Army Allied Peace Plans After Victory StIessed By Dr. F. L Schnm An. AL OWENS * * * Alfred W. Owens, '42, of Detroit, cadet lieutenant colonel in the ROTC corps, was recently named as one of four students chosen from colleges in the sixth corps area to be offered commissions in the United States regular Army. First cadet to be selected from the University of Michigan corps for the past 12 years, Owens will be com- missioned as a second lieutenant in the Infantry upon graduation. Sen-f iors, upon completion of the ROTC course are ordinarily commissioned in the Officers Reserve Corps. 'Ensian Business Manager Extra - curricular activities and scholarship ranked high in the basis of selection. Qualifying in both re- spects, Owen is the retiring busi- ness manager of the Michiganensian I and senior honor student. He is a member of Sigma Chi irat(rnity andj was tapped by Michigamua andI Sphinx. Four Cadets Chosen' Four cadets were chosen from ap- proximately 36 recommended from all the colleges in the corps area, which includes Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. Three cadets from each college having an ROTC unit were recommended by their superior offi- cers to the examining board from the corps headquarters in Chicago.

Bob Collins, '42E, general chairman, reported yesterday. Leading off the discussion at thes banquet will be Dr. William E. Wick- enden, president of the Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, who will speak on the topic, "The Engi- neer in the Post-War World." Col- lins reported that more than 300 en- gineers are expected to attend the event, but that tickets are still being sold from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily in the Engineering Arch and in the lobby of the East Engineering Building. Calling for "political and psycho- logical warfare," Frederick L. Schu- man of Williams College told a Rack- ham Auditorium audience Sunday that "we must proclaim to the world how we propose to win the peace be- fore we can even begin to win the war." International anarchy, the cause of the present conflict, must be ended by an international federal union that will keep peace, Dr. Schuman said, drawing from the experience of the once-divided American republic. The "parties of the third part," the enslaved people of conquered Eu- rope, are not interested in our only declaration of aims, the Atlantic Charter, which, Dr. Schuman de- clared, "can only be regarded as a formula for going back to the status quo."~ Prejudices Stand In Way On the home front "many of our people are still entangled in old prej- udices" which preclude any formula- tion of post-war programs, he stated,1 remarking that "that is the way ofI defeat." The world, "a wholly integrated community," must be recognized as such in the new world order that must match idea for idea with those of the Fascists, Dr. Schuman de- clared in presenting his plans of fed- eral union for peace. In recognizing the integration of Chem istms' lub To Be Founded Experts Will Be Featured I At MonthlyMeeting; A new Freshman Chemistry Club. the first of its kind at the University for many years, is being sponsored by Alpha Chi Sigma, professional chemistry fraternity, and Phi Lamb- da Upsilon, honorary chemistry fra- ternity.

The board in charge consists of Richard Field, Grad., Charles Braithwaite, Grad., Worthy T. Boyd, '44E, Howard T. Siefen, Grad., and Roger A. Hoff- man, Grad. the world, the Allies must declare a policy which will build a world "in the form of a new social and eco- nomic democracy," Dr. Schuman said. Describing territorial divisions for' the world federation, Dr. Schuman suggested that there be three divi- sions: Russia, China and India; and the United States and the western European countries.

Faddis Charges Favoritism WASHINGTON, May 4. -(3) - A1 charge that officers' commissions arel being dealt out with an eye to creat-1 ing pressure for a separate Air Corps7 came today from Representative Fad- dis (Dem.-Pa.) DETROIT, May 3.-Detroit's first practice blackout Sunday night, from where this reporter viewed it, was a con'Dlete success, although the savoir faire was missing because street lights were not put out. Sitting in a bus on Michigan Ave- nue outside of Dearborn in darkness -a lone street light the only excep- tion-reactions of .the passengers ran through a maze of emotions. Bus Is Flagged It all started dramatically enough. The bus was flagged immediately after the sirens sounded by a police officer waving a flashlight. Thebus pulled over to the side of the road and the lights were switched off. For fifteen minutes we sat watch- ing the police and air raid wardens halting cars and trucks. The eeriest sensation was provided by the police cars which cruised with lights out up and down the road looking for signs of illumination. Civilians Are Quiet On the bus, some of the people sat quietly, looking at the darkened houses. Others simply giggled and stage-whispered their intense an- noyance at being held up. A few people lit cigarettes, and mutterings of "he ought to be fined" ran through the bus. Some of the people-against regu- lations-got out and walked around, but the air raid wardens were too busy spotting cars to bother with them. But over all the laughing and talking there was a tense and nervous the sirens at 10 p.m., but the all- clear signal at 10:15 sounded 'like a five-alarm fire. The immediate re- sponse was a tremendous burst of light up and down the road. At least a hundred cars appeared as if they had been dropped from the air with the all-clear, and the gas station on our right was a complete surprise. The bus driver climbed in and turned on his lights, shifted into first, and we started moving. The odd sensations wore off when we reached Wayne and saw the houses with lights burning in all the win- dows. White Emphasizes Need For Trained Engineers Prof. A. H. White, of the Chemical Engineering Department, emphasized the urgent need for trained engineers at a regional meeting of 'the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Ed- ucation in Raleigh, N.C., May 1.
