SPEAKS TOMORROW:
Adolf Hitler Is Unimpressive,
Finds Lecturer, T. R. Ybarra


"Adolf Hitler, as a person, is un-
impressive, decidedly not a man
you'd notice on the street."
That is the impression of T. R.
Ybarra, foreign correspondent and
lecturer, who is to speak at 8:15 p.m.
tomorrow in Hill Auditorium under
the auspices of the Michigan Orator-
ical Association.
On two occasions Ybarra has had
the opportunity of having personal
interviews with the Fuehrer, once
when he was merely Chief of an ex-
tremist German political party, and
later after he had gained control of
the Reich.,
Although the first interview was
unsatisfactory as it didn't result in
much information to the reporter, it
gave him an opportunity to study
Hitler at the beginning of his rise to
power.
At the second meeting Ybarra sug-
gested to Hitler that he speak just
as if he were addressing the Ameri-
can people.
"When he started to talk he be-
came a changed man, tense, voluble,
not unlike a revivalist preacher. I
can understand the spell his oratory
seems always to cast over Nazi audi-
ences. But there was nothing about
him to suggest that he might some
day *conquer most of the continent
of Europe and threaten the whole
world," Ybarra says. .
In an interview with Mussolini,
Ybarra found great contrast between
the two dictators. Il Duce received
him in impressive surroundings and
with a theatrical manner.
"Somehow," Ybarra says, "every-
one thinks of Mussolini as a big man.

That is the way he wants to appear
to his own people and to everyone
else. Actually, he's quite a small
man, little over five feet in height."
With a background of many years
in Europe and Latin America as for-
sign correspondent of the New York
Times ane former, European editor
of Collier's, Ybarra is an expert on
foreign affairs.
He is especially Interested in the
problems and events of Latin Amer-
ica, as he spent most of his childhood
in Venezuela, and has'written several
books on the subject.

First Army
Makes Slight
Gain in North
Important Ridge Near
Sedjenane Occupied;
Air Action Widespread
By The Associated Press
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, March 16.-Allied
troops supported by artillery have
driven back strong, armored enemy
patrols in the Gafsa area of the
Tunisian battlefront, the High Com-
mand said today, while 200 miles to
the north the British First Army
advanced slightly in the Sedjenane
area to occupy an important ridge.
The Allied communique also re-
ported widespread aerial action,
with blows against enemy airdromes
and shipping.
American guns supported French
troops in turning back the enemy
patrols advancing between Gaf*
and Metlaoui, 20 miles to the east,
and the action apparently meant the
Allies were maintaining their pres-
sure on the middle area of the Axis
corridor along the coast.
The French are consolidating po-
sitions recently won on that sector.
The British moved forward with-
out resistance to occupy forested
high ground southeast of Tamera in
the Sedjenane sector. German elite
troops had stoutly defended the
ridge against British attacks, but
then withdrew to new positions pro-
tecting the road to Sedjenane, a
town 40 miles west of Bizerte and
about 12 miles south of the coast.
The .British discovered the with-
drawal when they pushed forward
yesterday.
'Allied planes pounded the Mez-
zouna airdrome, 62 miles northwest
of Gafsa, in two raids within five
minutes yesterday, dropping bombs
among parked aircraft. In the first
attack, twin - motored Marauders
dropped fragmentation bombs the
length of the field among a dozen
enemy aircraft.
Mitchell Bombers swooped in min-
utes later and scored hits among 10
to a dozen more airplanes believed
to be Junkers 88's.
There was only patrolling by
ground forces in the Mareth Line
sector, the communique said, but the
western desert air force pounded
Axis transport lines.
Inter-Racial
Gathering Will

"Our Part in the War" will be the
subject of a symposium sponsored
by the Inter-Racial Association at
7:45 p.m. tomorrow at the Michigan
Union.

with the problems, contributions, and
post-war problems of various na-
tional and minority groups in the
war.
Speaker at the meeting will be Dr.

Syed Kadri, on India; Rabbi Jehu-
dah M. Cohen, director of the Hillel
Foundation, who will discuss the
Jewish group, and Rev. C. W. Car-
penter. Prof. A. K. Stevens of the
English department will act as
chairman.
Each of the speakers will give a
brief introductory talk dealing with
his respective group, and then the

cussion and questions from the floor.

In order to straighten out some of
the problems connected with provid-
ing religious leadership for men in
the armed services stationed here
on campus, members of the Ann
Arbor Ministerial Association met
with Army and Navy officers at a
dinner held Monday in the Union.
The Rev. Chester Loucks, as presi-
dent of the Association, volunteered
the aid of Ann Arbor clergymen in
working out a special religious pro-
gram for service men.
"Under more favorable circum-
stances," said Dr. Edward W. Blake-
man, counselor in religious educa-
tion, "both the Army and Navy
would supply chaplains for their
men. However, the authorities,
through the chief of chaplains, have
expressed the wish that each cam-
pus and the nearby community will
supply appropriate opportunity for
trainees to attend divine services
and secure religious counsel."
"Regular worship services and dis-
cussion groups, heretofore provided
for civilian students will be available
to all men in uniform," he added,

Ministers Consider j'lcjj p s
Program for U. of M. Soldiers,

"since the free time of trainees, in
geea, incudes Saturday afternoon
and Sunday."
It was also agreed that the cus-
tonmary religious census for students,
secured either by the University or
the participating branch of service,
would be made available at the office
of the counselor in religious educa-
tion, Room 215 Angell Hall.
For the convenience of the relig-
ious leaders and the officers and stu-
dents of the armed forces, the Inter-
Religion Council would perform the
liaison duties between the units, the
University and the government. To
date this group has included Rabbi
Jehudah Cohen, director of Hillel
Foundation. Father Frank McPhil-
lips of St. Mary's Catholic Chapel,
the Rev. Chester Loucks of the First
Baptist Church, the Rev. H. 0. Yoder
of Trinity Lutheran Church, Mr.
William Muehl, acting director of the
Student Religious Association, and
r. Edward W. Blakeman, counselor
in religious education.
About 40 attended the special din-
ner.

tions, in accordance with the all-out-
for-defense policy of the Ball Com-
mittee.

N umber ofI
Lost Articles
Increases
Maybe it's the general confusion
of these tumultuous times . . . or just
the weather . . . but the Lost and
Found Department reports that stu-
dents and soldiers stationed here are
losing their valuable and valueless
possessions at an accelerated rate
these days.
The situation would be relieved if
students would apply for their miss-
ing articles at Emma Anderson's desk
in Room 1, University Hall, or put
identification tags on all their pos-
sessions, since the owner is notified
if an object can be identified.
Finders who turn in these odds and
ends often discover that honesty
does pay materially. If no one ap-
plies for the lost article within 60
days, the department sends a claim
check to the finder, who then may
claim the goods.
Material, unclaimed by loser and
finder, is sent to the Social Service
Department at University Hospital
once or twice a year. Indigent pa-
tients may obtain the articles. Some-
times, a pencil is given as a prize to
a pupil in the hospital school.
Gloves, pens, pencils, an occasional
umbrella or hat, and similar small
articles make up most of the Lost
and Found Department's business.
