No. 126 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1941 Z-323 PRICE FIVE CENTS CIO Union Continues Allis Strike Decree Of Labor Opposes Government's Request To Reopen Company Workers Will Meet To Act On Tie-Up MILWAUKEE, March 26.-()- The strike at the Allis-Chalmers Manufapturing Company will "go on" until the union membership votes otherwise, Harold Christoffel, Presi- dent of the CIO United Automobile Workers local at the plant, declared tonight. He issued his statement in connec- tion with a request issued at Wash- ington by Secretary Knox and De- fense Chief William Knudsen that the company reopen its plant im- mediately and that the union co- operate fully. r Christoffel said that a meeting of the union membership had been called for Saturday morning "to act on the entire strike situation." If the company attempts too call the union membership back to work before that time, the union will not heed its call, Christoffel said. He declared that the plant could be reopened by the Office of Production Management in Washington. The proposal was understood to have provided for the seting up of an impartial referee to arbitrate in plant disputes. The government called upon the strike-bound Allis Chalmers plant and its employes Tuesday to resume operations on the ground that the 64-day old walkout was "vitally af- fecting the delivery of Navy orders." A tie-up of three big New York shipyards of the Bethlehem Steel Company was threatened when the CIO Union' of Marine and Shipbuild- ing Workers called a meeting for tomorrow to vote on the question of an immediate strike. Some 5,000 men are employed in the yards and the union claims to be the bargaining agent for 90 per cent of them: The yards are working up to capacity on orders for American and foreign ships.

Northweskern Is Victim. As Tahkniaen Prepare or Coinitg Nationals Jim Skinner Nears New World Record By WOODY BLOCK Matt Mann's "Dress Rehearsal" went off without a hitch last night. Before a small gathering of swim fans and the Northwestern tank team, Matt sent his charges through their paces in a final tune-up before taking off for East Lansing and the National Collegiates this afternoon. The Wildcats helped the Wolver- ines through the last inspection while absorbing a 54%/ to 29% defeat in the last dual meet of the season-a meet that was far from thrilling but very revealing. In the first place, Matt found out just how "hot" his star breaststroker, Jim Skinner, really is as the Big Ten champ came within a hair of shatter- ing Dick Hough's world record for the 200 yard distance. Skinner powered his way to a 2:22.5 time, just five-tenths of a second over the National Collegiate mark set by Hough in the Michigan pool in 1939. In addition, Matt's 400 yard free style relay quartet served warning to Yale that they're going to be mighty hard to beat as tiey churned out a new pool record of 3:30.2-less than three seconds off the Eli's world mark of 3:27.7. Charley Barker's anchor leg of :52 flat paced the team with JackI Patten leading off with a :53.2 clock- ing, Dobby Burton sped his hundred yards in :52.3 and Gus Sharemet was timed in :52.7. Those were the eye-openers in a meet that saw Northwestern's un- defeated captain, Tom Powell, edge out Jack Wolin off the high board by 17 points and Dick Fahrback hang, up a double victory in the 50 and 100 yard sprints. Michigan's Gus Sharemet hit the winning groove once again as Mann's lone entry in the 220 free style event.

In the House, the Ways and Means Committee is considering State Bud- get Director Leo J. Nowicki's refusal to include any appropriation for the Institute in -the proposed budget, : while in the Senate, the Welfare and Relief Committee is discussing theI Brooks-Millikan bill which proposes that the work of Carr's agency be< transferred to the state hpspital com- mission. Although the Institute is under the1 supervision of, the University, its ap- propriation is entirely separate from the regular University budget., Prof. Carr asserted that serious confusion exists in Lansing between three problems. "First, in the problemI of reorganizing child welfare agencies] we are concerned with organizing1 communities to remove the causes ofI child juvenile delinquency. 3This is not a welfare problem. Secondly, we have the problem of extending psy- chiatric treatment to nialadjustedi children through mental hospitals."1 "Extension of state hospital servicesi is badly needed," he emphasized, "but1 abolishing the Institute is just rob- bing Peter to pay Paul." "Dealing with the third problemf -extending and continuing the State's investment in scientific re- search and preventive education through the University placed the Institute in a category apart from1 welfare services, and research and education are main functions of the organization under the law," he as-1 serted. Paul S. Mri Archaeologist, To Talk Today Paul S. Martin, chief curator of the Department of Authropology of the Field Museum of Natural His- tory at Chicago, will deliver an illus- trated University lecture on "Archae- ology of the Southwest" at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rackham Amphitheatre, under the auspices of the anthropol- ogy department. Mr. Martin will describe his exca- vation of two Basket Maker