Surrounded by Nazi party stal- warts in the memorialeve observation of the party's unsuccessful Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, the German Fuehrer declared he was determined to carry the war to a decisive conclusion, and rejected any compromise. H said German production capac- ity was the highest in the world and the Reich soon Would have the ca- pacity of the rest of Europe added to its own. Just on year ago the Fuehrer nar- rowly escaped death from a time bomb planted in the beer hall scene of the annual celebration. Tonight he spoke behind closed doors to his old omrades of 17 years ago, in contrast to the open-house festivities heretofore. Bombers Blast British Shipping (By The Associated Pr'ss) BERLIN, Nov. 8.-An entire British merchant convoy of from 15 to 20 ships totaling 86,000 tons has beenl destroyed in the very middle of Bri- tain's vital north Atlantic lifeline by German surface warships, according to today's Nazi claims. This success in the air and sea counter-blockade of Britain apparent- ly came three days ago, but the heightening tempo of the campaign was reflected in the report of an informed source that today Stuka dive bombers blasted 31,000 tons of shipping to the bottom out of strong- ly-protepted convoys and damaged 23,000 tons. Stuka bombers, the terror which Germany unleashed against her op- posing lines in her sweep through the low countries and France, are rang- ing around the British Isles and more than 300 miles to sea in\ the ef- fort to choke off Britain's suppplies. Six ships were reported to have gone under today under the Stukas' bombsights, two of them "somewhere west of Ireland.' Yesterday, accord- ing to the high command, two Brit- ish ships were sunk by aerial bom- bardment and a 10,000-ton British cruiser was among several ships re- ported damaged by bombs. Such blows against the shipping of a nation which must import and export in orderdto live and Mfigh represent the direst threats to the convoy system, which saved Britain's world war commerce and upon which she relies in the present conflict. Various bits of unofficial informa- tion indicated the convoy was at- tacked Tuesday about 1,000 miles out of Newfoundland on the main line of supply from Canada and the United States. Former Prime Minister Reported Ill LONDON, Nov. 8.-(P)--Neville Chamberlain, the apostle of peace and patience who led Britain through the Munich crisis of September, 1938, and finally surrendered the post of Prime Minister only when the Ger- man blitzkrieg began in the low coun- tries last' May 10, lay gravely ill to- Gravely Ill NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN Many Watch I Student Male Perilous Climb' By MYRON DANN Defying 14 doctors, 7 policemen, 10 powerhouse employees, 9 firemen, and 40,000 volts, an ill University Student climbed to the top of the transformers at the University power plant, yesterday morning and re- mained there for more than 30 min- utes. He was being taken from the Health Service to another hospital for treat- Ment when he ran to the transformers and climbed to the top, despite ef- forts to restrain him. Power was im- mediately cut off all over the cam- pus so that he and would-be rescuers would not be endangered. Rescuers were balked at first by his steadfast refusal to come down. More than once ladders and ropes were placed against the transformers only to be drawn up to the top by the student and held there. The danger of his .escapade can be realized that if he had touched the ground and the wires' of the trans- formers at the same time he would have been immediately electrocuted by 40,000 volts. He finally came down when all the rescuers climbed up on the transform- er at one time, forming a human net so that he was forced down. He then left with Dr. Agate and Dr. Him- ler, for a private hospital. Lights, adding machines, cash reg- isters, elevators, clocks and all other machines driven by electrical power on campus stopped working for a short period while he was forced down. Extend Training Deadline Postponement of registration for link training until noon today in the offices of the Aeronautical Engineer- ing, department was announced last night by Prof. E. W. Conlon, director ,'f the local Civil Aeronautics Author- ity flight courses. Conference Hears Noted Psychiatrist 'Child Delinquency Bred By Adults,' Dr. Hulbert Tells Personnel Group Convention To Hear School Panel Today Adults breed delinquency by speak- ing disrespectfully of other adults in he presence of children, according to Dr. Harold S. Hulbert, '14M, psychia- trst of Chicago, Illinois, who lectured before the Tri-State Conference on Pupil Personnel yesterday in the Rackham Building. Disrespectful opinions of the op- posing parties in a political campaign cause children to believe that the laws of the winning party are not deserving of respect and should not be obeyed. Freedom of speech is not such, said Dr. Hulbert, that we must listen to words that breed