Naval Affairs
Favors Attack
Advocates 'Dual Offensive'
On Japan, French Coast
In the last official meeting of the
semester, the majority of the mem-
bers of the Naval Affairs Club fav-
ored a "dual offensive" plan of at-
tacking Japan and Germany simul-
taneously.
In the advent of a single point of
attack, it was the consensus of opin-
ion that the most logical and imme-
diate problem is that of annihilating
Japan, since "Russia is taking care
of Germany adequately at the pres-
ent time."
The second point considered most
feasible for the launching of a .spring
offensive was the French coastline
and the low countries. Using this in
the dual offensive, even if only as a
feint, would be most successful, ac-
cording to the majority of the group.
Feeling that it would be unwise to
allow the Japanese to consolidate
their position while the United States
was ocupied with the Germans, it
was agreed that Germany is still a
general enemy while Japan is our
most immediate one.
If Germany is to be diverted in her
spring offensive, Britain should be
the one to do it while we are occupy-
ing ourselves with Japan. It was
further stated that the regaining of
our vital war materials is necessary
before attacking Hitler.
Edward W. Mill, faculty adviser of
the cltib and a member of the politi-
cal science department, stressed the
fact that the Japanese are aware
of our intentions and it is not at all
improbable that they themselves may
attack through the Aleutian Islands.

Two relief workers search through the rubble of what once was a hardware store in Pryor, Okla., a war
boom town ripped by a tornado that swept through a s ection of Eastern Oklahoma. The state highway pa-
trol said 68 were known dead and estimated that the d eath toll might reach 100. They said 250 others were
injured. The multi-million-dollar Oklahoma ordnance works near Pryor escaped serious damage.

Self-Styled Femc
Guards Fron
By BERYL SHOENFELID
George L. Johnson, 82 years old1
and self-acclaimed lover of beautiful
women, yesterday celebrated 21 years
with the Michigan Union-where he
has been employed at preventing
women from passing through the
sacred front door.
George, white-haired and stooped a
bit, reminisced about his women-
expelling career as he puffed on his
anniversary cigar given to him by
the management.
Women, he explained, can't use
the front entrance because the
Union is a men's club and the custom
is the last vestige of a man's freedom.
Exceptions are made at open houses,
during football games or Schoolmas-
ters and MIPA conventions. Some-
times George overlooks the staunch
regulation and lets women dash

through the front door to buy bus
tickets-only if he's sure they'll miss
the bus if forced to walk around to
the side entrance.
But beside these instances, few
cases of women infringing on this
restriction can be cited.
George recounts, however, the
complications experienced recently in
preventing a girl from leaving by
way of one of the four front doo*.
Whenever the attendant blocked one
passage, she dashed to another.
The attendant won, he thinks.
Only once has George Johnson
been compelled to use violence in
connection with his women-evicting.
About ten years ago, he relates, a
strange couple, having been sent
around to the side door to enter, re-
volted and tried to leave through the
front door. The husband, leading
the way, blocked interference for his
wife, while she walked guardedly
toward the tabooed door. George,
quick to rally, pinned the opposition
on a desk in the vestibule, and the
couple left by way of the side door.
140-pound George admits defeat
on one occasion. A "solid-looking"
woman, 35 pounds his superior, was
not to be stopped by George's men-
acing presence in the door, and
shoved him "like a match" out of
the door before her.
Old George has heard a lot of sar-
casm during his 21 years of bouncing
women from the Union, and has suf-
fered many slaps in the face-"but I
wouldn't touch a woman if she did,
though it's as humiliating as hell!"
And George Johnson, fondly fin-
gering the four gold stripes on his
sleeve teach symbolizing five years
of service) predicts that he'll prob-
ably be "catering to women" to the
very end.
Latins To Meet Saturday
The Latin-American Society will
hold a meeting at 3:00 p.m. Saturday
in Room 116 of the Union.
At the meeting by-laws of the
coming year will be discussed and a

will be taken.

Marks Speaks
ToSigma X1
Discusses Solar Energyt
At Annual Induction
Sources of power, now vitally im-
portant with fuller utilization of re-
sources, were discussed by Dr. LionelI
S. Marks, professor emeritus at Har-I
vard University, at the initiation ban-
quet of Sigma Xi, scientific research
fraternity, yesterday in the Union,
Pointing out that solar energy is
the one important power source, Dr.
Marks, as professor of mechanical en-
gineering, told of new uses of the
basic resource. The most remarkable
development, he stated, is that of the
lightweight aircraft engines and the
planes themselves.
Initiates numbered 136, including
30 transfer members from other
chapters of the national fraternity.
Included in the transferring members
was Prof. Kenneth K. Landis recently
appointed head of the geology de-
partment.
Other members initiated were Prof.
Elizabeth L. Crosby of the anatomy
department, Prof. Arnold M. Kuethe
of the aeronautical engineering de-
partment and Prof. G. M. Ridenour,
of the public health school, all trans-
fer members.
