PAGE, OUR TH E MI-CH1 4-GAN DAILY SUNDAY, APRIL 6, 1941 Nazis Declare War; ,Attack Slavs, Greeks Moscow-Belgrade Accord Announced As Germany Launches Balkan Blitz (Continued from Page 1) the day that loosed the new war upon the southeast: "Soldiers of the southeast front: Since early this morning, the German people are at war with the Belgrade governments of intrigue. We shall lay down arms only when this band of ruffians has been definitely and empatically eliminated, and the last Briton has left this part 'of the Eur- opean continent." Then the proclamation went on to say that those in the Balkans must "thank Britain'' for their trou- bles; that Germany entered this new test "with the inner satisfaction tnat its leaders have done everything to bring about a peaceful settlement;; that this was to be one more blow at "cupizalism and plutocaac;." Tass Announces Russian Non-Agression Pact MOSCOW, April 6 -- (Tuesday)- WP)-Soviet Russia and Yugoslavia have signed a treaty of friendship and non-agression after several days of negotiations, Tass, Soviet Rus- sian News Agency, announced early today. The agency said the pact was sign- ed yesterday by the Russian Premibr and Foreign Commissar, Vyacheslaff Molotoff, and Milan Gavrilovic, for- mer Yugoslav cabinet minister and Yugoslavia's representative in Mos- cow The treaty was for five years. Its first article provided neither country would attack the other and that each would respect the sover- eign rights and territorial integrity of the other. It provided that in case of aggres- sion against one of the countries by a third power, the other would ob- serve a policy of friendly relations with the country attacked. ,ohn j.Niles Will Present U.S. Folk Airs Outstanding collector of American folk music, John Jacob Niles, will bring a program of native American songs to the Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre Tuesday. Many of the songs Niles will pre- sent are from the mountains of the South and have been preserved by descendants of early English, Scotch, Welsh and Irish settlers. Because of the inaccessibility of the region, the mountaineers' culture has changed little since the 17th and 18th cen- turies, and the fundamental spirit of early English music remains in their music. Niles, a tenor, has a trained voice, and formerly sang with the Cincin- nati Opera Company, but he soon turned to folk music. He has recorded an album of thi music and has con- tributed articles on it to various mu- sic publications. Niles comes here with recommen- gation of Dean Alice Lloyd, who says of him, "Mr. Niles' high tenor voice with Dulcimer accompaniments is the perfect expression of the haunt- ing music which he has brought to life." Tickets are now selling at the Lydia Mendelssohn box office for 75 -and 50 cents. All seats are reserved. { Faculty Men Seek Office In City Vote Tomorrow's biennial spring election will be of important interest to the University community. In the local election two Univer- sity professors are running on the Republican ticket for the positions of mayor and council president. They are being opposed on the Democrat- ic ticket by two business men. In the state-wide election atten- tion will be centered on the race for University regents. Incumbent re- gents Charles Hemans and Franklin Cook are seeking re-election on thel Democratic ticket. The G.O.P candi-! dates are Alfred Connable of Ann Arbor and Earl Burhans. Prof. Leigh J. Young, incumbent council president is being opposed by William Kolander for the mayor- ality post. Prof. Glenn Alt, incum- bent alderman, is in the race for the presidency of this body against Rus- sel J. Vial, Democrat. In Race For City Assessor Other city races include the 'com- petition for city assessor between Herbert W. Crippen (R) and Howard Burr (D); for justice, Jay H. Payne (R) and John W. Conlon (D)- City clerk Fred Perry is unopposed. Also there are contests for ward officers in each of the seven wards. Nine aldernen' are to be elected. The seven full-term councilmen will be chosen, as well as councilmen to fill vacancies in the second and fourth wards. Two of the candidates are unopposed. There will be a contest for the position of supervisor in each ward, -with fourteen candidates running in the seven wards. Seven constables will also be elected in the wards, but only two wards have contests for the office.