No. 8 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1940 Z-323 PRICE FIVE CENTS I Bucky Hurls Reds' Back Into Series With 4-0 Triumph Holds Detroit Powerhouse To Five Scattered Hits; Clouts Homer In Eighth Cincies Blast Rowe From Box In First CROSLEY FIELD, Cincinnati, Oct. 7.-(P)-Bucky Walters, the wonder boy of the National League pitchers for two years, pitched and batted the Cincinnati Reds to a 4 to 0 conquest over the Detroit Tigers today and forced the 1940 World Series to its limit of seven games. Just as he hurled three-hit ball to tame the Tigers in the second game of the series and level the standing last Thursday, Bucky today pitched a nearly flawless five-hit brand to strangle them into a shutout. But almost more than his pitch- ing, the 30,481 hopeful hometown ans goggled at the home run their hero hit over the left field wall in the eighth inning as a sort of dis-' gainful parting gesture to Detroit. Bengals Humiliated This blow, the second homer Wal- ters hit this year, only served to heap humiliation on the Tigers. It came off young Fred Hutchinson long after the Reds had sewed up the victory by shelling Lynwood (School- boy) Rowe off the mound in the first inning. In two respects the struggle fol- ]owed the pattern of the other Series games-first that each rival alter- nates victory and second that the games usually are decided early and finish one-sided. The Tigers banked heavily on Rowe repudiating his performance against Walters in their previous tangle, when he was knocked out by a five-run uprising in the fourth inning. In- stead the same stuff that the Reds liked before they liked today. Bill Werber, the Series' chief troublemaker for opposing pitchers, started the steamup with a terrific liner against the fence in the first inning, good for a double. Mike Mc- Cormick sacrificed him to third and then Ival Goodman, Frank McCor- mick and Jim Ripple hit consutive singles to send Rowe shuffling to the showers. Werber scored on a hit by Good- man who raced home from second on Ripple's sharp shot to center. Gorsica Stars John Gorsica, who relieved Rowe in his other fiasco, came up with an- other creditable fireman's perform- ance, stopping this rally and allow- ing only one run and five hits in the 6 2-3 innings he pitched. But as on the other occasion, Gor- sica's work was wasted because Wal- ters kept whipping his fast downer to the plate where the Tigers could do nothing with it. Bucky also bene- fited from the sort of tight defense that brought the Reds their pennant, but which has shown only in spasms in this series. As the result of the Reds' triumph, the 1940 World Series will be the first to go seven games since the St. Louis Cardinals beat these same Tigers in 1934 for the last World Championship won by a National League club. Strategic Position Cincinnati was in a good strate- gic position to repeat this victory by having big Paul Derringer ready for the final game with two day's rest since whipping the Bengals in De- troit Saturday. Manager Bill McKechnie for once had no hesitation in naming Der- ringer as his certain starter. The Tigers appeared almost as cer- tain to come back with Buck New- som on one day's rest and hope that (Continued on Page 3) Bikes, Street Athletics Irk Police These Days There are two chief ways students can annoy the police these fine fall days. They can play football or baseball in the streets or they can ride bi- cycles that are not equipped to meet city regulations. Chief of Police Norman A. Cook stresses that all bicycles must be licensed and must have a headlight $56,000 Asked At Community Fund Banquet Approximately 200 townspeople and faculty members yesterday launched the. 20th annual Ann Arbor Commu- nity Fund at a banquet given in the Union ballroom, setting a goal of $56,000.

Brumm of the School of Journalism served as toastmaster of the evening and introduced the guests, the past presidents of the drive. The speakers included the president of this year's campaign, Mr. Albert Fiegel; Prof. E. C. God- dard of the Law School; and vice- chairmanhLewis C. Reimann who spoke in the place of Mr. Ashley H. Clague, the general chairman, who was unable, to attend. Mr. Fiegel's speech reviewed the difficulties which may be expected in the drive this year. Prof. Goddard gave a brief history of the former campaigns, and Mr. Reimann spoke briefly on the aims of this year's drive. A trio, composed of Lonna Parker, '41, Burton Page, '41M, and Italo Frajola, Grad., provided a program of dinner music.

The Supreme Court, by a four to three decision, overturned Michigan's time-honored legal maxim that a dog may not be considered vicious until it has bitten somebody. In the damage suit of Mattie Mas- sengile, laundress, against Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Piper, of Detroit, her employers, the court held that the Pipers should have been aware their dog was vicious because of previous unruly actions, even though he had bitten no one before biting the laun- dress. The opinion overturned a decision of the Wayne Circuit which deniednMrs. Massengile damages.

