Bierman, Team
Arrive Tonight
For 'Jug' Tilt
By BILL MULLENDORE
Daily Sports Editor
Minnesota and Bernie Bierman, al-
ways a combination to be feared in
Western Conference football circles,
will arrive in Ann Arbor tonight
ready to do battle with Michigan's
up-and-coming young eleven tomor-
row afternoon at the Michigan Sta-
dium.
Labeled as the top offensive aggre-
gation in the Mid-West, the Golden
Gophers will present a typical rough,
tough, heavy squad to the 85,000 fans
expected to form the largest crowd of
the. current home season.
Averages 190 Pounds
A line averaging well over 190
pounds and a backfield of more than
185 assure Minnesota a definite
weight advantage over the Wolver-
ines. Bierman's squad has speed as
well, along with maneuverability and
deception.
The result has been that in two
Big Ten games the Gophers have av-
eraged more than 371 yards total of-
fense, far more than their nearest
rival. Passing, usually a very minor
weapon with Bierman, has accounted
for a surprising 115 yards of that
average.
Hanzlik Guard
The Minnesota line is spearheaded
by big Bob Hanzlik, 195-pound guard
who was a starting tackle on the 1943
Michigan eleven. O t h e r forward
standouts include center and line
backer Dick Van Dusen, guard Bob
Graiziger, and ends Johnny Lundin
and Bob Carley, whose glue fingers
have been largely responsible for the
success of the Gopher aerial offensive.
But it is in the backfield that this

Addresses VU
Press Club
Denounces Military
Training Proposals
"Universal military training will
never assist in creating international
good will and will certainly seriously
handicap the preparation of our
youth for service to society," Presi-
dent Alexander G. Ruthven told 250
editors and publishers of Michigan
newspapers gathered here for the an-
nual convention of the University
PressClub yesterday.
The hope for an enduring peace, he
declared, lies in our ability to develop
a balanced program of co-operation
among our own citizens and between
nations and racial groups.
Invest in Education
"It is my conclusion that, if we
would make available a small frac-
tion of the amount of the cost of the
last war for the education to equip
the individual with the knowledge of
the nature of the world and men,
the dangers of wars of aggression
could be greatly minimized through
mutual understanding," President
Ruthven concluded.
Dr. Harry A. Overstreet, lecturer in
adult education for the Extension
Service of the University, told the edi-
tors and publishers that an agency as
powerfultas the American newspaper
dares not evade the moral responsi-
bilities that its power carries.
Dr. Cork Lectures
In a discussion of "Atomic Energy
in War and Peace," Dr. James M.
Cork, professor of physics at the
University, pointed to the futility of
trying to keep the bomb secret by re-
ferring to captured German equip-
ment.

of more than 600 dollars, have been
sold in the first four days of sales at

The acute housing problem facing

president of the University. This
problem is highly intensified due to
the number of married veterans who

Graduate Studies announces an en-
rollment of 1,388 graduate students,
a gain of 300 over last year.
At present, the figures are 673 men
and 715 women. The number of
men enrolled constitutes a 61 per
cent increase over last year against
a 6 per cent increase in the number
of women.
A larger percentage of students
than in previous years are attending

fact that a larger number of students
are on the doctorial level. Chinese
students constitute the largest single
foreign group. Many veterans are
continuing their studies, also.

