Seventh Army Within 26 Miles of Goal Troops Near the Roer; Third Army Takes Ten Towns, Invades Saar By The Associated Press PARIS, Nov. 26.- U.S. infantry swarmed along both sides of the Marne-Rhine Canal 13 miles north- west of Strasbourg today in a drive toward the Rhine crossings into Ger- many's Karlsruhe country, but the enemy still fought on from bridge- head positions inside Strasbourg itself. In the giant battle on the edge of the Cologne plain, the U. S. Ninth Army fought to within less than a mile of the Roer River, last big na- tural barrier before the Rhine. Veterans Go Forward On its right flank, the battle-tried veterans of the U. S. First Army edged almost entirely through the dense Hurtgen Forest, southeast of Aachen, one of the bloodiest battlegrounds of this war. The U. S. Third Army, pushing out two to four miles at a half dozen points along a 60-mile front, overran ten towns and broke into the ,Saar Basin for half a mile at a new point capturing Biringen, 20 miles west and slightly north of Saarbrucken Civilians Evacuate Saarburg Mopping up Butzdorf, two miles inside Germany just west of the Saar Basin, the Third seized prisoners who said civilians had been ordered to evacuate Saaburg, seven miles north- east of advanced American positions thrust four miles into the Reich. The terrain which the Seventh was forced to yield northwest of Saverne Gap was mostly rewon, and farther south other elements striking through the Vosges were within 26 miles of the Rhine at two points. In eastern Holland, the British Second Army reached the Maas 15 miles north of the enemy's river stronghold at Venlo, and was attack- ing the defenses of Venlo. Lillian Gish To Relate Stage, Screen Stories Lillian Gish, veteran star of stage and screen, will tell her own story of "From Hollywood to Broadway" at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in Hill Auditor- ium. Third speaker on the Oratorical series schedule, Miss Gish, who ap- peared recently in the movie "Com- mandos Strike at Dawn," and played the part of Vinnie Day in the Broad- way production of "Life with Fa- ther," will give her impressions of some of the great personalities of the stage and screen. At the age ofsix Miss Gish made her stage debut appearing in the melodrama "In Convict's Stripe." During her childhood she appeared in silent films and on the legitimate stage, one season appearing with Sarah Bernhardt. In the twenties she confined her activities to Hollywood, returning to Broadway in 1930 to appear in Chek- hov's "Uncle Vanya." She was later seen in "Camille," "9 Pine Street," "Joyous Season" and "Within the Gates." She made her debut on the English stage in 1936 as Charlotte Ophelia in "Hamlet." Her most recent stage appearance was in the Theatre Guild production of "Mr. Sycamore."

That's the League lobby at lur more crowded this term than ever,t long lines at meal hours noticeable. Where perhaps 2,000 meals were served each day last year, today some 3,000 people take their meals at the League each day. "The many freshman women who have no eating facilities in their own residences and therefore must eat out make up a big part of our line," Miss Betty Jameson, League dietician, declared yesterday. She was refer- ring in part to the freshman women who are living in converted fraternity houses, and who are not allowed to eat in those houses. "Many university officials and townspeople who would ordinarily eat at home are watching their ra- tion points carefully these days, and find it more economical to eat out. A lot of them come to the League cafe- teria and dining room," Miss Jame- son affirmed. She also pointed out that there was an increased number of diners at the League directly after the Willow Run Bomber plant began full operations. Union Packed at Noon "There are more men on campus this year, and all of them, except the few left in fraternity houses, must eat out," declared Mr. Frank Kuen- zel, manager of the Union, comment- ing on the many more men who pat- ronize the Union Tap Room for their meals. "And a good share of the civilian men in the reopened Allen Rumsey and Wenley houses of the West Quad eat at the Union since it is so close to their rooms," he went on. "It seems, too," he added, "that many more men have 11 o'clock clas- ses this year, because our biggest rush at lunchtime comes just after noon when everyone wants to eat. 50% Increase, Taproomn at Noon SSHINN eck room?" nchtime. Campus eating places are but especially at the League are the Miss Jameson observed that the more people in the line, the slower the line seems to move. In fact many persons have to wait over half an hour just to get into the serving room. "This is especially difficult for those who have only an hour for lunch," r i 5 she declared.

"As yet we do not have enough help to manage the Ballroom cafe- teria successfully, and we would ap- preciate having as many students as possible work for us there during ~ meal hours," Miss Jameson said.

Mr. Kuenzel pointed out, If even those students who do not have to work would help out for perhaps an hour and a half each day, it would. greatly help the situation, and make it easier to serve the increased num- ber of diners."

