-- ~~~YTE iCiA iAi7 SUPERVISED STUDY: 24 Boys in Special Course Are Moved to Lloyd House In order to provide conditions of supervised study, the 24 boys enrolled in the integrated college war training program on campus will be moved into Lloyd House of-the west Quadrangle this weekend. The students will occupy the second floor and will live together as a unit according to Prof. Karl Litzenberg, Residence Halls Director. Said he, "These boys will all live on the same floor so that they can gain from a supervised living pro- gram. Their time for study, rest and recreation will be so divided as to provide the best results." Prof. Palmer Throop of the history department is acting as the academic director. Although the program lays stress on exact sciences-a broad lib- eral education will also be provided. When commenting on the program, Professor Throop stated "these boys will be counciled in American ideals and how technical studies have aided the development of American his- tory." They will be moved into their Lloyd House quarters this weekend and will be under the direct atten- Avukab To Hld Informal Party Following the pattern of Palestin- ian Sabbath' celebrations, Avukah, student Zionist organization, and Hil-. lel will jointly sponsor an "Oneg Sha- bat," starting at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Hillel Foundation. The "Oneg Shabat" is an informal party and will include a program of readings, group singing and group. dancing, as well as social dancing. Refreshments will be served. The party is open to anyone inter- ested and soldiers especially are in- vited. Avukah will hold a communal sup- per at 6:30 p.m. Sunday followed by an open meeting which will start at approximately 8:15 p.m. Miss Irene Salzman, member of the National Praesidium, executive body of Avu- kah, will address the meeting. Reservations for the supper may be made by calling 3779 before Saturday. Suppers are prepared by Avukah' members and served at cost. tion of Douglas Campbell, assistant advisor of Lloyd House, and John Bingley. Said one of the boys, "Although this program is tough, we feel that it will do us a lot of good. If it weren't for this arrangement, many of us would not have the opportunity to come to college." JACKETS: 1939 Program Covers Mak Windbreaker A Michigan alumnus in Iceland will soon be wearing a windbreaker jacket made from 20 program covers from his own 1939 graduation exercises. This jacket of blue leather covers, with the University of Michigan seal and "1939" embossed on each, is to be sent to Captain G. H. Bauer of the U.S. Army, who graduated from the medical school in 1939. It is being dis- played near the central desk at the Michigan League. Mrs. Nina Kellogg Dahlstrom, '35, a member of the Ann Arbor Wind- breaker Group, made the jacket and Mrs. Charles E. Koella, chairman, suggested sending it to a 1939 grad- uate. They discovered that Dr. Bauer was eligible and has been in Iceland for two years. The group has completed 862 jack- ets in two years. Each one represents eight hours of work and is made from used., automobile upholstery from a Detroit factory. They are sent to the English-Speaking Union in Detroit. From there they are forwarded to the Union's London headquarters in Dart- mouth House, which distributes them to English-speaking men of the Al- lied armed forces. The group has received letters from the men who commend the brown- colored windbreakers as being good camouflage apparel especially for dispatch riders. On March 24, the women will cele- brate the second anniversary of their organization, and they plan to finish 900 jackets by that time. Miles Bill Fails To Pass Senate ByT Sin le Vote Measure Would Abolish Elecive Of fice of State Highway Commissioner LANSING, Feb. 18.-P}-A bill to abolish the office of elective state highway commissioner failed to pass the Senate by one vote today and Re- publicans awaited the actions of Fri- day's Republican state convention to determine the further course of the legislation. The measure, which would have shifted control of the highway de- partment, capstone of the Democratic political organization, to Republican hands, was reconsidered and placed on the table whence it may be lifted at any time. There were indications that spon- sors of the measure could obtain an additional vote by accepting amend- ments to the bill, but opponents ar- gued that the convention may change the entire alignment on the measure. Those Senators contended that the convention's decision in picking a candidate for the highway commis- sionership may make the difference between reviving the bill and leaving it on the table for the remainder of the session. Two Senators, Joseph P. Cloon, Wakefield Republican, and Joseph A. La Framboise, Gladstone Democrat, did not vote for the bill. An affirma- tive vote from either would have been enough to pass it. Those who voted against the bill were Senators Baldwin, Carpenter, Delano, Howell, Logie, Munshaw, Ni- chols and Wood, Republicans, and Blondy, Diggs, McLaughlin, Nowak, Wilkowski and Youngblood, Demo- crats. At the last minute 12 Senators de- feated a move to attach a referendum to the bill, and the chamber rejected an amendment to give the governor power to appoint a single highway chief. The bill called for a three- member board. MlilitaryChiefs Flare at WPB Ire Aimed at Wilson, Nelson's Ace Assistant By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.