...Michigan's James Couzens is the richest member of the U. S. Senate. He is also about its most independent. Nominally a Republican, he has given vast aid and comfort to the New Deal in the last three years. Up for renomination in the September primary, Senator Couzens is opposed by Michigan's onetime Governor Wilbur M. Brucker. Refusing to campaign for his seat, the onetime partner of Henry Ford went off for a yacht cruise, remarking: "I don't intend to compete with Brucker. If the people are dissatisfied with my work, I shall be content...
...emotion aside, the principal reason for this unparalleled political excitement over Negroes was mathematical. Outside the South, Oklahoma and Maryland, there are only nine States which have more than 100,000 Negro inhabitants. In Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York live some 2,500,000 Negroes, of whom over 1,000,000 are prospective voters this year. Moreover, in these same nine States the Roosevelt-Landon battle will be waged especially hard, with the result in each perhaps turning in favor of the party which can bag the largest Black vote...
Long before the Civil War a German known to medical history only as G settled in wild Washtenaw County, Michigan, near the village of Ann Arbor. As Indians withdrew into the northern forests, Pioneer G cleared woodlands, cultivated crops, bred children. When at the age of 60 he died of cancer of the intestines in 1856, he left ten children. Four of his five sons, two of his five daughters subsequently died of cancer. The third generation of G's numbered 70, of whom 33 died of cancer...
...fourth generation of this remarkable cancer family was breeding away when it came to the attention of the late (1866-1931) Professor Aldred Scott Warthin, University of Michigan pathologist. From an intelligent young woman of the family, who shortly after died of cancer, Professor Warthin got the family's genealogy and history. From medical records and his own observations he learned enough to state in 1913 that "in certain families [there is] an inherited susceptibility to cancer." By 1925, when he published a second study of the G family, Dr. Warthin was surer than ever of the "recessive familial...
Last week one of Dr. Warthin's associates, Professor Carl Vernon Weller, and one of his young graduates, Dr. Isador Jerome Hauser, published a third analysis of the G family which, now in its sixth Michigan generation, numbers 305 living and dead. In the American Journal of Cancer Drs. Hauser and Weller note that all members of this family have good reason to fear being stricken by the age of 25. Of the 174 living and dead who reached that age, 41 (23.6%) developed cancers of one sort or another. One noteworthy fact about this ill-fated family...
