For the next two months much of this fight may be centered behin.d the scenes in Southern states. Many Re- pniblican leaders there have long-' time ties, dating back to President Taft's administration, with Ohio party leaders and there was strong support from Southern delegates for Senator Taft of Ohio for the Republi- can nomination in 1940. On the other had, friends of Wendell L. Willkie alrady have been actively seeking Soutle rn support for him in the 1944 convention. The Ohio governor announced at a Chicago press conference today that "I will definitely enter the Ohio primaries as a Republican presiden- tial candidate." The primary is May 9. He is the first potential candidate to announce formally his intentions. But Willkie has made it perfectly clear that he is seeking the nomina- tion. HeaIth Conference Stresses Training The Inter-American public health - Nazis in Italy nLaunch Fierce a Counterattacks Heavy Loss Suffered f In Desperate Attempts s To Stop Allied Advance By The Associated Pressr ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN ALGIERS, Nov. 10.-Under orders to hold their present Italian line at all costs "for at least eight weeks," Ger- man forces are launching savage r counterattacks against American in- fantry and massed artillery in the mountainous Venafro area, the Al- lied command announced today. The reinforced Nazis hurled nine furious but unavailing charges against the frostbitten Americans within 24 hours in a desperate effort r to check the Allied advance on their new Garigliano River-Sangro River positions. Each time they were thrown back with heavy casualties by Lt.-Gen. Mark W. Clark's fighting doughboys and by terrific artillery barrages that ripped up the moun- tainsides. The weather seriously cut down on the activity of Allied fighters and fighter - bombers over thesbattle' front, but heavy Flying Fortresses and Liberators of the new 15th Army air force battered a ball and roller bearing works at. Villar Perosa, near Turin in northern Italy, and the Ansaldo steel works, docks and rail- ways at Genoa, Italy's leading port. The Villar Perosa plant was thought to be the last in Italy turning out bearings for the Nazi war machine.- Documents taken from captured1 Germans confirmed that the enemyl has picked his present front across Italy, some 70-80 miles from Rome,4 as a "winter line" and has ordered it] held at 'all costs for ".at least eight weeks."

The Social and Cooperative Com- mittees deal with social affairs and other campus activities while the group on public relations offers the Parrot Cafe Must Close, Temporarily Cafe Fails To Meet Health Department Sanitary Requirementsj Because it failed to meet the sani- tary requirements of the Health De- partment, the Parrot Cafe, campus "hangout," was closed yesterday pending a general clean-up. "In a mutual agreement between the proprietor, Richard Dick, of De- troit, and the Health Department, the Parrot will be closed for an in- definite period to permit the restaur- ant to meet sanitary requirements," Harold Barnum, Chief City Sanitar- ian, said last night. The move came as a result of Barnum's inspection of the Parrot yesterday afternoon. The Health Department had sent a warning to the Parrot six weeks ago, stating that the restaurant would have to close if conditions did not improve. Barnum stated that the chief ob- jection was the insufficient supply of hot water for sterilization of dishes. "The closing order is of a tempor- ary nature, and will remain in effect until the Parrot can pass the City, health requirements for public eat- ing places," Barnum said. The Parrot will remain closed until an auxiliary heater can be pur- chased," Mr. Dick, Parrot proprietor, said yesterday. "During the time the Parrot is closed," Dick added, "we will try to make the restaurant the clean- est one in Ann Arbor. At the pres- ent time, we have 30,000 paper cups:on order. We will guarantee complete sanitation in all fountain orders." The closing of the Parrot was a step on the part of the Health De- partment in a drive toward more sanitary conditions, in Ann Arbor restaurants, Barnum concluded..

