Diplomatic Blows
Feared In Meeting
Between Dictators

Russian Position Not
Known As Leaders
Plan Confab Today
Russia, Britain
To Reopen Talk
(By The Associated Press)
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini
are scheduled to meet at Brenner
Pass today for a new history-making
conference, pointing to the pos-
sibilities that the Axis partners are
cooking up another diplomatic world
shaker and that all may not be well
with the new Rome-Berlin-Tokyo
alliance.
Usually well-informed Germans'
said merely that the meeting would
be for the purpose of putting the
"finishing touches" to diplomatic ac-
tivity which already has brought Ja-
pan into the Axis and may soon
bring in Spain.
"Something official" was promised
today on the Brenner Pass meeting.
The Fuehrer's press chief, a regular
attendant at important -Axis confer-
ences, already has left the German
capital-but whether he was headed
toward Italy, Moscow or somewhere
else was not disclosed.
In connection with Russia's posi-
tion in the new lineup, it was re-
called that despite German protesta-
tions of "all is well with Moscow,"
German Foreign Minister Joachim
Von Ribbentrop probably would go
to see. Joseph Stalin to clarify his
position.
It was considered significant also
that Virginio Gayda, Il Duce's editor-
ial alter ego, took the pains yesterday
to proclaim stoutly the Axis partners
in "full agreement" and satisfied
with what one another "has done
and prepared."
Low Clouds Shield
London From Nazis
LONDON, Oct. 4. (Friday)-p)-
Shielded by a low cloud bank and its
usual anti-aircraft barrage, London
early today and last night had one
of its lightest night raids of the
27-day-old German airblitz.
German bombers twice gave up
completely and left the metroporis
alone during the hours when they
usually hit the hardest. Some bombs
fell, however, before midnight in the
northwest and southeast suburbs.
In contrast to the nightly toll of
casualties heretofore for 26 consecu-
tive nights, there was not so much as
a scratch reported up to an early
hour this morning. '
One small village near an ancient
castle in southeast England was
bombed during the night. 'Raiders
were reported also over a southwest
coast town and another in Wales.
The quiet here was shared by a
strange silence prevailing along the
channel coast opposite Britain, where
the RAF -has carried out vicious
nightly attacks on invasion, ports.
The Air Ministry said nevertheless
night operations were "in progress
as usual"-meaning apparently that
inland targets were bearing the brunt
of the night's foray.
German warplanes moved unseen
in the high haze above London all
day today, apparently loosing their
bombs by chance rather than cal-
culation, and struck repeatedly at
the industrial midlands in perhaps
the heaviest series of daylight raids
since the war began.
Tonight the sirens again lifted
their chorus of warning, signaling
the 27th consecutive nightly raid on
the city. The anti-aircraft batteries,
which had reddened the skies from
morning to evening became one of
the mightiest daytime barrages ever
sent aloft.

Chamberlain Quits

LONDON. Oct. 3.-P)-Britain-at-

House, Senate
Approve Large
Appropriati6n
Minimum Of Discussion
Precedes Bill Passage;
Ready ForSignature
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-(MP)-The
session's last big defense appropria-
tion bill-$1,482,000,000 for conscrip-
tion and other military purposes-
received final congressional approval
today with a minimum of discussion
and opposition.
Quickly the measure slipped
through the Senate. A little later
the House unexpectedly accepted a
$12,700,000 increase written into the
measure by the Senate. That action
made the bill ready for President
Roosevelt's signature, without the
usual formality of resolving House-
Senate differences "in conference."
The bill ran the total of appropri-
ations and authofizations for defense
at this session of Congress up to
$12,149,532,516, the House Appropri-
ations Committee said.
The developments came a few
hours after White House aides had
announced President Roosevelt would
tell the story .of the defense pro-
gram in a straight narrative," and
"non-political" speech to be broad-
cast at 9 p.m. (EST) Oct. 12 from
a private train at Dayton, O.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
the great conscription lottery was
scheduled for some day between Oct.
21 and 26 and that the army, draw-
ing its lesson from Europe, was or-
ganizing the first battalion of Amer-
ican parachute troops.
In another action, the Senate
passed legislation authorizing the
expenditure of $150,000,000 or hous-
ing defense workers where such facil-
ities are not now available. The
measure now goes back to the House
for action on amendments.

