greatly decrease our armament aid to
Britain and Russia, since we are now
able to anticipate full production-
enough for our own needs and those
of our allies.
Prof. Albert Hyma of the history
department, who has just finished a;
history of the role of the Dutch in
the Far East, hoped that this new
turn in American affairs would bring
a better understanding of the iipor-
tance ,of this country's stake in the
Pacific.
In his opinion the United States
should concentrate on crushing
Japan-for the Dutch East Indies
which are now endangered furnish
many of our most vital defense sup-
plies. He added that a large section
of the Dutch navy is now stationed
in the East Indies ready to act in
conjunction with the United States
and Britain.
An immediate decrease in the num-
ber of strikes will mark labor's reac-
tion to the Far Eastern crisis, in the
opinion of William Haber, professor
of labor economics. Responsible labor
leaders -like responsible isolationist
leaders in Congress--were unaware of
the gravity of the situation in the
Pacific, Professor Haber stated. Now'
that the threat has become apparent,
labor will cooperate fully, he said.
As to the Smith anti-strike bill
now before Congress, Professor Ha-
ber believes the necessity for such
,legislation is now greatly lessened.
However, Congress will probably
vote the President broad war-time
powers to settle strikes on his own
responsibility in order that war pro-
duction will .not be impeded, he
declared.
'Iron-Men' Still Awake
After 100 Hour Duel
The University of Michigan's two
sleepless iron-men had moved into
the 100th hour of their own private,
war against sleep by press-time today.
Bob Mitchell, '45A, of Benton Har-
bor, and Clair Van Etten, '43E, of
Gowand, N.Y., are more determined
than ever to "fight to the last hour"
for the $5 bet they have between
them that each can outlast the other.
Wearing dark glasses and needing
a shave, Bob Mitchell admitted that
"the situation was still a deadlock"
but added: "I am confident in this
grave crisis that my huge reserve
strength will wear down my oppon-
ent before another day is through.,"
Roommate Clair Van Etten is be-
ginning to complain of "light-head-
edness" but denies that his position
is undergoing terrific bombardment
and that he will soon give way to
superior force. Pointing to his third
pack of cigarettes in the last 24
hours, he issued this terse communi-
que: "These weapons will carry me to
ultimate victory."
Morgenthatj Bans Japs
Froin Nalion' s Brders
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-(AP)-Sec-
retary Morgenthau tonight closed the
nation's borders to Japanese nationals
and imposed a strict ban on any fi-
nancial transactions by Japanese
aliens.
The Treasury's actions came in a
brief order by Secretary. Morgenthau
revoking all outstanding general and
specific licenses for any transactions
by Japanese which may have been
issued since Japanese and Chinese
credits in this country were frozen by
executive order on July 25.
Local FirmsI
Are Prepared
For Sabotage
A war emergency announcement'
from Washington yesterday ordering
all defense plants to take "proper
measures" against sabotage finds
Ann Arbor industries fully prepared.
Chief of Police Sherman Morten-
son, working with the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, has informed his
men of necessary precautionary
measures, but many local companies'
have been guarding against monkey
wrenches and emery dust for over a
year.
Hoover Ball and Bearing, one of
the biggest factories in town, has
already placed FBI-trained men
within its plant after the govern-
ment agents' recent inspection, of its
premises.
F. J. Lapointe of American Broach
and Machine Co., told The Daily yes-
terday that "we have received pre-1
vious instruction as to what means
to take in an emergency." LaPointe's
firm, makers of an improved gun-+
boring machine tool, also reported a
government order last week for
"heavier equipment to make a new
type of artillery weapon."
Planning to fence its entire prop-
erty, the Buhr Machine Tool Com-
pany will soon institute identifica-
tion badges for all workers.
International Industries also re-
ported worker identification, along
with a four-page FBI form which
must be filled out by new employes.
Night watchmen and plant guards
have already been added to local per-
sonnel forces, with several smaller
plants relying on familiarity withem-
ployes to forestall any stoppages by
outsiders.
Pacific.Coast
Alert For Raid
Aircraft Plants Prepared
With Listening Devices
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7-AP)--
The army and navy went on a war
basis on the Pacific seaboard today.
All leaves were cancelled, all fur-
loughs revoked, and every man was
instructed to report to his station.
