signed by 37 students from the other
American republics attending the
University of Michigan.
"The spontaneous gesture of good-
will on the partof these fellow Amer-
icans is highly valued. In this hour
of world crisis and grave threat to
the Americas, it is reassuring to re-
ceive their pledge of loyal support
and to learn of their enthusiastic
desire to aid in our common defense.
"I should appreciate it if you
would convey to those whom you aid
as Counselor this department's grate-
ful recognition of their joint testi-
monial."

'U' Graduates Get Break:
Appointments Bureau Helps
Solve Skilled Labor Problem

By EUGENE MANDEBERG
Through its nation wide contacts
the University Bureau of Appoint-
ments and Occupational Information
is now engaged in the ever-widening
field of securing specialists in every
line of work for government and
government contractor employment.
The Bureau receives requests daily
for men to serve in technical capaci-
ties at airfields and manufacturing
concerns, along with usual civilian
work.
A recent Army plan to establish 18j
"depot" airfields was announced to
the Bureau, for which directors and
assistants will be needed. The Bureau
has already located five men with
the necessary qualifications for such
director jobs.
Several of the large aircraft com-
panies working on government con-
tracts have requested the Bureau to
find them men for technical work,
offering salaries of approximately
five thousand dollars yearly. In fill-
ing such calls, the Bureau has the aid
of its thousands of alumni records,
and within the past few weeks has
contacted qualified alumni in various
parts of the state and throughout
the country.
Besides this work, the Bureau has
been asked to locate women for train-
ing a inspectors in the Michigan
automobile plants. For this job, the1
Bureau has been canvassing the small
towns of the state to find women who
wouldI be suitable.
Qualifications for such inspectors'
jobs include being a college gradu-
ate between the ages of 25 and 35,
weighing under 135 pounds, and pre-
ferably women whose husbands arel
in the armed services or who must
work to support themselves.
Also, the Bureau has been able to
act quickly and efficiently, supplying
applicants many times within 24
hours of the request from the em-
ployer. This service has saved manu-
facturers a great deal of time and
trouble, for by referring their needs
Ito the Bureau they are able to deal
with persons who are aware of what
the position demands, and who are
qualified.
Dr. T. Luther Purdom, director of
the Bureau, expressed the view that
leinecke Honored
For Water Color
Tristan Meinecke, '42A, is the re-
cipient of one of the highest honors
to which an art student can aspire,
an invitation to show his water color
"City Landscape" at the Interna-
tional Exhibition of Water Colors at
the Chicago Art Institute.
Open to all water color artists,
professionals as well as students, this
exhibition is the biggest display of
its kind in the world. Artists are not
compelled to wait for an invitation to
show their work, but an invitation is
special recognition of superior ability,
and those not so invited are required
to submit their work to a special jury
for approval. The exhibit will be held
from May 14 to Aug. 23.
Son of Prof. Bruno Meinecke of
the Latin department, Meinecke is
featured in this month's issue of
Gargoyle, three pictures of himself
and his work being shown.
No Retreads To Be Sold
LANSING, Feb. 26.-()-No re-
treaded or'recapped passenger tires
will be available in Michigan during
March, state rationing administrator,
Arthur H. Sarvis, said today, because
no quota has been fixed.

the Bureau's work is something con-
crete the University is doing to co-
operate with the national war effort.
Fo example, nine men have re-
cently been placed at Maxwell Field,
Montgomery, Ala., in the physical
education department, and several
others are now working in the per-
sonnel division of the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station

were responsible for this cancer. By
injecting male sex hormones he
found the tumor growth was accel-
erated. By depressing the produc-
tion of the male sex hormone, he
was able to retard the cancer. His
treatment is castration.
Cases observed during a two-year
period he reported as showing "high-
ly encouraging results." He has sev-
eral cases treated two years ago
whose cancers have shown no indica-
tion of resuming growth.
University of Michigan doctors
have treated 80 such patients during
the past 17 months. Of these, 22 had
entered the hospital in "agonizing
pain."
Within 48 to 72 hours after opera-
tion 16 of them had what the dctors
called "complete relief from pain";
three others had "partial relief";
three had "no relief."
On 30 consecutive cases, observed
long enough to measure results, the
Michigan doctors made this report:
"Three cancers have completely dis-
appeared when measured by physical
signs; five are unrecognizable as can-
cer; nine are altered in consistency
suggesting marked regression; nine
are considerablyreduced in size but
still recognizable as cancer; four
show no change. Even in cases where
the cancer had spread to the bones,
the cancer showed regression and the
prostate gland shrunk."
Between 10 and 20 percentof the
cases both in the Chicago and Ann
Arbor series failed to respond to
treatment, it was reported.
A theory advanced by the Michi-
gan doctors for this failure is that
there was a source of male sex hor-
mones in these cases, other than the
glands which had been removed.
The Michigan report said "no ap-
plication of this method to other
forms of human cancer has yet been
discovered."
B-e-e-r Occasionally
Spells H-i+s-c-h-i-e-f
Mack elementary school stu-
dents got one of their rare looks
at the works of the devil yesterday.
Arriving at the fount of knowl-
edge with their bright and shining
faces-every single one fresh from
the moral admonishments of his
fond parents - they gathered
around some peculiar shining cyl-
inders piled on the school steps.
Naturally none of their teachers
could identify them, but the words
written thereon were spelled
b-e-e-r.
Old Scratch and his assistants
are presumably still roaming Ann
Arbor's streets pursued by the
police and the ghost of Carrie
Nation.

"Garg" will be here today with the
greatest news of all time-a tale
never released over the teletype-
'The Invasion of Ann Arbor.'
Accompanied by the screams of co-
eds and of shells, by the toppling of
the University's magnificent build-
ings, the Invader takes over. Will
Raymond flashes this diabolical fan-s
tasy graphically via the February
Gargoyle.
This is only part of a new section
added to Gargoyle, a magazine-with-
in-a-magazine, which will be given
over each month to complete presen-
tation of a selected aspect of Uni-
versity life. This time it's the war,
with a full page of cartoons depicting
life of the Martha Cookies during a
blackout and another of photographs
on the part played by the University
students in the nation's war pro-
gram completing the picture.
There will be many more points of
interest, too, in a trip through the
February "Garg," a three-page
J-Hop souvenir section, the Cover
Girl, Album of Beauty and the debut
of Mr. John,' latest rival to the fame
of Superman. So remember to stop
for a copy today!

Priorities :Delay
StateEquipment
LANSING, Feb. 26.-(A')-Lack of
wool, steel and plumbing supplies is
causing delay in clothing and housing
Michigan state troops, said state offi-
cials, who are planning to appeal to
Washington against the delay in sup-
plies.
William H. Burke, manager of the
prison industries, said 4,500 heavy
overcoats, trousers and blouses and
14,000 blankets are being delayed by
Federal priorities on wool, while state
building director A. N. Langius said
some National Guard armory units
may not be completed because of
material shortage.
Langius said lack of pipe, plumbing
supplies and steel for strong room
doors is causing most of the delay
on armories at Jackson, South Haven,
Muskegon and Lansing.