- Antag- onism between the armed services and the War Production.Board boiled up anew today as the services awaited issuance of a drastic new order en- larging the civilian agency's control' over arms production. Feeling was so intense that one military official declared-but not for quotation py .name-that it appeared either WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson ultimately would have to quit or the Navy and War Department undersecretaries, James V. Forrestal and Robert P. Patterson respectively, would resign. The ire of those military chiefs, who command production and pro- curement policies of the services, was aimed chiefly at Charles E. Wilson, the new WPB executive vice-chair- man and at Wilson's sweeping pro- gram for WPB scheduling of muni- tions output. Nelson was not giving an inch, and tonight emphasized his stand by dele- gating to Wilson every iota of power which he himself enjoys, to be wield- ed subject only to Nelson's policies and directions. Nelson heaped on Wilson, by offi- cial order, the responsibility for all WPB units and functions which had not already been delegated to the tall, tough former president of General Electric Company. Even the office of Rubber Director William M. Jeffers was directed to re- port to Wilson instead of Nelson him- self, as were 16 other big and little operating and policy units of WPB. Nelson thus not only put all his chips down on the success of Wilson's program, but freed himself to fight what began to look like a determined campaign, spearheaded by the ser- vices, to oust him. Men interested in working on the Michigan Technic are asked to attend a tryout meeting today at 4:45 p.m. in 3036 West Engi- neering Building, Bill Jacobs, '43E, editor, announced yesterday. Abert E. Ennis (above), t .Don- nybrook, N.D., almost obtained the silver wings and sergeant's chev- rons of an aerial gunner in the Army Air Force gunnery school at Tyndall Field, Fla. before officers discovered he was only 14 years old. He will be discharged. Speech Bureau' to Give, Talks On War: Pl ans '25 Volunteer Students To Speak for Faculty Members' Approval Twenty-five students who. volun- teered their services to the Student Speakers' Bureau will give their talks on the war effort and post-war plan- ning before a committee of faculty members of the speech department for suggestions and approval the week of March 1, Nancy Filstrup, '43, chairman of the Bureau, said yester- day. Organized last October, the Bureau consists of volunteer student speakers with a Board of Direcgtors acting as coordinator of their activities. Dr. Kenneth G. Hance of the speech de- partment is faculty adviser. Herb Heavenrich, '44E, representa- tive of the Post-War Council, and Cecil Sink, '45E, Union representative to the Post-War Council, are working with the Bureau in completing or- ganization plans. The Bureau already has provided speakers for a special series of forum discussion at the Methodist Church to continue through April 11. Other suggestions being worked out by the Bureau include a symposium on "The University in the War Effort," con- ducted by Athena, a fifteen ;minute skit on "A Militarized Dormitory" to be presented by Zeta Phi Eta, and the, supplying of four speakers for the Office of Civilian Defense. These in- clude Marilyn Mayer, '44, Virginia White, '44, Shirley Raskey, '44, and Josephine Fitzpatrick, '44. Among the topics to be discussed by the individual volunteer speakers are "Education in the War Effort," "A Home in Every Town for Every Soldier," "Religion and Post - War Planning," "A Federal Union in a Post-War World," and,"Capital Pun- ishment." Members of the Board of Directors of the Bureau include representatives of the three honorary speech socie- ties, Athena, Zeta Phi Eta, and Alpha' Nu, the Post-War Council, the Union, and Dr. Kenneth G. Hance of the speech department. Oil Shortages Cripple < Axis' European Army, Says Prof. Landes The lack of oil, constituting one cf the major issues of the war, may lose the war for the European Axis, but it won't guarantee victory for the Allies over Japan, according to' Prof. Kenneth K. Landes, chairman of the geology department. In the Michigan Alumnus' Quar- terly Review, Prof. Landes scored these points in an article on "Petro- leum and the War." He pointed out that pre-war Axis domestic produc- tion was less than one per cent of the world'sl supply, and that the Euro- pean Axis hasn't done as well as Japan in the acquisition of new fields. In presenting some facts about oil as ammunition it. was pointed out that the Axis has increased its per- centage of the world's oil from less than one to about six per cent. Japan has more than it needs, while Ger- many is lacking. Concerning Japan, Prof. Landes be- lieves that "We will need to reconquer island after island in the southwest Pacific archipelago; and if that is the strategy followed, Japan will, no doubt, store. large quantities of oil before losing complete possession of the oil islands and thus will have several years' supply on hand." Prof. Landes termed the "scorched earth" policy in Rumania, Russian and Pacific island wells as delaying tactics only, as it is "practically im- possible" to ruin an oil field com- pletely. On Campus .. . I Highlight President Chosen Hugh D. Miller, '44E, was elected president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at a meeting Wednesday evening. Norman C. Jimerson, '44E, was cho- sen vice-president; Harry J. Franc- zek, '44E, secretary; and John J. Link- er, '45E, treasurer. Spanish for Adults The University Extension Service is offering Spanish classes to adults with a previous knowledge of the language. The classes will begin at 7 p.m. Monday in Room 106 of the Ro- mance Language Building. A class in Spanish for persons with no previous training began last night, and will continue throughout the se- mester. Prof. Julio de Toro will con- duct both classes. ASME To Meet The student chapter of The American Society of Civil Engineers will hold its next meeting at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19. The meeting will be held jointly with the Michi- gan Section of the ASCE. The' program .will begin with a banquet at the Lion, followed by the speaker of the evening, Doctor Esson M. Gale, Acting