But you could never convince Vir- ginia's Cavaliers of that tonight. Sophomore right fielder Paul White, who doubles on the gridiron as regular wingback, blasted two mighty home runs far beyond the spacious confines of Lambert Field on the first two pitches tossed at him, while Mickey Fishman, a soph- omore in athletic standing, debuted into collegiate baseball with a fine four-hit hurling performance and a 9-3 victory over Virginia here today. The win was the second in a row for the rambling Wolverines and Vir- ginia's second loss in six starts. Michigan closes its southern jaunt against Georgetown tomorrow with Irv Boim slated to make his second start. Today's showing served as a sooth- ing antidote for Coach Ray Fisher's headaches over the loss of last year's ace players, Dick Wakefield and Cliff Wise, who failed to return to school, White gave a performance equally impressive with anything Wakefield ever did last year. Leading off the second frame, the Whizzer startled the largest Cavalier crowd of the season by eatching Scuffy Scafuro's first pitch and lofting it far beyond Turn to Page 3, Col. 2 Strong Net Squads Will Tangle Today By DICK SIMON Two of the strongest tennis teams in the Midwest, Michigan and Notre Dame, will lock racquets on the Ferry Field courts at 2 p.m. today.

Post-War Conference To Hold Final Panels Yesterday... Immediate action in form of funda- mental"social change and a more dy- namic fight against fascism wherev- er it exists was emphasized yester- day by Prof. J. Donald Kingsley of Antioch and Dr. Francis McMa- hon of Notre Dame as the only basis upon which a just and durable peace can be established. Following an introductoryaddress by President Ruthven before more than 500 students and townspeople at the Michigan Post-War Confer- ence, Professor Kingsley pointed out that "there can be no difference be- tween war aims, peace aims and win- ning the war. And to win the war we must base our strategy upon rev- olution-counter revolution to destroy nationalistic fascism." Must Push Forward "We can do this," he said, "only if we push forward with radical social changes during the war. Total war demands total participation of the whole population and only when peo- ple see a vision of a better world will they make an effort. We must in- spire our own people and the con- uered people of Europe with this vi- sion. They do not want the status quo." Also emphasizing this point, Dr. McMahon declared that the world as it is now caused the war and "unless we have lost our senses we shall not wage war to preserve the status quo, but rather to build a new and better world order based on justice and charity." Positive Ideal He continued that if America is to fight with the same strength and the zeal of the enemy, we must have a positive ideal. "That ideal," he said, "lies all about us-it is the fight for freedom. Not only freedom from the external men- ace of the enemy, but freedom from ignorance,. freedom from intellectual dishonesty, freedom from poverty, freedom from racial discrimination and from intolerance." "We must dedicate ourselves to the common good of all humanity," Mc- Mahon declared, "and America must take the lead." Turn to Page 2, Col. I Red Cross Blood Drive Brings In 119 Donors As the result of a week-long cam- pus drive, 119 volunteers came to the Women's Athletic Building yesterday afternoon to donate one pint of blood each to a growing Red Cross plasma Today... Student ideas and student discus- sion will predominate the second half of the two-day Post-War Conference scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. today in the Union. Divided into three individual ses- sions, the following questions are to be considered: 1. Can we establish world-wide ec- onomic democracy? 2. Can international politics be or- ganized to safeguard the peace of the future? 3. Can we overcome social and psy- chological insecurity? Each of the panels is to be pre- sided over by a qualified graduate student in the corresponding field of study. Faculty men will also be pres- ent in the capacity of advisers and experts. Donald Knight and Daniel Suits, graduate students, are scheduled to direct the discussion on economic democracy. They will be assisted by Prof. Arthur Smithies of the eco- nomics department. The second panel will be led by a man-E. W. Mill, Grad.