Student Scripts
Considered by
lue Network
The Blue Network, located at
Rockefeller Center in New York, re-
cently informed Prof. Waldo Abbot
of the speech and broadcasting de-
patiments, that it has for some time
been considering the possibility of a
drama series in which only student-
prepared scripts would be used.
The letter suggested that among
the radio writing students at least
one or two scripts, which would
measure up to professional require-
.ments, could be submitted. It was
requested that comedy writers also
submit material of that nature.
If the contemplated series of dra-
mate programs materializes, the Blue
Network will need a backlog of
material to cover a period of at least
13 weeks. Even if the series does not
materialize, it will always be possible
to use the same scripts on other pro-
gram series carried by the network.
It is requested that the scripts be
either a half hour or 15 minutes in
length. They must also be original;
adaptations of other programs are
not wanted. All scripts which are
used will be paid for by the Blue
Network.

Strange Symbols on Bulletin
Boards Mystify U' Students

Students were mystified yesterday
by the appearance of strange sym-
bols, resembling a class in calisthen-
ics, which were posted anonymously
on the campus bulletin boards yes-,
terday.;
Theories have been advanced by a
number of authorities in an attempt
to explain these cryptic missives,
though apparently with little success.
One baffled coed suggested that an
inmate of Eloise had escaped recent-
ly and was on the loose around the
campus. Another attitude, usually
offered with the tongue in the cheek,
is that they are a code worked out.
by Nazi saboteurs bent on the de-
struction of Angell Hall.
P;rhas Language Students
It is also possible that the hiero-
glyphics are the product of frustrated
Army language students.
Students of egyptology that were
interviewed concerning the matter
had obviously been deeply impressed
by the symbols displayed, one even
going so far as to state that they'
bore a curious resemblance to certain
footnotes on the frmed Rosetta
stone, though he added that they

seemed to have been considerably
corrupted by modern usage..
It seems unquestioned that the
notes are the product of an intelli-
gent and crafty mind, a number of
students have said, particularly in
view of their careful execution and
their systematic placement on the
campus.
Perhaps Triangles
The suspicion that the colored slips
were due to the machinations of
Triangles, junior honorary engineer-
ing society, was disproved late yes-
terday when a high official in the
organization disclaimed any know-
ledge of them.
The general opinion was that the
campus should maintain a stoic calm
and await further developments.
MYDA To Hold

Fascism i nU.S. Will
Be Topic of Discussion
Fascism and its manifestations in
the United States will be the topic of
a panel discussion to be held by the
Michigan Youth for Democratic Ac-
tion at 7:45 p.m. today in the Union.
Also included on the agenda for
the meeting will be a brief presenta-,
tion of MYDA's program for the
spriig semester and entertainment
by members of the social committee.
Speaking on fascism will be: Mor-
ris Huler, "Fascist Elements in the
United States;" Lee Hunn, "Peace

