Kaplan Denies
Callahan Act
Petition Fraud
Charges of fraud levelled at
referendum petitioners for the re-
peal of the Callahan Act were re-
futed yesterday by the local com-
mittee which circulated petitions
in Washtenaw County.
"No foundation can be discov-
ered for the charges on the basis
of experience in this county," Prof.
Wilfied M. Kaplan of the mathe-
matics department, co-chairman
of the local Committee for the
Repeal of the Callahan Act, de-
clared in a statement to The
Daily.
It has been alleged that "thou-
sands" of signers were not citi-
zens, other "thousands" were not
registered voters and a "large per-
centage" were not told the pur-
pose of the petitions. The State
Board of Canvassers will hear the
charges at a meeting set for Feb.
4.
The Callahan Act, suspended
Tuesday in a ruling by Attorney
General Eugene F. Black, will be
revised at the Legislature's special
session in January. "Any action
against such a new bill must await
its appearance before the Legisla-
ture," Prof. Kaplan said.
State To Build
New Stadium
Michigan State College will be-
gin work at once on a new 50,000
seat football studium.
The new bowl-type gridiron
field, .will cost an estimated $1,-
000,000 and is slated to be ready
for Spartan grid tilts by next sea-
son. A contract for the new struc-

ture has already been let and work
will begin on the project early
next week.h
Original plans called for a com-.
bination football stadium and
dormitary. However original plans
were scrapped because of high
costs and the two structures will
now be built separately.
The new stadium will include
enlarged locker rooms, and a
double-decked press box.

Taylor Stars in Probe of Movies

Behind Scene
Red Activity
Told by Actor
Howard DaSylva Is
Named as 'Pinkish'
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-Actor
Robert Taylor, starring at the big
investigation of Communism in
Hollywood, today named Karen
Morley as a "disrupting influence"
at meetings of the Screen Actors
Guild.
The handsome actor told the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities he has seen plenty
of things "on the pink side" in
the movie business. He said in-
dications of Communist activity
there have increased in the last
four or five years.
Taylor said Howard Da Sylva
always "seems to have something
to say at the wrong times" at Ac-
tors' Guild sessions. He did not
identity either Da Sylva or Karen
Morley.
The inquiry, playing for the
first time to standing room only
in the huge caucus room of the'
old House Office Building, also
turned up:
Testimony from James K. Mc-
Guinness, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
executive, that 10 or 15 leading
Hollywood writers are Commu-
nists.
A promise from Committee
Chairman J. Parnell Thomas
that evidence of red spying will
unfold next week.
But for the hundreds of onlook-
ers who crammed the hearing
room and the halls and steps out-
side, the handsome Taylor was the
center of interest. Most of them
were gurgling women.
The tone for Taylor's appear-
ance was set when he lifted his
hand to take the oath to tell the
truth. .
"Get your hand back," yelled a
photographer. "You're hiding your
face."
Taylor complied as if his favor-
ite director was giving orders.
Cold Wave to
End 'Summer'
Indian Summer should end to-
day, according to the U. S. Weath-
er Bureau in Ypsilanti, which pre-
dicts a sharp drop in temperature
tonight if the Montana cold front
arrives.
Yesterday the highest recorded
temperature was 81 degrees, with
humidity under 50 per cent all
day. Winds ranged in the vicinity
of 10 to 15 miles per hour.
Shirt-sleeved students took ad-
vantage of the good weather in a
number of ways. The "Yard," all
the area between the Library, 'U'
Hall, Natural Science and around,
was dotted with resting students,
as were the steps of most of the
buildings. Bicyclists pedaled
around some of the quieter
streets, and camera fans found
the Arb and other scenery still
colorful.

TOMORROW'S TRAIN-University students w ill get a chance to view the "Train of Tomorrow,"
which will be in Ann Arbor Saturday afternoon. The new type train, which will bring 300 newspaper
editors here to view the Wolverine-Minnesota grid clash, will be parked on a siding near the
Stadium. The diesel powered train features an As tra Dome atop each coach.

NOSTALGIC ALUMNI:
Theme for Marching Band
Program Is Academic Life

By ALICE BRINKMAN
The thousands of loyal alumni
who "come home" Saturday to
witness the annual "War for the
Little Brown Jug" will also be re-
minded of their more academic
campus life by the Michigan
Marching Band.
Between battles, the first sell-
out crowd of the season will view
the band as it performs a tribute
to the various schools and col-
leges of the University in a series
of formations.
Many of the alumni who will
jam-pack the stadium will re-
member the two guest conductors,
Nicholas Falcone, director of the

To'U' Today
Ceremonies transferring the re-
cently completed temporary class-
room building and storage build-
ing to the University from the
Federal Works Agency will be held
at 10 a.m. today.
Vice-President Robert M. BriggsI
will receive the buildings on be-
half of the University. Federal
Works Agency representatives will
also be present at the ceremonies.
The temporary classroom build-
ing, erected back of the Health
Service, has 20 classrooms, 12 of-
fices, laboratory and restroom fa-
cilities and storage space. The
storage building is located back
of University Hospital.
Both buildings were acquired by
the University under Public Law
697, which provides real property
and the equipment for furnishing
that property to universities and
colleges. Under the plan, the Fed-
eral Works Agency furnished the
buildings and heating plant, while
the University provided the site
and the foundation and did the
grading.

