At the end of the morning 18 hole round on the University course, it was found that a darkhorse contin- gent from Minnesota was ahead with , tour man total of 308, while the Varsity and the Buckeyes were a close second with 309 each But the Golden Gophers faded to third as the Maize and Blue squad surged to the front on the strength of Ben Smith's second 18 hole score of 71, the lowest of the day, to give the Wolverines 612 strokes while the Col- umbus lads had 613. One Under Par Not only did Smith turn in a one under par second round for the low 18 hole medal score, but at the end of the day's proceedings he was lead- ing the field for individual honors with a total of 146. The Maize and Blue ace, still playing with a heavily taped shoulder, carded 36-39-75 in the morning to land in third place behind McCarthy of Illinois and Spero Daltas of Minnesota who shot 73 and 74, respectively. Then in the the afternoon, Smith came blazing back to tally a 36 on the first nine and a 35 on the back nine to come home with a 71. Daltas, McCarthy Trail Smith's total, one less than Daltas, and McCarthy who had 147, might haver been even lower had he not three-putted the last green in the afternoon. Behind the three individ- .lleders were ilini captain, Jonn- ny Holmstrod with 148, and John Krisko and John Lorms of Ohio State who carded 149 and 150. Minnesota's third place total was 619. while Northwestern landed one position behind with 625. The Wild- cats were spark-plugged by sopho- more Johnny Stoltz, who carded 155 as Dick Haskell, one of the favorites Turn to Page 3, Corl. 1 Nine Takes Two At Chicago, 16-1, 3-1 By MIKE DANN Special to The Daily CHICAGO, Ill., May 18.-Michi- gan's sensational baseball team con- tinued , to sweep all competition in sight as they beat the University of Chicago nine in both ends of a double header 16-1 and 3-1. Today's victories gave the Varsity its second double win in three days and if the Wolverines can beat Ohio State May 29-30 in one of the two games scheduled they will be assured of at least a tie or the Big Ten crown. The ptiching in today's games was every bit as good as the hurling in the Illini series. Bill Cain was on the mound for Michigan in the open- er and held the hapless Maroons to three hits and one unearned run, while Dick Savage and Mickey Fish- man hurled the nightcap and allowed but five hits and a lone marker. In the first game the Wolverines unleashed a 20-hit barrage that made the Battle of Bunker Hill look like a board of directors' meeting. By winning the opener Cain re- ceived credit for his first Confer- ence win and displayed enough ability to make himself a sure winner next year. The Varsity really had to play Turn to Page 3, Col. 2 Course Evaluations Will Be Featured In Technic Today The year's largest issue of Technic, official engineering college magazine, will come out today chock full of illustrations together with a special article by editor Wiiam W. Hutcher- son, '43E, showing the results of a recent faculty evaluation survey. This article, entitled "Your Grade, Professor," is in accord with the magazine's new policy of having fac- Broach Workers Stage Wildcat Protest Strike Huge Reach American Armored Force es Base In North Ireland; One-Third Of Night Shift Walks Out Against 'Unbearable Treatment' By. In Complaint Employers A "wildcat" strike called out 13 men from the night shift at the Ameri- can Broach and Machine Co. late last night in protest against what work- ers called "discrimination, riding, and unfair treatment." Workers were unanimous in hoping that the Government would take over1 the plant. According to Al Eckerle, surface finisher, "If the Army takes over, we'll say nothing and work as hard as we can and we want a 24-hour day. We would be damn poor Americans if we didn't." The State Mediation Board was notified, and a call was made to the War Labor Board at Washington shortly after the strike. The workers walked out, demanding that "American Broach recognize --<:, the USA," without authorization and against the protests of Edwin Hills, Captais international representative of the UAW-CIO, who nevertheless said ^.rthat "we must look at this not as a - 'strike, but as a protest against intol- eiable management." According to Robert Ferri, com- pany foreman, "the workers pre- sented no demands. They just walked out turned off their machines and when I asked them why they just said they were striking. Other com- pany officials could not be reached by press time. In explaining his inability to pre- vent the strike, Hills asserted that the company "by intimidating work- ers and fighting the CIO all the way has weakened our ability to organize and control the men." Chief complaints of the men were refusals by American Broach to rec- ognize committees representing the wrers, to submit disputes to arbi- tration, and to rehire men fired in direct violation of commitments madeat a Washington conference. . .. :::::<:"But they were unanimous in agree- ing that if, plant managers had not "put pressure on the boys, intimi- dated them and continued to ride them, there would have been no walk- .. out."