James O. Murfin Professor of Political Sci- ence. * * * The United States has earmarked 200,000,000 bushels of wheat, or about one-fifth of its present supplies, for feeding hungry peoples in lands the Allies hope to wrest from the Axis powers, it was learned today. Too Young IU' Professors Analyze War Problems in Quarterly Review SlComipromiises Needed For Indian Freedom, States Prof. Kraus A wartime plan for the settlement of India's demand for freedom, based on concessions by both the British and Indian leaders, is proposed by Dr. Wolfgang Kraus of the political sci- ence department, in the Quarterly Review of the Michigan Alumnus. Dr. Kraus suggests that Britain request the aid of a mediation board with American and Chinese repre- sentatives. This board should, with British approval, guarantee in the name of the United Nations post-war freedom for India in exchange for three pledges to be made by the In- dian party leaders. These pledges should be. according to Dr. Kraus, a promise by the Indian leaders to identify themselves uncon- ditionally with the cause of the Unit- ed Nations, to support an all-out war effort against Japan, and to suspend all major party controversies for the duration of the war. The United States and China should be included in the mediation board, Dr. Kraus believes, because this war has given bothanations a stake in India's present and future. Since Indian hopes for liberal poli- cies for their nation after the last war were never realized, the party leaders now do not wish to cooperate withu he British commonwealth, Dr. Kraus says. Failure of Sir Stafford Cripps' mis- sion to India in March, 1942, was primarily due, Dr. Kraus believes, to mutual distrust and misunderstand- ings which had grown up for years and could not be quickly wiped out. Schools Asked To Stress Music, Ari, Literature Pointing out the "tremendous op- portunities for the enlistment of arts in the war effort," the Education Poli- cies Commission of the National Edu- cation Association in a statement is- sued yesterday called upon education in the schools to stress stirring music, art and eloquent literature "to fight this war through to victory." Morale and unity are strengthened through the frequent and fervent singing of patriotic songs, the Com- mission emphasized. This type of mu- sical education should "provide cheer- ful 'send-off' songs for inducted men, participate in community parades and pageants and serve as a restorative and invigorating force in camps and hospitals, fields and factories." In asking the schools of America to encourage inspiring art during war-timetthe Commissionrecom- Mended that'the nation's ideals be portrayed in posters, emblems and window displays. The NEA also urged that the study of literature make its contribution by giving recognition to "eloquent, literary expressions of love of land and love of liberty." NOTICE. Several good parts are still open for the Spanish play, especially for men. All interested are urged to try out at 3 next Tuesday, Thurs- day and Friday in Room 312, Ro- mance Language Building, or to see Professor Mercado. MICHIGAN IN SPITE OF HITLER: Writer'Asserts German Morale Has Hit Lowest Level of War By EDWIN SHANKE Associated Press Correspondent STOCKHOLM, Feb. 18.- German: morale has, hit the lowest level Of the war, and it is questionable whether Hitler can lift it out of the depths as he has in the past with military vic- tories. People who have recently been in Germany, the Nazi press and Swedish newspapers confirm this view. Per- haps especially significant are reports of how heavily the terror of bombings is hitting the German people, and how wounded soldiers describe the "hell" on the Eastern Front and ex- press hope they won't have to go back. These sources give the following' picture of the causes of sinking spirits inside Germany and signs of Nazi uneasiness: Root of Gloom At the root of the gloom and de- pression are the rapidity with which Germany is being brought into the "front lines" through RAF bombings and the hardships of the Nazi 'con- ception of total war, the impact of heavy casualties, the drastic stripping of the war-weary Germans of every- thing. but the barest necessities on one hand and the merciless spur to - --- 1 new effort on the other, and shaken confidence in Hitler as a soldier- genius, especially among the soldiers, as a- result of military defeats. All this is against a backdrop sug- gestive of 1918. The Deutsche Allge- meine Zeitung recently carried the slogan, "Do the opposite from 1918." Although morale is bad, no crackup should be expected before a decisive .military defeat becomes plain to every German. In this connection it must be remembered always that the Nazis disarmed the Germans and wiped out 'the oppositional political leadership so effectively that there are no signs of. counter-organization in strength. Heinrich Himmler, Hitler's watch- dog, is taking no chances. A press campaign to draw recruits for his private army intended mainly for use during internal crises has been run- ning for weeks. He is releasing a po- 'lice and SS trops from clerical and other station work for the field by enrolling women. La ndwacht Established He sealed many loopholes in the. police -network by establishing the "landwacht" of several hundred thou- sands" strong for security of the homeland. This service is obligatory in addition to regular work, princi- pally for men who fought in the last war and now unfitted for military ser- vice. For years the SS has been quietly taking over strategically located stores and apartments in the cities for use as small arsenals and strongpoints in case of trouble. Now these precautions have been extended to the provinces at large. The SS is reported developing strong- holds in areas where trouble is most likely to occur, such as the Bohemia workers districts.
