Woolley, one of the world’s best known educators, has recently re- tired as president of Mount Holy- oke college, after occupying that post thirty-seven years. Now, as she is moving from the presi- dent’s house she tells the Asso- ciated Press in an interview of her plans for starting a “new life at the age of 74.” (By MARY ELIZABETH PLUMMER) South Hadley, Mass., July 19.—(?)— Dr. Mary E. Woolley is ready to move fram miaple-shaded Mount Holyoke college, of which she was president for thirty-seven years, to a life of active retirement, in which she will read in- tensively, write, and work for world peace. “T’d like to accomplish a great deal more than I have,” the 74 year old educator and champion of interna- tional understanding said Monday. “It will be a busy time—but I hope a ra- tional time, To Leave Pressure “I want to stop living under pres- sure for awhile. I have lived many years turning from one thing to an- other as quickly as possible in order to accomplish what I’ve promised: ““Now I shall have time to ‘read around’ a thing; to prepare a talk the way I want it given. I want the sat- isfaction of knowing that it is done as well as it can be done. “Of course, you can’t give up a piece of work to which you have de- voted half of your life without a cer- tain regret. But I feel that this, too, is an opportunity. “Why shouldn’t one start life at 74 as well as at 40?” Dr. Woolley, who retired a few weeks ago, will continue her work as chairman of the people's mandate to governments to end war; chairman of the committee on international rela- tions of the American Association of University Women, and chairman of the co-operating commission of wom- en in the federal council of churches —interests she had during her long Mount Holyoke administration. Will Promote Peace “I am determined,” she said, “to use every effort as long as I live to help keep not only this nation but other nations out of war.” In two weeks, she will leave the campus to which she came, at 38, as head of the pioneer institution in America for the higher education of women, Next spring, she may go to South America for three or four months— “an unofficial trip, but not idle.” Eventually, she may write an auto- biography—may tell how she saw young women graduate.from Mount Holyoke, and their daughters come to take their places two decades lat- cri of Bee Oars at Geneva, as the woman delegate to an interps- tional disarmament conference; and back further, of her student days at Brown university, which gave her the first’ bachelor’s, degree’ Brown ever granted a woman. Doesn’t Feel Old “I don’t feel old,” she said. —‘ haps because I’ve lived among young people. . “If I had my life to live over, I would be a teacher again, I am sure. Without a doubt. “There are tremendous problems confronting education,” Dr. Woolley continued. “How are people going to live together? . “Education faces the responsibility of answering that question. . . Jess it does, what is going to become of the world?” Turning to the status of women, she said: “I am a little disturbed. In the last few years there has been a retrogres- sion.

INDUSTRY BORROWED $378,000,000 FOR/s: WORK, RECORDS SAY Expansion of Plants and New Equipment Claimed Large Share of Money Washington, July .19—(%)—Securi- ties commission records showed Mon- day that business recovery sent in- dustry to the financial markets for $378,000,000 to finance expansion of plants, equipment and _ inventories during the first half of this year. Registration statements disclosed plans to build new paper mills in Flor- ida and Washington, copper plants in Arizona, distillery warehouses Indiana, chemical plants in the east, roofing plants in New Jresy, pipe- lines in Kansas, utilities in Connec- ticut, Ohio and Texas, a brass mill in Connecticut, a steel mill in Indiana and scores of other projects. During the half year, companies met legal requirements for selling se- curities calling for $13,000,000 to be spent directly on plant and equipment and $265,000,000 to be added to work- ing capital and spent for expansion or similar purposes. Officials de- scribed these two types of issues as “new money” financing, as dis- tinguished from refunding, debt re- tirement or investment. The statements of the companies, however, indicated these construction financing securities are only part of @ much more vast industrial expan- sion movement. The Phelps-Dodge corporations, for instance, issued $20,- 285,000 worth of securities but ex- plained they were only part payment on a $40,856,000 project for its copper * sat Morenci and Just before the recent. strike began, the Inland Steel company registered $8,700,000 worth of securities intended to help pay for $16,000,000 worth of improvements in progress at Indiana harbor, Ind., and $5,200,000 worth of future construction. .|One of ‘4 Horsemen,’ : | Purdue Coach, Is Il e Lafayette, Ind., July 19.—(#)—Noble Kiser, one of the seven husky “mules” who paced the gridiron at- tacks of Knute Rochne’s “Four Horsemen” at, Notre Dame more than a decade ago, battled for his life in St. Elizabeth's hospital here Monday.

TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JULY 19, 1987 [iv ater ]HELP OF PIBUG 1S [Tver STATE HGH SCHOOL AD TO POLE SAYS “HOOVER IN LETTER Asserts ‘Interested and Active Public’ Is Boon to Criminal Catchers Interest and activity on the part of the public is hebapiss in police work, according to a letter from J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, received Monday by The Tribune. The letter referred to the editorial entitled “Modern Police” which sp- peared in The Tribune on June 24 and which had been called to his at- tention. The editorial in question demands of them. As G-Man Sees Issue Discussing the relation of the pub- lc to police work, a subject on which ‘Tribune recently disagreed with ner Bismarck police work, Hoover “The problem of crime detection and apprehension is difficult and satisfactory results are obtained only after hard work. This task is more easily accomplished through the as- sistance and co-operation given by all law-enforcement agencies. One means of promoting this co-operation and assistance and likewise spread- ing the doctrine of scientific crime detection is through the National Po- lice Academy, the results of which already have been felt in law-en- forcemnet circles. “Through efforts of this type and other police schools which have been established throughout the country, aided by an interested and active pub- lic, we will approach our goal of ef- ficient, scientific crime detection.” Comment Was Spontaneous Hoover’s comment was wholly in| Spontaneous, as was his reference to the “interested and active public.” So far as is known here he had no know!l- edge of the disagreement in attitude between the Bismarck police depart- ment and The Tribune. Meanwhile, a check-up Monday dis- closed that no women have been at- tacked in Bismarck since a group of interested citizens offered a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the so-called “phantom.” . Neither has anyone been arrested or convicted, despite rumors to. the contrary. The attacks seem to have stopped as suddenly as they began. Whether the “phantom” became afraid of the public or of the police is a matter on which there may be difference of opinion. Labor Shortage for Harvest Is Prospect bag elie d 19—-(P)—A new aoe ache— -shortage — plagued the American farmer Monday as he swung into the most bountiful harvest in several years. In the midwest grain belt, in the northeast and throughout the vegeta- ble-growing region, farmers reported harvest crews shorthanded. And they were offering, federal statistics said, the highest wages since 1930 for farmhands. Farmers, the statisticians said, could not get an adequate supply of labor with few unemployed men seek- ing agricultural work. Work progress administration pay- rolls in 13 states showed a decline after officials announced men would be permitted to quit jobs on projects to work in the midwest harvests. The men, if atill in need, officials said, will be re-employed within 90 days.

She said that where a ton of one type of coal produces a certain amount. of heat, an institution sometimes must use more than one ton of another kind to obtain the same heating value. Also, the board considers whatever recommendations are made by insti- tutional heads on the basis of their experience and perference, Mrs. Uls- rud stated. Another item of study is the checking of freight rates from the sources of the coal to the institution, since cost of coal at the institution varies with the distance of shipment from the bidders’ supplies, she said. The complete list of bids entered by the coal companies for supplying the various institutions, Tungsten, the metal of which the tilaments of most incandescent lamps adel made, is nearly twice as heavy an . i PLUMBING “By Men Who Know How” Consult us on all H.
