time. In. 1905 he became di¬rector of the University’s Yerkes ob¬servatory at Williams Bay, Wiscon¬sin, a position he held until his re¬tirement in 1932. Although he losthis sight during the later years ofhis directorship, the handicap did notinterfere with his work. He is uni-v'ersally known for his work in photo¬graphing the stars and nebulae.ROTC MEMBERSSELL BIDS FORMILITARY BALLTickets were placed on sale yes¬terday for the 11th annual Militaryball, which will be held Wednesdayevening.

Gilkey,dean of the Chapel, after visits to tencolleges and universities, includingfour eastern, women’s colleges, dur¬ing the academic year, 1934-35.The colleges visited include Cor¬nell, Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke,Massachusetts State college, Prince¬ton, Howard university, Connecticutcollege for Women, Hollins, and theUniversity of Rochester.Interest in Public Affairs coeducational institutions the multi¬plication of contacts between menand women around a wide variety ofinterests, is a real factor in theireducation for the modern world. Oneadvantage of coeducational collegesis that their students face togethermore phases of life than can be thecase where men and women are reg-regated.Dean Gilkey also noted the easeand freedom of experimentation atthe University of Chicago, as com¬pared with older and more conserva¬tive institutions. As one of theyoungest institutions of the country,the University has never been dom¬inated by a large and conservativeInterest in, public affairs is especial- ; alumni body, loyal to the traditionsly marked in those institutions locat- j Qf ^ bygone day. The recent con¬ed in cities where variety of contacts , troversy over compulsory ohapel at-with social forces and realities is j tendance at Princeton shows how di-much in evidence. A few years ago vergent student, faculty, alumni, anda frequent criticism of Americanstudents, as contrasted with those ofother nations, was that they lackedinterest in political and social ques¬tions. This criticism has today lostmuch of its force.At the recent anti-war demonstra¬tions the forces that complicate andconfuse the issue of war and peacewere more in evidence on our owncampus, as in other city institutions,than could be the case in more shel¬tered institutions where these issuespresent themselves in less realisticform. This is evidenced in the di¬versity of opinion at demonstrationshere as compared to the greater hom¬ogeneity of opinion at colleges wherethe issue is more abstract and there¬fore simplified.Dean Gilkey further found that in.\ tru-stee opinion can be in a situationwhere all alike are concerned.(Continued on page 4)HOLD PRELIMINARIES INADAMS CONTEST TODAYPreliminaries in the Florence JaneAdams reading contest, sponsored bythe English department, will be heldthis afternon at 4 in the Reynoldsclub theater.

