GM Accepts Labor
Department Offer
To Discuss Strike
Parley Set For Tuesday; Corporation
Agreement to Confab Made Last Night
By The Associated Press
DETROIT, Nov. 29 - General Motors tonight accepted an invitation to
discuss with the government the strike which for nine days has kept
225,000 GM workers of the country idle.
The corporation, which earlier today turned its back on further negotia-
tions with the striking CIO United Auto Workers until the union "modifies"
its demands, agreed to discuss the strike with the labor department.
Invitation Extended '
Edgar L. Warren, chief of the Federal Conciliation Service, extended
the invitation by telephone tonight to Harry W. Anderson, GM vice-
president, and the invitation was'
promptly accepted. The two will
meet next Tuesday at 10 a. m. Tintr m anVetoes
Washington.
In a press conference previously,
President C. E. Wilson said General
Motors would not return to negotia-
tions over the union's demand for a
30 per cent wage rate increase until
the union had offered a modification
and halted "illegal picketing" of GM
plants.
Letter for Warren
Vice-President Anderson prepared
a letter to Warren confirming their
conversation in which he said:
"I sincerely trust that Secretary of
Labor Schwellenbach will find time
also to attend the meeting."
Anderson said he would bring to
the conference with Warren "such
other" members of GM's staff as he
believed necessary to present the
corporation's side of the issue which
has resulted in a halt to all General
Motors' production.
Saginaw Vandalism
Elsewhere on the GM strike front
tonight, the UAW-CIO at Saginaw,
Mich., announced it would give a $100
reward for the "arrest and convic-
tion" of persons responsible for van-
dalism in that city.
Bricks had been hurled through the
window of the home of one Saginaw
General Motors executive and a log
was rolled up against the door of !
another. The unon disclaimedrany
responsibility.
Wilson Reviews Position
Wilson, in his press conference, re-
viewed General Motors' position
again in the wage dispute and de-
manded an end to the type of union
picketing which he called "illegal."
He outlined the General Motors
position a few hours after President
Truman in Washington .had ex-
pressed approval of a recommenda-
tion by the advisory board of the
war mobilization and reconversion of-
fice that GM officials and union rep-
resentatives sit down and talk over
the wage dispute that has closed more
than 70 plants.

More Meetings
of Big Three
President Expresses
Confidence in Russia
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-President
Truman today vetoed talk of any
more meetings with Generalissimo
Stalin and Prime Minister Attlee. He
said he is looking to the United Na-
tions to solve problems heretofore re-
served for the Big Three.
At the same time, the President ex-
pressed confidence in Russian coop-
eration for world peace and said he
does not share fears that lack of co-
operation by Russia would lead to
war.
In a busy few minutes at his news
conference the President also:
1. Revealed that negotiations are
under way for revision of Allied con-
trol machinery in Germany-particu-
larly for a change in the requirement
that no action affecting all four oc-
cupation zones can be taken until the
United States, Britain, France and
Russia are unanimously agreed.
2. Said that Gen. George C. Mar-
shall will leave for China in three or
four days as special envoy following
up Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, re-
signed ambassador. Marshall will be
under instructions to carry out estab-
lished American policy in China and
his instructions will be published.

"Contemporary Trends in Architec-
ture" will be discussed by Dean
Joseph Hudnut of Harvard University

Victory Loan
Train Will Stop
In Ann Arbor
German Surrender
Papers To Be Shown
The original German surrender
documents and a display of American
and captured war weapons will be
aboard the seven-car Victory Loan
Train, which is scheduled to roll into
Ann Arbor Dec. 15.
Train Touring Country
The train, which is sponsored by
the Army Ground Forces, is one of
six now touring the country. Overseas
veterans of the infantry, field artil-
lery, anti-aircraft, airborne troops,
signal corps, engineers, armored force
and the medical corps will act as
guides.
Warren F. Cook, Washtenaw
county chairman of the Victory Loan
Campaign, said yesterday that the
display of war weapons will empha-
size the cost of the war and the need
for continued purchases of bonds.
The train will be on a siding near the
Michigan Central station. No admis-
sion will be charged.
"Best Equipped"
Cook said that the train coming to
Ann Arbor is the "best equipped" in
the country because it hasdthe origi-
nal German surrender documents.
The others are displaying facsimiles.
The documents are on loan from the
National Archives at Washington.
Included in the displays of weap-
ons and equipment will be parachutes
used for dropping men and supplies,
pneumatic boats, booby traps, land
mines, the 75-mm recoiless rifle and
various other small arms. Flatcars
will be utilized for the display of an
armored force tank, an eight-inch
howitzer, a lethal-caliber machine
gun mount and a large anti-aircraft
searchlight.
The medical corps exhibit will dem-
onstrate the work of a battle collec-
tion station. A complete field kitchen
will be set up with a display bf the
various rations used by troops in the
field.y

