Far East Film
Will Be Shown
By Art Cinema
Dominant Pacific Nations
To Be Subject Of Talks
Accompanying Picture
The lastrprofessional colored mo-
tion pictures fib come out of Japan
will be a part of "Circle of Fire," a
film which will be shown at 8:15
p.m. Sunday in the Rackham Audi-
torium by the Art Cinema League
with an accompanying lecture on the
nations dominating the Pacific.
Tickets are on sale at the League
and a State Street bookstore.
Five months in the summer and
fall of 1940 coupled with 25,000 miles
of travel in the Orient-by clipper,
auto, horse and steamer-were need-
ed by University graduate Francis R.
Line to photograph virtually every
"hot spot" in the Far East for "Cir-
cle of Fire."
Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor
attaches new interest to Line's shots
taken inside Japan and close-ups of
Shanghai, Hongkong and Singa-
pore. Java, center of life in the
Dutch East Indies, is portrayed fully
-its native life, its rich wealth of
tropical products, its modern cities-
all of these are shown in vivid color.
The film depicts the Philippines
and America's vita defenses in Ha-
waii.
Deans , Discuss
Defense. Plans
Regents Will Meet Jan 30
To Dee, k Progran
Much detailed discussion of the
entire war effort in its relation to
the University took place at the
deans' meeting yesterday but no def-
inite action was decided upon.
Meeting with President Ruthven,
the deans of all the schools and col-
leges brought forward numerous
plans ahd programs which they had
obtained at national conventions
during the vacation.
The best of these will be taken
back to the faculty members for dis-
cussion and will be acted upon at a
second deans meeting next week.
They will then refer their conclusions
to the Board of Regents, which has
a meeting scheduled for January 30.
Dr. Ruthven was authorized yes-
terday to tie the various loose ends
of the war program on the campus.
First Aid Stations
Will le Installed
By StateDruggists
LANSING, Jan. 7.-(A')-A cam-
paign by the State Board of Phar-
'macy to install first aid service in
2,400 Michigan drug stores as a
civilian protection measure was
launched here today.
Letters were mailed by L. A. Wikel,
Ann Arbor, recently-appointed State
Director of Drugs and Drug Stores,
to all drug store proprietors asking
their cooperation in the program.
Upon receipt of favorable replies,
Wikel said, district inspectors will
check facilities offered by the stores
and official emblems of qualification
will be issued.
Each participating store must pro-
vide a folding army cot, usual first
aid medicines and supplies, telephone
numbers of three physicians avail-
able' night and day, a "work" space
six by 12 feet, flash light or other

emergency lighting device and a
"smattering, at least, of first aid,
training," the director said.
Wikel said the Red Cross has
agreed to give druggists a 10-week
course in first aid training, added,
however, that "most all licensed
druggists have some first aid know-
ledge-at least as much as the aver-
age nurse."
Greater War Output
Goal Of Auto Pants
DETROIT, Jan. 7.-(/P)-Measured
in dollar volume, the 1942 output of
the nation's motor car industry on a
100 per cent war production basis
should equal, if not exceed, the 1941
aggregate for both civilian and mili-
tary activities.
The extent to which $5,000,000,000
in new war orders ear-marked for
the industry this year, plus a size-
able carry-over from 1941, will top
last year's total, will depend upon
the speed with which the remaining
production capacity can be con-
verted to the war implements pro-
gram. This is a subject developing
wide divergence of opinion among
the car manufacturers and Union
labor representatives.
The industry last year produced
4,820,000 passenger cars and trucks
with an aggregate wholesale value
of $3,630,000,000; it delivered also

"1Short-Changed
Lost bicycles will have their day
of reckoning at last.
Chief of Police Sherman Morten-
son announced esterday that all
bicycles which have "accumulated"
down at police headquarters over a
period of six months will be sold at
auction on Jan. 10 "in our backyard,"
"They've got to go." he said.
University students who have an
attachment for bikes might do well
to go down and have a look. There's
a chance they may run across a bike
stolen from them before the other
guy buys it cheap.

Give a kid a BB gun-and duck.
Richard Miller was playing in the
backyard of his house on Revena
Blvd. with his two buddies, Max and
Ralph. They were taking turns
shooting a BB gun.
When Richard's turn came to
shoot, a neighbor lady chanced to
pass by. On a dare from Max, he
took a quick shot at her and missed.
The terrified lady called the police.
Richard Miller will be careful to
shoot only at tin cans in the future.