BUYING agency;REPDRTS VOLUMEINCREASBN APRILReports $307 Savingfor OrganizationsDuring MarchDue principally to the expansioneffected April 1 by the fraternity co¬operative buying organization to in¬clude meat purchases, the agencyshowed a $1300 increase in volumeover March for the past month.The total volume for April was$2094.16, it was pointed out byEverett George, student manager ofthe agency. A gross saving of $307.-08 was effected last month. Afterdeducting the administrative expenseof $60 this leaves a total net savingof $247.08, or 10.6 per cent of thetotal expense if the services wereprocured outside of the agency. Theadministrative expense of $60 repre¬sents only 2.2 per cent of the volume.Individual SavingsThe savings on individual servicesinclude 40 per cent on laundry, 12.5per cent on baked goods, 6 per centon butter and eggs, 20 per cent onfruits and vegetables, meats 7 percent, and purchases of linen 14.3 percent.Meat, the latest item to be addedto the purchasing list, is delivered di¬rect to the fraternities through localmarkets. Most of the other goods areordered through wholesalers and alsodelivered direct to the houses.The new plan of the agency, ap¬proved by the fraternities at a meet¬ing March 26, divides the houses intothree groups according to the volumeof the purchases placed with theagency. The cash reserve depositsplaced with the agency are appor¬tioned on this basis, allowing thesmaller houses to keep up a reseirvefor purchasing proportional to theirpurchases.At the present time 12 houses sub¬scribe to the plan. The agency ex¬pects to contract for canned goodsfor next year provided the organiza¬tion is made permanent. ’Committee of Five’Begins Proceedingsfor Red InvestigationToday in Springfield the firstmeeting of the “committee of five”will take place. Today work beginson the red investigation of the Uni¬versity. Friday or Saturday the set¬ting for action will shift to the Mid¬way where Senator Charles W. Bak¬er (Rep., Monroe Center) hopes tobring to light testimonial and docu¬mentary evidence which he states“(has been pouring in from all sides”to support his accusations.The committee is composedof:Senator Richey V. Graham(Dem., Cicero), who votedagainst Baker’s resolution forthe investigation, chairman.Senator James J. Barbour(Rep., Evanston) who also vot¬ed nay.Senator John W. Fibley(Dem., Pana) in sympathy withthe resolution.Senator W. H. Hickman(Dem., Paris), known to be outof sympathy with the investiga¬tion.Senator Charles W. Baker,author of the resolution.The committee has promised thatall evidence will receive attentionand that no “whitewash” of the Uni¬versity will be had. Charles Wal¬green and President Robert Hutch¬ins are slated for first appearances,it is said.SECRETARIES OFHUTCHINS’ OFFICETO WED IN JUNEThe old tradition that the Presi¬dent’s office is conducive to romanceis again fulfilled with the announce¬ment of the approaching marriage ofFelice Barrett, secretary to vice-president Frederic Woodward andLawrence Schmidt, formerly secre¬tary to President Robert MaynardHutchins. Both are graduates of theUniversity. The w’edding will takeplace June 1 in Washington, D. C.Redfield Returns from ResearchTrip to Yucatan and GuatemalaHaving spent the last six weeks inCentral America as research associ¬ate of the Carnegie institute, RobertRedfield, dean of the Division of theSocial Sciences, returned to the Uni¬versity last week. While on leave,Mr. Redfield worked in Yucatan andGuatemala.In Yucatan, he studied a numberof villages which the Carnegie insti¬tute has ben observing since 1930 todiscover the effects of the city onprimitive communites. The first ofthese studes furnished the subjectfor a work published last fall by Mr.Redfield and Alfonse Villa, a grad¬uate student at the University,Dean Redfield spoke to the inhabi¬tants of the village and gained furth¬er information, and from there wentto the site of the second study, aprimitive town, to clear up someodds and ends. After leaving thereDean, Redfield visited the highlandsof Guatemala, where a separate proj¬ect has ben started under the guid- I ance of Dr. Sox Tax at Chichi-castngo.Following a week’s stay there.Dean Redfield went with Dr. Tax andDr. A. B. Kidder, dean of the divi¬sion of the Carnegie institute mak¬ing the study, to Lake Atitlan, alsoi in the uplands of Guatemala, ar¬range plans for the next field trip.This study promises to prove ex¬tremely interesting from many an¬gles. On the shores of the lake thereare a dozen or more villages, each lo¬cated on a separate stream delta andisolated from the others by mountainbarriers. These primitive villageshave entirely different customs,modes of dress, and even dialects. Inone case, a village uses canoes andspends much of their time on thelake while another community lessthan a mile away does not even owncanoes. These villages do have somerelations with each other, but thisdoes not sem to effect their cultures.Dr. Redfield was recently electedpresident of the central section ofthe American Anthropological So¬ciety.RESIDENTS PLANHAWAIIAN PROGRAMAT I.

Holt of the de¬partment of Military, charged withdesertion and stealing a hat. The de¬fense w’as able to show that the of¬fense in connection with the hat wascharged. Although the prosecutionembezzlement rather than larceny aswas unable to offer sufficient proofthat Batton, who had committed A.W. 0. L. two years before, and hadan intention not to return, the courtinferred this intention and found thedefendant guilty of desertion.Though the customary penalty fordesertion is a dishonorable discharge.President of the court Robert S.Lineback imposed a sentence of onlythree months’ confinement at hardlabor.NOTICEWinners in the Old Geld Con¬test will be announced in tomor¬row’s Maroon instead of today aspreviously stated.

