Film To Begin
Three Day Run
Cinema League Will Show t
Biographical Picture f
At Lydia Mendelssohnt
Maxim Gorky's 'University of Life,'t
the third in a series of biographical
films concerning the great RussianI
writer, will open a three day run at
8:30 p.m. today in Lydia Mendelssohn
Theatre under the auspices of the
Art Cinema League.
The film portrays the fruition of
Gorky's youthful genius at the Uni-
versity in the large Volga city of
Kazan. Following him through near
starvation and extreme poverty, the
picture is climaxed when, driven to
attempt suicide, his life is saved only
by fortunate circumstances.
Gorky has gone to Kazan to get an
education for which he has a great
desire. Homeless, he is befriended by
another student, Semynov, but soon
finds himself in the street again
when his friend, a revolutionist, is
seized by the police.
There follow his experiences with
stevedores on the Volga wharves, the
harrowing days in Semynov's bakery;
his first contacts with the Russian
revolutionary movement of the '80's;
his first literary attempts; and, over-
shadowing all, his great struggle for
existence which was later to dominate
all his writings.
Tickets for all performances are
35 cents, and seats may be reserved
by calling 6300, Lydia Mendelssohn

To Meet Illini
Four Wolverines To Play;
In Final College Series
by ART HILL
A determined band of Michigan
hockey players boarded the train
yesterday at 5:22 p.m. for a trip to
Champaign, Ill., where they will meet
the great University of Illinois club
tonight.
Plans were to spend the night in
-Chicago and travel on to Champaign
this morning. They will arrive in
the home of the Illini at 11 a.m. to-
day.
Although the Wolverine pucksters
stand to lose very little by dropping
tonight's battle, since they have al-
ready lost six Big Ten games out of
a possible six, they would like nothing
more than to pull a victory out of
the fire.
Victories have been more than

May Mediate
Controversies
NEW YORK, March 12-( --Ne-
ville Miller, President of the NationalS
Association of Broadcasters, indicat-
ed in a statement tonight that the'
music controversy involving NAB and
Ahe American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers was near-
ing an end. .
He said that the Board of Directors
of NAB would meet here Monday to
consider a request of Gene Buck, AS-
CAP president, that the broadcasters
appoint a committee to st with AS-
CAP'srepresentatives "to assist in
formulating a proposal for submission
to broadcasters.''
ASCAP-controlled music has been
eliminated from most radio stations
since January 1 because of a dis-
agreement over fees to be paid AS-
CAP.
Earlier attempts to bring about a
meeting of both groups had failed,
leading observers to feel that the
newest development was a long step
toward settlement.
"I have also told Mr. Buck," Mill-
er's statement said, "that I think it,
important that he get into con-
crete form the alternative bases of
licensing which the society is pre-
pared to offer to broadcasters so that
they can be considered in general
terms by the members of our board
at their meeting."
Miller could not be reached for
elaboration on his prepared state-
ment. At Buck's Long Island home it
ikas said he had left for Chicago, ap-
parently en route to Milwaukee, where
he and others connected with AS-
CAP were scheduled to be arraigned
tnn'.nrvnuin the rnment'g anti-
R. Arnold Kramer, Emerson W.
Smith, John T. Ryan and James M.
Sullivan will be the principals in the
Kent Club trial which will be held
before Case Club judges, Robert
Kneeland, Charles Johnson, Kenneth
Lau, Philip Buchen and another jus-
tice chosen from the editorial board
of the Michigan Law Review. ,
The trials are open to the public,
and all students who intend to enter'
the Law School have been extended
a special invitation to view the pro-
ceedings.3
Two trials are scheduled to be held#
Saturday: in the Story Club compe-
tition Samuel R. Searing and Joseph
R. Brookshire will contest against
Leslie W. Lum and Samuel D. Es-
tep at 1:30 p.m.; Marshall Club con-

World Reconstruction
"Order Out of Chaos," a discussion
of 'post-war reconstruction, will be
given by Prof. Lawrence Preuss of
the political science department at
8:00 p.m. today in the North Lounge
of the Union, under the auspices of
the American Student Defense'
League.
Preuss will consider the several
possible post-war worlds which may
come as a result of the present inter-
national conflict. A comparison will
be made between the respective ef-
fects which would emanate from a
Nazi or a British victory.
After deciding what outcome is the
most desirable one for the United
States, Professor Preuss will dwell
upon the course which he believes
we should follow to assure ourselves

