KAL AMAZOO, April 21. - Heavy-
hitting Bud Chamberlain socked a
home run with three teammates
aboard today to give the Wolverines
a much desired 5-3 win over a stub-
born Western Michigan nine.
For more than seven innings it
appeared as - though the Broncos
would take their fourth straight win
over the Varsity in the last two years,
but Curley Anderson, Western Mich-
igan hurler, made the mistake in the
eighth of filling the bases with Wol-
verine base runners when he only
had a 2-0 lead. He gave Chamberlain

diamond today. The game will

opposing them for Wayne. Stu-
dents will be admitted free upon
presentation of their identifica-
tion cards.
a fat one and Bud blasted a long
homer over the right fielder's head,
giving Michigan four runs and the
ball game.
The pitching at Haynes field this
afternoon was by far the best that
the Wolverines have displayed all
season long. Coach Ray Fisher used
Mickey Fishman, Bill Cain and Dick
Savage during the course of the
game.
Fishman turned in the top per-
formance by allowing one hit and no
earned runs in the three innings he
worked. Although Cain was tagged
for three hits in the four frames he
was on the mound, the bespectacled
sophomore had only one unearned
run scored off him.
The contest started out as a pitch-
ing battle with neither team scoring
until the fourth inning when the
Wolverines became generous and
handed the Broncos their first run
on two errors.
In that frame Bob Metzger, slug-
ging Western Michigan third base-

Patients Fed
B Volunteers
DuringStrike
By WILL SAPP
Nearly a thousand bedridden Uni-
versity Hospital patients were fed by
volunteer helpers, clerks and stenog-
raphers yesterday following' a walk-
out by a crew of kitchen workers
which temporarily hampered food
service in the world's eighth largest
hospital.
Dr. Harley Haynes, hospital direc-
tor, said that 19 of a group of ap-
proximately 35 kitchen maids struck
at 11:30 a.m. for a pay increase
which would boost their total hourly
rate to 50 cents per hour. The pres-
ent rate, he said, is 40 to 44 cents

per hour, depending upon the length
of employment.
A strike notice had been filed with
the hospital Monday and an eight
o'clock conference yesterday failed
to alleviate the tension.
In contrast to a strike of hospital
elevator operators last May, the
demons trators werenot discharged.
Dr. Haynes told the workers that
the hospital "was sympathetic with
the problem," but could not grant an
immediate pay raise without makingj

MADRID, April 21.-(A)-For-
cign Minister Ramon Serrano
Suner said today that Generalis-
simo Francisco Franco had de-
clared that if Germany were un-
able to hold "the tremendous Rus-
sian danger," Spain would afd the
Reich, "not with 15,000, but 1,000,-
000 men."
KUIBYSHEV, U.S.S.R., April 21.-
(P)-The Russians reported today
that Adolf Hitler's once bright hopes
for a spring offensive, by the ad- "
mission of his own Soviet-captured"
officers, have all but vanished under
the haunting fear of a British-Ameri-
can thrust in the west.
Soviet authorities said their own!
predictions that the threatened Nazi
offensive would come in the summer
instead of the spring-if it comes at;
all-had been borne out by state-
ments of a, Major Bittner, captive
German transport officer.
The Russians said this officer re-1
lated that the specter of double trou-
ble-war on two fronts-had seeped
into the German High Command it-!
self and that Nazi hopes of big spring7
operations were growing dim.
Prisoners seen by foreign corres-
pondents and information gathered'
by the Russians show that the main
force of the German army, whittled"
down by the Red Army's winter op-"
erations, now is made up of reserves'
who are family meti over 30 instead
of the youths originally thrown into"
the battle of Russia.
On the fighting fronts, meanwhile,
the Russians were reported attacking
Smolensk, center of German military
power, under cover of an artillery
bombardment with the Nazi defend-
ers floundering in swampy forest
areas.
The Moscow radio announced that
General Zhukov's troops approach-
ing Smolensk from the northeast re-
pulsed several fierce enemy counter-
attacks, killing 1,800 Germans in two
days. In one day five Soviet snipers
were credited with bagging 106 Nazis.

