Wolverine Tally (Special to The Daily) INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., March 15.- An inspired Michigan track team cap- tured its eighth consecutive Butler Relays cha'ipionship here tonight with a smashing upset win over In- diana's newly-crowned Big Ten titlists. The Wolverines scored 35 points to 33 for the Hoosiers. Michigan's victory came as a re- sult of a carnival record-breaking win in the University Mile Relay and Charlie Decker's tie with two others for secoid, third and fourth in the pole vault, the last event on the pro- gram. The pole vault provided a drama- tic close to the program. Michigan had tied Indiana by its great run in the University Mile Relay. Decker was fighting for points in the pole vault and Harold Hunt of Nebraska was battling for a new Re- lays record. Decker got his tie at 13 feet, 8 in- ches and then Hunt wenton to 13 f et, 9V2 inches unt tred three times before hushed galleries to set a new Relays mark of 14 feet, 1 inch, but failed. Michigan trailed all the way until the last two events. Indiana jumped out in front at the start when Camp- bell Kane sparked the losers to a vic- tory in the two-mile relay. Wright led Ohio State into a tie at the halfway mark and then Indiana went back in front by winning the four- mile relay. Michigan never was headed in the mile relay and finished with yards to spare, althougheRoywCochran made a great effort to make up a 50-yard deficit on the anchor leg. In addition to Wright's record, Bill Carter of Pittsburgh tied the world's (Continued on Page 3) Patten Beats Clark In 220 By WOODY BLOCK (Special to The Daily) DETROIT, March 15.-The house that Mann built was still intact to- night after a furious two-hour as- sault by a powerful band of Wayne University swimmers who went "all- out" in a vain attempt to stop the Michigan Marauders. After throwing everything they had at Matt Mann's tankers, the Tar- tars found themselves on the short end of a 45-39 score, by far the closest and best battle the Wolverines have had all year. And it wasn't until the final 400- yard free style relay that the final outcome was known. The score stood 37-35 with Wayne having a chance for victory if they could take the re- lay. But Tom Williams, Bob West, Gus Sharemet and Charley Barker swam the Tartar quartet into the very bottom of the pool to win the{ race and the meet. Levelling their heavy power in thec sprints, Wayne gained valuablet ground from the Wolverines with vic- tories in both the 50- and 100-yard races by the inimitable Bill Prew who touched out Barker irn the short event and led Sharemet by a few feet in4 the century. Andy Clark, the other Big Bertha1 of the Tartar attack, came back after losing to Michigan's Jack Patten in the 220 to outclass the sensational (Continued on Page 3) - Illinois Wins, 41 By ACT HILL, (Special to The Daily)1 CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 15.-Two penalties and one beautiful goal pro- School Aid Bill Causes Revolt In Leg islature LANSING, March 15.-(IP)-Re- volt threatened in the House of Rep- resentatives today against what lead- ers said was a prospect of the long- est legislative session in Michigan's history. Rep. Edson V. Root, chairman of the committee on education, said his committee had wearied of wait- ing for the so-called "big cities" school aid formula bill, and was de- termined to write a bill of its own. House leaders praised the Paw Paw Republican's announcement, and de- clared they favored early adoption of budget bills, the school aid form- ula and adjournment of the legis- lature at a normal date or earlier. Root said he was informed that the school bill, proposed by Detroit educators, already has been drafted but that introduction has been with- held lest it become an issue in the April election campaign.

WES ALLEN Dr. McDowell To Talk Today On Turk Stand Present Role Will Be By Balkan Of Turkey Investigated S Specialist "Turkey's Part in the Present Struggle," will be the subject of an address to be delivered by Dr. Robert H. McDowell, research associate in Mesopotamian Archaeology, at 4 p.m. today in the lecture hall of the Rack- ham Building. His talk is expected to deal with the role Turkey is expected to play in the war during the coming weeks with particular emphasis upon the conditions under which the Turks will enter the conflict. Dr. McDowell will also consider the part which Turkey may play during the post- war period. Born in the Near East, the son of American missionaries to Persia, Dr. McDowell has been connected with the archaeological activities of the University since 1928. Prior to that he was engaged in business in the Near East and Balkans for some six years.

