WASHINGTON, March 18.-(AP)-
With less than a quarter of the mem-
bership present and passage a fore-
gone conclusion, the House today
heard the ranking Republican and
Democratic members of its appro-
priations committee urge prompt ap-
proval of the nation's biggest peace-
time appropriation bill-$7,000,000,-
000 for help to England, Greece and
other nations which resist the Axis
Powers.
"This act will be a transfusion of
new life to the beleaguered democra-
cies of the world," said Representa-
tive Woodrum (Dem.-Va.). "The
world will se America with its un-
conquerable spirit, its vast and limit-
less resources turn on its great in-
dustrial power in a 100 per cent capa-
city effort to supply effective ma-
terial aid to the defenders of free-
dom in the world. With this all-out
America effort there can and there
will be only one result and that is the
ultimate downfall of the dictators."
Representative Taber (Rep.-N.Y.)
who voted against the Lease-Lend
Bill, said:
"Regardless of what anyone's at-
titude might have been as to embark-
ng upon a program of aid to Great
Britain, to my mind there can be no
question but what we have embarked
upon the program and that we must
furnish enough aid to Great Britain
to permit Great Britain to win. Other-
wise, we are in trouble."
The bill went to the House at noon
from its appropriations committee,
which after approving it, submitted a
report saying that the United States
must give full support in its British
aid program or "become a faltering
welcher" on its pledges.
Roosevelt Advocates
St. Lawrence Project
WASHINGTON, March 18.-(/P)-
Legislation for an immediate start
on a portion of the controversial St.
Lawrence Waterway project will go
to Congress within a few days, Pres-
dent 'Roosevelt disclosed today.
Viewing the Waterway as a vital
defense project, the President plans
to seek Congressional sanction in the
form of a bill, requiring only a bare
majority in both houses, rather than
in the form of a treaty, which would
require Senate approval by a two-
thirds vote. The Senate rejected such
a treaty in 1934, voting 46 for and 42
against it.
Mr. Roosevelt, discussing the mat-
ter at his press conference declined
to give details of his recommendation
in advance of its submission to Con-
gress butthere were two indications
that it would involve a seaway as well
as a power developmnt.
A special report by the Commerce
Department last month advocated
the St. Lawrence development to
open new ship-building facilities on
the Great Lakes which it said would
be needed for a "long period to come."

Goldsmith To Captain)
Hockey SquadNext Year

By ART HILL
Lanky Paul Goldsmith, center from
Swampscott, Mass., was last night
selected by his teammates to captain
the 1941-42 edition of the Michigan
hockey team.
Goldsmith, a junior in th lit
school, has played in every Varsity
game since he reported to Coach Eddie
Lowrey in the fall of 1939. The tall
pivot man is the outstanding hockey
stylist of the squad, an excellent skat-
er and stick-handler and recently
has been developing a hard, accurate
shot.
Marblehead, Mass., the home of
football center Bob Ingalls, claims
the honor of having been Goldy's
birth-place some 23 years ago. He
lived in Marblehead until two- years
ago when his family moved to
Swampscott, the town which also
produced Joe Gannon, star wingman
of the Illinois team, champions of
the Western Conference.
Goldy attended high school in
Marblehead and went to prep school
at St. Lawrence in Groton, Mass. In
high school, he won letters in base-
ball and basketball but] he never'

LONDON, March 18, - German
submarines and German battle cruis-
ers operating on "the American side
of the Atlantic" already have sunk
unconvoyed British ships within 1,-
500 miles of New York, Winston
Churchill declared publicly today.
The Prime Minister did not specify
just how many merchantment had
gone down, nor the size of the Nazi
raiding force, but the term he used
for thesurface raiders could apply
to warships as large as the 26,000-ton
Scharnhorst, to which he had re-
ferred in the past as a "battle cruis-
er."

PAUL GOLDSMITH

Writer Sees British Coastline
As German Concentration Point

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
Sporadic U-boat raiding in the
Western Atlantic is not only possible
but probable; yet it is on England's
vulnerable sea bottlenecks at home
that Berlin must concentrate if she
has any hope of achieving the 1941
victory Hitler has repeatedly prom-
ised his people.
Whatever the source or accuracy
of reported orders to long range Nazi
submarines to prowl off American
coasts and ports in search of victims,
the obvious fact is that Berlin cannot
well spare important units of the un-
der-sea fleet for that purpose. They
could probably achieve greater results
per ship in waters off the coasts of
Ireland.

