(By The Associated Press)
The "ham and eggs", old age pension plan was getting the worst of it
in California, early returns indicated last night, after pension advocates
had conceded defeat in Ohio.
Election returns showed a proposal to legalize horse race betting under
the pari-mutuel system winning easily in New York, where such wagers
have traditionally been placed with bookmakers.
In Kentucky, partial returns had Gov. Keen Johnson (Dem.) leading inf
his race for election to the office he reached recently through the resigna-
tion of Gov. A. B. "Happy" Chandler to take a place in the Senate. His
opponent was Circuit Judge King' >

Germany has absolutely no grounds on which to base its complaint
against the Norwegian Government's release of the American freighter
"City of Flint" and internment of the German crew, Prof. Laurence Preuss
of the political science department declared yesterday.
Referring to Article 23 of the Hague Convention of 1907, Professor
Preuss pointed out that 'the Article states, "A neutral Power 'may' allow

Play Production, .oldest dramatic
s organization on campus, will present
d its first play of the fall season be-.
-ginning,,.at 8:30 p.m. today, in the
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, when
""Family Portrait" opens a four-day
run.
1 Tickets may be secured at the the-
atre ticket office in the League, or by
callin~g 6300.
"Family Portrait," by Lenore Cof-
fee and William Joyce Cowen, shows
Jesus' family as an everyday family
group. In a light and often humor-
ous vein, it tears all legend and mys-
tery from the family, presenting the
action as befitting any time in his-
tory or any location'
This play features an unusually
- large number of separate scenes,
s which have been tied together with
music arranged especially for "Family
y Portrait" by Italo P. Frajola, '40SM.
) Prof. Valentine B. Windt, director
1. of Play Production, declares that New
*- York audiences last spring, during
"Family Portrait's" long and success-
ful run there, were especially sur-
- prised at not finding heavy religious
., drama in the play. Chief attraction
al in the play, he adds, lies in its uni-
versality, of time and place.

Church of Christ Disciples will de-
liver an "I Believe" lecture at 8 p.m.

clusions.
Sporsored by the Student Religious
Association, the "I Believe" lectures

dents a broad picture of most or-
ganized religions, and to provide a
better opportunity for them to mcet
campus leaders in an informal discus-
sion of religious problems.

Crippled children whose opportuni-
ties for treatment at the University
Hospital have been seriously curtailed

tee will in turn make the funds avail-
able to the University Hospital for

As Chairman
Of 1940 JGP
Prominent Junior Will Fill
Vacancy Left In Post
By AllisonResignation
Jane Grove, '41, has been appoint-
ed general chairman of the 1940
Junior Girls Play, Betty Slee, '40,
chairman of Judiciary Council, an-
nounced yesterday.
Miss Grove will fill the vacancy
left by Margery Allison, '41, who re-
signed the position due to i:1 health.
A member of Kappa Alpha Theta,
Miss Grove worked on the entertain-
ment, committee for Freshman Pro.-
ject, the dance committee and pub-
licity committee for Sophomore Cab-
aret, and is a member of the pub-
licity committee of the League.
She is also a member of Le Cercle
Francais, was on the tea committee
of WAA last year, and the ticket com-
mittee for Michigras. She is now
head of intramural sports for WAA,
and is president of Wyvern, junior
women's honorary society.
Other members of the central com-
mittee chosen last spring are Anna-
bel Van Winkle, assistant chairman;
Lee Hardy, publicity; Ann Vedder,
tickets; Barbara Fischer, finance;
Jane Krause, programs; Ruth Fitz-
patrick, make-up; Virginia Osgood,

steads, whether under convoy or not,
when they are brought there to be
sequestrated pending the decision of
a Prize Court." However, the, neu-
tral state is under no obligation .to
extend such permission, Professor
Preuss observed.
Norway was obligated to release the
ship even if the Article 1had stipulat-
ed "must" instead of^"may,"Profes-
sor Preuss stated, for the United
States made a reservation to Article
23 in ratifying the Convention. "The
German Government-is not justified
in contesting the action of the Nor-.
wegian Government in construing
strictly its neutral obligations toward
the _United States," he declared..
Contrasting the Norwegian action
with that of-Russia, Professor Preuss
said, "Under the general rules of in-
ternation law, Soviet Russia was un-
der obligation to release the City .of
Flint to its owners and to intern the
German prize' crew when the City
of Flint put in at Murmansk. Soviet,
Russia not only conimitted a viola-
tion of its international obligations
in refusing to do so, but was undoubt-
edly guilty of bad faith in refusing
to permit an investigation of the sub-
j'ect while the vessel was in port.d
When the City of Flint, after leav-
ing Murmansk, put in at Tromso,
Norway, it was for lack of fuel ora
provisions, one of the reasons forc
which a' prize- crew may carry itsa
prize into neutral waters.' Wheni the
reason for its sojourn ceased, the
Norwegian Government very properly1
demanded that it leave port.
Professor Preuss noted that in al-
lowing the German crew to navigate
the City of Flint within Nprwegian
territorial waters to Haugesund, the
Norwegian Government was actually
favoring Germany in its extension of
the point of the law. It was ap-
parent that the ship traveled Nor-
wegian waters to keep from encoun-
tering enemy vessels. However, when
the City of Flint docked at Hauges-
und for reasons not specified accord-
ing to international law, the Norwe-
gian Government-exercised its rights
by releasing the vessel and intern-
ing the German crew. Professor
Preuss concluded, "It is clear, there-
fore, that the' Norwegian Govern-
ment,'acting in scrupulous regard as
to neutral duties, has performed 'nol
act about which Germany can right-
fully complain."

'Deutschland' Unreported
LONDON, Nov. 7.-(P)-Naval cir-
cles speculated tonight on the likeli-
hood that the German pocket battle-
ship Degtschland had slipped through
British partols into a home port to
provision and refuel. These sources
said the theory was supported by the
fact that there has been no confirmed
report of activities by the raider since
she put a prize crew aboard the City
of Flint in the North Atlantic, Oct. 9.

Seminar Luncheon Approves
Health Unit For Washtenaw
Washtenaw County's ill-fated pub-
lic health unit, approved by the
Board of Supervisors and then killed
in budget discussions, will be re-born
in the future, a consensus of opin-
ions of speakers at the Social Serv-
ice Seminar luncheon yesterday
showed.
Dr. Nathan Sinai of the hygiene
department initiated the discussion
with a plea for introduction of the
new system. Pointing out that 60
out of 83 Michigan counties have es-
tablished the county units and that
not one has given it up after estab-
lishment, Dr. Sinai declared that
standards in the field of public health
should encourage adoption..
Politics, the University expert de-
clared, are rapidly disappearing from
the public health field. Because fed-

He stated his belief that
eventually the County will adopt th
plan if given time to study a thor-

the proposal.
Prof. Arthur. Bromage of the poli-

meeting that the current movemen
is another manifestation of the gov
