J., Jan. 7.-(IP)- Trapped in the Indian Ocean on its maiden voyage by the outbreak of war between America and the Axis powers, a sleek American ship put into port today with 65 passengers who pitched in to help the crew paint the ship a wartime grey. The ship was equipped for black- outs when it left New York three and a half months ago. It was cam- ouflaged in a rolling sea in two days with men and women passengers slinging paint brushes and pails cheerfully.

(Continued from Page 1) broadcast communique acknowledged a Russian landing at Yevpatoriya,,I under protection of the Soviet Fleet, but claimed that the Soviet forces were "annihilated." From Feodosiya, which stands in eastern Crimea in the area of the junction of the main peninsula with Kerch, a second Russian offensive was driving westward. Supporting Russian forces were landed southwest of Peodosiya, the Germans admitted, but again the claim was made that they had been "smashed." The second most active theater of the day was in the Ukraine, where the upper column of the Russian armies of the south was reaching out for Kharkov, the great industrial center whose recapture would put Marshal Semeon Timoshenko a long way forward in his campaign for the restoration of all the Ukraine. There were reports the main Rus- sian forces had pushed forward to within 30 -miles of Kharkov on the east, but while there was no specific confirmation of this, the German communique acknowledged a "local breach" in the Nazi lines northeast of the city, but asserted these lines had been straightened out by coun- ter-attacks. On the Russian center before Mos- cow, where imprisonment of the main Nazi stronghold of Mozhaisk, 57 miles west of the capital, was being at- tempted-Soviet reports told of strong Red cavalry raids which forced the Germans to weaken their front lines to protect rearward com- munications. In the far north the Finns them- selves officially announced Russian forces had penetrated the Finnish lines north of Lake Onega in an of- fensive that remained unhalted. Measles Rate Rises Rapidly OnCampus Latest report on the sabotaging ef- fort of the German measles reveals the total of students hit by the fast spreading disease has risen to 26 since the University reopened Mon- day. Health Service warns students to watch for the symptoms which may include soreness in the glands behind the ears, rash on the face and chest, possible temperature, cold, or sore throat. So far the measles outbreak has not reached serious proportions but since the period of active illness doesn't strike until two to three weeks after exposure it is difficult to see how far it will spread. German measles, called "victory" measles during the last war, is not serious, usually lasting only three days. The sub-zero temperatures have kept the Health Service staff busy with a number of cases of frostbite, and Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, direc- tor, warns students against thawing out frozen ears, fingers and toes with sudden application of heat instead of the safer gradual method. Board Advises Further Instruction InCitizenship LANSING, Jan. 7.-(/P)-The Mich- igan Advisory Council for Citizenship Education, at its meeting here yes- terday, prescribed an expanded pro- gram of citizenship education for Michigan aliens and called for the aid of volunteer teachers.

Buikema, Council chair- man, said. CLASSIFIED 'ADVEBT]ISING.1 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING RATES Non-Contract $ A.46 per 15-word insertion for one or two days.

