A BRITISH PORT, Oct. 2-(P)-
This port on the southeast coast of
England and its couptterpart some-
where on the French coast of the
English Channel will get' a glimpse
of peace this week-end when Britain
and Germany call off their war tem-
porarily in a restricted zone and ex-
change 1,500 prisoners each.
It will be the first British-German 1
exchange of the war.
The 3,000 prisoners who had not
expected to see their homelands until
the end of hostilities will cross the
channel in two British hospital ships
under a safe passage agreement pro-
viding withdrawal of warplanes and
warships from the zone.
The British prisoners are coming
into France from Germany by way
of Switzerland, which agreed to act
as a transport intermediary.

MOSCOW, Oct. 2.-German troops

their trenches on the Leningrad ap-
proaches in broadtRussian counter-
offensive action and above the city
Red marines have lanGei and en-
trenched themselves in bitterly-con-
tested positions, military dispatches
reported tonight.
Russian guns, it was added, si-
lenced German long-range batteries
which had been shelling one of Len-
ingrad's districts.
So'ath of the city, in the region of
Staraya Russa, the official govern-
ment organ Izvestia announced four
settlements and a hilltop had been
recaptured by Soviet forces and four
German companies had been routed
in a single action.
The Germans, said front-line re-
ports, are rushing up reinforcements
in an effort to stem general Red
cointer-attacks which already have
greatly improved the Russian posi-
tion all about the city.
(The British wireless reported also
the Russians had retaken Strelna, 20
miles west of Leningrad, and that 20
miles to the east of the city the Nazis
had been thrown back to a depth of
nearly 30 riles from Kolpino east-
ward to Lake Ladoga.)

Students Asked
- Not To Shred
Display Cards
Destruction Of Cardboard
After Game Will Mean
End Of Colorful Shows
Two thousand Michigan students
will, be seated in the card display
sections at tomorrow's tilt with Iowa
and if they rip the Maise and Blue
pasteboards into little shreds like
they've always done before at the
game's end-well, then that's just the
end.
It'll be the end of all card displays
for the season and probably "the dur-
ation of the emergency,"' as the say-
ing goes.
Defense priorities in the paper in-
dustry have made the cost of the
reams of colered cardboard too dear
for the Michigan Union's pocketbook,
so Jim Edmunds, '43, who is running
the thing says.
'Complicated markings and direc-
tions have been stapled on the 2,000
seats in sections 25, 26, and 27 telling
you just which way to hold your card
to spell out "'M" or "Iowa" or what-
ever the cheerleader tells you to do.
According to- Edmunds who has
been directing a crew of sophomores
in putting the 25,000 markings on the
pasteboards, tomorrow's show will be
the biggest ever.
The eight-display show will climax
in a Maize and Blue "V" for victory
enclosing an "M" for Michigan with
the Morse version of "V"-three dots
and a dash-thrown in.
So just in case they don't shred the'
cards when the going gets tough to-
morrow, and you want to do it next
week at the Pitt game, drop around
to the Natural Science Auditorium, at
5 p.m. next Wednesday and receive
your reserved seat tickets for the
card display.

Fierce Air Attack
(By The Associated Press)
BERLIN, Oct. 2.-The Russian
southern armies, their backs to the
Black and Azov Seas, were under
violent and general German aerial
4attack tonight, said military dispat-
ches from the front, and the Nazi
lani offensive pressed on east on
the Dnieper River.
Red forces in one area were de-
clared, however, to have made a1
powerful counter-attack across the
lower Dnieper, but it was added that
the Hungarians holding the line there
had broken Russian efforts to form,
a bridgehead. '
Because of the secrecy maintained
by the German High Command it was
impossible to tell precisely where the
lines lay in the south, but on the
basis of available reports it appeared
the Germans and their allied stood
considerable distances east 'of the
Dnieper in some areas, while in others
the Russians still were close to that
river.
'Tihe air force and artillery, said
reports from the northern front,
dominated the siege for Leningrad.
Smoke hung heavy over the city, it'
was added, from fires set off by Ger-
man shells. Nazi long-range guns
also bombarded the naval bases of
Kronstadt and Oranienbaum to the
west.

