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 boxoffice.

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 ASCAP, 13MN 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.

Preuss will consider the several possible post-war worlds which may come as a result of the present inter- national conflict.

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 government Circles Say Balkan State Will Give Pledge OfFriendship Ceaders Advocate 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.

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.