ure that both German submarines

To Begin Four Day Run
At LydiaMendelssohn
"Much Ado About Nothing," pre-j
sented by Play Production and the
Department of Speech, will open a
four-day run, at 8:30 p.m. today, in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
Performances will include a matinee
at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
The popular Shakespearean com-
edy concerns the two love stories of
Hero and Claudio, Beatrice andBen-
edick. Claudio is persuaded by the
scheming Don John that Hero has
been unfaithful and jilts her at the
altar. After Hero's relatives arouse
Claudio's remorse by pretending that
the girl has died, the lovers are re-
united.
Shakespeare has used an old plot
for the comedy, but has changed the
story by building more attention
around Beatrice and Benedick. They
are two clever people who constantly
pass sharp remarks at each other's
expense. The reigning prince, Don
Pedro, decides that it would be enter-
taining to convince them that each
is in love with the other. The results
are surprising even to him, since the
two actually do fall in love.
Previous productions by the drama
group this year include "Three Men
on a Horse, " "Margin for Error,"
"The Bat," and. "Trelawney of the
Wells."
Tickets may be purchased at the
Lydia Mendelssohn box office for 75,
50 and 35 cents.

Mohammedan Grad Lauds President From Tahore, India
Scarcely 12 hours after President Roosevelt deliver ed his talk on the war against the dictators, Prof.
Joseph Hayden, chairman of the political science department, received a telegram saying "Congratulations
Roosevelt's Speech," signed "Munir" and post-marked from Tahore, India.
The telegram from half way around the world was the first word Professor Hayden had heard from Shiek
Mahammed Munir in five years. Munir, a Mohammedan from northwest India, received his AM degree from
the University in 1922 and returned to his native province as a teacher.
For a long time after his return, Professor Hayden explained, Munir was suspected by the British of
agitation because he had gone to an American university instead of a British. His terse message is signifi-
carat of the extent and importance of the President's address, Professor Hayden observed.

Special efforts will be made this

control to students, Mrs. H. Marvin

the control of cancer, announced
yesterday. The annual drive of the
Army will be held some time in April.
"College students should be given
a clear understanding of cancer,"
Mrs. Pollard said. "This disease is
nothing more than a} disorderly, dis-
organized growth of the cells. We
are particularly anxious to reach-
students since they have an open
mind, without bias or fear. When
they have studied the subject they
will understand once and f or all that
there is nothing shameful about hav-
ing cancer."
"They will realize, also, the im-
portance of alertness against this dis-
ease,"' she added, "and the necessity
for prompt action should any symp-
toms appear. Thousands of lives
can be saved each year by early
diagnosis and treatment of cancer."

By ROSEBUD SCOTT
Defend America, democracy and re-t
ligion by defending our differences
was the policy proposed by a rabbi,
a Catholic priest and a Protestant
minister who sat down together last
night at the symposium'on "1eligion
in a World at War" at the Rackham
Building.
Rabbi Louis Binstock of Chicago,
Father George Dunne of the Univer-
sity of Chicago and Dr. T. Otto Nall,
the editor of the Christian Advocate
pointed to the necessity of recogniz-
ing the spiritual nature of man, his
dignity and the common fatherhood
of God as a common ground among
the three faiths.-
Father Dunne insisted, however,
that national unity does not require
a compromise of our beliefs but an
appreciation of the significance of

ligion, Rabbi Binstock said, since to-
talitariarism represents the negation
of all religious faiths and beliefs.
Since the very basis of religion is
threatened, democracy which defendsI
spiritual dignity of man in the fields
of politics, society and economics is
also in jeopardy. Thus, the existence
of religion and democracy is at-
tacked by the same forces, he ana-
lyzed.
Agreeing in part with this ap-
proach, Father Dunne maintained
that the other freedoms of speech,
assembly and press have their roots
in the freedom of religious con-
science. But the majority of people
are unconcerned about the preserva-
tion of religious tolerance. A positivist
philosophy of abstract right also
leads to the justification of totali-
tarianism as well as that of democra-
cy.

world and that it should condemn
war as opposed to its own highest re-
ligious aims.
The individual must be allowed to
determine the extent of his partici-
pation in war by his own conscience.
If he should decide to participate in
war, the church should still, however,
minister to him. If he were a con-
scientious objector, on the other
hand, the church should also back his
stand.
The churches are being attacked
in Europe and Asia today, Rabbi
Binstock said in answer to the same
question. The church should be pre-
pared, therefore, to defend its very
existence, he maintained.
The Catholic Church has differen-
tiated between just and unjust war.
Modern Catholic theologians, Father
Dunne pointed out, believe that no
modern offensiev war cann the ust al