Will Celebrate
Double 10 Day
"Double Ten Day", the 30th anni-

be celebrated by ,University Chinese
students with the first formal dance
of the school year from 9 to 1 p.m.
on Friday, Oct. 10; in the ballroom
of the League.
Proceeds from the annual affair
will be donated to the United China
Relief Drive. The theme of the an-
niversary celebration will stress the
closer political and cultural rela-
tions between United States and
China as the Sino-Japanese war en-
ters its fifth year. ,
The Chinese national holiday re-
ceived the name of "Double Ten
Day" because it comes on the tenth
day of the tenth month. Decora-
tions around the ballroom will be
built on the "Double Ten" idea.

University Offers Course'
In Codes, Construction
Of Radio Plane Devices
A War Department plan for radio-
beam detectors along the entire coast
of the United States may require as
many as 300,000 skilled op rktors-
and the University is equipped to aid
in their training.
According to Prof. Louis Hopkins,'
University defense head, Electrical'
Engineering 23a and 23b will enable
a student to pass a government radio
license examination with excellent
chance of placement in this new serv-
ice.,
Offered under the recently-initiat-
ed defense training program, this
training includes code practice and
actual construction of receivers and
transmitters. Since these courses
stress the practical and fundament-
al side of radio communication, a
year of physics is the only prere-
quisite.
The new detecting devices, al-
though not yet in production, have
already caused Washington to issue,
a call for 500 volunteer technicians.
Operators will be drawn from both
army and civilian sources' with
a second lieutenant's commission
awarded to those chosen.
While the government has not yet
indicated the nature of the proposed
detector, Signal Corps sources have
stated it resembles similar British de-
vices in ' its basic principle. This
would mean a beam of radio waves
sent seaward, and reflected back to
the transmitting staticn if an air-
plane is struck.
The detector device, the War De-
partment claims, was developed by
Signal Corps radio engineers at Fort
Monmouth, N.J., over a period of six
years.
3-2 Win Squares World
Series At One Game;-
Pitcher Chandler Chased
Action To Resume
in Brooklyn Today
YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Oct. 2-()-Brooklyn's battlig, al-
ways courageous Dodgers fought
their way from behind today to a 3
to 2 triumph over the New York
Yankees and levelled the World Se-
ries before another tremendous turn-
out of 66,248 fans.
John Whitlow Wyatt, tall and bald,
this year's standout among all the
National League's pitchers, turned
the trick for the Dodgers.
The 32-year-old Georgia right-
hander was pelted for nine hits by
the Yankees, seven of them in the
first four innings, but he seemed to
get better as he went along and he
never let the Yanks get wound up.
Never Loses Poise ,
He was marvelous with men on
bases and even though the Yanks
managed to get at least two runners
on the bags in six different innings,
Wyatt never lost his poise.
A double by Tom Henrich was tie
only extra base blow he permit
and after the fourth inning he kept
the bombers virtually smothered. Al-
together he caused the American
League champs to leave 10 runners.:
stranded.
The Yanks got to him for single
runs in the second and third innings
and made the spectators start think-
ing the duel was to be a second show-
ing of yesterday's opener which New
York won by the same score 3 to 2.
But it was another Georgia boy,
Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler, who
cracked first.
Chandler Chased In Sixth
The Dodgers, who were held to six
hits during the game, broke their
bonds for two runs on a pair of walks
and two hits in the fifth inning to
tie the score and then punched over
the winning run and chased Chandler
from the box in the sixth.
For four innings Chandler was
masterful, fanning two men inthe
first inning and facing only the m-in
imm 12 batters. When Joe Med-
wick singled in the second he was
immediately erased by the first of
three Yankee double plays.
Then Chandler gave his first pass
to the first Dodger, up in the fifth
inhing, Dolph Camilli, who had fan-
ned three straight times yesterday
and hadn't been on base previously
during the series.
Medwick followed immediately
with a hard double that bounded
against the low wall in left field,
sending Camilli to third and Cookie
Lavagetto waited out another walk
to load the bases.
Reese Scores Camillia
Peewee Reese smashed a hot
grounder to shortstop Phil Rizz±to;
who threw to Joe Gordon in time
to forge Lavagetto, but Camilli scored
and Reese was safe at first as Gor-
don's hurried relay bounced from the
ground into John Strum's glove and
out again. Then Mickey Owen
punched a ground single into left
field for another run.
A fast double play on Wyatt pulled'
Chandler out of this jam, but in the
sixth inning Gordon made a bad
throw on Dixie Walker's grounder,
Billy Herman singleq him to third to
rout Chandler, and after ,Johnny
Murphy 'had fanned P'ete' Reiser,-
Camilli looped a single into right
field for the winning run.-
Thus ended the domination of the
Yankees in World Series play. They
.had not been beaten in the autumn
classic since October, 9, 1937, when
the New York Giants captured theirF
only gaine of that series. Since then

