City Wide USO
Drive to Begin
at Sunday Rallya
Campaign to Secure
Money for Community
Fund, War Prisoners
The University Men's Glee Club will
share honors with the Ann Arbor
Civic Orchestra, Sunday at a city-
wide rally in Hill Auditorium whichc
fires off the $77,500 USO-Community
Fund drive.
Both groups of musicians will per- '
form in a 3:20 p. m. program on the
opening day of a sweeping week's7
drive to aid the causes of the Com-I
munity Fund, the United Service Or-1
ganizations, and the War Prisoner's
Aid."
Earl H. Cress, general chairman of
the drive, said both Ann Arbor public"
schools and the University will have
an active hand in the canvassing for
this deliberately "punchy campaign."
This first concerted drive since the
outbreak of war will pro-rate the'
money it secures among three causes
with a majority of the money destined
for Ann Arbor Community Fund,
Agencies. USO, sponsors now plan,
will receive about $15,000 if the quota
is reached, and War Prisoner's Aid"
about $500.00.
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will
usher at the, rally Sunday, the Com-
niunity Fund announces, and public
sehpo1s will send notes to every parent
explaining the purposes of the USO.
Twelve local social service organi-
zations will divide the share of the
money given the Community Fund,
and six.City USO agencies, including
the YMCA, Salvation Army, and Jew-
ish and Catholic organizations will
divide the rest.

Hook Defeated
in Close Battle
for Congress
12 Seats in Congress
Won by Republicans
DETROIT, Nov. 4.- '(P)- Unoffi-
cial returns from yesterday's general
election indicated that resurgent
Michigan Republicans had driven
Democrats from their last outstate
congressional stronghold, the Upper
Peninsula's Twelfth District where
Rep. Frank E. Hook of Ironwood was
seeking a fifth consecutive term.
With only five scattering Marquette
County precincts unreported, John
B. Bennett, Ontonagon Republican,
held an edge of a little more than
3,500 votes which late returns were
padding slightly. The Twelfth was
the only district to change its politi-
cal complexion.
Five Detroit districts returned Dem-
ocratic congressmen and the eleven
other outstate districts, including the
17th, which sprawls across the Oak-
land-Wayne county line, returned
Republicans. Except in the Twelfth
and the First, where Rep. Rudolph G.
Tenerowicz was defeated in the pri-
mary, incumbents were reelected.
Tenerowicz' Democratic successor
won handily in the first district, how-
ever. The 17th remained Republican,
reelecting Rep. George A. Dondero by
a margin of approximately 11,000
over Mrs. Dorothy Kemp Roosevelt,
sister-in-law of the President's wife.
On the strength of virtually com-
pleteunofficial returns, the Michi-
gan delegation's lineup in the 78th
Congress will be :
Republicans - Bennett; Paul W.
Shafer of battle Creek, Clare E. Hoff-
man of Allegan, Bartel J. Jonkman of
Grand Rapids, Jesse P. Wolcott of
Port Huron and Roy O. Woodruff of
Bay City, all reelected over the pleas
of opponents who criticized them as
pre-Pearl Harbor isolationists; Earl
C. Michener of Adrian, William W.
Blackney of Flint, Fred L. Crawford
of Saginaw, Albert J. Engel of Muske-
gon. Fred J. Bradley of Rogers City
and Dondero, also reelected.
Democrats- former Congressman
George G. Sadowski, who succeeded
to Tenerowicz' seat, George D O'-
Brien, Louis C. Rabaut, John D. Din-
gell and John :Lesinski.
Van Wagoner Says Defeat
Was Part of GOP Trend
LANSING, Nov. 4.- ()- Governor
Van Wagoner said today ,his defeat
by Harry F. Kelly, Secretary of State,
in Michigan's general election yester-
day was "part of a national trend
favoring Republican candidates."
Van Wagoner asserted that, "If
U.S. Senator Brown was defeated in
yesterday's election, the rest of us
Democratic candidates had little
chance to win."

