DECEMBER 12. 1941 Five CentsSchmitt Calls For SeverePenalties On Nazis, Japs;Warns Against Long WarCalling for severe penalties from the “two mostmilitaristic warlike nations in the last 75 years,” Ber-nadotte Schmitt, Archibald MacLeish DistinguishedService Professor of Modern History, warned againsta long war.“We must be prepared for a long, dreary pull,”said Professor Schmitt. “If Japan takes the DutchEast Indies with their oil supply or Singapore, dis¬rupting British communication with India, God knowswhat will happen.”The eminent historian has been expecting for manyyears that Germany would again begin a world warand that the United States would have to fight Japan.Shouldn’t Have Been Shocked“I was shocked by the manner in which the warwith Japan began, but I shouldn’t have been,” he con¬tinued. “They have had a long history of aggression,the invasion of China in 1894, Port Arthur in 1904,Manchuria in 1929, and China again in 1936 were allexamples of Japanese aggression.”Professor Schmitt linked Germany with Japan a.sa nation inherently militaristic. Unlike Italy, whichhe thinks is fighting reluctantly having been misled byMussolini, Germans believe sincerely in this war. Asan example of the warlike nature of the German peo¬ple, he referred to the Franco-Prusian War which “theGerman people loved.” Believe In Holy MissionsThe Japanese and the Germans believe that theyhave holy missions—Japan to rule Asia and Germanyto rule Europe, Schmitt declared. Italians have nosuch -militaristic history as do the nationals of theother two Axis countries.He outlined a three-point plan which he advocated.Foremost was to beat Germany and Japan and “beatthem so they know they’ve been beaten.” After thatis accomplished, we should destroy all facilities formanufacturing weapons of war in both nations so weneed no longer fear them. Finally, we must isolatethem economically.Entirely Self-Sufficient“We should make them entirely self-sufficient untilwe had some sort of a guarantee that they would notdisturb world peace again. This would reduce them toagricultural nations. If the overcrowding would forcethe elimination of a few of them, I, for one, would notbe unhappy about it,” Schmitt asserted.We should not interfere with the internal affairsof either nation, however, he said. There has beenmuch talk about breaking Germany up into small, in¬dividual states, but he did not think that this was wiseas the states would only scheme to band togetheragain. We should allow them to have their own type ofgovernment, Schmitt concluded, as he recalled thefailure of the Allies-imposed Weimar Republic, “whichwas doomed from the start.”Int. HouseStatesWar Stand“International House is an Ameri¬can institution; founded by Americanmoney; an integral part of a greatAmerican university; loyal to thelaws of the United States and of thecommunity in which it is situated”*says the statement made jointly byEiiiest B. Price, director of Interna¬tional House and the Student Councilto clarify the House’s position in thepresent war.Since the House believes in andpractices the democratic way of lifethrough its government and adminis¬tration, its members realize that onlyin a democratic country could it exist.As a result they are interested in see¬ing the democratic way of life main¬tained, the statement continues.“Many former members are wear¬ing the uniform of the United States;others are serving the cause of democ¬racy elsewhere. We believe that thoseformer members who find themselveswearing the uniform of the enemiesof the United States, do so withheavy hearts.”Because International House be¬lieves in the brotherhood of man asan attainable ideal, the six hundredactive members are currently dem¬onstrating that harmonious interna¬tional living is possible. “Within theframework of the laws of the UnitedStates and the spirit of the democraticideal, we propose to continue thisdemonstration”, the statement con¬cludes.Senior men and women whoexpect to graduate in June orAugust this year, and who areinterested in securing busi¬ness positions after gradua¬tion. should register at theVocational Guidance andPlacement office now.Business organizations be¬gin their interviewing of thisgroup early in January, andthe placement office mustcomplete its flies of creden¬tials before then. Seniors areurged, in their own interest,to register at once.The office of the Board ofVocational Guidance andPlacement is in Cobb HaN,Room 215. Interviewing hoursare between 9:30 and 12 inthe morning and between 2and 3 in the afternoon. Menshould register with Mr. Cal¬vin and women with MissLarsh.Re-affirmPatriotismMembers of the German depart¬ment to a man, deemed it “absolutelynecessary to cooperate with the