Steere of the botany de- partment, editor; and Prof. W. W. Bishop of the University Library, librarian. In yesterday's meeting of the lan- guage and literature section of the Academy the discussion centered on four well-known authors - Ralph I Waldo Emerson, Henry B. Fuller, Al- fred Nupet and Pio Baroja. Prof. Ralph Nye of Michigan State College suggested to the audience the influence contacts with the mid-west may have had upon the larger as- pects of Emerson's thought. He said that these experiences probably strengthened those qualities of optim- ism, self-reliance and individualism which permeated the author's phil- osophy. In answering the question of Henry Fuller's contribution to American realism, Prof. Elwood P. Lawrence, also of Michigan State, declared that the author had made none directly. "He found the realistic tradition un- congenial from the beginning," Law- rence explained, "and its evolution in the 20th century caused him in- creasing discomfort.

This is the first of the weekly pro- grams to be offered to the public on various vacation spots in the United States. Yale will confer with camera en- thusiasts and display the latest de- velopments in color photography. He will describe in detail a trip through Glacier National Park. The series of lectures is designed to acquaint students with trips that may be taken during spring and summer vacation. The project is an outgrowth of more than three years work at the International Center. With the added facilities of the Cen- ter a travel bureau has been estab- lished with information of travel in any one of the states. 'Sacrifice, Inconvenience' Lie Ahead For Nation, Chief Executive Warns President Requests Labor-Capital Unity WASHINGTON, March 15.-(/P)- Warning that sacrifice and incon- venience lie ahead for all, President Roosevelt tonight made a "total vic- tory" over the dictators the objective of an American "total effort," un-' flaggingly sustained, to place the implements of warfare in the hands of nations resisting aggression. "You will feel the impact of this gigantic effort in your daily lives," he said in an address before the White House Correspondents Associa- tion. "You will feel it in a way that will cause you many inconveniences." The nation must be prepared for lower profits and longer hours of labor, he said. The arms program must not be obstructed by "unnec- essary strikes." The idea of "normal- cy" and "business as usual" must be abandoned. There must be "no war profiteering." Lauds Lease Bill And, he hailed the passage of the' lease-lend bill by Congress as a de- cision ending "any attempts at ap- peasement in our land; the end of urging us to get along with the dic- tators; the end of compromise with tyranny and the forces of oppression." The address was one of the Presi- dent's most vigorous utterances, a speech bristling with determination to eliminate Nazism as a world force, and dedicating the material and in- dustrial resources of the country anew to that purpose. It had been expected and awaited for days. As a sort of "studio audience" for his grim remarks, the Chief Execu- tive chose the annual dinner of the Correspondents Association, a gay affair, which the President always attended but never before has ad- dressed. From the ballroom of the Willard Hotel, his words went out, not only to the people of this coun- try by way of all the big networks, but by short wave in 14 languages, including those of all tie German- occupied nations. National Unity Stressed Repeatedly he stressed the import- ance of national unity, and as often said it had been achieved. With national unity and a "will to sac- rifice thrown into the drive for a maximum output of war ma- terials, he said there had already been a reversal in Nazi thinking that democracy could not rise united- ly and face a crisis. "Upon the national will to sacri- fice and to work depends the sur- vival of the vital bridge across the ocean," he said. Plan To Attack Nazi Army In Bulgarian Territory; Land In Five Harbors Dominions Send Forces To Front (By The Associated Press) BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March 15. -Britain, rapidly preparing to take the offensive against Germany's ar- ny in southeast Europe, is rushing 300,000 men to Greece and already has disembarked almost 100,000, it was learned tonight on excellent au- thority. The British plan, a high military source said, is to ready its forces as quickly as possible and then attack the Nazi Balkan army on Bulgarian soil if it remains behind that German- occupied country's frontiers with Greece and Turkey. Troops Landed The troops already landed in Greece, according to these advices, are part of a steadily-growing force .equipped with hundreds of tanks and flame-throwers pouring into five ports on the Greek mainland. Eye-witnesses described the Brit- ish troops moving northward through Greece as Canadians, New Zealand- ers, Australians and Englishmen- many of them fresh from their home- lands and