War Housing
Situation in
Detroit Eased
LANSING, Dec. 16.- (P)-

Michigan Council of Defense, holding
its final 1942 meeting here today, was
informed that the housing situation
in war-busy metropolitan Detroit
would not be as serious as expected
this winter.
Raymond M. Foley, state housing
administrator and council member,
reported that the rate of migrant
munition workers had fallen below
expectation in the Detroit and Willow
Run areas.
Foley estimated that 28,000 living
units, privately built, have been made
available or are under construction inf
the Detroit and Willow Run areas and
that 8,000 additional units are allow-
able there. He said construction of

English Idea
for Post-War
Planning Given
World Union Analyzed
by Kathleen Courtney
"A worldwide organization of na-
tions united as the countries desire
rather than through compulsion is
the most popular idea for post-war
planning in England at the present
time," Miss Kathleen Courtney,
prominent English lecturer, said yes-
terday.
"The organization must be formed
with two objectives in mind," she
said. "First, it must be such as to
protect the world from future ag-
gression;tand second, it must pre-
vent an economic chaos such as
followed in the wake of World War I"
She emphasized the fact that this
security may be assured only if every
citizen is convinced that international
law must be maintained. "An inter-
national police force itself will not
be necessary if everyone recognizes
its aim," she said.
"England believes that this is a
generation of the common man," she
added," and it is the duty and privi-
lege of the United Nations to see that
the rights of the common man are
upheld in the post-war world."
Miss Courtney pointed out that
this will be possible only through very
close cooperation of all the Allies.
BUSINESS SCHOOL HEADS

No Liquor Advertising in Canada
OTTAWA, Dec. 16.- (P)- Prime
Minister Mackenzie King tonight an-
nounced a ban on liquor and beer
advertising in the Dominion for the
duration of the war.

THERE'S A LONG, LONG TRAIL:
Hitchhikers Face New Trials
Sin Four-Gallon-a-Week' Era

been
area

Hundreds of hitch-hiking students,
polishing up their pet thumbs, fear
that this year their mooched journeys
aren't going to be so easy to get.
The men of the road with long rides
ahead seem to be facing an impos-
sible task.
On the other hand, the consensus
of opinion seems to be that if the
goal isn't too far, they will get there
more quickly by means of the thumb
than the trains and buses.
Doug Aldrich, '45E, who went via
this method to and from Detroit Sat-
urday, said that he spent a total of
only 15 minutes waiting forarides, al-
though as was to be expected there
were few cars on the road. "Drivers
seem to realize the difficulty, and
they're much more willing to pick
up hitch-hikers," he said.
Going so far as to say that thumb-
ing is even easier than before, Al Rus-
kin, '45, said that he spent only five
minutes beside the road during his
trip to Detroit last week-end. Herman
J. Hudson, '44, echoed the statement,
saying that he has had "not much
trouble."
So far as going a great distance is
concerned, Louis Zeitz, '44E, thinks
it doesn't pay. He spent 36 hours on

the road going from Lakewood, N.J.
to Ann Arbr aftergas.rationing was
in effect in the east, although before
it had started here. The trip formerly
took about 24 hours. He explains that
in his case it's the long rides that
count, and drivers aren't going far on
four gallons a week.
A sentiment common on campus
was expressed by Bob Steele, '45E,
who said that he had taken it for
granted that thumbing had become
futile. Most of the fellows he knows,
he said, had "given up without try-
ing."

P-Bell to Reopen
on Christmas Eve
If Santa Claus can prove he is 21,
Philip Stapp, proprietor of the Pret-
zel Bell, will serve him the first stein
of beer because the State Liquor
Commission announced yesterday
that the Bell's liquor license suspen-
sion. will be lifted on Dec. 24-the
eve when old St. Nick makes his
rounds.
The Bell's license was suspended
indefinitely with that of the College
Inn on Nov. 30 for selling beer to
minors. Since then Stapp has ap-
pealed the commission's order twice.
Commissioners reported that he has
now offered a satisfactory plan for
identifying students under 21 by their
University identification cards which
show their ages.

Scrubbing brushes and dust rags

they take a half day off from classes

At an assembly last week the plan
was presented to the students, who
then returned to their homerooms
to vote on the measure. It was unan-
imously approved and also decided
to make the work compulsory.