Presi¬dent in every way to defeat theNazis”, in a roundup of opinion yes¬terday afternoon.Comment on specific matters wasunavailable. Generalized statementsall ran long the same theme. As onemember said, “Hitler has always beenHitler, this attack was expected andinevitable. Now everything must bedone to cooperate with the govern-nient which seems to have had moreforesight than the people.The great mistake of the last warwas to drop German languages fromschool curricula. I hope the issues ofeducation and politics won’t be mixedand the mistake repeated this time.”Another member stated that he“agreed with the statement of thePresident Tuesday, more heartily thananything that had been said so far.”When questioned about German atti¬tudes in the United States he said,“90 percent of the Germans over hereare, contrary to the feelings in thelast war, not sympathetic to Ger¬many.”Professors of German origin on thestaff, felt their position too unstableto offer much comment.A wassail party will usher in theChristmas season at InternationalHouse Sunday from 6 to 7. TheAlumni Association and the Housemembers will be joint hosts at theparty. Congdon LooksAt MisguidedPublic FiguresIn a vigorous attack on what hecalled, “our flyer friend, and a colonelin Chicago” and others of their ilk.Dr. Charles B. Congdon, StudentHealth psychiatrist, yesterday lashedinto various public figures who takeadvantage of their position to passon “distorted facts” to a gulliblepublic.Dr. Congdon, who recently has beenlecturing on morale and the psychi¬atric aspects of the war, said, “Thepublic must learn to distinguish factfrom fiction. If people can learn tovery critical of what they hearand read, it will be of inestimablevalue to them and the world.”Shows Power of PressCongdon went on to show how thepower of the press and radio can be¬come a force of evil if placed in thewrong hands. To substantiate hisargument, he pointed out that “lastweek probably 30,000,000 people inthis country thought we could neverbe attacked. ‘Authorized, sources’,which the President attacked in hisspeech Tuesday night, our flyer friend,a colonel in Chicago and all the otherswho have preyed on the credulity ofthe people are greatly responsible forthus deluding the public.”At the same time, Congdon vigor¬ously attacked these factions as be¬ing hypocritical in that since war wasdeclared, they have been enthusi¬astically “waving the flag.” “Theyseem to think that that’s some sortof expiation for their previous sins,”he explained, “but they have done,and are doing, a grave injustice to theAmerican people.”Little Chance of MisleadingHowever, Congdon was optimisticconcerning the impossibility of mis¬leading the youth of today. “Studentswill accept the situation (war) aboutthe same way students did in ’17,”he said, “but it will not be as easy tohood-wink them as before. But don’tforget,” he warned, “that there arestill a lot of people who will try.”“I have a lot of confidence in thepresent college-age groups,” he con¬cluded, “You’re not ‘nuts’, as manyclaim, and I feel strongly that you’llhandle yourselves and the generalsituation better than we did in ourgeneration.” Enlistment OrDraft FacingChicago MenRocking back and forth on theirheels like the fighter who said “JoeLouis, you can’t hit me!’’ the maleelements hereabouts have finally begunto realize that they are up againstsomething that can’t be fixed by afriend. It’s a matter now of enlistingor being drafted.For the most part, as Dink Mac-Lellan puts it, “we know what theJaps have done but we can’t believeit—it’s like being told in the thirdgrade that the world was round—nowwe are just beginning to get steamedup about the whole affair.’’Ben McKinnon, seniar transferfrom Princeton, received his ques¬tionnaire yesterday and forthwithcontacted Navy V7 on the possibilitiesof becoming an engineer. Accepted,he has his work cut out for the dura¬tion.Land Office BusinessJay Fox, in what would ordinaidiybe a pessimistic mood but now justmatter of fact, mused on the prob¬abilities of this generation becomingsoldiers and constabulary for thenext 15 or 20 years instead of lawyers,doctors, or business men.Boys returning from visits to thepost office claim that the Marine,Navy and Army branches are doing aland office business with enlistments.“You have to fight your way in tosee anybody who has a rating abovecorporal,’’ relates Paul Fiorian whoseinterest lies with the Marines. Heclaims that letters of introduction torecruiting officers in the Chicagoarea are useless. It’s just like liningup at the ticket window the night be¬fore the World' Series opener.Navy Gets Its ShareWith Dale Tillery ai'ranging pa¬pers and affairs to enter the NavalAir Force as soon as possible.

