he applied for Japanese, Russian and
American visas.
By the time the received the Rus-
sian visa, the NazhSoviet war had
broken out. The only remaining route
was through Syria, Iraq and India.
On August 13 Sungur lest Istanbul
by train for Bagdad. Originally in-
tending to wait at Bagdad until
steamer passage was assured out of
Bombay, Sungur took a plane to Bas-
ra, India.
Forced to abandon the direct route
to Bombay because the rail commu-
nications had been disrupted by the
August rains, Sungur traveled to the
border of the Himalayas and from
there to Delhi and Bombay. He de-
scribed the part of India he was in as
a country of plains. Train connec-
tions were poor and the natives im-
poverished.

At Bombay Sungur obtained pass-
age on the President Grant for a
17-day trip to Capetown, South Af-
rica-12 more days, Trinidad-and
then 7 days to New York. Several
times the course of the boat was
changed because of the fear of a
submarine attack. Two Brtish con-
voys were sighted in the Atlantic.

Gee! Stay Inside On
A Nice Day Like Dis?
There's something about a jail .. .
But atmosphere had nothing to do
with the new lw in prisoners con-
fined to the Washtenaw county jail
yesterday. There were only 12 pris-
oners.
Earlier this fall as many as 50 vio-
lators of the law could be found on
several occasions buyester4a's fig-
ure represents an all-year bottom.
Nine of the prisoners are serving jus-
tice court sentences, two are awaitig
trial in circuit court and one is mark-
ing time for a probate court hearing.
Of the 12 inmates six were put there
by Ann Arbor's police force and six
are the charges of sheriff's officers
and state police.
Sungur said, were government repre-
sentatives from Greece and Yugo-
slavia seeking aid for their countries
from the United States. Reports
reaching Turkey before Sungur left
pictured the Greeks as near starva-
tion.f
Referring to the present position of
his country, Sungur pointed out that
the majority of the Turkish people
want to remain neutral and do not
expect an attack by either the Ger-
mans or the British. He admitted,
however, that the government was
continually on the alert for any hos-
tile move and was maintaining a pol-
icy of preparedness.

Revelli Calls
Band Tryouts
Meeting Today
Instrumentalists Sought
For New 'Pops' Band;
Auditions At 4:30 P.M.
If you can play a clarinet, French
horn or trombone and don't wish to
be a University band member, thenE
you'd better lay low for a week or
so,-because Prof. William D. Revelli,,
conductor of the University bands, is.
on the lookout for all students who
answer one of these descriptions.
However, anyone who does wish
to play in a University band, no
matter what instrument, needn't
wor'y. He has only to report at 4:30
p.m. today at Morris Hall to become
a member of the newly/ organized
Pops Bands, the first campus organi-
zation of its kind.
As a lure, Professor Revelli offers I
the fact that the Pops Band will cater
almost entirely to popular and light
concert music, presenting a series of
outdoor concerts in the spring. It
will also appear at home basketball
games and other campus events.
"The turnout at the first meeting
Wednesday was very encouraging,"
he reported, "but I can still use addi-
tionpl students in almost all sec-
tions. I especially need clarinets,
French horns and trombones."
Meeting only twice a week, the
Pops Band will afford an opportunity
for band participation for those stu-
dents who feel tiey lack the time
necessary for playing in the Concert
Band.
The first appearance of the new
organization will be made at the
Michigan State basketball game here
Saturday, Dec. 13, Professor Revelli
announced, and rehearsals next week
will be in preparation for that ap-
pearance.
