Due to the offer of a tobacco com- pany to relinquish its profits, every five cents contributed to the drive will send a pack of cigarettes to some American serviceman abroad. Coin collection containers have already been distributed to all dor- mitories, sororities and fraternities, and for those who are not reached in this way, starting tomorrow and throughout the entire drive similar 'Share you Smoke" containers will be found at the Engineering Arch, the Diagonal and University Hall. Every student is urged to con- tribute not one, but as many nick- els as possible by one of these means. Turned over to Army and Navy ,service departments in 50carton- package lots, the cigarettes which we contribute will be, shipped by these departments to American fighting units overseas. The usual revenue taxstamp which seals cigarette packs, will be sup- planted by a red white and blue slip reading, "Good Luck, Good Smokdng-from-theMichigan Student Body, University of MTichigan, Ann Arbor." Of the $500 goal at which the drive it aimed, $250 will be asked of the Turn to Page 8, Col. 2 Reserves' Test Set Tuesday PAUL V. McNUTT . . .

Campus Aid Drives Bond Sales Upward U' Passes 75 Percent Mark of Given Quota As County Sales Spurt Interest in the bond drive is sweep- ing the campus-the elevator boy in the League sells a bond as he takes someone up, student associations di- vert money usually spent for social functions into bonds and faculty members convert all their spare cash into "insurance for the future." Last Lap Reached All of this has pushed the campus War Loan Drive to the last lap to- ward achieving its total. Yesterday when the figures were. added the University had filled more than 75 per cent of its quota. Figures, yes- terday, showed that the County had filled 65 per cent of its $638,000,000 goal. The sale of "E" Bonds is falling below the estimated amount for this series. The larger denomination bonds are filling the quotas. Mr. Warren F. Cook, head of the County Drive, warned that everyone must double his "E" bond purchases if "the drive is to succeed in safeguard- ing the nation against post-war in- flation." West Quad Invests Money usually spent by West Quad for dances and other social activities will buy bonds. Their council voted unanimously to invest $400 in gov- ernment bonds. Chief Residence Ad- viser Peter A. Ostafin said that the council had received the money from coke and candy machines and- that the purchase of bonds had meant cutting the West Quad's social life down to Spartan specifications. University Chairman of the bond drive, Gordon Griffith, advised, stu- dents and faculty members who were buying bonds to notify his commit- tee so that the University would be credited. Poles KillGerman STOCKHOLM, April 17-(/P)-The secret Polish radio in occupied Po- land reported today that a Polish underground soldier on April 9 had killed Kurt Hoffman, chief of the German Labor Office in Warsaw, and another official. FDR Orders Defense 'Job, Wage Freeze' 26 Million Workers Must Obey Ruling or Face Heavy Penalties By CHARLES MOLONY WASHINGTON, April 17.-(/P)- Acting under orders from President Roosevelt, War Manpower Commis- sioner McNutt tonight clamped a modified "job-wage freeze" order on about half of the nation's 52,000,000 civilian workers and made violations a criminal offense. His order, effective at one minute after Saturday midnight, just four hours after he announced it, was backed by penalties as great as a thousand dollar fine and a year in prison for violations either by em- employers or employes. Essential Workers Affected Directly affected are the 27,000,000 persons now employed in essential activities, including agriculture. These were forbidden to shift to a non-essential employer or from one essential employer to another at a higher salary or wage rate-de- termined on a pay-per-hour basis- unless they have been out of the first employer's pay for 30 days or more. An exception was made for shifts from one essential employer to an- other where either the old or new work is to be performed in an area where the War Manpower Commis- sion has put into effect on "employ- ment stabilization program," often described as a "job-freeze plan." May Shift If Released In these cases, the shift may be made for higher pay if the old em- ployer will release the worker or the War Manpower Commission grants the release itself on the ground that the old employment did iot make full-time use of the worker at his highest skill. Throughout the country, workers employed in non-essential activities can move freely to other non-essen- tial employers or essential employers who offer higher pay. Americans Hit Bre men Base At Heavy Cost LONDON, April 17.-(G)-Ameri- can heavy bombers, flying unescorted in strong force, smashed at the Ger- man Focke-Wulfe fighter plane fac- tory at Bremen today and shot down more than 50 enemy planes enroute, but the bold 800-mile round trip cost the United States an unprece- dented raid toll of 16 four-engincd craf-t. The renewed campaign to flatten Germany's armament industry also cost the British a record loss of 55 bombers last night out of a force of more than 600 attacking the great Skoda Works at Pilsen in Nazi-oc- cupied Czechoslovakia and the in- dustrial twin cities of Mannheim and Ludwigshaven on the Rhine. The Berlin radio immediately seiz- ed upon the opportunity to exploit what it termed "sensational German defensive successes," pointing out in a broadcast recorded by the Asso- ciated Press that continental ground defenses have "become a redoubtable adversary of the RAF." Gary Ghost Reported Alive In