Garg To Print
Harmon Story
In Next Issue
"All American Griefs," an article
by Tom Harmon, Michigan grid
sparkplug, concerning the trials and
tribulations of top-notch football,
features the December issue of the
Gargoyle, to be out on campus
Thursday, according to Ellis Wunsch,
'40, editor of the magazine.
In addition to the Harmon opus,
the Garg will play (with fortitude if
not trepidation) an expose of the
SNYDDLICK, an investigation which
will follow the magniloquent crea-
ture from the time of its birth from
the egg until its latest hangover. The
SNYDDLICK's revelation, Wunsch
mentioned, is thoroughly illustrated,
a point, which should prove inter-
esting. The December issue of the
Garg will be sold to no one under
the age of 14, he added.
The day's doldrums will at last be
recorded in a brililant investigation,
(with photographs), of campus ac-
tivities around the hour of three in
the afternoon. The roving camera
herein covers many angles, including
such items as campus beauty parlors
and The Daily women's desk.
Letter To Ask
Aid In Crippled
Children Drive
Committee Wants Support
For Petition For Special
Session OfLegislature
In a letter to be published by the
Statewide Committee To Aid Crippled
Children, more than 1,000 fraternal,
social and civic groups throughout
the state will be asked to support the
petition drive to secure a special ses-
sion of the legislature to provide ade-
quate funds for the care of the
crippled andoafflictedrchildren,
Harry Stutz, Grad., acting secretary
of the committee, announced yester-
day.
The letter will explain that many
sick and indigent children are un-
able to secure proper medical and
hospital treatment and will ask re-
cipients of the letter to help circu-
late the petitions in an effort to
secure thousands of signatures, Stutz
continued. This drive will culmin-
ate in a conference to be held on
Jan. 19.
"It is the belief of the Committee,"
Stutz pointed out, "that whatever
the outcome of the present conflict
between he governor and the Crippled
Children's Commission, the problem
will remain. of providing adequate
medical and hospital care for all
sick and indigent children of Michi-
gan."
Raider Sinks
British Ship,
Report Says
'Doric Star' Named Victim
Of German Battleship
In Southern Atlantic
Vessel Reported
Off African Coast
LONDON, Dec. 4.-(P)-The 10,-
086-ton steamship Doric Star was
reported sunk in the South Atlantic
today by the German pocket battle-
ship Admiral Scheer.
The Doric Sar was a British
freighter of 10,086 gross tons. Con-
structed in 1921, it was operated
from London, its home port, by the
Blue Star Lines. It was owned by
the Union Cold Storage Co., Ltd.,
of London. The ship carried a crew
of 70 and accommodations for six
passengers. It was not known whe-
ther any passengers were aboard.
Repored Off Africa
The Doric Star last was reported
off the East African coast Nov 16
when some survivors of the British
tanker Africa Shell said the Admiral
Scheer attacked. Other survivors
said the raider was the Deutschland.
The British fleet has been hunt-
ing the Admiral Scheer and her sis-
ter pocket battleship the Deutsch-
land, which are known to have been
roving the seas in search of British
and French shipping, since the early
days of the war.
The Admiral 'Scheer was first re-
ported in South Atlantic waters when
she sank the British freighter Clem-
ent off Bahia, Brazil, Oct. 2. Surviv-
ors later identified their attacker as
the Admiral Scheer.
Slipped Thru Blockade
The Admiral Scheer is one of Ger-
many's trio of pocket battleships
which apparently slipped through the
British blockade early in the war to
take up their raiding career.
The sister ships are the Deutsch-
land, last reported in the North At-
lantic where she destroyed the Bri-
tish armed cruiser, the Rawalpindi,
and the Graf Spee, whose where-
abouts still are a mystery. The Graf
Spee has not been reported in weeks.
The three vessels were built to
outrun heavy battleships and out-
shoot faster cruisers. They have a
cruising radius of 10,000 miles and
a speed of 26 knots.
New Secret Weapon
Claimed By British
LONON, Dec. 4.-(1)-An a uthor -
tative source said today that Bitin
had devised - "very satisfactory"
new secret weapon to combat Ger-
man magnetic mines.
Announcement that fishermen vol-
unteers on trawler minesweepers were
using a new method closely guarded
by the navy came as the Allied block-
ade of German shipping was extend-
ed to include the seizure of German
exports even though carried in neu-
tral ships.
