Benny Goodman, "King of Owing,"

and Raymond Scott, "Foremost Com-
poser of Modern Music,t' will offer a
contrast in dancing rhythm when
the doors open on the 1942 J-Hop
February 14 and 15.
Scott's new orchestra and Krupa's
recently featured "danceable" music
will set the tempo for the first night
formal, while Goofman's clarinet,
his new orchestra augmented by the
addition of a baritone saxophone,
will smooth out the background for
baturday's "swing" informal.
Sweet And Swing
Besides the contrast of "sweet and
swing" between Friday's and Sat-
urday's orchestras, the first night will
be versatile within itself, as both
bands augment their sweet music
with "hot" solos.
Benny Goodman's orchestra
was -acclaimed top band in a pop-
ularity poll featured in the Jan-
uary 1 edition of a national mu-
sic magazine.
In the first two-night presentation
of J-Hop, the musical arrangements
will provide a triple attraction. "The
well-rounded program of Krupa and
Scott for Friday, and Goodman for
Saturday, will give the junior dancers
what musicians term "every rhythm
in the books," Phyllis Waters, Music
Chairman, said.
All three bands, lately reorganized,
'hav been featured in radio, screen,
and personal appearance programs.
Featured with Scott will be his six-
piece combination known as the
"Quintet," Claude Burke, baritone,
Gloria Hart, "Tiny Tornado of Song,"
and Art Tyerson, "Guitarist Extra-
ordinary." Known for his unusually
named compositions: "Powerhouse,"
"Stormy Weather Over Newark,"
"Dinner Music For a Pack of Hungry
Cannibals," Scott's music has been
labeled "Futuristic," and "Ultra-
Modern."

Illinois Contest, 47-41
(Special To The Daily)
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Jan. 13.-Michigan's hustling basketball team made
another gallant bid for its first Conference win of th4 season here tonight
but when the game was over, the Wolverines only found themselves more
deeply entrenched in the Big Ten cellar.
Coach Bennie Oosterbaan's hoopmen staged another of their des-
perate last half rallies only to succumb to a powerful Illinois quintet, 47-41.
A crowd of 5,619 fans witnessed the encounter.
Both teams started slowly, but Michigan was never ahead, though the
Wolverines gained a 2-2 tie in the first few minutes when Jim Mandler,

The film was made in December,

He suggested that Professor Ha-
lecki would consider proposed plans
for future leagues, coalitions, etc.
from the historical viewpoint, and
would trace past efforts to solve
problems of conflicting interest of
European states by peaceful means.
"His talk will not be propaganda for
any particular position on the ques-
tion," Professor Boak said.
"Professor Halecki's work has been
research in the early modern period,
especially of eastern Europe," he
stated. "He was here two years ago
and gave a memorable talk."
Driven from Poland by the Ger-

Reich Renews Diplomatic
Activities In Bulgaria;
RAF Fly Over Bengasi
Italian Resistance
Is Termed 'Scant'
(By The Associated Press)
ATHENS, Jan. 13.-Greek soldiers
reporting scant resistance, stabbed
deeper into Italian defense positions
below Valona today and Greek
spokesmen declared this might prove
the greatest offensive of the war in
Albania.
Although they claimed Fascist lines
were crumbling at some points, au-
thorities in Athens still lacked con-
firmation of reports from the Yugo-
slav frontier that Tepeleni, fortified
mountain town guarding an Italian-
built highway to the port of Valona,
had fallen.
Capture of Tepeleni would give the
Greeks a jumping-off place for a re-
newed thrust toward Valona, sole
southern Albania port remaining in
Italian hands.
A companion drive- northward
along the coast was said to have
brought the Greeks within 30 miles
of Valona. New gains were claimed
also for forces which swept on north-
ward from Klisura, a strategic cen-
tral front point taken last week.
German Activity
Meanwhile, in Bulgaria Germany
renewed diplomatic activitiy tonight
amid indications of a stronger Rus-
sian stand against possible transit of
German troops through Bulgaria for
an attack on Greece or the Dardan-
elles.
The German minister, Baron Her-
bert von Richtofen, called on Premier
Bogdan Philoff and Foreign Minister
Ival Popoff in conferences consid-
ered important in the wake of the
denial by Tass, official Russian news
agency, that the Soviet had given
consent to German entry into Bul-
garia.
Airdromes and landing fields in the
vicinity of beleaguered Tobruk were
abandoned speedily by the Italians
Cairo reports that RAF squadrons
ranging far ahead of general Sir
Archibald Wavell's land forces have
gained control of the air as far as
Bengasi, or over a third of Italy's
north African colony, British sources
said tonight.

Spy Act Upheld
In Washington today, the supreme

of the sweeping espionage act of
1917 which makes it a crime to ob-
tain 'or transmit any "information
respecting the national defense to be
used to the injury of the United
States or to the advantage of any
foreign nation," friend or foe.
Two men convicted in California
of violating the act in 1938 by furn-
ishing to Russia naval intelligence

uous" contended the wtatute was so

Survey Shows Students Indifferent To Parleys
Because Of Bad Publicity, Generality Of Topics
By CHESTER BRADLEY
"With 35 million people reported-
ly on the verge of starvation, Europe
is facing possibly the worst physi-
cal calamity in its history," John
Swomley, secretary of the Youth Sec-
tion of the Fellowship of Reconcilia-
tion, asserted in an interview here
yesterday.
Swomley, here to address the local
chapter of the international pacifist
organization, urged public support
for the organization of a local unit
of the National Committee on. food
for the Five Small Democracies,
which will hold its initial meeting
at 4:30 p.m. today in the Union.
He maintained that "from the
standpoint of pure humanity, we
ought to become interested in feed-

for forming local organizations to
Adolf Keller, a representative of thy
^ouncil of churches in Europe, to
America, and Keller's stressing of the
importance of American aid in feed-
ing the suffering people of the five
small democracies in Europe.
According to Swomley, Keller re-
ported that Protestant Christians in
Europe were asking two questions:
"Is American Christianity really in-
terested in the world Christian church
movement, and, if so, how can they
let us starve?" and also, "Is there
really a God, and, if so, where is our
daily bread?"
Swomley said that American health
conditions are potentially endangered
by the prospects of a famine in Eur-
ope, recalling the disease epidemics
which swept America at the close of
the last World War. " General re-
sistance to disease in Europe had

as those which arose out of the win-

Interviewers from The Daily dis-

Of the few opinions which were
