THIE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8; 1945 PHANTOM LADY: Tokyo Rose A GI Invention; Helps Morale of Americans By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 7- The Navy jocularly cited Tokyo Rose, today as a morale builder for American for- ces in the Pacific, but records of gov- ernment radio agencies produced these conclusions: There is no Tokyo Rose; the name is strictly a G. I. invention: The name has been applied to at least two lilting feminine voices waft-I ed over the Japanese radio. Regular Announcer U. S. government radio monitors have concluded that Rose is both a regular woman announcer on radio Tokyo short wave programs and the clever girl on the Zero Hour shows. Whoever she may be, the Navy praised Tokyo Rose's ability to War Victims To Get Clothes Before Winter Clothing contributed by the Ameri- can people will reach millions of war victims overseas before winter, a re- port from the United National Cloth- ing Collection revealed yesterday. The report was sent to George H. Gabler, local chairman of the cloth- drive. Included in the report is a state- ment from President Truman in which he pointed out.: "By meeting and exceeding their goal of 150,000,000 pounds of cloth- ing, the American people havehac- complished the task assigned them by the late Franklin D. Roosevelt in a cause that was close to his heart." , Gabler added, "Every person who helped our community collect ap- proximately 100,000 pounds of cloth- ing for overseas war relief should feel proud of having participated in this great cause."

HARALD OLSEN, Bookbinder 815 Brookwood - - - Phone 2-2915 "bring laughter and entertainment to our men and women." The legend of Tokyo Rose has grown steadily since the summer of 1943 but government monitors listen- ing in 24 hours a day have never heard the word "Tokyo Rose" over a Japanese-controlled Far Eastern Radio. First Public Mention Tokyo Rose first was mentioned publicly in the spring of 1943 when newspapers carried a story from the Aleutians about a Japanese woman broadcaster known by the name to servicemen in the area. When servicemen speak of Tokyo Rose, they seemingly refer to the mistress of ceremonies on the "zero liour" dinnertime program. She has a girlish voice and a manner de- scribed as gay and clever. Her ap- parent purpose is to make her listen- ers homesick. The entertainer usually calls her- self "Annie of Radio Tokyo," "Little Orphan Annie," or "Your favorite enemy Anne." Legend has it that Tokyo Rose al- most routinely heralds the arrival of new divisions in a Pacific theatre by welcoming the commanding officers and others by name. 'Maling Faces' Is Topic of Talk Strauss Will Address Rotary Club Members "Making Faces" will be the topic of a talk to be given by Prof. Ivard Strauss, visiting faculty member of the speech department, at noon EWT (11 a. m. CWT) today before mem- bers of the Rotary Club. The various transformations which make it possible for an actor to as- sume widely varied roles on the stage will be demonstrated. Prof. Strauss will use an actor from the summer plays as a model. Prof. Strauss is a member of the board of directors of the Tryout The- atre in Seattle, Wash., and heads its staff as production director. ,ultimatum, French Film To Be Shown Final Foreign Movie Of Summer Session A French production, "Ultimatum "I to be shown at 8:30 p. m. EWT (7:30 p. m. CWT) Friday and Saturday in Rackham auditorium, will be the last foreign film to be presented by the Summer Session Office. The film stars Eric von Stroheim and Dita Parlo and is directed by Robert Wiene. Wiene is famous for the introduction of expressionism into movies in his production of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari." Frank Nugent of the New York Times has written of "Ultimatum": "A strangely vivid, naturalistic ac- count of the war of nerves which al- ways precedes war itself. It is an in- teresting record of the growth of those monstrous fungi-hates, sus- picions, and arrogances which spring up overnight on a shadowed land." Admission is free and the film is supplemented with English titles.

Maybe it was a whimsical desire to achieve a rainbow effect to brighten up the day, or maybe it was just destructive spite that prompted someone to open two large cans, of paint which were being used at 614 Monroe St., mix them together and add gasoline to one can. Edward Mulreed, 1426 Broad- way, reported the incident to city police, pointing out that whatever the motive, the liquids were made worthless. LANSING, Aug. 7-P)--The State Land Office Board voted today to permit discharged servicemen to buy tax delinquent lands without com- petitive bidding from other prospec- tive purchasers. Auditor General John D. Morrison Board chairman, said the Board had rejected the proposal of a Ferndal veterans counseling agency that ser- vicemen be allowed to buy the state- owned lands at less than their ap- praised value and that entire plots be preserved for veterans home sites Morrison asserted the law required that the landssbe sold for not less than the appraised valuation and that the Board believed veterans might not want to be segregated into special areas. However, he said, the Board was willing to abandon its traditiona policy of requiring competitive bid- ding for its lands and would sell them without bids to veterans who could i present a certificate of eligibility from the State Office of Veteran f-r-- e Affairs, showing that the applicant is financially able to build a home or business place. The veteran also must show that he served at least 90 days in the armed forces and has an honorable discharge. i,. OPA To Decide On Car Prices .

"It is very doubtful if all the new rooms that could be uncovered by a house-to- house canvass would add more than four or five hundred to the present indicated capacity." Tabulation of Rents In its study of Ann Arbor housing, the Bureau of Business Research made a complete tabulation of the room, house and apartment rents fil- ed with the Rent Control Division of the Office of Price Administration. On the basis of this tabulation, it was discovered that as of June 1, 1945, rooms with a capacity of 3,235 not now occupied by students have been rented in Ann Arbor since 1941. Records of the University cover pres- ent housing facilities for 7,505 stu- dents including approximately 1,133 military personnel living in register- ed rooms. Possible 2,886 Capacity If the commercial rentals, such as hotels and rooms in substandard dis- tricts are eliminated from the OPA registration figures, the report point- ed out, the capacity of additional rooms which might be available for students is 2,886. This figure, it was explained, is an unattainable maxi- mum which is subject to downward revision. The recently announced postwar dormitory construction program will not be little pas't the blueprint stage at the beginning of the fall term this year. i To Give Broadcasts - ;;;(K;;;;> 4;> <;;;;;;;;;>0> (<;=;;0 :;;>0<;=;;> U<;;= O<;;;t>);;;;>{;;; : OPENING TONIGHT THE DEPARTMENT OF SPEECH PRESENTS THE MICHIGAN REPERTORY PLAYERSv . in . ................