Fit and eager for a scrap, these fighting men came over -as public en- thusiasm in Britain mounted for a second front against Germany on the continent. These tanned combat troops brought an array of power-many tanks and other equipment-in a fleet of transports and supply ships almost as vast as the largest convoys of the last war. They were preceded by other formidable contingents which arrived be- tween late January and early March. Reinforcement of the rapidly' expanding American garrison followed closely the arrival of advance units of a Canadian armored division and _ thousands more men which the Do- MOSCOW, Tuesday, May 19.--(P) - Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's armies of the south, beating down and rolling over the teamed attacks of German tankists and parachutists of the sort that had run wild in France, were reported early today to be still advancing on a 100-mile arc about Kharkov in the Ukraine. "During May 18," said the Soviet command's midnight communique, "in the Kharkov direction our troops conducted offensive operations and advanced."

Included among the awards for outstanding participation in interamural sports were plaques emblematic of various team cham- pionships, individual medals for members of all winning teams, and medals for all event winners in wrest- ling and track. Presiding over the presentation dinner which featured among its honored guests former Athletic Di- rector Fielding H. Yost, swimming coach Matt Mann, track mentor Ken Doherty, Dr. George May of the physical education department, and many others, was Karl Litzenburg, Director of Residence Halls. Repre- senting the Intramural Department were Assistant Director of Intra- mural Activities Earl Riskey, Wally Eblen and A. A. James. After introducing the guests of the evening and personally handing out the year's awards, Litzenburg ex- pressed his gratification at the num- ber of dormitory athletes who have also maintained excellent scholastic records in the past few years. He pointed out the necessity for such a desirable combination at the present time, and in the immediate future when we "must be tough and must be Turn to Page 3, Col. 6 had indicated that Timoshenko's left was nearing Krasnograd, in an area about 60 miles southwest of Kharkov, and that his right was moving up on that Ukrainian metropolis itself. On the Kerch Peninsula in the Crimea, the midnight bulletin re- ported only a continuation of "stub- born battles in the region of the town of Kerch," thus not repeating an ear- lier statement that some parts of Kerch itself were in Russian hands. Before Kharkov, said Russian dis- patches, the bloodiest and most vio- lent of German counter-thrusts- where tanks pulling armored trailers of infantrymen charged the Soviet line headlong and parachutists were dropping in single groups numbering as high as 120-had everywhere failed to check Timoshenko's pro- gress. Every Soviet account indicated that the German command was hurl- ing every weapon of its explosive ar- mory into the supreme defensive effort. The German High Command con-. ceded a "desperate" Soviet resistance on the Kerch Peninsula, but claimed that the defenders there were 'facing annihilation.'' On the Kharkov front, an after- noon announcement from Berlin as-, serted that 324 Russian tanks had been destroyed since May 12. A num- ber of successful German counter- attacks, one of which was said to. have relieved an encircled German base, were likewise claimed. In London, a British military com- mentator, summing up the general situation, stated that Timoshenko's left wing already rested on Krasno- grad, and that the Russian advance thus was continuing on a 100-mile arc. RAF Cripples Prinz Eugen' Aerial Torpedoes Smash Powerful Nazi Cruiser LONDON, May 18. --(P)- The powerful 10,000-ton German cruiser Prinz Eugen was regarded tonight as knocked out of the vital battle of the Atlantic perhaps for three months' by the gaping wounds of two or more aerial torpedoes driven home before dusk last night by an RAF fighter- boxer squadron which caught her slipping along the Norwegian coast. Reporting that the aerial striking force reached Norwegian waters while it still was light, the Air Min- istry News Service said "the attack was pressed home in the teeth of strenuous opposition from a large force of enemy fighters and heavy anti-aircraft fire from ships." One attacking pilot said he saw a "great pillar of