November 1
For Election
Presidential Proportional
Representation Poll Trial
To Gauge Political Poll
Group Adopts Plan
For Debate Series
November 1 will be the "first Tues-
day after the first Monday in No-
vember" on the Michigan campus.
That is, the day on which the Student
Senate last night decided to hold a
presidential proportional representa-
tion poll in conjunction with its reg-
ular fall Senate elections.
Meeting for the first time this fall,
the Senate gave unanimous approv-
al to the measure that will attempt
to gauge the shift in student senti-
ment on national politics as record-
ed in the Congress poll last week.
The poll also will serve as an experi-
ment in the use of the proportional
representation method of balloting
in a presiden ial election.
The meeting was one of the most
prcd-W tiv in h^ C 2a-,e's history,
for after approving detail of the
election, the body unanimpusly adopt-
ed plans for the Michigan Forum-
a regular s ries of student debates
on current issues modeled along lines
of Oxford University's famous Union.
The first meeting of the Forum
was set for 7:45 p.m., Oct. 12, in the
North Lounge of the Union. Two
Young Republicans and two campus
"liberals "are scheduled to debate on
the question, "Resolved That the

sponsored drive to have more money

was begun last' spring at the sug-
gestion of honorary Senator, Prof.

for this year, and a Senate cam-
paign to obtain $1,000 more by next
June is on the agenda as one of the

Mrs. Smith, Dr. Williams
Head Group To Register
Out-of-State Applicants
4,345 Students
Eligible Oct. 16
The 4,345 students eligible for se-
lective service will find special regis-
tration facilities ready when "draft
day," Wednesday, October 16, ar-
rives, according to Mrs. Luella Smith,
Washtenaw County clerk.
Authority for the establishment of
a draft board or commission to ac-
commodate the registration of stu-
dents who are not residents of Ann
Arbor has been delegated to Mrs.
Smith, who wilf be aided by Dr. Rob-
ert L. Williams, assistant University
registrar.
Although Dr. Williams has not yet
been sworn in as a selective service
registrar, he has started work on
tentative plans for the operation of
draft registration machinery and has
prepared a list of students eligible
for registration., The list has been
broken down according to schools
and colleges and sublists forwarded
to all deans, who are expected to
take charge of registration in their
departments.
According to government esti-
mates, approximately 50 assistant
draft registrars will be needed to
handle the students who will regis-
ter, at the rate of one prospective
draftee per 20 minutes. Tentative
plans provide for establishment of
registration offices for these workers
to be set up in each of the schools
and colleges in the University.
Students registering with the Uni-
versity's special board will come un-
der the selective service quotas of
their home states. Information ob-
tained in Ann Arbor will be forward-
ed to draft headquarters in other
states.
Registration with the University's
workers is not obligatory if out-of-
town students register in their home
cities. Ann Arbor students are re-
quired to register in their regular
voting precincts.

Pledges' Pots
To Hide Tops
Of Freshmen
Pots on the domes of the class of
'44 will be strictly in fashion this fall
as the result of a ruling made yes-
terday by the Men's Judiciary Coun-
cil and the Interfraternity Council.
The hoary tradition of freshman
"dinks" was revived last year after
a lapse of three years when upper-
classmen attempted to #put fresh-
men on a basis of equality.
The rule requiring the wearing of
pots this year applies to allfraternity
pledges apd is optional for independ-
ent men. Administration of the rule
rests in the hands of individual fra-
ternity house presidents.
Black Friday, the date of which will
be announced by the Union at a later
time, will be Independence Day for
the frosh, for thereafter they are
free to expose their bald skulls to
the elements.
Pots may be purchased at Moe's
Sport store beginning today, Ward
Quaal, '41, president of the Judiciary
Council, announced.

As Reds

Schoolboy Is Driven From Mound
In Fourth; Ripple Hammers
Long Homer With One On

By JUDSON BAILEY
CROSLEY FIELD, CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-(A')-Cincinnati's rebellious
Reds, who were counted out yesterday, were counted back into the 1940
World Series today with a 5 to 3 triumph over the Detroit Tigers on the
superb three-hit hurling of "Lucky Bucky" Walters.
The warm. happy Cincinnati constituents, 30,640 of them, cheered their
heroes' every move as the willowy right-hander redeemed a wild start and
his supposedly weak-hitting teammates raided Schoolboy Rowe for all
their runs in the first four innings.
The tide of battle turned a complete somersault as Walters, after walk-
ing the first two men he faced and giing up' two runs in the first inning,
settled down to retire the Tigers in order in five of the remaining eight
frames.
The only hits he gave upi were a 'single to Charley Gehringer in the
first, a double to Pinky Higgins in the fifth and another two-bagger to
Hank Greenberg in the sixth, when Detroit got its final run.
In contrast the Reds pelted Rowe, who lost only three games and won
16 during the regular campaign, for all their runs and eight of their nine
hits before he was relieved by Rookie John Gorsica with one out in the 4th.
The Reds were set down in succession in the first, but bunched four
singles in the second, a single and a home run by Jim Ripple in the third
and successive doubles in the fourth.
- Gorsica, a right-hander who had been expected to be held in reserve
as a starter for the fourth game, allowed only one scratch single in the
eighth inning and let no other runners reach first base in the 4 2/3 innings
he worked. But his matchless performance came too late.
The National League champions, who pulled Walters out of his opening
'jam with a minimum of damage by
1 Tmeans of a fast double play, put up
W ll~de Urges a tight defense thereafter and never
were in danger of being overtaken.
