In addition, the leadership indicat- ed strongly that it soon would be ready with an amendment intended to relax the measure's severe restric- tions on the wartime operations of' American merchant ships. Tactical Maneuver Involved Separately, or in combination, these concessions involved a tactical ma- neuver of much significance in the present controversy. A number of Senators who favor repealing the em- bargo are strongly opposed to the credit and shipping provisions of the bill. By meeting their criticisms, the leadership felt that it could nail down their votes on the more im- portant embargo question. Then, too,, the leaders hoped that by reducing the points of contro- versy contained in the bill, much time-consuming debate might be avoided and a final vote correspond- U.S. Should Offer Peace Plan Immediately, Slosson Believes 150 Attend ii Prof essor. Says Proposal Is Important. Although Success IsUnlikely JBy WILLIAM NEWTON The United States should make peace proposals at once to the nations engaged :in the Second World War, Prof. Preston W. Slosson, of the his- tory department, said yesterday. While the prospects for an imm=-. diate peace are "nil," Professor 8los-{ son continued, we should make the proposals to show definitely how we feel about the war and to make what may prove to be a rallying point when, both sides have become worn-out. It Maria Talk Tickets To Go On Sale Today 5 (v l is important that we show the world today "what our government feels to be the terms of a permanent peace which is just and can be enforced, he said. Plan Must Reestablish Poland A peace plan which would be con- sidered by France and England would have to contain a clause reestablish- ing the independence of Poland- something which is absolutely con- trary to German aims, he said. It is foolish, Professor Slosson explained, fto think of Germany's abandoning as easy a conquest as Poland. It is equallyr foolish, he pointed out, to think of England and France ever renouncing their war aims and grant- ing a 'German victory. "Despite the fact that I can see no chance for an immediate end to host- tilities, President Roosevelt should offer to act as mediator for the war- ring powers and present them with a plan which seems to be a lead, to lasting peace," said Professor Slosson. This plan would have to contain guarantees that peace would and could be maintained, he went on, regardless of the aims and ambitions of any nation or group of nations. Would Limit Armaments The ideal peace proposal, he said, would contain a clause which empha- sized limitations of armaments and periodic- inspections to ensure their permanent limitation. This would not only keep armies and naVies small, but it would prevent ill feeling from developing between nations because of suspicions of breach of faith, he pointed out. Compulsory arbitration of all in- ternational disputes, Profesor Slos- son continued, must be put into effect if any peace is to be lasting. This (Continued on.

Troops Launch Onslaught Establishing First Hold On French Territory' Counter-Attack Stops Sweep, Paris Reports By TAYLOR HENRY PARIS, Oct. 16.-(P)-Waves oft Nazi troops in field gray today1 launched a long-awaited attack int force against French positions on the northern flank of the Western Front, drove the French out of German ter-1 ritory at one point and, although7 thrown back, still held a precarioust foothold on French soil for the first time since the European war began., A French communique acknowl- edged tonight that the Germans' fought their way into the Frencht village of Apach before they were thrown back by .a French counter] attack.1 The fighting lasted all day and as night fell the Germans apparently still were holding the heights of Schneeberg north of Apach on wes- tern slopes that reach into France. The 9:05 p.m. (3:05 p.m. EST) communique of the French High Command said merely that the Ger- mais had withdrawn "to the north of ~Apach" after penetrating the vil- lage. Although the German attack cov- ered a front of four miles, the main force of the blow was delivered at the junction of the French-German- Luxembourg frontiers on the extreme northern flank of the Western Front. Here the French established posi- tions during the first month of the war to: prevent the Germans from driving through neutral Luxem- bourg territory to out-flank the whole French front. Since the French had been holding advance positions some two miles in- side German territory at this point, it appeared to military observers here that today's German attack obviously had driven the French back that dis- tance. Scripts For JGP Must Be In Oct.28 The deadline for scripts for the 1940 Junior Girls' Play has been ex- tended to Saturday, Oct. 28, Lee Hardy, '41, publicity chairman, an- nounced yesterday. Scripts may be written by anyone, whether or not they are connected with the University, and the author of the accepted script will be paid, unless he is a member of the junior class. Collegiate themes are not usually successful, but the musical comedy motif is good, and those who are writing scripts should remember that it must be adaptable to production in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. It should also include a large cast to allow a large part of the junior class to participate. County Receives Funds Band To Give ShowT onight 'The University Band will present its fourth annual Varsity radio show tonight at 8 p.m. at Hill Auditorium before an expected audience of more than 5,000 persons.