disrespect. Dr. Meyers Appears Dr. Garry Cleveland Meyers, ed- itor of the magazine, "Children's Activities," told the educators that each step of learning in academic courses must be adjusted to the ability and skills of the learner. He warned against the idea. of some teachers that vocational curses like woodwork- ing are for "dumbells." In an afternoon lecture Dr. Hugo Masters, Consultant in Adult Educa- tion at the W. K. Kellogg Institute, asked for the development of the responsibility of the parent in the school program, This responsibility, said Dr. Masters, must be worked out by the school and the parent cooper- atively. A critical view of what is being done in the name of education should be developed. Judge Kelley Speaks At the banquet in the Union Judge Camille Kelley of Chattanooga, Tenn., spoke on "The Adventure and Re- sponsibility of Present Day Living." Judge Kelley questioned the belief that the psychologist means unre- strained freedom when he advocates giving the child free-rein in his af- fairs. "There is no freedom without control," said Judge Kelley, "and when psychology pleads that the child should have freedom he means that the child, with the aid of mod- ern inventions like the radio, should develop control of his own." The Convention will hear a panel at 9:00 a.m. in the Rackham Build- ing today on "How Can the School be Adjusted to the Physical, Mental, and Emotional Life of the Individ- ual Child.'Dr. William Sadler, Spec- ial Consultant in Psychiatry at the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, will speak at the closing luncheon at 12:30 p.m. in the Union.

UPC To Plan New Program Defenders Trapped BritishI Try To Fascist Bolster Smash Force; Morale; Entire Greek Line Is Claimed Intact (By The Associated Press) ATHENS, Greece, Nov. 8.-Greek troops were reported tonight to have pushed back the invading Italians along great sections of a mountain-_ ous battle front, and at the end of 12 days of this new war, the defenders' postion was declared by neutral ex- perts to be as good or better than it was on the first day of the Fascist assault. The Italians, according to available military information, had been thrown back both in the center sector and on the northeastern or right GreJ. wing in the territory of Al- bania - the country from which the invasion was sprung. Italians Trapped In the center, a large but unde- termined number of Italiansuwas re-; ported trapped some days ago, and the action now appeared to be aimed at their encirclement and possible an- nihilation or capture. The Greek high command itself had announced that Italian attacks on the Greek left, in the theatre near the Ionian Sea, had been repulsed. Thus the entire Greek line appeared to be not only holding firm, but to be pressing back the Italians in a great rough arc. The day's actions were heavy and artillery fire boomed intermittently through the high, rugged terrain of the defense line. The Italians had brought up heavy mechanized forces Greek guns were concentrated to pro- tect the coastal route to Ioannina, stragetic city. No Break Neutral observers said they could find no evidence of any break in Greek communications or supply and reported troop and civilian morale was high - due in part, perhaps, to British aid. ; Italian air activity is continuing. to harass the Greeks, the Ministry of Home Security reporting during the day that Italian fliers had bombed villages, towns, rural districts and shepherd's settlements in the inter- ior. It was asserted, however, there had day I reject now and here any comn- casualties."

Slavin, professor of philosophy at the Catholic Univer- sity of America defined ii the con- cluding lecture in the "Nature of Man" series sponsored by the Stu- dent Religious Association here yes- terday. Fi'om objective study of man s a whole he may be regarded as a ra- tional animal with intrinsic morality. Thus, Father Slavin insisted, man has been created for supernatural des- tiny. Because of this inherent nature man must know in what direction he is headed and what his relation is to his fellowmen. Through the char- acter of man's activity, one can de- termine his true nature, he declared. The expression of cognative experi- ence is possible through its acquisi- the lecturer pointed out. Function- ing as the motivation for all activity, the soul cannot be swept into oblivion the neo-Thomist insisted. Nothing that exists as an entity in the uni- verse can be destroyed. Conflict between the spiritual and material in man's life may cause the loss of the former which reason can ,never restore, Father Slavin de- clared. Man's will is his equipment for fighting and for saving the world. Unpredictable and immeasurable as he is, man has dominion over the world. Since man has human capacities, he can carve out his own destiny and perfect his nature, the philosopher stressed. His fate is marked by the quality of his distinctions and choice for the betterment of the society in which he lives.