Bosses 'Petty Hitlers' GOP Candidate Condemns Roosevelt's War Policy In New Jersey Speech Roosevelt Tours Upstate New York NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 7. -(AP)- Wendell L. Willkie said tonight that Democratic "bosses" of New Jersey, New York and Illinois were "the pil- lars of the New Deal democracy" and charged that President Roosevelt sought "to perpetuate his power through petty Hitlers." The Republican presidential nomi- nee spoke in Newark City Stadium over a nationwide Mutual-WOR ra- dio hookup, ending a day-long motor tour of the heavily-populated areas of northern New Jersey, including Jersey City, the Democratic strong- hold of Frank Hague, mayor and state Democratic leader. Near the close of his prepared ad- dress tonight, Willkie said, "The head of the New Deal Party has had some things to say, recently, about the attitude of Hitler and Mussolini to- ward our elections in America. "Not only has he pushed America close to the wars in Europe and Asia," Willkie added. "He now seeks to drag the wars of Europe and Asia into American politics. "He tells us that he, and he alone, represents democracy. "But I say-that he cannot repre- sent the democracy that I stand for while he seeks to perpetuate his pow- er through petty Hitlers right here in our own land." Roosevelt Tours Upstate New York ALBANY, N.Y., Oct. 7.-(P)-Presi- dent Roosevelt made a 75-mile tour of upstate New York today, saw steel being processed into mammoth guns and looked over the rolling hills where an American army defeated the Bri- tish exactly 163 years ago in the decisive Revolutionary War battle of Saratoga. And, whether he wanted it or not, the trip took on some of the aspects of campaign swings of the past, with huge crowds turning out to cheer him on his way, and a car and bus smothered with Democratic campaign banners crowding into his motor- cade at Troy. Democrats were holding a political rally here tonight and agreed to call it off in time to stage a demonstra- tion at union station before the Chief Executive departed for Washington. A special train took Mr. Roosevelt from his home at Hyde Park, N.Y., to Watervliet, where he drove through. one of the army's biggest and oldest arsenals. U. S., Russians Resume Talks Move Hints Soviet Dislike Of Axis Triple Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. -(AP)- American-Russian diplomatic talks were resumed here unexpectedly to- night after a lapse of two months and resulted in new speculation that Russia may not like the Japanese- German-Italian alliance. Constantine Oumansky, Soviet am- bassador, called at the State Depart- ment in the early evening and con- ferred with Sumner Welles, Under- secretary of State. The only com- ment available at the Department was that it was a resumption of the talks begun last summer. Their resumption at this time was considered significant in some quar- ters because of the new triple alli- ance, although that pact contained an assurance that it did not disturb existing relations between Germany and Russia. Dawn Attacks Score Hits At French, Dutch Ports Despite Poor Weather Nazis Intensify Renewed Assaults LONDON, Oct. 8. (Tuesday)-(P) -Adolf Hitler's nightriders attempt- ed to make up for lost time last night and early today by striking hard at a number of London dis- tricts following a day of fierce, "sub- stratosphere" dogfights above the capital. Deprived of their timetable as- saults night before last by storm- swept skies for the first time in 30 days, the raiders swept back with the stars to lunge repeatedly at the metropolis. In all, 10 London dis- tricts and a number of provincial areas were sprayed with high ex- plosive and incendiary bombs. The night attacks were a contin- uation of mass daylight forays in which the RAF broke up formation after formation of German planes four to six miles above the city. The number of raiders was declared au- thoritatively to have numbered near- ly 500. Germans Renewed Germans Enter Rumania To Allay British Activity; RAF Bombs Coast Points Amplify Attacks (By The Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 7.-British bombers carrying the war to Germany in a campaign to blast and cripple the Nazi war machine pushed home dar- ing daylight attacks on German ob- jectives on the "invasion coast" yes- terday despite consistently bad wea- ther, the air ministry announced to- day. The raids began at dawn and, when they were over, the ministry said, hits had been scored on the Germans at Ostend, Belgium; Calais and Boulogne, France, and in the Dutch harbors. of Harlingen, Sta- voren, Enkhuisen, Dordrecht, and Den Helder. Other British bombers went on over Holland into western Germany and bombed the airdrome at Diep- holz, 30 miles southwest of Bremen. Diepholz already has felt the jar of British bombs in six previous at- tacks, according to a ilist of more than 200 "military targets" raided by the Royal Air Forces up to Sept. 30 in Germany and German-occu- pied territory. The list was published by the Min- istry of Information, amplifying the announcement of the British "mas- ter plan" aimed at "weak spots" in the German war effort. Berlin-the Reich's heart-has been raided 15 times. The list re- vealed the British struck there tt gasoline installations, utilities, rail- ways, airdromes and gun positions. The ports of Hamburg, raided 36 times, Hamm, 45 times, and Bremen, 31, were especial targets of the RAF. A "Molotoff breadbasket" was dropped during the night near a large west end store adjoining others wrecked by heavy calibre bombs a fortnight ago. More Service Is Union Goal, Gould Asserts "The Michigan Union is on the campus for one purpose: to serve as the center. of activities for the men of Michigan. The only way this purpose can be fully realized is All sophomores and second- semester freshmen, whether pre- viously out for the Union or not, and who are interested in trying out, are requested to apply to the Student Offices as soon as pos- sible between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. any day this week. through the active participation of those members of the organization in the several phases of Union activ- ity," Douglas Gould, '41,npresident, declared yesterday 'in an official statement of Union policy. "The policy has been in the past, and shall be in the present dedicated to theumaintenance of the Union as a club for Michigan men. The Union will endeavor to be of assist- ance to the many organizations on the campus, and encourage these or- ganizations to make use of the many facilities therein. "The Union will endeavor to pre- sent several informal meetings of various sorts, at which times phases of campus life, political subjects, and occupational information will be sub- jects of discussion. "The traditions of the Union will continue to be observed. The front portal will be reserved for men and all women will be requested to use the side entrance. "As the Union is the club for Mich- igan men, you as students of the University possess all rights of mem- bership upon formal registration at the Union Student Offices.

