The government in Moscow ac- cording to these sources, is willing to promise Turkey armed support if Germany and Italymshould develop a rumored plan to seize the Dar- danelles. The informants asserted they had been assured by "high Communists" that negotiations were under way between Moscow and Ankara and "have every chance of success." Russia's reported concentration of troops along the Rumanian border, understood here to have been in progress even before the German "instruction division" was sent to the Black Sea, was described by pro- Soviet observers as a possible fore- runner of a Turkish-Soviet agree- ment. Such a military understanding would of course increase the risk of a Russian conflict with the Axis-a conflict which the Soviet heretofore has tried to avoid-but it is claimed here that a current lack of warmth dence that Moscow is considering shifting position. The Bulgarian government, at' pains to stay friendly with both the Axis and Russia, is reported adamant in rejecting Axis suggestions that' 300,000g to400,000 men be mobilized as a gesture against Turkey and Greece. Russia Sees Nazis Mass BUCHAREST, Oct. 15.-(P)- Paced by thickly-packed formationst of German fighter and bomber planes, 300 Nazi tanks lumbered to- day into Rumania's important Dan- ube port of Galati, opposite the Russian frontier where the Red army has mobilized between 150,000 and 180,000 men.

(The Kremlin, through its official news agency, Tass, declared today it had not received satisfactory ad- vance information concerning Ger- many's plans to send troops into Ru- mania, despite a German statement of Oct. 10 that powers friendly to the Axis had been notified Nazi forces had arrived and that more were to follow.

Headed by Draft Registrar Robert L. Williams, assistant registrar of the University, the board was to start the registration machinery rolling at 7 a.m. today, continuing until 9 p.m., recording necessary informa- tion about all out-of-town men stu- dents who range from 21 to 35 years1 in age, inclusive. Exemptions from draft registration will be few, according to the exemp- tion lists released by Registrar Wil- liams. Only eligible students not re- quired to register with the University board are those who return to their home cities to register and members of the federally recognized active na- tional guard, the officers reserve corps, the regular army reserve, the enlisted reserve corps and the ad- vanced corps, senior division, ROTC.

Hope Of Opera Revival Noted In Registration An encouraging first day's regis- tration of 61 persons interested in participating in a Mimes Union Opera has revived the hopes of many that the campus will witness a 1941 edition of the shows that made Mich- igan famous back in the "golden twenties." A number of the registrants are veterans of last year's production, "Four Out of Five." The 'misfit fifth,' Bob Titus, '42; Jimmy Neilson, '41, of the team of Silcott and Neil- son; novelty tap dancer, Dick Strain, '42; "Master of Ceremonies," Jerry Brenner, '42E; and Art Treut, '41A, the "sorority girl" of last year's Opera, have already registered. However, there is still plenty of room for many more, as any rebirth of the Opera depends on the num- ber who register between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. and between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. today and tomorrow in the Union Lobby.

Eleven Questions To Be Answered WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. -(p)- The nation's young men will place themselves at their country's call for military training tomorrow in the first drat registration ever conduct- ed with America at peace. In every community the men, some 16,500,000 strong, will go to desig- nated registration places, answer a series of eleven questions, sign their names and await the results of a gi- gantic lottery that will determine which of them must spend a year in military camps. All men between 21 and 35, inclusive, must register. The registration places-precinct voting headquarters, schools, and other buildings designated by the local authorities-will open at 7 a.n local time. At 8 a.m., EST., Presi- dent Roosevelt will make a radio ad- dress on the draft. At 9 p.m., local time, the registration places will close, unless there are men still wait- ing in line. All waiting at that hour will be registered if it takes until morning. National Headquarters Quiet With a gigantic task of organiza- tion accomplished, national draft headquarters here probably was the quietest spot connected with conscrip- tion today, a condition which officials expected would continue through to- morrow. Precautions against every foreseeable hitch had been taken. During the day, headquarters an- nounced local draft boards had been appointed and approved for 38 states and the District of Columbia. From time to time statements were issued on various phases of registration, in- cluding an announcement that all aliens, except those connected with foreign diplomatic and consular staffs, must register if they are with- in the specified draft ages. Senate Confirms Appointment The day also saw the Senate con- firm unanimously the appointment of Clarence A. Dykstra, president of the University of Wisconsin, as the national director of selective service. The action had been delayed by the objection yesterday of Senator Holt (Dem.-W.Va.), an opponent of con- scription and of the administration's foreign policy. For the big registration job, an army of about a million officials was mobilized at the registration places. As each man presents himself, he will be asked (1) his name, (2) his address, (3) telephone number, (4) age, (5) place of birth, (6) country of citizenship, (7) the name of a per- son who will always know his ad- dress, (8) his relationship to the lat- ter, (9) the address of the latter, (10) his employer's name, and (11) his place of employment. A four by six-inch filing card, up- on which his answers have been en- tered, will be handed. him for his signature, and that is all that each will be called upon to do tomorrow, Rebekah, I.O.O.F. To Install Officers More than 2,000 delegates of Re- bekah Assembly and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows will bring their annual convention to a close here today with a series of events climaxed by the installation of the new assem- bly officers 3:30 p.m. in the Rack- ham Building FormerMinister Thomas, Ex-Editor Vandenberg, To Give Forum Talks' 'A former minister from Princeton and an ex-newspaper editor who once was a Michigan law student will be the main speakers at the second and third meetings of the Michigan Forum tomorrow and Sun- day afternoons, respectively, in the Michigan Union. Norman Thomas, socialist candi- date for president, is the former clergyman, and Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michigan the former journalist. Now in diametrically opposite poli- tical parties, both Thomas and Van- denberg have experienced long and colorful careers. After graduating from Princeton University in 1905, Thomas spent six years at Union Theological Seminary, matriciating in 1911. That same Thomas headed his party's ticket in '32 and '36 and was unanimously renominated as presidential candidate in the April convention this spring. He is the author of a number of books, including "America's Way Out-a Program for Democracy," "As I See It," "Human Exploitation," and "War -No Profit, No Need, No Glory." Like Thomas, Vandenberg is also the author of several books dealing with political and social thought. Van- denberg, however, has used the medi- um of the historical approach to ex- press his convictions, writing a biog- raphy, "Alexander Hamilton, the Greatest American" and later "If Hamilton Were Here Today.' However, Vandenberg started writ- ing a long time before the decade of the twenties. Strange as it may seem 4ti ti. tti. :".
