Identificatiin Cards Needed Students are reminded that, in order to vote, it is necessary to pre- sent identification cards at the polls,] the directors said.

Actual counting of the votes will begin at 7:30 p.m. today in the ubli cations Building and will be open for public observation, the directors announced. However, final results' will probably not be available until late Saturday morning, although somef of the winners may be known earliert this evening, they said. Yale ,puppets Will Deflate' Public Heroes A little deflating of public heroes will take place at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre when the Yale Puppeteers' revue, "It's A Small World," opens a two-day en- gagement. Presidents, emperors, actors - the world's headliners-will go through their paces under the deft fingers of Harry Burnett, '23, FDR will give a Fireside Chat to some fish, Jim Far- ley and Tom Dewey will meet in a boxing match and Martha Graham will do an unconventional dance. The satirical lines, lyrics and music for the marionette musical were writ- ten by Forman Brown, '22, former English instructor here. Frequent re- visions keep the punch lines in step with current headlines. Intending their review for adult au- diences, the Yale Puppeteers have broken away from the traditional type of marionette stage and 'have de- signed a simple stage, little more than a platform backed by a screen which serves as a backdrop.

Later in the day1 the cutter Chelan received similar ad- vices from the United States ship American Trader. The Coast Guard and Navy, how- ever, did not abandon the search un- til still further confirmation was re- ceived at mid-afternoon. The freighter. carrying a cargo for England, left Philadelphia Oct. 28. In the black hours of yesterday morn- ing, while heavy seas were running, shore stations picked up a message ' purporting to have been sent by the Coulmore from a position about 680 miles east of New York. Instead of the conventional "SOS" call, ships now use a special war-time distress code-a prolonged series of the letter "S." Officials here ex- plained such a signal can mean eith- er a submarine has been sighted or the ship itself attacked. . Slovak Mobs Riot Against Hungarians BRATISLAVA, Nov. 2.-(P)-Thou- sands of Slovaks rioted here tonight sacking two Hungarian newspaper offices and a number of Hungarian shops, following a mass meeting called to protest Hungary's acquisi- tion of a slice of Slovak territory as a result of the Munich settlement. Police looked on with folded arms as the rioters, shouting anti-Hungar- ian slogans, surged through the streets of this capital of Slovakia, nominally an autonomous republic but which is under German military protection. f the principle speakers at the Inter- Guild Conference of Protestant church leaders, to be held here tomor- ow and Sunday. Designed to formulate a more ef- ective religious program for students at Michigan, the conference will bring ogether the national student secre- aries of seven Protestant denomina- ions. This is the first time that uch an inter-denominational con- erence has been held in the United States, according to Mr. Kenneth W. Morgan, director of the Student Re- igious Association.- Dr. Gould Wickey,uGeneral Secre- ary, Council of Church Boards of Education, will give the talk sum- marizing the results of the conference at a rally of all Protestant students, on campus at 8 p.m. Sunday in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Reverend Adams, who will partici- pate in the panel sessions, is a gradu- ate of Wabash College and of the McCormick Theological Seminary, and did post-graduate work at the University of Edinburgh. He was formerly on the faculty of Women's Christian College and of Meiji Ga- kuin, in Tokio, Japan, a pastor at the University of Oregon and at Ohio State University. His work as Presbyterian national secretary, typical of that of other conferees, involves the supervision of the work of 69 university pastors in 52 state schools, the study of indi- vidual university problems and en- largement of the scope of religious work among students. Among the topics to be discussed at the Inter-Guild Conference are, "What is the Purpose of a Religious Program Designed for Students?"' and, "How Can Religious Work with Students be Done More Effectively?" Panel sessions under these topics will discuss the several phases of a stu- dent religious program: worship, study, recreation, social action and cooperation.