COEDS NEED PURPOSE: Dean Lloyd Stresses Proper Conduct to Freshman Women By ADELE RHODES " A purpose in life at college, with leadership and initiative to carry out that purpose," was the formula given to freshmen women last night by Miss Alice C. Lloyd, Dean of Women. Delivering her regular semester ad- dress in the Rackham' Auditorium; Miss Lloyd impressed 'upon the new' students the need for- broper conduct on campus, "so that upoh le'aving the University of Michigan, all may know it will be a better place for those that follow because theyhaive been here. Miss. Lloyd cited her three years' work in a Detroit juvenile court, deal.- ing with underprivileged children. She declared that while those young men and women brought into court had some excuse for their behavior, the college woman came from a priv- ileged group and had no reason for cheap actions. "I do not want to hear of college women using profanity and otherwise behaving badly in the com- pany of men." Dress Too Casual Adding that she could not regulate and set definite standards on_ cam- pus, Miss Lloyd stated that within the last few years Michigan women Lecturers Will Donate Fees To War .reliefs Two of the lecturers who will be heard in the 1943-44 University of Michigan Lecture Course plan to give the entire sum which they re- ceive for their platform appearances to aid those less fortunate than themselves. Congressman Will Rogers, Jr., who will open the Oratorical Association series on Nov. 18 with a speech on "The United States in Foreign Af- fairs," will donate the money he re- ceives for this speech to the Army- Navy Relief. China War Relief will receive the money paid Madame Wellington Koo, wife of China's Ambassador to Eng- land, for her appearance at Hill Auditorium. Madame Koo, who has accompanied her husband to the capitals of many of the great nations and who has spent many years in the service of her beloved China, will lecture on the subject "What China Is Fighting For." First-hand information on the sit- uation in other parts of the world will be presented by Pulitzer Prize winner Leland Stowe, Burton Holmes, seasoned traveler and vet- eran travelogue lecturer, Louis Loch- ner, former chief of the Berlin bur- eau of the Associated Press, and Ful- ton Lewis. Jr., noted news commen- had gone to the extreme in casual dress, compared with the over-dress- ing during the 1920's. She suggested that the freshmen women,,and others too, "strike a middle course in dress". for the all-around good appearance of the campus. She mentioned that conduct con- cerning drinking and smoking at col- lege had .changed much since.she at- tended the University. She emphati- cally stated that it was not necessary to dihk in order to be popular and that many men actually preferred that their dates did not drink. For those who smoke, she stressed the point that they should be more care- ful about putting out their cigarettes. Miss Lloyd said, "Women are more careless than men in smoking," and added that eight of eleven fires at the University last year were caused by women. One-Third Go Sorority Although she declared that she would not recommend any certain sorority, she said, "If you do not make a sorority, it is no personal dis- grace. The girls may want you to join their group, but a quota of 60 members has been set for each sor- ority. Actually, only one-third of women students are affiliated with them." Reiterating that it is the patriotic duty of all to remain healthy, es- pecially during these times, Miss Lloyd advised the freshman women not to become too tired by their var- ious activities. At the same time, though, she requested that they im- mediately report illness at the first signs so that the health of other girls would not be endangered. She also said that they should keep up in their studies, and should take ad- vantage of the educational opportun- ities here. Ypsi Schools Granted .Funds Ypsilanti School District No. 1, swamped with the arrival of children of war workers at the Bomber Plant, has been granted nearly $300,000 in Federal Aid funds, part of which is expected within two weeks, Malcolm B. Rogers, superintendent of schools .in the district, was notified Tuesday. The schools which the federal funds will be used to administer are located in the Willow Run area, most of the enrollment coming from the children of war workers living in the Federal Housing project, according to Rogers. "The normal enrollment of 200 stu- dents has increased to approximately 1,500 at the present time," Malcolm +.qefepl vp et rlrr 'hp -+' prlpr i. Second Choral' . Union Concert To Be Monday Marian Anderson, World Famed Artist, To Present Program Marian Anderson, world famed contralto, will present the second, concert of the Choral Union series at 8:30 p.m. Monday in Hill Audi- torium. Since 1935 when she returned to her native America, Miss Anderson has traveled more than a quarter of a million miles through 43 states to sing 800 concerts. These took place in 325 cities before three million people. Invited by DAR Earlier this year Miss Anderson. was tendered an invitation by the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to sing in Concert Hall. The singer donated her first concert there to the United China Relief. In May, she paid her first visit to Mexico, where the people demanded that she add two to the scheduled four con- certs in Mexico City alone and bought out all the tickets two weeks before her first performance. Miss Anderson was born and reared in Philadelphia. Her father sold ice and coal and Mrs. Anderson, an ex- school mistress from Lynchburg, Va., helped by taking in washing. Aided by Church At six Marian appeared publicly in a duet with another little girl in the Union Baptist Church singing "The Lord Is My Shepherd." At eight she earned her first concert fee of fifty cents. After Miss Anderson completed her high school course, the people of her church collected nickels and dimes into a fund for her future musical education. A scholarship was given her by Mrs. Mary Saunders Patter- son with whom she studied for nearly a year. Then, under the auspices of the Philadelphia Choral, Society, the young singer gave her' solo concert.