- Contest For Superintendent Besides the state race for regent. state-wide attention is being attrac- ted by the contest for superintendent of public instruction, and for posi- tions on the State Board of Edu- cation. The non-partisan contests on the judicial ticket have attracted less at- tention, probably due to the fact that Circuit Judge George W. Sample is unopposed for re-election. Two mem- bers will also be named to the Su- preme Court from four candidates on the non-partisan ballot. The following names will appear on the ballot in the race for alder- man in the seven Ann Arbor wards; In tie first ward Walter R. Garthe (R) will oppose Oscar Goetz (D); in the second ward Herbert F. Sa- ger (R) will face Donald K. Ander- son (D); ,the third ward will see Fred L. Arnet (R) running against Sam S. Heusel (D); Henry T. Conlin (R) will oppose Lester H. Pollock (D) in the fourth ward; in the fifth ward William Saunders (R) has Ar- bie B. Clever opposing him; the sixth ward has John B. Waite (R) running against Emily Abbot; and Sidney P. Cook (R) faces Fred W. Norris (D) in the seventh ward. Degree Program For Honors Is Given From Student's Angle The Degree Program for Honors in Liberal Arts gives a new slant to Michigan education. It means that education is now being given -from the student's angle. Briefly, the honors program is a sytem whereby a student can work under a tutor, in a small group or individually, on a two-year study of a field of special interest to him. This system was instituted in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts in September, 1939, for a trial period of five years before it was adopted, as a permanent part of the educational opportunities offer- ed here. There is a provision that not more than 100 students shall be enrolled in the program at any one time. At present, there are 38 students both juniors and seniors, working under this system. These students Employees Asked 1To Tell Complaints To Student Senate Any working student who feels that he has a just grievance against his employer has been urged by Robert Krause. head of the Student Senate's labor survey, to notify his group, The Student Senate is conducting this ,irvey in cooperation with other leading campus organizations. Most of the investigation has been com- pleted and the results will be pub- lished after vacation. Krause explained that his group may be notified by sending a letter to him at 1108 Hill Street. He stress- ed the fact that no names of employ- ers or employes will be publicized. The purpose of the survey, accord- ing to those directing it, will be to determine the facts and then on the basis of these facts decide on proper action. The inquiry has the backing of the Dean of Students' office.

Today, Tomorrow "We must encourage standardiza- tion of conisumer goods, so that the consumer can choose intelligently in the open market," Dr. Irma H. Gross, Michigan State College home econ- omist, told members of the "Consum- er Problems" round table yesterday. This discussion, as part of the Thir- teenth Annual School of Business Administration Alumni Conference, was arranged by Mrs. Martha Saw- yer, of the business administration school. It marked the first time this round table, was included in the Alumni Conference. Consumers can't see, smell, touch' or use any of the old methods of choosing goods, Dr. Gross said, be- cause of the cellophane wrappers and because of canned goods and' boxed goods. While this modern method assures sanitation, the con- sumer has no way of telling just what he's getting. Experts Certain In the case of refrigerators, radios and automobiles, Dr. Gross pointed out, it takes an expert to be certain of what he's getting. Even experts admit that they can't be sure of what they're getting without labor- atory tests. Although under the Food and Drug Act, manufacturers are required to list the ingredients, Dr. Gross de- clared, modern methods of labelling or grading have not been standard- ized. A consumer, ignorant of the grading system used, might ask for a "choice" piece of meat. Actually, however, she said, "choice" is a third rate classification, ,following "super- prime" nd "prime." The same holds! true for potatoes; "U.S. 1" is. the .third grade potato: "fancy" and "ex- tra" are both better grades. Dr. Gross listed several Govern- ment measures which are designed to aid the consumer and also named several trade and professional groups which issue publications for the con- sumer's benefit. There are also sev- eral self-designated groups, Dr. Gross said, which publish regular bulletins containing descriptions of a com- modity in general or trade names' in particular. Consumer Wants What the consumer wants more than anything else, Dr. dross em- phasized, is acombination of grading and labelling. This methdd, called 'informative labelling," uses descrip- tive words which are not superlative adjectives, but which describe inher- ent properties of the commodity of- fered for sale. When this is accom- plished, she said, the consumer can make sure he's making his Udollar count. RCCENT ON fDDITIONS Add Springy touches to your wardrobe. Dressy and Sport Blouses'at $1 up.
