ANKARA, Oct. 21.-(W)-Britain
and France were reported in reliable
quarters tonight to have followed up
their mutual assistance pact with
Turkey wth P. 60,000,000 pound credit .
note (about $240,000,000).
The western powers, it was report-
ed, would advance 25,000,000 pounds
(about $100,000,000) of this sum in
the form of arms and ammunition to
enable Turkey immediately to streng-
then her position as a guardian of
the Dardanelles, gateway to the Black
Sea.
There was no confirmation of this
report available tonight either from
Turkish officials or from the British
or French embassies.
But it was understood that Gen.
Maxime Weygand, commander-in-
chief of French fores in the eastern
Mediterranean, and Lieut.-Gen. Ar-
chibald P. Wavell, British middle east
commander, had discussed the ques-
tion of military equipment for Tur-
key in their talks with Turkish staff
officers.
The conversations, which started
Wednesday, ended tonight with a
banquet at the French Embassy. The
French and British commanders were
scheduled to fly back to their posts

Meawhile, high Turkish officials
went into a diplomatic huddle which
may. have a far-reaching effect on
the fate of southeastern Europe in
the war.
Foreign Minister Sukru Saracoglu,
returning from Moscow after three
wee o1 ungucessful-negotiations'
for a Turkish-Soviet Russian pact,
made a report to President Ismet In-
onu and the Turkish cabinet.
Saracoglu gave them, unofficial
sources said, details of Russia's de-
mand that the Dardanelles be closed
to British warships, which was re-
ported to have caused the breakdown
of negotiations.
Soviet To Keep Eye
On Turkish Dardanelles
Moscow, Oct. 21.-()-Ominous
rumblings against Turkey and her
new mutual assistance pact with
Great Britain and France were heard
today in the German and Russian
capitals, with Germans generally ex-
pressing belief that Russia had de-
cided to deal roughly with the Turks.
Russia served notice today as "the
greatest Black Sea Power" she "must
keep a'watchful eye on everything'
related to the Turkey-controlled
despite the British-French-Turkish
pact
The government newspaper Iz-
vestia's bitter attacks on the tri-
power treaty, terming it an unsuc-
cessful attempt to drive a wedge be-
tween Germany and the U.S.S.R.,
made diplomats wonder what effect
the pact would have on Finnish-Rus-
so negotiations which resume Mon-
day.
"The Soviet Union, which is the
greatest power on the Black Sea
(others are Turkey, Rumania and
Bulgaria), is obligated to follow at-
tentively everything connected with
the approaches to the Black Sea,"
Izvestia said.
The newspaper said the pact with
the allies "drew Turkey into the orbit
of war" and attempted to "draw the
U.S.S.R. into a combination which
is chiefly directed against Germany
and eventual enemies of England and
France in the Mediterranean (pre-
sumably Italy)."
French Heavy Artillery
Aimed At German G.H.Q
PARIS, Oct. 21.-(A')-Military ob-
servers tonight reported French
heavy artillery had methodically
shelled an area of 2 square miles on
the extreme northern sector of the
Western Front, hoping to drop a big
shell on German general headquar-
ters.
A communique described the fire as
"harassing."

Freshman Bashfulness
Foils Plans For Dinner
That old villain bashfulness is foil-
ing the plans of a housemother in the
new West Quadrangle mens' dormi-
tories to arrange for an exchange
dinner with Mosher-Jordan.
The housemother complains that]
all the boys want to go to Mosher-
Jordan; none want to remain as hosts
in their own dining halls. The fresh-
men claim, according to the house-
mother, that "you can always get by
with seven women, but imagine en-
tertaining a girl at a table with sev-
en other men."

Senator Seeks
Gold Reduction
Vandenberg Asks Control
Over Metal Purchases
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-()-
Senator Vandenberg (Rep., Mich.)
said today he had suggested to Sec-
retary Morgenthau that the treasury
curtail purchases of gold, repricing
the metal at a lower level at least
for the duration of the European war.
Vandenberg read to the Senate a
letter he had written to Morgenthau
in whch he declared that the pro-
posed "cash and carry" sale of war
materials to belligerents might bring
"dangerous repercussions" on this
country's fiscal system.
Such sales, Vandenberg said, would
be almost sure to cause the "dump-
ing" of foreign securities on Ameri-
can markets by nations seeking cash.
In addition, he said the effort to ac-
quire cash might be "an ultimate in-
flux of all the remaining gold in
the world" into this country.
"If we invite the further inflow
of gold to the exent that we wholly
monopolize it, we will create a situa-
tion which will defeat the utlimate
hope of remonitizing gold in world
trade," Vandenberg declared.

