Summary
By A. P. BLAUSTEIN
"Vox Pop," noted radio quiz show,
which will be broadcast at 7:30 p.m.
Thursday from the Union Ballroom,
has gathered during the past nine
years the unique reputation of hav-
ing been presented from more un-
usual places than almost any other
program on the air waves.
During 1940 Parks Johnson and
Wally Butterworth, directors of the
show, have set up their mike in such
places as the New York Stock Ex-
change, a Greenwich Village studio
party, a hospital operating room, a
newspaper office and both the Demo-
cratic and Republican conventions.
They have also been heard from a
garden party at the home of Gov.
Vanderbilt in Rhode Island, an army
camp at an unannounced location in
Canada, several movie premieres, the
U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis and
a Junior League party in Cincinnati.
The "Vox Pop" appearance here is
their fourth broadcast from a college
campus and their first from a cam-
pus west of New York state.
In recent months their orientation
points have had much to do with the
military forces of the United States
and programs have been given fromr
Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio; Mitch-
ell Field in Long Island; Fort Dix
in New Jersey; Camp Edwards in
Falmouth, Mass.; Floyd Bennett Air-
port in Brooklyn, N. Y.; Fort Slo-;
cum in New Rochelle, N. Y., and;
Quantico Marine Barracks in Quan-
tico, Va.
The University broadcast will fea-
ture an entirely new quiz show idea
which Johnson and Butterworth have
just launched on the show. Articles
of merchandise will be given as prizes
to the students who will be quizzed
and one will be selected to receive a
free long distance telephone call to a
Hollywood movie star, which will be
made while "Vox Pop" is on the air.
Among the questions which have
been asked on "Vox Pop" in the past
are similar to the following: How
many feathers are there on an ave-
rage hen? How many towns are in
Pennsylvania? and Do you think that
a man who brags that he is boss at
home will lie about other things too?
All questions, according to the direc-
tors,'are based upon obscure informa-
tion of various types.
Johnson, Butterworth and Nathan
Tufts, director of the show, will ar-
rive in Ann Arbor tomorrow
A charge' of second degree (unpre-
meditated) murder will be made
against Beecher Osborne, 21, of Chel-
sea, for stabbing his older brother in
a fight early yesterday, Prosecutor
George Meade announced yesterday.
Meade and Sheriff John L. Osborn
said that the younger brother con-
fessed that he had slashed his broth-
er, Price, with a fishing knife dur-
ing a quarrel at the home-of their
brother-in-law, Dona Joseph, in Chel-
sea with whom Beecher and his wife
lived.
Beecher claimed that he had struck
at Price in self-defense, after his
brother had hit his wife in the nose,
knocking her down.
Police continued their search to-
day for three youths of high school
age who held up gas stations in
Ann Arbor and Flint Saturday night.
They obtained $15 in cash when
they held up Richard Springman, an
attendant at the Staebler-Kemp Oil
Co. station at S. Main and Packard.
The Federal Communciations Com-
mission has officially notified the
city of its approval of a requested
power increase for the city-county
police radio transmittnr.

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
(Editor's Note: This is the first in h
a series of articles which The Daily
will publish, presenting newsworthy
items from President Alexander G. t
Ruthven's annual report for 1939-40 1
to the Board of Regents. This docu-t
ment contains comprehenhive reports i
from all the major administrative 4
officers in the University.)
Commenting on the progress ofo
the Michigan House Plan. Director
of Residence Halls Karl Litzenberg
pointed out that approximately b
three-quarters of the West Quad- 1
rangle residents, eligible to reapplyv
for admission for their second year,e
filed reapplication blanks, and hea
predicted that from this returningt
group will come many applicationsi
for residence in the third year,and
ultimately the fpurth. From these
"old"residents will come, according9
to Director Litzenberg, the "stabilityv
and responsibility" necessary for the
success of the Michigan House Plan.
"It does not seem possible to those
who know the undergraduate mind
that the House Plan can achieve
permanent results until there is in
residence a large number of seniors;
who commenced their collegiate lives
as freshmen in the Residence Halls,"
he said.
According to the report of the
Dean of Students Joseph A. Burs-
ley, "there has been no lessening
of the interest of our students in
the fine art of dancing, and in fact
the devotees of Terpsichore have
seemed to increase in number rather
than decrease".
Top price paid for a dance band
last year was the two thousand dol-
lar payment for Glenn Miller's one
evening of entertainment at the
Senior Ball. Tommy Dorsey's band
received $1,750 for playing at the
J-Hop, and Ted Fio Rito's orchestra
was paid $700.
The J-Hop cleared a profit of1
$1,827, the next highest profit be-s
ing made by the Freshman Project,f
whose net gain was $536. The an-t
nual Pan-Hellenic Ball made a prof-f
it of $500. Only four major dances$
reported a loss.f
NYA benefits to University stu-
dents have continued on a slightlyI
increased scale throughout thet
year. The allotment for the yeart
amounted to $13,260 a month forf
graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents, or $122,580 for the year.
More than thirteen hundred stu-
dents were employed during the
year, an increase of about six
per cent for 1939-40.
The new residence halls for men
have had little or no effect on the
otal number of occupants in fra-
ternity houses, according to the re-
port of the Dean of Students. More
than thirteen hundred men were liv-
ng in fraternity houses during 1939-
40, which represents only a slight
oss from the number of residents
of the previous year.
The sorority situation was reported
by Dean of Women Alice C. Lloyd
to be less acute than during the pre-
vious years. She stated that the
efforts of Panhellenic in providing
a secretary during rushing to help
the smller houses resulted in an
improved membership for those
htouses. According to Dean Lloyd,
"there appeared to be an unusually
good feeling among the sorority
women and a sincere desire to help
the small houses".
Vice-President James D. Bruce
reported that the Adult Education
Service had made 215 trips to 86
communities in the state during
1939-40, and had led in the organ-
ization of community councils in
55 localities. The Adult Education
Program sponsors four types of
activities: consultation service on
community activities; providing
information on community activi-
ties by means of a monthly bulle-
tin, The Michigan Community
News, distributed to 1,300 per-
sons throughout the state; teach-
ing services offered by the Univer-
sity Extension Service; research on
community problems, carried on
by staff members, who investigate
areas which are desirous of com-
munity development but are ham-
pered by inexperience and lack of
competent leadership.
The average price of a double
room for a man during the first
semester of 1939-40 was $68.90, and
for the second semester, shorter by
two weeks, was $62.22. Average prices
for a single room ranged from
$78.27 in the first semester to-$67.38
for the second semester,
Disciplinary penalties for violating
University automobile regulations to-
talled 77 for 1939-40, as contrasted
to 91 for the previous year. Four
fatal accidents occurred during the
year.
Dean Lloyd reported that the
26 Oriental women on campus en-
countered "acute financial prob-
lems", especially from the diffi-
culties arising from differences in
the rate of exchange.