Fifty MoreIn MilitaryCourseFifty more men enrolled in thebasic military training course yester¬day including a group from Pi Lamb¬da Phi, the latest fraternity to comeinto the course as a group. Registra¬tion was held simultaneously with en¬rollment for the Red Cross course inFirst Aid for University women.Meanwhile the Student DefenseCouncil is meeting today at 12:30 inIda Noyes with representatives fromall Student Organizations to furtherplans for civilian defense on campus.Contact was made yesterday withthe Northwestern Student DefenseCommission who explain their plansfor selling defense stamps, and en¬tertaining service men on their cam¬pus. These ideas will be among thosediscussed at the meeting today.It’s a little hard to determine ex¬actly how many men from campusare rushing to their nearest recruit¬ing station and saying “if Uncle SamNeeds Me, Here I am.” However onething is certain. If you have made upyour mind to enlist wait a few weeksuntil the rush dies down.College men have special qualifica¬tions. They have a college trainingwhich few men in this country have.This training should mean in somecases that there will be niches in thearmy where they are needed but whenonly a few minutes for interviewing isalloted to each man in the line of re¬cruits, the Army, Navy, or Marinesisn’t going to have much time to in¬vestigate the little quirks of individ¬ual minds nor the little niches of thearmy.Consequently in this sudden flood TrendAppearsTodayTrend, the quadrangles’ new liter¬ary magazine, makes its initial ap¬pearance today.The new magazine is a step in theright direction. Unfortunately, thatstep is not quite up to advance pre¬dictions. Somewhere between the drabcovers of the English department’sbaby is William Saroyan in a more-than-usual puckish mood, WilliamCarlos Williams holding education upto a strong light, and assorted at¬tempts of the student body.Upon reading the editorial care¬fully worded; “We wish to publicizethe writers who are trying to do newand vigorous things in verse andprose. We also have an idea thatsome interesting things are happeningin literature and art and musicaround Chicago,” one would get theidea of “Move over John Gunther,Sterling North and John Farrell.”Upon reading the magazine the ideachanges into an attitude of “Please(Continued on page four)Hutchinson Commons willpreserve a tradition of manyyears’ standing next weekwhen it holds its annualChristmas Parties Wednesdayand Thursday evening^.Diners will get a chance toeat a turkey dinner in thebeautiful Commons hall,which will be lit only by can¬dles, and listen at the sametime to Christmas carols sungby a group from the Univer¬sity (^hoir, directed by MackEvans.Directors of the diningroom have planned a turkeydinner for 60 cents, and alltraditional holiday trimmingswill be included with the en¬tree.A large Christmas tree willadd to the effect of an old-fashioned Christmas, a h'flTfires roaring in the huge fire¬places on each side of thegiant dining room will lend aholiday air.The choir members, whowill eat dinner in a group ata center table, will begin theircaroling about six each eve¬ning.Register 50For Red CrossOver fifty women have registeredfor the Red Cross course in the lasttwo days. The course, which is spon¬sored by the Institute of MilitaryStudies, will be given every Wednes¬day night at Ida Noyes over a periodof eight weeks, starting January 14.Any woman interested can registerwith Miss G. L. Zenkere in HarperE. 54, or with Ann Schroeder at Fos¬ter Hall.men are just enlisted and then shovedaround like a draftee. The army mustdo that to function swiftly. The smartthing for college men to do, if theyare determined to enlist, is to waitfor two or three weeks and then tryto find a recruiting officer who willtake some time with* them and per¬haps get them some kind of a special¬ized job.Cart Before the HorsewThis might well be cart before thehorse reasoning, but the question nowcomes up of the advisability of en¬listing while you’re still in college.Obviously if the draft is ready tocatch up to you in a month or two,enlisting now is a wise move. Thereis little chance that deferments willbe given to complete an education andas far as I can discover most men(ContiniMd on page four)No Cover, No Minimum250 WordsOn EnlistingBy DICK HIMMELPage Two THE DAILY MAROON.