Miss Kosak, who lives on E. Huron
St., reads the papers and is a ch'ange-
counter.
Yesterday she was shopping at a
downtown drug store. After she had
made her purchase she stopped on
the street to count her change-and
discovered she was a dollar short.
Reading the papers had made her
"penny-wise" against being short-
changed. She rushed back into the
drug store and the manager was
called.
When he had listened to her com-
plaint, the manager took all the cash
out of the.register and checked with
the sales receipts for the day. It took
him some time, but Miss Kosak
waited.
The nioney in the register checked
with the sales receipts.
Miss Kosak admitted later she
might have been mistaken.
And They Call
It ABudet...
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-(P)-Here
are listed in round figures the billions
this country proposes to spend dur-
ing the fiscal year beginning next
July-the biggest budget in the his-
tory of the world:
Fifty-six billions for war, includ-
ing two or three billions from non-
budgetary government agencies such
as the RFC.
Four and one-fourth billions for
normal government costs, relief, farm
aid. etc.
One and three-fourths 'billions for
interest on the public debt.
And herer is the method of pay-
ment:
Sixteen and one-half billions from
existing tax laws.
Seven billions in new general taxes.
Two billions in new Social Security
taxes.
Thirty-five billions from treasury
borrowing, plus additional borrowing
by Government non-budgetary agen-

cies.
All of which means that:
Spending will jump from the pres-
ent two to five billions a month.
The World War spending peak-
18 and one-half billions--will be
passed this year and almost tripled
during the next fiscal year.
The public debt, after borrowing,
will be 110 billions.
And finally:
All these items comprise what
Americans already are calling a "Vic-
tory Budget."
Roosevelt's Message
Is Ridiculed By Nazis
BERLIN, Jan. 7.--(Andi Agency to
AP)- German sources commenting
on President Roosevelt's message to
Congress said today the 'offensive
plans of the United States were mere
"desirous dreams."
These sources ridiculed the asser-
tion the Nazis are aiming at world
domination, and said that on the
contrary events in Canada and Aus-
tralia are proving that President
Roosevelt wants to lose no time in-
heriting the British Empire.
President Roosevelt, these German
spokesmen said, desires "to rule as
God's own representative on earth."
A German radio commentator said
President Roosevelt added "nothing
or little new to what he has said in
earlier and numerous speeches."

Governor Calls
Extra Session
Of Legislature
Problems Of Emergency
Will Be Consideratioi
Of SpecialAssembly
Hope For Harmony
LANSING, Jan. 7.-R)-Governor
Van Wagoner tonight issued a formal
order calling the Legislature into spe-
cial session Jan. 19 to deal with prob-
lems presented by the war.
The Governor in the text of the
call gave no clue to the issues he
would present, and said he would not
disclose them "until the time comes."
He said that might be the day he
presents to the lawmakers his special
message outlining the matters he
wants considered. The Legislature
in special session is limited by the
Constitution to consideration of busi-
ness requested by the Governor..
Although Van Wagoner declined to
go farther than a statement that the
Legislature's work probably would be
"confined to this war emergency,"
rumor in the capitol says he may
ask for $5,000,000 to be expended by
the State Administrative Board as
war needs arise.
To Discuss Finance
Usually informed quarters said
these are subjects whi'h probably will
come before the Legislature for spe-
cific consideration:
Provision of funds for a stepped-up
Selective Service schedule and the
new draft registration.
Financing recruiting; training and
equipping of air raid wardens, aux-
iliary police and firemen.
Establishing rationing- systems for
tires, automobiles and possibly other
items as directed by the federal gov-
ernment.
Grants for wives and widows of
soldiers.
Emergency needs of the state pol-
ice, and expansion of its radio facil-
ities.
Proposals to double state troops
manpower and equip them.
Governor Not Decided
It was understood the Governor
himself has not yet decided what
course to pursue on proposed liberal-
ization of the Michigan Unemploy-
ment Compensation Law. It has not
yct been determined, it was said,
whether state action would be re-~
quired in event the federal govern-
ment decided to take over that pro
gram, which provides funds for the
support of the unemployed.
The State Unemployment Corn -
pensation Commission recommended,
before the subject of federalization
was raised, that the grants be made
more liberal because of great unem-
ployment expected to result from the
conversion of factories into munitions
production units.
Van Wagoner made it clear in
statements at press conferences that
he would bend every effort to make
the Legislature's session harmonious
in sharp contrast to the bitter feud
between him and ,the Republican ma-
jority members at the regular 1941
session.
No Sparkplug
Ban Planned

Rii~uors Grouidless
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7--(')---Di-
rector Leon Henderson of the OPM's
Civilian Supply Division declared to-
day his office did not intend to stop
sale of batteries or sparkplugs for
automobiles and trucks, despite a

"flood of groundless rumors."
Henderson said reports had spread
throughout the country that the di-
vision was preparing to prohibit such
sales and that a rationing program
would be worked out to cover spark
plugs and batteries.
"There is no intention of inter-
fering with the free sale of batteries
or sparkplugs for replacement pur-
poses for passenger cars and trucks,"
Henderson asserted.

