Creciai .Gods Settle Back To Enjoy Life
At 'Jumping Jupiter' Tomorrow
Dress rehearsal tonight on "Jumping Jupiter" may be a mad baccha-
nal, but there's an old Grecian saying that after a night like that, the gods
can settle back to really enjoy their life at opening night, which will be
tomorrow.
Over a hundred junior women are taking part in this thirty-sixth
annual JGP; scenes like the one shown here are typical of what goes on
between rehearsals these nights at the League. For weeks the production'
has been rehearsed in parts, the whole complicated structure being put
together tonight for a last brushing up.
Opening tommorrow, "Jumping Jupiter" will be given in honor of the
senior women, after their traditional Senior Supper. The play Will be open

Fords Called
As Witnesses
In Labor Case
Auto Magnate, Son Receive
Subpenas To Appear
At NLRB Hearing
DETROIT, March 24.-(IP)-Henry
Ford and his son Edsel, respectively
rounder and president of the. Ford
Motor Company, were named today
n subpenas calling for their appear-
ance tomorrow at a National Labor
Relations Board hearing on a CIO
union's petition for an employe elec-
tion in two Ford plants here.
William R. Ringer, NLRB trial
examiner, signed the subpenas at the
request of attorneys for the United
Automobile Workers. The Union has
asked the Board to hold elections to
determine bargaining agencies for
some 90,000 Ford employes in the
Rouge and Lincoln plants.
The subpenas were issued over the
protest of I. A. Capizzi, attorney for
the Ford Company, who at the start
of the hearing moved for dismissal
of the union petition, charging that
Communists controlled the UAW-CIO
and that an unnamed man "in a re-
sponsible position" in the NLRB re-
gional office here "is a member of an
organization affiliated with the Com-
munist party."
Capizzi added: "The Ford Company
is in defense production and domina-
tion of its plants by Communists and
Communist sympathizers would jeo-
pardize national defense."
"There is reason to believe," the
attorney said, "that a conspiracy ex-
ists between certain leaders of the
CIO and responsible officials of the
NLRB.
~Michilodeon'
Hits Campus
May 2And 3
Will Succeed 'Michigras';
Nickel Carnival To Be
Largest Since 1892
Collegiania will reach its height
May 2 and 3 when "Michilodeon," the
1941 Spring Jubilee hits the campus
with a "big-time" carnival complete
with circus acts, side shows, danc-
ing and general fun.
The five-cent carnival-nothing
will cost over a nickel is the spon-
sors promise-is the successor to
"Michigras" and will be the largest
carnival presented on the campus
proper since 1892.
Co-directors of the Union-spon-
sored affair are Charles Heinen, '41,
and Anna Jean Williams, '41. The
fun-fest will begin at 7:30 p.m. and
continue until midnight in Waterman
and Barbour gymnasia.
A continuous program of circus
acts has already been planned and
arrangements are now being made
for other attractions for the carni-
val's two-night stand.
Sponsors Heinen and Miss Wil-
liams aren't talking about the deriva-
tion of the name, "Michilodeon."
"We don't know why we chose that
name," they said. But they would
like to know, so a $10 prize is offered
to the person who can give the best
reason for the name "Michilodeon"
in 50 words or less. Boxes in which
the explanations may be dropped
have been placed about campus points
and in the League and Union. The
winner will be announced April 4.
Senate Approves
British Aid Bill
y67To 9 Vote
Arrangements Are Made To Fl Measure
To Caribbean Sea For FDR's Signature;
Opposition Does Not Offer Amendments
WASHINGTON, March 24.-(R)-The Senate passed the $7,000,000,000
lease-lend appropriation bill today by anational-unity vote of 67 to 9 and
plans were laid to fly it tomorrow to President Roosevelt, vacationing in
the Caribbean.
The action came after less than two hours' discussions and the opposi-
tion did not so much as offer an amendment. The debate, in fact, con-
sisted largely of statements of position from some of the many senators
who had voted against the original lease-lend authorization bill, but foil
the appropriation.
Among these were Senator Adams (Dem.-Colo.), Vandenberg (Rep.-
Mich.), Brooks (Rep.-Ill.), Willis
(Rep.-Ind.), and Taft (Rep.-Ohio).

