More rain was forecast for Mich igan Tuesday by the United States Weather Bureau after Monday afternoon's sun drove the mercury in Detroit to the highest point this year, 78, in the. late afternoon. The rainfall probably will be light but will be general In the State, forecasters said, and will lower temperatures considerably.

The flood extended for approximately eight miles along the stream, which runs through Riverside Park, a half mile south of Plymouth, covering drives and walks and farmlands, and threatening five small foot bridges in the park. Although the bridges weie entirely submerged, engineers said that, if there was no further rise, the structures probably would need only repairs.

The announcement came simultaneously with the statement by C. O.

Figures tabulated over the weekend showed all stores reporting gains of from 27 to 110 per cent in sales volume for Friday and Saturday, as compared with the corresponding days of 1932.

PHONli RAndolph 9400 Bans on City scrip went into effect in several downtown stores Monday afternoon, immediately after $3,600,000 had been released to 27.000 municipal employees as their second scrip pay day. In many establishments future acceptances will bo limited to past duo charge accounts of City employees. A formal outline of policy whs adopted at a meeting of the Retail Merchants' Association, at which all downtown stores were represented. Harvey Campbell, acting secretary, made the following announcement: "In gathering information from the various merchants, it was learned that approximately a million dollars In scrip had been received by them up to last Saturday night Approximately 20 stores nad taken in $600,000 worth of scrip. "The stores are, of course, limited in their ability to accept scrip up to the amount of their taxes, and as a result, an increasing number of stores are reaching these limits, particularly on new purchases.

Most of the stores arc continuing to accept scrip on charge accounts, but this, too, will doubtless have to be discontinued at an early date." 'Coming In Rapidly' Oscar Webber, general manager nf The J. L. Hudson announced: "City scrip has been coming in so rapidly that we have now accepted almost suttlclent to pay our entire City tax bill for this year. "Therefore, effective at once, no further purchase certificates can be used in exchange for City scrip. "Scrip will be received on charge accounts of City employees only for balances actually due us on May 1, but cannot he received for future charge purchases." Similar restrictions were announced by the Michigan Bell Telephone Co.

Properly identified City employees were paying their bill's at the Detroit, Edison Co. and the City Gas Co. with scrip. The Common Council passed an appropriation of $45,000 to pay for the additional $8,000,000 of scrip which was ordered last week, raising the grand total of the certificates to $18,000,000. The Council resolved informally ti authorize Recorder's Court to take scrip on fines.

Frank N. Isbey, chairman of the Scrip Committee of the Common Council, launched his final drive Monday to sell tax anticipation notes and raise money for municipal employee. salaries. "The next 72 hours should determine the success of the scrip sales campaign," Mr. Isbey stated.

"The industrial group did not tell me that a SO per rent pay cut is their Aim. I don't want them scared away by a misunderstanding about a pay cut for municipal workers. 'Stop Swinging Axes' "Stop swinging axes for a few days." he urged, "and then, if results are not satisfactory, we might all swing them together." Councilman Richard Lindsay criticized members of the Industrial Ktoup for not appearing at the noon meeting which was called especially to hear their views. Councilman John VV. Smith attacked one of the group's leaders for not carrying to completion the $20,000,000 tax anticipation bond issue and for his failure to subscribe to the scrip issue.

Mr. Isbey'a final Instructions were given by Councilman John W. Lodge. "Tell the group," he Raid, "to read one line of the charter. It says: "All meetings of the Council and any committee thereof shall be Pearl Buck Resigns Post as Missionary NEW YORK, May 1-U.

S. Buck, author, has resigned as a missionary of the Presbyterian Church in China, it was announced today. Through her publishers, Mrs. Buck issued the following statement: "After various preliminary conversations and without appearing before the hoard, Mrs. Buck has requested that she he permitted to retire from active connection with he Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and at its meeting on Monday (today) the hoard accepted her resignation with regrets." Mrs.

Buck became the center of a controversy within the church because of speeches and writings in this Country. Some of her religious views were attacked as heretical.

"He did it! He did it!" everybody was saying to everybody else. Years later when our people were more inured to thrills, all mankind held its breath and with fast-beating hearts waited for more than 30 hours as Charles A. Lindbergh winged his way across the Atlantic to Paris. And when had arrived the world went mad with acclaim and adoration. "He made it! He made it! He did It!" the human lace gasped in one mighty chorus.

In a far larger, far more significant, far more dramatic situation there has swept over the world just such a feeling of joyous anticipation and agonizing intensity of wonderment relation to what is Kiin on Washington today. Hysteria nf Faith and Hope It is a national hysteria of faith and hope, not unmixed with charity, pinned upon and concentrated In the personality of one man wno now sits in the White House as the new President of the UniieJ state. No such amazing phenomenon of national psychology lias ever before been known in the of this Country nor of any other ancient or modern. Franklin D. has captured the fancy of the people.

