LIL No. 35 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1941 Z-323 E PRICE FIVE CENTS Finns No Stoppages In Production, Is Pledge Made By Roosevelt President Hits 'Misguided Industrialists, Leaders Of Labor' In Warning Says U.S. Ready ; To Go All The Way WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. -(A)- ,While representatives of 35 nations applauded, President Roosevelt pled- ged today no "misguided" industrial- ist or labor leader shall prevail against America's defense production nd its "unlimited commitment that there shall be a free world." Warning that United States was prepared to go all the way to bring about Hitler's downfall, the Chief Executive told the final session of the Intternational Labor Office Confer- ence that this country must make' "full sacrifices" now or postpone the day of, real sacrifice-as did the. French-until it is too late." President Speaks The President spoke from the east room of the White House before 250 delegates to the conference estab- lished by the League of Nations to iipdove the ;standard of living of workers the world over. His words were broadcast over three networks and to every other nation by short-. wave. . Repeatedly the delegates broke in- to applause, their first when Mr., Roosevelt, speaking directly to repre- sentatives of occupied lands, asked them to transmit this pledge to their ..people..: "You have not been forgotten; you will, not be forgotten." President Also The. Presidendt also struck out aginfst a few isguided industri- alists and leaders of labor who, he said, think only of profits and "de- liberately delay defense output by using their 'economic power' to force acceptance of their demands, rather than use the established ma- chinery for the mediation of indus- trial, disputes. "Yes, they are but few," he said, measuring his words. "They do not represent the great mass of Ameri- can workers and employers. The American people have made an un- limited commitment that there shall b4 a free world. Against that com- mitment no individual or group shall prevail." Stain Scores* Allies' Inaction Lack Of Two-Front War Bolsters German Army LONDON, Nov. 6--P)-Russia's setbacks at the hands of the German Army were laid by Premier Joseph Stalin today primarily to the fact no second front had been opened in Europe by Great Britain-or the United States. "What is the cause of the tempo- rary lack of success of the Red Army?" Stalin inquired in a speech broadcast to the world by the Moscow radio. Then he said: "One of the causes is definite lack of a second front in Europe against the German Fascists. , "The matter is that at the present l time on the European continent there are no armies of Great Britain or the United States conducting war against the German Fascist armies. "Therefore, the Germans need not divide their forces to conduct a war on two fronts--on the west and in the east." Harmon Meets Knox -Both Sides Offside BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 6--(R)- Tommy Harmon flew in today to talk about a movie contract and, he intimated, something a bit more per- sonal. To! End Russian War, Re or 'Advices Says Russia To Receive Arms- In Lend-Lease Extension President Grants' $1,000,000,000 Credit To Soviet; Stalin Appoints Litvinoff Ambassador To U.S. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-VP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt threw the vast lease- lendcoffers of the United States open to Russia tonight, granting the Sovi- ets a $1,000,000,000 credit, witout in- terest, to buy weapons to battle Hit- ler. The announcement came unexpec- tedly from the State Department which made public correspondence in which Joseph Stalin thanked Mr. Roosevelt for this "unusually sub- stantial aid" in the "great struggle, against our common enemy, blood- thirsty Hitlerism.' Great Loan Th great loan was announced only a few hours after it became .known that Maxim Litvinoff, former Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs, had been taken off the political shelf in Russia, and named Ambassador to the United States. It was assumed Litvinoff's mission would be to strive for greater aid for his country. Whether he would urge more active aid than credits was not immediately known. In announcing the credit, the State Department made public a para- phrase of a letter the President ad- dressed to Stalin Oct. 30. In it the President spoke of the recent Moscow conference, attended by American and! British representa- tives, at which arrangements were made to speed supplies to Russia. cial difficulties," Mr. Roosevelt wrote, immediate arrangements are to be made so that supplies up to $1,000,- 000,000 in value may be effected un- der the lease-lend act. "If approved by the government of the U.S.S.R., I propose that the in- debtedness thus incurred be subject Choral Union Will Present Third Concert, to no interest and thatthe payments by the government of the U.S.S.R. do not commence until five years after the war's conclusion and be com- pleted over a ten-year period there- after." It was expected that most, if not all, of the weapons and materials to be bought with the $1,000,000,000 would be produced in this country, although the announcement did not say so definitely. The Presidents note assured Stalin all the "implications" of the Moscow conference would be carried out to the limit. Stalin replied Nov. 4 that he deeply appreciated this pledge, and went on to agree completely with the terms on which the $1,000,000,000 loan was offered. He also agreed to another pro- posal by Mr. Roosevelt, that the So- viet Union make special arrange- ments to sell the United States raw materials and commodities urgently needed here, the proceeds to be cred- ited to Russia's account.

