Anne Wiggin To.
Open WSSF
Campus Drive
Students Abroad To Be
Benefitted by Fund
The address of l4iss Anne Wiggin,
traveling secretary for the War Stu-
dent Service Fund, at 7:30 Tuesday
in the Michigan League, will offi-
cially start the WSSF drive on
camipus.~
WSSF is the organization through
which students help other students
in Europe, China and the United
States whose education has been
disrupted by the war. Food, medical
care, clothing, books and study ma-
terials bought with student contribu-
tions will enable men in prison camps
throughout the world to get univer-
sity training, in some cases with
credit.
Miss Wiggin's aid in setting up the
Ann Arbor branch of the WSSF will
be especially valuable because of her
wide knowledge and experience in
student relief work. Twelve years
:with the National Board of the
Y.W.C.A. in work for students in 75
foreign countries in American col-
leges and universities preceded her
position as Executive -Secretary of
the International Student Commit-
tee of the Y.W.C.A., which she devel-
oped as an independent organization.
At the outbreak of the present war
Miss Wiggin immediately joined the
American Committee for Christian
Refugees, whose plight she knew
from first-hand observation.

'Ike' May Act
Quickly To Keep
Belgian Order
Diplomatic Interest Is
Aroused by Red Groups
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.---Author-
ities here believe that General
Dwight D. Eisenhower will act with
speed and power to maintain order
in Belgium if threatening political
disputes produce open violence.
The General's first responsibility
as Allied commander-in-chief is to
prevent any kind of outbreak from
interfering with the storming of Ger-
many's inner fortress. He has plenty
of authority under agreements with
the Belgian government, though nat-
urally he would prefer not to divert
forces from the main job.
While the direct war aspects of
the Belgian trouble command firstI
attention here, there is intense dip-
lomatic interest also in the power
and purpose of Communist groups
there and in France as well.
It is considered possible that the
experiences of liberated Belgium and
France may furnish unmistakeable
evidence of the extent to which
western European communists are
playing a Moscow policy line, and
also some indications of Russian pol-
icy toward the countries of western
Europe.
The question has come into focus
in Belgium over a government order
to the resistance "White Army" to
surrender its arms.
Two Communist cabinet members
and a representative of the resistance
movement in the cabinet resigned
over the issue,
Sen. Ferguson
Addresses FPA
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-(.P)-Sen.
Ferguson (Rep., Mich.) today urged
that Congress give authority to "the
President, as commander in chief, to
use our armed forces at any future
date at his own discretion."
Ferguson, who spoke along with
Sen. Burton (Rep., 0.) at a Foreign
Policy Association meeting, said also
he knew of "no isolationist bloc in
the Senate."
"I think that was brought out last
November in the vote on the so-called
Connally resolution. I pray and hope
there never will be a bloc on either
side, of that kind," he said.
Discussing United States partici-
pation in a world organization, Bur-
ton recommended that Congress en-
act "a statute enabling us to make
full use of this new instrument o
peace" by conferring authority or
the American delegate to act quickly
in emergencies.

His father, Marshall, trimmed a
tree tonight so it will be ready when
Nubbins, whose real name is Forest,
awakens tomorrow morning.
Santa Claus is coming early for

morrow morning, the tree will be

Under it will be piles of gifts from
sympathetic folks all over the nation.
"If he lived 99 years he would
have a new toy to play with every
day," said the grateful father,
