JOVEMBER 18,\E1941 r- MICIIG N DAILY . 7;500 Pipes Are Played Daily By Organist Palmer Christian By HARRY LEVINE Seventy-five hundred pipes may be a pipe dream to you, but to Prof. Palmer Christian, University organ- ist and member of the music school faculty, it's just part of his daily finger exercises. Professor Christian, who will give his third recital of the current fall Wednesday afternoon series at 4:15 p.m. tomorrow in Hill Auditorium, 4'xplained many of the mechanisms of the Frieze Memorial organ in an in- terview yesterday. The organ pipe chamber, which is 18 feet wide, 40 feet high and over 50 feet long, looked cramped asProfessor Christian was forced to bend down in pointing out the dif- ferent pipes. Tapping the base of a huge wooden pipe encasement which resembed a giant pillar more than an organ pipe, he compared its thirty- two foot height with another pipe not far away which measured about one half an inch. The respective rumble and squeak made the difference even more impressive. Later, after emerging from the chamber, Professor Christian an- For tomorrow's program, Profes- sor Christian has chosen a progra including ,the works of Handel, Caesar Franck, Maleingreau and Doty. Representing Handel will be four pieces from the Water Music Suite. E. William Doty, whose "Mist" will be played is a former student and faculty member here. He is now Dean of Fine Arts at the University, of Texas. nounced the formation of a new Sun- day afternoon series of recitals to start next semester.

How- ever, -there has been an increasing demand for Professor Christian to give. his recitals on a day when more people will have an opportunity to attend.

But to questioning reporters they had little to say. To one query Kurusu replied by gesturing toward Nomura with the remark: "There is the Japanese Am- bassador. 'Ask him. I am only the Ambassador's assistant." At the White House more pictures were taken, but reporters' questions were dodged with even more dexter- ity. Kurusu, who in Manila had used baseball language in referring to himself as a pinch hitter, in San Francisco had said he hoped to ",carry the ball through for a touch- down" and in Washington had used the race track term "you be the book- maker," had no similar sporting phrase for today. Meanwhile, in Tokyo, the House of Representatives gave swift approval tonight to the government's 3,800.000- 000 yen (nominally $874,000,000) ex- traordinary military budget and the press trumpeted that Japanese-Amer- ican relations "have gone from bad to worse."

Film tLeague Will Present The Puritan' Written by a man who once called Hollywood "technically marvelous.' mentally void," "The Puritan" will open a three-day run at 8:15 p.m. Thursday in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre. The French production, to appear here under the auspices of the Art Cinema League, is the work of Liam Q'Flaherty. author of 1935's prize winner, "The Informer." Loth a psychological study of the crazed killer Ferriter and a blast against church and legal censorship, the film has aroused storms of con- troversy in Europe's Fascist countries and in New York State. It was made, in pre-war Paris in 1937. O'Flaherty's novel ran a rough course before it finally appeared in America. It was first presented on the New York stage in 1936, and is easily one of the most subtly pro- vocative films of the decade. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow in the Lydia Mendelssohnl box office. , The Coliseum ice rink has opened for the 1941-42 season.

U.S. Captures Richly Laden German Ship First Nazi Vessel Taken As American Warship Blocks Reich Cargo WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-UP)- The Navy brought into port today its first major prize of the battle of the Atlantic-the disguised German motor ship Odenwald, loaded with rubber and automobile tires destined for the Reich or Nazi-dominated Europe. Seized in the South Atlantic No- vember 6 in the guise of the Ameri- can merchant ship Willmoto, and damaged in an attempt at scuttling, the vessel limped into the harbor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, with a naval crew aboard. Prompt legal action was antici- pated to forfeit the Odenwald, a craft of 9,098 tons, along with its cargo of more than 3,000 tons of rubber, for violating' laws of the sea. The status of the crew of 12 officers and 33 men, who were taken into naval custody, remained undetermined. The Navy said investigation dis- blosed the ship had left Yokohama, Japan, two months earlier and had sailed around Cape Horn at the tip of South America with the intention 3f running the British blockade. Its destination was believed to be Bor- leaux, Occupikd France. The Navy's account gave the im- pression that the first suspicions that the vessel was sailing under false colors were aroused by actions of the crew after the Odenwald was first sighted when 11 miles distant. Signals of the cruiser, which the Navy declined to identify, were ignored. Then, during a subse- quent conversational exchange shout- ed through megaphones, the Nazi crew started throwing over the sides "a continuous stream of packages." A boarding party was sent to th1 Odenwald, and then came two ex- plosions as the attempt to scuttle was 'nade. The German crew hurriedly put two lifeboats over the side, and two frightened men lepped into the water. Notified of the scuttling attempt, the warship commander thereupon sent a salvage crew aboard, and with "no cooperation at all" from the Germans, this force succeeded in making emergency repairs and start- Ing the engines after an all-day struggle. I II Hittite Civilization Is Lectur e Topic.DAILY OFFICIAL Of .Prof. GrsIng BULLETIN Somewhere the man she is looking for is sure to be. Perhaps you are the one she tells her friends about in the dormitory or sorority, and if so, you're a lucky fellow. But there is no better way of assuring continued interest on her part than seeing that your personal appearance is always at the same high* level, for nothing can ruin a fellow's personality more than untidy attire; shirts that are wrinkled and soiled, for example. The .best way of avoiding this is to have your laundering done by a laundry with ex- perience- and a sound reputation, and here in Ann Arbor no better can be found than the independent Ann Arbor laundries.
