T HE M I CH IGA N D A ILY PA4""Mi PAGE THREE 'Oxford Pledge' Is Endorsed B Std URent Union Policy Adopted Despite Heated Opposition In Own Ranks (By Associated Collegiate Press) COLUMBUS, 0. Jan. 18. - Despite heated opposition from within its own ranks, and in the face of "Com- munistic" and "revolutionary" charge from the American Legion, the Amer- in Stuen Union endorssed the Ox United States in any war it mighc conduct, at its convention here. The union, recently formed by a mer~ger of the National Student League and the Student League for Industrial Democracy, adopted the endorsement resolution by a 244 to 49 vote. Meanwhile meeting at Kan- sas City, the National Student Fed- eration voted, by 49 to 13, not to bear arms outside the United States. Ed Kinney, member of the Officers Club of the R.O.T.C., C.C.N.Y., and a member of the resolutions committee of the student union, asserted that "passage of this resolution definitely labels the student union as a 'radical' organization. Kinney ind others fought the res- olution on the grounds that the "Ox- ford Pledge" should be optional with the individual members, and that its endorsement would keep prospective members from enrolling. American Legion heads, asking that the union delegates be requested to leave their convention headquarters in the Y.M.C.A. building here, charged that they were "known Communists" and part of "a revolutionary move- ment against the government." In- ability to get a quorum -of the Y.W.- C.A. directors prevented action.

I I ( { I i I I I C C I C 1 i 1 C C ( I Predicts Auto Windshields Will Be Unbreakable By Use Of Plastics By WILLIAM SHACKLETON That the houses, furniture, auto- mobiles, typewriters - and just about everything else of a material nature --of the future may be made not of metal or wood or glass but of artifi- cial plastics such as bakelite, pyrox- alin, and rubber and synthetic rubber products was the fascinating possi- bility held out by Prof. F. ,E. Bartell of the chemistry department yester- day. "Hardly a week passes"- Professor Bartell pointed out, "without some new adaptation of plastics being made. Refrigerators, doors, automo- bile gears are some examples of plas- :ics' intrusion in the former domain )f other substances. Probably auto- nobile windshields will soon be prac- tically unbreakable as plastics replace glass there." Plastics are very nearly an ideal construction,A Professor B art em expensive in the pure state as present, their usable volume can be greatly ncreased during manufacture by the a.ddition of wood filler. Also there .s available an almost unlimited sup- pAy of the raw materials from which the plastics are synthesized. From their natural composition and the large proportion of wood filler used, commercial plastics are as light or lighter than most woods, utare much stronger. Bescause teir by air, moisture, and practically all )ther corrosive substances, they can be left unprotected out-of-doors for Te fiact etha dsplastics are almost unbreakable under most conditions should give them another advantage over their rivals. When research has developed somewhat cheaper man- ufacturing methods for transparent PO AMS BIDS STATIONERY THE ATHENS PRESS Downtown, North of Postoffice plastics, glass may well look to its markets. Plastics are readily made fireproof too, Professor Bartell stat- ed. Still other important properties of the plastics include their non-con- ductivity of electricity, hardness, and naturally lustrous appearance which makes them decorative as well as use- ful. Present applications of the various plastic substances mentioned by Pro- fessor Bartell ranged from drinking cups to steamship interiors and frame work and from arm-chairs to golf clubs. However, that is only a drop in the bucket to the application which he foresees in the future, applica- tions which hq believes may introduce the "Plastic Age." Fssm I S ubject Of Weekl60Iy Forum DFascism - An Alternative to Democracy" is the topic chosen for discussion by the Ann Arbor Com- held at 4 pm. toay inthe auditoriumn' othPerry Sho. Questions and discussions by mem- bers of the audience will constitute the major part of the forum session. Discussion leaders will be Prof. Rob- ert C. Angell of the sociology depart- ment, and Mr. Russell West, teacher of social studies at Ann Arbor High School. "Communism - An Alternative to Democracy" has been announced as the subject of the next forum ses- sion to be held on Feb. 2. Christian Will Give Two Organ Recitals Palmer Christian, University organ- ist, will appear in two recitals before the close of the current semester at 4:15 p.m. today and Wednesday, Jan. 29. For today's concert, Mr. Christian has chosen a program by famous French organists from the time of Couperin down to the present, choos- ing, as far as is consistent with a balanced program, examples from their compositions that have reached popularity. This program will open with the B minor Prelude and Fugue by Bach, as a tribute to the great devotion French organists have had for this master composer. The program Jan. 29 will contain three works by American composers that have been dedicated to Mr. Christian: a Sonata for organ by Philip James, the Suite entitled "A Chinese Garden" by Eric DeLamar- ter and Leo Sowerby's Choral Pre- lude on the familiar hymn-tune "Re- joice, Ye Pure in Heart."