Two steamers were reported sunk
by mines. The 3,829-ton British
freighter Eskdene went down and
her crew of 29 was landed in Scot-
land. It was disclosed the 2,159-ton
Swedish freighter Rudolf was sunk
yesterday off the British coast. Her
crew of 23 escaped in lifeboats.

Finland Reports Success
Against
Finland's Past Histry Explains
Present Crisis, Stanton Asserts
By HOWARD GOLDMAN
Little Finland's position in its hos-
tilities with Soviet Russia is colored
by political, economic and social past
relationships with its powerful eas-
tern neighbor, Dr. John W. Stanton
of the history department observed
yesterday in an interview.
Contrary to general belief, he ex-
plained, the Finns were never poli-
tically independent until 1919. Until
1809, he added, Sweden owned Fin-
land, which thereafter fell under
Russian domination until the World
War.
Finland Culturally Advanced
Consequently, Dr. Stanton com-
mented, the dominant population in
Finland has a Swedish strain. Under
the Czarist regime, he added, Fin-
land was the most culturally ad-
vanced province in Russia, and was
always orientated toward the west
and especially toward Sweden.
The retaliation issue crops up in
the present warfare, Dr. Stanton
noted, when it is remembered that
Finland is the only Baltic state lib-
erated during the World War which
has not been content to let the'Rus-
sian Bolsheviks alone. The Finns, at
Fourth Lecture
Will Be Given
By Kaltenborn
Radio's Marco Polo in pince nez-
H. V. Kaltenborn, dean of news
broadcasters-will give the fourth in
this year's Oratorical Association lec-
tures at 8:15 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 12,
in Hill Auditorium.
Mr. Kaltenborn's speech will have
the same title as the radio program,"
Kaltenborn Edits the News," which
brought the 60 year-old newspaper-
rhan into international prominence.
A Harvard Phi Beta Kappa, form-
er foreign correspondent for the
Brooklyn Eagle and tutor of young
Vincent Astor, Hans von Kaltenborn
began his radio career 17 years ago
in the experimental Westinghouse
station in Newark. Later he appeared
regularly over Station WEAF deliver-
ing 30-minute talks on current events.
He has been a 'Columbia Broadcast-
ing System commentator since 1930.
Mr. Kaltenborn broadcast the Span-
ish Civil War with portable equip-
ment near the battle-lines, interpret-
ed Europe's September 1938 crisis
from a bed-equipped New-York stu-
dio, and roved around Europe inter-
viewing leaders and reporting events
of the outbreak of the second World
War
He can speak four languages-
English, French, German and Span-
ish - extemporaneously. He never
prepares scripts in advance, prefer-
ring a few scribbled notes for a half
hour's talk. An inveterate traveler,
he spends his vacations from the
microphone lecturing in all parts of
the United States. He claims that he
never delivers the same talk twice.
Much of Mr. Kaltenborn's prestige
has been built up by the accuracy of
his predictions. He predicted the
downfall of the Dollfuss regime in
Austria, the Spanish rebellion and the
Franco-English capitulation at Mu-
nich last year.
the time of their liberation, were
vidlently anti-Russian, he pointed
out.
Effort To Dominate Russia
In 1919, led by Baron von Manner-
heim-the present comnander-n-'
chief of the Finnish Army-the
Finns were the spearhead of an
Allied effort to dominate Russia, he
explained. In addition, he continued,
Russia considers Finland almost a,
creature of Germany, as it was a
German army under von der Glotz
who drove the Bolsheviks out of
Finland and paved the way for
Finnish independence and democ-
racy.
This past history is all the more
conducive to Russia's desire to grab
Finland, Dr. Stanton observed,' when
an additional fact is considered,
namely, that Finland is one of the
best military bases for operation
against Russia. The Soviets' second
city, Leningrad, is dangerously close
to the Finnish border, he explained,
and the Finns are in a position to
cut off the vital Leningrad-Mur-
mansk railway.
Another interest, an economic one,
colors Russia's interest in Finland,
Dr. Stanton observed. Although
Russia possesses a great quantity of
mineral resources, he explained,
there are no nickel mines yet exploit-
ed in the country Finland, on the
other hand, has large nickel deposits,
he added.
Still other considerations in the
present hostilities, Dr. Stanton ob-
served, are the Soviet Union's im-
perialistic ambitions. Just as Fin-
land would make an excellent base of
operations against Russia, he con-
cluded, so would it make a good
springboard for Russian domination
of the Scandinavian nations, Norway
and Sweden.