some who are veterans of Britain's Western Front and North Afrlca vpgS Observers who said they saw the landingsrreported most of the vast 2onvoy of ships now plying back and forth in the Mediterranean bringing up additional thousands of ,eserves, sailed from the harbors of Haifa, Palestine, and Alexandria, Egypt. Equipment Available The landing of troops was said by a reliable diplomatic source not to have begun until most of the equip- ment-shiploads of tanks, trucks, anti-air and anti-tank guns, other artillery and mechanized equipment -had reached Greece. It was feared, this informant said, that a premature landing would have provoked a German attack. High Axis sources said the first landings of combatant troops here were made 48 hours ago. Several others said there have been no disembarkations at the Greek port of Salonika because the British felt that sending troop-ships into that Aegean Sea harbor would have in- vited German attack before the Brit- ish position were consolidated. Salonika Nearest Port (Salonika, in eastern Greece, is at the head of the Aegean Sea and is the nearest large Greek portto Nazi forces massed near the Bulgarian frontier less than 100 miles to the northeast.) Military experts added, however, that this does not mean Salonika will not be defended. An indication the reports of strong British landings have had a stiffen- ing effect on Yugoslavia in this Bal- kan kingdom's negotiations with Ber- lin is seen in an editorial in the Sun- day edition of Vreme, the Govern- ment's mouthpiece newspaper. It emphasized that Yugoslavia, which so far has avoided alignment with its neighbors in the Axis, stands firmly "on an unalterable basis of territorialmintegrity, independence and freedom." The newspaper added that neutral Yugoslavia would not consider any relationship with any great power on any other basis.

RecentWaur-Bookkeeping: Rival British, Nazi Submarine Claims Examined B Simpson 33 Crou, Compete In Contests Michigan High School Bands Participate In Annual Festival By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Asscia ted Press Staff Writer) German and British official ac- counts of sea and air casualties have touched a new high for irreconcila- oility in recent days. Yet there are certain aspects of those rival war- oookkeeping entries worth noting. Among them is the fact the Brit- ish in this war as in the World War seem more jealous of revealing in any detail their success in destruction of Nazi submarines than their own losses. The explanation is that the Briit- ish found silence on that score a golden policy in the other war. It preyed on the minds of German sub- marine personnel. They only knew that comrades who went out maraud- ing from Kiel or other German U- boat bases did not came back, but never what had happened to them. It should be recalled that the crackup in Germany in 1918 began of the conflict. It is substantially a new undersea fleet and new crews uapon which Beirlin is now counting to win the war by blocking American aid for Britain. There is a wide difference in esti- mates of the size of the Nazi 1941 U-boat armada. London has passed reports that there might be a total of 600 such craft available for the great Nazi spring offensive at sea, most of them small ships. That com- pares with an estimate of 200 Ger- man submarines at the maximum in the World War when the U-boat menace for England reached its peak. The trem eindous' advantage the German undmrca craft now have as compared to those of World War days must not be overlooked. Op- erating from bases on the Belgian, Dutch, Norwegian and French coasts they are perilously closer to vital British Atlantic ship lanes. Their The Eighth Annual Band and Or- chestra Festival presented by the Southeastern Michigan Band and Or- chestra Association closed yesterday with 33 senior high school and junior high school units participating in an all-day program at Hill Auditorium. Although ratings were made, they, were not released because the con- trolling officials wished to de-em- phasize the competitive element. Ac- cording to President A. W. Berndt, the main purpose of the festival was to provide the young musicians with the comments of a disinterest- ed expert. The participating orchestras andj bands were judged both in the divis- ions of concert presentations and in him from being influenced either by the size or uniforms of the band. Units rated in the first and second divisions will represent Southeastern junior ,and senior high schools at the State Festival April 18 and 19. All the schools were divided into the divisions A, B, and C used in other fields of junior high and senior high school activity. The University High School music organization under the direction \of Clyde Vroman and the Ann Arbor High School Band and Orchestra under the direction of William R. Champion, played in the Festival. Recordings were made by a profes- sional studio and will be available for purchase. The festival was sponsored by the