B-29s Complete
Non-Stop Flight
From Japan
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 - Four
B-29s, carrying 43 tired, happy men
home from the war, completed tonight
the first non-stop flight from Japan
to Washington in 27 hours, 29 min-
utes.
Brig. Gen. Frank A. Armstrong, Jr.,
deputy commander of the 20th air-
force, led the flight home, landing at
Washington national airport at 7:38
p. m., Eastern Standard Time. The
distance was figured at 6,544 miles.
Second Attempt
It was the Army's second attempt
to make the trip non-stop. The first
attempt on September 18-19 fell short
of the goal because of constant ad-
verse winds and the three-plane flight
led by Lt. Gen. Barney M. Giles sat
down at Chicago to refuel before com-
ing on to Washington.
Both flights followed roughly the
same route, 'the great circle course
across the Pacific by way of Agattu
and Kodiake, in the Aleutians, Sitka,
Alaska, Fort St. John, Winnipeg, De-
troit and thence eastward across the
United States.
Report Bad Weather
General Armstrong smiling through
grime and two days' growth of beard,
said the weather was 'terrible' on
this flight also, and that they did not
know until they reached Kodiak, Ala-
ska, whether they would make it. As
it turned out, his plane landed with
800 gallons of fuel, enough for about
three hours.
General Armstrong said the planes
took off from the field near Sapparo,
capital of Hokkaido, northernmost of
the major Japanese islands, during a
rain.
Truman Hears
Labor, N A Me
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-(P)-Both
labor and employer representatives
said after talks with President Tru-
man today that they pledged coop-
eration in the labor-management
peace conference.
CIO President Philip Murray and
Ira Mosher, president of the Na-
tional Association of Manufacturers,
told newsmen they informed Mr.
Truman they were entering the con-
ference, beginning next Monday, with
open minds.
Twenty-four Union and manage-
ment delegates and alternates to the
conference were called in today by
the President.
Included in the group was John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, who had not set foot in the
White House in four years.

BATAVIA, Java, Nov. 1-British
planes struck at Indonesian extrem-
ists stepping up their attacks tonight
against British forces in central and
western Java despite orders from
their own "president" Soekarno to
lay down arms.
With fighter-plane aid, the thin-
spread Indian troops recaptured most
of Magelang, 260 miles southwest of
Batavia.
Squadron of Tanks
A British spokesman described the
situation as "close to war." A squad-
ron of tanks arrived at still-tense
Soerabaja, naval base where Brig.
A, W. F. Mallaby was slain Tuesday
night.
Soekarno head of the "Indoneis-
ian Republic," met with Dutch lead-
ers last night, and flew today into the
interior in a yet unsuccessful mis-
sion to make his followers halt the
fighting.
Cooperation Urgel
Soekarno conferred last night with
Acting Lt.-Gov. Hubertus Van Mook.
The Dutch Information Service here
said Van Mook urged cooperation as
serving the best interests of all con-
cerned, and that Soekarno presented
arguments for recognition of a de
facto government headed by himself.
Immediately after Soekarno broad-
cast his orders toIndonesians last
night, the Indonesian-held Soerabaja.

"real revolutionaries will not by any
means accept Soekarno's peace talk."
Army Arrests
21 Nazi Bankers
For Conspiracy
By The Associated Press
FRANKFURT, Germany,No. 1-
Twenty-one directors of Germany's
six greatest banks have been arrested
on charges that they worked hand-n-
glove with the Nazi party "in a con-
spiracy to dominate the world,"
financing Hitler's armies and helping
exploit conquered nations, U. S. Army
authorities announced today.
Twenty other tycoons of the pow-
erful banks are sought.
War Criminals
"It seems pretty sure that we will
recommend trial of these men as war
criminals," declared R. A. Nixon, Dep-
uty Director of the Military Govern-
ment Division Investigating Cartels.
Nixon said the directors of the "Big
Six" banks began pouring money into
German rearmament as early as
1935, and during the war "served as
virtual spies in the economic and poli-
tical fields."
Banking Industry Interlocked
He declared German banking and
German industry were so interlocked
that it was impossible to separate
them, and that the concentration of
economic power by the "Big Six" was
"of a scope and dominance far beyond
anything that has ever existed in the
United States."
He listed the six banks as the Deut-
sche Bank, the Dresdener Bank, the
Commerzbank, the Bank Der Deut-
schen-Arbeit, the Reichs Kredit-Ges-
ellschaft and the Berliner Handels
Gesellschaft.
