No. 75 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1941 Z-233 PRICE FIVE CENTS Broad Power Given To FDR In Bill To Aid Great Britain Administration Proposal, Presented To Congress, Is Denounced As Sure Road To War For U.S. Roosevelt Appeals For Quick Passage WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. -(.P)- The Administration bill to lend war supplies to Great Britain was intro- duced today, to be denounced at once as a "streamlined declaration of war" by opponents already organizing for a supreme effort to defeat the meas- ure or narrow the tremendous pow- ers which it would confer upon Presi- dent Roosevelt.' As'the legislation went to Congress, the President appealed for all pos- sible speed in enacting it. A week's delay now, Mr. Roosevelt told a press conference, would mnean a week's delay later in getting appro- priations, placing orders and obtain- ing deliveries. Opponents Act An inspection of the measure's terms quickly had the opponents of the Administration's foreign policy condemning it both on the ground of the power to be conferred and be- cause, they contended, it would lead the country inevitably into war. Even in some quarters which favor, unstinted assistance to the British, there was murmured or outspoken ob- jection to the sweeping authority in- volved. This was particularly true among House Republicans, many of whom were highly favorable to the measure's purposes, but opposed to its methods. Opposition, possibly ex- tensive, was obviously in the making there. But while the reaction was less favorable than they had expected, Administration leaders still professed tbemselves confident of more than enough votes to enact the bill with- out serious change. How long it might take to get It onto the statute books, however, was another matter. Terms Of Bill By its terms, the bill would give Mr. Roosevelt authority to: (1) Manufacture in arsenals, fac- tories and shipyards any defense ar- ticle for "any country whose de- fense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States." (2) "Sell transfer, exchange, lease, lend or otherwise dispose of, to any such government, any defense article." (3) Test, inspect, outfit or repair any defense article for any such gov- ernment. (4) Communicate to such nation any information pertaining to de- fense articles transferred to it. (5) Release any defense article for export to such a country. According to Dr. Forsythe, the fac- tors of a "too strenuous" vacation plus a lack of sleep and chills in traveling usually result in a large number of colds during this part of the school year. Forsythe Discounts Talk Of Epidemic As Colds Decrease The generally poor physical con- dition of Michigan students after the Christmas holidays was blamed last night by Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director of the Health Service, for the large numer of cases of colds, flu, influenza and pneumonia in Ann Arbor this week. It was thought by Health Service officials a few days ago that an ep- idemic had swept the city but Dr. Forsythe reported a rapid decrease of patients .yesterday. Tuesday, 20 students were brought into the Health Service for treatment and no room was available for many of them. Yesterday, however, there were several beds available.

The speakersainclude Prof. Rich- ard C. Fuller and Prof. Lowell J. Carr of the sociology department, Prof. Preston Slosson of the history department and Prof. John P. Daw- son of the law school. At the same time another panel will take up the vital collegiate problem of student government and extra-curricular ac- tivities. Speakers whb have been chosen are Dean of Women Alice C. Lloyd, Assistant Dean of Students Walter B. Rea and Miss Ethel C. Mc- Cormick, social director of the League.1 Tomorrow the concluding session of the parley will be held at 3 p.m. at the Union.

The face-off will be at 8 p.m. The Wolverines all but blasted the Huskies off the ice Thursday night, tallying four goals in the third period to take a 6-2 decision for their first victory of the season. In gaining the nod over the visi- tors, the Michigan squad demonstrat- ed to all the fans that it is fast ap- proaching peak efficiency. Johnny Gillis, Bob Kemp and Max Bahrych, all of whom are newcomers to the squad this season, turned in their best performances to date. Gillis, the boy who left a regular job on Matt Mann's National Cham- pion swimming team to play hockey, has rounded into shape and now looks to be one of the most valuable men on the squad. He turned in two goals and an assist Thursday. Soph- omore wingmen Kemp and Bahrych made five points between them, Kemp having a goal and an assist and Bahrych coming up with three assists. Just as important though not as evident was the work of defense men Charley Ross and Bert Stodden in bringing about the victory. Stodden made a goal and an assist, his tally being scored on a solo dash, during the course of which he outskated the entire Tech team. But Bert's best work was done on the defense. Never one to avoid bodily contact, the lit- tle defense man fairly outdid him- self in this contest. ., Capt.

Pettyjohn, of the naval reserves and who is actiye in the work of drawing regulations for the draft explained how the selec- tive service act treated students. Col. Henry W. Miller, Military authority and a member of the en- gineering faculty discussed the need for selective service training. Prof. Emeritus Edwin C. Goddard of the local draft board mentioned some of the difficulties in the present law that affects college students. Most of the faculty and the stu- dent audience at the evening parley on American foreign policy agreed that this country should extend help to Great Britain. Debate centered on the degree of aid. Prof. Emeritus William Hobbs argued for interven- tion. Prof. Howard Ehrmann of the history department, however, only advocatedkall aid short of measifres which taken at the moment might involve this country. Even more mod- erate was Prof. Roy W. Sellars of the philosophy department who wanted enough aid for the English so that a stalemate would force a just peace under our influence. Rev. H. L. Pick- erell upheld the pacifist viewpoint. At another panel on the probable outcome of the war, Prof. Slosson said that the only two, ways in which Germany can win the war are either by an all-out invasion on the Brit- ish Isles or by a long war of atrition. If American aid is sufficient and in time, the outcome is not in doubt, but if American aid is insufficient and too slow, a German victory may be expected. In the panel discussion of "After The War, What?" Prof. Arthur Smithies predicted that a German victory would result in a world gov- ernment ruled with ruthless efficien- cy.