TokyQ Paper Insists U.S. Make Terms Japanese Patience At End States Times-Advertiser, Foreign Office Organ Burma Road Move May Be Imminent TOKYO, Nov. 6-(IP)-Japan's pa- tience has "reached the point of ex- haustion" and its Army may strike next at the Burma Road to cut off American suplies to China unless the United States cqmes to terms with its special envoy, 'Saburo Kurusu, the the foreign oice organ, Japan Times and Advertiser, declared tonight. "There is always the possibility, even the probability of a direct march on the Burma Road," the editorial said, "to force America 'to abandon what is tantamount to direct military iperations against Japan at the ex- pense of the American people." Kurusu's trip by plane across the Pacific was described as "a last op- portunity (for the United States) to make amends for aggression and re- store the occasion for an amicable settlement." All Japanese papers interpreted the special mission as "proof of Japanese sincerity," in wishing to avoid conflict with the United States in East Asia where Japan claims dominance, and Miyako said "evidently Premier Tojo wishes to get a quick decision on Japanese-American talks." The Times and Advertiser's hint of possible forthcoming operations by Japanese forces based in French Indo- China was accompanied by a decla- ration that "there is very hope that force will not be necessary. But Japan is prepared for any eventu- alities." Traffic over the Burma supply route, the Foreign Office organ said, already has been hampered by air raids-"but the permanent solution would be Japanese occupation of the road." When and how Japan's troops move "are matters for the high com- mand," it added, but asserted once. such an expedition is undertaken, "America's choice 1 between letting Chungking down or keeping Chung- king up would be solved automati- cally, for it could not assist Chiang Kai-Shek's party if the sole remain- ing/major avenue bf supply were cut." Japan sent a sharp rotest to Russia today and demanded a prompt reply to its charges that the 4,523-ton Japanese steamer Kehi Maru was hit by a Russian mine in the Sea of Japan and sunk with the apparent loss of 149 persons. Another 247 abord were rescued. Film' League Will Run First Double Show The Art Cinema League believes in the idea that intellectuals and low- brows meet in full accord at come- dies, and the more fantastic the comedy, the greater their fundament- al agreement. Acting on this principle, the League announced a four-program comedy series on Sunday evenings and found their faith justified-it' was a complete sell-out. To those who missed the opportun- ity to buy tickets to the regular 8:15 p.m. performances, the League now' offers a supplementary showing of the same films at 6:30 p.m. on the established dates-Sunday, Nov. 23, and Jan. 18. Season tickets for the remaining three performances are on sale at a reduced price in the League, Union, and a State Street bookstore. Featuring America's greatest com- edy stars in some of their most fam- There Was A Disturbance Last Night, The legal minds of the Phi Del- ta Phi house said it was only "nocturnal nonsense," but more than 200 freshmen at the West Quad and the local police would term that a gross understatement. There was a fracas between the freshmen and the lawyers late last night caused by some derogatory cat-calls arising from members of the two factions--who cat-called first is not known definitely. At any rate, the lawyers, who were playing football in the street below the dorm, proved irritating -or possibly tempting game-and the Class of '45 swarmed from the West Quad en masse. Faced with overwhelming odds, the lawyers executed a strategic retreat into the Phi Delta Phi for- tress. Heroes to the end, (when the police came), they claim it was not they who summoned the guardians of the peace, but some sensitive coeds in the neighboring Adelia Cheever house. That's the legal version. Net results-nobody hurt, two Phi Delta windows broken, one Phi Delta garden hose stolen, and a pending suit against some un- identified West Quad bugler who the Phi Delt's say is the main Draw T o A Close By Radio Reveal Operations Russians Counter-Attacking, Advancin On Germans Along Moscow Front; Large Body Of Beseigers Retreat threat to knowledge Street. their pursuit of legal at 502 East Madison One of the nation's finest musical institutions will