TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1949 4 OIL, ROADS, AIRFIELDS BIG FACTORS: Clark Believes Sinkiang Key to Asia * ** * * CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING 'k ~1 i 1 By JOE TANNENBAUM 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-, J m m -.- o a r FORSALE_ TUXEDO, TAILS-Size 36. $15 each. 202 Hinsdale, 2-4591. )25 USED GAS STOVE suitable for frater- nity house use.

"During the Russian occupation of Sinkiang in the late 1930's, six airfields were constructed. These airfields form the only all-weather * * * air link between Russia and East Asia and can easily be expanded to accommodate heavy bombers and transports." "Thus Chinese Turkestan is one of the most strategic areas in the world," Prof. Clark said. .4_ I Continuous from 1 P.M. m Job Prospects In Michigan Good --Purdom .0 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. DECEMBER IS JOY MONTH R-0 1141Id I I I I h, 'n Xi !