Bartlett, Far Last explorer and member of the Univer- sity botany department, will discuss America's first large theatre of war Sunday in the Rackham Lecture Hall. Sponsored by the Ann Arbor Chap- ter of the Committee to Defend America, Professor Bartlett's talk on "America and the Philippines" is based on a wide personal acquain- tance with our Pacific territories. Last year, as an agent of the United States Department of Agri- culture, Professor Bartlett undertook a special study of the Philippines' possible value to America as a source of quinine and rubber. Professor Bartlett is also familiar with Filipino life and customs, since he spent a year in the islands as ex- change professor with the University of the Philippines. In 1935 he was made a charter member of the Phil- ippines' National Research Council. During the last war, in 1918, Pro- fessor Bartlett began his East Indies work as a botanist for the United States Rubber Company. He per- formed additional studies for this company in 1926-27. Professor Bartlett will be the first Committee To Defend America speaker since Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. The committee has now adopted the slogan "Win the War- Win the Peace." Itense Cold- Wave Sweeps Ann Arbor; Fire, Injury Result As the mercury continued to hug the zero mark last night Ann Arbor residents "kept the home fires burn- ing" and as a result, the fire depart- ment had an "unusually busy eve- ning." At 6:00 p.m. an alarm was sounded for a fire at the corner of Calvin and Miller streets. Less than a half hour later firemen were called to a blaze at 1126 Broadway. A third alarm was sounded at 7:30 for a fire at 520 Walnut. Though none of the fires were reported as serious they kept the department on its toes. Along with the zero weather came icy streets and sidewalks. Wood Mor- gan, of Dexter, a milkman in, this city, slipped on an ice-covered step yesterday and fell on a milk bottle which he was delivering. The bottle broke making a severe cut in his wrist. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital with a possible severed ar- tery. OPM Replce Ol Committee Industry-Labor Deadlock InsuigatesChange WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-P)-A deadlock between management and labor representatives attempting, with OPM officials, to work out a program for converting the automo- bile industry to war materials pro- duction led the OPM today to replace the committee with a new group. OPM's action, constituting a re- jection of labor proposals for joint industry-labor-government supervis- ion of the pooling of resources dur- ing the conversion task, was bitterly assailed by the five labor members of the dissolved committee. A management spokesman, C. E. Wilson, President of General Motors, defended the action. He said that to divide the responsibility for manage- ment would amount to "socializa- tion" and would "destroy the very foundation upon which America's un- paralleled record of industrial ac- complishment has been built." R. J. Thomas, President of the United Auto Workers (CIO), charged in a statement that under the new, setup conversion, would be handled in "a leisurely way." Charges of Scrap Hoarding Retracted By Van Wagoner LANSING, Jan. 7.-(,P)-Governor Van Wagoner backed down today. from his implication that Michigan junk dealers were hoarding scrap iron of value to war-time steel pro- duction. At the same time, he appointed a State Salvage Committee to acceler- ate collections of scrap metal, waste paper, old rubber and rags. This morning the governor instruc- ted Byron L. Ballard, his legal ad- viser, to determine whether the state could confiscate scrap metal he be- lieved was being hoarded. This afternoon, he issued a state- ment declaring "I find that, rather than condemning scrap iron dealers and car wreckers, Michigan should give them wholehearted thanks for the leadership they have assumed for some months, and the all-time rec- ord movement of scrap iron to the steel mills that they have achieved in Michigan." Van Wagoner said the junk dealers made periodic reports to the Office of Production Management, that piles of scrap on dealers' hands were awaiting cutting up and sorting and that many dealers paid considerable sums from their own pockets to pro- mote scrap iron collections. -I U Graduate G iven Medal For Bravery Lt. Donald S. Robins, '30, has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by the War Department for taking part in a secret air flight made by four-engine bombers from Honolulu to the Philippines last Sep- tember. Among the 75 men who received the Flying Cross in Manila last month was Capt. Colin P. Kelly, Jr., who received it posthumously. Lieu- tenant Robins was in the bomber, piloted by Captain Kelly, which sank the Japanese battleship Haruna. On the way back the bomber was at- tacked by two Japanese fighter planes. Five members of the crew bailed out when fire broke out in the motors. The ship exploded blowing Lieutenant Robins out. He para- chuted to earth. Captain Kelly died in the explosion. Lieutenant Robins was a Quarter- master Corps reserve officer called to active service in January, 1941. His parents believe that his work in con- nection with the mass flight was that fo arranging for supplfes for the bombers at Hawaii. He then accom- panied the flight to the Philippines where he has been stationed ever since. This mass flight was cited by the War Department as an example of "heroism and extraordinary achievement." The planes which took part in it have since been helping to defend the Philippines. Lieutenant Robins is a graduate of the University and of the Detroit College of Law. BEN.
