Reich Move
In Lorraine
Is Protested
Nazis Warn Vichy Cabinet
To Aid African Colonies'
Against DeGaulle Troops
Navy Reported Sent
To Protect Africa
(By The Associated Press)
VICHY, France, Nov. 14.-A rift
in the newly formulated French pol-
icy of collaboration with Germany
developed today when the French
government announced it had pro-
tested vigorously over the mass expul-
sion of residents of the German-opcu-
pied province of Lorraine.
A communique announcing the pro-
test to the German Armistice Com-
mission was issued shortly after vice-
preiier Pierre Laval had returned
abruptly from his negotiations with
German authorities in Paris and re-
ported at a hurried summoned cabinet
meeting.
(Diplomatic circles in Switzerland
reported the cabinet acted to stop the
spread of the De Gaullist "free French
forces northward from French equa-
torial Africa as the result of a Ger-
man-Italian Threat that if the Vichy
government does not defend the Afri-
can Empire the Axis will be forced to
do so.
(It was reported French naval units
had left their continental bases for
African ports. This report followed
recent indications that the Vichy gov-
ernment is uneasy over the attitude
of Gen. Maxime Weygand, its chief
in North Africa.)
The communique on the expulsion
of Lorraine residents said French-
speaking and pro-French people had
been given the choice of going to
Poland or France and that seven
trains daily had been arriving in
French territory with the refugees
since Nov. 11.
A government spokesman said some
of them had been given but a few
hours to collect 2,000 Francs and a
suitcase of clothing before starting.
Dog Meat Is Included
In Modern Nazi's Diet
BERLIN, Nov. 14.--WP)-The meat
of dogs was legalized for human con-
sumption today for greater Germany,
effective Jan. 1, 1941.
Horse meat is available in some
restaurants.
Unlicensed and unclaimed mongrels
presumably will furnish an additional
supply of low-cost meat, although
many better canines are trained for
military service with the armed forces.
Inspection of dog meat will be made
under a provision of the new law.

Novadoc Crew Rescued From Ship Grounded By Freezing Gales

(Condensed- From Associated Press)
Seventeen members of the crew of the freighter Novadoc were rescued from the grounded ship off Pentwater, Mich., as prospects of relief yes-
terday presaged the end of a four day cold wave in the frigid Midwest. Sailors from the stricken vessel are shown being taken aboard the fishing tug,
"The Three Brothers" which reached the ship after earlier attempts in the stormy waters had failed. Two members of the Novadoc crew were reported
lost. The weather bureau at Chicago predicted an upward trend in temperatures for most of the states in the central region but added that the rise
would be slow. Searchers patrolled the Lake Michigian shore near Ludington, for additional bodies of sailors who lost their lives in gales which
swept over the shipping lanes Monday and Tuesday. Listed as lost were two big freighters and two fishing tugs and 67 men who were aboard the
four boats when the storm struck. Two other boat hands also perished during the blow. The 69 deaths on Lake Michigan, plus 90 fatalities attrib-
uted to the cold and destructive winds in the inland sectors of the Nprthern states increased the toll to 159.

Interfraternity
Head Selected
ByCouncihnen
James Harrison, '41, member of
Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, last
night was elected president of the
41 general fraternities at the Uni- ,
versity.
Running against Harrison in the
election to fill the position vacated

last month, were William Ash of Sig-
ma Phi Epsilon and Frank Savage of
Phi Kappa Psi, both '41. They were
nominated by the Council's Execu-
tive Committee.
Harrison has served two years on
the lower staff of the Council and
resigned an Executive Committee
post to run for the presidency. He
participated in the Union Opera last
year and is a member of Druids, lit-
erary college honorary society.

illolotoff, Hitler Define

675 Freshmen

'Spheres O1
BERLIN, Nov. 14-W)-Vyacheslaff
Molotoff and Adolf Hitler have fixed o
Soviet Russia's sphere of interest in f
he authoritarian new order for Eur-
ope, Africa and Asia, sources usually E
in the know asserted tonight after the
Russian's departure for home. i
Offically, the Hitler-Molotoff talks s
led to "mutual accord on all impor- r
tant questions of interest to Germanyc
and the U.S.S.R." but neither the
questions nor the decisions were list-r
ed.
Unofficial but reliable sources lefts
no doubt they were firmly convinced t
Rusia is ranging herself on the sidet
of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis. C
In general terms, they added, the
~ ~~-' 1

Influence'
Russian "Grossraum" - or vast area
of domination - lies between Japan's
ar-eastern zone of dominance and
Europe and Africa, which the Rome-
Berlin Axis has allotted to itself.
Two days of talks in Berlin, includ-
ng long hours with Fuehrer Hitler,
sufficed to bring agreement on what
reliable informants said was a basis
of "strictly business give-and-take."
Meanwhile, a speech by the Fuehrer
himself pictured Germany in the
post-war role of a model "socialistic
state." It is this "socialistic state," he
told munitions workers and army la-
bor groups, which is fighting "a pluto-
cratic, capitalistic England."
A communique issued soon after the
Soviet Premier-Foreign Commissar's
departure today said:
"During his visit to Berlin on Nov.
12-13, 1940, chairman of the people's
council and Foreign Minister Molo-
toff had talks with the Fuehrer and
Reich's Foreign Minister Von Ribben-
trop.
"An exchange of views was carried
out in an atmosphere of mutual trust
and led to mutual accord on all im-
portant questions of interest to Ger-
many and the U.S.S.R.