jeligious Leader Will
Review Studies of
Late Social Problems
Dr. Edward W. Blakeman, chair-
man of the research section of the
International Council of Religious
Education, will present a review of
significant studies made on educa-
tion, youth problems, religion and
the family at a nation-wide confer-
ence being held today through Sat-
, urday in Chicago.
, Included at the conference will be
leaders who coordinate the religious
education being carried on by 42 of
the larger Christian bodies
The aims of the conference will be
twofold. First, the delegates will dis-
cuss what is being done in the vari-
ous fields throughout the country.
Second, they will recommend neces-
sary revisions in the programs al-
ready set up.
All the religious denominations
represented in the International
Council have schools both in Ameri-
can and in foreign countries. Re-
ports will be made by the leaders of
the major sections, including leader-
ship training, college religious edu-
cation, research and leadership of
executive type-state secretaries of
councils, pastors, editors of religious.
curricular materials, finance and de-
nominational leaders.
In the section of research, led by
Dr. Blakeman, one of thne reports will
be on "Group Experience of Youth."
This study was carried on by Dr.
Hedly Dimock of the teaching staff
of the USO in New York City. Dr.
Blakeman will discuss the patterns
by which civilian chaplains are min-
istering to Army and Navy trainees
at the various universities from coast
to coast.
The program Thursday, Friday
1 and Saturday will pertain to the
plans for the further amalgamation
of five international religious bodies:
the Federal Council of Churches, the
Home Missions Council, the Foreign
Missions Council, the International
Council of Religious Education and
the Women's Council of Churches in
America.v
Among the specialized problems to
be discussed by representatives at
the conference will be the "Christian
Curriculum" to be used by the vari-
ous Protestant bodies in local schools,
the methods of "Teacher Training"
in these bodies, "Week-Day Reli-
gious Education," the "Methods and
Program for the Prevention of De-
linquency," the "Relation of the
Home Churches to Missionary Chur-
ches Cut Off by the War" and "Re-
ligion and the Family."
The delegation from the state of
Michigan for the church at large is
headed by the Rev. J. Burt Bouwman
of Lansing.
Green Appeals to Unions
KANSAS CITY, Feb. 7.-(P)--Wil-
liam Green, president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, made a
fervent no-strike appeal to unions
today, calling on American workers
to "give all we got" to the war effort.
He asserted there can be no "justifi-
cation or excuse for any strike or
stoppage of work" with the lives of
our fighting men and victory in the
balance.

By DORIS PETERSON
"A slight of the hand is not a case
of the hand being quicker than the
eye, but the science of misdirection-
misdirected thought," Blackstone, the
magician who is now appearing at the
Michigan Theatre, said in an inter-
view Sunday evening in his dressing
room.
"Success is the result of hard work
and plenty of it-plus confidence.
Some tricks have to be worked on for
years before they can be perfected,"
he added.
Blackstone recently completed an
11-months tour of Army camps for
the USO. During this time he visited
163 camps and entertained about
1,300,000 personnel which is more
than any other living performer.
Since the war started he has been in
such places as Africa, Sicily, New-
foundland, Iceland and Guadalcanal.
"Often I got to places where
theatres had not yet been built.
At such times we put on our show
in the back of wagons or in any
other place available. I went along
with the engineers right after Pearl
Harbor and entertained the men,"
he said.
In about six weeks he is scheduled
to go on a tour as an ambassador of
good will to the United Nations. The
show will open in Mexico, then go
through South America and from
there to all the African and English
bases.
Before the war it was possible to
take a show all over the world. Such
Pollock Urges
Responsibility I
For Germany
Prof. James K. Pollock stressed
that Germany should be made to
assume responsibility in a speech he
gave Sunday in the International
Center.
He said it is not "the German prob-
lem;" Germany is rather the "king-
pin in the whole European edifice."
He said that the question of boun-
daries is not the basic problem, that
Germany shuld not be dismembered,
however.
Use Military Government
He said the Germans should first
feel our might completely, then
should be governed by a competent
military commission dring the peri-
od of transition. He suggested that
this period might last from two to
five years and that the Germans
would respond in time.
He stated that he doesn't believe
that the possibility of reviving demo-
cratic institutions or of re-educating
the German people are hopeless, but
he added that no "sweet little school-
marms" should be sent to impose
their ideas on the Germans. But he
said that the history of the last 11
years should be taught to them and
they must be made to feel that
through their Nazi leaders they were
responsible for this war.
Withdraw Unnecessary Forces
He continued saying that all the
forces not necessary to keep should
be withdrawn after the period of
transition and only a small occupa-
tion force should be left to support
the international authority which
would have been established.
But through it all, he said, our
prime purpose should be to help the
German people to do the job them-
selves-to develop responsibility 
Prof. Pollock was introduced by
Dr. Hans Wolff, who said we must
fan hatred between the German peo-
ple and the Nazis, that the treatment
of the Nazis must be harsh to keep
the Germans from being thrown into
the arms of the Nazis,