Greeks Claim Fresh Gains Over Italians Russia And Germany Sign New Trade Agreement 'Involving Many Billions' Series Of Treaties Announced By DNB (By The Assoiated Press) While Greeks at home rejoiced in the streets over fresh victories in Albania the forces at the front today reportedly rushed past cap- tured Klisura toward Valona-last important port in southern Albania still held by the Italians. Greek troops occupying Klisura found it had been burned and pil- laged, a general headquarters com- muique said tonight. Most of the townspeople had de- serted the town, but 600 Italian sol- diers were taken prisoner and more weapons were captured, the com- munique said. Greek aviation was reported to have bombed and machine-gunned Italian positions without losing a plane. Italians Retreat With the spearhead of the Greek drive in the Klisura sector only about 30 miles from Valona, Italian troops beyond Klisura were said to be in disorderly retreat. As a result of Klisura's fall, mili- tary observers predicted the Italians probably would be forced to aban- don Tepeleni, 15 miles west of Kli- sura on the way to Valona. Meanwhile, Germany and Russia signed a series of treaties yesterday in Moscow, including a new trade agreement designed to aid Germany's war effort and involving "many bil- lions of marks," it was officially an- nounced. Other agreements recognized trade deals which Germany previously had signed with the. tic States of Lith- uania, Latvia and Esthonia, which now are absorbed by the Soviet Union and provided for regulating border and population resettlement problems. DNB Comments The official German news agency DNB said the trade agreement in- cluded the "greatest grain deal in history" and had . been worked out so carefully on the basis of a scien- tific study of the capacities of the two countries that the transaction could be called "an economic plan" as well as a "deal." Precise sums were not stated, but DNB said the deal "involved many billions of marks," and was greater in scope than the previous under- standingI betweenthese nations. (A dispatch from Moscow said five treaties in all had been signed.) (A German wireless announcement heard in New York said the Soviet- German frontier had been settled from the Baltic to the Hungarian border). British Air Force Storms German Bases In France 'In Biggest Daylight Raid Cagers Seek Initial Conference Victory Against Purdue Tonight Qf Q $ RfQQ N Blanken And Boilermakers Expected To Overcome CrippledWolverines By NORM MILLER Thwarted in their quest for a Big Ten victory, Michigan's scrappy cagers will make another bid for their initial Conference win tonight when the Varsity tackles Purdue's high-scoring Boilermakers at Lafay- ette, Ind. The game will be the first in a tough two-game road trip for the Wolverines. Following the tilt with the Boilermakers, Michigan is slated to meet Coach Doug Mills' formidable Illinois quintet Monday at Cham- paign, Ill. Underdogs that the Varsity might be under ordinary conditions, the Wolverines' chances for a victory over Purdue were rendered even more unlikely by the weakened condition of the squad. Slim Bob Fitzgerald has been lost to the team due to an attack of diphtheria; Capt. Herb Brogan has a bruised knee; Mike Sofiak, the Varsity's leading point-maker, is nursing a bruised hip; while center Jim Mandler is still favoring a sprained ankle incurred in practice last week. But battered or not, all of the "cripples" will be in the starting line- up tonight with the exception of Fitzgerald. Brogan, Sofiak, Mandler, and George Ruehle will be stationed at their regular posts when the game begins, but the occupant of Fitz's left forward berth will not be decided until the last minute. Bill Cartmill or Bill Herrmann will probably draw the starting assign- ment, although Coach Bennie Ooster- baan may decide to play lanky Leo Doyle, who has displayed a great deal of promise lately, at the forecourt post. Jim Grissen, Joe Glasser and Mel Comin, another sophomore who has shown steady improvement, will be used in reserve. The Boilermakers have always proved sofnewhat of a jinx to Michi- gan in the team's 23-game series that began back in 1920. The Wolver- ines have won only seven times while Purchasers Must Present' Approved Applications At Union Ticket Desk J-Hop Tickets will be on sale from 12 noon to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Union.