-who has spent the past year attending nation- al and international conferences on the war and on naval strategy. An- other graduate student, Albert Felke, will help him and Profs. Jan Hostie, Lawrence Preuss and William Cargo of the political science department will be the advisers. Three. students-Paul Lim-Yuen, Nelson Palmer and Raoul Weissman -will cooperate in the diecton of the panel on social and psychological insecurity. Faculty men are to be Dr. John Shepard of the psychology department and Amos Hawley of the1 sociology department. It is planned to have secretaries at each section to record the various ideas "which are introduced and an attempt will be made to discover from these notes the major trends of cam- pus thought. RAF Bombers Pound German Industrial Area LONDON, April 17. -(UP)- Adding weight and distance to its massive daylight offensive, the RAF hurled 600 planes against German targets today in day-long raids extending from the continental coast to Augs- burg, in southern Germany. The assaults were by far the heavi- est of the war by British airmen, topping yesterday's farflung, 400- plane attack, which had been the big- gest to date. Emphasizing the enormity of the aerial offensive was a 'daylight at- tack upon Augsburg, which involved a rourdtrip of at least 1,000 miles right over the heart of industrial Germany. Augsburg, a few miles northwest of Munich, is the site of a Messerschmitt plane factory, but an informed source said this establishment was not the target of today's raiders. This cen- ter was the target of night raids twice in August, 1940, but had not been mentioned in British air communi- clUes since then. Stimsoh Says Army Shortly Will Be Ready For Of fensive Grim Bataant Defenders, Totaling 65,000 Men, Fall Into Enemy Hands After Fierce Struggle Philipine'..Soldiers' Courage Is Praised NEW DELHI, India, April 17.-(P) -British sappers burned and blasted 6,000 West Burma oil wells today while a gallant battalion of the King's own Yorkshire light infantry fought yet another superb delaying action against the Japanese until the wells were ablaze. Then the vastly outnumbered Yorkshiremen withdraw and rejoined the main British Imperial Forces af- ter inflicting severe casualties. A communique placed the positions "north of Magwe," indicating the fighting men were even now amid the ruined wells. Magwe is the south- ern gateway to the field centering around Yenangyaung, 20 miles north. Yorkshire Forces Commended The British communique said the Yorkshire force "distinguished itself in this gallant action with great de- termination and bravery and suffered very little loss." It was the sort of action that has won this handful of men two pre- vious citations for gallantry against great odds in two months of deadly jungle fighting. Destruction of the Yenangyaung wells cuts off an important source of oil for China. Burma's oil production in 1941 was 7,700,000 barrels, compared with United States production of 1,400,000 barrels and world production of 2,- 216,235,000 but its proximity to the battlefields made it important. Situation Is 'Grave' The British acknowledged that the situation was grave, with their forces depleted by two months of hard fighting, and the Japanese newly re- inforced to a total of about 75,000 men. British forces in the Taungdwingyi area further east still were protecting the right flank of the Chinese Expe- ditionary Force. The Chinese High Command com- munique, covering developments up to Wednesday, said the Chinese, un- der U.S. Lieut.-Gen. Joseph W. Stil- well, had inflicted more than 1,000 casualties on the Japanese in in- creasingly heavy fighting on the Sit- tang front, roughly 30 miles north of Toungoo Philippine Soldiers' Courage Praised WASHINGTON, April 17. -(UP'- The War Department reported today that when the defenses of Bataan in Philippinestcollapsedsafter months of grim fighting by weary and ill-fed troops, more than 65,000 soldiers and civilians fell into the hands of the swarming hordes of Japanese. Ten generals of the United States Army and six generals of the Philip- pine Army were among the troops- Philippine scouts and other regular Army units, national guardsmen, air corps troops, supply forces, engineers, medical troops and signal men "now presumably in the hands of the en- emy." On April 9, the day the defending lines finally broke under the cease- less hammering of greatly superior forces, a department communique said there were 35,000 combat troops,I about 25,000 civilians and 5,536 sick and wounded in Bataan, as well as" numbers of non-combatant units. The Army nurses who had been in Ba- taan and a relatively small number of troops were evacuated to Corregi- dor, Issuing the communique at his press conference, Secretary of War Stimson praised the bravery of the Filipino soldiers and civilians and announced that in recognition of their loyalty the regular army air forces would enlist Filipino youths as aviation cadets, the only exception to the regulation that aviation cadets must be United States citizens. Fili- v i Registration Of Students Will Commence 'today In Ann Arbor Armory Dr. Russell C. Hussey, an associate professor in the geology department, was named coordinator of the Uni- versity's V-1 program yesterday and an hour after his appointment an- nounced that eligible freshmen and sophomores may enroll in the Navy's V-1 Officer Training Program be- ginning today.. Coordinator Hussey will maintain a counselors office at 108 Mason Hall, but will not relinquish his teaching duties. Preliminary V-1 registration will take place at the Ann Arbor armory, Fourth and Ann streets. "The student who elects the V-1 plan," Hussey