Military observers in Budapest connected the heavy concentra- tions, pouring into the area in streams of $roop trahs and mo- torized columns, with Germany's urgent need fo more Rumanian oil to feed her massive military machine. (By The Associated Press) The French government extended the army zone to Paris Thursday night as German troops hammered deeper into France in the Sedan sector, some 130 miles to the north- east of Paris, and poised for a swift drive through Belgium to gain stra- tegic channel ports for a frontal as- saults on Great. Britain. The action of the French author- ities transferred from civil ;o mili- tary authorities control of the great French capital, normally of almost 3,000,000 population. French Admit German Advance With Premier Paul Reynaud stressing the "peril" of France but predicting ultimate defeat of the Nazis, the French admitted further German gains in the Sedan area. The French commander there de- clared, however, his forces were "complete masters of the situation" and would regain full control within a week. Authorized Berlin sources indi- cated the German right wing was being bolstered with troops, released as a result of The Netherlands ca- pitulation, to perfect the 1940 ver- sion of the celebrated Schleiffen plan to turn the French northern flank. Several million men are facing each other in this area, DNB, the German official news agency said, and reports from the front indicated an imminent attack of gargantuan proportions. The news agency re- lated that Brussels would be in Ger- man hands within a few days. Report Hand-To-Hand Fighting Germans conjecure that deep penetration of the Sedan sector might have the dual effect of forc- ing the Allies to pull out of the cen- ter and the west of Belgium, at the same time forcing withdrawal from the topmost section of the main Maginot ine On the northern plank of the sav- agely contested Meuse battlefield the British ,engaged in fierce hand-to- hand fighting with th?

Prof. Barnes Predicts End For England Foresees 'Defeat By Nazis From Without, Fascists From Within' In Lecture Says War Between 0ld, New 'hieves' England today is a nation guided by "evil, sanctimonious, double- crossing stooges," and is destined to defeat "either by Nazism from with- out or fascism within," in the opin- ion of Harry E. Barnes, New York social scientist and author. Europe's war today is a case of "old thieves versus new thieves; and the old thieves have the best man- ners but the new thieves have the best case," Barnes declared here Thursday in an address before 750 students and University faculty members. "This is no war of the old type," he explained, "it is a part of a great social revolution. It is speeding the tempo of change which began with the industrial revolution and which in our time was reflected in the New Deal." He continued: "This is no war between good and bad; between the democracies and totalitarianism. It is a war between two rival powers who have failed to provide for their people. "If your present population is to live satisfactorily we must have (1) collectivist governmnent (2) world- wide political unions, (3) produc- tion for use.--0 "Solutions could be achieved by civilized means, but when this fails Communism, Fascism and war re- sult. I'm certain that even if France and Britain are victorious on the battlefield the English Tories and the Bank of France are doomed because they failed to me'et the social crisis.

Competition for "place" and "show" positions was so close that judges H'ardin Van Deursen and Arthur Hackett, both of the School of Music, called back Kappa Sigma and Alpha Delta Phi, who finished in that order, for extra presenta- tions of their songs. Sigma Nu's rendition of "Sigma Nu Mother" won honorable mention. The Kappa Sigs sang "Kappa Sigma Mine," written especially for the Sing by Robert Reed, '42, a member of the fraternity; while the Alpha Delts presented "Hail to Thee, Fair Alpha Delta." Actress Mady Christians, who will play the lead in the forthcoming production of the Dramatic Season, "A Winter's Tale," attended the Sing and presented the cups to first, sec- ond and third place winners as the audience of 2,000 persons cheered. Diana Barrymore, originally sche- duled to award the trophies, was con- fined to her room with a cold yes- terday. "After hearing three of the five Sings," said Professor Hackett, "I * * wish to say that the latest edition certainly shows a great deal of im- provement which has been steady." Professor Hackett spoke after the announcement of winners, citing the cooperation of all fraternities in staging the Sing. Pi Beta Phi's Sorority Sextet, as a special feature of the program sang "My Pi Phi Girl," representing the 18 campus sororities whose mem- bers acted as sponsors of the 12 fraternities entered in the finals of the Sing. Sponsors rent the clouds above the campus with cheers as their chosen houses mounted the stage.

Davis, who travels under the ti- tle, "King of the Hoboes," will speak at 8 p.m. on "A Hash on Life." He will judge a hobo contest in which the most bedraggled member of the male sex will win a date with a cer- tain glamorous Mademoiselle Yvette, student Vote To Elect 10 On Thursday Members Of Publications, Athletic Board, Union Staff Will Be Selected Judiciary Council T o Conduct Voting All-campus election of three stu- dent members to the Board in Con- trol of Student Publications will be held Thursday, May 23, according to an announcement made yesterday. At the same time, six student vice- presidents of the Union and the one student member of the Board in Control of Athletics will be se- lected. The election will be conducted by the Men's Judiciary Council, which was organized a year ago partially replacing the self-abolished Men's Council. Ten candidates for the Board in Control of Student Publications have already been selected by the nom- inating committee of the present Publications Board headed by Philip Buchen, '42, and including retiring managing editors and business man-' agers of The Daily, Gargoyle and 'Ensian. The candidates are James Allen, '40; William Elmer, '41; My- ron Gins, '41; Albert P. Mayio, Grad, (incumbent), James Nielson, '41; Donald Richey, '41; Ganson P.

Petitions for candidacy for the six Union vice-presidential posts must contain, in addition to ten student signatures, those qualifica- tions which the candidate believes recommend him for the office. They must be filed in the Student Of- fices of the Union by 6 p.m. Monday. If the petitions are approved by the appointments committee of the Union the petitioner's name will be placed on the ballot.

