Derby Drivers
Ready To Roll
AKRON, O.-- (A) --Soap Box
Derby drivers-the boys who scoot
downhill in low-slung, gravity rac-
ers-were arriving yesterday for
Sunday's national championship
run at Derby Downs.
The 147 youngsters - each a
hometown champion - will com-
pete for a four-year college schol-
rship in Sunday's 13th annual
-All-American Soap Box Derby.
The lads poured in by plane,
train, bus, auto-yes, and even by
taxicab. A cab brought 14-year-old
Robert Reedy from his front door
In Terre Haute, Ind., a courtesy of
the cab company.
Another champion, Gerald E.
Taylor, 12 years old, came parka-
tlad from Juneau, Alaska, where
his dad serves in the Coast Guard.

'OMNIPRESENT SOLDIERY':
Yugoslav Trieste Filled
With Unreasoning Fear

Spotlight Review Aired on 'WMDS'

FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1950
TO FOSTER RESEARCH:

Announced by Sawyer

By GEORGE S. FLINT
Special to The Daily
CAPIDISTRIA, Trieste - Here
in the Yugoslavian-administered
"B" zone of the Free Territory of
Trieste it is possible to penetrate
one of the few cracks in the Iron
Curtain.
Lying about 15 miles below the
bustling port of Trieste, this for-
merly Italian held city is the nom-
inal capital of a cluster of com-
munes on the shore of the Adria-
tio.
THOUGH THE Italain popula-
tion here far outnumbers the Sla-
vic, Yugoslav supervision gives the
area a profoundly different tem-
per from the northern portion of
the Free Territory, under Anglo-
American supervision.

Capidistria is crowded with
shops whose windows are nearly
empty; a town whose people nev-
er smile and who fear talking
to strangers; a town where sold-
iers seem far to outnumber civil-
ians, and where the shabby Par-
tisan uniform is a badge of rela-
tive prosperity.
The streets, once crowded with
peasants and townspeople on Sat-
urday afternoons, are virtually de-
serted. Most of the activity comes
from the omnipresent soldiery.
SQUADS MARCH up and down
the narrow streets, most of them
young boys from the surrounding
area who have "volunteered" for
military duty.
Walking in the beautiful old
village square, now called Piazza
della Marshal Tito, we saw peo-
ple staring disbelief at our lit-
tle group of American students
and teachers.
Life here is filled with unreason-
ing fear. We asked to buy post-
cards in a grubby little shop of the
square. The proprietor refused
Italian lire even though they aree
the legal currency for the Terri-
tory.
So it is with all the townspeople
-Communism for them means
force, deprivation and a life with-
out laughter.

Great Lakes
Will Review
Deferme1nts
GREAT LAKES, Ill -(2)-A dis-
trict review board has been set up
at 'Great Lakes with power to
grant up to six months' deferment
to certain enlisted Navy Reservists.
Rear Admiral J. Cary Jones,
USN, Commandant of the Ninth
Naval District, announced forma-
tion of the board yesterday. It will
review requests for deferment of
Midwestern Naval Reserve offi-
cers and enlisted men, other than
members of the Naval Air Reserve,
who are recalled to active duty.
* * *
THE BOARD will be empowered
to grant up to six months' stay to
enlisted Reservists employed in
certain key industries, to college
students, and where community
health or safety would be jeopar-
dized by immediate recall.
Adm. Jones said no requests
for deferment should be sent in
before active duty orders are re-
ceived. He said the requests must
be initiated within 48 hours af-
ter receipt of orders, and should
be addressed to the Comman-
dant, Ninth Naval District, Great
Lakes, Ill.
Reservists employed in key in-
dustries should accompany their
deferment requests with a state-
ment by their employer accurately
lescribing the empioye's duties and
indicating why he is essential.
College students who require a
short time to complete a period of
higher education may be deferred
for a time, but there will be no
continuing deferment until gradu-
ation for all college students.

.Operation 4006' Brings
Chaos in Radio Studios

.4'__

"Operation "4006," a production
in radio mayhem, turned the
fourth floor of Angell Hall into
organized bedlam yesterday.
Designed to instruct students in
the day-to-day operation of a
radio station, the operation, nam-
ed after the studio number, cram-
med eight hours of regular broad-
casting into two periods about half
that long.
*' * *
SCRIPTS WERE from network
shows, commercials were student-
written, and all was designed to
give the feeling of continuous
broadcasting.
tWMDS was the Operation's sta-
tion call-letters, standing for Mi-
chigan Department of Speech.
Somee50 students enrolled in
the speech department ran hur-
National Guard

al Guard units-company K, 125th
Infantry Regiment from Ann Ar-
bor and Ypsilanti's 46th Signal
Company leave today for a two-

of the greatest concentration of
troops in Michigan history today
and tomorrow as more than 8,000
members of the National Guard
gather from all over the state for
their summer encampment.

bor aboard a special troop train

riedly from studio to studio. In
one place they were acting on
"Portia Faces Life," then they
would be called to rehearse "Lit-
tle Orphan Annie.
After about an hour of this,
physical constitutions being what
they are, exhausted students would
crawl into the audience studio to
watch or join in on a show.
SEVERAL TYPES of broadcasts
were going on at about five min-
ute intervals. Soap operas tied in-
to news broadcasts, and were fol-
lowed by audience participation
shows.
One of these featured an In-
diana man with his small pork-
er, Milton, and a bumptious
songstress. who moaned through
a popular song for the benefit
of foot-weary "4006'ers."
Throughout all this chaos, the
figure of Prof. Garnet Garrison,
who was in charge could be seen
offering encouragement, question-
ing and generally checking up to
make sure that things went along
on schedule.
"After all this, the students
should have learned something,"
he reported.
