A PASSING YANK looks at the body of a German soldier who met a violent death when he tried to escape from his trapped tank in the "Lane of Death," between St. Jean de Daye and St. Lo, France, site of terrific action in Normandy. SLOSSON PREDICTS: Attacks on Hitler Demonstrate German Collapse Imminent v "The attempted assassination of Hitler is the type of occurrence which usually precedes complete disintegra- tion of the established government, so we can expect Germany to make quite reasonable offers to the Allies in a short time," Prof. Preston W. Slosson of the history department predicted in his talk yesterday. "The future looks far more favor- able to the Allies than ever before; in fact, the plot, coming at this time, is the best thing that could have hap- pened. The world may expect a more humble and condescending Germany in the next few months," Prof. Slos- son stated. Violence Shows Opposition Since German politicshave been stifled since 1933 when the Nazi party took over, violence is the only means Prof. Baird To Give Program Prof Claribel Baird, of the speech department of Oklahoma College for Women, known to 'U' students for her role as Rhoda in "The Damask Cheek" and for parts in speech de- partment plays, will present a pro- gram in selected readings on famous statesmen at 3 p. m. today in Rack- ham Amphitheater. Prof. Baird will present scenes from' Maxwell Anderson's "Valley Forge," "In Time to Come" by How- ard Koch, "The Patriots" by Sidney Kingsley, and selections from Robert Frost and Edna St. Vincent Millay." With the University for twelve consecutive summers, Prof. Baird has, been with the Michigan Repertory Players for ten years. She is direct- ing "Journey to Jerusalem" to be presented next Wednesday. The program today is sponsored by the Department of Speech and is open to the public. Tryouts for Chorus of Operetta Will Be Held Tryouts for the chorus of "The Chocolate Soldier," the operetta which will be presented August 16 through 19 by the Michigan Reper- tory Players of the Department of Speech, will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., tomorrow at the Lydia Mendelssohn1 Theatre. of anti-Nazi propaganda within Ger- many, he said. The attempted assas- sination of Hitler, which took place on July 20" was a culmination of just such propaganda.' Slosson reiterated the fact that two other attempts on Hitler's life had been made in the past; the first in 1934 by leaders of the Brown Shirts, and the second in 1939 by an explo- sive planted in the Munich beer hall. Although other assassinations have been faked, Prof. Slosson believed that the latest one was a genuine attempt to do away with the Fuehrer because of the injuries sustained. Truman Represents Compromise Turning to the United States' po- litical wars, Prof. Slosson stated that Senator Harry Truman of Missouri, the Democratic vice-presidential can- didate, was a compromise choice among the four factions which make up therDemocratic party. Truman, a southerner, was acceptable to the northern Democrats and to the labor unions because of his liberal voting record, and next to Wallace, was FDR's choice for vice-presidential nominee, Slosson said. Truman, satis- fying the four elements, became the least common denominator of the Democratic party and thereby won the nomination. Truman's chief work has been the investigation of mismanagement and waste funds in war contracts. "He is not a great man, but he has shown himself to be level-headed and intelligent," Slosson stated. Since Roosevelt has given no pledge to continue to hold office for the next four years if he wins the presi- dential election, Prof. Slosson inti- mated that Truman would be a good man to take over the chair if and when FDR resigns. Stenographic Help Needed At 'U' Fresh Air Camp An urgent appeal for stenographic help at the University Fresh Air Camp was made yesterday by Profes- sor Ferdinand Menefee, Director of the Camp. Arrangements can be made, ac- cording to Professor Menefee, for secretaries who would like to work part time each day, possibly four hours, and spend the rest of their time in recreation. They would re- ceive board and room at the camp as well as a salary for their work. Admiral Hart Will Address Med Students 85 Graduates To Enter Service on Saturday Adm. Thomas C. Hart, U. S. N.
