In response to the leading ques- tion, "What can we do?" Svend Sales Increase As Bond Dive Nears Climax Soaring nearly $30,000 in four days of bond selling, the University total reached $82,162.50 yesterday in the campus campaign to sell $100,000 worth of war bonds during the Sev- enth War Loan drive. Lacking less than 20 per cent of their goal, the University war bond committee still hopes to go over their quota before the end of this first week of June. Volunteers Buy Majority While approximately one-third of the increase in sales figures comes through the May payroll deductions, the balance comes entirely from the steady flow of individual bond orders into the cashier's office. Personnel of the combined army units on campus bought nearly $50,- 000 worth of bonds during May, figures released yesterday indicated. Only a part of this will be credited to the University total, but it repre- sents an increase of over 1600 per cent above the figures for April.' During that month, local officers bought $2,137.50 as compared with $37,593.75 in May; enlisted personnel bought $675 in April compared to $10,605 in May; and attached civil- ians, now contributing 100 per cent, $56.25 as compared to $768.75. Civil- ians connected with the army units have in addition subscribed one-sixth of their salaries to war bonds. Reminders Promote Sales Army increases are due partly to the continual reminders posted daily on bulletin boards, and the personal contacts for promotion in the various classes. Next week an appeal will be made to new classes, and campus coeds will be on hand t otake bond orders. Bond Winners WillBe Named Winners in the campus bond-buy- ing contest will be announced Friday, June 8, Ann Lippincott, general chairman of JGP, disclosed yesterday. Bing Crosby's favorite pipe, suit- able for either smoking or saving as a souvenir, and a black and red neck- tie of-Bob Hope's which has been photographed by movie cameras are being offered as incentives for war- bond purchases. Kate Smith's autobiographed auto- biography, "Living in a Great Big Way," and a cravat Schnabel wore on a recent concert tour will also be given to individual winners. Messages congratulating the reci- pient are attached to photographs of celebrities in familiar poses-Ginger Rogers in a silver evening gown, Frank Sinatra grinning shyly, Nelson Eddy smiling sedately, and Tom Dew- ey with a smiling face and pipe in his hand. Pedersen, Danish representative, spoke for the group by outlining a four-point plan in which American youth can work with continental youth organizations to ensure a just and lasting peace for the world. The essence of the program as de- scribed by Pedersen is: 1. University students should adopt a foreign university which would entail the exchange of stu- dents, and supplying that univer- sity with needed books and mate- rials in order that it may resume normal activity. "During the years of Nazi-domination, schools in oe- cupied countries were stripped of practically every form of educa- tional facility," noted Maria Michel, former medical student at a uni- versity in Prague. 2. Plans should be made for the conference, sponsored by American Youth for a Free World, which will be held June 25 and 26 in Wash- ington, D.C. 3. A program should be formulated to send to the 25. American delegates who will attend the World Youth Conference to be held in London August 31 to Sept. 6. An equal num- ber of representatives from France, Russia, China, and Great Britain in addition to proportionately smaller delegations from other countries will also partiipate in the conference. 4. Prepare an agenda for an In- ternational You t Conference which tentatively will be held Nov. 17 in either Paris or Prague. The meeting to be held tomorrow will be for the purpose of forming an intra-campus organization to carry out the four-point plan. Under the sponsorship of the 12 University groups who were instrumental in bringing the delegates to Ann Arbor, the meeting will be open to all other crganizations and students regard- less of their affiliation. Veto Dispute Still Unsolved By Conference By The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO, June 5-The United Nations Conference looked to Washington, London and Moscow to- day for guidance toward a solution of the knotty veto issue, on which France made known she would vote with the United States against Rus- sia. At stake is the right of free dis- cussion of events threatening peace within the Security Council of a new world league. Russia says the Big- Five-Herself, France, the United States, Britain and China-must have the right to block such discussion. Secretary of State Stettinius con- sidered the question so vital that he sought a decision from President Truman on whether the American delegatio i should push the veto ques- tion to a test. Confernce committees were busy wheeling other problems out of the way. Some were nearly through with their work. Others were held up by the lack of agreement on the veto. Announcements Final distribution of commence- ment announcements will be held from 9 to 12 a. m. EWT (8 to 11 a. m. CWT) and 1:30 to 5 p. m. EWT (12:30 to 4 p. m. CWT) to- day in Rm. 2, University Hall. 450 Planes Strike Kobe; Eight Downed By The Associated Press GUAM, Wednesday, June 6-Great first raged in Kohe yesterday hours after approximately 450 superfort- resses struck their heaviest blow at this sixth city and largest port of Japan at a cost of eight bombers. The bomber losses - less than half the record total of 19 shot down over Tokyo in the big fire raid of May 29 -were announced in Washington by the 20th Air Force ,which said re- sults of the raid were excellent. Fires Still Rage The Japanese agency Domei, which had clairr d 56 of the B-29s were shot dowr was heard admitting six hours aft the last bomber turned for home that the fires were only then "gradually being extinguished." Three thousand tons of fire bombs plummeted into a square mile area of eastern Kobe, embracing the vast Kobe Steel Works, near a nine- square-mile area laid in ashes by two other raids in February and March. The big bombers resolutely pressed home their attacks against the worst that the Japanese and the weather could offer. Meet Heavy Flak Heavy and accurate anti-aircraft fire greeted the bombers as they sailed out of the banks of thunder- heads and fog into the fair skies over Kobe, 250 miles southwest of Tokyo. At' least 40 aggressive Japanese fighter planes came barreling up to meet them, and by enemy account some crashed into the superforts in suicidal attacks. But for all the opposition, the heavyweights cruised the skies over Kobe for an hour. dumping their in- cendiary loads on the steel works, two main railway stations, shipwards and docks. No Fighter Escort The weather was too bad for fight- er escort to make the trip, and one returning navigator said the storms knocked out all his instruments, forcing him to reach the target by dead reckoning. Convocation Is' Addressed by Yale Professor "Teaching is a fine art, and the teacher must work continually to im- prove and polish it," Prof. John S. Brubacher, declared of the School of Education at Yale University, in his address to the candidates for teachers certificates at the tenth an- nual convocation of the School of Education yesterday. Teaching, he said, is no longer a fine art if the teacher merely repeats the same lessons year after year with- out attempting to improve them. Two honorary scholarship awards were made at the convocation. How- ard K. Holland received the William H. Payne award, and Arthur H. Rice received the Burke A. Hinsdale prize. These awards are made annually for high scholarship and professional promise. The selection was made by a formal vote of the School of Edu- cation faculty, and the awards were presented by Prof. Francis D. Curtis, Secretary of the School of Education.
