I PAGE TWO THE MICHIGAN D)ATYZ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1938' Public Meeting Called On Train Discontinuance Chamber Of Commerce Is Sponsor Of Protest To MichiganCentral The transportation committee of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce will hold a public meeting today to discuss the possibility of persuading the Michigan Central Railroad to continue its commuting gasoline coach on the Ann Arbor-Detroit run. The railroad company recently an- nounced its intention of discontinu- ing the service Dec. 14. Many residents who have their business offices in Detroit and several University faculty members use the special coach constantly, Chamber of- ficials stated, and it is to the advan- tage of the community to see that this service is continued, they said. The service was obtained more than a year ago. It was estimated that an average of eight or nine persons use it daily, and at times the number reaches 12. It was contended by the Michigan Central office that fewer people use the train, and that the limited pat- ronage forces them to run it at a loss. The coach leaves Ann Arbor every moning at 7:45 and 11:15. Raymond Spokes, chairman of the tansportation committee, has con- ferred with executives of the New York Central Railroad, of which the Michigan Central is a subsidy, while in New York on business. It is ex- pected that he will return in time to speak at the meeting. Guard Bremen At Dock After Red Plot Scare Friend Of Official 'Hears' That Anti-Nazis Planned To Hurl Bomb At Ship NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The North German Lloyd liner Bremen, pride of the Nazi merchant marine and one of the largest and fastest boats in the North Atlantic trade, came ino port today under extraordinary guard. The marine superintendent of the line had heard from a friend that Communists allegedly had plotted to explode a bomb aboard her. Com- munists and other anti-Nazi organi- zations staged a demonstration aboard her July 26 in which sev- eral were injured and her Nazi flag was torn from its halyards and thrown into the Hudson. The Bremen reached quarantine last night and w.as met by the coast guard cutters Calumet and Icarus, two smaller coast guard boats, and a police launch. They stood by the great liner all night and escorted her up the harbor to her pier this morn- ing. Police said the usual heavy guard, maintained since the first riot that brought protests from the Ger- man government, would be augment- ed by three sergeants and 45 pa- trolmen. The liner was said to have in her holds $18,000,000 in gold consigned to New York banks, but police said no plot to steal her gold was suspected. TEXTILE EXPERT TO TALK Mrs. Adele C.

Moffit, '86L, a district judge in Iowa, also manages Potts Appointed Secretary For TrafficS qrad The appointment of Prof. Philip O. Potts of the engineering college. as corresponding secretary of the new Citizens Traffic Squad, was an- nounced at a luncheon held Thursday by that organization. The squad, which now numbers 36 members, will begin its activities next week. A similar group in Detroit is being used as a model for the squad, which hopes to reduce traffic tolls by a cam- paign in which violators will be sent courteous letters apprising them of their offences. Members will be given no police powers, but in the event of a serious accident, a report will be made to the police department at the discretion of the secretary, W. M. Strickland. An effort will be made to secure additional members through presenting the plan to various Ann Arbor service clubs and through re- cruiting by present members. New members will be accepted only if they are "responsible, capable and have the best interests of the organi- zation at heart," Mr. Strickland said. He urged the cooperation of all in the new program. Africa and Ann Arbor, though geo- graphically estranged, have been very close to each other through radio communication during the past year. The local participant in this rela- tionship is Dr. John D. Kraus, 30, an amateur radio operator and the son of Dean Edward H. Kraus of the lit- erary college. The story of this un- usual relationship is contained in the latest Michigan Alumnus. The operator in Africa with whom Kraus has been communicating is a Presbyterian missionary from Chat- tanooga, Tenn., who until lately has been unable to reach any other sta- tion in the United States besides Kraus. Since the first chance hook- up with Kraus, this relationship has proved most fortunate to the mis- sionary, for mail service in and out of the Congo is painfully slow. Sevenj weeks are required for a letter to reach the Congo from the Tennessee headquarters. Even the most urgent cablegrams cannot be delivered in less than two days, for that is the time it takes a native runner to covel' the distance from the mission to the cable office, the article states. This transmission of messages by radio from the missionary location 1,500 miles inland from the African west coast and five degrees south of the equator, to Ann Arbor, 7,000 miles distant, worked effectively for some months. "All Quiet on the Western Front," the war picture whose showing caused such a furor in Europe and the United States two years ago, will be shown at 8 p.m. Monday in Room 316, Michigan Union, by Dr. Francis Onderdonk, peace lecturer. The showing is free to the general public, and is sponsored by the League of Nations Association. The 11-reel film is, according to Dr. Onderdonk, apparently more com- plete than the version first shown at most theatres. It is a silent film pro- duced by Universal, with titles in- serted. Dr. Onderdonk will give a running comment and explanatory remarks during the showing. "This film is probably the mos'' fought-over of all films made," Dr. Onderdonk stated yesterday. "In Germany the Nazis staged riots when it was shown during the days of the Weimar republic, letting loose mice, snakes and malodorous bombs in the elegant Berlin theatres where it was shown, with Dr. Goebbels delivering inflammatory speeches to the crowd outside the theatre. "In Vienna likewise, riots occurred, and only after the intervention of the American minister did the police as- sure undisturbed performances," Dr. Onderdonk said.