It is reported that the Ma- rines there have been reinforced by the landing of United States Army troops. * * Marines Have IBougainv ille 'Well in Hand' MacArthur Estimates Half of Enemy Force Dead in Decisive Battle By The Associated Press SOUTHWEST PACIFIC ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Thursday, Nov. 1.- United States Marines again have the situation "well in hand" on Bougainville after killing an esti- mated half of the Japanese force which landed north of their beach- head, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's spokesman said today. The Japanese were beaten decis- ively two days ago in a battle fought along the Laruma River four miles north of the Marine invasion psi- tion of Cape Torokina on the west- central coast of Bougainville. Only the, day before the first large scale Japanese air attack on the Marine beachhead had resulted in heavy losses to the raiders. Report Troops Landed (An NBC correspondent, broad4 casting from Guadalcanal was quot- ed Wednesday in dispatches from New York as reporting United States Army troops have been landed on Bougainville to support the Marines, presently battling the Japanese on both sides of Empress Augusta Bay.) General MacArthur's headquarters reported today that the Marines had killed 150 Japs in their latest clash with enemy forces which put ashore north of the beachhead from barges Sunday. This clash occurred Tuesday and a spokesman for General MacArthur estimated the enemy losses amount- ed to half of the enemy landing force. American losses were light. Jap Losses High (Admiral Halsey's Headquarters in previously detailing actions Sunday after the barge-borne Japs landed said enemy losses that day amounted to more than 125.) Since the Marines first landed on Bougainville more than a week ago, it is estimated that more than 300 Japanese have been killed in the sec- tor. Soldier Is Shot As Rifle Fires In Moving Auto Cpl. Robert J. Dunn of Milan, on leave from Fort Jackson, S.C., was seriously injured early yesterday af- ternoon when a .22 caliber rifle held between his knees discharged as he was riding in a mercantile truck in Milan. Pfc. Harold Landon of Milan, on sick leave from Camp Claiborne, La., driver of the truck, told County Prosecutor Frank Kammon that he and Cpl. Dunn were driving to the home of Jack De Vee, who was home on furlough from the Navy. As the truck turned into the driveway, Dunn said suddenly, "I'm shot." Landon had not heard the shot. De Vee got in the truck and held Dunn upright. They drove to Dr. DeTarr of Milan and then brought TDunn tn St .Tosenh's Tgnita.1 here Union Chief Lays Trouble To Company More Thian 1,000 Are Involved; Negotiations Pend Return to Work Workers on the midnight shift at the Willow Run bomber plant failed to show up for work last night as the wildcat strike begun Tuesday in the fitting machine and die-setting departments threatened to spread to other sections of the plant. "Past and present policies of the Ford Motor Company make it Im- possible for me to guarantee that the men will wok," Glenn Bray- ton, president of Local 50 UAW (CIO) stated last night. "There is a point past which no man will work." "The flouting of government' poli- cies coupled with a tremendous num- 'ber of disciplinary layoffs every day has brought the men to a smoulder- ing point," he declared. Company Foments Situation "The company has been attempt- ing reciprocal horse-trading with the union in promising wage increasesif classification changes of light and heavy presses are permitted, thus fomenting an already critical situa- tion," he said. Combined efforts of Brayton, Wil- liam McAuley, regional director and Richard T. Leonard, Ford director of the union, to persuade the men to return to work have been of no avail. More than 1,000 men are now striking, and officials expressed fear that the walkout will spread through other departments of the plant. If the strike continues It might be necessary to close down the entire plant, company ofIcl*ls stated. "Officials will be ready to begin negotiations immediately if the men show up for the '7 o'c ck; shiftts morrow morning," Brayton said AIt is impossible .for us to rea)h an: . agreement until the strikers rtur kk to work."f" Other Claims Listed w w .xw:"; The union stated that other points q,) -31 in dispute are wrong) job and pay classifications, 'so that men are not'.,' employed at their highest skillst dis- regard for seniority rules and d's-' ir: T f criminatory transfers of employees. "If the strikers do not return to work tomorrow, there is every pos- sibility that the walkout will spread through other sections of the plant," McAuley stated last night. He added, however, that there is every indica- tion that the men will return to work for the morning shift. Brayton answered the sensational charges of the Ford Company that the strike was incited by a CIO at- tempt to take over management of the bomber plant as "nothing but a front to cover up its own inefficien- cy" in the plant. Company Claims Needling The Ford statement asserted tat union officials have been "needlirig the War Department and govern- ment for months with criticism of plant management and operation. Another strike was staged by 148 inter-plant truck drivers of the Chrysler Corporation in Detroit yes- terday. The truckers, who deliver vital parts from one plant to another in the Chrysler system, demanded faster action by the War Labor Board on a wage demand. About 600 workers in the Dodge Army truck plant had to be sent home yesterday for lack of parts.
