All Humanity Included In "The Skin of Our Teeth" Thorn- ton Wilder has brought all humanity within the confines of one small east- ern community and has sent it whirl- ing through time and space. With scant heed to dramatic conventions he follows an Atlantic City beauty contest by the Ice Age mingles dino- saurs and midgets with the actors, allows the principals to go out of character to make caustic comments on the show to the audience across the footlights. George and Margaret Antrobus represent the heads of an average American family who find themselves "at grips with destiny, sometimes sweet, sometimes sour." Through a thousand reincarnations they suffer the slow progress and glory in the new triumphs the race has been able to consummate. Wilder Gives Opinions The characters are a little pathetic in their determination to survive, and Wilder makes the observations that live more nobly in time of war and slip back into lethargy with the com- i'ng of peace and security. However, Wilder believes that whatever pro- gress that is made is passed on after each catastrophe through books and the thoughts embodied in them by poets, philosophers, scientists and artists. "ther members of the cast are: William Cooke, Frances Sacks, Jean- ne Parsons, Mary Ruth Acton, Lu-. cille Genuit, Jean Adams, Babette and Concert...

Peter Freuchen, polar ex- plorer, author and member of the Danish underground, will tell the "Epic of an Explorer in the War," 8 p.m. Thursday in a lecture at the Rackham Lecture Hall. It will be the third speaking ap- pearance in Ann Arbor for the six-, foot, five-inch, red-bearded explorer, who was invited here by the geogra- phy department under the sponsor- ship of the University's Non-Resi- dent Lecture Fund. Freuchen, who was governor of4 north Greenland for 16 years, will tell of his adventures foiling Nazis in Denmark. Because of Freuchen's record as a Danish journalist op- posed to Nazis, he was a marked man when the German troops invaded Denmark. Finding it impossible to disguise his huge frame, ie was twice imprisoned by the Nazis only to es- cape both times. Freuchen's second escape was made cramped in a pack- ing case labeled machinery and con- signed to Sweden. Professor Emeritus William H. Hobbs, long-time friend of -the ex- plorer, revealed that in pre-war days Freuchen had been called to Ger- many by Paul Joseph Coebbels, Nazi propaganda minister, after the Dan- ish writer had demanded royalties No one on campus remembers the I supposedly designed by one of the front door ever being used--yet the greatest of all American architects, Romance Language building has been w.

French Sup-ply Program Plans Are Announced Officials Concede Relations Are Bad WASHINGTON, Feb. 3--(IP)-The government announced tonight a far reaching program for French civilian supplies, but privately officials con- ceded that Franco-American relations will get worse before they get better. The announcement Covered thou- sands of tons of food stuffs, industrial materials, and badly needed trans- portation equipment, including 700 locomotives and 9,000 trucks, author- ized for French purchase here. Officials said, however, that the French people are now going through one of the worst winters in their hi- story, suffering intensely from lack of fuel, clothing and food in many parts of the country. They said the failure to get supplies delivered in time to prevent this suffering inevit- ably means some loss of good will between France and the other Allies. "Somebody has to be a scapegoat," one authority summed it up, "and it looks like we're it-we are the Brit- ish." American policy now appears to be pretty well fixed along those lines. 1. Lend-lease goods to be actually given to the French will be munitions which they need for helping defeat the Germans and later the Japanese. 2. For the time being they may ob- tain on a temporary lend-lease credit basis some long-term capital goods such as dynamos for which the Unit- ed States cannot at present offer any other means of financing. But the French will have to agree to pay even- tually. This is about the same sort of-arrangement which has been work- ed out with Russia. 3. For purchases of goods for im- mediate civilian consumption, the French, under the agreement now contemplated, will have to put "cash on the barrelhead." 1929 when the new museum on East Jenney lectured at the University ed over to the Rom University was built. for a year, during which according to partment.