So I quick light a match,and look up and down each list for whatI'm gonna' get. From Mom—a gold pen¬cil; from Dad—a gold pencil; from theoldest brother—a gold pencil. Briefly,thirteen gold pencils.Now gold pencils ere fine . . . up foa certain point. You can get them withlights in the end, or even with toothpicks,but what does a guy do with thirteen?So I quick roll out from under fhedavenport and rush to my desk drawer,where I got a catalogue of Christmasclothes from fhe Hub. Then I slither backunder end start crossin' out the goldpencils listed under Elmer. On Mom'slist I write "Striped Robe"—that's the16.50 one at the Hub, fully lined, crowntested rayon; on my sister's list "RayonPajamas," wine, royal, tan, or light green;and the other eleven lists, initialed hand¬kerchiefs, "Banker Gloves," a key chain, atie clip, and some of the other swellstuff from the Hub's catalogue.Then I jump back on my feet as Ihear footsteps out in the hall. I run tomy room and sit down at my desk likeI've been studying there all day. ThenI pick up my own list of gifts, and with asigh of satisfaction, start blacking out"gold pencil" which I'd written under"Dad," "Tom," and "Mother" before Igof that Hub catalogue. Faculty Member Discusses MainIssues In War Against FascismFollowing is a statement on thewar issued by Gerhard E. O. Meyer,instructor of economics in the Col¬lege, who until 19S3 was associatedwith the University of Frankfort-on-the-Main. After Hitler’s rise to power,Meyer left for France, later went toEngland. In 1937 he came to Americaand the University of Chicago.“It has always been my hope thatthe United States would finally joinGreat Britain in actively resisting theFascist World Counter-revolution.Actually, given the nature of athreat, this country was already fora long time involved in the war.Though we have to expect difficulttimes, even set-backs, for the nextyear or so, there is every hope thatthe Allied countries will be able, aft¬er some years of fight, to weaken theaxis so decisively that tfie conqueredEuropean countries, Germany includ¬ ed, will be able to get rid of theirdictatorships.Win the PeaceBut then the problem will be alsoto “win the peace.” Obviously, thefirst immediate task is to win thewar and every sacrifice that is neces¬sary to victory, is justified.

Dauber “Sadly Disappointed”By Lawson’s Views On FoulingMr. Robert LawsonThe Daily MaroonDear Bob,I was quite sadly disappointed byyour article in the Daily Maroon yes¬terday in which you urge the basket¬ball team to use unsportsmanliketactics. Of course I agree with youthat basketball in the Big Ten, oranywhere else for that matter, is nota game for sissies. I realize thatrough, aggressive play and cleverlyconcealed fouling are part of thegame. I have no illusions about theideals and principles of athletes. ButI do believe that the open encourage¬ment of dirty playing is not onlywrong but also detrimental to ath¬letics and to the University.“W’hat Chicago lacks in ability itshould make up in fouling.” In thosewords. Bob, you contradicted everyvalue attributed to intercollegiatesports. As I understand the matter, in¬tercollegiate athletics are of value notonly because they give healthful rec¬reation to participants and emotionaloutlet to spectators, but also becausethey mold character. A man who par¬ticipates in organized sport learnsgroup loyalty and self reliance; helearns to fight against odds, to makeuse of all his resources and courageto overcome ever-changing situations.Under your proposal athletes wouldbe led to believe that might makesright. Athletic contests would not betests of skill and thinking but battles where bigger men would use theirsize and strength to beat down small¬er opponents who possessed moreskill, speed, or brains. Instead oftraining grounds for citizens of ademocratic society, athletic fieldswould become drilling stations forstorm troopers.Certainly no one can accuse me ofbeing opposed to athletics. I’m anardent supporter of all the Univer¬sity’s teams, and I am very eager to see them play every game up to thehilt. I want the Maroon teams to beaggressive. However, there are cer¬tain ideals and ethics in sport whichI believe ought to be preserved. Ifwe compromise these ideals to win,then athletics must lose their value,and under those conditions I wouldrecommend the abolition of intercol¬legiate sports at Chicago.Sincerely,Milton Dauber.PLEDGING NOTICESDelta Sigma announces the pledg¬ing of Dorothy Meier of Cleveland.Triota announces the pledging ofLorraine Simmons of Chicago.Organization Athletic ChampionshipPoint Standing, Autumn 1941without earned points in Billiardsand Table TennisOrganization Points1.

