WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-(AP)-
The Senate will begin debate Monday
on the controversial bill to permit
armed American ships to sail to any
port. in the world.
Senator Barkley, (Dem.-Ky.) Dem-
ocratic leader, said today he had no
Idea how long it would take the upper
house of Congress to reach a vote.
The Senate Foreign Relations Oom-
mittee voted 13 to 10 to submit the
nmeasure to the Senate.
The momentous bill, a substitute
for the House-approved measure lim-
ited to ship arming1 was accepted af-
ter the committee had voted 12 to 11
to take it in lieu of similar legislation
proposed by Senators Pepper (Dem.-
Fla.), Lee (Dem.-Okla.) and Green
(Den.-R.I.). Senator White (Rep.-
Me.), who voted with the opposition
on the first tally, jo ned the Admin-
istration majority on the final ballot.
Senator Nye (Rep.-N.D.), an Ad-
ministration opponent, said there
would be additional speech-making
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-(1P)-
President Roosevelt shunted aside
the usual routine of callers and
conferences today and devoted his
time to composing a Navy Day
speech for tomorrow expected to
contain important statements on
foreign policy.
because the committee" approved re-
peal of the Neutrality Act's provision
forbidding American merchantmen
from entering belligerent ports or
designated combat areas.
Nye and Senator Vandenberg
(Rep.-Mich.) another Administration
foe, said there was no intention to
filibuster, but Nye added that "this
is the last step we take before ac-
tually entering the war, and it is
an issue which quite normally would
call for speeches by close to 96 Sen-
ators."
The committee bill, approved after
four days of hearings, would carry
out President Roosevelt's recent rec-
ommendations regarding shipping.

KUIBYSHEV, Russia, Oct. 25.-(YP)
-German armies reinforced, by
troops from the Leningrad front are
hurling mass assaults against Soviet
forces in revitalized offensives at
the western approaches to Moscow,
into the Crimea, and toward Rostov
on the road to the Caucasus, Russian
frontline dispatches said tonight.
A supreme test, Moscow's defenders
admitted was rapidly developing in
the 23-day-old Nazi offensive in
which the Russians say Adolf Hitler
has lost 300,000 men.
Six successive attacks by the Ger-
man 129th motorized division upon
the Soviet left flank in the Mozhaisk
sector, 57 miles west of the capital,
were declared repulsed in three days.
Here a howling wind shrouded the
fallen with drifted snow.
In the Maloyaroslavets sector, 65
miles southwest of Moscow, the Ger-
mans were reported thwarted in at-
tempts to cross the Oka River.
A second mighty Nazi offensive is
underway in the Crimea, where Rus-
sian accounts said. the first was beat-
en off with 5,000 German and Ru-
manian dead. Despite these losses,
it was admitted the Germans had
made new gains at the approaches of
the isthmus.
(There was no Soviet confirmation
of a German announcement of the
capture of Kharkov, the biggest in-
dustrial center of the Ukraine 150
miles northwest of Stalino.)

