French Club Lectures Will Start Today Prof. Dunham To Talk On French Post-War Economic Problems Prof. Arthur L. Dunham of the Department of History will give the first in the series of lectures spon- sored by the French Club at 8 p. m. today in the Assembly Room of the Rackham Building. The subject of Prof. Dunham's lecture will be, "Some Economic Problems of Post-War France." He will discuss first the problem of French agriculture, the French food supply and to what extent France can feed herself. He will explain how the decrease in the population of France may cause a greater settlement of for- eigners in the country than France would want. "France," says Prof. Dunham, "has the biggest supply or iron ore in Eur- ope but not enough of the right kind of coal to use it to advantage. The best coal is in the Ruhr and nature has intended that the French ore go to the German coal. Thus there is a problem of transportation." He will discuss' this question in his lecture today and also the problem of finding some way of preventing Germany from building up another iron indus- try for armament purposes. Tickets for the lecture may be se- cured from the Secretary of the Ro- mance Language Department or at the door at the time of the lecture. Storehouse Has Few Supplies Extinguishers, Paints, Tools Not Available "With many materials covered by priorities or off the market entirely, the Storehouse is finding it difficult to keep supplies on hand," stated O. E. Roszel, storekeeeper and buyer. Equipment using such war mater- ials as rubber, copper, and steel in wiring and other electrical and build- ing hardware has priority ratings. He explained that the University has been able to obtain some of this equipment for essential maintenance and repairs on the campus. High priority and requests for con- struction is necessary for any build- ing during war time. The plans for the additions to the automotive lab and ROTC building had to be re- Ylewed by the OPA before work could start. While plastic is being substituted bor metal in many .cases, there still remains only a limited amount of equipment that can be purchased. A small amount of supplies on hand, 30 to 90 days inventory, also curtails buying. Artitcles that are not on the mar- ket now include fire extinguishers, shellacs, some types of paint, scotch tape, and various tools. Morenthan 11,000 different items are on stock, Mr. Roszel revealed, ranging in size from pins and light bulbs to rolls of linoleum. Any item needed by two or more departments is ordered through the Storehouse with the exception offood and chem- istry supplies.

Police oubt Wilbert's Alibi GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 8.- (P)-Police Chief Frank J. O'Malley said today he was prepared to dis- prove the alibi which red-headed John Frederick Wilbert, charged with killing his father and grand- mother, claimed at Memphis would show he was not in Michigan when the shooting occurred.
