THE IMIC I DAil- FACE THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA Non-Essential' Ex-Daily Man 'Pat' Conger Dislikes, Tires May Go Nazi Food--Pictures, Words Prove It To Government I i Bor Ihu FdToday Helcips Bomnber Fzuzd MAJOR LEAGUES: I Saturday And Sunday Set' For Nation-Wide Scrap Rubber Treasure-Hunt WASHINOTON, June 19.-41-A New talks of buying up tires from owners of "non-essential" automo- biles was heard in the capital today, while officials sought to step up the nation-wide scrap rubber drive with week-end "treasure hunts." Wendell Lund, Director of WPB's Labor Production Division, told a special House Committee studying means of getting workers to war plants: "Tires on non-essential private automobiles must .be purchased by the government and allocated to war workers who are cooperating fully in carrying full loads of workers." The Petroleum Industry War Council, which has charge of the scrap rubber collection, sand it had "set Saturday and Sunday, when most Americans will be at home, for a nation-wide week end treasure hunt .of every attic, cellar, bin, and shed for unused and scrap particles of rubber. "Rubber brought to light in the, treasure hunt may be dropped off at a local service station on the way to church Sunday morning or on the way to work Monday," the council said. Soiarl Swing Features Hardy Interned Correspondent Thiks Bombing Raids Not EnoughTo Win Home from two war-torn years in Europe, Clinton B. "Pat" Conger, United Press correspondent and a former Daily editor, settled down to- day to pick up-via home cooking- the 60 pounds he .lost while interned for 150 days in a Nazi camp for American diplomats and press repre- sentatives. Son of the late S. Beach Conger, II, foreign correspondent for 30 years, and brother of S. Beach Conger, III, who was expelled from Germany in 1939 for intimating dissension in the Nazi high command, Pat has spent the past two years shuttling back and forth across the war newsfronts of Europe. Rotund Pat Conger left Ann Arbor in February, 1940, for Oslo,. his first stop. He weighed 215 pounds. When he arrived back in New York June 1 on the Swedish diplomat ship, Drott- ningholm, he weighed but 155 pounds. He says he is skinny. Reduced 'Without Effort' He had reduced his figure with- out the slightest effort while stay- ing with other newsmen at the Grand Hotel in Bad Nauheim, in Germany's Rhineland area. "They just didn't give us enough food," Conger explains, "but I was luckier than most of the men-I went in with a good reserve." Before America's entrance into the war, foreign newsmen got double ration cards, but in the internment camp-eight days after Pearl Har- bor-they were cut to one card, the same ration as for every German. "The Germans could live on it," Conger said, "but they had been. training down on reduced rations for eight years and they just tried to train us down too fast." "An appeal to the American charge d'affaires increased the rations to one and one-half, which helped, but the meals were still pretty thin. A lot of the fellows were . sick, and many of them got bad teeth." Coffee Was Money Before his internment, Conger found that a cupful of coffee beans was just about the most valuable unit of exchange in Nazi Germany. "I bribed a tobacconist with one- eighth of a pound of raw coffee beans and got a pack of 25 cigarettes every day for two and one-half months." The interned newsmen set up a university of their own in the camp and for nearly half a year they con- ducted 40 courses for each other. "We offered everything from bridge lessons to a course on aesthet- ic Indian dancing. I was a bridge instructor, but it wasn't too long be- fore we dropped Culbertson in favor of poker bridge." British Bombing Of Berlin Light A veteran of 40 air raids and more than 80 alerts, Conger only once took to shelter. Second Dance To Be Tonight From 9To Held 12 The summer social season will swing into its second evening at the League tonight with Gordon Hardy, His Piano and His Orchestra play- ing in the ballroom from 9 p.m. to midnight for the second of the sem- ester's weekend dances. It is emphasized by the Social di- rector, speaking for the League Coun- cil, that these dances are being held for all the students on campus dur- ing the summer term. Any stu- dent, man or coed, may attend whe- ther with a date or alone. This plan has been used by the League with success throughout a number of eight week sessions in the past and this year has been ex- tended for the benefit of the stu- dents of the new full summer sem- ester. The dances may serve as a means of getting acquainted for the summer population which features that now famous ratio of five to one. ~U~ "The anti-aircraft guns weren't bad, but the whistling of dud AA shells drove us to cover. The duds, which fail to go off in the air (at about 10,000 feet) fall to the ground and explode on contact. They did more damage to Berlin than did the RAF." It's wishful thinking in Conger's opinion, to believe that 1,000 bombers a night can bend Germany to her knees in short order. "War industries are being moved with great speed to the East and South and the bomb-smashed Ruhr plants just aren't being rebuilt. "The Russian war is extremely popular throughout all of Europe. Remember, even the anti-Nazi Ger- mans would prefer to live under Nazi rule than under the Communists.