Invulnerable Defense, Absolute Are Goals Of Armament Program; 0ngress Cheers Proposals . OF By RICHARD L. TURNER WASHINGTON, May 16. --P)--President Roosevelt solemnly warned a joint session of Congress today that unprepared nations find "themselves overrun by the enemy" and proposed a $1,182,000,000 program to make "our defenses invulnerable, our security absolute." At the center of his defense appeal was a call for planes, and more planes -for the expansion of America's capacity to produce aircraft until 50,000 can be turned out annually, and until an actual armada of 50,000 fighting --4>planes is ready to "meet any light- ning offensive against our American Riley Lectures interest." The sum he proposed will push On , jt * *next fiscal year's defense spending O n Ubjectives and contract authorizations to $3,- 276,000,000-by far the largest in Of Extensions peacetime history. A Congress tense with realization of the sweep of events abroad heard Educational Statesmanship Essential To Progress, Says Association Head Dean B. C. Riley of the University of Florida and president of the Na- toonal University Extension Associa- tion climaxed the second day of the Association's 25th annual confer- ence with a luncheon lecture on "Planning and Cooperating to At- tain University Extension Objectives" yesterday at the League. Dean Riley said that in order to continue progressive action univer- sity extension services must use less opportunism and more educational statesmanship. The progress made during the 25 years existence of the Association can be extended only if the extension service is departmental- ized according to subjects taught, he stated. Declaring that the work of a uni- versity's extension should be con- cerned with entire regional areas, in- stead of single states, Dean Riley add- ed that extension curriculum should be devoted to adult education that is not covered by schools, regular col- leges and other educational agencies. Prof. D. Walter Morton, of Syra- cuse University traced development of extension work of his school in one of the ,,everal group meetings on exten- sion techniqaes. Explaining the system of "collegiate centers" established in Syracuse, N.Y., under the auspices of the local, state, and college educators, Professor Mor- ton pointed out that the centers ex- tend the opportunity to attend night school classes to all interested in high- er education. Under this system the expenses are met equally by the three divisions of the state, local commun- ities and the state universities. the President, cheered him as he has seldom been cheered at the Capitol, Bill Introduced Almost immediatey, Chairman May (D-Ky) of the House Military Committee introduced a $726,000,000 army expansion bill, to authorize the acquisition of anti-aircraft equip- ment and ammunition, expedite the manufacture of munitions, modern- ize combat planes, train 15,000 new troops, and improve the defenses of the Panama Canal. "Surely," said the President, mea- suring his words and delivering them with marked deliberation, "the developments of the past few weeks have made it clear to all of our citizens that the possibility of at- tack on vital American zones ought to make it essential that we have the physical, the ready ability to meet those attacks and to prevent them from reaching their objective. Produce At Top Speed "This means military implements -not on paper-which are ready and available to meet any lightning offensive against our American in- terest. It means also that facilities for production must be ready to turn out munitions and equipment at top speed. "We have had the lesson before us over and over again-nations that were not ready .and were unable to get ready found themselves overrun by the enemy. So-called impreg- nable fortifications no longer exist. A defense which allows an enemy to consolidate his approach without hindrance will lose. A defense which makes no effective effort to destroy the lines of supplies and communi- cations of the enemy will lose. "An effective defense by its very nature requires trhe equipment to at- tack an aggressor on his route before he can establish strong bases within the territory of American vital in- terests."

"I was not trying to deprecate those who desire peace for America," he observed. "Up until a week ago I was totally insympathyhwith those people who thought the United States should stay out of Europe." Professor Hyma explained, how- ever, that he was born in Holland, that he feels a- bond to Holland and that he cannot, therefore, counten- ance an invasion of his native land. "Out of allegiance to Holland," he added, "I cannot but hope that America will go to her aid. My lis- teners should accept my statements with the realization that I am strongly disturbed by the invasion, which he considers unjustified. His charge of "potential traitors" in the campus peace organizations they should love residents of another country as they love their own peo- ple." This may be good idealism, he observed, but it dilutes patriotism and furnishes a rich market for "fifth column" activities. Not all of the Dutch "super-na- tionalists" actually became traitors, he pointed out. Probably few of them actively aided the Germans, but many more stood idly by while their country was being overrun. Professor Hyma explained that when asked at the termination of his speech what significance the Holland collapse had for America, he told his Adrian audience that there was at present a small element of Americans who would do as the Dutch super-nationalists had done, who would, in short, become traitors to their country. "That is an awful word," he com- mented, "but after seeing what hap- pened to Holland I cannot think of them in any other light." There is a small element-fewer than 1,000, he believes-on the campus, who stand for peace at any price. If war actually came to America, he pre- dicts that a very few of them would Incensed by the scent of the Big Ten pennant in the air, a title-hun- gry band of Wolverines will be out to claw into submission the Purdue ad- versaries that stand in the way of their title quest when the Varsity opens a two-game series with the Boilermakers here at 4 p.m .today. Thrown back in the thick of the Conference title struggle by the un- expected series of upsets last week- end, Michigan needs a clean sweep of the series to remain in the run- ning for the crown. From all appearances the Riveters from Lafayette don't appear to be go- ing anywhere in the Conference race' this year. Coach Dutch Fehring's men rest in ninth place in the stand- ings with a record of two victories and five defeats. Includedin the Boilermakers' de- feats is a setback at the hands of the last place Chicago team. Last week- end, Purdue was soundly drubbed twice by Illinois.