Prof. William D. Revelli, conductor of the Michigan Band, will direct the Clinic which is being sponsored by the University School of Music and the Michigan Band and Orches- tra Association. The University Con- cert Band will read selections from the National High School Festival required list for 1941 competition, and will also offer the newest mu- sical selections, several of which are still in manuscript form. Given the opportunity in this' way to hear the orchestrations, the di-. rectors attending the Clinic will be able to select the repertoires for their respective music groups for the com- ing year. The Clinic will be held this year in the Michigan Union Ballroom, the Rackham Building and Hill Auditorium. 1,000-Mile Coastline Swept By Bombs, Machine-Gun Fire London Labels Attack Success (By The Associated Press) LONDON, Jan. 10-In the might- iest daylight offensive ever loosed by the Royal Air Force, half a hun- dred British bombers and a great swarm of 500 fighter planes delivered a ground-shaking assault today over a thousand square miles of North- western France. They were declared to have struck at the Channel straits areas of Ca- upon the bases of the Nazi invasion effort, sweeping the German posi- tions with bomsbs and machine-gun fire-the latter from eight gunned fighter craft which formed the big- gest escort ever to take off from England. Three Shot Down Three of the "few" German planes which rose to challenge the raid- ers were shot down, the Air Minis- try said, and but a single British plane was lost-that on the return trip. For an hour, just at midday, Brit- ish explosives fell. Hits were claimed upon a series of airdromes-assaulted by planes diving down to within 200 feet of the target-and upon German patrol ships and military buildings. The southeast English coast-20 to 30 miles from the coastal targets -shuddered under the shock. Britons on the shore reported that bombs dropped by the first line of ttacking craft were heard bursting in France before the last wave had passed out of sight of the English coast. It was a raid likened by British aviation circles to the great Nazi mass attacks of lasthSeptember on Britain, "but more successful" than these. British experts said it indi- cated Britain now had enough planes to risk heavy losses in daylight op- erations. In Berlin. (In Berlin informed sources as- serted a big group of British bomb- ers accompanied by fighters had been beaten back near Calais. The Germans claimed to have shot down eight British craft. They asserted no bombs fell on any military ob- jectives.) This daytime attack followed night forays even bigger in scope, extend- ing from the coast of Norway to in- terior Germany and southern France -many of them carried out through very dirty weather. Brest, France, the German-operat- ed submarine base, was assaulted for ix hours, said the Air Ministry, with whole sticks of bombs; fires were set off and a large ship in the harbor was squarely hit. A returning pilot reported an im- mense explosion followed a hit by a ,salvo of bombs near a drydock and said a harbor building "literally dis- integrated and a mushroom of black smoke rose to a height of several hundred feet." Results Elsewhere The announced results elsewhere: In Germany-synthetic oil plant at Gelsenkirchen left erupting in ex- plosions and fires; factories,blast furnaces and railways attacked in the Ruhr; the inland ports of Duis- burg-Ruhrort and Duesseldorf again bombed. (The German High Com- mand announced 20 were killed in British raids on "various places" in western Germany.) In Holland--docks at Flushing, a major port, attacked, along with an oil storage plant at Rotterdam. In France-Brest knit again; Dunk- erque and Calais as well.

Federations Should Be Formed For Peace Archduke Declares By BERNARD~ DOBERJ The countries of Central Europe will look to the United States to as- sist them in reestablishing those principles which will lead to a sound economy and a lasting peace, Arch- duke Otto stated in a University lec- ture in the Rackham Building yes- terday before an overflow audience. With a simple and clear presenta- tion, the Archduke explained the interrelation and interdependence of the Central European and Balkan countries and outlined the reasons why Hitler was able to make a blood- less conquest of these nations. His Highness suggested that the Central European, the Balkan and the Scandinavian countries should form snarntei inenendent neonom- also advocated a federal legislative body fashioned after the United States Senate, and a federal supreme court which would rule between the states. The Danubian federation would be the most important, His Highness mnaintained, because it forms the key- stone to Southeastern Europe. It is geographically protected and would assure security for. all of the Bal- kans. There were three reasons why the peace treaties of the last World War' were incapable of maintaining peace in Central Europe, the Archduke pointed'out; these were: a disregard for the balance of power, a disregard for economic conditions in Central Prof. Hanford. Will Discuss Milton's Work James H. Hanford, one of the fore- most Milton scholars and now Pro- fessor of English at Western Reserve University, will speak here at 4:15 p.m. Jan. 20 as guest of the English department. The subject of his speech will be "John Milton As Pro- pagandist." From 1921-28 Professor Hanford was a member of the English de- partment here and has written sev- eral noteworthy books on Milton. His "A Milton Handbook" is regarded as the most authoritative brief book on Milton ever written. At 8 p.m. Jan. 20 Professor Han- ford will address a meeting of gradu- ate students of English and members of the English faculty in the West Conference Room of the Rackham Building on "Lord Herbert of Cher- bery and His Son." Other books written by Professor Hanford include: "The Teaching of Literature" (with Prof. C. C. Fries of Michigan) and "The Nelson Hand- book of English" (with others).

Screen-Test Scare Harmon? No, Not Even 'Clinch Scenes' By ESTHER OSSE. "Were you scared?" I asked him. Thomas Dudley Harmon, ex-dra- matic star of the Horace Mann High School, and late of the Paramount screen-test and publicity depart- ments, shook his head. "Not a bit," he said. "They told me to walk up and introduce my- self to Connie Moore and ask her to dance." "And then?" I prompted, thinking of that picture of The Ace and Miss all over again. But I wasn't nervous a bit," he reiterated. "According to the studio," Tom said, "the rushes were pretty good, but I laughed right out loud when I saw them. Not that they were funny, but I kept thinking of those 800 prop men, camera men, etc, that were standing around watching while we made the scene." "When does your movie career start?" I asked.