No longerwill a student who has had some minor functionin a production during his freshman year be per¬mitted to have a, voice for life in the selection ofnew officers at the end of each year. Proxy vot¬ing has been eliminated Gompletely, and onlythose members who have actively partieipated inone or more productions during the year are tobe aGGorded a voice in the seleetion of a newboard.The new simplified election set-up offers manynew advantages while keeping all of the old ones.Each subordinate group will still elect the chair¬man 55 ho will supervise its activities, and all themembers of the association can vote for the presi¬dential nominees. Formerly only the members ofth e newly elected board made the latter choice.W hether or not the purpose is so stated, the newmachinery will obviously tend to binder groups5vith an eye, to political manipulation. It is truethat the retiring board will draw up the slate ofnominees, but names may be added by petitionssigned by a sufficient number of eligible voters.At the same time this number is so restriGted asto allow only those having a definite interest andknQwledge of qualifications to take part in theselection of officers.Election of a president by the organization as awhole permits a more deraocratic choice thanthe older, more indirect method.

T.Nerlove Sees No Rise in Prices *^^sell*b^^orUntil Business Activity Revives j military ballDespite the forces arising out ofthe New Deal effort to attain a 1926price level, and the government de¬velopment of a monetary base morethan double that of 1926, there willbe no inflationary upsurge in com¬modity prices until there is a sub¬stantial and sustained revival in busi¬ness activity from the existing im¬proved levels.This was the conclusion of S. H.Nerlove, associate professor of Busi¬ness Economics, last Friday night ina lecture on “The New Deal andCommodity Prices” at the Art insti¬tute. Professor Nerlove’s addresswas the fifth of a series on “The NewDeal Reviewed.”Rise in Wholesale PricesThe significant economic and fin¬ancial conditions which preceded therise of commodity prices in 1861 andagain in 1915 are not is existence to¬day, according to Professor Nerlove’sanalysis, despite the New Deal poli¬cies. The New Deal has, he pointedout, accompanied a rise in wholesaleprices of approximately 33 per centand of 20 per cent in retail prices,bat since the general rise betweenFebruary, 1933, and July, 1933, therecord as a whole has been spotty.Curtailed agiicultural production,in conjunction with the drouth andthe devaluation probably explains themore than 90 per cent increase infarm products and the large increasein food prices. Professor Nerlovesaid.Trea»ury Balances IncreasesTremendous increase in Treasurybalances with the Federal Reservebanks, from under one-half billion tomore than three billion dollars, andthe excess reserves of banks, whichhave risen from under a billion^towell over two billions, are due pri¬marily to the direct devaluation ofthe dollar and the indirect devalua¬tion of a huge inflow of gold. Butthese gains are not being used forlending and spending; however un¬willing, the Treasury and banks arehoarding extraordinarily largeamounts of cash.Public lending and spending. Pro¬ fessor Nerlove said, have not suf-ficienitly increased the total volumeof expenditures to bring an import¬ant rise in commodity prices. Recip¬ients of loans have used them main¬ly to augment their cash balancesand pay their debts.“Aside trom the effect on theprices of farm products and foods,the New Deal net influence on othercommodity prices through wage¬raising policies, devaluation of thedollar, public lending and govern¬ment spending, has been merely tokeep the general commodity pricelevel from sagging after it revivedfrom its hysterical lows of February,1933,” the Chicago economist said.“And even in the case of the priceof farm products and foods, it shouldbe remembered that Nature was asignificant price-raising factor.”GILKEY DISCOVERSINCREASED INTERESTIN PUBLIC AFFAIRS(Continued from page 1)On the other hand, a member ofthe Unversity who visits other col¬leges, does not feel that all the ad¬vantages are on our side, continuedDean Gilkey. Wider opportunitiesfor participation in group life are of¬fered to students in many other in¬stitutions, and are more widely takenadvantage of, than here where ourhabits of individualism are strong.Such opportunities for group par¬ticipation certainly exist here, but do Inot find the response they call forth ielsew’here. The experience of shar- iing in the of a going group de- ;voted to more common concern, is an :important part of the process of edu¬cation for life in the modern world.