Berlin Conference
(By The Associated Press) o
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March 12. le
-Yugoslavia, the last Balkan state S
ncommitted to either of the great n
elligerents, has agreed "in prin-
iple" to sign up with the German- is
talian-Japanese alliance, government t
ircles said tonight, but wants more A
ime before the pen is put irrevocably W
o the paper.
After hours of urgent conferences,h
egent Prince Paul and his advisers m
were understood to have decided to
ive in, but made these counter-pro- lo
osals to the German demands: U
1. That Yugoslavia sign immediate- p
y only a declaration of friendship c
ith Germany and thus be allowed c
transition period, before going all t
he way, to try to modify pro-British w
entiment in this country in an effort
o avoid possible internal trouble. t
2. That the German and Yugoslav s
overnments have a further discus- o
ion of Nazi demands for the demob- h
lization of the Yugoslavian army, for h
guarantee that the Yugoslavs will n
nake "no military, moves," and for
he right to pass troops through m
outheastern Yugoslavia fromBul-
,aria into Greece. b
This form of capitulation, it was
nderstood, was made upon repre-
entations by military leaders to
rince Paul that military resistance
vas impossible since the country is
ll but surrounded by Axis areas.
Premier Dragisa Cvetkovic and
oreign Minister Alksander Cincar-
larkovic will go to Berlin soon, it
vas said, to put the compromise for-
nula before' the Nazis.
Meantime more than 500,000 Nazi
.loops stood tonight on the frontiers
)f Greece and Turkey.
The ostensible Greek determina-
ion to fight any invasion remained
mnchanged.
In Ankara, the Turkish Premier i
Refik Saydam in a two-hour speech
old the country's only political party o
what the government's attitude was i
toward the Nazi occupation of Bul-
garia, but what he said was not made
public.
Senate Makes
Preliminary
Parley Planst
Student Group Discusses
Possible Time, Topics
For Annual Sessions l
Preliminary plans were made last
night for the Student Senate's an-
nual spring parley.
The Senate Committee on parleys
and forums headed by William Todd,,
'42, with Helen Corman, '41, as vice-
chairman, made several recommenda-
tions which will be sent to the All-
Campus Continuations Committee
for ratification.
This Continuations Committee'is
comp:ised of representatives of all
leading campus organizations, those
who have worked on former parleys,
a faculty advisory sub-committee and
anyone who may be anxious to assist
with staging the parley. This group
will meet at 8 p.m. next Wednesday
in the Union.
It was recommended that the par-
ley open on Friday, April 26 with a
general session. A session was pro-
posed for Saturday afternoon with
another session in the evening. The
concluding session would also be held
that same night.
The war and its effect was recom-
mended as the parley theme. In the
main the topic would be related to
the possibilities of a post-war recon-
struction, economic and political do-
mestic pressures, and science and ed-
ucation in a war economy.
Officials to direct the parley were
suggested; William Todd, '42, general

The long debate and consideration
f all points of view on the lend-
ase bill before its passage by the C
enate, demonstrated for the other n
ations of the world that democracy fn

n W. Slosson told members of the to
merican Association of University fi
Tomer-1 in the concluding lecture of a
is current events series yesterday t
Zthe Rackham Lecture Hall. a
Passage of the lend-lease bill no in
nger leaves the position of the ro
nited States in doubt, Prof. Slosson S
ointed out. The war has now be- s
ome a war between the European (
ontinent, dominated by Hitler, and d
he English speaking nations of the a
orld. ti
In reviewing the world scene since d
he first of his lectures, Prof. Slos-
on reiterated that the greatest threat ti
f war came from the Far East. But, o
e said, Japan is just "testing" with g
er threats and will backtrack when 0
ecessary. f
The position of the French govern-
vent is now quite clear, he declared, n
h~e "hands are the hands of Vichy, sl
ut the voice is the voice of Berlin."

assisted.
$40,000,000 for necessary services
nd expenses involved in carrying
ut the program.
$10,000,000 for adniinistrative ex-
enses.
In addition. Smith asked that the.
President be given authority to trans-
fer amounts between the various cate-
gories, provided that no one of them
shall be increased by more than 30
per cent and none decreased by more
than 20 per cent. Also included was
a proposal that up to $1,300,000,000
-ould be used to reimburse the Army