GOP Upsurge
Cuts FDR's
Vote Control
(Continued from Page 1)
The sole Democrat to escape the
landslide was Associate Justice Ray-
mond W. Starr of the state supreme
court,=but he was running on a non-
partisan ballot.
'Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner
failed in his -attempt to be the first
Chief Executive of. Michigan to serve
two consecutive terms since 1928.,
His' opponent 'and next governor,
Secretary of; State Harry F.' Kelly,
grabbed the bit in his teeth as he
started down-state in the early unof-
ficialreturns andnever was breasted.
Michigan's junior senator, Prentiss
M. Brown, of St. Ignace, who recently
was personally thanked by President
Roosevelt for'his leadership in a con-
gressional anti-inflation fight, 'was
rejected by the voters in favor of
Circuit Judge Homer Ferguson.
Brown' came out of Detroit alone
with a lead of slightly under 100,000
votes, but he could not catch up.
The story of Republican strength
ran throughout the state ticket, even
upsetting the Democrats' veteran
state treasurer, Theodore I. Fry for
Senator D. Hale Brake.
Vernon J. Brown, the Mason Week-
ly newspaper publisher seeking his
third term as auditor general, had no
difficulty defeating Carl B. Branden-
burg, Macomb county treasurer.
Attorney General Herbert J. Rush-
ton piled up a lead of more than
110,000 over John W. Babcock, assis-
tant U.S. district attorney in Detroit.
Roly-poly Herman H. Dignan, re-
tiring state senator from Owosso, re-
tained-. for the Republican party the.

Reality Needed,
McaluskySa ys
Stressing the importance of a com-
bination of realism and perspective,
Prof. Howard McClusky, before a
meeting of the Post-War Council last
night, declared ,that in planning the
peace we must use "a sense of grass
roots reality."
Addressing, the close followers of
the. Council particularly, Professor
McClusky warned them against be-
coming a little cult on defense against'
the rest of the campus.
Just back from Washington, Pro-.
fessor McClusky revealed that a plan
is being considered by the OWI to
offer adult educational programs on
post-war issues. Professor McClusky
also said that there is evidence to
indicate that the soldiers themselves
are preoccupied with war issues and
added that he thought a clarification.
of war aims would contribute much
to the winning of the war.
In his portion of the program, Pro-
fessor Preston Slosson claimed that
post-war planning is "an inescapable
duty laid upon us."

"Tain't like it used to be 'round,
here-them wimmin are gonna over-

Gobs of mild protests like these
have been bantered about by many
a student engineer lately, upon re-
calling those days of yore when a girl
in the engine school was about as
rare as a snowball in a-a-ah Hades.
And, from the strictly masculine
viewpoint, the sad part of these com-
mentaries is that they are grounded
upon solid fact. At least that's what
Bill Hamilton, hefty sophomore en-
gineer and varsity swimmer who set
up himself as an authority on the
subject, said yesterday in an inter-

