Ford To Start
Wage Dealings
Henry 11 Denies Plan
To Grant Rate Raise
DETROIT, Oct. 31-(AP) --Henry
Ford II, president of the Ford Motor
Co., said tonight negotiations with
the CIO United Auto Workers over
the Union's 30 per cent wage increase
demand would begin Nov. 20.
The youthful executive denied ru-
mors that the company was "plan-
ning to grant an increase in its pres-
ent wage rates."
He said in a statement the com-
pany would "attempt to settle by or-
derly bargaining procedure the ques-
tions on wages and other matters
they (the Union) have raised with
us."

85,000 Fans
May Turn Out
For Grid Clash
Michigan, Minnesota
Renew Old Rivalry
By BILL MULLENDORE
Daily Sports Editor
Saturday will be Little Brown Jug
LIay in Ann Arbor, and football
teams from Michigan and Minneso-
ta, plus some 85,000 fans, are expec-
ted to take adequate care of the
celebration.
The battered stone water jug,
symbol of the bitter 49-year old ri-
valry between the two institutions,
will be merely one of the issues at
stake, however, along with an al-
most certain decisive turn in the
red-hot Western Conference race
and a personal feud between two of
the nation's top grid coaches.
Both the Wolverines and the Go-
phers have a lot to gain, or a lot
to lose, by what happens at the
Michigan Stadium Saturday after-
noon. Victory for either squad
means not only the Little Brown
Jug but also a continued place of
contention in the Big Ten.
Michgian Coach Fritz Crisler has
still another reason for wanting to
win. F ve times since he began
coaching here in 1938 Crisler has
Beat Minnesota!
The first pep rally of the fall
term will be staged -at 7:15 p.m.
tomorrow on the Union steps.
Led by the University Band, a
crowd of students, servicemen,
alumni and townspeople will sing
and cheer around a huge bonfire at
South Ferry Field to arouse "Beat
Minnesota" enthusiasm. Tom ]Har-
mon will be the guest speaker for
the rally.
Eight torches and "Beat Minne-
sota" banners will be carried in the
parade down State Street to the
pre-game celebration

FRANKFURT, Germany, Oct. 31-
Gen. Eisenhower told Washington in
a grave report today that there was
dangerous unrest in Germany, which
was "just one step" from organized
resistance.
Some U. S. troops already have
been attacked by youths and return-
ed German soldiers, he said.
Few Problems Settled
He also reported that "no real pro-
gress" had been made toward setting
up central administrative machinery
HOT-CAKES :
More Student
Books Needed'
At Exchange
"Books are going like hot-cakes!,
J "We can sell just about all the
textbooks that we can get," Wayne
Saari, president of the newly organ-
ized Student Book Exchange, de-
clared yesterday. A non-profit organi-
zation run to help students sell their
books, the Exchange opened at the
Game Room in the League Monday
afternoon.
Reviving an old Michigan institu-
tion formerly conducted by the Un-
ion, the Exchange sells books at
prices set by those who turn them in.
When they are sold, a ten per cent
service charge is deducted to cover
Exchange expenses.
Most Looks turned in to the Ex-
change have been sold immediately.
In the first day and a half of sales,
more than three-quarters of the
Exchange's stock ,was sold. To
keep the supply replenished, book
collection service is being contin-
ued in several dormiteries and at
the Exchange store in the League,
The sales room is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. both for receiving and dis-
tributing books.
Organized during the Summer
Term, the Exchange at present has
50 members. Those who work for the
organization constitute its member-
ship. The Exchange is to function for
two weeks this term, after which pay-
ment for books will be made and plans
for continuing the project in the
Spring Term will be drawn up.
"We owe great thanks to the staff
and' under-graduate N officers of the
Union and League for the material
aid and general cooperation they
have given us," Saari stated. "Un-'
der the direction of John Houston,'
store manager, sales service has been
conducted quickly by an all-student
staff," he continued.
Saari further pointed out tat
"the two-way benefits of the Ex-
change are available to everyone on
campus."
Brown Jug Dance
Set for Tomorrow
The "Brown Jug Dance," scheduledE
as the first dance of the semester,
will be held tomorrow night, when
the 15-piece Navy Dance Band, under
for Germany and that a "disappoint-
ingly" small number of problems had
been settled by the Allied Control
Council because of failure to obtain
unanimous agreement.
Other developments mentioned in
his thirdmonthly reportd:
The problem of handling thou-
sands of displaced persons continues
serious. "Cases of murder and or-
ganized looting occurred at an un-
pleasant rate," and the German pop-
ulace has become increasingly bitter
as a result of the increased lawless-
ness.
Food, Fuel Scarce
The food and fuel situation was
growing worse as winter approached.
"There will be practically no coal for
German civilians," and extensive
plans are now being made for mass
feeding of Germans in the American
zone.
The failure of the German masses
to respond to free political movements
was retarding any program to restore
self-government. Political movements,
he said, have been limited to a few