Garner Seeks
To Halt Debate
Vice-President Wants Vote
On Neutrality Next Week
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.--()-
Vice-President Garner, impatient over
long-drawn-out speechmaking on the
administration neutrality bill, was
reported today to be exerting his in-
fluence to secure a final vote next
week.
Friends said that Garner, who has
given wholehearted support to Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recommendation that
the arms embargo be repealed, be-
lieved that the three weeks of de-
bate had been ample and that oppo-
sition senators now should accept
a limitation on future debate.
The Vice-President advised ma-
jority leader Barkley (Dem., Ky.) it
was said, to ask the Senate to agree
to a restriction on debate. If that
is not accepted, Garner was quoted
as saying, then the leadership should
call the Senate into session at 10
a.m. each day and delay adjourn-
ment until 10 p.m. The chamber us-

The game, which by the way was won by Michigan, 85 to 0, was more like

but the goal line.

Rake And Canvass
To Be Antiquated
By New Invention
Rolling up leaves in canvas may
soon be a thing of the past on the
University campus, if a mechanical
sweeper-upper tried out yesterday
proves successful.
Sounding the eteath knell of the
old rake and sheet method is a nw
vacuum sweeper invented by Ernest
M. Maddux, Ypsilanti street com-
missioner. The sweeper, which works
on a principle similar to the ordinary
household vacuum cleaner, is pulled
across the lawn behind a truck, into
which the leaves are swept by the
strong air blast generated by the
motor-driven fan.r
The machine was first used about
a year ago, and has been slightly
altered within the last two weeks by
Maddox. The giant sweeper was
demonstrated on the campus yester-
day to a group of city and University
officials.

Adhering to the subject uppermost
in the minds of the majority of stu-
dents during the past few weeks of
international crisis since the German
declaration of war on Sept. 3, Ann
Arbor churches today are debating
the war, its various issues and prob-
lems.
At the morning service of the First

grams Towards Peace," this morn-
ing, considering what the Christian
Churches can do to further peace in
a disturbed world.
Varying from the war theme, the
Student Round Table Discussion top-
ic at the First Baptist Church today
will be, "What Can We Believe About
Ourselves?" Continuing a considera-

The third quarter was compara-

returned for six minutes in the final
chapter and found time enough for
Harmon to score one touchdown and
kick a field goal, and to have West-
fall burst through center for 23 yards
and a score.
Called It A Day
Then Crisler called it a day for the
first stringers and sent them to the
showers. But the Wolverines kept
plugging and added another touch-,

The Maroons never had a chance.
They were both hapless and hopeless.
The closest they ever got to the Wol-

in the sdeond quarter where the Wol-

Mutual Assistance Pact With Turkey
Called Victory For Western Powers,
By HOWARD A. GOLDMAN
The mutual assistance pact signed
Thursday by Great Britain, France
and Turkey may be regarded as the
first diplomatic victory of the wes-
tern powers in the present war, Prof.
Howard M. Ehrmann of the history
department commented yesterday.
This agreement is of value to the
western European signatories, Pro-
fessor Ehrmann observed, in that it
provides for the armed intervention
nf Turkey in behalf of England and
Professor Ehrmann said. Under no
circumstances, however, he added, is
Turkey to be forced to take up
arms against Soviet Russia.
Moreover, in case England and
France become involved in war with
a European power (outside the Medi-
terranean area and apart from their
agreements with Greece and Ruma-
nia), the three signatories are bound
to "consult," and Turkey is to as-
sume an attitude of at least benevo-
too is lined up against German ex-
pansion in the Balkans, and can give
valuable assistance to the western
powers by keeping the Dardanelles
open to the British and French navies.
Russian aims in the Balkans also
have been temporarily checked by
the treaty. One of the most impor-
tant or these aims is to wrest Bessa-
rabia from Rumania, an action which
now would bind Turkey, at least, to
benevolent neutrality toward Great
Britain and France in their efforts to
