BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March 25.-Yugoslavia signed with the Axis
today, and like a spark in a powderhouse the act set off a series of violent
explosive demonstrations in many parts of the country.
Police strove to halt the serious repercussions by making mass arrests of
hundreds of persons in provincial cities, but schoolboys, Serb peasants, Com-
munists and the reincarnated Comitaji (committee of dissenters)-stem-

This crowd of American Federation of Labor wor :ers, protected by squads of police and a court order,
staged this uneventful march back to work in the strike-bound McCormick Works of the International Harv-
ester Company in Chicago, marked only by heckling of rival CIO strikers. AFL leaders said that 3,000 workers
went in on the day shift. Meanwhile, in Bethlehem, Pa., today, steel workers and police waged a battle royal
with tear gas.

Theatre Today
By GRACE MILLER
Classic Grecian simplicity, hilar-
iously shattered by Southern drawls,
Scotch brogues and Bronx nasals,

have had the final flourishes put to
them, and will take a bow when
"Jumping Jupiter," 1941 Junior Girls
,Play, opens at 8:30 p.m. today, in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre.
This year's play is using the device
of steps with the graceful lines of
columns, to make an effective set-
ting for the action, and an intricate
set-up on which the dance routines
are performed.
Draped costumes, in both soft and
blatant colors, with metallic touches
and swinging skirts, carry out the
main theme. A sudden entrance of a
plaid Scotch kilt merely adds color.
There's something of a contrast
between this 1941 production, and
the first performance which was put
on in 199)8, by half a dozen junior
women for the seniors. This play
consisted mostly of take-offs n
ming back to Turkish Empire days-
gave rising vent to their anger to-
night.
The gray-haired Kosca ' Pecanac,
olds-time Comitaji leader and-hero of
the Salonika campaign of 2918, was
reported to have sped out of Belgrade
for southern Serbia to recruit the
sons of his World War revolutionary
comrades for a new fight against the
might of:Germany.
Young Serbs stormed the Greek
and British legations, demanding uni-
forms and transportation to the Al-
banian and African fronts to battle
against the Axis forces with which
their government has cast its lot.
Foreigners Seek To Leave
British, Polish and Greek nationals
jammedhthe legations, seeking to
leave the country. 'Railroad, offi-
cials said so much baggage already
wa I piled up at the depots that trains
for Greece would be jammed for
many days to come.
Pamphlets scattered on Belgrade
streets proclaimed: "Russia is .de-
finitely against German expansion In
the Balkans," and the newspapers
pointedly asked: "Was Russia notified
(of the Axis membership) ?"
But the protests swelled beyond
mere hope of help from the Soviets.
Late this afternoon,eaders of trade
academy students obtained a British
Union Jack and lashed it to the
school flagstaff.

" A
British Want 'To Win
This War For Freedom'
NEW YORK, March 25.-UP)-The
principal war aim of the British peo-
ple and those fighting with them,
Lord Halifax, British Ambassador,
said tonight, "is to win this life.
and death struggle for the cause
of human firecdom."
It was the Ambassador's first pub-
lic address since arriving three
months ago to succeed the late Lord
Lothian. .
Halifax, in his prepared address,
not only emphasized the nature of
the struggle in Europe but sketched
a post war picture in which "every
nation, great or small, will have its'
place and make its own contribution."
He touched briefly, too, on the
question: "When will Hitler invade
Britain?" a question he said he couldI
not answer.

Mann's Wolverines Primed
For Season's Last Meet
Before National Finals
By WOODY BLOCK
Wildcat meat will be selling at
half-price tonight after Matt Mann's
Wolverines lead Coach Tom Robin-
son's Northwestern swimming team
to slaughter in the last dual meet of
the season.
The butcherin' is scheduled for 7:30
p.m. in the Sports Building pool.
Like the turkey before Thanksgiv-
ing-the Wildcats are doomed. And
like the ax that kills the turkey be-
fore Thanksgiving-the Wolverines
are razor-sharp and ready for action.
Wolverines Primed
Great even when they're not in top
form, Michigan's tankers are primed;
as they have never been before this
year, which all adds up to a heap of
trouble for the hapless Evanston lads.1
Tonight's duel will provide Mann
with a "proving ground" test to see
what his natators can actually do in
their peak condition and as a result,
the meet should produce some red-
hot races and near-record times.
Mann indicated yesterday that his
boys are going to take off their wraps
-pull out the throttle and really go
-not to crush Robinson's squad, but
rather to test their own ability be-

were rushed by a shouting crowd of
strikers as they arrived at one of
the plant gates. In the turmoil which
followed, the officers threw tear gas
bombs, the strikers overturned the
police cars, seized the remaining
bombs and hurled them back at the
retreating policemen.
The strike was called in protest
against a collective bargaining elec-
tion by members of the Employes
Representative Plan, termed a com-
pany union by the strikers. CIO
leaders said 18,000 of the plant's 21,-
000 employes eventually would go
out. Bethlehem holds more than a
billion dollars of defense contracts at
its several plants.
The Chicago violence was reported
by Police Capt. John Steger, who said
that "goon squads" beat up a num-
ber of employes of the International
Harvester Company's McCormick
works when they sought to go to
work through picket lines.
The Harvester plant was opened
Monday to employes who desired to
return to work, whereupon leaders of
the striking CIO union issued a call
for a "mass mobilization" of CIO men
at the plant gates yesterday. AFL
workers marched into the plant in a
body Monday, but yesterday entered
singly and by twos and threes.
The plant had been closed sincet
Feb. 28. The CIO demanded wage
increases, recognition and elimination
of piece work.