appear on the Hill Auditorium stage at 3 p.m. Sunday, when the Cleveland Symphony Or- chestra, under the baton of Artur Rodzinski, will present the third con- cert of the annual Choral Union Series. A quarter of a century ago, this organization got its start. Eight years ago Artur Rodzinski took over the baton. Today the orchestra is enjoy- ing its greatest season. Dr. Charles A. Sink; president of the University Musical Society, pre- dicts a sell-out for the concert. "There aren't many tickets left," is the reason. Those that yet remain may be pur- chased at the offices of the Univer- sity Musical Society in Burton Mem- orial Tower. The program for the afternoon concert includes the following works: Overture to "Euryanthe" by Weber; Symphony No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 82, by Sibelius; "Iberia," Impressions for Orchestra No. 2, by Debussy; and "Scenario for Orchestra" dn Themes' from "Show Boat," by Kern. . Fund Receipts Fail To Reach Expected Goal Campaign Of Community Ends With Collections Falling Short Of Quota The Community Fund campaign closed yesterday still short of its $59,- 434 goal. At the close of the final re- butions had reached $43,452.45, or port meeting at the Union contri- 73% of the total. Although the intensive drive has ended, oficially the campaign won't be over until all pledge cards, signed or unsigned, have been turned in to the campaign officials, John Moore, executive secretary said. There are many pledge cards still in the hands of solicitors, and it is expected that these will bring in a sufficient amount for the goal to be realized. The special gifts and the University divisions ended their campaigns ahead of the other 'divisions with totals of $20,271.10 and $9,614.45 re- spectively. The University division was headed by Prof. Albert H. Marck- wardt, of the Department of English, and Prof. John P. Dawson, of the Law School. Prof. Laylin K. James of the Law School was chairman of the general campaign organization. .Totals reported by other divisions follow: Women's $2816.75; Junior Chamber of Commerce $1195; Service Clubs $354; Industrial $2726.50; Com- mercial $3381; University Hospital $495.90; Utilities $1325; Public Schools $1185.75 and Dunbar Com- munity Center $87. (By The Associated Press) i < The Germans appeared last night to have about given up for the for- seeable future their efforts to take Moscow and Leningrad and there, were plausible suggestions that Hit- ler was preparing to turn the mfain force of his northern and central armies southward soon to join his already immense southern columns in a great struggle for the Caucasus and the Crimea. First, there was a reports by British informants that most of the German aerial squadrons were being with- drawn from both the Moscow and Leningrad fronts, some being sent directly to the south and others go- ing ba~,k to Germany for refitting and reorganization of pilot person- nel. This substantial concession of fail- ure for the Leningrad and Moscow offensives-so London described it and is, indeed, it seemed to be on the basis of the, available infor- mation-was attributed principally to the inability of the air arm to smash the extremely strong Russian outer defenses before Moscow and Leningrad as it had done in so many other theatres. The British thought, too, that the task of supplying ad- vanced aerial bases over 1,500 miles of hard-contested communication lines had proved too great. Second, in Berlin itself there was speculation of the possibility of a grand offensive down uponi the broad Caucasian. Isthmus between the Azov and Caspian Seas. An operation of such scope would imply the use not only of the existing southern Ger- man Armies, which are approaching the Caucasus from the west, but, a thrust to the south of the strong forces now all but immobilized before Leningrad and Moscow. Battalions Undaunted By Rain; Will March At 5:10 p.m. today a stalwart bat- talion of cadets from the senior "and sophomore classes .ofs the; ROTC will buck the odds of Ann Arbor weather and sally forth for what was /to have been the second of two fall parades. Last Friddy's ceremony was thwart- ed by the same sort of precipitation evident in the community for the past two days. The same weather signal willhbe used as for that par-s ade: ,if the flag across from the Library is flying at 4 p.m. the parade has been cancelled. The 28-piece ROTC Drum and Bugle Corps will set the cadence as the battalion marches in review fol- lowing the ceremony of retreat. All faculty members, students and towns- people are invited to attend.'