Greek Civilians
oBe Suplied
By Drive Here
Tag Day To Be Climax
Of Ann Arbor's Part
In National Campaign
A campaign to raise funds in Ann
Arbor so that the civilian population
in war-stricken Greece may be pro-
vided with food, shelter and medical
supplies is being conducted this week
as part of a national drive.
The campaign will be climaxed
Saturday with a Tag day.
Leaders of the campaign point out
that because every able bodied man
is in the armed forcese defending his
country the civilian population has
become more and more dependent on
imported supplies of agricultural and
factory products.
None of the money collected here
is being used for military supplies and
the cost of . the local campaign is
being met by local Greek-Americans.
Three thousand letters have been
sent to residents soliciting funds.
Checks should be mailed to A. L.
Tappe, Treasurer of the Ann Arbor
Trust Company, or contributions can
be also made at the Ann Arbor Sav-
ings and Commercial Bank, either the
downtown or campus branches, and
the State Savings Bank.
The executive committee consists
of George Burke, honorary chairman,
Rudolph Reichert, chairman, Charles
Preketes, president, Theodore Dames,
vice-president, Paul Koken and
Reardon Peirsol, secretaries; Mrs.
Earl Cress and Miss Suzanne Bezir-
ium, assistant secretaries, L. A. Tappe,
treasurer, Angelo Poulos, assistant
treasurer.
Mrs. R. Bishop Canfield is chair-.
man of the women's committee and
Mrs. Paul Preketes is secretary of
that committee.
organized appeals for Greek re-
lief noney are now being carried or
throughout the country in an effort
to prevent unnecessary suffering or
the part of innocent war victims. Th
Ann Arbor drive is one of the mos
active in the country as the towr
is the home of many Greco-Ameri-
cans.

extent on Russia's oil fields for iert
petroleum, he continued. If this sup-
ply added to Rumania's oil resources
proved inadequate or if Russia chose
to shut off its supply, it might be dis-
astrous to the Reich war machine.
Possible Objects Of Nazi Drive
One of the possible objects of the
Nazi drive in the Near East is the oil
fields of Mosul and Iraq, Professor
Slosson added.
Two dangers served as a continual
threat in this crisis. First, Germany
might have persuaded Turkey to
grant access to the petroleum fields
without a struggle; second, Germany
and Russia might have divided Tur-
key between them. Both of these
'dangers have been removed at least

temporarily by the recent announce-
ment, he pointed out.
So far as is known, the only thing
that Russia has promised in the
agreement is not to interfere with
Turkey should that country become
involved in war, he observed.
Secret Negotiation Possible
"Although it can't be proved, somes
secret negotiation may lie behind the
Turkish-Russian accord," he noted,
"and it is unlikely that everything
has been published."
Professor Slosson added metaphor-I
ically, "Soviet diplomacy floats like
an iceberg-four-fifths under water."
In explaining the Russian posi-
tion he cited the situation in 19141
when Russia supported Serbia against
the Austrians. A similar siuation
exists at present with Russia
strengthening the Turks who may in
turn bolster the Yugoslavs.
Russia, he went on to say, is keep-
ing one foot in each camp. It is un-
likely that Russia will engage in the
war in the near future, but would be
glad to see Germany in trouble since
the Nazis represent a potential threat.
Vital Defense Link
Russia has always wanted the Dar-
danelles and considers it a vital link
in its defenses. If Hitler attacks Tur-
key, he must take the Dardanelles,
Professor Slosson declared in explain-
ing the Soviet stand.
The Nazis wanted to neutralize
Yugoslavia before going into Greece,'
and as soon as that is completed will
probably go ahead before the Brit-
ish have a chance to consolidate in
the Salonika area, he concluded.

A geology major who was first at-

HOW THE TELEPHONE SERVES
THE AIRLINES
DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICA'S AIRLINES from a number
of unrFlated local flying services to the nation-wide
systems of today, on which a coast-to-coast flight is
merely an over-night hop, is one of the modern miracles
of transportation. And the Pell Telephone System is proud
of. the part its services play in this great new industry.
IN THE HANDLING of reservations and information calls
alone, telephone service has become indispensable to the
airlines. In the Detroit office of one airline, nearly 1,800
telephone calls . . . a majority of them regarding reser-
vations . . . are received daily. Because reservations must-
be handled with speed and accuracy, these calls are re-
ceived at specially installed centralized reservation and
control boards, staffed by 13 persons trained in the
handling of such calls.
IN OTHER PHASES of airline operation, both the telephone
and Bell System teletypewriter service play important
parts. Airports are linked by both. Flights from any
port can be controlled from other points by either tele-
phone or "teletype". Ground to plane radiophones carry
instructions to pilots. And the "teletype" transmits reg-
ularly the weather information that is so vital to air-
line operations.