said, "actually joins the Navy, and he is then deferred for a period of two or four years. It should be made perfectly clear that the person who chooses this program and then remains in college is not avoiding military service but is doing precisely what the Navy wishes him to do. College As Usual "Students who enlist in V-1 will continue their college career as usual, but will be required to take and pass beginning courses in mathematics and physics." After the completion of approxi- mately one and one-half years of college work, V-1 candidates will be given a thorough examination cov- ering math, physics and English. The test will be graded on a nation-wide basis. Those who rank sufficiently high in the examination will have their choice of two courses-each leading Russians Capture German Positions In Demidov Area LONDON, April 17.-(iP)-The Red Army was driving ahead against fierce German resistance tonight and capturing "one great fortress after another" in the area of Demidov, 40 miles northwest of Smolensk, the Moscow radio reported. Stockholm dispatches said ad- vanced Russian units had reached the approaches of Smolensk itself and that the Germans were fortify- ing every house of that already strongly-buttressed city. There was no information to indi- cate whether the Russians were threatening Smolensk with sufficient force to attempt an assault directly upon that key point, but Stockholm dispatches said raiding columns in White Rusia, west of the city, were handicapping German efforts to rush up reinforcements. This agreed with the Russian re- port of assaults around Demidov, strengthening an impression that the Russians might be starting an encir- clement maneuver. Heavy fighting also was reported between lakes Ilmen, Ladoga and On- ega, as the Russians sought to erase the menace to Leningrad before the thaws convert roads into bogs and+ streams into torrents.I to an officer's commission. They may enlist in V-5 (naval aviation) which will place them in active duty im- mediately. As an alternative they may enlist in V-7 (deck engineering) which will enable the candidates to remain in school until they receive their diploma. How To Enlist If you are a freshman or sopho- more between the ages of 17 and 19, a citizen of the United States and unmarried, here's how you can get into V-i: Secure a note from the Registrar's Office, Room 4, University Hall, cer- tifying that you are enrolled in the University. Go to the Ann Arbor armory for a preliminary, examination. If you aremfound eligible you will go to the Health Service for a physi- cal. After you pass the Health Service physical you will go to Detroit with a group at the Government's expense for a final examination at the Naval Armory. Secure parents' consent papers. If the Naval examining board ac- cepts you, you will be sworn in at the Detroit Armory as an apprentice seaman in the United States Naval Reserve.

All students-whether male or female, grad or freshman-are eli- gible' to run for senate office, Reorganized recently from top to bottom, the senate is the only stu- dent governing body here that rep- resents the entire campus. In its new form it will be composed of nine policy making members along with an administrative staff to carry out legislation. The previous senate, target for criticism from varied quarters, con- sisted of 30 members who were bur- dened with committee functions to such an extent that both their legis- lative and administrative work suf- fered. The new Senate will also be free from the "proxy" system which oc- casionally resulted in one senator casting five votes for absent mem- bers. Hussey Appointud Coordinator Of University's V-1 Program Allies' Planes Attack Capital In Initial Raid On Nipponese Ambassador Is Recalled From French Capital By President Roosevelt After Laval's Return Leahy Summoned 'For Consultation SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-()- The Tokyo radio announced tonight that "enemy bombers" attacked Tok- yo, the CBS .listening station re- ported. The Tokyo broadcast said: "n- emy bombers appeared over Tokyo for the first time in the current war, inflicting damage on schools and hos- pitals. The raid occurred shortly past noon on Saturday (Tokyo time.) "Invading planes failed to cause any damage on military establish- ments, although casualties in the schools and hospitals were as yet un- known. "This inhuman attack on these cul- tural establishments and on residen- tial districts is causing widespread indignation among the populace." Meanwhile in Washington the War and Navy Departments had no confirmation immediately today on the Japanese announcement of bomb- ing of Tokyo. There was no indication of. when a communique might be issued. It was pointed out that if the bombing was a long distance attack, the air- craft would take many hours to re- turn to their starting point, and that reports would be unavailable until fhen. CBS said the first announcement of the bombing was in an English language broadcast. The announce- ment