NO PINCH FELT HERE:
Strikes Ignored By University Foundry
By NORM MILLER :
While the nation feels the pinch
of the halt in steel, iron, and alum-
inum production, the University.
continues to receive its supply of
metal fittings from its own foun-4
dry.
Located on the top floor of the
East Engineering Bldg., the foun-
dry is operated by students of the
metal processing department and,
a staff of engineering and profes-
sional iron workers.S
EVERYT G from manhole
covers to bookends are turned out : . ..
by the foundry, whose products \:
figure in the daily life of nearly *...;,,n.
every student and department in }
the University. .-
Even the iron "fingers" which
are used in the General Library's
distribution system and help
carry a book from the shelves
to the hands of knowledge-hun-
gry students are a product of
the foundry.

PARTS FOR engineering labor-
atories, pulleys, machine and
boiler and furnace parts are sup-
plied by the foundry, which can
handle any weight casting up to
one-half ton, according to Prof.
Franklyn Rote of the metal pro-
cessing department.
The basic piece of equipment
is a large cupola which is used
for melting cast iron. The cu-
pola handles 7,000 tons of iron
an hour and has a smoke stack
extending on to the roof of the
building.
Molten metal from the cupola,
or any of the five high frequency
furnaces is poured into a flask
which is a metal box containing
a mold. The mold is formed by
placing the pattern to be repro-
duced in the flask and ramming
special powder into the flask.
When the pattern is removed the

and is poured into a mold. The metal here, is to be used for
casting pulleys, and is part of a laboratory exercise for students.
The goggles worn by the men are to protect the eyes against the
intense light given off by the metal.
Hope Held
For Reform
Of Germanty
Dorr Says U.S.
Mustn't Give Up
America's "disappointing" pro-
gram in Germany should not
cause us to give up trying to
democratize that country, Prof.
Harold Dorr of. the political
science department said yesterday.
Speaking at a meeting of the
American Association of Univer-
sity Women, Prof. Dorr termed
the democratization of Germany
"disappointing but not a failure."
He said abandonment of the plan
by the U.S. would be a great mis-
take.
* * *
AMONG encouraging factors
listed by Prof. Dorr are a grow-
ing trend toward "democratic
thinking" from the high echelons
of government to the peasant level,
a sizable electoral reform effort,
and an increasing number of Ger-
man liberals.
The U.S. occupation govern-
ment has had only four years in
which to attempt to educate the
Germans to democracy, he
pointed out. In terms of the
centuries covered by German
history, this is an exceedingly
short time in which to try to ef-
fect major changes, he said.
There are many discouraging
things evident in Germany, Prof.
Dorr continued. nAmerican polling
of "German opinion has revealed
that more than half the people
still think national socialism was a
good idea, that the Germans are
incapable of democratic self-
government and that economic
security is preferable to freedom.
THE GREATEST obstacle to
German democratization and self-
government is the multitude of
fears in Europe, Prof. Dorr em-
phasized.
Germany is afraid of Russia.
France is afraid that America,
will permit Germany to re-arm.
Britain is afraid of the rising
might of German industry.
All these fears-together with
the cold war-combine to make
the path of democracy a thorny
one in Germany, Prof. Dorr said.

WOLFE 'OUTFOXED:
Pledges Give Sigma Chi
Quick Trip Into Canada
By JIM BROWN
Don Wolfe,-'50BAd., is still won-
dering why he happened to end up
on a lonely road near Maidstone,
Ontario in the dark hours just
before dawn Tuesday morning.
Wolfe, a Sigma Chi, was seized
in front of the Union about 10
p.m. Monday by four of his fra-
ternity pledges and "taken for a
ride" across the Detroit River to a
desolate spot about 16 miles out-
side of Windsor.
POINTING out that the pledges
had unsuccessfully attempted to

Fleming pleaded guilty at his
trial Tuesday to misappropriating
some $15,000 in county tax money
during his 1941-1948 term of of-
fice.

kidnap another fraternity brother
two days earlier, Wolfe said, "I
still can't figure out why they
elected me."
After tying his hands and feet
and covering him with coats on
the floor of the car to smuggle
him past the customs officials
at the Detroit-Windsor tunnel,
the pledges deposited Wolfe on
an out-of-the-way rural road-
minus his money and watch.
Finally reaching a nearby farm,
Wolfe aroused the owner-to dis-
cover that he spoke only French.
After trying sign language and
guttural grunts, Wolfe finally
called the Canadian Provincial Po-
lice, who relayed the distress call
through the Michigan State po-
lice, to the Ann Arbor police-
finally reaching Associate Dean of
Students, Walter B. Rea.
* * *
DEAN REA then called the
Sigma Chi house and Wolfe was
finally rescued at the Windsor
customs office by four of his fra-
ternity brothers.
While Wolfe carries no hard
feelings toward his pledge broth-
ers, he said that they just "added
to the burden" of their informal
initiation, which they are cur-
rently undergoing.
powder forms the mold into which
the metal is poured.

WHEN COQLED the casting is
removed and placed in a coffin
shaped machine which cleans the
casting and removes traces of the
molding powder.
An essential part of the foun-
dry's operations is its testing lab-
oratory. Here special instruments
test the qualities of the castings
and determine tensile strengths of
the metals.
Iron, aluminum, brass, bronze,
and gold and silver are some of
the metals cast in the foundry.
The foundry, which is the oldest
University plant of its kind, is
also doing metallurgical research
for the government, according to
Rote.

Tavern Owners
Cited on Charge
Two Ann Arbor tavern pro-
prietors have been cited in Detroit
hearings set for next Wednesday
by the local policetdepartment, on
charges of selling to minors.
They are David Keaton, owner
of a tavern at 111 E. Ann St. and
William G. Skinner, who runs a
bar at 117 E. Washington.
Son of Illinois
President Will
Cheer for 'M'
"When I root for Michigan at
Champaign Saturday," Arthur
Stoddard, '53, said yesterday, "I'll
be stabbing my father in the
back."
"Only figuratively speaking, of
course," he added hastily.
* * *
BACK OF THIS projected patri-
cide is the fact that Stoddard's
father is University of Illinois
President George D. Stoddard. But
in spite of this the younger Stod-
dard's loyalties have never
swerved.
He has had his Michigan T-
shirt especially cleaned for the
trip home and will go into the
lion's den of Champaign wear-
ing it and vigorously waving a
Michigan banner.
His parents have kept their
opinions of his actions to them-
selves. "My mother," Stoddard
said, "only warned me to have
Michigan lose."
HIS PARENTS also haven't
sent their son any inside infor-
mation on Saturday's game. "I
guess for that you'll have to read
our boy Tommy (Thomas Devine,
a Detroit reporter)," he said.
Stoddard said he decided to
attend Michigan because it was
better than any other school
he'd heard of.
"No female applicants, no fe-
male applicants at all."
Such was the complaint of Capt.
William Evans and Lt. M. W.
Hanna, of Personnel Procurement
Team 1, now at the Union to re-
cruit students for the Army Air
Force.
"WE JUST WANT them for of-
ficers candidate school - that's
all," Lt. Hanna explained, adding

that women graduating from OCS
would, like men, be appointed sec-
ond lieutenants.
He explained that women are
not trained for any special job
but can take their pick when
they graduate. "Some are as-
signed to a WAAF organization
although most women are in
personnel with others helping
out the medics or in orderly
rooms."
Lack of adequate publicity was
cited by Capt. Williams as the
reason why women fail to apply.

HE SAID that in the recruiting

sin and Michigan no female appli-
cants had as yet been interviewed.
