ANNIVERSARY NOTES: Marine Corps Invasion of 'U' Recalled A dmiral RichardE.Byrd To Lecture Here Nov. 20 AP By RAY COURAGE As the Marine Corps celebrated its 172nd anniversary yesterday, many thoughts were turned to the corps' invasion of the University back in July of 1943. The Marines entered the Uni- versity under the V-12 program in 1943. The three years they were here will long be remembered, for it was during this time that expe- rienced combat Marines battled their way through bluebooks, drills and name-calling returning veter- ans. Actually, the last year of the war found the Marine unit on campus consisting of 90 per cent combat veterans, many of them holding citations including the Navy Cross. Cop Honor Flag In true Marine tradition they ended their stay at Michigan by copping the honor flag as winners of the semester-long NROTC Bat-I talion Competition in May, 1946. It was with this same tradition that the company commander re- ceived the kiss bestowed on him by the color girl upon presentation of the award. The time spent by the Marines infiltrating the campus is another comparatively bloodless, but im- portant part of the colorful history of the corps. Many Landings Over 200 landings on foreign soil mark the 172 years of the Ma- rine Corps. Beginning with the first amphibious landing under enemy fire in 1776 up to the mud- dy battle for' Okinawa, the Ma- rines have carried the flag to hard- won victory. Some of the more recent addi- tions to the Marine Corps' annals have provided the most stirring tales to come out of the recent war. America's first successful offen- sive action in the Pacific was the Marine landing on Guadalcanal. A series of landings followed with small bands of Marine detach- ments m e e tin g overwhelming numbers of Japanese troops. Heartened Americans The stories of these landings Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who will appear here in an Oratorical Association lecture at 8:30 p.m. Nov. 20, in Hill Auditorium, is one man who has fulfilled his child- hood ambitions. At the age of ten, he wanted to CTURE JAWS A CAKE-CUTTING-Traditional cake-cutting ceremonies and the reading of the birthday proclamation are highlights of Marine Corps birthday observances at posts and stations around the globe. The Marine Corps celebrated its 172nd anniversary. Gen- eral A. A. Vandegrift, Commandant of the Marine Corps, does the honors in this typical birthday scene. served to hearten the people of America through the darkest days of the war. Probably the most heartening- and the most tragic-of all was the campaign for Iwo Jima, when a small determined group of Ma- rines withstood heavy blows to finally win out in that key step- ping stone to Japan. A famous Ma- rine corps photo snows the heroic band of Marines hoisting the American flag on an Iwo Jima hill. The last year provided a new chapter in the annals of the Corps. It saw a complete reorganizationl of the Fleet Marine Forces, and the forming of the largest Marine Corps Reserve in history. The reorganization of fleet componets has been done in view of atomic warfare, calling for in- creased flexibility of the striking forces. In any eventuality the Marines will be ready. The Marine Corps Reserve has 54,000 "Citizen Marines" scattered across the nation. Many of the veterans on campus belong to the local detachment of the Marine Corps League. These men could be mobilized immediately in event of another national emergency. ' ~ ter,' Barge-Keeper's Daughter,' French Film, To Play Here A new French film, "The Barge- Keeper's Daughter," will be pre- sented by Art Cinema League at 8:30 p.m. Thursday through Sat- urday at Lydia Mendelssohn Thea- tre. Newest in the series of French comedies that began with "The Baker's Wife," the film again stars Josette Day as the wayward woman. Louis Jouvet, who was seen earlier this week in "The Lower Depths," will appear as the exiled prince of a mythical Balkan king- dom. ' Also starred is Elvire Popesco. A satire on fading royalty, the film concerns the love of the prince for a commoner in spite of the people's demands that he take over the throne of their crumbling kingdom. The picture is based on Maurice Potter, '0, Dies Following an operation here, Fred W. Potter, 'OOL, former di- rector of the University Alumni Association, died Sunday morning in St. Joseph's Hospital. Potter, a lawyer from Peoria, Ill., was a director of the Alumni Association from 1932 to 1935, and had been very active in the organi- zation since then. Funeral services for Potter, who was assistant manager of the '98 football team, will be held in Henry, Ill., where his body has been taken. Donnay's play, "Education du Prince," and is provided with English subtitles. Reserved tickets for "The Barge- Keeper's Daughter" will go on sale at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the thea- tre box office in the League. Gasless Autos Seen in Future DETROIT, Nov. 10-(P)-Two young chemists today told the American Institute of Chemical Engineers how American engi- neering applied to German ideas may keep automobiles "hundreds of years" after the country's crude petroleum reserves have been ex- hausted. James R. Latta and Scott W. Walker of the Stanolind Oil & Gas Co., Tulsa, Okla., said that "the Government is spending millions on research in this field." "All major oil companies are conducting intensive studies. There is hardly an organic chemi- cal firm in the United States that is not vitally concerned," they said.