Second front? Conger thinks the west wall of the Seigfried Line is vir- tually impregnable and looks for pos- sible action through Norway to join Russian troops at Murmansk, or through the invasion and use of Italy as a bombing base to hit South German industrial centers. Here for a month's vacation, Pat Conger is anxious to be re-assigned to " the London bureau of United Press. He is "visiting" his mother, Mrs. S. Beach Conger, 1017 Rose Ave. NOw he doesn't know what to do with his pre-Nazi diet suits. As Pat said, "They're so baggy on me that I could have smuggled another person across the Atlantic inside of my suit." Pat is a 1937 graduate of the Uni- versity and served as an associate editor of The Daily during his senior year, Ingersoll Drafted NEW YORK, June 19-(AP)-Ralph M. Ingersoll, editor of the newspaper "PM," has been drafted and ordered to report for induction next Wed- nesday. The paper said today that its 41- year-old editor received his order yesterday, one day after he was noti- fied by his.local draft board that, he had been classified as 1A. "He won't appeal," the paper said. Will Interview Typists A representative of the United States Civil Service Commission will be at the office of the United States Employment Service, 312 E. Huron St., Ann Arbor at 1 p.m. Monday to interview typists and stenographers for employment in Washington. Pledged to a bond a month in the University's Bomber Scholarship Fund, the Michigan Wolverine will open its summer campaign for funds with a "Victory Dance" from 9 to 12 tonight. Recorded music and refreshments will feature the evening of enter- tainment. Arthur Biggins is in charge of the dance and tickets may be obtained at the Wolverine or from him.

T1htens Hale America Grip Ben Hogan's Amazing 62 ASnares Second Honors In Par-Biiting Parade CHICAGO, June 19. -UP5- Mike Turnesa proved to the golfing world today he isn't traveling on the fam- ily name of his six famous brothers -in particular Willie, the 1938 Na- tional Amateur champion, and Ser- geant Jimmie, runner-up for the 1942 P.G.A. title. The 33-year-old Michael from White Plains, N.Y., wllo never before came close to winning a major tour- nament, carved a 66, six under par, today to snatch the lead at the half- way mark of the Hale America Na- tional Open Tournament over the links of the Ridgemoor Country Club. Turnesa's 66, coupled with his 65I yesterday, gave him a 36-hole total of 131-13 under par for the two rounids. Turnesa met the challenge of tiny Ben Hogan, the Texas born star from Hershey, Pa., who shot 62. He smashed the course record of 65 es- tablished five years ago and tied yes- terday by Turnesa and Otey Cris- man, little-known pro from Selma, Ala. However, Hogan still was three strokes behind Turnesa. Back of Turnesa and Hogan was a quartet composed of Horton Smith, Pinehurst. N.C.; veteran Lawson Lit- tle of Monterey, Calif., the 1940 open champion; Herman Barron, pro from White Plains, N.Y., and Jimmy Dem- aret. Smith and Little had 36-hole totals of 135 while Barron and Dem- aret stood at 136. The six leaders' combined score was 57 strokes under Ridgemoor's 36-36-72 par. Turnesa, in overcoming Hogan's challenge, murdered the four par 5 holes, getting two eagles and two birdies-a total of 14 shots against a par 20. Restriction Plan Fails To Stop All Star Game WASHINGTON, June 19. -(W}- A Navy official said today that the new policy restricting activities of Naval,, Marine and Coast Guard would not interfere with an all star baseball game at Cleveland July 7. The policy, announced yesterday, puts j 48-hour limit on the length of time that Navy and Coast Guard sports teams may be absent from their normal stations. The only ex- ceptions to this rule will be those authorizedi by the Bureau of/ Naval Personnel here. In the case of the scheduled game between'star baseball players in the Army and Navy and a team composed of big league players still in civilian life, it was said, only four men now in Naval service will require special permission to play in Cleveland.

Finally, what amounted to an official in- vestigation was undertaken and a complete statistical report prepared. The report, it was understood, showed that a total of about 11,200,- 000 pounds of aluminum and other scrap were collected-compared with 20,000,000 pounds which had been predicted. Of this scrap, only 6,400,- 000 pounds was in the form of alum- inum, contrasted with a,15,000,000- pound forecast, La Guardia Scored Of the scrap obtained, about 5,700,- 000 pounds of aluminum ingot actu- ally has been sold to the RFC Metals Reserve Co. for resale to war indus- tries and use in war production. Informed officials said delays in shipping the collected pots and pans to concentration points had extended 'until January of this year-in Maine -and that final shipments of scrap material were not made to aluminum smelters until late in April. Fur- ther, an official report declared, there was a "tendency of some smel- CLASSIFIED DIRE CT ORY LAUNDERING LAUNDRY - 2-1044. Sox darned. Careful work at low price. 2c WANTED WANTED PLEASE-Some nice lady to throw my shirts in a no-starch wash with her husband's or son's and do them like mom does. Will ters to delay the smelting of their aluminum scrap in the interest of their regular business." WPB officials have made no secret of their criticism of Mayor F. H. La Guardia, of New York, then direc- tor of the Office of Civilian Defense which handled the- pots-and-pans campaign, for eliminating junk deal- ers as intermediaries in the alum- inum salvaging. Other causes in- cluded a lack of adequate transporta- tion facilities, failure of local offi- cials to take responsibility for load- ing the scrap, failure of local chair- men to notify WPB when their col- lections were completed, and the delay in smelting. New England Leads New England states made the best showing, the final tabulation showed, States showing worst returns were Mississippi, Georgia and South Caro- lina. For total collections, Pennsyl- vania led with 898,058 pounds, New York was second with 895,579, and Massachusetts third with 735,735. New aluminum plants to be con- structed by early 1943 are expected to avert any dangerous shortage in the months to come. Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones told a Senate committee on May 9 that production has reached a billion pounds an- nually as compared with 540 million pounds last year and that he hoped for a three-billion-pound capacity in 1943.