ASU To Hold

A Peace Forum, sponsored by the
Peace Commission of the American
Student Union, will be held at 3:30

Administration Discards
Motion To Cut' Relations
With Expanding Russia
Finns' Government
Remains In Session
HELSINKI, Dec. 4.-(IP)-Fig'.'ng
Finland tonight claimed new suc-
cesses against Soviet Russia invaders
and steeled herself for new and more
vigorous assaults expected by land,
sea and air.
This ghost-like capital, deserted
except for defenders and those neces-
,sary for vital services, was grateful
for lowering clouds and snowfall
which kept Russian bombers away
and gave time to strengthen defenses
and clear away the debris of last
week's air bombardment.
1,500' Russians Captured
As night fell without further air
raids on Helsinki a government
spokesman announced that in the
eastern sector North of Lake Ladoga
the Finns had captured 1,500 Russian
troops. He said no further details of
the capture were available.
(In the North, reports reaching
Kirkenes, Norway, said 20,000 first
line, well-equipped Finnish troops
were standing off the Russian attack
on the Arctic region of Petsamo. The
reports said several thousand Soviet
troops had landed in that area but
Finnish leaders declared their well-
trained regiments in the Far North
would not be pushed back).
Swedish Mediation Refused
The Helsinki government an-
nounced the Swedish minister to Mos-
cow, who had been asked to seek
peaceful mediation of the Russian-
Finnish 'conflict, had not yet been
received at the Kremlin.
The government here remained in
almost continuous session but it was
said that no important inner political
developments had occurred.
No decision for the government to
leave Helsinki had been reached al-
though vigorous efforts were being
made to board up the city in prepara-
tion for new bombing raids.
Soviet Charges Finns
Abandon Helsinki
U.S.S.R.; Soviets
MOSCOW,
Dec. 4.--(P) -Soviet
Director Hoyer To Concentrate
On Casting For Coming Opera
Rusia charged tonight that the "so-
called government" of Finland al-
ready had abandoned its capital and
refused Swedish efforts to mediate
the conflict.
A communique by Tass, official So-
viet News Agency, said Premier Vy-
acheslaff Molotoff had explained to
the Swedish minister that the Soviet
government does not recognize the
"So-called government" of Finland
which already has left Helsinki in
an unknown direction and therefore
there now can be no question of any
negotiaions with this 'government'."
The statement added that Russia
recognizes the "People's" govern-
ment, which Russia has proclaimed
was born at Terijoki on Finnish ter-
ritory, as the only government Of
Finland.
Hull Discards Move
To Break With Russia
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-(P)-Any*
move to rupture diplomatic relations
with Soviet Russia appeared today to
have been definitely discarded by the
administration-at least for the time
being.
Although some members of the
Senate and House called for the break
as a further rebuke to the Soviets for
their invasion of Finland, the word
was passed that officials desired to
proceed cautiously.
Secretary Hull said at his press con-
ference that there was nothing for
him to take up on the question of
breaking off relations.
Twelve Honored
By HERVIE HAUFLER,
Frank Murphy was once up ther
in the "pony" chorus, painted and
glamorous as any Broadway chorine,
and then again Tom Dewey set fem-
inine hearts a-flutter as the hero
of "Top of the Mornin'."
That was during the golden days
of the Union Opera, when the pro-
ductions led the parade of college
shows, when the Opera annually
toured the nation's largest cities.
This year a determined effort is
being made to revive the Opera and
start it on its way toward the na-
tional prominence that it once en-
joyed.
Now that the lush antics of ad-
vance publicity are past, work on the
Opera for the next few weeks will
center around the phases of casting
and production.
A skeleton organization of business
and production chairmen has been
formed, and the full committees, in-
cluding more than 100 men who reg-
begins after a whirlwind publicity
campaign, the brainchild of Charles
Heinen, '40, co-publicity chairman,
had kept the campus guessing for
several weeks.
Heinen wanted to demonstrate to
the campus the character of "Lee
Grant", leading man of the play.
Grant's role is that of a madcap
freshman practical joker. To adver-
tise him, therefore, Heinen, assisted
by a group of ten freshmen, estab-
lished Grant as an actual student,
included his name in the student
directory and gave him notoriety
through a series of pranks that en-
raged the sophomores, the sorority
girls and virtually all other groups
that were susceptible to practical
jokes.
But the sophomores, goaded by the
evanescent Grant, who had by then
become leader of the freshman class,
couldn't take it. They caught Tom
Dalrymple, '43, Robert Cavanaugh,
'43, and Floyd Harrison, '41E, while