Protracted Negotiations Bring No Settlement By WITT HANCOCK MOSCOW, Oct. 16.-(P)--The pro- tracted diplomatic negotiations be- tween Russia and Turkey kept up yesterday but no inkling of conclu- sive results was forthcor.iing from the Kremlin. Sukru Saracoglu, the Turkish For- eign Minister, consulted for two hours with Russian officials and there was no official announcement' on what had occurred. The two countries had been re- liably reported several days ago to have agreed on some sort of a pact. The Tuirkish Embassy declined to, state when Saracoglu would leave here but admitted the possibility he might remain to confer with the Tur- kish Minister of Agriculture, Erke- men Muhliss, now en route to Mos+- cow, ostensibly to see an agrictiltural exhibition in progress here. Tass (official Soviet News Agency)' announced tonight a trade agree- ment between Soviet Russia and the Lithuanian republic for 1939-40 was. signed here yesterday, The agreement provided for doubling trade between the two countries, Tass said.

The discussion brought out two opinions expressed by the group. One, that their first loyalty was due the United States. Two, that Fin- land had little chance against Russia in a military conflict.

Postpone Marley Talk 'V ..1 Lb nb'~ e r'u" Looming on the "horizon for the Student Senate are two important campus functions, one traditional, and the other in line with the appar- ent determination of the student body, to keep out of World War IL. The first is the semi-annual sena- torial election. Norman A. Schorr, '40, and Stuart Knox, "40, were chos- en last week to serve as co-directors of elections. The date for the elec- tion was officially announced as Nov. 3. According to Martin B. Dworkis, '40, acting president, pending action of several collegiate coordinating agencies in requesting the stand of the Michigan student body on the foreign situation and its bearing on the United States, he has submitted the following resolution for action at the Senate's next meeting this Thursday. WHEREAS, the members of the Student Senate, like the great ma- jority of the American people, are of the opinion that there is no more ur- gent problem confronting the people ofti niintrthan that of devising yet fought for the dictatorship of Poland, and the fact that Great Brit- ain and France have offered no plan for the rehabilitation of Germany or for providing employment for their own people in case of military vic- tory, andC WHEREAS, once a war economy ex- ists in this country, all classes of Americans (including industrialists making war profits, workers whose jobs depend on war orders, and farm- ers selling to war markets) will hesi- tate to stop sales to warring countries, we will then sell on credit to prevent preciptation of a "recession," and eventually go to war as we did in 1917, to safeguard our war invest- ments, and WHEREAS, the proposed neutrality legislation which would place an embargo on arms, ammunitions, and implements of war, will not prevent the United States from shipping oth- er goods to warring nations and from extending credits to warring nations, and WHEREAS, the second current pro- posal, which would permit unlimited n'Ic. t an n nntirnn en nn' 00 '14' i lAf Morning Marauder - Escapes With $110I An early-morning marauder who" "apparently knew his ?lay around" got away with $110 in bills by rifling the pockets of members of Alpha Kappa Kappa, professional medical fraternity at 800 Oxford Rd., Allan Hayes, president, revealed last night. The robbery was carried out be- tween 3 and 6:15 a.m. yesterday, Hayes surmised, by someone familiar with the house and its members. In one instance, he explained, the thief took a wallet from one member's trousers, removed the'bills, and put the wallet on that member's desk. Police summoned yesterday took fingerprints, but there have been no results yet, Hayes declared.

GOLDMAN Turkey's support and friendship in the "present international situation will go to the highest bidder for her services, Dr. John W. Stanton of the' history department declared yester- day.. Although Moscow is the present scene of important Turkish negotia- tions, Dr. Stanton observed, it must be remembered that the Turkish diplomatic mission to London has re- mained there since concluding the pact guaranteeing to Britain that the Dardanelles would be kept open in wartime. The western powers need Turkish friendship most, Dr. Stanton com- Dr. Stanton pointed out other con- siderations tending to drive Turkey into an alliance with the western powers. Fear of German domination of the eastern Balkan states, menac- ing Turkish territory is one consid- eration, he said. Great pressure on the Chamberlain government by English oil interests in Rumania are responsible for attractive British loans to Turkey, he added. (By keep- ing the Dardanelles open, Turkey could facilitate British aid to Ruma- nia in case of attack.) Another point, Dr. Stanton observed, is the late dic- tator Mustapha Kemal's conviction that Turkey had supported the wrong side during the World War.