Jungle, Buddy Missing LIEUT. TOM HARMON Michigan's immortal grid star, reported missing in a jungle crash April 8, has made his way'to a South American air base, the Army dis- closed yesterday. Harmon was flying a bomber lettered 'Old 98,' tht number which he made famous on the football field. LIEUT. F. 0. WIETING . Lieut. Tom Harmon's buddy and co-pilot, of Lansing, who is believed to have been with Har- mon in the 'Old 98' when it crashed somewhere in the Brazilian jungle. No word as to his fate has yet been received by his attractive young wife, Mrs. Betty Wieting. *~ * * * * * 'OLD 98' COMES THROUGH AGAIN: Harmon Safely Escapes Jungle By LEON GORDENKER Somewhere at a South American air base, perhaps half-hidden by the jungle which meets the sea, Lieut. Tom Harmon was reported safe yes- terday. His big bomber -"Old 98"-had been missing since April 8, but the All-American halfback had made his way to an airfield from the Bra- zilian jungle. That news lifted the aura of sad- ness, of doubt and half-despairing thought that lay over his parents' home here since Wednesday when Harmon was'reported missing. I Parents Are Happy "We had almost given up hope for Tom when we found out he was safe," Mrs. Louis Harmon, his moth- er, said yesterday. She smiled happily when she told how at 8:30 a.m. yesterday she an- RETURN BAD MEDICINJ swered the telephone call which brought news of her famous son's1 safety. "It was pretty tough to think of Tom lost," Louis Harmon, his father, said. "But now I feel wonderful. I think it's the best news I ever had." Prayers Are Answered Mr. and Mrs. Harmon had just re- turned from receiving communion at St. Mary's Catholic Student Chapel which Tom attended as a student when they heard news of their son. It seemed to them an answer to their prayers. Soon after the word came Mrs. Harmon sent the following cable- gram to her son: "Thank God, you're safe. We're all so happy. We're all home together. I've talked to Elyse." Elyse is Elyse Knox, a motion picture actress with whom Tom's Men To Be For College Selected Training The qualifying examination for 100 Navy V-1 Reservists and 40 men in the Marine Reserve is scheduled at 9 a.m. Tuesday .in the Rackham Lecture Hall. This examination is the screening test originally announced under the V-1 program to select men for fur- ther college training. The examination will be given in two parts Tuesday. The first session runs for two hours beginning at 9 a.m. with the second portion running from 2 to 4:30 p.m. All reservists are asked to report promptly at each hour. This test is required of all men in the V-1 reserve who will have completed four college semesters by June 1. Men on higher academic level or pre-dental students are technically excused, according to a Navy bulletin received this week by the War Board. The Navy bulletin further urged that these excused men write the ex- amination of their own volition. In commenting on the order Bur- ton Thuma, armed service represent- ative said, "In the event that the Navy finds these men (registered pre-medical and pre-dental stu- Turn to Page 7, Col. 6 E: Tokio Bombing Amiversary Celebrated by America Today WASHINGTON, April 17.-(P)-A thrill ran down your spine a year ago tomorrow-remember? It was barely four months after Pearl Harbor, and things seemed pretty dark. That day's War De- partment communique told of fight- ing at Corregidor, Cebu, Panay, and, said, "There is nothing to report from other areas." But there was something to report. That day American fliers bombed Tokyo. Warred on Home Ground The United States had carried the war to Japan's home grounds. First reports of the raid came from the Tokyo Radio, and did not say immediately that the planes were American-but there was widespread belief a year ago that the aircraft must have been ours, and an inclina- tion to accept, for once, part of a Japanese broadcast. And Americans, saddened by the dark days of Philippine warfare, felt a thrilling surge of "Now we're giv- ing some of their own medicine." Confirmed Raid in May Not until May 10 did the War De- partment confirm that American planes made the raid. Nine days later Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle was disclosed as the leader of the venture. Even today many of the facts are not known-the Office of War Information planned to make the full story public this week-end or shortly thereafter, but Director El- mer Davis announced last night: Esson M. Gale of the political science department yesterday in commenting on the first anniversary of the Doo- little raid on Tokyo, April 18, 1942. On a govermnent mission to West China, Prof. Gale was in Chungking, China's war-time capital, at the time of the raid and had first hand and immediate knowledge of its effects.! Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has made a most urgent plea for im- mediate further aid, and said that' Free China is facing a more difficult situation than at any time since the beginning of the war in 1937, ac- cording to Prof. Gale. He said that there is a wide dif- ference between the policy of the State Department and public opinion in the United States on the question of aid to China. Turn to Page 8, Col. I 'Bachelor Sundays" Are Officially Out The Union will officially inaugur - ate today its new-born policy of "date-night Sabbaths." As a result of a recent Union Board decree, "bachelor Sundays" were stricken off the record in favor of permitting dates to use Union fa- cilities on Sabbath evenings. The Union boys gave it a tenta- tive trial on March 14. The trial name has been linked romantically. Her picture is on a desk