British Back Paris
To Thwart Italian
Thrust At Tunisia
ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, DEC. 4, 1938-
Fascist Action Threatens
Final Blow To Policy
Of Chamberlain Group
British Diplomats
Mav Not Visit Duce
LONDON, Dec. 3.-(P)--Great
Britain backed France today by de-
ciding on diplomatic action to block
Italian designs on Tunisia, French
African Protectorate.
The Fascist challenge to French
control of Tunisia has threatened
to deliver a final blow to Prime Min-
ister Neville Chamberlain's European
appeasement policy, already weak-
ened by Germany's anti-Semitic
campaign:
The Tunisian development led For-
eign Secretary Viscount Halifax to
order immediate strong representa-
tions at the Italian foreign office.
With vital English and French'
strategic interests in the Mediter-
ranean involved, Lord Halifax, re-
liable quarters said, ordered Britain's
ambassador to Rome, the Earl of
Perth, to take a "firm stand" against
Italy's latest anti-French drive.
Rift Looms
This drive threatened to wreck
Chamberlan's projected. visit to
Rome. First announced Monday,
the trip was set today for Jan. 11 to
14. The Foreign Office announced
the date, however, amid conjecture
that Chamberlain might not go at all
as a result of the French-Italian fric-
tion.
The situation still was far from
settled and there were some who
felt the fast-changing European
scene might yet shift enough to force
a reconsideration of the visit. Lord
Halifax is to accompany the Prime
Minister.
The issue cropped up suddenly
Wednesday when deputies of the
Italian chamber shouted "Tunisia,
Tunisia!" in unison after an address
by Italian Foreign Minister Count
Galeazzo Ciano. The demonstration
was led by Achille Starace, Secretary-
General of the Fascist Party.
Faso'st Press Bitter
The controlled Italian Press fol-
lowed with attacks upon France. The
demonstration went without rebuke
by the Italian government.
Rome contended today that France
misunderstood "the new Italy and its
natural aspirations" and was using
the Fascist 'outcry for Tunisia to
sabotage Chamberlain's good-will
visit to Rome. Count Ciano dis-
avowed any official responsibility for
the Tunisia demonstrations.
Reliable observers in both London
and Paris, howver, saw Italy's anti-
French drive as an integral part of
the totalitarian post-Munich cam-
paign to squeeze more concessions out
of the democracies.

Austen's Play
Tickets To Go
On Sale Soon
McArthur, Braus, Brandt
And Klauser To Be In
'Pride And_Prejudice'
Tickets for Play Production's pre-
sentation of Jane Austen's famous
"Pride and Prejudice" to open Thurs-
day night at the Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre will go on sale at 10 a.m, to-
morrow at the box office.
Karl Klauser, '39, Miriam Braus,
Lorene Brandt, and Rosemary Mc-
Arthur, '40, Will play the largest parts
in the well-known play that was
adapted from the novel for stage pre-
sentation by Helen Jerome.
"Pride and Prejudice" was ac-
claimed by critics when it ran on
Broadway last year. It is the story of
a young woman of modest station,
Elizabeth Bennet, played by Miss
Braus, who is prejudiced against a
wealthy, priggish young man, Mr.
Darcy, played by Klauser. She fin-
ally comes to realize his personal
honor and changes her attitude to-
ward him. The play is essentially
a sketch of the family in Victorian
times, with the social customs re-
garding marriage, match-making,
manners, and fancy costumes woven
in skillfully by Helen Jerome, who
was described by Brooks Atkinson
of the New York Times as an "irre-
pressible wit." Atkinson reviewed the
play as "full of salty lines . . . shim-
mering with delicious satire."
Play Production's last play Coun-
selor-at-Law" was a complete sellout
for two of its three nights, Raskin
said.

GM Charges
UAW Broke
Strike Pact
Walkout At Flint Factory
Is Authorized By Union
Over Issue Of Piecework
U.S. Sends Mediator
To Seek Settlement
DETROIT, Dec. 3-(-P)-General
Motors Corp. sent a "demand" to the
United Automobile Workers tonight
for immediate cancellation of a strike
in Fisher Body Plant No. 1 at Flint,
asserting that the Union had violat-
ed its agreement with the corpora-
tion by authorizing the walkout.
The demand was conained in a
telegram sent by C. E. Wi on, Gen-
eral Motors vice-president, to HomerJ
Martin, International President of
the UAW, a few hours after Martin
had announced that the strike was
"duly authorized" and denied that it
violated the UAW-GM agreement.
Wage Basis Issue
Substitution of a day-work basis
of pay for piecework in one depart-
ment of the Fisher Plant is the major
issue in the strike, which already has
affected 6,400 Fisher employes and
3,000 workers on the final assembly
line of the General Motors Buick
division plant at Flint. General Mo-
tors officials said the strike, if pro-
longed, would close the entire Buick
factory, which employs about 14,000
men. The Fisher Plant supplies auto-
mobile bodies for Buick.
The United States Department of
Labor announced at Washington that
James F. Dewey, its ace mediator,
had been sent to Michigan to seek
a settlement of the dispute. Dewey,
who, will arrive tomorrow, will be on
familiar grounds for he participated
in negotiations that led to a settle-
ment of the protracted General Mo-
tors strike of 1937.a
Contract BrokenI
Wilson's telegram to Martin said:
"Your authorization of the strike
at Fisher No. 1 Plant is in direct vio-
lation of our agreement with your or-
ganization which provides that there
shall be no strikes until after all
steps set forth in the grievance pro-
cedure have been exhausted without
success. The issue in this case has{
not been appealed from the last of-
fer of the plant management to adopt1
a day work plan provided the union
would give guarantees to the manage-
ment that production would be main-
tained and labor costs not increased
by slowdowns. We demand that this
strike be 'called off at once, and the
issue be appealed in accordance with
your agreement."
The appeals referred to would be to
corporation officials.1
Previously, a telegram from Martin
to George C. Paterson, the Flint man-
ager, asking that negotiations be
started immediately, brought a reply
from Paterson which said: "I have
negotiated with your committee con-
cerning the matter at issue several
times and expected there would be
further negotiations. But as the plant
is now shut down by a strike in viola-
tion of the agreement between Gen-
eral Motors Corp. and the UAWA, the
matter has been referred to the cor-
poration in Detroit."
Freshmen To Hear Dawson