MacArthur Appoints Staff,
Formally Begins Duties
As Supreme Allied Chief
American Bombers
Will Join With RAF
(By The Associated Press)
Central and western Japan were
held under new air alarm yesterday
afternoon, the Berlin radio reported,
but the Japanese themselves confined
their broadcasts to deprecatory re-
ports on Saturday's raids on four
great cities and to hints of a peace
offensive in a lengthy account of
prayers by Japanese Christians for
an early peace.
The German report said that
alarms sounded between 4 and 5 p.m.
Japanese time (3 and 4 a.m., Eastern
War Time), and that "for central
Japan the all-clear sounded about 5
p.m., while the alarm remained in
force for western Japan, especially
for Kyushu."
Strategic Area
Kyushu is the most southern and
westerly of the four main Japanese
islands, nearest China. It has many
steel mtills, the great Sasebo Naval
Base and the important port of Na-
gasaki.
The German broadcast said noth-
ing of planes or bombs, so the alarms
may have been precautionary or
nervous reaction to the raids Satur-
day on Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya
and Kobe.
The Tokyo radio said Premir Hi-
deki Tojo would leae Wednesday on
a tour of industrial establishment
in Miye Prefecture, a district some
250 miles west of Tokyo and contain-
ing many war industries.
Pray For Peace
The Japanese broadcast on prayers
for peace quoted Toyohko Kagawa,
most famous Japanese Christianlead-
r, as saying that more than 200
Japanese Christians prayed day and
night for a week before the outbreak
of war and that even now "prayers
are being said daily 'for an early
;onclusion of the war and restora-
tion of peace throughout the world."
This broadcast might be a cautious
feeler in a "peace offensive"-of the
type which Archibald MacLeish,
iirector of the Federal Office of Facts
ind Figures, predicted Monday the
Axis would launch this summer.
MacArthur Begins
Duties As Comm ander
U.S. ARMY HEADQUARTERS in
Australia, April 21.-Q)-Gen. Doug-
las MacArthur selected today a staff
headed up by his old comrades of the
Philippine campaign and formally
began his tour of duty as supreme
Allied commander of the southwest
Pacific by issuing his first military
communique for this entire theatre,
a roundup of the Allied position from
Luzon south to Australian sea fron-
tier,
While his vast command was thus
put into smooth operation as one in-
tegrated unit, thepolitical leadership
of this commonwealth issued to the
world through the Australian Army
Minister Francis M. Forde one of the
most heartening declarations since'
first the enemy's shadow began to
fall to the south from the Dutch East
Indies.
Speaking at Rockhampton, Forde
declared:
"The war has turned in our favor.
"We will not rest until we are at
full strength and our forces are fully
equipped.
"When the Allied offensive against
the Axis is unfolded it will be a stag-
gering spectacle. The day for it to
be unleashed is not yet here, but it.
is not too far off."
Nevertheless the minister predicted
that the war would be long and that
there would be more Allied reverses.

Scholutic Fort Besieged:
Marshall Slashes At Colleges'
Failure To Inform On War

___._

Michigan Gets Melodious hymn:

By MARION FORD
"The failure of our educational
system in enlightening the people to
their duties as citizens was a great
factor in bringing about America's
j entrance in the war," according to
S. L. A. Marshall, radio commenta-
tor and military critic of the Detroit
News, speaking for the Women's
Field Army for the Control of Cancer
yesterday.
Stressing the fact that we need "to
come down from our ivory towers and
realize that we have a tremendous
job to do," he stated that it is not
possible for a young man to grow up
in the United States and go to a
single American college, with the pos-
sible exception of Princeton Univer-
sity, and graduate capable of going
to Congress and talking intelligently
about militar' affairs.
1' ii ,.Phnn . .hr,,r h fs on.(_.in

there is no longer any choice, that
there is no half-way stand to take.
A man is either for the war and its
whole hearted prosecution or against
it and against his country."
Stating that our main difficulty
arises from the fact that we have
been so little affected by the war, he
said that we have only begun to sac-
rifice and goin without cars, sugar
and cuffs is just the beginning. The
question of whether or not the public
is awake to the war can be measured,
not by what they say but by their ac-
tions in time of crisis.
In Marshall's opinion the greatest
single need of America is the regen-
eration of democracy and this can
be obtained not by sitting around and
waiting for a leader to tell us what to
do but by acting as individuals.

Student Song To Be Introduced
AtGlee Club's Spring Concert

Written by two University students,
a new and melodious Michigan hymn
will be introduced to the campus at
the annual spring concert of the
Men's Varsity Glee Club which will
be held at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in Hill
Auditorium.
This hymn takes its title and
theme from the University motto,
"Artes, Scientia, Veritas" (Mater
Michigan) and is dedicated to Presi-
dent Ruthven by the authors. Clar-
ence Klopsic, '42BAd, business man-
ager of the glee club wrote the words
for the hymn, while Donald Plott,
'44SM, student conductor of the club
and also student conductor of the
University Choir composed the music.
The hymn will be sung by the
glee club in the second half of the

formal program, consisting of various
secular and sacred selections. Dur-
ing some of the numbers, the organ
will accompany the piano and sing-
ers. One of the songs ,"The Voice of
Freedom," which will be thus ac-
companied, is based on Rubenstein's
"Kammenoi Ostrow." The arrange-
ment for men's chorus by Cailliet
which will be used retains all the
power and beauty of the selection as
written by the composer.
Although the second part of the
concert will be of a lighter nature,
it will close on a more serious tone.
Four songs, popular during the
United States' great wars, will be
rendered. These will include "Yankee
Doodle," "Battle Hymn of the Re-