To Meet Here
This Weekend
Inter-Cooperative Council
To Sponsor First Annual
State-Wide Convietnion
The first annual Michigan Cooper-
ative Conference, a state-wide parley
of all cooperative organizations, will
be held in Ann Arbor next Saturday
and Sunday.
The Intercooperative Council of
the University of Michigan conceived
and will sponsor the convention at
which cooperative leaders from
throughout the state will discuss the
various problems common to the en-
tire cooperative movement.
Highlights of the meeting will be
the discussion groups, in which Mich-
igan students and members of the
University campus cooperatives as
well as outside co-op leaders, will be
featured. There will be general in-
spection of all 12 cooperatives.
All Univei'sity students and towns-
people who are interested in or would
wish to learn about the cooperative
movement, how it serves the" state
and the consumer, are welcome to
attend any or all of the parleys.
A tentative program has been ar-
ranged by the Intercooperative Edu-
cation Committee headed by Betty
Zunk, '42. Registration will begin
at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Union, and
will be followed by a tour of student
cooperatives, the Wolverine and the
Ann Arbor Cooperative Society.' The
general meeting wil begin at 1 p.m.

the duty of the National egilature
to provide funds for giving that po-
icy effect.
The $7,000,000,000 fund, the na-
tion's largest peacetime appropria-
tion, would provide, among other
things:
$2,054,000,000 for aircraft and ac-
cessories .
$1,343,000,000 for ordnance and
ordnance supplies.
$1,350,000,000 for the purchase of
miscellaneous agricultural and indus-
trial articles.
Lesser Sums Included
Lesser sums were included for
tanks, for repairing and outfitting
belligerent vessels in American ports,
for building or otherwise acquiring
factories or factory sites for the
manufacture of war supplies, and for
the expenses of administering the
act.
Beyond this breakdown, the details
were withheld from Congress. Ad-
ams, who as chairman of the Senate's
sub-committee on deficiency appro-
priations, was floor manager of the
bill, said in the course of the debate
that to make such things public
would "advertisesBritain's needs."
As one of those who voted against
the lease-lend bill but was ready to
support the appropriation, Adams
gave the. Senate a statement of his
position.
Unsound Principle
"I voted against the lease-lend
bill," he said. "I thought and I still
think that it was unsound in princi-
ple and apt to bring not only danger,
but catastrophe and disaster to my
country.
"However, since it has become a
law, I regard myself as much bound
by the lease-lend bill in its legal re-
quirements as those who voted for it.
It is presented here on the premise
that Congress having laid down the
policy should, and I think must, im-
plement the bill by providing ade-
quate financing."

Nipponese Face Trouble:
Japan Is Nearing Il(ustrial
Collapse, Prof. Stanton States
By HOMER SWANDERI
Foreign Minister Matsuoka's pres-
ent trip to Moscow and Berlin indi-
cates that Japan is on the verge of
an industrial breakdown, Prof. John
W. Stanton of the history depart-
ment asserted yesterday in a talk
before the Ann Arbor Community
Forum
"Four years of war have told heav-
ily on the Japanese," Stanton ex-
plained, "and they are no longer a;e-
ceiving great quantities of oil and
be the deciding factor. "Such a war
would probably involve one long
chase, with one nation's navy after
the other. The chase would end only
when one side ran out of oil for their
ships, and it goes without saying it
would not be us."
He pointed out that the thing
which is most likely to involve us in
a conflict with the Japanese is their
desire for the Philippines, Hawaii,
Australia and the Dutch East Indies.

BY WILL HARDY
Shortage of important fresh food-
stuffs for patients at the University
of Michigan Hospital and students in
all University dormitories was nar-
:owly averted yesterday when truck-
men from the AFL Teamsters' Union
"blockaded" more than $250,000 in
products at the Detroit Union Pro-
duce Terminal.
The University's five-ton insulated
truck arrived at the Union Terminal
early yesterday morning and was
loaded with requirements needed for
two days before the blockading truck-
ers started their tactics. O. E. Ros-
cel, assistant purchasing agent, and
Charles Cave, driver of the truck,
were forced to remain at the term-
terday afterioon, it was reported.
As quoted in the Detroit News, the
,ause of the "blockade" was a "squeeze
play" to restrain food retailers from
buying in small lots at the terminal
in competition with the large whole-
saleis.
Officials of the terminal said that
they had signed a contract with an
independent company associaton for
a, closed shop, thus creating an ap-
parent deadlock.
Dr. Harley A. Haynes, director of,
the University Hospital, explained
that the supply obtained yesterday
would probably last over a two-day
period. The food is a vital necessity
to patients and lack of it would also
