ACE TWO' THE M-AlICHIGAN DA ILY WWESDA7T :y , 3 Forum Debate Will Examine FDR's Power Osterweil And Ryder Will Analyze Extraordinary Request For Authority Will Meet Tomorrow Parallling the controversy that now rages in Congress over Presi- dent Roosevelt's request for extra- ordinary powers, will be the Michigan Forum debate at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Union between Frank L. Ryder, Grad., and Harold D. Osterweil, '41, on the topic: "Resolved: That Presi- dent Roosevelt Should Be Given the Extraordinary Powers He Has Re- quested of Congress" This will be the Forum's first meet- ing this year to continue its pro- gram of bringing the "pros" and "cons" of the current economic, social a and political issues to the attention of the students. It is planned to have a regular series of Forums through- out the coming semester, at which outside speakers as well as students and faculty will be able to speak to Michigan students. Last fall Socialist candidate Nor- man Thomas; Michigan's junior sen- ator, Democrat Prentiss Brown; and Pat Toohey, Communist Party of- ficial, spoke before Forum audiences on the then current presidential campaign. Local Republican groups arranged for Republican, Wendell Willkie, to appear. The idea of the Forum had its inception in the minds of a number of campus leaders who thought that the function of the Parley should be continued throughout the school year. Heads of the Michigan Union, Mihigan League, Student Senate and The Daily, now serve as the sponsor- ing committee of the Forum, while the actual execution of policy is car- ried on by the Parley Committee of the Student Senate. Herman Epstein, '41, of the Senate, is acting chairman of the Forum and Laurence Mascott, '41, serves as ex- ecutive secretary. Prof. Arthur Smithies and James Duesenberry of the economics department, are hon- orary members of the Forum Com- mittee. Clahassey Chosen Co-OpPresident Erwin G. Clahassey, '41, was elected president and house manager of the Brandeis Cooperative House at a reg- ular meeting last night. Other officers chosen were Joseph Francati, '43, and Richard Mason, '43, purchasing agents; Melvin Eckhouse, '44, assist- ant purchasing agent; Russell Braga, '41BAd, accountant, George Hambur- ger, '42, assistant accountant. Herman Epstein, '41, was selected Nas chairman of the personnel com- mittee. Others on the personnel com- mittee are William Ditz, '42, and Milton Charnowitz, '41. Laurence Mascott, '41, and William Rockwell, '41, are the new education directors. Also elected were Albert Blaustein, '42, social chairman; Robert DeLine, '41, athletic director, and David Lach- enbruch, '42, secretary. J-Hop Booth Reservations Still Open To Independents Reservation may still be made for the Independent Booth at the J-Hop, according to William H. Rockwell, '41, president of Congress, Indepen- dent Men's Association. This will be the largest booth at the Hop and the only one for non- affiliated students. Reservations cost 75 cents per couple and may be made in Room 306 in the Union between 3 and 5 p.m. Empty Cash Box Found Near Sorority By Police Police reported yesterday that an empty cash box belonging to the, Gamma Phi Beta housemother, Mrs. M. A. Wentworth, had been found in the neighborhood of this sorority which was broken into Monday eve- ning. Detective Albert E. Huesel said that the discovery of the box" put aside previous conjectures that the crime might have been an "inside job." He believed that ;the thief had apparent- ly entered the sorority house through an unlocked side door. Repola Is Elected' Kenneth Repola, '43, was elected1 president of the Suomi Club yester- day.

SIMPSON (Associated Press Staff Writer) Early fall of Tobruk, besieged Ital- ian strong point in east Libya, would do more than further deplete the Fascist Army in North Africa or heap fresh disaster on Mussolini. It might serve to help the British in- calculably in dealing with the Nazi- Fascist air offensive in the central Mediterrarnean. , That Axis effort to block the Si- cilian Channel to British use is ser- iously complicating the British. cam- paign in Africa as well as British efforts to aid Greece in Albania. It may have forced the British High Command to expediate the attempt to smash Italian resistance at Tobruk and open a route for more effective British counter measures by sea and air in the Sicilian channel. Tobruk Penetrated, British Say The Tobruk garrison is in virtually the same plight as were the Fascist defenders of Bardia, farther east, who surrendered wholesale to the British. Tobruk is completely invested by land and sea and the British say its defenses already have been pene- trated. Escape of the estimated 30,000 men left there seems impossible. The loss of this garrison would fur- ther shrivel the Italian Libyan Army, which is reported to be digging in des- perately in the Dernamekili area. This is a 50 mile north-south span from the coast at Derna to Mekili, desert cross roads. It is a strong position as a barrier Dimitr Mitropoulos Fill Be Conductor Of Symphony -here to swift British advance in the coast- al region. Three lateral roads fan out to the coast from Mekili. They afford means for the Fasist com- mander to shuttle his forces to and fro on interior lines to meet British attacks. Terrain Hampers Fascists Behind that Italian defense system rises what is known as the Barca Plateau, an enormous, rocky bastion. It all but fills the Barna Peninsula between the shallow Gulf of Bomba, just west of Tobruk, and the huge Gulf of Sidra on which stands Beng- hazi, chief Italian base and port in East Libya. The terrain offers even the reduced Fascist Army a hope of blocking further British advances along the coast. It does not bar, however, a British sweep around the Mekili flank to the south to reach the coach line south of Benghazi, meanwhile penning up the Italian forces on the Barca Peninsula. From bases on the Gulf of Sidra, even without capture of Benghazi, the British air force could take an important part in the counter-offen- sive against southern Italy. It also could give close support to Malta, Britain's central Mediterranean cit- adel. The continued availability to the British of that island strong- hold might be the key to the battle of the Sicilian Channel. Sidra To Malta Is Short Hop It is not much more, than 200 miles from the western portal of the Gulf of Sidra to Malta. It is a shorter dis- tance from any point along that gulf to Sicily than from British bases in Greece. Every 50 miles that can be cut from the round-trip flights of British air craft are important.

France and Germany include efforts to set up Nazi-Fascist air bases in French Tunisia to supplement opera- tions from Sicily. The closer the1 British lines can be driven to the Libyan-Tunisian borders. the better chance the British would have of preventing that. From bases along the Gulf of Sidra they could strike easily into Tunisia. Prior to the opening of the Axis joint air offensive in the central Mediterranean it seemed possible that once Tobruk was taken, East Africa would see the British cam- paign stepped up. Italian evacuation of the Sudan probably was ordered in that expectation. The Sicilian Channel fight may have reshaped British plans, however. No assignment will be made before Thursday.