Two cigarette packages, a takeoff
on modern design, and four butts won
Alpha Sigma Phi first place in the
annual homecoming display contest,
with Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma and
Trigon receiving honorable mention.
With a twist of the wrist, the Al-
phas changed a well known slogan
to "Their Roasted," as applied to the
Golden Gophers, and built the Wol-
verines up to king size in two packs,'
10 players in each, commenting
"Where Particular People Congre-
gate." ,
Below a cloud of smoke, the butts
of Michigan State, Iowa, Pitt and
Northwestern rested in an ashtray;
next to it a match box with the in-
scription "The Wolverines are a
Match for Any Team."
Standing alone, king size, were two
numbers 86 and 54, for Captains
Westfall and Smith.
Backing up the entire display was
a public address system with a com-
plex, but complete repertoire which
included Michigan cheers and a
Michigan version of "Modern De-
sign." In the background, through
all this, the "Victors" sounded vali-
antly.
Sigma Chi went rustic in a big way,
using Paul Webb's Esquire cartoons
as a starter. Beginning with an out-
house and the legend "We ain't gona
plumer this one," they completed the
hill-billy establishment with live
chickens (no eggs reported)- a bale
of scattered hay and an old ricket
fence.
Trigon used a "not Harmonized,
but Michanized" team display, throw-
ing in a Gopher grinder-they go in
whole, come out hash idea--and four
other grinders for the last four
games. The final angle was packed
ground Gophers, with a whole one
looking 'on.
Kappa Sigma also used a hill-billy
theme, having the previous games
commemorated in small brown jugs,
and Minnesota bottled up in a huge
little brown jug. Hillbillies were scat-
tered around the lawn, drinking from
the jugs.
Biggest what might have been
award went to Sigma Chi who at-
tempted to have a cow in their dis-
play with the slogan "This ain't no
bull, beat Minnesota," but the idea
was given up after several men lost
several tussles with the obstinant bo-
vine, who refused to leave the rural
area.
Union Opera
Heads Await
MaleTryouts
Echoes of male chorus-girls and
football players waltzing in soft lights
will once again reverberate through
the collegiate corridors of Ann Arbor.
The Union Opera is coming again.
The show this year will be staged
from December, 9 to 16 and tryouts
are urged to sign up from 2 to 5:30
p.m. tomorrow and Tuesday in the
Union.
Actual tryouts for actors will be
held from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to
9 p.m. Thursday and Friday. But to-
morrow and Tuesday all are urged to
come out-writers, actors, make-up'
men, committee men, ad infinitum.
General chairman of this year's
cpera is Jim Gorman, '42. and Chuck
Boynton, '42, is production manager.
Gordon Hardy, Grad., is music di-
rector, and Tom Goodkind, '42, is in
charge of publicity. Bob Titus, '42,'
will be ticket chairman.
Personnel chairman is William
Todd, '42, and house chairman is Bob
Shedd, -'42. Robert Sibley, '42, will
be script chairman.
Shades of "Koanzaland," "Take a
Number" and "Four Out 'of Five"-
they're at it again! And this year's
Union opera will be bigger and better
than ever. At least that's what the
boys on the inside say about it.,

Chaplin, Lloyd And Others
To Return To Screen
Of LydiaMendelssohn
There's nothing like horseplay on
the screen to make you lose your dig-
nity by having a good, hearty laugh.
So the Art Cinema League is offer-
ing the hit films of the best fun-
providers in the movie business-the
Marx pranksters, muttering W. C.
Fields, ambling Charlie Chaplin and
screwball Harold Lloyd-for the pur-
pose of making freshmen out of se-
niors and breeding intellectuals with
low-brows.
Opening today at the Lydia Men-
delssohn Theatre is a twin-bill fea-
turing the Marx brothers in "Duck
Soup" and W. C. Fields in "The Bar-
ber Shop." Harold Lloyd and Charlie
Chaplin will appear on the screen
Nov. 9 and Nov. 23 to finish the job
of making you forget "yer bringin'
UP.
The comedies will be presented only
on Sundays. No single tickets for the
performances will be sold. Season
tickets are on sale at the Union and
State Street bookstores and at the
League.
You can even take your mother-in-
law. She might chuckle.
Rogers Suffers Spinal Injury In Battle
Frickey Scores Lone Gopher Marker

Sometimes when the fire and desire to win burns too brightly, smok
gets in your eyes.
Thus it was for Michigan yesterday as Minnesota's mighty gridiro
machine, rolling relentlessly toward another national championship, ou
manned the Wolverines, 7-0, before a record capacity crowd of 85,753 in tr

Concrete evidence of the fierceness wigth which the clash, number or

who suffered a spinal injury early in the first period. He was rushed
the hospital immediately for treatment and Dr. George Hammond, tea
physician, declared that Joe, a regular at his right flank' position for to
years, had incurred three fractures in the transverse processes of the lur
bar vertebrae that have terminated his collegiate grid career.
Minnesota's number one casualty was Helge Pukema, veteran startin
