V Bizad Speaker Tells Problems Of Martin Plant Managerial problems of the Martin bomber plant were ex plained by Prof. Charles S. Miller of the business adminis tration college to members of Al pha Kappa Psi, recently. Members of the business and professional fraternity heard Miller tell about problems en countered in the early days of airplane manufacture. In 1941, for example, the problem was the fact that the parts of the planes were made by sev eral manufacturers. Miller said Chrysler made the nose plate, Hudson the tail, and Goodyear the wing of a plane that was assembled at the Martin plant in Fort Crook. "Silver Plate" Miller said one of the biggest jobs the plant was confronted with was the "Silver Plate Proj ect." That was the only name it was known by, Miller ex plained, and no one knew exactly what the 20 planes produced were to be used for. It wasn't until the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima that anvonc realized that the 20 phines of the "Silver Plate Proj ect" were to have such a de cisive hand in brineing the war to a close," said Miller. Professor Miller slso discussed the organization and develop ment of the C. A. Swansons and Sons company. Ten Coeds to Compete for I m mm n - .

Dane Tells Peace Views To NU Class "Pparp is more daneorous and significant to the United States than war, Arnold Sorenson, for mer Danish parliament member, declared in an international re lations class Monday. Sorcnsen traveled to over 40 U. S. universities and colleges speaking for the World Student Service Fund. He has traveled extensively in Asia, the United States, and Europe. Sorensen stated, "I don't be lieve those who want a war can have it today." The ex-parliament member said that if we have peace for a long time, ine people oi Greece, Spain and other coun tries, whose reactionary govern ments are supported by the United States, will grow to hate us. Opposing Communism The only method by which the U. S. can oppose communism with a view to future interna tional relations is to come to the aid of the underdeveloped coun tries before Russia does, the Danish citizen declared. The country which has done the most to develop and modernize these countries will be the nation wnn the balance of power in its favor, he rnntiniierl. The stocky blond speaker said that the citizens of the U. S. must realize that capitalism is not the only path leading to democracy. He said that the world is grouped into three classes of ideology progression. Three Ideologies U. S. and Switzerland found their present capitalist ideology in the 17th century when revolu tions forced a unity of thinking on the system. Rritnin and Northwestern Europe found their combination of capitalism and socialism in the 19th century. The two opposite ideologies were interwoven into the present successful system. Russia, India, China, Eastern Europe, Greece and Italy found their atheist Marxist ideology in the 20th century. The almost to tal absence of a middle class in these countries forced an open struggle between the extremely rich and the poor, Sorensen be lieves. The exam and scholarship problem will again be the topic of discussion when the Faculty Senate convenes Tuesday at a regular meeting. The entire meeting will be devoted to comments and sugges tions concerning the present sit uation and possible improve ments. The meeting will be held at the Love Library auditorium at 4 p. m.

Pleases Crowd By Frank Jacobs " A well-pleased audience saw ihn Npln-aska Masauers of the University Theatre give an ex citing and well-presented pro duction of Arthur Laurient's prize-winning drama, "Home of the Brave. Given in accordance with UNESCO International Theatre Month and current NUCWA ac tivities, the play, one of the most aoly written to come out of'the recent war, combined the best in direction and acting to present a completely satisfying evening. A story of the adjustment of voung men to army life, "Home of the Brave" is mainly a play of strong characterization. Ex tremely well-delineated, the six personalities of the battle-weary men provided the contrasts to balance each other perfectly. Director Shouldering the responsibility of both directing and enacting the lead role in the play, Abe Katz provided the audience with a memorable and stirring per formance as Peter Coen, the Jewish soldier. Suffering a mental breakdown following the death of his best friend Finch, well-played by Dick Freeh, he is slowly brought back to normalcy through the soothing psychiatric efforts of a base doctor, sympathetically See Theatre, Page 4 Sampson Worcester for May Queen listed above.