in Tom's study.I Mr. Harmon reflected again the confidence that he had shown when Tom was announced missing. "Yes, if he was on land, I knew he had a chance, but I was afraid he had fallen at sea. I guess you just can't stop that guy," he said. Harmon Family Ilests The effects of sleepless nights and the turbulent emotions of losing and finding a son showed on the Harmon family. Even though the War De- partment had not yet officially notified them, Mr. and Mrs. Harmon went to bed to get the sleep they had missed since Wednesday night. Campus reaction came to the beautiful home Tog had built for his parents through the incessant jangling of the telephone. Tom's friends and admirers kept the line busy through the entire day asking for more news. One early visitor was Coach Fritz Crisler on whose teams Harmon played All-American football, "I knew that he would show up safe and sound," Crisler said. Mrs. Harmon disclosed that a let- Turn to' Page 2, Col. 4 Post -War Aims Discussed by%, Schoolmasters Michigan schoolmasters yesterday ended their three-day conference with a series of group discussions on educational problems resulting from war conditions. T. D. Rice, of Lansing, earmarked the main problem of post-war edu- cation to be a question of keeping our plan for the post-war world real- istic now, current to the lives of the students. Lois Waterman, of East Grand Rapids said, "It seems that the edu- cation we need for the post-war peri- od is the education we've been need- ing in the past years. There are four fundamentals for every work- able education system: students must have the facts before they can be taught to think clearly; they must be taught the difference between theirtconvittions and their preju- dices; teachers are obliged to analyze the four freedoms; and an under- standing of democratic procedures must be presented." Stanley E. Dimond, of Detroit; emphasized the need for community education. He added, "A great deal more time should be spent in the study of the period from 1914 to the Grid Star Is Found In Jungle Fate of Co-Pilot and Crew, Exact Location And Date of Bomber Crash Not Disclosed As excitement over the news of Tom Harmon's return to safety sub- sided, friends here in Ann Arbor as well as students who knew him only as the All-American gridiron hero await further details to fill the gaps in the story with a happy ending. Information released by the War Department in Washington did not reveal where he had crashed, or when, or where he was now resting. It said only that he had been found safe in a South American jungle. Fate of Crew Mystery The fate of the rest of the crew, including Lieut. Frederick 0. Wiet- ing, co-pilot on the football star's flight from the United States two weeks ago, was not disclosed. Meanwhile Wieting's attractive young wife, Mrs. Betty Wieting of Lansing and Charlotte, Mich., main- tained a telephone vigil last night hoping for word that her husband, like his flying mate, has survived the bomber crash in the jungle wilds of South America. Lieutenant Wieting and the former Betty Graves were married last July. Mrs. Wieting expects to become a mother "the latter part of July." I Army Investigates Crash Meanwhile, a board of Army offi- cers is investigating the cause of the accident. Harmon, 23 years old last fall, was All-American at' Michigan in 1939 and 1940. He enlisted In the Air Corps in November, 1941, was in- ducted in March, 1942, and received his silver wings Oct. 20, 1942. When Harmon crashed he was pi- loting a bomber with "Old 98" painted on its side. It was this same number that the Gary Ghost had worn on his jersey during three im- mortal years as Wolverinc halfback. Kiska Bombed 13 Times m Day Navy Reports Sccess In Sea and Air Battles WASHINGTON, April 17.-(P)-A new peak in the aerial campaign against Kiska-13 raids in a single day-was reported today by the Navy along with the sinking of five Japa- nese ships and the damaging of two more by our Pacific submarines. The underwater operations against enemy shipping brought to 148 the total of Japanese vessels the Navy has announced as sunk in the Pa- cific. In addition 24 have been prob- ably sunk and 42 have been dam- aged. Today's communiquelisted the definite Victims as one large supply ship, two medium-sized cargo ships, one large mine layer and one small patrol ship. Besides these a destroyer and a medium-sized transport were dam- aged. The communique said the ac- tions took place in "Pacific and Far East" waters. Both medium and heavy bombers struck 13 times Thursday in the campaign to keep Japan from con- verting Kiska Island into an Aleutian air base. They bombed the enemy's camp, runway and hangars. Numerous fires and explosions re- sulted from the raids, which cost attacking United States forces one heavy bomber.

Koch may be the modern miracle man of science to some people, but to doctors at the University Hotpital he has still to prove that his drugs-Glyoxylide and Benzoquinone - are all they're cracked up to be. Dr'. Koch, who is being tried in De- troit by the Government for misrep- which nothing else seemed to help, was improved, and even a condition of sugar diabetes was alleviated. To add to this, a doctor from Cali- fornia has stated that Koch's "Gly- oxylide" would restore the cauliflow- er ears of boxers to normal size and appearance, and Dr. Omer G. Hague of Winnipeg has maintained that the drug would expedite the growth no single drug known to medical science which is able to cure eye con- ditions and complications resulting allergy, infections or cancer,"-all of which Dr. Koch has claimed his drugs can do.