- The two researchers told the chemical engineers that the Unit- ed States' immense supplies of natural gas and coal would pro- vide raw materials for making premium gasoline at a reasonable cost, with diesel fuel and manyl valuable chemicals as by-products. Set Svanholm To Sing Friday Tenor To Make Ann Arbor Debut Set Svanholm, the Metropoli- tan's Swedish tenor, will make his Ann Arbor debut at 8:30 p.m. Fri- day when he, presents the fourth concert in the regular Choral Un- ion series at Hill Auditorium. Although he made his musical debut in a baritone role with the Royal Opera in Stockholm, he decided to try a higher voice, and established himself as a tenor sev- eral years later singing Radames in Verdi's "Aida." The 36 year old tenor was born in Vesteros, Sweden. He received his formal musical training at the Royal Conservatory in Stockholm and was accepted as a vocal pupil! by John Forsell, director of the Royal Opera. Svanholm made his American debut in New York in the fall of 1946. Since then he has sung most of the Wagnerian roles with the Metropolitan Opera in New York and on tour. Svanholm's program Friday will include numbers by Brahms, Strauss and Schubert. He will be assisted by Leo Taubman at the piano. A limited number of tick- ets may still be obtained at the University Musical Society's of- fice in Burton Tower. Veterans in training under the G.I. Bill will receive a notice frcm the Veterans Administration with future subsistance checks advising them not to cash them if they be- lieve they are not entitled to the' full amount of the payment. The notice will inform veterans that they are still in training ac- cording to VA records and urge them to contact the Veterans Service Bureau, Rm. 1514 in the Rackham Building before cashing their checks if they have inter- rupted their training or believe their checks represent an over- payment of their accounts. If veterans are entitled to only a part of the money, the VA will make every effort to adjust their records and issue another check without delay. The notice is designed to help eliminate subsistence allowance overpayments and the necessity for refunds by veterans. Veterans who possess a machine gun, machine pistol or any firearm capable of firing more than one shot with one continuous pull of the trigger are required to register it with the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue.. Failure to comply may result in a fine and/or imprisonment under the National Firearms Act. To secure fuller details, veterans may contact the nearest Alcohol Tax Unit Office of the Bureau of Internal Revenue or write to the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue,, Washington 25, D.C. Four specific benefits are now available to dependents upon the death of a veteran of any war. Under present law,athe VA is authorized to pay up to $150 for funeral and burial expenses of a war veteran, provide an American flag for burial purposes, arrange for internment in a national cemetery and provide a grave marker. Applications for these benefits may be procured from any VA of- fice, service organization, or chap- ter of the American Red Cross. Benefits are available only when the veteran has been discharged under conditions other than dis- honorable.

At twelve, he trav- elled around the world alone. At fourteen, he drew up detailed plans for a trip to the North Pole. Last March he returned from his sixth polar adventure. Reviewing all his experiences, Admiral Byrd reports, "By far the most interesting adventure was made in 1933-35 in the expedition to the South Pole." It was during this expedition that he spent the long winter night alone making scientific investigations. The story of this trip is told in his new motion picture, "Discov- ery," which took him five years to piece together. This is the film which Admiral Byrd will present in his lecture here. He will also present facts which he has learned in his most recent exploration, the Naval Antarctic Expedition he led to the South Pole, and which discovered more hitherto unknown areas than any expedition in history. As a result of his many expeditions, Admiral Byrd has been awarded a total of seventy medals. Tickets for the lecture and film will be placed on sale early because of the great demand for seats. The Hill Auditorium box office will be open for sales from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 5 p.m. Nov. 17, 18 and 19, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 to 8:30 p.m. Nov. 20. ii N C A L L T 0 B R I T I S H W O M E N - This poster on war-blitzed site at Ludgate Circus, London, urges British women to help increase production by returning to industry..