CIVIES AGAIN:
Navy Grants
Leaves: Will
Release 45
"A suit of clothes is about the
hardest thing to find now that we
Navy meds are going back to civilian
life again," James Wyngaarden,
sophomore medical student, said yes-
terday.
Forty-five members of his class
will be given two weeks leave be-
ginning tomorrow before they re-
port back to the University Dec. 14
for mustering out and discharge in
Toledo. The stipulation condition-
ing discharge is that the men re-
main in medical or dental school
to complete their training as civil-
ians.
Wyngaarden, president of his class
and typical of the men in the pro-
gram, attended Calvin College as a
civilian for a year before going to
Western Michigan as a V-12. He re-
ceived his orders for med school at
Northwestern in the spring of 1944,
and spent the summer at a See Bee
hospital in Davisville, R. 1. where
the Navy sent him for laboratory
work.
The Medical School operates on an
18-week schedule and the summer
term ends today. Sophomores like
Wyngaarden who have completed
three semesters, will be classed as
juniors when they return from their
leave in December.
While a member of the Navy
program, Wyngaarden and other
members of the unit on campus, re-
ceived a subsidy from the govern-
ment for books; tuition and living
expenses. This will end when they
are discharged.
Ninety-eight Navy meds in other
classes will also be released from ac-
tive duty during the coming months.
Discharges will be completed by Mar.
9, 1946, when the last member of the
senior class, Joel Clay, who was un-
able to graduate with his class be-
cause of illness, will receive his de-
gree. All 28 in the various classes in
Dental school will be released Feb. 23,
1946. This is also on condition that
they complete their schooling.'
The Navy initiated its training
program here in July, 1943, for
those medical and dental students
who desired to complete their
studies before going on active
duty.
Cinema League
Presents Film
Francis Lederer Star
Of 'Voice in the Wind'
"Voice in the Wind," a motion pic-
ture starring Francis Lederer, will be
shown at 8:30 p.m. today and tomor-
row at the Lydia Mendelssohn Thea-
tre, under the auspices of The Art
Cinema League.
Billed as the "most outstanding
contribution to the American screen
of 1944 by the independent producer,"
the film tells the story of a Czech
pianist during the period of the Nazi
occupation of his country. Tortured
by the Germans for playing Sme-
tana's "Moldau," a forbidden compo-
sition, the film depicts his flight from
Czechoslovakia and the sufferings he
endured.
Paul Hagen To Discuss
European La bor Today
Paul Hagen, former German and
Austrian trade union leader, will dis-
cuss "European Labor in the Post-
War World" at 4:15 p.m. today in
Rm. 101 Economics Building under
the auspices of the Workers Educa-
tion Service.
"Paul Hagen" is the pseudonym
used by Karl B. Frank since he
became a refugee from Hitlerism
ten years ago. During World War
II he served as research director of
the American Friends of German
Freedom which issued "Inside Ger-
many Reports."
Hagen is the author of "Will Ger-
many Crack?" and "Germany After
Hitler." He last visited Germany, in-
cognito, in 1938.
Hagen was born in the old Austro-
Hungarian empire in 1893, and ob-
tained a Ph.D. degree at the Univer-
sity of Vienna.
In World War I he became an
officer in the Austrian army, but
was among the early participants in
revolts which finally overthrew the
monarchy and took the nation out
of war. After the war, he achieved
prominence in the Social-Demo-
cratic labor movement of Germany.
After the Nazis came to power,
Hagen, who had come to believe that
both the Social Democrats and the
Communists were on the wrong track
and who had become a leader in a
small group calling itself "New Be-
ginning" took refuge successively in
Prague, Paris, and London. In 1935
he came to the United States, and has
been here continuously since 1940.
N Intention
Of Resigning,
SaysKipke
ays w7 e
University Regent Harry G.
Kipke last night denied widespread
rumors that he had resigned from
the Board of Regents.
"I hadn't any thought of resign-
ing," he declared. "I have no plans
along that line."
Kipke stated that he heard
rumors of his resignation but
branded them "meaningless."
A member of the Board of Re-
gents since 1939, Kipke was re-
cently discharged from the Navy
where he served as lieutenant com-
mander.
He is now employed by a soft
drink firm in Chicago.
One of the select group of eight
nine-lettermen in the history of
the University, Kipke, a halfback,
made All-America in 1923.
He later served as head football
coach here, being replaced in 1938
by H. O. "Fritz" Crisler.