Valtin, Anti-Nazi
Author, To Give
Talk InDetroit
Jan Valtin, former Communist
secret.agent and author of the best-
seller expose of the German Ges-
tapo, "Out of the Night," will make
his first lecture appearance in this
region tomorrow at the Masonic Tem-
ple in Detroit.
Sponsored by the Service Clubs
Council of Greater Detroit, the lec-
ture will be entitled "My Out of the
Night"-the story of his experience
since his escape from Nazi barbarism.
In order to facilitate attendance
by students of the University, tickets
are now available at the Union and
League.
Born Richard J. Krebs in Mainz,
Germany, Valtin traveled over the
globe for 10 years as a Communist
agent, having joined the party dur-
ing the period of disillusionment
that swept his country during the
shaky years after the first World
War.
Part of this period, described so
vividly in his book, was spent in
prison under the guard of the Ger-
man secret police. Later he re-
nounced his Communistic affiliations
and fled to America, where he now
lives on a Connecticut farm with his
American wife and American-born
son.
At present Valtin is working on a
"non-political" sequel to "Out of the
Night." His literary training had its
beginnings, he believes, in an exten-
sion course he took from the Univer-
sity of California while serving a

Vacation Spotlight Focuses
On Members Of Faculty

Chemists Gater Here
In Biennial Syrnposi nt
Four hundred eighty-three of the
,ountry's most prominent researchers
in organic chemistry met for three
days during Christmas vacation in
the Rackham Building in the ninth
biennial National Organic Chemistry
Symposium of the American Chem-
ical Society.
The convention featured talks giv-
en by organic chemists from all over
the country: from two industrial
concerns and several universities.
Honorary chairman of the sympo-
sium was Dr. Moses Gomberg, Pro-
fessor Emeritus of organic chemistry.1
Prof. Werner E. Bachman of the
chemistry department gave the first
lecture of the meeting on "Syntheses
in the Field of Sex Hormones."
Highlight of the convention was
the symposium banquet held Decem-
ber 30. Dr. Gomberg was the chief
speaker at the dinner. Following the
banquet, an exhibit of displays pre-
sented by various industrial com-
panies in the Chemistry Building
was opened to those present at the
convention.
Haber Talks In New York
On Employment Security
"Proposals for the revision and re-
organization of the present system
of employment security-must now
be examined in relation to the re-
quirements imposed by a war econ-
omy and the subsequent adjustments
of the post-war period."
Prof. William Haber of the eco-
nomics department presented this
argument in his address before thej
joint session of the American Eco-
nomic Association and the Americanj
Association for Labor Legislation atI
their meeting December 27 in New
York.
Professor Haber proposed putting
the organization of the labor market
on a national basis because the strin-
gency of labor during the war period
makes such a plan imperative. He
pointed out that the post-war period
will also call for national labor mar-
ket policies.
In addition, Professor Haber said
that it is now evident that the finan-
cial basis of state unemployment
compensation laws are inadequate to
meet the problems of a post-war de-
pression. He suggested that for these
reasons, the present unemployment
insurance system should be converted
into a national plan with a pooling
of the insurance funds of all the
states. ,
Proposed alternate plans of com-
bined federal-state systems or gov-
ernment support for the present

state systems would be inadequate
Professor Haber said.
Anthropelogist Attends
atoIlal Convention
Dr. Leslie A. White, acting chair-
man of the department of anthro-
pology, attended during the third'
week of December the regular an-
nual meeting of the American An-
thropological Society, held in Ando-
ver, Mass.
The organization heard lectures
delivered by members from several
states. Dr. White was reelected sec-
ond vice-president of the American
Folklore Society, a branch of the
anthropological organization.
(ernwn Depart ment Is

The National Convention of the
Modern Language Association, held

Ex-Mayor Of Detroit
Sentenced To Prison
DETROIT, Jan. 7.--(T)-A four-
to-five year prison term was the
penalty assessed today against for-
mer mayor Richard W. Reading, who
was convicted of accepting thousands
of dollars to protect a Detroit num-
bers and policy racket whose opera-
tions were said to involve $10,000,000
a year.
Before Judge Earl \C. Pugsley of
Hart pronounced sentence in Circuit
Court, the former Detroit executive
said:
"A jury has said I am guilty, but
I am not guilty. I never in any way
conspired to accept any money or to
protect any racket. In the future this
will be shown."
"I wish I could accept your story,"
Judge Pugsley replied. "But the
proofs are conclusive. As mayor you
were responsible for good govern-
ment. You violated a public trust
and became part and parcel of a
scheme of corruption."
Attorneys for Reading arranged for
his release on bond pending appeal.
Emmons To Give Course
Prof. Walter J. Emmons of the
transportation engineering depart-
ment will open another in the series
