GENEVA, Dec. 10.-GP)-Italian
sources here today said that Italian
army pilots and ground crews had
accompanied 50 Italian planes to Fin-
land and that Premier Mussolini
probably would give the Finns "all
aid within reason."
These sources said Il Duce took the
same view of the Russian-Finnish
conflict that he did of the Spanish
civil war.
The Finns' contract with an Italian
firm for planes, it was said, called
for a certain number of training ex-
perts for Finnish student pilots and
mechanics to accompany the planes
to Helsinki, but the regular army men
who actually went far exceeded in
number the civil experts who were
provided for in the agreement.
These *sources said that the more
evidence the Finns gave of their
powers of resistance the more Italian
aid was likely to increase.
HELSINKI, Dec. 10-(A)--Violent
fighting in knee-deep snow on Fin-
land's eastern frontier at the Arctic
Circle was reported from the front
today where the Finns declared they
had repulsed all Soviet attacks.
The Russians battered at Finnish
defenses in all sectors of the Eastern
Front, but were particularly active
near the Arctic Circle, leading many
observers to conclude they had
changed their strategy and were
striving to cut Finland in two by
driving to the Swedish border and
the Gulf of Bothnia.
Heavy fighting also was reported
on the Southern Front, on the eas-
tern side of the Karelian Isthmus,
where three brigades of Soviet troops
behind a tank corps attempted un-
successfully to smash their way to
the Mannerheim Line.
GENEVA, Dec. 10.-(P)-Norway's
delegate led a Scandinavian bloc to-
day in a campaign to obtain from
the League of Nations concrete aid
for Finland and to block help of
Soviet Russia by League members
At the same time Argentina's Min-
ister Rodolfo Freyre made it plain
that his country would demand Rus-
sia be ousted from the League im-

Of Special Goodfellow Issue
The Goodfellow Army, the University's standard bearers of humanitari-
anism, received its marching orders at 7:30 a.m. today and exactly at that
zero-hour, its advance guard invaded strategic spots on the campus and
downtown area.
More than 400 members of the student and faculty body, comprising this
Army, thus began the fifth annual sale of the Goodfellow edition of The
Daily in an all-day attempt to raise funds to provide year-round aid to
underprivileged students and families of Ann Arbor.
Predicting a highly successful drive, Dennis Flanagan, '40, editor of the
Goodfellow Daily, expressed his appreciation to those fraternities, sororities

Helen Arthur,
Play Director,
Is Dead At 60
Was Head Of Ann Arbor
Dramatic Season;- Led
New York Productions
Miss Helen Arthui.. one of the
grand old ladies of the American the-
atre and director of the Ann Arbor
Dramatic Season for the past two
years, died Saturday in New York
City. She was 60 years old. A native
of Lancaster, Wis., Miss Arthur was
a graduate of Northwestern Univer-
sity Law School and became one of
the first woman attorneys to prac-
tice in New York City. From 1914 on,
she worked in amateur theatrical
productions, as manager and director
of the Neighborhood Playhouse on
Grand Street in New York's "East
Side." Later she was instrumental
in bringing the company into the
Little Theatre in the Broadway the-
atrical district. Until her retirement
in 1927, she presented an annual re-
vue, the "Grand Street Follies," there.
During the pastrfive years, Miss
Arthur was director of the Casino
Theatre in Newport, Rhode Island, a
summer "tryout" playhouse. It was
her custom to go to Newport immedi-
ately after the conclusion of the
Dramatic Season.
Miss Arthur last year spoke of her
work here as "an attempt to make
Ann Arbor a first-class producing
center for new plays," and "a logical
step in the creation of a national the-
atre." The people who are working
for such a theatre, she said, realize
"the college towns of the country
have a very special place in their
plans."

butions to the Goodfellow fund. "We
are thus given a running start," he
said.
The drive, supported by President
Alexander G. Ruthven and backed
by 25 campus leaders, is the only
annual all-campus organized and
sponsored charity drive administered
solely by students.
Continuing the tradition initiated
last year, prominent members of the
faculty, including such campus fig-
ures as Dean Joseph A. Bursley, Dean
Walter B. Rea, Dean Alice C. Lloyd,
Prof. John L. Brumm of the journal-
ism department, Miss Ethel A. Mc-
Cormick, social director of the
League and many others will begin
at high-noon today to patrol the
Diagonal, contributing their energy
toward the success of the Goodfellow
Drive.
The Goodfellow Drive was origi-
nally conceived five years ago at a
meeting between a group of under-
graduate leaders and Mrs. Gordon
W. Brevoort, secretary of the Family
Welfare Bureau in Ann Arbor. The
group, agreeing upon the necessity
for a single, coordinated drive to
raise funds for the indigent, began
the Goodfellow drive that has now
become an established Michigan
tradition.
For more than 10 hours today,
therefore, members of the Goodfel-
low Army will devote their time to
the raising of money for the indi-
gent. Last year amore than $1,100
was contributed; and in the past as
much as $1,675 has been raised in a
single day's campaign. The bulk of
the fund is derived from both sales
of the special issue of The Daily and
contributions from private indi-
viduals.
The Goodfellow drive, character-'
ized as the student body's most hu-
manitarian project, is designed to
aid the needy not only during the
Christmas season but throughout the
whole year. Though the allocation
of funds is not constant each year,
the Deans' Discretionary Fund and
the Family Welfare Bureau annually
receive a share of the proceeds re-
