Dr. Newcomb To Deliver Address on
'Social Atavism in the Atomic Age'
Assembly Recognition Night, hon-
oring independent women who have
been outstanding in scholarship and
extra-curricular activities, will be
held at 8 p. m. tonight in the Ball-
room of the League.
Following the theme, "Assembly
Launches Into a New Year," to-
night's event will mark the third
year that Recognition Night has
replacedAssembly Dinner, held an-
nually before the war.
Guest speaker for the evening will
be Dr. Theodore M. Newcomb of the
sociology department who will speak
on "Social Atavism in the Atomic
Age." Dr. Newcomb spent the past
Radar .. .

in interfering with radar mechan-
isms of German night fighter air-
craft. It has a "horn," or antenna,
150 feet long.
Prof. Dow made a six-month trip
to England in Nov., 1944, at the re-
quest of the National Defense Re-
search Committee to put into opera-
tion the three "Tubas" used by the
British.
This device and numerous other
counter-measures blinded German
radars to an efficiency of 25 per cent
and caused German scientists to de-
vote so much time to salvaging their
own radar defenses that they failed
entirely in the development of the
superior microwave radar, Prof. Dow
pointed out.
Radar countermeasures provided
one of the chief causes of German
unpreparedness in Normany on
D-Day. Electronic "bullets" were
sent across the Channel to jam
most of the Nazi radar sets that
were watching for the expected in-
vasion.
In the Pacific, the anti-radar de-
vices protected beach landings, aided
mine-laying in strategic Japanese
harbors, and guided B-29s through
nets of anti-aircraft batteries.
Aluminum foil also served an im-
portant role in radar defenses. A few
ounces of aluminum "chaff" gives a
radar reflection comparable to that
of three heavy bombers.
Equipped with this "chaff" small
groups of airplanes, warships and
even motor launches appeared as
major task forces when viewed on
the enemy's radar scopes.
Prof. Dow, author of the textbook
"Fundamentals of Engineering elec-
tronics," made a special study, early
in the war, of methods of electronic
control for aluminum welders used in
airplane fabrication.
He is a vacuum tube consultant on
the staff of the National Bureau of
Standards in Washington, D. C.

Book Exchange
Gives Library
27 Used 'texts
The Student Book Exchange has
turned 27 books over to the Student
Lending Library in the Angell Hall
Study Hall.
These texts were selected from
more than 100 unsold books not
claimed by their owners at the Ex-
change. Books were selected by Mrs.
Lillian Rickel, who supervises servic-
ing of Lending Library books, on the
basis of their condition and their cur-
rent use in University courses.
One of these books has already
been taken out for the remainder of
this term. Books are available on a
semester basis to students who feel
that they cannot afford required.
texts and who receive the approval
of the deal of their college or his
representative.
"We were very happy to receive
these books from the Exchange," Mrs.
Rickel said. "Students who cannot
afford to buy all their texts are ap-
preciative of such gifts. If anyone
has any books he wishes to contrib-
ute to our collection, such gifts, will
always be welcome."
The Lending Library will buy
books to add to the present supply if
a request for one which is not avail-
able is approved.
Remaining books at the Exchange
will be distributed to drives being
conducted for students overseas.
Few Complaints
Filed with OPA
No applications for rental and food
price ceiling adjustments have been
filed this year with the Detroit office
of the OPA by University League
houses, according to Hicks Griffiths,
Detroit OPA official.
Houses charging prices above those
that prevailed during the period of
April 4-10, 1943, without having first
obtained an adjustment from the
OPA, are violating OPA regulations
and may be subjected to legal action,
Griffiths said.
Such legal action, involving suits
for three times the overcharge in
some cases, must be instigated by the
person overcharged during a thirty
day period immediately following the
violation, he pointed out. Following
that period the OPA and claimant
may file a joint complaint.
A few League houses did file appli-
cations for adjustments during the
spring of 1944 but failed to supply
necessary data at that time. Those
houses could ask to have their cases
reopened in the event they are
threatened with financial hardship,
Griffiths said.

The Club will hold a reception for
the Don Cossack Chorus in the As-
sembly Hall of Rackham following
their concert here Dec. 3. This will
be the seventh time the Club has en-
tertained the Russian singers.
On Dec. 6 the Glee Club will sing
for the State Banker's Association at
their convention here. They will pre-
sent a broadcast of Christmas music
at 2:30 p.m., Dec. 19 and will com-
bine with the Women's Glee Club in a

anese resistance of Chungking to
know.,..
The Japanese North China sum-
mary communique published in
Tokyo Ashai on January 15, 1944
stated:
"Our major enemy has been the
Communist Army. Seventy-five per
cent of our engagements last year
were fought against the Communist
forces."
Furthermore, it is worth-while to
note that the Communists in China
do not stand for Communism as their
immediate task. Mao Tse-Tung, Gen-
eral Secretary of the Communist
Party, writes:
"For a people being deprived of
its national freedom, the revolu-
tionary task is not immediate so-
cialism but the struggle for inde-
pendance. We cannot discuss com-
munism if we are robbed of a
country in which to practice it."
As for the Russian influence, John
Gunther, in Inside Asia, writes:
"There are no Russian advisors or of
ficials with the Chinese Red Army,
nor d Russian supplies reach it in
any qiantity." And at present, the
economy of NorthChina is a simple
rural economy.
Stating the issue as being Democ-
racyvs. Communism can thus be de-
clared to be a falsification. North
China is not fighting for Communism.
On the other hand, are "forces and
institutions which rest upon a foun-
dation of feudalism, that oppose in-
dividual capitalist production, that
ally themselves with the Fascist en-
emy" to go by the name of democ-
racy.
In this conflict, world peace is at
stake. The world of 1945 must not'
repeat the mistakes of the world of
1918. "Twenty-five years ago
American fighting men looked to
the statesmen of the world to finish
the work of peace for which they
fought and suffered. We failed
them again and expected the world
'to survive again." So spoke Roose-
velt, on March 2, 1945, in his report
on the Crimean conference. The
advent of the atomic bomb does
not make his words less true.
