Control of the little-known bor-
der province of Sinkiang (Chinese
Turkestan) gives Russia the
means to dominate all of Asia, ac-
cording to Prof. John Clark of the
geology department.
Prof. Clark, who spent two and
a half years in Asia with the Ar-
my Engineers during the war, re-
cently returned from a 14-month
trip through Sinkiang and India.
He is the only living western
geologist who has been in Sinki-
ang.
"THE PROVINCE is important
in world affairs because it possess-
es (1) tremendous oil reserves, (2)
the only east-west highway across
Asia and (3) all-weather airfields;"
Prof. Clark declared.
"Surface indications are that
these oil fields are as rich, both
in quantity and quality, as the
fabulous Arabian fields," he said.
"Now that the Communists con-
trol China, Russia can exploit
these oil fields."
RUSSIA'S annual oil produc-
tion is equal to less than two
months of American production
and the output of Russian wells is
falling off, he said. Prof. Clark
pointed out that the importance
of oil in modern warfare makes
the oil reserves of Sinkiang vital
to Russia's war potential.
"Besides containing rich
stores of oil, copper, iron and
coal, Sinkiang is the site of the
only east-west highway across
Asia," Prof. Clark said.
The highway closes the gap be-
tween the Chinese and Russian
railheads, and without it the Rus-,

according to Prof. Clark.
"During the Russian occupation

airfields were constructed. These
airfields form the only all-weather

Asia and can easily be expanded to

world," Prof. Clark said.

TWINKLE, TWINKLE:
Struve, Chicago Astronomer,
Discusses Evolution of Stars
Replies To Charge
By Northwestern 'U'
Employment prospects with
large corporations are better in
Michigan than a recent survey by
Northwestern University indicates,
according to T. Luther Purdom,
director of the Bureau of Appoint-
ments.
Purdom discussed a report by
the director of Northwestern's
placement bureau, Frank S. Endi-
cott, who announced this week
that 169 well-known companies
contacted will require about 25
per cent fewer college graduates
nextyear.
* * *
"APPARENTLY the peak of em-
ployment of inexperienced college
graduates by business and industry
was reached in late 1948 or early
1949," Endicott explained.
Because of the near-comple-
tion of postwar expansion pro-
grams, present hiring is mainly
on a replacement basis, he said,
and lessening demand is evident
in all fields.
Endicott reported that hiring
will be cut as much as 55 per cent
in personnel work, 35 per cent in
sales and chemistry and 25 per
cent in accounting and chemical
engineering.
He foresees "best opportunities"
in insurance and merchandising,
with only "small decreases."
"ALTHOUGH the general ten-
dency is correct," Purdom re-
marked, "the situation doesn't
seem to us as critical as the North-
western report makes it appear."
A bright side of the survey's
employment picture is the ex-
pected increase in college gradu-
ates entering smaller businesses.
Also, Endicott noted, the aver-
age beginning salary for men is
expected to remain the same,
$245 per month.
To solve the growing problem of
how to employ the record number
of graduates, the companies will
survey employment policies and
seek to develop closer .cooperation
with college and universities.
"The prospective drop in oppor-
tunities need not be alarming," Dr.
Endicott pointed out "if the rapid
expansion programs of the last
"z few years are remembered."
Dr. Purdom and Dr. Endicott
agree fully that "plenty of oppor-
tunity still exists for the individual
willing to start wherever he can,
work hard, and let his education
prove its value on the job."
Sutton, Former
Sheriff, Dies Here
Daniel B. Sutton, 77 years old,
former state legislator and Wash-
tenaw County sheriff, died yester-
day at his home, 705 Church St.
Sutton served in the Legisla-
ture from 1912 to 1916. Previous-
ly, he had been sheriff from 1906
to 1910.
Man's theorizing on the evolu-I
tion of stars is similar to an ob-
server from space seeing the earth
for one second and then discuss-
ing the evolution of mankind, ac-
cording to Prof. Otto Struve,
Chairman of the University of
Chicago's Department of Astron-
omy.
Speaking to a capacity crowd.
at Rackham Amphitheater last
night, Prof. Struve outlined two
Free Movie
To End Art
Cinema Year
The Art Cinema League will end
this year's program of motion pic-
tures with the free movie, "Becky
Sharp," at 6, 7:30 and 9 pm. today
and tomorrow at the Architecture
Auditorium.
A tentative schedule for the
coming year has beentset up, in-
cluding "Devil in the 'Flesh,"
"Monsieur Vincent" and "Quar-
tet."
* * *
THE ART CINEMA League, by
keeping prices low and quality
high, competes with the commer-
cial theatres. Members believe that
this competition brings better
movies to all theatres in this area.
The functions of the ACL, ac-
cording to Manager Art Mos-
koff, are to provide cheaply a
type of entertainment which is
not usually fostered by regular
exhibitors; to encourage the
growth of movies as a form of
art; and to financially assist stu-
dent organizations.
"Any student organization,"
Moskoff commented, "is eligible to
co-sponsor a movie-first come,
first serve."
.* * *
POSSIBLE PICTURE presenta-
tions for the ACL are reviewed by
a faculty board consisting of Prof.
Otto Graf, of the German depart-
ment; Prof. Richard Boys, of the
English department; Prof. Lila
Pargment, of the Russian depart-
ment; Prof. George Brigham, of
the Architecture School; Prof.
James 6'Neill, of the French de-
partment; and Prof. Harold Mc-
Farlan, of the Engineering School.
The board screens out poorer
cuass flms, so that each week the
ACL presents only the more
widely acclaimed pictures which
appear inspiring or stimulating.
The ACL uses its profits for va-
rious community services such as
buying books on the cinema for the
library and supporting the Gothic
Film Society.
RECENTLY THE ACL bought a
new motion picture screen for Hill
Auditorium.
Profits from former film show-
ing, are being used in presenting
"Becky Sharp," as a free movie.
This, the first full-length tech-
of the processes by which stars
are believed to rejuvenate.
* * *
"ONE PROCESS begins when
dull stars that are immersed in
dust clouds are bombarded by par-
ticles which add mass and pro-
duce high rotation and bright
luminosity. Such a star spins so
rapidly that its edges flatten, its
equator bulges and rings of dust
particles resembling the rings of
Saturn are formed," Prof. Struve
continued.
The star, loosing more mass
than it gains, he said, also loses
its brightness.
He added that in time such a
star is again immersed in a dust
cloud, and the process starts over
again.
* * *
THIS TYPE of evolution, Prof.
emphasized, has actually been ob-
served and verified through spec-
troscopic surveys of the Milky
Way.
The second process, still a
theory, he said, covers slowly ro-
tating stars that release light by
the changing of hydrogen into
helium and the transformation of
mass into energy.
Our sun, which is of this type,
will eventually burn itself out in
10 billion years, he added.
Gulanties Still
SeekingActs
This year's Gulantics review still
needs additional competent acts.
Tryouts for the show will be held
1 p.m. today in Rm. 3G of the Un-
ion.
,Acts of almost any size, shape or
description can be accommodated
in the Gulantics review. Singing
groups, juggling acts, imitators,
dancers, or unicyclists are just a
few of the varied types of acts
which can be included in the show.
The Gulantics Review was orig-
inated last year by the Men's Glee
Club, the Union, and the League
to provide the campus with an out-
let for local performers, and at the
same time give the campus an en-
tertaining variety show.
Prizes of $100,$75, and $25 will
be awarded to the acts which take
first, second, and third places re-
spectively.