WARSAWUNIVERSIT Y:
Student Veteran
Appointed by
Committeeman
Telegram Reveals
News at Vet Meeting
University student Victor J. Baum,
recently-elected chairman of the lo-
cal American Veterans' Committee
chapter, last night was appointed a
member of the AV9's national hous-
ing committee.
The appointment came in the form
of a telegram from Franklin Delano
Roosevelt Jr., national AVC commit-
teeman.
Roosevelt's Telegram
Roosevelt's telegram was quoted as
saying, "The National Planning Com-
mittee in recognition of the housing
crisis facing the veteran, has author-
ized the formation of a special Na-
tional Housing Committee to stimu-
late public support for an immediate
solution.
"Request that you confirm by re-
turn wire your acceptance of appoint-
ment to this national committee."
Baum confirmed his acceptance by
the following wire: "On behalf of
Ann Arbor Chapter I acce-t nnnoint-
ment to N.H.C. Forward further de-
tails."
With this exchanging of telegrams
on a national problem completed the
Ann Arbor chapter of AVC immedi-
ately stepped into the state question
of helping the veterans, by appointing
a committee headed by Dr. Sidney
Norwick and Russell Wilson, to in-
vestigate, with the cooperation of
VO, the housing situation in Ann Ar-
bor and vicinity. Representatives
from both organizations will leave
December 6, for Lansing, to confer
with Colonel Philip Pack, head of
Michigan, Veterans Administrations,
on the future policy of the State
Legislature, in the handling of a
$50,000,000 state reserve fund to be
used for war veterans.
Initial Step
Baum stated, "This is the initial
step in conveying first hand informa-
tion from the scene of housing crises
to the State Legislative and admin-
istrative bodies."
A special legislative session is
scheduled to convene on January 14,
1946, and House leaders have stated
that if the Governor should present a
well-reasoned program, backed by the
support of veterans' groups, a deci-
sion on spending the state reserve
fund will be reached.
AVC with the cooperation of the
Veterans Organization on campus,
has proposed a veterans' round table
discussion on veteran problems to be
held in the near future.
The next meeting of AVC will be
December 6. All veterans of World
War II are urged to attend.

a series of four articles on the foreign
universities to be listed on the ballot
at Wednesday's election. Information for

By ANITA FRANZ
With kitchen sinks for laboratories
and their memories for notebooks,
Polish students attended clandestine
"underground schools" for six years
knowing that a death sentence hung
over their heads if caught.
Former students of the University
of Warsaw watched as their profes-
sors were carted off to concentration
camps, and those students who pro-
tested met with the same fate.
When they walked the streets of
Warsaw they could see buildings
changed from peace-time uses into
Nazi harbingers of horror. They
could look at their classrooms and
laboratories, the valuable equipment
filched by the Germans.
Hitler's Plunder
What "Hitler's gang" didn't plun-
der was laid waste-in the 63-day up-
rising last year, leaving students with
no means of education save a will to
learn-andhthe days of Germanoc-
cupation have only increased that
will. Before the war, Polis'h univer-
and student aid societies have been
organized everywhere in the country.
But there are certain materials the
Polish government can't supply-
that no amount of money can pur-
chase inside Poland.
There are few textbooks. Of the
486 manuscripts which were ready
for publication in 1944, 90 per cent
were burned in the uprising. Now,
100 are ready, but lack of paper pre-
vents their printing.
The professors and students have
appealed to the United States and
other countries for aid, asking espe-
cially for such items as paper, furni-
ture, microscopes, glass heaters, lab-
oratory instruments and textbooks.
Only these supplies can turn their
crude school into a real citadel of
learning.

GARGOYLE:
Manager's Fate Will Be Decided Today
EDITOR'S NOTE: Still serving his time
as Gargoyle janitor, Perry Logan has
more chance than most to observe poli-
tics in that magazine's front office.
Since there is no back office, his inside
stories have revealed him as one of the
foremost campus bridge players.

the players had held before the mis-

way of indicating she bid three no-
trump with no honor count but a
great confidence in Goldstein's abil-
"I'm sorry to do this to you, old
man," said Chatfield, removing Gold-
stein's wallet and retrieving the
French picture he had once given
him, "but we shall struggle on. Here,
how does this look?" he asked, hold-
ing up a hastily-printed letterhead
that in Old English script announced
Bob Chatfield as the new general
manager of the Gargoyle, which ap-