Fund To Curb
Youth Crime
A $37,000 increase in state funds
for the prevention of juvenile de-
linquency and crime is suggested as
part of the national defense effort
by Prof. Lowell J. Carr, director of
the Michigan Child Guidance In-
stitute, in a report submitted to Gov.
Van Wagoner.
Prof. Carr pointed out that in
addition to the threat of foreign ag-
gression there "is also the threat
that comes from disloyalty, from
selfish exploitation and from crim-
inal aggression within."
"There is a native fifth column of
social deserters boring from within,
flouting the law and levying tribute
on every home and business," he
asserted.
The report asked $72,000 per year
instead of the present $35,000.
It recommends that state support
for guidance clinics be materially
increased. Other reforms asked in-
clude the establishment of a state
juvenile probation system, legisla-
tion to compel proper action by par-
ents in regard to delinquent children,
funds for the opening of the 20-bed
children's unit at the Neuro-psychi-
atric Institute in Ann Arbor, inves-
tigation by school leaders of the
advantages of introducing in their
schools the child guidance conference
technique developed by the insti-
tute, and the extension of the in-
stitute's clinical, community pre-
ventive and educational services in
Western Michigan and the Upper
Peninsula.
The report states thatstudies in
various parts of the state showed
three to 10 per cent of Michigan
school children are problem or pre-
delinquent children.

Refugee Says Britain Can Win
War With Material Aid Of U.S.
I
By WILLIAM BAKER
"If all the industries of the United
States are mobilized behind us, we
can defeat Germany within threej
years' time," Glen R. Rankin, Brit-
ish war refugee, stated in an inter-
view here yesterday.
"But we need all the material help
you can give us," he continued.
Ships, planes, munitions, everything
but manpower. At the present time
we do not need your soldiers; later-
well, who can really say anything
about the future in these times?"
Mr. Rankin was passing through
Ann Arbor on his way to California,
where he will live with relatives and
attend college later in the year. He
arrived in New York from London
last fall.
"My people really feel that we
can defeat the Nazis with your help,"
he continued. "We expect the task,
will take some time, at least three
years, and we are not exactly sure
how it will come about."
Probably Germany will have trou-
ble with her Italian allies, Mr. Ran-
kin asserted. Those reports of riots1
in two Italian cities may mean more1
than the average reader thinks. The
Italian people hate their German
allies, and all that any dictator can
do will not change a people's in-,
herent hates.
"And so, with Germany kept at
least partially occupied in the Med-
iterranean, Britain will rely more
and more on her blockade as an in-
strument of war, and probably will
start a counter-offensive during
1942." he stated. "It is entirely pos-
sible that the attack may go through
France, and we are confident that
the French people will help us."
Everyone expects an attempted in-
vasion this spring, according to Mr.
Rankin. It will not have the full
strength of Germany behind it,
though, because a portion of the
Nazi forces will have to be sent to
the Mediterranean region, he claim-
ed.
As to how the ultimate defeat of
Germany can be brought about, Mr.
Rankin feels that it will be mainly
through a counter-offensive on the
continent, and a series of "never-
say-return" air raids over Berlin and
other German cities. ^
Mr. Rankin, whose cousin is a
Royal Air Force pilot, explained that
"never-say-return" raids are raids
in which pilots put aside thoughts
of returning entirely until the mis-
sion is completely accomplished.
"And when our boys begin heading
for Berlin with that idea in mind,
Mr. Hitler, look out!" he exclaimed.
Schnelker To Give
Organ Recital Here
Josef Schnelker, Grad., will offer
an organ recital in partial fulfill-
ment of his Master of Music degree
at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in Hill Audi-
torium.
An associate in the American
Guild of Organists since 1933, Schnel-
ker received his Bachelor of Music
degree from Oberlin Conservatory.