was repeated a few minutes later in a Japanese language broad- cast which injected a new angle that "the enemy planes di '-ot attempt to hit military establishments." The Japanese language broadcast said: "Just after noon on the 18th the first enemy planes appeared over the city of Tokyo. A number of bombs were, dropped. "The enemy planes did not attempt to hit military establishments, and only inflicted damage on grammar schools, hospitals and cultural estab- lishments "These planes were repulsed by a heavy barrage from our defeise guns. "The previous training of the T*k- yo populace for air raid defense was put into immediate practice. I wish to reveal that our losses were exceed- ingly light." The capital has undergone air alerts when sighting its own planes because of this uneasiness and ge- eral expectation of attack. The peo- ple have been repeatedly warned to expect bombings. On March 4 when Marcus was attacked the Japanese announcer warned the people Tokyo might be next. Leahy Summoned 'For Consultation' WASHINGTON, April 17. -QP)- President Roosevelt today recalled Ambassador William D. Leahy from Vichy "for consultation" under cir- qumstances indicating that his coun- try has no intention of attempting to maintain normal relations with a collaborationist regime dominated by Pierre Laval. By way of emphasizing this Amer- ican rejection of Laval, acting Sec- retary of State Sumner Welles let it be known that this government views the new Vichy regime as a pup- pet government capable of sending puppet communications previously score a victory over them last season bank. when the Maize and Blue netters won Surrounded by Red Cross nurses in 17 of their dual meet matches.

DETROIT, April 17.--(P)-Two of the three men indicted for alleged seditious conspiracy in connection with the Sojourner Truth housing project were arraigned late today in Federal Court. Parker Sarge, treasurer of the Na- tional Workers' League, and Garland L. Alderman, of Pontiac, secretary of the organization, were arraigned before Judge Frank A. Picard. The indictments, returned by a Federal grand jury yesterday, stem- med from the Feb. 28 riot here when Negroes sought unsuccessfully to move into a defense housing project which had been designated for Ne- gro occupancy by the Federal Gv- ernment. The Federal Government this week re-affirmed that Negro families must be installed in the dwelling and Police Cnmmiiner Frank D.n amansaid Union Help Agree To Mediate Demand For Increased Wages Social Justice' To Be Probed; Radio Priest May Be Witness By ROBERT PILEISKEL Representatives of the Michigan Union student help-bent on secur- ing a ten cent an hour wage increase -got together with Frank Kuenzel of the Union and Prof. Carl G. Brandt of the speech depar'tment for more than two hours last night, and postponed all plans for immediate en- forcements of their demands by put- ting the matter before a special com- mittee. Charged with investigating the workers claims to such an increase and determining the result of the proposed raise on Union food prices, the committee, tentatively composed of Prof. Brandt, Prof. John Riegel, of the school of business adminis- wage scales will be made retroactive to April 16, Mr. Kuenzel and the student rep- resentatives agreed to this, and Pro- fessor Brandt gave his seal of appro- val to the entire proceedings as an authorized representative of the Uni- versity. Basing their demands for pay in- creases on the fact that Union food prices have risen since last Septem- ber while wage rates have remained at 40 cents an hour, the Union work- ers said that they are now being forced to work more hours for their board than they had expected to in taking their :jobs. Recent bonuses of five cents an WASHINGTON, April 17. -()- A Federal Grand Jury will begin here next week an exhaustive investiga- tion of the weekly magazine Social Justice, with a prospect that its founder, the Rev. Charles E. Cough- lin, will be a principal witness, At- torney General Biddle disclosed to- day. Speaking at a press conference, in which he said that the paper's lan- guage was "clearly seditious," the Attorney General declared that the object of the ,Justice Department's presentation would be indictment un- der what is known as the sedition law of "all those responsible" for the magazine, Asked at the start of the confer- ence whether he proposed to follow the evidence of the seditious content of Social Justice before that grand jury. We intend to present evidence of responsibility as to who published and who wrote it, and also evidence of any tie-up with the Axis." With respect to the latter, Biddle called attention to his letter to the Postmaster General on Tuesday in which he refeired to the "parallelism" between matter printed in Social Justice and propaganda broadcast by enemy countries. After the postoffice action had been announced, Father Coughlin said at Detroit that he would chal- lenge the Attorney General to give him an opportunity to defend Social Justice.
