D Show To Be Held Soon Every Dog has His Day I UNDERGROUND JUSTICE French Patriots Mete Out Swift Justice to Pro-Nazi Traitors Try-outs for feminine speaking parts for Co. D's original musical comedy, "Rumor Has It," will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday in the USO ballroom. Because of necessary company bus- iness, try-outs for men's roles were changed to tomorrow which neces- sitated the postponing of women's try-outs. Any coed who was in the cast of "Tom Sawyer" and was therefore un- able to attend previous meetings may try-out from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday in the USO ballroom. Other women interested in parts in the show who have not yet had a chance to try out should also go to the USO from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday. Music for the show has been com- pleted and orchestrations have been started. The music was written by Pfc. Ken Pierson, and Pfc. Dick Tho- mas is doing the orchestrations. Lyr- ics are by Pfc. Jim Rhind. Featured musical numbers include a beguine, a waltz and a novelty number entitled, "A Coed's Life." Dottie Murzek, who has been ap- pointed dance directress, is working on three dance routines for the show. Last week approximately 200 coeds tried out for singing and dancing parts according to Pfc. Arty Fischer, director of the show. He said that it is important the coeds who want to be in the show have singing, dancing and speaking try-outs, and urged that all women interested in parts go to the USO ballroom at the scheduled times this week. Special instructions will soon be announced for coeds who are inter- ested in doing backstage work, such as makeup and costuming. Pfc. Fischer said that some job can be found for any coed who is inter- ested in working on the show and asked that all coeds watch The Daily for announcements of meetings.

He formerly was correspondent in Paris and vichy, and has wide connections throughout France. } NEW YORK, N.Y., March 16.- (I)-France's "Men of the Maquis" not only are fighting their country's internal battles against German oc- cupation troops and their Vichy sup- porters, but have launched a new campaign of common law punish- ment of known violators of moral and criminal laws. This new development in the French underground campaign has been made necessary by the disrepute into which the French Vichy police have fallen. The common man in France today has lost confidence in a force which has shown itself in- creasingly unable to deal with the wave of crime set off in France by the scarcity of food, clothes and money caused by the German occu- pation. One of the most startling phases of this new development of the partisan organizations is that of the "Men of the Maquis"-French patriots who have taken to the woods to fight the Vichy collaborationists - execute summary justice on any woman found associating with Nazi occupa- tion troops. The punishment is varied to fit the case. The most usual punishment for Co. C Has Party Company C will hold a farewell party Monday night, March 20, at the Pretzel Bell. Entertainment will be provided by the men within the company., Col. Frederick C. Rogers, comman- dant, Post staff officers and the oth- er Company officers, have been in- vited to attend., Co. D To Hold Done Scheduled for next Friday night is' the Company D dance to be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Michigan League. . A committee to arrange the details" for the affair has been appointed by+ Capt. Charles P. Atkinson, company; commander, and it is already hard ata work. Music for the dance will be; provided by Bill Sawyer and his band.1 an unmarried girl known to be friendly with German soldiers is for her to be kidnapped by a terrorist band from the Maquis, have her head half shaved and then be turned loose in the streets of her home town as an object of scorn. A married woman will have all the hair shaved off her head, while wo- men whose husbands are war prison- ers in Germany often are sentenced to death by a firing squad and the bodies left with warning cards pinned to the breast. The hair shaving 'sentence is also frequently-carried out on women who have husbands in war prison camps for too friendly relations with other Frenchmen. In such cases exe- cution of the sentence is usually de- layed until the well-organized under- ground has been able to communi- cate with the husband and obtain his approval, which is generally forth- coming. The Vichy .government, through its controlled press, has made deter- mined efforts to discredit the entire partisan movement by listing ordi- nary crimes as the work of the par- tisans. To combat this, the "Men of the Maquis" have created their own spe- cial police who operate against known criminals. In some cases they have even raided French prisons and wrested criminals from the French police who were holding them. Pfc. Morton J. Schussheim of Com- pany D has been formally commend- ed by General H. S. Aurand, Com- manding General of the Sixth Ser- vice Command, for his suggestion in the recent "Think to Win" compaign. General Aurand expressed his ap- preciation and commendation to Pfc. Schussheim by letter and stated that his suggestion had been forwarded to Washington for further considera- tion. This letter of commendation re- ceived by Pfc. Schussheim brings the total received by members of this command to three. The other two be- ing received by Captain Samuel Reiz- man of Company G, and Sgt. Rich- ard Mathews of the Army Headquar- ters. r G .:. ::. :::.:: . ti::t; .. rv:...; ... ... } { f; j , .. n J. 1 S ; : ja Mpg, i4ANRlit3 R.

D's forthcomingf musical comedy is planning some changes in casting. There is no basis for such statements and on Wednes- day of this week tryouts for coeds will be continued . . . the delay was caused by important company busi-I ness which prevented the men's try- outs from being held over the week-' end. Birth Announcement: Two goldfish had been swimming around in a cam- ouflaged tank in a room at East Quad. Now there are three. The re- cent addition is quite big and the owner is worried because visitors castI hungry glares at his brood. Show Business: As predicted, Saw- yer's show "Tom" went over with a bang . . . Despite criticism the gen- eral opinion is that the music was typically American and a great job at that . . . Nice going . . . Could be that Life Magazine had a reporter and cameraman covering the show. Higher Education: Yesterday at 2:00 P.M. in Angell Hall a lecture was given on '.Math in Scotland, Before 1700 A.D." . . . Imagine the revela- tions that might have been unfolded We're breathlessly awaiting a lecture on, "Organic Chemistry in Java, Before 1300." Stork Cas nR Army Families Anything can happen in an Army Headquarters, and most everything does happen. In the past few months the "Stork" has visited the 3651st S. U. Headquarters on numerous occa- sions. The following personnel have become proud parents by these visits: Capt. and Mrs. Ross B. Zartman, a daughters, Capt. and Mrs. Samuel Rizeman, a son, Capt. and Mrs. Will- iam H. Cooper, a son, Sgt. and Mrs. Jack Robinson, a ion, and the new- est arrival being a son born to Sgt. and Mrs. Richard B. Mathews.

He was sired by Gun- ;fner, t e Navy's mascot on campus, and is rumored to be the original son of a gunner. Fletcher Basker- vill I was one of the most pupular ones in the com- pany and had be- come proficient in several languages, profane and mundane. He acquired the first part of his royal title because he was quartered at Fletcher Hall. The second part came from the "Hound of the Bas- kerville" and the I because he is the first and only dog ever to hold such a distinguished name. Fletcher hangs around the USO al- most every evening.