Right or wron in his program, he is ihem a show, a cosmic drama which has fascinated them and held them enthralled. It li something deep, intangible, gripping, unreasoned non-political, non-economic, unanalyzeable. It is the iriumph ol a magnetic personality emerging from the smoke screen of politics which It was hidden during the campaign and all during ihe years when hi wai Governor of New York using that office merely as a steppn j-stone to the White House. Dynamic Force Wins I'liliHc Whether his proposed program spells ruin or salvation is not the purpose of this article to discuss. The startling, amazing historical fact which will be ttudied by historians In the centuries to come is the manner in which, March 4.

a new dynamic has come into our lives and captivated a people as no other man ever has before. That is the first, the bigge-i and the most fundamental fact tn considered before one can get an understanding of revolution that is now going on in our form of government and even in our thought processes. I have spent a week in New York and Washington, at the Associated Press meeting, the American Newspaper Publishers' Association Convention i New York and at the annua' gathering of the American Society of Newspaper Editors in Washington. Heie in thee three sessions were gathered the editors of the United Stales from our biggest to our crossroads weeklies, men from every state in the Union who are close to the pulse of tr. people, men of every variety of political and economic Everyone of them sense the inherent drama and melodrama -of the situation, the political metempsychosis of a nation's soul.

Talks With Many Leaders talked with ard listened to Ihe leaders of Wall Street, hankers, industrial leaden, mercantile chiefs, statesmen, politicians and political writers ot world fame; college professors, economists, sociologists and historians; with the. man in the street and with the President of the United States himself. The. reactions of these many with whom I came Into conUirt fall naturally Into two lines of thought (or should we say One, the thinking type, looks upon the gigantic moves on the chessboard of history philosophically, seeking to analyze and grasp Imponderable values. Invariably this type begins with an "if." They start speaking their minds by saying "If the President can achieve this or "If he does not abuse this power or "If he can hold the faith of the people Always there are "ifs." The other line of thought is of the great, unthinking mass, made up of wealth and poverty, the intellectual and 'he ntoronic the instinct whi'-h love's all men.

the Infe'tious tpirit v'lirh mnkcT for well as the -rwrt cnrni which holds A vet In a thca'ei as a fascinated collective unit. This mass mind that is swept by emotions and without the power of analysis, presents the melodrama of life through which great world changes who walk with seven-league boots over the pages of all history. Some of the outstanding instances of this phenomenon can be found in the frenzied hero worship of Dewey after the battle of Manila Bay and of Lindbergh after his flight. In lesser vein we have the Steve Brodles. the movie stars, the baseball and football heroes and the channel swimmers.

After years of quiet decorum and severe dignity in the White House, the people were hungry for a hero to worship. They have found him In Franklin D. Roosevelt, the master showman of the age and the. most astute politician to date who ever has sat in tha White House. I do not use that word "politician" disparagingly, but in its finest dictionary sense.

Two Attitudes of Mind I can best describe the two different attitudes of mind toward Mr. Roosevelt, by the most familiar quotations used In seeking to express that attitude. I heard a half-dozen times during the week from serious analytical students of political history, the lines from Tennyson "7' fie nM cirihr rhiii.titth. yirld- iny phice In tu ir Ami Gin! lulfilln him nel til VUIIIII Lent one good citilniii should rnrrupl the world." And make no mistake about that. The old order is changing; changing with a rapidity that will startle even the historians in the generations to come who will ponder on the mutability of mankind's saga.

In less serious mood the other quotation most often heard was from a song popular during the war days and sung by soldiers about to embark. That line runs: "We don't know where we are going but we're on our way." A Nation Gets Action Some would attribute his capture of the people's hero worship to the fact that he made possible the return of beer. This would be only in part true, but it has helped a lot. Even more important than beer is that they are seeing action, action, action. It was Dempsey's speed in the prize ring that the crowds loved, not the science of Tunney.

And as for beer, there is more to the psychology of it than just the mere quailing of a foaming mug after a dozen years of legal aridity. As the development of radio manufacture broke the dam of one depression, many who have no interest at all in beer as a beverage see in it another break from our economic lethargy. Down in New York, for example, they are selling beer everywhere at soda fountains, drygoods stores, candy stands and even on the sidewalks. The breweries are working night and day shifts. Orders for trucks are pouring into Detroit and bottle and glass manufacturers are working desperately to meet the demands.

Bakeries cannot turn out enough pretzels. And even the farmers of New York arc joyously happy. Farmers Work Day and Night Six months ago the dairies of New York were in the depths of despond. They could not sell their milk or butter and cheese was a drug on the market. Today there la actually such a cheese shortage in New York that it has become a famine.

Folks just insist on having cheese with their beer. The farmers are working night and day, prices ate soaring and business Is booming. "Try and make any of that bunch say that Roosevelt is not the greatest man on earth," said one disgusted old-line Republican to me as we stood at tjie corner of Forty-second and Broadway and watched the mobs milling around an open saloon openly arrived at. It had been a great open air orange juice stend. Beer has succeeded the vitamin argument for sunny California.

Whst once were grape juice stands now sell wine. Pictures of Roosevelt abound everywhere. He is worshipped as fanatically as a Moslem turns to Mohammed. To get some Inkling of the immensity of the changes in our form of government and our aspect toward it, consider this: Starting with Andrew Jackson and his abolishment of the National Bank, we can go on down through the history of our Government pnrl s-e whole enm-ni'-ps extending ovrr numy vrrs tht vrre not es important pi moves are being made end decided upn every spring afternoon in Washington in these times, very often with only casual comment.