(By The Associated Press)
ROME, Nov. 14-With bomb, tor-

ppeared tonight finally to have come
o grips for the Mediterranean show-
own. Each is seeking to deliver dev-
stating blows at the other's bases.
The Italian High Command said
he British Air Force struck again
Vednesday night at Taranto, key
naval base on the Gulf that forms
n "instep" to the Italian boot, where
he British said they disabled or prob-
,bly damaged half of the Italian
attleship strength two nights before.
Fascists Give Chase
Fascist fighter planes gave chase in
he moonlight, Italians said, and
robably shot down two of the raiders.
Fifteen persons, including soldiers,
'ere killed and injured, the High
;ommand said, but it declared the
nly damage was to dwellings. Bombs
ropped in a supplementary raid on
he Port of Crotone, across the gulf
rom Taranto, fell in the sea, it add-
d.
(The British said Taranto's docks
nd harbors works were bombed.)
[n return, a communique said, the
talians made another thrust at Bri-
ain's Alexandria base in Egypt and
,e formation succeded a cruiser.
Using the same weapons, Aerial
orpedoes, which the British were re-
orted to have used in their first at-
ack on Taranto, the Italians sunk
one steamer and damaged another in
Sconvoyin the Eastern Mediterran-
an, the communique added
British Claims 'Fantastic'
Britain's claims of three battleships
tnd four other warships crippled or

'aid were called "fantastic" and "ten-
entious alterations of the truth" by
he High Command, which promised
L communique soon "on the whole
Laval warfare and air and naval sit-
ation in the Mediterranean."
With the Italians claiming to hold
heir positions near the coast and in

Administrators Interview
Former Students Here
Approximately 675 University fresh-
men made their way through the por-
tals of the Rackham Building yester-
day morning as the 14th annual
Principal-Freshmen Conference got
under way in high gear.
Students were even excused from
classes so that they could be inter-
viewed by their former high school
principals. And the siiles on their
faces as they trudged up to the second
floor of the Rackham Building showed
that the were far from disappointed
at the prospect of being absent from
one day's work.
The fine cooperation of the high
schools asked to send representatives
was a big factor in the ultimate suc-
cess of the. conference. Ninety-seven
high schools from four states - In-
diana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan --'
responded to the call by sending 150
principals and teachers.
At noon, a luncheon was given in
the League ballroom for all secondary
school representatives and for those
members of the University faculty
who have come into contact with
freshmen this semester.

Democracy A World Mission,
Fakhri Maluf Tells Reporter

"I would like to see American youth
view their democracy as a world mis-
sion, rather than a privilege for lo-
cal consumption," Fakhri Maluf,
Grad., 27 year old University student
from Syria, said yesterday in an in-
terview.'
Maluf recently received new infor-1
mation concerning the 15 year pri-
son sentence which was passed
against him by the Petain Regime.
The sentence charged that he did not
recognize in his writings the in-
ternal divisions imposed by the man-
datory powers in Syria. "There is am-
ple evidence in my writings," Maluf
said, "to support these charges. I
take no trouble to deny them."
"I never attacked the government.
My writings were of a very detached
and even metaphysical nature. Yet
these writing have captured the imag-
i",oiei ofth gvrn n nithand

These feudal lords are remnants
of the Ottoman regime which pre-
vented Syria's development with the
coming Industrial Revolution," hb
said. "After the War was over the
Ottoman empire was abolished; but
instead of getting their 'independence
as they had hoped to realize by fight-
ing on the side of the Allies," Maluf
added, "the Syrians were placed un-
der the mandatory power of the
French."
"The movement aims at the reali.-
zation of a modern state in Syria. My
writings have been and are guided
by a vision of this new life, and have
helped to establish some basic princi-
ples for the Syrian youth movement,"
stated Taluf.
"I have complete faith that the fu-
ture is with us," Maluf said, "and this

Ozenfant Visualizes America
As World's Future Art Center

(Editor's note: For a report of Mr.f
Ozenfant's lecture see the editorial
page under "Art.")
By EMILE GELEt
America has the greatest oppor-
tunity of its history to become the
world's art center, Amedee Ozenfant,
prominent French painter of ab-
stracts and originator of Purism,
declared in an interview here yes-
terday.
"All artists able to leave Nazi-con-t
trolled nations will attempt to come+
to America," Ozenfant said. "They
should have a great influence on+
American art and artists.
Incensed at what he called the
"Occupation of France by Laval,
Petain and Weygand," the noted pur-
ist explained how it would be intol-
-rhl f.r h +m to vein a country

Everyone has social duties, he noted,
but after these duties are performed
the state has no right to interfere
in private lives.
M. Ozenfant observed that the
United States could easily become
fascist without realizing it through
concerted suppression of the ortho-
dox. Referring to the recent elec-
tion, he suggested that either can-
didate might be pushed toward fas-
cism by the proper pressure.
Commenting on American art stu-
dents, the famed abstractionist de-
clared that the greatest hindrance to
progress is impatience. "Young peo-
ple in America are too much in a
hurry," he said, "they do not realize
that efficiency is not speed." In no
line of endeavor does high quality