has served as secretary of the club
since his term as president. .
Unique Organization

Coeds' Reign
Broken After
Two Years
Increased Civilian
Enrollment Seen
More men than women-for the
first time in two years--have enrolled
for the fall semester, University offi-
cials announced yesterday.
According to figures based on the
first three days of registration, 5,504
male students, including military
trainees, and 5,078 women have en-
rolled. On the corresponding date
one year ago there were 3,918 men
and 4,427 women.
More Civilians
Civilian enrollment has increased
41 per cent, a jump of 104 per cent
is recorded for civilian male enroll-
ment whereas women on campus
show a 15 per cent gain.
Total enrollment is 10,582 for the
fall, a 27 per cent increase over the
total of 8,344 a year. ago. Civilian
students now number 8,947. Last
year 6,324 civilians enrolled. There
are 552 Army trainees, 969 Navy and
114 Marine trainees registered for
1945-46. Corresponding enrollments
a year ago were 1,030 Army, 840 Navy
and 150 Marine trainees.
Military Dwindles
As has been expected since the end
of the war, military enrollment has
decreased. Effective today, the V-12
is being consolidated with the Naval
Reserve Officers Training Corps. The
Judge Advocate General's School is
scheduled to be conducted on campus
only until Jan. 26.
The professional schools report a
high jump in enrollment. Veterans
account for part of the increase, and
women too are invading the profes-
sional field in greater numbers, with
30 women enrolled in the freshman
law class alone.
Figures Incomplete
Before the semester began, appli-
cations for admittance to the Uni-
versity resulted in a prediction that
more than 1,000 veterans would en-
roll for the fall term. Approximately
900 foreign students were expected to
register.
During the past week more than
900 freshman women and 450 new
men students have been introduced to
University facilities and the campus.
Because enrollment is not yet com-
plete, more detailed figures, includ-
ing the number of veterans on cam-
pus, will be announced Saturday.
LECTURE SERIES:
Helen Douglas
Will Discuss
World Peace
Helen Gahagan Douglas who re-
cently made headlines by introduc-
ing a bill in the House of Represent-
atives aimed at eliminating race
prejudice, will open the Oratorical
Association lecture series Tuesday at
Hill Auditorium.
The bill, prompted by the racial
discrimination of the DAR against
Hazel Scott, Negro singer, would re-
move the organization's Constitution
Hall from the tax-free lists.
Left Stage
Mrs. Douglas, an actress and sing-
er, left the stage to enter the field of
politics. "It all started," Mrs. Doug-
las said. "when I became so indig-
nant about certain things that I felt
I just had to do something about it."
Topic of her addresswill be "The
Price of World Peace." A democratic
Representative from California, she
is a member of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Mrs. Douglas has travelled widely
both in this country and in Europe
and the Orient. Realizing the threat
of Fascism to world peace, she re-
turned to the states and attempted to
awaken Americans to the danger.
She is the wife of film star Melvin

CHUNGKING, Oct. 31-Russia has
agreed to detailed plans for the land-
ing of Chinese government troops in
Manchuria, an official dispatch from
Changchun said today, after discus-
sions conjucted in a "most cordial"
atmosphere. Chiang Ching-Kuo, el-

participated in the conferences.
There was no immediate word asi
to whether the agreement grants the
requested use of Port Arthur andt
Dairen for the landings.t

The accord came as fighting
Communist forces were massing in
efforts to block overland movement
of the government troops into far-
northern China to assume control
from surrendered Japanese.
