Daily To Celebrate
50th Anniversary
With Staff Banquet


Board In Control Invites
750 Publication Editors,
Associates To Reunion
Special Souvenir
Paper Is Planned
Fifty years of continued publica-
tion will be marked by. Michigan
Daily staff members and staff alum-
ni Friday, Tov. 15, when the Board
in Control of Student P'ublications
gives a banquet to commemorate the
anniversary in the Union Ballroom.
The committee in charge of the
50th Anniversary Celebration Ban-
quet has sent invitations to more than
750 men who worked on the junior
or senior staff of The Daily since the
paper began publication in 1890. Also
invited will be the 175 members of
the present staff, including sopho-
mores. This list comprises editorial
and business personnel.
Students and faculty men who have
served on the Board in Control since
it was established in 1901 will also
be asked to come back for the cele-
bration.
The Daily will hold open house Fri-
day afternoon and Saturday morning,
'Nov. 15 and 16. As a souvenir of the
occasion, a special edition of The
Daily will be set up, including by-
lined stories by many of The Daily
alumni.
When The Daily was first printed,
it was called the "U. of M. Daily" and
was organized by a group of students
outside the jurisdiction of the Uni-
versity. After the first small Daily
was enlarged in 1901, its name was
changed to "The Michigan Daily
News," and then later in the year to
its present title.
About this time, as the result of an
investigation, the University pur-
chased the newspaper stock and set
up a governing board, forerunner of
the present Board, which was formed
in 1919, allowing also for a savings
fund which later allowed for the erec-
tion of the present Student Publica-
tions Build, home of the present sev-

writing.
Defeatists Are
!Fascists, Says
Liberal Frank
"If we are defeatists then we are
fascists or friends of the fascists,"
said Waldo Frank in an address be-
fore more than five hundred people
Sunday night at the Rackham audi-
torium in the first of the Hillel
Foundation forum series.

"We believe in ourselves, but the
fifth column is made up of the people
who don't have faith in mankind,"
he said, "who unconsciously believe
in fascism. It is fifth columnists who
don't care enough to die for the fu-
ture."
Mr. Frank pointed out two ways in

fessor of theology at Yale University's
Divinity School will deliver the second'
lecture of the series on the "Nature
of Man" sponsored by the Student

pearance in Ann Arbor when she in-
augarates the Sixty-second Annual
Choral Union Concert Series at 8:30
p. m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium.

has had a unq4e musical record. She
first appeared in special public school
entertainments, and later was audi-
tioned by important musicians which
resulted in a small fund being created
out of the nickels and dimes of sup-
porters for her continued musical
instruction. After winning numerous
contests she appeared with the Phila-
delphia Symphony Orchestra, and
then went abroad where she gained
further recognition. Her American
debut proved to be the start of an
outstanding musical career.

War Secretary
To Open Draft
LotteryOct.29
Nation-Wide Drawing Plan
Completed At Dykstra,
Roosevelt Conference
800,000 To Train
Within 8 Months
WASHINGTON, Oct 21 - OP)
At noon on October 29, Secretary of
War Stimson will draw the first
number in a nation-wide lottery in
which nearly 17,000,000 young men
hold tickets - 800,000 of them good
for a year's service in the Army.
Plans for the lottery were complet-
ed today at a conference of Dr. Clar-
ence Dykstra, director of selective
service, and President Roosevelt. At
first Dystra said the President would
draw the first number, but later it
was announced that Mr. Roosevelt
desired this honor.for Stimson.
Within three weeks after Stimson
lifts the first blue number capsule
from a big goldfish bowl, the initial
contingent of 30,000 draftees will be
on their way to training camps.
Men will be called to training -
800,000 by next June 15 - in the or-
der in which their names are drawn
from the bowl, unless they volun-
teer without waiting to be called or
unless they are deferred from service.
After Secretary Stimson draws the
first 1940 number at the Interdepart-
mental Auditorium, subsequent cap-
sules will be picked by other high-
ranking government officials before
the drawing settles down to its tedious
routines.