dirty black smoke" rise from the superstructure of the cruiser after he sent his torpedo home. New Price Head ALDEN JOHNSON David Matthews, '43Ed, of Roy- al Oak, and Alden 'Jinx' Johnson, '43, Grand Rapids, have been elect- ed captains of the track team and tennis team, respectively, for the year of 1942-43. Matthews devotes much of his time to swimming but is a star trackman. He placed third in the half-mile at the Big Ten outdoor track meet at Evans- ton, Ill. Johnson had the remarkable record of winning 25 consecutive matches, including a Conference championship. (See Stories on Page 3) Alfred B. Connable, University Regent, was sworn in yesterday as Michigan's State Price Adminis- trator. He will work directly un- der Arthur Sarvis, Michigan OPA director. Taking a leave of absence from the Detroit Trust Co. where he is assistant vice-president and manager of its investment analy- sis department, Connable will have his office in the Penobscot building in Detroit. He accepted the position following an appoint- ment from the OPA regional of- fice in Cleveland. He graduated from Michigan in 1925 and from the Harvard School of Business Administration in 1929. Landers Named Head Of Revamped Senate James J. Landers, '43, of Spring- field, Mass., was elected president of the revamped student senate at its last meeting of the semester. Reorganized this term into a nine- man policy-forming branch and a separate administrative staff, the new senate will continue its activities at the start of the summer semester. The head of the administrative staff and his associate will be an- nounced early in the summer term. minion is contributing to the great land and air force the Allies are mar- shaling for liberation of Europe and Empire. Many of the United States soldiers who swarmed ashore in Ulster were fromsMidwestern and NorthCentral states, their ranks stiffened and smartened by the presences of vet- erans and members of picked units. Among them were young, tough men wearing the newest type combat nelmet. Scores of them, despite their youth, already have served in the Far East. Both the crossing and landings were without incident. Men Arrive Fit The men arrived fit and the dis- embarkation, carried out in the great- est secrecy and security precautions, was smooth and swift. The great convoy made up of liners and one-time fancy cruise ships con- verted to troop carriers apparently escaped the enemy's aerial eyes and the troops quickly, disembarked to disperse themselves among se- cluded bases prepared for them throughout Ulster. The United States Navy, charged with the most important Atlantic convoy job in more than five months of war, kept intact its record of never having lost a troopship. The Army also shared in the praise for the safety of the troops, for the guns aboard the transports were manned by soldiers of the Army's transport service, and the ship's crews themselves were civilians. Finest He's Seen A British officer, to whom the operation was an oft-viewed scene, said: "This is the finest I've ever seen." The first enlisted man off the first ship to arrive in this contingent was Private Marvin O'Neal who said he was "an Irishman from South Da- kota"-the town of Philip. Irishmen on hand to see the arriv- als quickly explained that "O'Neil- and surely O'Neal is just an Ameri- canization," is a revered name in Ul- ster. On Northern Ireland's coat of arms is the red hand of Ulster, the symbol springing from the legend of the fighting O'Neil clan. Allied Bombers Hit Two Transports ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Aus- tralia, Tuesday, May 19.--(P)-Allied bombers struck again yesterday at Japanese shipping off Koepang, Ti- mor Island, scoring direct hits and probably destroying two transports, General MacArthur's headquarters said today. One heavy Japanese bomber was shot down and probably three others were destroyed, and three fighter planes damaged when 34 heavy bombers and 15 fighter'planes at- tacked Port Moresby in New Guinea. Minor damage was caused to the runways at Port Moresby and one Allied plane was reported mising, the communique said. Emphasizes Grave Peril Emphasizing anew Australia's grave peril, Commonwealth leaders today pictured the Allied victory in the Coral Sea as only a delaying ac- tion against a Japanese foe already reassembling a more powerful in- vasion force for another thrust in this direction. Prime Minister John Curtin him- self