A Sure 'Anxiety Easer':
Chemotherapy To Make Army
Safe For Draftees, Long Says
American Industry Can Win:
General Motors Head Reveals-
Defens Problems Of Industry
By MORTON MINTZ
Easing one anxiety of potential
draftees, Dr. Perrin H. Long, famed
research pioneer in chemotherapy said
yesterday that the death toll of dis-
ease in Army camps will "not even
be high enough to cause parents to
worry."
Dr. Long claimed that complica-
tions of measles, influenza and other
afflictions-which in the last war
killed more U.S. soldiers than ;did
actual fighting-can now be suc-
cessfully 'treated with drugs of the
sulfanilimide family, making the
outbreak of fatal epidemics highly
improbable..
Dr. Long, who 'is attending the
second triennial reunion of 4,000
medical alumni of the University,
cited cases of camp -hospitals which
have been filled with thousands of
thus curbing the spread of the af-
fliction."
Dr. Long described the action of
the latest member of the sulfaniti-
mide family-sulfadiazine-by say-
ing that with minimum toxic re-
actions it can be administered to
cure -90 per cent of the victims of
gonorrhea in two weeks time.
He said that sulfadiazine which
only went on sale in drug stores
Aug. 8, is at present the most effect-
ive of the family and is already sup-
planting the other members.
"But even these have an outstand-
ing record," he asserted. "Serious
streptococcus ' infections are now
rare because of early treatment with
such drugs as sulfanilimide, sulpha-
pyridine and sulphathiazole. With
their use," he maintained, "the

By BILL BAKER
The chief hurdle in national de-
fense production has been the prob-
lem of bridging the space between de-
fense orders and defense products on
hand, Ormand E. Hunt, '07E, vice-
president of General Motors declafed
last night.
Addressing the Medical Alumni
Reunion banquet, Mr. HHunt pointed
out two factors hampering industry
in meeting defense needs: the vast
difference between civilian products
and military products, and the con-:
tinual change in design of military
machines.
"Industry is making the necessary.
changes," he explained, "and it is
not our fault if orders were not
placed early enough."
In the aggressor nations industry
was geared to make the change from
civilian to military production. In
Germany one auto plant produced
trucks meeting military specifica-
tary needs, it is necessary to change
machinery, to bring together differ-
ent types of workmen, and to produce
a greater variety of articles.
As an example of public ignorance
of this fact, Mr. Hunt pointed out the
false but general belief that auto and
airplane engines are virtually the
same. ,
Actually the difference between the
two is great, making the process of
changing from auto to airplane
motor production a tremendous one,
he said.
Pointing out the difference, Mr.
Hunt explained that auto engines are
developed to secure the most econom-
ical type for the general public. Air-
plane engines, however, are developed
with an eye to getting the greatest
horsepower from the lowest possible
weight, regardless of expense. Auto
engines weigh six' pounds per horse-
power, while airplane engines weigh
less than a pound per horsepower.