Balkan Officials Discredit Reports As 'Premature'; Germany Protects Oil Mussolini Inspects Fascist' Columnns By LOUIS P. LOCHNER BERLIN, Oct. 7.--(P)-Authorized Nazi sources said today German troops had entered Rumania because a watch against undercover British activity in that kingdom's oil fields was necessary. (In Bucharest, Rumanian officials said reports of the arrival of German troops were "premature." A govern- ment statement mentioned close col- laboration and technical aid prom- ised the Rumanian army, especially by Germany.) There was no indication of how many German troops entered Ru- mania, but it was pointed out that a German general (whose rank might mean he is commander of any unit from a brigade to a field army) has been reported there. Of primary importance to Ger- many is uninterrupted delivery of Rumani's oil and gasoline, essen- tial to the Nazi war machine. Authorized sources, hinting that Germany may have decided to police the oil fields, declared Germany fears sabotage by British agents in Con- stanta and other Rumanian oil cen- ters. Also, they said, Britain might try to get at Rumania's oil by way of Turkey. Franz Von Papen, German ambassador to Ankara, has been a frequent visitor at the Turkish for- eign office recently. It may be assumed, these sources said, that as one outcome of last Friday's Brennero meeting between Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini the Turks will be put under diplo- matic pressure and a possible mili- tary threat. Alleged plans of the erstwhile British-French allies td "win the war by creating big new battlefronts against Germany"-among them Ru- mania and Turkey-were published last July by DNB, official German news agency. Mussolini Inspects Fascist Columns ROME, Oct. 7.-Fascist legions, readied for war, displayed their prowess before Premier Mussolini to- day in northeastern Italy while Rome diplomatic quarters speculated on a variety of events, among' them the possibility Il Duce might be about to make a speech on the Axis' next move. Mussolini was in the Verona area continuing 'his troop inspections along the Po. Thursday he will re- view more units at Padua, in the same area, and informed circles ex- pressed belief he might say some- thing then about his Brenner Pass confab with Hitler. The Italian high command report ed another British submarine had been sunk by a flotilla of motor speedboats, the same group which was reported yesterday to have sunk a British underseas craft. The high command declared a ci- vilian was killed and six others in- jured when a British submarine shelled the city of Savona, in north- western Italy. Italian warplanes attacked a Brit- ish convoy in the Red Sea, the com- munique said. Press spokesmen predicted the Brenner conversations soon would be transformed into action afid paid increasing attention to the United States. Socialist Party Campaign Group Will Be Organized Tomorrow Youth Foundatic Announces Election-Education Program An organizational meeting of a student Thomas and Krueger Club to help the presidential campaign of the Socialist Party candidate on the Michigan campus will be held at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Union, Vivian Sieman, '42, announced yesterday. The organization will discuss ar- rangements for the personal appear- ance of Thomas on the campus on Oct. 17 besides planning other as- pects of a local drive to enlist sup- port for the Socialist candidate, Sie- man declared. Thomas last appeared on the Michigan campus March 14 when he addressed the League for Liberal Ac- tion on the topic "Does Democracy Need Socialism?" The Socialist candidate is now conducting his fourth presidential campaign, having been nominated at the Socialist Party Convention this .snrina- -is runnning- mate is nr Mav- Seeking to reach an estimated to- tal of 9,000,000 new voters, the Na-' tional Foundation for American Youth, headed by Chairman Gene Tunney, is in the midst of an elec- tion-education program conducted through the Young Voters' Ex- change. Officials of the Foundation realize that many students who recently be- came of age will neglect to register for voting or to obtain absentee voters' ballots. Many other students, though they are qualified to vote, will be unaware of election issues, the officials believe. Their five-fold campaign is de- signed to eliminate this apathy of young voters through objective, non- partisan instruction in political prac- tices. Basic purpose of the Exchange is the maintenance and improvement of American democracy. current campaign. Issues discussed will be of especial interest to young men and women, and both Republi- can and Democratic views will be presented. Exchange officials will sponsor and direct radio debates upon each of the weekly issues by spokesmen of the Young Democrat and Young Republican clubs. At the same 4time local groups of young voters will be assisted in organization of debates, forums, information campaigns, Stump meetings and publicity. Literature issued by the Exchange will include statements of campaign issues, candidates' stands and texts of debates and political addresses.