declared that "although I have no fear of the results," Australians might soon be meeting "the shock of war upon their own soil." Forum Has Stormy Session: U.S. Housing Consultant Defends CherryHill Project At Meeting JOHN CROWE RANSOM contestants in this greatest of uni- versity creative writing competitions, wait impatiently for announcement of winners and distribution of $8,000 in prize money. Ransom, author of "The World's Body," "Aesthetics and Criticism" and co-author of "The Intent of the Critic," has selected for his topic, "The Primitive Language of Poetry." The awards, made possible by a gift of the late playwright Avery Hopwood, '05, author of "Fair and Warmer," "The Gold Digger" and "The Bat," will be given according to the terms of the bequest, "to students performing the best creative work in the fields of dramatic writing, fic- tion. poetry, and the essay.'" Journal editors and publishing houses have been quick to recognize Hopwood talent, and in recent years many of the outstanding manuscripts have been published, foremost among them "Fireweed," by Mildred Walker, "The Loon Feather," by Iola Fuller, and "Whistle Stop," by Maritta Wolff. 50 Per Cent Greater Wear: Fabric Strengthening Process Patented By Professor Bartell By MARK LIPPER Amidst a storm of protests and questions from Ann Arbor citizens and local officials last night, at a special Ann Arbor Community For- um meeting, Tracy V. Augur, consul- tant to the Detroit office of the Fed- eral Public Housing Authority, told why the Government has adopted plans for the Cherry Hill Road hous- ing project and why it intends to carry them out. Speaking in a panel discussion in Pattengill Auditorium of Ann Arbor High School, Augur asserted that federal authorities made a careful study of every problem arising from the proposed building of the new 6,000 home bomber plant city and find it is the only solution to hous- ing the ever increasing army of de- fense workers being employed at Willow Run. Prof. Carl Karlsen, of the Univer- controls or lose its educational standing," le declared. If this city accepts an excess of workers and be- comes over-industrialized, he pointed out, it will no longer be an educa- tional center. He also mentioned that Ypsilanti will suffer over-expansion with a doubled population if the gov- ernment's plans are not accepted. Representing the Ypsilanti Board of Commerce, Paul Ungrodt stated that although the city of Ypsilanti still does not favor the proposed city it is willing to cooperate with the federal government. He referred to Ypsilanti as the "place where com- merce and education meet" and claimed that city has no intention of over-expansion and that proper pre- cautions would be taken to keep the community as pleasant as it is at present and to maintain its educa- tional standing. Terminating' the nanel discussion Publications Students Honor Prof. Sunderland More than 100 University students participating on publications, former and present members of the Board in Control of Student Publications and other invited guests joined last night at a banquet to honor Prof. Edsnn RiSnderland of the Law By LEON GORDENKER Added strength and greatly in- creased wearing qualities are prom- ised for ever-scarcer textiles by a new process recently patented by Prof. Floyd E. Bartell of the chemistry de- partment. The new textile process consists of coating the cloth fibers with a thin, non-visible synthetic resin. The treated products retain the same "feel" but gain new resistance to wear. Tests have shown that most tex- tiles will wear fifty per cent longer after processing. All fabrics can be treated without harm and fire and water proofing substances can be added to the resin to further protect the cloth. danger from fumes by making an emulsion of the dissolved resin in water. The fabric is dipped into the emulsion, making possible a thin coating of the fibers without the wastefulness of the former process. Another promising aspect of Pro- fessor Bartell's process is in the treatment of cotton thread. The thread is passed through the emul- sion under tension, resulting in a final product closely resembling linen thread in its qualities. Difficulty experienced in dying certain synthetic fabrics invented in the last few years can be eliminated by the emulsion process. If the fab- rics are treated before they are dyed, their coloring is accomplished effec- tively in all shadesand hues.
