Conference on FULL SUPPORT?

IIII

(EDITOR'S NOTE, This is the third
n a series of dispatches on conditions
n post-war France by a former Uni-
versity student now studying at the
University of Paris).
By RAGNAR L. ARNESEN
(Special to The Daily)
PARIS, France, Nov. 28-(De-
layed) -America's Thanksgiving
Day invaded various corners of
France yesterday when many res-
olute Yankees sat down before aI
traditional fowl with the thoughtsI
of mother's pumpkin pie steaming
in, the backs of their minds.
At the rear of Madame Paul
Genette's restaurant on the rue
Subsistence
Regulation Is
Reorganized
University student-veterans who
plan to interrupt their training at
the conclusion of the present Fall
Semester will receive subsistence
payments for an additional fifteen
days beyond the effective date of
their official termination of train-
ing under a recent Veterans Ad-
ministration regulation.
Payments will automatically be
made and educational entitlement
reduced accordingly unless vet-
erans who do not desire the ex-
tension of subsistence benefits no-
tify the Veterans Administration,
in writing, not later than Jan. 7,
1948.
The following form is suggested
for notification:
"This is to notify you that I will
interrupt my training at the end
of the Fall Semester, February 7,
1948. I do not desire the fifteen
days extension of subsistence al-
lowances. Signature, "C" Number,
Reference DT7AGBTNV''
Notification should be sent to
Registration and Research Sec-
tion, Michigan Unit, Veterans Ad-
ministration, Guardian Building,
500 Griswold Street, Detroit 26,
Michigan.
Irish playwright ennex Rob-
inson, director of the famous Ab-
bey Theatre of Dublin, will speak
on "Making a National Theatre,"
at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Rackhan
Lecture Hall.

Montsouris a glittering table was
laid last night. Fourteen Amer-
icans, from adozen states, ex-
claimed over the dainty spoons,
the flowers, the "real linen nap-
kUs.'
They were Madame Genette's
"demi-pensionnaires," accustomed
to the daily clatter of cutlery and
the shouts of "Deux potages, un
rosbit! Pardon, Monsier, pardon."
Give Thanks Together
Tonight France and America
were giving thanks together. All
the resources of the tiny restau-
rant had been marshalled for the
grand fete.
The French cuisine can be ele-
gant in any surroundings-the
poorest family always has its hors
d'oeuvres, followed by a meat
course, the legumes, the cheese
(rationed now), the dessert. There
is a logic of the palate, you learn
in France. Each dish, each flavor
in its place.
Chicken Instead
There was no turkey at Gen-
ette's last night, but there issued
forth from the little kitchen four-
teen plates of tender chicken,
daintily garnished with lettuce.
iraoition smiled from the chest-
nuts which followed the vege-
tables. Cooked with a sort of syrup,
they closely resembled sweet po-
tatoes.
Others File in
The American colony had come
early, and soon the other regular
customers began to file in from the
cold outdoors with wondering
glances at the assembly in the
back. "A farewell party" was no
doubt the general conclusion-
Madame Genette is used to them.
At last the "piece de resistance"
was brought in royally from the
kitchen for a preliminary inspec-
tion-an apple pie, made from
white flour and sugar gleaned
from someone's hoard of imported
Stateside rarities.
Informal Singing
Someone started "Carry Me
Back to Old Virginny," State pride
rang out in song, which descended
into confusion and rose againin
"Chevaliers de la Table Ronde"
(or Aupres de ma Blonde).
Accompanied by a great pound-
ing on tables, Monsier Genette
came away from the kitchen to
take his bow with his wife. In spite
of 3,000 miles, a shortage of all
varieties of foodstuffs, Thanks-
giving Day had been a great suc-
cess in the 14th arondissement.

Federalists To Make Survey
On Economic Aid to Europe

Economic aid to Europe will be
the subject of an experiment by

unite on a foreign policy program.
Copies of the Federalist Resolu-
tion will be circulated tomorrow,
Thursday and Friday through
men's and women's dormitories,'
University Terrace. the Law Quad,
and fraternity and sorority houses,

sign 'yes' or 'no'," Miss Rabinowitz
said.
The resolution urges "full sup-'
port of the administration's Euro-
pean Recovery Bill presented to
Cong':ess," as a form of economic
help to the people of Europe.
The resolution continues:
"The government has two alter-
natives:
"1. It can shape and administer
economic aid in an effort to se-
cure allegiance of the countries
helped, and thus improve the stra-
tegic position of the U.S. in its
current struggle for power with
Russia.
"2. It can make economic help
the first step of a determined pol-
icy to achieve peace by halting
polarization of nations. contribut-
ing to their independent political
strength and inducing their par-
ticipation in a stronger United
Nations with power to make and
enforce law on the international
level."
Favoring the second course, the
Resolution urges a "broadminded
economic bill" to eliminate "pawns
in a game for power" and to set
up a representative world govern-
ment.
"The practical issue to be decid-
ed upon is direct help from the
U.S. or NO help at all," the Res-
olution states. .'
