TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SUNDAY, NOVEM 3ER 4$ TWO SUYDAY, NOVEMBER 4, NO CAUSE FOR JOY: Term Opening Regarded As Headache by Revelli and Band To many students, the opening of a new term is a cause for pleasant an- ticipation, but to the personnel of the University Marching Band a new term means a headache, in the con- sidered opinion of the band's director, Prof. William D. Revelli. Organized into a complete unit for the summer term, the break in semes- ters has disrupted the personnel of the marching unit, and with the loss of 35 per cent of its musicians be- tween terms, new members must be secured and initiated into the intri- cate system of formations that have made the University Marching Band one of the foremost in the nation. Behind-Scene Activities Its first meeting of the fall term held only last Tuesday, the band was already functioning on the gridiron yesterday. The popular reception it received was due to the behind-the- scenes activity that must precede each appearance. Every maneuver of the band is carefully planned beforehand on a miniature reproduction of the foot- ball gridiron, with small figures rep- resenting each man in the band. The formations are staged by moving the fgures on the model. Split-second Timing Split-second timing is the keynote to the band's successful maneuvers. Winter Heralds Return of Colds The cold season is back again and with it the danger of the 'cold germ.' Students are urged to take precau- tions at the first sign of this common affliction by checking with Health Service. Hoarseness and congestion in the chest should be watched, Dr. Margaret Bell, physician at Health Service, pointed out. If you don't care about yourself, she said, at least consider others with whom you come in contact during classes. Three cases of pneumonia have al- ready been reported this semester. The danger of glandular fever is as great as ever, Dr. Bell said. Difficulties of music performance, dress and alignment are heightened by the band's cadence, Prof. Revelli's unit marching to a metronome speed of 156, as compared to the usual band cadence of 132. Tryouts are still being held, Prof. Revelli announced, and new men are being placed in the ranks.

The Regents appointed Dean Emer- itus Myra Beach Jordan and Fred- erick P. Jordan, associate librarian emeritus, jointly or the survivor, as recipient of the income of the Wil- liams Professorship Fund. The fund was originally raised by the alumni to provide for the declining years of Prof. George P. Williams, member of the first faculty of the University. Posthumous degrees "Honoris Cau- sa" were approved forsstudents who went into the armed service within two years of completing the require-. ments for a bachelor's degree and died while in service. The Regents also accepted two scholarships established by the Uni- versity of Michigan Club of Detroit. Each will be for $130.00 per year. Senate Hunts Missing Jap War Message Service Merger, Free Press Are Problems By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-Congress pried into these intriguing topics to- day: Reports of a missing message said by some senators to show that Japan was going to fight the United States. A hitherto secret survey that showed high Navy officers at one time were split about fifty-fifty on a merger with the Army. Ad this was going on, too, on a day when neither Senate nor House was open for business: Required Free Press A powerful group of House mem- bers disclosed plans to tack onto every bill for helping foreign coun- tries a requirement for a "free press." Republican members of a Senate- House committee investigating the Pearl Harbor disaster were said to be on the hunt for that reportedly miss- ing war message. They want to find out whether this report is true or untrue: The Navy, before the Japanese smash at Pearl Harbor, decoded a Japanese message: "East winds, rain- ing." This was supposed to have sig- nalled enemy forces that the war was on. Now the message is missing from war department files. And records or radio monitoring stations for the pe- riod of its interception have been de- stroyed. Service Merger Poll That Army-Navy merger survey counted noses 10 months ago. The joint chiefs of staff polled 40 Army, 37 Navy and 3 Marine officers. Now the study has been turned over to the S en a te Military Committee, which is considering a merger. It shows: "Almost exactly half" the Navy officers favored a single department of defense. So did the "great major- ity" of Army men. But since the survey was made,I some admirals, like Chester W. Nimitz and William F. Halsey, have changed their stand. Now the Navy is battling a merger. *I * * Nation's Strike Idle Increases i Signs Indicate Stormy Sessions In Labor-Management Meeting Business Wants To Discuss Industrial Peace; Reluctant To Act on Wage-Price Issue Now By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-All the signs in this jam-packed city today pointed toward some stormy sessions when leaders of labor and business sit down together next week for discussions which will chart the course of the nation's future labor-management relations. Representatives of both labor and business have professed publicly their optimism over the results expected from the labor-management con- ference opening tomorrow. Pre-conference caucuses of management delegates disclosed that most of them want the conference to go on record favoring the inclusion of CLASSIFIED RATES $ .40 per 15-word insertion for one or two days.

In case of a breached contract, workers would be penalized by having wages and vaca- tion pay withheld, or by some other action. The business delegation does not want the wake-price question to come before the conference. Their position is that this controversy can only be settled by collective bargaining-and that it was not President Truman's intention, in calling the meeting, to have anything discussed except meth- ods of minimizing labor strife. However, labor leaders assert the wage-price question is the basic cause of controversy and for this reason should be brought out into the open in conference discussions. mond cutters, earning $115 weekly, strike for 25 per cent wage increase, two-week vacation; union t e r m s walkout "wildcat" strike.