House Re Approvesi ~Cashi And Russo-Finnish Parley Is Delayed; Italy Greece Seek New Agreement Exchange Of Notes Between Countries Is Revealed; Soviet Admits Western White Russia MOSCOW, Nov. 2.-(A)-Reopen- ing of Finnish-Russian negotiations on further extension of Russian pow- er to the West was delayed tonight while the newly-arrived Finnish dele- gation watched the Supreme Soviet unanimously approve the admission of Western White Russia, formerly a part of Poland, to the Soviet Union. Most foreign observers agreed the attendance of the Finns at the joint session of Parliament augured well for the possibility of a peaceful settle- ment of the Finnish-Russian prob- lem. Finland's five-man delegation, headed by Dr. Juho Kusti Paasikivi, arrived this morning for the third in the series of talks precipitated by the Western drive of Russian influence. In the public outline Tuesday of Russia's aims, Premier-Foreign Com- missar Vyacheslaff Molotoff said Russia wanted a strip of Finland north of Leningrad, a naval base on the Finnish mainland at the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, certain is- lands in the gulf, a part of the Fin- nish Arctic coast and demilitariza- tion of the Finnish frontier. Finland was offered in return a portion of Soviet Karelia twice the area of the territory Russia wanted from Finland and withdrawal of Russian opposition to the fortifica- tion of the strategic Aaland Islands, between Finland and Sweden, i'f carried out by Finland alone. Early tonight the Finnish delega- tion had received no intimation as to when it was expected to go to the Kremlin to renew the vital talks. Michigan-Life Group Talks On Electronics Otto S. Schairer Discusses Role Of Communication In Modern Aviation Internal combustion engines and electronics in the field of transporta- tion featured the discussion at the second session of the Michigan-Life Conference on New Technologies in Transportation here yesterday. In the second address of the after- noon session, Otto S. Schairer, vice- president in charge of patents for the Radio Corporation of America, emphasized the important role played by radio and its associated fields in the advances of transportation. Avia- tion as it is known today, he empha- sized, could not exist without radic beacons and modern communicatior systems. New methods in communication Mr. Schairer indicated, are even no lending themselves to safety in opera- tion of railroad trains, steamships anc other means of surface transporta- f tion. The extension of methods o: facsimile transmission to transporta- tion needs was also outlined. By this means, Mr. Schairer ex- plained, ships at sea may receiv orders and weather maps in graphi - forms, and the responsibility of air e line pilots may be reduced by havini printed instructions from ground sta e tions, instead of having to rely upo n their memory of telegraphic or tele phonic communication. e Potentially the most useful of pres o ent communication methods, h prophesied, is television, which is ye s only in its infancy. f The value of "superfinish" bearing in improving bearing operation an ; in decreasing wear was discussed i - the morning session by D. A. Wallac (Continued on Page 3) y ASU Will Give Party By G. C. JORDAN ROME, Nov. 3.--W)--An exchange of Greek-Italian notes expressing a desire to give their friendly relations a "more concrete form" was pub- lished today, showing Italy is busily improving her non-belligerency sta- tus to strengthen her influence in Southeastern Europe. Coupled with a reliable report that Italy also will sign a new Italian-Bul- garian treaty shortly, the Greek-Ital- ian exchange lent emphasis to state- ments of informed Fascists recently that Rome has no intention of yield- ing her position. in the Balkans to any power. These Fascists pointed out that Italy fought in Spain to prevent Communism from spreading to the Mediterranean, and was not likely to stand by while it penetrated South- eastern Europe where her interests are paramount. The notes exchanged by the Greek and Italian governments were dated Sept. 30 and expressed the hope a new agreement shortly would replace the treaty of friendship and concilia- tion that was signed in 1928. Diplomats here have forecast re- cently that a Greek-Italian nonag- gression treaty would be signed soon. The Greek note, signel by Premier John Metaxas, expressed apprecia- tion of Italy's "spontaneous gesture" in withdrawing troops from Greece's Albanian border on Sept. 20. He said. Greece was reciprocating the action and that Premier Musso- lini's "assurances" of Sept. 12 had "created an atmosphere of cordiality.", Both governments, in the.notes which were exchanged at Atherj;, expressed a hope that "the evolution of the international situation will furnish the two governments in the near future an occasion for giving their relations a more concrete form."' Italy considers her interests in the Balkans are not only economic but also political and strategic since she occupied Albania last April. Lately the Fascist press has dwelled on the possibility of a southeastern bloc under Italian leadership. PassageNOf Neutrality Act Seen Near As Conference Committee Meets Today Goods Now Available To Warring Powers WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-()-The House voted today to repeal the em- bargo on arms shipments to the bel- ligerents of Europe, approving as did the Senate last week, the Administra- tion's policy of "cash and carry" sales. The 243 to 181 decision left the vociferously-argued neutrality bill just short of becoming law. The re- maining stages of the legislative pro- cess, regarded generally as mere for-, malities, were expected to take no more than a day or so, with the bill becoming effective early next week at' the very latest. .Vast Supplies Opened The result of the action of today, taken in a crowded chamber tense with excitement, was to open Ameri- ca's vast supplies to the nations en- gaged in the European conflict. On dozens of Eastern seaboard jetties, goods falling into the instruments of war category ani particularly air- planes, sorely wanted by the Franco- British allies, have been stacked up, for days awaiting the action of Con- gress. Today's vote meant that soon they would be released for shipment. But, before they can leave this country, title must pass to the belligerent governments purchasing them. Since the bill also forbids loans or credits of any character to the governments at war, it :also requires that they pay cash. Purchasers Furnish. Own Ships eals Embarg( Administratioi Carry' Policy Television Has Showing Here Moreover, it requires tat the pur- chasers furnish non-American ships for the dangerous process of trans- porting their purchases across the submarine-infested North Atlantic. It forbids American ships to enter belligerent ports in the European area or to sail through "combat areas," still to be demarcated by President Roosevelt. Under it, too, American citizens are forbidden to travel on belligerent vessels. In actual operation, all concede, the bill means that the Franco-Brit- ish allies will have access to the ar- senal and granary of America, to the almost virtual exclusion of Ger- many. This is true because the Brit- ish fleet holds control of the seas. However, some argued that it was possible for Germany to receive Amer- ican supplies through her diplomatic allies, Russia and Italy. The law permits shipment of war-goods or any other materials to neutral na- tions. Conference Group Meets Today The Senate-House conferees will meet tomorrow morning. Everyone expects them to approve a bill closely following the Senate measure. The next step, expected to be taken to- morrow or Saturday, is for the Sen- ate and House to ratify the confer- ence report finally. Then the mea- sure goes to President Roosevelt for * his signature. - Administration leaders expected to have the bill ready for the President by Saturday night and then to ad- journ the special session of Congress. The only possible hitch in their plans was the chance that extended debate might break out again in the Senate. l There was still a chance-admittedly slender-of a filibuster against the e conference report.