- I -BULLETIN KUIBYSHE, Russia, Nov. 6.- (- The Red Army was reported tonight to be pressing a major counter-attack on the right wing .of the Moscow defenses in the direc- tion of Volokolamsk, advancing as mucdhas three miles at one point and throwing a large German force into retreat. strongest Nazi displeasure if not in fact something worse-would sharply weaken the northern German wing and quite possibly would permit the reopening of the railway line runiing from Murmansk to Leningrad. The Finns are understood to have cut that line in some points-and it is prospectively at least a vital supply route-or at any rate to be command- ing it in those areas. "It is realized that our frontiers cannot finally be determined until the coming peace conference," said the Finnish announcement. This could be read to mean that the Finns expected such discussions soon, but there has been nothing to indicate any such development. Finland Insists, Finland has insisted all along that it was fighting Russia not as an out- and-out German ally, but only to se- cure its frontiers for the future and to regain certain territory taken from it in the past by the Soviet Union. American pressure obviously had had results as early as Wednesday, for on that day a Finish spokesman found it necessary /to deny reports of demonstrations in Helsinki-a cap- ital which gratefully remembers American friendship for Finland in its war with Russia iii 1939-40-and clashes between the crowds and the police. A separate peace by Finland aside from tearing a hole in the facade of a "crusade" against Bolshevism which the Nazis had erected would come at a time when Hitler's progress against Russia is very slow everywhere save in the far south. News Agency Report Earlier the Finnish news agancy had issued a denial of reports abroad that Finland had been presented Rus- sia's peace terms on Aug. 18. (U. S. Secretary of State Hull said on Nov. 3 that he had told Finnish Minister Hjalmar J. Procope that the United States had learned Russia was prepared to discuss peace with territorial compensation for Finland.) Saroyan Comedy To Be Presented "Jim Dandy," William Saroyan's thought-provoking fantasy-comedy, will be presented for the third time in its four day run at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. LONIDON, Friday, Nov. 7.--(A')-- The Foreign Office declined to comment today on the Finnish radio statement that Finland's war with Russia is "drawing to a close." The first defectior among Ger- many's associates in the war upon Russia drew near last night with an official Finish radio announcement: "Military operations are drawing to a close as far as our country is con- cerned." This, a diplomatic way of saying that Finland had made about the last march with the Germans, seemed to represent a major triumph for Amer- ican diplomacy. Washington only last Monday disclosed that the Finns had been informed that they must cease offensive action against the Soviet or lose American 'friendship. Finland's withdrawal-if' indeed it is able to go through with it in the A DKE Gets The Part: SSelf-Styled Non-Entity' To Star In 1941 Mimes Union Opera Harvard Man Is Gloom Dispenser: Hooton Calls Race 'Degenerate'.

And the rest of the time Mimes By HALE CHAMPION and JOHN ERLEWINE He looks like the Harvard profes- sor to end all Harvard professors, but behind the old school accent lies a mind as tough and unafraid of facts as that of a hard-headed New Dealer like Leon Henderson. Prof. Earnest A. Hooton yesterday spoke three feet over the heads of some 500 Michigan parents and teachers in giving mankind the ver- bal lacing it has long deserved but seldom received; but also told them some unforgettable facts about the world in which they live. The famous Harvard anthropolo- gist did no bushbeating as he told the slightly shocked delegates of the Parnt Frdeuation Tnntitutp tehat man Asking that youth abandon the time-worn vocational trails and seek new job opportunities, Dean Carroll Sibley of Los Angeles College yester- day told delegates to the twelfth an- nual Parent Education Institute that both parents and educators must en- courage exploration of new trades and professions.
