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.

Ruth Draper 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 o 5001 ITALY ATTACKS GREEK BORDER-War broke out in a new quar- ter of Europe as Italy attacked the Greek border from Albania (2) and aimed a naval blow at Corfu (1).

At Belgrade (8), it was announced that Yugo- slavia would remain neutral. London sources said that air raid pre- 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.

Lucas Resigns 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," (Continued on Page 2) BroadwayHit Play To Open Here Tonight "Three Men On A Horse," Play Production's first offering of the year, will open a four-day run at 8:30 to- night in the Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre.