University bands from 1927 to
1935. and Louis Elbel, a former
Michigan student who wrote "The
Victors." Falcone, who was forced
to resign directorship of the bands
because of illness, will conduct
"The Yellow and Blue" while Eibel
will lead "The Victors."
The last time Falcone conducted
the band at a Minnesota-Michi-
gan game was in 1933. "Michigan
got the Jug that year," Falcone
commented in an interview, "and
I think they'll get It again this
year."
When Falcone took over the
bands in 1927 there were only 2
pieces in the Marching Band as
compared with 131 at the present
time. Before he left in 1935 there
were 106.
The program Saturday will also
include the traditional salute to
Minnesota. The band will form a
block "M" to the tune of "Minne-
sota Rouser" and "Hail, Minne-
sota." Following this they will
invert the "M" to face the Michi-
gan.stands.
Fire Sweeps
New England
Two Killed as Blaze
Spreads Destruction
GOOSE ROCKS BEACH, Me.,
Oct. 22-(IP)-New or rekindled
forest fires today spread destruc-
tion through woodlands of the
northeastern states, where already
two lives have been lost and $3,-
000,000 in property loss suffered in
rich New England vacation terri-
tory.
An end to a prolonged drought
was not even predicted and danger
mounted rather than abated.
Maine led the fire casualty areas
with gale winds driving 40 scat-
tered fires, the worst in this vil-
lage, near the Kennebunkport
Summer Artists Colony, where
scores of families were forced to
flee flames which destroyed more
than 200 buildings.
New fires were reported today in
New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticutt, and New England.
Reports of looting and arson
came from some sectors where
fire-fighters, aided by volunteers,
battled fatigue as well as the
flames.
At Goose Rocks Beach, a wind
shift heightened the threat to
Kennebunkport, a village of 2,000,
after fire had swept a five-mile
stretch of coastline. New fires
broke out today at Bar Harbor
and in the Waterboro area, over a
broad front.

Conmmuiists
Will Combat
Marshall Plan
World Domination Is
Charged by Zhdanov
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, Oct.'"22-Andri A.
Zhdanov in a declaration pub-
lished today called upon Commu-
nists and their sympathizers
everywhere in the world to join
in a battle against what he
charged were attempts by the
United States to achieve "world
domination by American imperial-
ism."
Zhdanov, a member of the
Soviet Communist Party Polit-
buro, said Russia would take
the lead in attempts to wreck
the Marshall Plan and prevent
the United States from making
a "49th state."
He compared the "ruling circles"
of the United States with "Hitler-
ites," and said America was fol-
lowing a policy of preparing for
"new military adventures."
His remarks were contained
in a two-page spread in the
Communist Newspaper Prav-
da disclosing for the first time
his summation of the interna-
tional situation before the nine-
nation conference in Poland
which led to creation of the In-
ternational Communist Infor-
mation Bureau in Belgrade.
Iis thesis on the United States
was this:
Before the Second World War
United States "imperialists" fol-
lowed an isolationist policy of
non-interferen'ce in the affairs of
Europe and Asia, but in the new
post-war period "Wall Street
bosses" launched a new policy.
"They put forward a program
of using all their military aid
and economic might, not only
to hold onto but to strengthen
the foreign positions in the war
period and to expand-rplac-
ing Germany and Japan with
America in the world market.
"The United States set as its
goal world domination by Ameri-
can imperialism."
He pictured "American reac-
tionaries" as alarmed at successes
of Socialism in the Soviet Union
and elsewhere and said they~ were
taking upon themselves the job
of "rescuing the Capitalistic sys-
tem from Communism."
He added, "this open expansion-
istic program of the United States
is reminiscent of the extraordi-
nary and infamous defeated pro-
;ram of Fascist aggressors.

Explains His 'Plan'
To RebuildEurope
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 - () -
Secretary of State George C. Mar-
shall said tonight the "Marshall
Plan" was not a plan but a sug-
;estion and "when it is completed
it will truly be a program of the
United States government and not
of any one department or agency.
"I do not believe any project of
our government has ever received
~more careful study and prepara-,
tion than has this problem of th
reconstruction of Europe," Mar-
shall said before the New York

Herald Tribune forum.
(Bob White, Daily reporter is
now attending this nation-wide
forum in New York, and will give

the conference when he returns to