Scuffles With Heckler
DETROIT, Oct. 21.-(AP)-Mayor
Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York,
paying a. whirlwind visit to Detroit
in behalf of President Roosevelt's re-
election, climaxed a busy afternoon
by scuffling with a heckler on the
City Hall steps today.
As the stocky La Guardia was
walking down the City Hall steps
after a call on Mayor Edward J.
Jeffries, a man stepped out from the
crowd and cried: ti
"Did Boss Flynn send you here?"
Witness said Mayor La Guardia
strode up to the man, seized him by
the shoulders and began to shake
him, meanwhile shouting: "You take
that back. Are you going to take
that back?"
At that moment police stepped in,
separated the two and took the heck-
ler to headquarters.

Michioan Party
To~ Lay Plans~
For Expansion
All Students Are Invited
To Attend First Meeting;
Group To Meet In Union
Realizing the need of more co-
ordination among student organiza-
tions and activities, members of the
Michigan Party, formerly a political
group and now an officially recog-
nized campus organization, will meet
at 8 p.m. today in the Union to lay
plans for expanding their program
to include all campus factions and
activities.
Last April the Party promoted the
election of eight out 'of 16 candidates
for the Student Senate and polled a
total of 1,200 votes. Since this poli-
tical success the Party has decided to
subordinate its political character to
a wider range of activity which will
include sponsoring prominent speak-
ers and forming a state-wide speak-
ers bureau in which students will
participate.
All students of conservative tend-
encies both men and women, fraterni-
ty, sorority members and independ-
ents are invited to attend the initial
meeting and aid in forming the future
policy of the organization. The
Party was officially recognized by
the Committee on Student Affairs at
the last Committee meeting.
The Executive Committee and char-
ter members of the Party are: Paul
Hoper, '42, William Hurley, '42, Rich-
ard Ebbets, '42E, William Langford,
'42, William Comstock, '42, John
Walsh, '42, Winston H. Cox, '42,

Churchill Broadcasts Plea
For Non-Interference
To Nazi-Ridden France
Powers Attempt
LineupOf Balkans
(By The Associated Press)
German bombers, giving London a
virtually undisturbed night's sleep
because of a blinding ground fog,
concentrated their explosive blows on
Liverpool and the towns of the Mer-
sey and Midlands last night and ear-
ly today in the wake of Prime Minis-
ter Churchill's defiant declaration
that Britain intended to "beat the life
out of Hitler."
Churchill, addressing defeated
France by radio last night, declared
that Englishmen defiantly were wait-
ing for the "long-promised" invasion
across the English Channel - "and
so are the fishes!"
While the Prime Minister broad-
cast his appeal to Nazi-dominated
France, "if you cannot help us, at
least you will not hinder us," the
RAF followed up last night's 100-
bombs-a-minute onslaught on Ger-
man bases on the French coast with
another terrific attack, apparently
aided by the Royal Navy. Long-range.
hore guns in the Dover-Calais area
also dueled.
RAF Bombs Berlin
Nazi spokesmen in Berlin complain-
ed of the RAF's countering thrusts
against Berlin as "outright terror"
committed against civilians there.
Other raids on industrial Milan
and Turin in northern Italy were
described by the British as a "fore-
taste of the gathering strength of
the Royal Air Force."
Fascist sources in -Rome said eight
persons were killed and 15 wounded
in the British attacks.
They said their own weekend at-
tack on the oil-rich Bahrein Is-
land in the Persian Gulf had a po-
litical motive - the hope that it
would increase anti-British feeling
in nearby India.
Balkan Line-Up Seen
In the Balkans a redoubled German
campaign to bring Hungary and Bul-
garia completely into the Rome-Ber-
lin-Tokyo Axis was seen and there
were reports of British efforts to line
up Greece, Turkey and Yugoslavia
against further Nazi incursions to-
ward the east.
In Yugoslavia, however, Premier
Dragisa Cvetkovic warned against
being drawn into the "misadventure"
and promised to continue "friendly
relations" with the Axis partners.
This readily was interpreted by dip-
lomats to mean a notice to Britain
that Yugoslavia will not join an an-
ti-Axis front with Greece and Tur-
key which have taken military pre-
cautions because of Italian troop
movements in Albania and German
military penetration of Rumania.

"Success," he said through the

"That's fine, Mr. Webb. Now, what