From V-12 Unit Here
Lt. George J. Jennings, who has

welfare officer with the Navy V-12

Arbor to report for duty at a new
station, Navy headquarters an-
nounced yesterday.
The Navy also said that Lt. Ray-
mond Moore has been detached from
the V-12 unit here and ordered to a
new post. He reported for duty at
the University last July and was edu-
cation, battalion and commissary of-

a tour would take about two years.
Now, however, Blackstone finds that
he can cover the high spots in this
country in one year and therefore
he has to make up twice as many
shows.
Blackstone may have no difficulty
in lifting things from other people,
but he does have trouble in keeping
track of his own property. When he
was in Lancaster, Pa., a couple of
small boys stole his magic wand. The
boys were caught, but they did not
have the wand with them. After
questioning they admitted that they

had taken it, but had thrown it in a
mud-puddle. " was a fake," they
said.
Wallet Is Stolen
A week ago his allet was stolen
in Lansing and in Flint last Wednes-
day someone took a mechanical bas-
ket of flowers. "I like to keep track
of where things disappear to," he
said.
"A group of college boys framed
me recently. When I asked for a
volunteer from the audience to
come up on the stage, one of these
college kids came. I proceeded
to lift his billfold and various other
things. As I started to walk across
the stage the billfold fell out of my
ixcket. The boy had attacked fish
line to this, to his fountain pen an4
to all his other belongings. It was
long eiwugh so that it didn't have
any effect until I started to move."
Blackstone has been a magician for
over 30 years. During this time he
has had many famous people work-
ing for him. In 1914 Edgar Bergen
worked for him for a couple of weeks.
C. O. Cotten, Hoover's campaign
manager, was with Blackstone for
one season. George Brown, who is
now in jail for getting two and a
half million dollars out of the motion
picture industry, was also a member
of the cast at one time.
Sgt. Robinson
Replacels Sgt.
Fischer in Co. A
Sgt. Jack Robinson has replaced
Sgt. Ivan M. Fischer as first sergeant
of Co. A. Sgt. Fischer is leaving Ann
Arbor today for a two-week furlough,
after which time he will return to
Ann Arbor and await orders to report
to some field for preliminary avia-
tion training.
Sgt. Robinson has been stationed
in Ann Arbor since Dec., 1942. He
came here as"mail and file clerk of
the ROTC. Since then he was mail
clerk and then personnel sergeant
major of the 36a51st S.U. At the time
Co. A first arrived on campus, he was
assigned to the company as a clerk
in the office. He served in this
capacity for about two months. At
that time, only a year ago, he was a
private.
Sgt. Fischer has been stationed in
Ann Arbor for about three years,
He came here as an instructor in the
ROTC course. He has been first
sergeant of Co. A since its formation
over a year ago.
On Saturday he was presented
with a sterling silver cigarette case
and money for a travelling bag as a
going-away present.

VICHY, HJEIA DE GAULIls :
U.S. Poicy Towrard France Is
Mistake ' Professor States

By MARJORIE JACKSON I

one which has brought about unsatis-
factory results," Prof. James K. Pol-
lock of the political science depart-

ment stated in a recent interview.
He strongly believes that our re-
cognition of the Vichy government,
and our whole policy in North Africa
showed poor judgment in our State
Department. "We should long ago
have given full recognition to Dc
Gaulle's government. This is a vital
step that should be taken in our
preparation for the approaching in-
vasion of the continent."
DeGaulle Is Symbol
"General De Gaulle is the leader of
the only organized movement on
which we can depend for active sup-
port. General Giraud has shown
that he has public support. De Gaulle
has the people's loyalty and confi-
dence. He is also the symbol of
French resistance, and the one with
whom we can work to help restore a
forceful and democratic government
in France."
"The French National Committee,
which both De Gaulle and Giraud
support, is not a puppet organization,,
but a strong and influential force,
uniting the Frenchmen fighting op-
enly or in the underground for the
liberation of France. This commit-
tee in Algiers is the only government
representing the underground move-I
ment in France with which we can
collaborate."
Russia Recognizes Committee
Russia has given full recognition
to De Gaulle, but the United States
and Britain have thus far refused
complete recognition. Prof. Pollock
paid that the reasons for this stand
are not too clear. He stated, "Thej