echo with the shrill of feminine voi-
ces when going to and from their Ord-
nance Materials Inspection training
classes.
More than one reminiscent engi-
neer has reported that up until this
course began last January there was
seldom more than a handful of girls
even seen in the college, much less
enrolled there. Don Granger, another,
sophomore mechanical engineer who
hails from Flint, recalled how last
year there were only 10 girls enrolled
in the whole engineering college.
"Look at them now," he slashed out,
protesting against what he termed a
"downright invasion of the place."
However, it's Col. H. W. Miller's
office in the engineering drawing de-
partment that has the answer to all
questions concerning "them curls" in
the engineers' sanctuary, for it is
under the ordnance program super-
vised by him that the whole thing
began.
When ordnance courses first star-
ted last January, classes were com-
pletely filled with men-not a skirt
in sight. But after five of the 10-week
training sections had been graduated,
along came number six-the one in
which women were first admitted.
Since then the number of girls has
been on a steady up-grade until in
section 10 which began three weeks
ago there were five solitary men left
out of a group of 39 students.
Most of the trainees come directly
from high school and cite the draft
as the obvious reason for the need of
them as inspectors. When inter-
viewed, Anna Zbercot of Detroit re-
ported that she had been an inspector
in a cigar factory before beginning
ordnance training. And, when asked
about what she thought of the boys
in engine school, she evened the tally
against Hamilton and Granger by
insisting that "they're all terrible
wolves! I like the fellows in Detroit!"
And, Margaret Mesar, who came
here from Tacoma Academy in Ta-
coma Park, Md., emphatically backed
up that statement but added "they're
not bad looking." Mildred Wiesber-
ger, 26-year-old former Detroit ste-
nographer who said she undertook
the course to "get in on the ground
floor of defense work for women,"
would only comment, "they're sort
of young." Her chief worry is "this
bewildering slide rule."
But, one of the best examples of
the ordnance trainees is Mrs. Flor-
ence Ludwick, who left her job in a
Wyandotte department store to get
in step with the war effort. After
questioning she admitted that her
son-in-law and brother are all in the
Army and that her daughter and hus-
band are engaged in defense produc-
tion. Mrs. Ludwick said, "We women
will now have to show the men what
we can do. All the trainees can't wait
to finish the course and get to work."
Many other trainees have had two,
three or more years of college, some
having studied art, law, music, nurs-
ing and radio. Trainees are given in-
struction in mathematics, blue-print
reading and sketching, materials of
industry, manufacturing processes,
and inspection practice.
Colonel Miller reports that the pro-
gram has suffered none by the influx
of women inspectors. They are said
to be excellent precision workers, and
a few have even been known to have
gotten all A's in this 40 hour a week
course.

Michigan students serving in the
armed forces are fighting for the life
of their country, consistently earning
promotions and doing things that
serve our nation best. Today's news
tells us that:
Second Lieut. Edward A. McLo-
gan from Flint is in training at
Camp Wheeler, Ga. Lieut. McLogan
graduated from the University in
June after majoring in political
science. He received his commission

While on campus, Lieut. McLogan
was a Cadet Adjutant Major of the
ROTC and president of Phi Kappa
Psi.
Second Lieut. David K. Easlick, who
also graduated in June, was a Cadet
Captain in the ROTC unit here. After
entering the service in August, Lieut.
Easlick went to Camp Wheeler and
has just been transferred to Fort
Benning, Ga. A geography major, he
is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth
Easlick of Ann Arbor. Lieut. Eas-
lick is affiliated with Pi Kappa Psi.

People ask us - "Isn't it possible to heat my whole house
with electricity? Why not small heaters in every room, or
an electric furnace in the basement?"
In a nutshell, the answer is this: Electric heat is prac-
tical in a SMALL SPACE (such as a bathroom) for a
SHORT TIME' (one or two hours' use per day). But at
present it is not economical for heating for long periods
or for large rooms. And it is NOT an economical means
of providing additional heat to raise the temperature
from 65 to 70 degrees throughout your entire house.
There are several reasons why this is so.
First, electric heat is highly refined heat made from
coal, and a great deal of heat is lost in the process. If you
had 5 tons of coal to turn into electric heat, the heat of
4 tons of coal would be lost in the change-over, and the
heat equivalent of only ONE TON would be delivered to
your home. The most efficient electric power plants today
can extract in the form of refined electric heat about
20 per cent of the heat originally in the coal. But if you
burn the coal in your furnace, you can extract 50 to 60
per cent of its crude heat in useful warmth.
Second, electricity must be made the instant it is being
used and on cold days each home would require about
80 times as much as it uses normally. The extra power
plant equipment to produce enough electricity to heat
houses on a cold day would- be partly idle on a warmer
day; and it would be completely idle all summer. But the
expense would continue the year round, and to cover this
all-year expense, the cost of electricity would be high
All the above pertains to house heating. Elec-
tricity is, of course, highly economical for steadier
uses like water heating, cooking or other uses
of refined heat requiring closer control.