villages which he excavated in 1939 in South- western Colorado. The Basket Mak- ers, who were the first agriculturists of the Southwest, possessed a crude culture that eventually influenced the great Pueblo society of Chaco Can- yon and the Cliff Dwellers of Mesa Verde. Previously to acting as chief curator of the Department of Archae- ology at the Field Museum, Mr. Mar- tin served at the State Historical Museum of Colorado and the Car- negie Institute. He has made several archaeologi- cal field trips to Yucatan, but his! principle interest has been in South- western Colorado and in Western New Mexico. Violent Strife Witnessed In Sarajevo, Location Of World War Spark U.S. Plans Answer To Blockade Threat BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, March 26. -(M)-This capital and the Bosnian city of Sarajevo, where a student as- sassin touched off the last great war, were the 'scenes tonight of violent street riots led largely by students inflamed against Yugoslavia's new membership in the Axis. In Sarajevo, where Gavail'o Prinzip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdi- nand of Austria-Hungary in 1914, more than 1,000 rioters battled with police who tried to put down demon- strations against Germany. The fight started when 200 theological students paraded, singing old Slavic hymns and crying out against Germany. In Belgrade, police battled with rioters in at least eight seperate points, making many arrests, nota- bly among dissident students and the reinvigorated Comitaji of old-time Serbian revolutionaries. Police raided homes of many citi- zens suspected of sympathy for Bri- tain and the United States, and there were unnumbered secret arrests dur- ing the day which failed to prevent the outbreaks of the night, Vice-premier Vladimir Macek hur- ried to Zagreb to try to placate lead- ers of the Independent Democratie Party, who are said to have ordered all their members to resign from lo- cal governments of Croatia in pro- test against Tuesday's capitulation to the Axis. The Yugoslav temper was height- ened by a radio broadcast in German that Nazi troops would enter the country to "protect Yugoslav .inde- pendence" under the Vienna Treaty terms if the demonstrations contin- ued. The station was believed to be a "bootleg" transmitter. U.S. Plans Answer To Blockade Threat WASHINGTON, March 26-(A )- An American answer to Germany's extension of .her sea blockade to the very border line of the Western Hem- isphere, if not actually across it, was in preparation tonight. Whether it would take the form of a warning to Germany or more decis- ive measures to keep hostile opera- tions out of hemisphere waters, of- ficials would not say until they had completed a study of all aspects of the problem. Sumner Welles, acting Secretary of State, said the whole question was under consideration and he probably would make a statement in a day or two. German explanations that' the blockade against Britain was extend- ed to include Iceland because Ameri- can ships had been unloading supplies there for transshipment to England were disputed by officials here. The Maritime Commission declared that no American,, ships had been going to Iceland. Denmark's sister kingdom which was occupie by Brit- sh troops last sumier soon after iermany occupied Denmark. '; Students Favor Peace Policy By 2-1 Cross-Section Of Campus Indicates Lat via n SingersAppear In Great Vespers Today By ROBERT SPECKHARD The Michigan campus still favors keeping American doughboys on this side of the water by a margin of two-to-one although sentiment for military participation has been in- creasing steadily since the fall of France last June, a Bureau of Stu- dent Opinion po leveals. Asked It ..week whether the Unit- ed States should declare war on Ger- many and send an army and navy to Europe if England appeared to be los- ing, 27 per cent of the campus cross- section of students answered in the affirmntive and4 R in the neative. ored it while 10 per cent were unde- .cided. Although 64 per cent said they op- posed intervention today, only 26 per cent believe that the United States will not become openly involved in the war within a year the poll shows. Sixty-four per cent believe that the country will become involved within a year while nine per cent are unde- cided. Comparison with last October's poll shows a sharp percentage in- crease (36 to 64) of this sentiment. Upon the more immediate question of allowing United States vessels to transnort goods to belligerents. onin- of goods to England has been stead- ily declining and support for cred- it sales has, been increasing until to- day the sentiment on the campus for each is equal (24 per cent), the poll reveals. However, both are surpassed by sentiment (38 per cent) for giv- ing goods to Britain, a question that was only asked in the last poll. Seven per cent oppose any sales and four per cent are undecided, it was dis- closed. As to the outcome of the war 77 per cent today are in favor of an Allied victory, 15 per cent would pre- fer no decisive victory, 5 per cent hI, nn n re ng r a nnd nnP n a + Nationally-famous Latvian singers and the two 75-voiced student chor- uses under the direction of Prof. Palmer Christian will present the Great Vespers at 8:30 p.m. today in Hill Auditorium.
