President Delivers Ta lk
Congra tuIa tingCrafe
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29. -(I))-
President Roosevelt stood looking on.
Secretary Stimson, blindfolded, gin-
gerly reached his left hand into the
famous old goldfish bowl and with-
drew it, grasping a tiny blue cylinder.
An Army officer opened it, took from
first 350 Ann Arbor men in the order
handed it to the President.
"The first number drawn by the,
Secretary of War," Mr. Roosevelt
slowly announced, is "serial number
158."
There was a sharp, quickly repressed
little scream from a woman at the
rear of the hall. Her son's number
had been the first drawn in the great
peace time draft lottery of 1940.
Mr. Roosevelt, looking tired after
his strenuous campaigning yesterday,
started the drawing with a brief
broadcast speech in which he said
"The tragic circumstances in lands
across the seas have forced upon our
nation the need to take measures for
total defense."
Mr. Roosevelt specifically address-
ing the men who are to be called up
for military training as the result of
today's drawing, said:
"You will be members of an army
which first came together to achieve
independence and to establish cer-
tain fundamental rights for all men.
Ever since that first muster, our
democratic army has existed for one
purpose only; the defense of our free-
dom."
It has been estimated that Washte-
naw County will send approximately
Girl Debaters.

ested in debating will be held at

In the western conference debat-
ing schedule a University team will

Thrills Crowd
With Sketches
In her first Ann Arbor appearance
in more than eighteen years, Ruth
Draper. peopled the stage of Hill
Auditorium last night with several
characters from her store of sketches
in the opening lecture of the 1940-41
Oractorical Association Series.
Before beginning her program Miss
Draper spoke to the audience and
reminded them that she was not
caricaturing these people, but that she
was characterizing them. With a
fine performance, she lived for the
audience the few moments in the
lives of those people as she feltJ
they had lived them.
There was no interview with this
distinguished monologuist, because
the press releases said that Miss Drap-
er refused all requests for inter-
views; but in an informal chat over
the phone earlier in the day, Miss

cautions had been ordered throughout Bulgaria (9) for the first time of
the war. What Turkey (5) would do was a question, but she has said
that an attack on Greece would be considered a threat to the Dardan-
elles. At Florence, Italy (4) Chancellor Hitler of Germany and Premier
Mussolini conferred.

Council Duties
in the mountain passes were reported
holding firm. Their- battle cry was'
"throw them into the sea." Greek
officials said crisply: "Operations are
developing satisfactorily."
Reservists of the 500,000 available
slied toward the battle zone to swell
Greece's 100,000 regulars, as neutral
military observers wondered how long
they could hold.off the better-equip-
ped Fascists who have thousands of
airplanes to Greece's estimated 125.
The Greek high command an-
nounced that the Italian invaders
used strong forces with light and
heavy artillery in Epirus, the south-
western section of the border with
Albania.
In western Macedonia, the other
end on the border line, the situation
"remains unchanged," the command's
communique said, and Italian avia-
tion activity throughout remained
"very light."
Turkey still sat on the fence and so
did Russia. The former apparently
was waiting to see what Russia did
and how effectively Britain aided little
Greece which confronts Axis aims of
dominating the Dardanelles.
There was no indication Russia in-
tended to abandon her neutrality.
Perhaps one reason for that was a
British military expert's estimate that
Germany has moved more than 1,000-
000 troops into the Balkans to bolster
Russian-German "friendship."
London military informants said
Britain was speeding aid to Greece
"in the widest sense of the term,"