Overcome in Final Minutes Buckeyes Regain Big Ten Title in Thrilling Game Before 72,O00 By DAVE LOEWENBERG Associate Sports Editor Special to Thes aily COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 25.-Regain- ing the Big Ten title which they lost last year to Michigan and Purdue, Ohio State came from behind in the closing minutes of play to whip a gallant Michigan team, 18-14, before a throng of 72,000 suspense-ridden fans. Several bad breaks caused the Wolverines' downfall. At the outset of the second half with Michigan ahead, 7-6, the Wolverines drove deep into Ohio territory only to have their attack bog down as the result of a costly fumble. The Bucks failed to capitalize on this break and were forced to punt. Fumble Proves Costly Two running plays netted four yards and then another Wolverine fumble was recovered on the Michi- gan 23 yard stripe. Seven plays later, Les Horvath scored from the one yard line. Gordon Appleby, Buckeye captain and center, made both of Ohio's recoveries. Lady Luck pointed another evil finger at Michigan in the fourth quarter. After an 83-yard drive had put the Wolverines on top, 14-12, a poor kickoff gave Ohio a first down on their 49 yard line. The Buckeyes covered 52 yards in 14 plays, with Horvath going over for his second score from' the three yard line. Bucks Stalled Momentarily After Ohio's Bob Brugge had re- turned the opening kickoff to the 34 yard line, Horvath and Brugge in six rushes carried the pigskin to Michigan's 41. The Buckeyes were stalled momentarily and they punted to Chubb who was downed on the eight. Gene Derricotte made it a first down on the 18 but the Wolverine See FOOTBALL, Page 6 Soviet-Polish Rift Threatens Peace Program WASHINGTON, NOV. 25-!PA)-The quarrel between Russia, and Pol- and's exile government in London has reached an extremely danger- ous stage, authorities here say. It is threatening to become a can- cerous growth in the future peace of Europe and thus a source of poison to the security of the whole postwar world. Such is the grave view taken of possibilities stemming from the res- ignation of Stanislaw Mikolajczyk as Premier of the Exile Government. Mikolajcyk bore the hopes of both Washington and London for a friendly, workable settlement be- tween the London Poles and Moscow. The British and American Govern- ments now will try to close the breach again. Conferences of State Depart- ment experts today indicated the whole question is being subjected to most intense study. President Roose- velt, who knows Mikolajczyk as a result of his visit here early this year, evidently was being kept cloely informed of developments. BUILDING PAID OFF: Hillel Foundation Will Burn Mortgage at Ceremony Today When its mortgage is burned at ceremonies scheduled to begin at 5:30 p. m. today, the Michigan B'nai Brith Hillel Foundation will lay claim to being the first of 126 Foundations to have purchased and completely paid for its own building. More than 600 guests from a dozen midwestern states, plus a large cam- pus and town group, are epected to assemble before the Foundation building, at Haven and Hill, to hear brief addresses by Rabbi Jehudah M. Cohen, Foundation director; Stan- ford Wallace, '44, president of the Hillel student council; Louis Shostak, chairman of the Michigan B'nai Brith council; Osias Zwerdling, chairman of the committee which raised funds to retire the mortgage; and E.

ROCKET ENGINEERING: Sigma Rho Tau To Hear Talk On Jet Propulsion, Tuesday "Self-propelled Projectiles" will be! the subject of the special guest speaker, Col. Henry W. Miller, at a general meeting of the engineering speech fraternity at Sigma Rho Tau, to be held at 8 p. m., Tuesday in Rms. 318-320 of the Union. Col. Miller, head of the University department of mechanism and en- gineering drawing, and a specialist on artillery, served as chief engineer for AEF heavy artillery in World War I. Author of numerous books on rail- way, seacoast and mobile artillery, Belgians Riot BRUSSELS, NOV. 25-(P)-Gunfire broke out and hand grenades were thrown today during a street dem- onstration against the government of Premier Hubert Pierlot. F. Demany, Belgian resistance lead- er, said four civilians were killed and 38 wounded in the clash with state police. The police, however, said six gen- darmes were injured with fists and sticks-not by gunfire-and that 20- odd demonstrators were wounded. Col. Miller will stress two points in his address: cost of transporting self- propelled projectiles, in terms of damage inflicted upon the enemy and efficiency in operation of the rocket, from the engineering standpoint. "The job of the Army is obvious- ly to destroy the opposing army," Col. Miller said. "Air bombs are designed to destroy the enemy's power to resist whether it be hu- man or productive power." Stating that jet-propelled bombs are spectacular from the public standpoint, Col. Miller explained that transportation and engineering prob- lems of self-propelled projectiles, es- pecially air-borne projectiles, have always been a puzzle to the Army. "We Americans are an accuracy- minded people who cannot affQrd to be influenced by the emotional value of self-propelled rockets and robots, Col. Miller pointed out. "Therefore the practical side of the problem as well as the engineer- ing potential, must be investigat- ed." , "We know what to expect from cannon, Col. Miller said, "but the importance of air-borne cannon in modern stepped-up warfare cannot be overemphasized." Pole Peasant Party Ignores Coalition DR. A. L.
