War Veterans Are Given Chance To Buy Jeeps DETROIT, Dec. 8 - (P) - The Smaller War Plants Corporation to- Boston Orchestra Will Appear Here Tomorrow will mark the 16th an- nual appearance of the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra under the baton of Russian-born Serge Koussevitzky, on the Choral Union concert series. The program at 8:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium will feature the Proko- KOUSSEVITZKY . . . To conduct fleff "Classical" and Fifth symphon- ies, and Sibelius' "Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43." Koussevitzky, conductor of the Boston Symphony for the past two decades, who has pioneered in per- formances of works of navel, Proko- fleff, Honegger, and Roussel, as well as many compositions by native Americans, has done much to en- courage symphonic-music in America and to stimulate appreciation for the best in musical development. Koussevitzky was previously re- nouned for his own symphony or- chestra, which traveled up and down the Volga River, offering concerts at various Russian cities. The performance of the Sibelius Second Symphony on tomorrow night's program almost coincides with the eightieth birthday anniver- sary of the famous Finnish composer. Jan Sibelius, contemporary composer, was born Dec. 8, 1865. The Symphony, founded in 1881 by an ardent young Bostonian music student, is now in its 63rd season. Michigan is one of 17 colleges in the east and mid-west which it visits on its annual tour. P'rice Control Halts Inflation Dickinson Opposes Premature Removal Premature discontinuation of fed- eral price controls might set the stage for an inflationary boom which would ultimately lead to a depression, Dr. Z. C. Dickinson of the economics de- partment declared yesterday. This is the reason, he pointed out, that the government still exercises a limited restriction on wage increases. However, wage increases can con- ceivably be absorbed without affect- ing the inflationary spiral, Dr. Dick- inson asserted. Where war-time technology results in increased peace-time output, real wages can be increased without build- ing up inflationary pressure, he said. Above all, Prof. Dickinson stated, most industries feel assured, for sev- eral years to come, of a higher volume of operations than in ordinary times. This is a condition which makes for lower unit costs, he said. Union Formal Tickets Will Go on Sale Bill Layton Band Will Be Featured Approximately 250 tickets for the Union Formal, which will be held from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday in the Rainbow Room of the Union, will be placed on sale tomorrow at the Travel Desk in the Union lobby.

Union membership cards must be presented by all civilian men, and only one ticket will be sold to each person. Layton To Play Bill Layton and his campus orches- tra, with Patti DuPont vocalizing, will be featured at the dance. Layton is planning several special numbers. Traditionally the first formal of the year, the affair is the largest social function sponsored by the Union Council. Dick Roeder and Paul John, social co-chairmen, are in charge of the event. Corsages for Women Every woman will receive flowers, given by the Council, as she enters the dance, and leather programs will serve as handsome souvenirs. Point- ing out that this is the first big formal since the war restrictions on social functions were lifted, Roeder stated that the Council wishes to make this affair as similar to the pre-war dances as possible. Refreshments of punch and cookies will be served on the dance floor, and decorations will follow the theme of the Union emblem. Holiday Party Auditions Set For Tuesday Auditions for the student acts ap- pearing in the huge all-campus Christmas Party scheduled for Dec. 18 at Hill Auditorium, will be held from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Glee Club Room of the Union. Students who are interested in participating in the gala event but cannot audition at the appointed time should contact Dick Roeder, at the Student Offices of the Union. In addition to the several student acts, the Navy Chorus, directed by Howard Farrar, the Women's Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Marguerite Hood, and Bill "Uppy" Upton's 16 piece Navy Swing Band will be featured. Plans for the traditional event are still being formulated under the sponsorship of an all campus com- mittee, headed by Dick Roeder and John Sorice. A campus master of ceremonies will conduct the show, and it is promised that Santa Claus will ap- pear, bringing unique gifts for fac- ulty and Administrative Staff mem- bers. Community singing led by the Navy Chorus and Women's Glee Club will complete the program. What... The Devil? An unidentified horned demon clad in white tie, tails and a yellow undershirt panicked mer- rymakers at the Union and Mis- tletoe Mingle dances yesterday, claiming to be The Gargoyle. "I'll be out next Thursday," he said. Others, including the cam- pus cop, were of the opinion that he'd be in. i i __ Philippines Sent Cable; Rally Planned In the wake of Friday's election, a cablegram was despatched to Uni- versity of Philippines students in- forming them that they are to receive aid in rehabilitation from Michigan students. Simultaneously, a telegram was sent to the Philippines Resident Commis- sioner in Washington. It was also announced by Jack Gore, SOIC Executive Chairman, that Edlmond Peter Wellenstein, Dutch un- derground leader and member of anti-collaborationist groups in In- donesia, will be on campus tomorrow and Tuesday. He will address a mass rally at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in Lane Hall. The messages read: "Dr. Bienvenido Gonzales, President University of Philippines Manila, Philippine Islands "Campus mandate named the University of Philippines as bene- factor of student plan to aid in rehabilitation of a war-ravaged university. "Would like to hear from you immediately concerning specific needs. Will start fund of money, books, etc., to send you. "Yours for a Speedy Rebuilding, Jack Gore, chairman Executive Council, Student Organi- zation for International Coopera- tion." "Brig. Gen. Romulos Resident Commissioner Philippine Islands Washington, D. C. "Students of the University of Michigan have chosen the Univer- sity of Philippines to receive their help in rehabilitation. Would like to hear from you on the specific needs of students in the islands, and pos- sibly to arrange for you to speak here. All information you can send would be appreciated. "Sincerely yours, Jaok Gore, chirman Executive Council Student Organization for International Cooperation." All students on campus are invited to meet Wellenstein, who left Hol- land just three and a half weeks ago, at the rally. Wellenstein will kdso be guest at an SOIC tea from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Congregational Disciples Guild House. The tea will be open to the public. Political Budget limit Criticized Lederle Cites Two Major Inadequacies Until an enlightened public opinion determines the proper level for polit- ical expenditures, the present $3,000,- 000 limitation imposed by the Hatch Act should be removed, Prof. John W. Lederle of the political science de- partment said yesterday. Prof. Lederle served as consultant for the United States Senate Commit- tee which investigated campaign ex- pen ditures. He cites two objections to the lim- itation: (1)-Such a sum is inadequate to present national issues and candi- dates before the people; and (2) the restriction is being evaded by inde- pendent groups without official party affiliation. Experience with the Hatch Act lim- itation once again proves that "we too often seek to establish moral standards by law without first de- termining whether they are strongly backed by the community," Prof. Led- erle pointed out. Publicity on campaign expenditures has been required since 1910, he add- ed, but provisions of the law are so weak that they merely create an illu- sion of publicity. MARSHALL READS DEWEY CORRESPONDENCE--Gen. George C. Marshall, former Army chief of staff, reads to the Pearl Harbor investi- gating committee in Washington, D. C., correspondence in which he asked Thomas E. Dewey to withhold from the 1944 political campaign information that the U. S. had cracked the Japanese code. World News at a Glance Philippines Cammander Indicted .. . TOKYO, Dec. 9 -(A)- The United States today formally charged Jap- anese Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma, conqueror of the Philippines, with per- mitting the Death March of Bataan and other atrocities against Filipinos and Americans. The indictment, made public by General MacArthur, also named four other officers accused of sanctioning murder, brutalities and other crimes during the early months of the war in the Philippines. Cagers Roll Up 20 Point Edge, 69-49, Over Highly Rated Western Michigan Harrison Selbo Lead Scoring : In Rougi Tilt . y BILL MULLENDORE Daily Sports Editor Michigan's up and coming basket- ball team, looking better every time out, rolled up one of the highest point totals in Wolverine cage his- tory last night while humbling high- ly-rated Western Michigan, 69-49, on the Yost Field House floor before 2,- 000 spectators. The fast-breaking Westerners, vic- tors over perennially strong St. Johns University only last Wednes- day, were no match for Coach Ben- nie Oosterbaan's charges. They were Marines Shell Village .., TIENTSIN, Dec. 8 -(A)- Ameri- can Marines fired 24 mortar shells into a village northeast of here Dec. 4 after two Chinese gunmen killed one Marine and wounded an- other "in cold blood," the Marines announced officially today. A naval board of inquiry was in- vestigating the incident. Seasoned American combat men estimated, meanwhile, that the village could have been wiped out if all the 60- millimeter mortar shells scored di- rect hits. Hess Explains 1light . . . NUERNBERG, Dec. 8 - W) - Ru- dolf Hess declared today that he flew to England to try to halt the fight between two "noble races"-England and Germany-and not to enlist Brit- ish aid in the attack on Russia, as widely believed. Hess asserted he had planned the flight for nearly a year before the invasion of Russia. Union Rejects Proposal DETROIT, Dec. 8 -(A)- The CIO United Auto Workers' high council in the General Motors strike turned thumbs down today on President Tru- man's proposal to end the strike and urged a drive against his recommend- ed labor legislation. Charity Drive To .begin; Be A ' Good fellow It's time to be a Goodfellow! With a goal of $1800 to meet, the tenth Goodfellow drive, sponsored by the Daily and the Union, begins to- morrow, to be climaxed by the street sale of the special Daily Goodfellow edition Monday; Dec. 17. Campus Organized Charity The only all-campus organized charity campaign of the year, the Goodfellow drive solicits funds to help maintain the Ann Arbor Fam- ily and Children Service, the Text- book Lending Library and the Uni- versity Good Will Fund. Individual student Goodfellows should send or bring their contribu- tions for this Christmas drive to the editorial offices of the Daily between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Groups Asked To Help Letters have been mailed to all fra- ternities, sororities and other cam- pus organizations urging them to make group contributions to the Goodfellow fund before Friday. In past drives, it has been the generous support of such organized groups that has helped the Goodfellow com- mittee to top its quota.

