PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1940 Greece Strategic For Suez Atta By EDMUND GROSSBERG The possessor of Greece is strate- gically located for a thrust at Bri- ta~n's Neareastern lifeline, Suez, or a drive through Turkey at the vital oil fields of Iraq and Iran, Prof. Henry M. Kendall of the geographyJ department, declared yesterday. The area of Greece adjoining the Albanian frontier is the most rugged part of the very mountainous coun- try, and is without any definite or easily accessible route to the more im- portant sections, he pointed out. Athens is at the extreme south- eatsern corner of Greece and the Ital- ians have crossed the frontier at the' opposite extremity, he added. Athens is the capital and largest city in Greece with a popukation of about 772,000 people, he noted, and Saloniki in the northeast is the sec- ond city of importance with 261,000' inhabitants. Saloniki can easily be reached through the historic invasion routes by way of the Vardar River from Yugoslavia or the Maritza River val- ley from Bulgaria, Professor Kendall explained, but the route from Al- bania is rough. Referring again to the possibilities of an Axis expedition via Turkey, he pointed out .that from a topographical standpoint, such a thrust would be much easier, once entry to the Ana- Pre-Medicals To Meet Today The Pre-Medical Society will meet at 8:00 p.m. today in the East Am- phiteatre of the West Medical Build- ing. A colored moving picture of skin lesions of infectious deseases will be shown by Doctor Townsley of the Pediatrics Department of the Univer- sity Hospital. The list of students who will take the series of aptitude tests offered to members of the Society will be made at the meeting, and all those wishing to take them must at least come to sign up, since the first tests will be given this Saturday, Nov. 2nd. These tests must not be confused with the National Medical Aptitude Test to be given Nov. 8th, which is required for all students entering medical schools next fall. The tests for the members of the Pre-Medical Society are optional, are open to all classes, and are much more extensive than the National test. ally Located tck, Says Kendall tolian Plateau is gained, than the oresent dash across Greece. The majority of the people live along the coast, and the inland in- hibitants occupy thesmall valleys where they live in almost primitive Style, he explaineQ. Anyone who manages to conquer Greece will obtain little of value in nineral resources, but will inherit many serious population problems, Professor Kendall pointed out. The main value of Greece to the Axis can be only strategic, he added. The tiny country is one-sixth smaller han the state of Michigan, and had an export-import trade valued at znly $600,000 in 1938, he reported. Dr. Ehrmann Surveys War At Grad Meet With a brief survey of the Euro- pean situation in which he attempted to show the changes which have tak- en place in the war, Prof. Howard Ehrmann, of the history department, opened the regular bi-weekly series of Graduate Coffee Hours yesterday. In relating the events in this country with those in Europe, the Professor pointed out that the wide age limit and the length of service as required in the present conscrip- tion act, are an indication of two important things: the present admin- istraion regards the war situation as very grave and it wants this martial- ing of forces to lend weight to our diplomacy. The constant spreadin the war from England and Germany to tlae Balkans, to Greece, to Egypt, to the Far East are minor parts of the struggle, Professor Ehrmann said. The main scene is still in England and Germany with the outcome de- pending on the effect of the bombings of both air forces. A delay in enforcing a complete embargo on Japan is a matter of diplomacy, he stated. Diplomats fear hat such an act would only hasten a Japanese move toward the Dutch East Indies or the Philippines and thus involve the United States in war. In answer to the question put to him in the discussion period Prof. Ehr- mann stated that the collapse of France may have been due to a de- featist attitude - a "war weariness" which was followed by the absence of a desire to make sacrifices in war-I time.

Burma RoadMalaria Specialist To Make Address Here Today By ROSEBUD SCOTT A contingent of eleven Turkish aval and military officers and their amilies arrived at 8:15 a.m. here yesterday to enroll as students in the University. Sent by the Turkish government hrough the Turkish , embassy at Washington, they are part of a group Df 42 sent abroad by their country ,o study engineering and related sci- nces. Because of the turn of poli- 'cal events and the international# situation, they were withdrawn from 3ermany and returned to Turkey. 'or the past several months they have been enrolled at Roberts College, stanbul acquiring a knowledge of English in order to study in the Uni- ted States. The party of 16, including a two- year old child, was greeted by Prof. Raleigh Nelson, counselor to foreign ,tudents. They were entertained at breakfast in the Founders' Room of{ *he Union to celebrate the conclusion >f their 21-day trip from their home- .and. Planning to stay for a year or more if study, the group were assisted in xinding living accommodations by the ;taff of the International Center. During the afternoon they were nterviewedhby Dean Ivan Crawford >f the engineering college and advised, >n their programs in naval archi- tecture, mechanical and electrical en- gineering. "Professors and teachers have been very friendly to us since our arrival," Kazim Ogel, one of the group of stu- dents commented. We were especially impressed by the difference between this University and the German 'schools we have attended, another said. "In European schools we were examined only once or twice a year while here, we understand, we will be tested more often." "Ann Arbor seems a very compact cultured town that still has space to grow," they said viewing the city in its downpour of rain. The group left Athens, Greece, Sept. 21 arriving in New York City cn the Lovecorn, the first Yugoslav- ian boat to arrive in the United States since the outbreak of hostilities.

Low price meals Scenic Route Active along the Burma Road in combatting deadly malaria fever, a disease which has killed hundreds of workers and has even wiped out en- tire villages, is Dr. Robert Ellsworth Brown, a graduate of the University College of Medicine in 1918, who will speak here today. Recently arrived in America, where he will remain until his return to the Far East in December, Dr. Brown revealed- that an intensive program calculated to eradicate the disease from the Burma Road area has been planned and is now in the process of being carried out. The Burma Road runs through otherwise impassible territories, pro- viding the only major supply line be- tween China and the outside world. Its closure, authorities agree, would be a vital setback to China's de- Tense. The road is in a constant state of repair because of heavy tropical rains and Japanese bombing, and workmen are needed constantly along its en-, Lire 2,000 mile length. Although malaria has let up some- what in this season, Dr. Brown said in a report released in New York, advance arrangements have been made at several places along the' road to care for these who may con- tract the disease Turkish exchange student Fik- ret Altenal, who is one of the bet- ter known soccer players in his native land, is quick in catching onto our American life. Fikret ar- rived in Ann Arbor yesterday morn- ing and by afternoon was avidly kicking and punting a football down the narrow coridors of the International Center. Ithwas his first acquaintance with the game, but after ten minutes he frankly admitted, "Hah! I'm better than Harmon. I kick better." RESERVATIONS NOW!
