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." Meanwhile, Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO vice president, demanded German Unrest Nears Organized Resistance 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.

By The Associated Press 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.

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 Overstreet To Speak Dr. Harry A.

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.

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.

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.
