Paper oni Steel
Emergency Alloys Are
Subject of Treatise
A paper on the "Machinability of
National Emergency Steels" by Prof.
0. W. Boston of the School of Engin-
eering is to be included in a pamphlet1
on the national emergency to be pub-
lished by the War Production Board.
"Emergency" steels are those alloys
which contain very little of such
scarce metals as nickel, chromium,
molybdenum and vanadium but
which have properties similar to the
steel alloys formerly produced which
contained larger amounts of thewe
metals.
It has been found that by using
scrap metal enough of these mater -
ials can be supplied to produce the
desired qualities in these "emergency",
steels.
The War Production pamphlet will,
attempt to give as much information
as possible to the manufacturers on
these steels so that they can develop
their own standards of heat treat-
ment andimachinery.

received a Boffey Memorial Award in
the 1942 N.A.P.A. Students' Contest.

An Allied convoy ship which has reached an Al rian port with
supplies is struck by bombs and left burning frcely during a German
air raid on the port. German bombers strike hard at convoys of North
Africa and in Algerian ports in an effort to cut off Allied supplies for
Tunisia. Damage done by such bombing is more than offset by Allied
bombing of Axis supply ships in the Mediterranean and of Italian and
Sicilian ports which supply Rommel's Afrika Korps.

The Clements Library has loaned
a manuscript copy of the Declaration
of Independence to the Library of
Congress at Washington, D.C., for
use in an exhibit there marking the
bicentennial anniversary of Thomas
Jefferson's birth on April 13, 1743.
Since Jefferson was largely respon-
sible for the drafting of the Declara-
tion of Independence, this exhibit
will include all of the available copies
of the document which are in this
country. The copy loaned by the
Clements Library is one that was sent
to Lord George Germain, British col-
onial secretary.
Dean Ivan C. Crawford, of the
I University's College of Engineering,
delivered the copy to Archibald Mac-
Leish, librarian of Congress, on Tues-
day of this week, while Senator Van-
denberg, of Michigan, witnessed the
ceremony.
The Clements Library also is pre-
paring a special Thomas Jefferson
exhibit which will be put on display
in the General Library on the Uni-
versity campus in about two weeks.

"Keeper of the Flame"

At the Michigan ...
Packed with the intrigue which
has long hung over North Africa,
"Casablanca" is now in the second
half of its week run at the Michigan.
Starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid
Bergman and Paul Henreid and fea-
turing a supporting cast of Claude
Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sidney Green-
street and Peter Lorre, names which
have become synonymous with mys-
tery, "Casablanca" was acclaimed by
the New York Times as one of the
ten best pictures of the year.
The plot of the film revolves about
the attempt of a famous European
refugee, Paul Henreid, to escape from
this North African city and the Ges-
tapo agents which infest it. "Casa-
blanca" was produced by Hal B. Wal-
[is and made under the direction of
Michael Curtiz.

At the State . . .
"Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant,"
starring Lionel Barrymore, is the
screen fare opening at the State
today.
With a supporting cast including
Van Johnson, Richard Quine and
Susan Peters, of "Random Harvest'"
fame, the picture is another in the
famous series dealing with the ad-
ventures of the crippled Dr. Gilles-
pie.
The story deals with the case of a
runaway bride whose strange ac-
tions baffle the doctor. Susan Peters,
as the runaway bride, is seen in a
role entirely different than those in
which she has previously performed.
Also featured on the program is a
uschnicolor film of the situation, "At
the Front in North Africa."