For ILeikkinen
Is Announced
Ralph Heikkinen, Michigan's great
guard, who has placed on virtually
every All-American team which has
appeared this season, gained further
honors yesterday when he was named
to the Associated Press first team.
Johnny Pingel, Michigan State's
triple-threat halfback was also hon-
ored with a first team berth on the
AP eleven which, along with Grant-
land Rice's team, is considered one
of the two most authoritative mythi-
cal teams picked each year.
Of Heikkinen, the news syndicate
said "An all Big Ten gtard for two
years, Heikkinen tears down under
punts, pulls out of the line to lead
interference and tackles hard. He is
Michigan's first All-American in five
years.
A 60-minute performer, seldom
fooled by intricate maneuvers, Heik-
kinen is regarded by Coach Fritz
Crisler as the finest guard he has
ever seen."
Seven Michigan players were
awarded honorable mention on the
All-American team. They were Tom
Harmon, Forest Evashevski, Paul
Kromer and Norm Purucker, backs;
Capt. Fred Janke and Don Siegel,
tackles; and Captain-elect Archie,

Swinton Lauds
Noted Speaker
Dr. D. W. Mead To Appear
In RackhamBuilding
Dr. Daniel Webster Mead, who will
speak on "Professional Ethics From
the Stand-Point of An Engineer" at
4 p.m. Tuesday in the Rackham
building, is "one of the great leaders
in his field," according to Prof. R. S.
Swinton, chairman of the Engineer-
ing Committee on Professional Eth-
ics.
A graduatae of Cornell in 1884, Dr.
Mead immediately joined up with the
U.S. Geological Survey but soon left
it to become a consulting engineer on
hydraulic works.and power plants. He
has kept up this work ever since.
In 1904 he became a professor of
hydraulic and sanitary engine'ering
at the University of Wisconsin. At
Wisconsin he won his Ph.D. In 1932
he retired with the rank of Professor-
Emeritus. He was president of the
American Society of Civil Engineers
in 1936.
"In a distinguished career," Profes-
sor Swinton said, "he has done much
for the profession of engineering."
His work includes membership on the
Red Cross commission to China in
1914, which did extensive flood-con-
trol work on the Huai River. Presi-
dent Calvin Coolidge appointed Dr.
Mead a member of the Colorado Riv-
er Board which passed on the Bould-
er Dam project in 1998. He was also
consulting engineer on $30,000,000
worth of projects for the Miami Con-
servancy District between 1913-20.
Girl's Co-op Meets Today
Nazis Decree
Ghetto Areas
For All Jews
Medieval Practice Revived
In Defiance Of Recent
Promises To Contrary
Demand Permits
To Leave District
BERLIN, Dec. 3-OP)-An order by
Berlin's chief of police today revived
a medieval practice of forbidding
Jews access to certain streets and
quarters, despite recent assurances of
Nazi leaders there was no intention to
establish Jewish ghettos in Germany.
Henceforth German Jews-those of
foreign nationality are exempt-are
forbidden to appear on some of the
capital's principal streets, in public
buildings, national memorials, thea-
ters and other public places.
Jews living in the restricted areas
must obtain police permits to enter
or leave the districts.
The order of Count Wolf Hendrich
Von Helldorf is effective Dec. 6, and
was officially described as inaugurat-
ing further restrictions on the move-
ments of Jews.
It excludes them from the so-called
Government quarter of the Wilhelm-
strasse and the Vosstrasse, where Nazi
Party headquarters and many public
resorts are located..
The police passes for entry and exit
to the forbidden areas will not be
issued July 1, 1939, police already
have announced, however.
Failure of a Jew to produce the
police pass in the forbidden districts
would be punished by a fine of 150
marks ($60) or imprisonment up to
six weeks.
Police answered only that the ban
would not be extended to certain
quarters in the Center and North
Sides of Berlin-which already are
largely inhabited by Jews-to in-
quiries as to what further sections of
the city would be available for Jewish
residents.
Jews living in the fashionable West
End sections of the city were bland,
ly advised to try to exchange apart-
ments with Gentiles now living in
what generally are known as slum
districts. House owners can eject Jews
without notice.
Heinrich Himmler, chief of all Ger-
man police, also issued a decree with-
drawing from Jews all drivers' licenses
and automobile and motorcycle per-
mits.

He could make his mark if he would

Charlotte Bauchat, '41: "The great-
est writer today is George Bernard
Shaw. His wit and philosophy will
certainly stand in years to come.
Margaret Mitchell's work may pos-
sibly stand the test of time. And
you can't leave out Noel Coward, for
versatility and sheer genius of pro-
duction."
Marley Drake, Grad.: "The novels

their intrinsic value, but because they

century life, however overdrawn. The