The Japanese bomb attacks on
Pearl Harbor and Manila, coming
with stunning suddenness, reacted
like a trigger pull to set the sea force
and harbor defense at the alert.
The commandant of the three naval
districts on the west coast appealed
by every medium for every officer and
man to report to his post.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7-(AP)-A naval
official who declined to be quoted
said today that the Navy Department
had sent out an urgent call to all
officers on leave to report at once to
naval districts in which they are lo-
cated.
The second corps army area head-
quarters here revoked, all leaves and
furloughsand ordered all men to re-
port to their posts.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-(P)-The Chi-
gago Bears defeated the. Chicago
Cardinals today, 34-24, and tied the
Green Bay Packers for first place in

Ex-Hawaiica
Not Worried
About Mother
Although his mother is living in
Honolulu, Dick Emory, '42, an Ameri-
can resident of the Hawaiian Islands
for the past 15 years, isn't worried.
Most of the white population of
Honolulu, Emory explained, live in
the valleys of Oahu Island. These
valleys were not the points of the
Japanese attacks. It is possible, he
said that the heaviest casualties have
taken place in the newly-built resi-
dential sections outside the naval
area of Pearl Harbor.
This residential area was construct-
ed by the Unitted States Government

meet the New York Giants, eastern to house the large numbers of labor-
titlists, for the league championship ers who had come to Hawaii to work
Dec. 21.
The Bears came from behind in the
last five minutes of the fourth quar-
ter for two touchdowns and a victory.
The Cardinals had gone ahead, 24-21,
on the opening play of the final period
and for the next 10 minutes it looked
like they would win by that score.
But the great Bear machine was
equal to the task. Power plays by
Bob Swisher, Norman Standlee and
George McAfee carried the ball 23
yards, and then the Bears called on
their great passer, Sid Luckman, to do
the rest.
Dodgers Upset Giants
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-(A)-It was
"Tuffy Leemans Day" at the Polo
Ground for the New York Giants
fullback today, but plungin' Pug Man-
ders stole the show as the Brooklyn
Dodgers upset their uptown rivals 21
to 7 to close out the National Profes-
sional Football League season.
Before the National League's larg-
est crowd of the year-55,051-the
former Drake University line-bucker
scored all three Dodger touchdowns.
The Giants were saved from a shut
out when Hank Soar heaved a 60 yard
touchdown pass to Kay Eakin on the
end zone with 24 seconds to go.
Redskins Win
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. -(/)-
Slingin' Sammy Baugh rifled three
touchdown passes to give the Wash-
ington Redskins a 20-14 victory over
the Philadelphia Eagles in a National
Pro League football game today.
"Baugh connected with Joe Aguirre
on the defense projects in Pearl Har-
bor. According to Emory, these pro-
jects have almost completely changed
the external appearance of the har-
bor within the past year and a half.
The Japanese assault, Emory em-
phasized, must have come as complete
surprise to the majority of the Ha-
waiian population. When he left the
islands in September, most people
thought that the Nipponese would
not be audacious enough to attack
such an apparently impregnable for-
tress.
Questioned about the loyalty of the
Japanese living in Hawaii, Emory
declared that most Americans there
were of the opinion that the younger
generation, educated in American
schools and instilled with the ideals
of 'democracy, would remain loyal to
the United States.
No Student Unit
Policy Chan ged
NIROTC, ROTC, And CAA
Ake Unaffected By War
As far ,as military circles on this
campus could ascertain tonight there
will be no change in the status of
those students enrolled in the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps, the
Naval Reserve Officers Training'
Corps, and the Civil Aeronautics Au-
thority.
Capt. Lyal Davidson, Commandant
of the local naval unit, said that it
would be conducted on exactly the
same basis 'as in peace time, and add-
ed that he could not comment on the
strategic position of the opposing
powers because of his official status.
Captain Vollrath, in charge of pub-
licity for, the ROTC unit, also stressed
that nothing has been changed yet,
and that no news of impending
change has come from the War De-
partment. He added that he per-
sonally thought that the Allied navies
could pretty well handle the situa-
tion.
Prof. Emerson Conlon of the School
of Engineeripg, who is director of the
CAA pr)gram, declared that the pilots
now in raining will not be affected by
the war with Japan. Although the
program operates under a govern-
ment subsidy, the participants are
subject to compulsory military serv-
ice only through regular draft chan-
nels.