For details of the game, see Page 6. beaten at their own race-horse game by the Wolverines, whose ball-han- dling and shooting were both in top- notch form. The Broncos led only once during the evening, as forward Bob Fitch cashed in on a free throw in the first minute of play. But Wolveine cen- ter, Bob Harrison, came right back with a field goal a few seconds later, and the Wolverines were off to the races. Wolverines Take Early Lead Western did not make good on a single shot from the floor until four minutes had elapsed, as Michigan's tight defense repeatedly broke up the whirlwind Bronco attack. But the time Bronco center Don -Boven finally did break the ice, the Wol- verines had a comfortable 7-1 lead, and were never headed. The only Western effort that could be called a threat was engineered as the second half opened. Behind, 36-19, at halftime, Coach Buck Read's quintet managed to cut the margin to 12 points with guard Andy Moses leading the way. But the Wolverines quickly found themselves again and surged back out into a commanding lead. The only question from then on was the size of the final Michigan point total. Oosterbaan flooded the floor with substitutes all evening, using 13 men in all. It apparently made no differ- ence to the Michigan cause who was in the lineup, as the Wolverines See HOOPSTERS, Pg. 7 Ga lens Drive Tops $3,000 Funds Will Support Children's Workshop The Galens annual drive went over the top again yesterday-to the re- sounding total of $3,549.77-and spelled a Merry Christmas and a year 'round program of fun and rehabili- tation in the Galens workshop for the kids in University Hospital. On the basis of incomplete returns, Marty Feferman, '46M, reported that the drive was "$15 ahead of what it was last year at this time." Dona- tions from a few organizations have not yet been tabulated. The goal of the Galens drive was $3,000. Appreciate Support Speaking for the 17 members of Galens who formed the "bucket bri- gade" for this year's drive, Feferman said: "We are deeply appreciative of the generosity of students, faculty and townspeople in support of the drive. By their support, the Uni- .versity and the city showed that our cause is a worthy one." Feferman said the Galens also wished to thank Pi Beta Phi, Delta Gamma and Alpha Epsilon Phi so- rorities, who helped prepare the Gal- ens tags, the Buildings and Grounds Dept. and Mr. Frank W. Wilkinson, Ann Arbor merchant, who donated 40 dolls for the Galens' annual chil- dren's Christmas party. Sinnrts Worksho ' FA CU L TY CURRICULUM COMMENTS: Trow Calls Harvard Report Conservative but Good C I I By CLAYTON DICKEY (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first in a series of interviews with members of the University faculty on the subject of general education.) Students in the literary college are familiar with the group requirements that must be satisfied for graduation. Many do not know that a plan of re- organization of these requirements has been before the faculty for a year and that debate on the proposals was reopened this fall. secondary school teachers and ad- ministrators, and not with the prob- lems of higher education. After several inquiries, an inter- view with Prof. William Clark Trow, who is listed in the Directory as Pro- fessor of Educational Psychology, was suggested. The author of two or three books and various other publi- cations in this field, Prof. Trow was in charge of the European Area and Language Program on campus under the ill-fated ASTP and served as di- "Have you had time to read the Report of the Harvard Committee on General Education in a Free So- ciety?" "I'm working on it," was his reply, "but it is hard to get through the thick Harvard dialect in which it is written." The next time we were more successful. "Required Reading" "It should be required reading for everyone who has anything to do with curriculum revision," he said. adopt at Michigan?" we asked. "It shouldn't be adopted anywhere," he shot back, "except on an experimen- tal basis, which the report clearly states is the expectation at Harvard. Lack of Scientific Approach "One finds striking illustrations of the failure of transfer. Professors schooled for years in laboratory sci- ence, who wouldn't think of going ahead in their own fields except on the basis of carefully observed ex- nperiment will often nno'rt a nro- colleges deans and presidents, hardly one from west of the Hudson.