Prom¬inent among these was University ofIllinois’ mini, which since the out¬break of the European war has takena vigorous stand for isolation. Firstissue after the Japanese attack de¬clared “we must put everything wehave into winning this war.’’But student opinion seemed to havedenied its paper’s pre-war policy whenexcited Illinois students paraded nois¬ily over the campus Sunday night,shouting “Remember Pearl Harbor!’’Miami'PollAmong the papers which haveurged intervention for some time areThe University of Miami’s Daily Stu¬dent wh^ch recently took a war poll ofits students. Results indicated that on¬ly 20 percent of those polled thoughtthere was any chance of evading warwith Japan. 24 percent said theywould volunteer if war broke out.The University of Wisconsin’s warissue urges students to remain calm,not repeat the hysteria whi6h spreadover that campus in 1917. PresidentDykstra called the campus to a “warconvocation’’ Wednesday and spOketo them, urging sanity in the faceof emergency.“Fight Emotionalism’’The Harvard Crimson, which hasbeen supporting the President’s warpolicy, came out to say that studentscan l^st serve their country at pres¬ent by “preserving a spirit of intel¬lectual freedom and fighting againstemotionalism’’. It reports that Harv¬ard is serving at present as a train¬ing school for the navy. PresidentConant spoke to the University im¬mediately after President Roosevelt’sspeech, urging students to remaincalm.Princeton’s campus reverberatedwith cries of “Let’s go to war!’’ from“parading students on Sunday nightand “victory’’ bonfires were lighted.The Daily Princetonian policy hasbeen pro-war.Quells MaladjustmentJust before the war broke outCornell University had started a unitto quell maladjustment for studentsupset by world conditions. A coun¬sellor haa been appointed to whomstudents (»n bring their problems. Hewill also advise them on employment,social adjustment, and financial mat¬ters.The School of Journalism at OhioState, whiflh publishes the Lanternreports that in their last poll the stu¬dents were definite that defeat of Hit¬ler was more important than peace.This was before the war. The paper’spolicy has been similar to the Ma¬roon’s.Across the country all student pa¬pers are supporting the national de¬fense program and are popularizingRed Cros^ and civilian training attheir schools.Choose SSAOfficers ForRest Of YearOfficers of the Social Service Ad¬ministration Club are being chosenthis week for the winter and springquarters.

Meyer Says MustWin War, ThenWin Peace(Continued from page two)totalitarian dictatorship and demo¬cratic emergency “dictatorship’’; the“morale’’ and unity of free men verywell may be not only intrinsicallybetter than cohesion based on un¬democratic nationalism, fear andcompulsion, but also more effectivefor the winning of victory. (That itis the only condition for winning thepeace in the long run, seems obvious).“The English have gone a longway towards proving the value ofdemocracy, democratic self-discipline,and democratic leadership just in thehours of greatest dangers. I am con¬fident that this country will be able’to perform the same “miracle”. How¬ever, this requires the ever betterrealization of certain pre-conditions:certain institutional reforms are nec¬essary which will gfuarantee not onlythe effectiveness of the war effort,but also justice in the distribution ofits burdens.Need New Attitudes“In addition, there is need just nowfor developing our rational facultiesas much as possible: without that,preservation of democracy and dem¬ocratic internal and internationalpost-war reconstruction will .be ahopeless task. Finally, this crisis con¬stitutes also a challenge for us to re¬consider and to reform the moralbasis of our personal and collectiveways of life. Again, this is both a“short run” requirement for demo¬cratic victory and a long-run postulaefor a better world order.The Fascist Counter-revolution,leading to a World War, a world civilwar and a world religious war, wouldhave been impossible without deep- rooted institutional and ultimatelymoral weaknesses of Western demo¬cratic culture and of Christianity.War is always a matter of tragicguilt, not only with respect to theactual war effort,' but also with re¬spect to the deeper causes makingwar possible and inevitable. This ourwar is a just war; its justness will bethe greater and the more significantand encouraging for all of us themore we are prepared to acknowledgein our hearts and especially in ourdeeds, our own guilts and imper¬fections as liberals, as democrats, as CanH See Harper AsBombShelterforBooksApproached on the subject of thepossibility of converting Harper’sbasement into *a bomb shelter forbooks and students, McKendree L.Raney, Director of University Li¬braries, expressed the opinion yester¬day that there was little need forimmediate action. However, the Di¬rector did disclose that the subjectwould be discussed at the next meet¬ing of the Board of Libraries, aroundthe beginning of January.Christians. This grain of humility isnot a seed of weakness, but an ele¬ment of faith and spiritual freedom,and thereby a source of deeper cour¬age.%Puts Holmes' ChapelAddress In PamphletTrend—(Continued from page one)don’t bother.”Now David Daiches is a professorat the university. He writes books,essays, and short stories. For Trendhe has written a wholesome, enter¬taining brief called “Dr. Rabbitt”. Itis, basically, the story of a young doc¬tor in the Scottish highlands done inwhat would seem to be Daiches’ bestold slacks and sweater style. If it is,it is excellent; if it is not, the joltingparenthetical remarks do not consti¬tute a good style. But it is a softsweater to people tired of dinnerclothes.Carlos Williams’ “Invisible Univer¬sity” is the first article in the maga¬zine and sets a pace that is not livedup to by the remainder of the thirtyodd pages. Writing under a title of“The Poet, the Teacher and the Stu¬dent; A Symposium” he speaks dis¬paragingly of formal education andadmires, in the fashion of a small boy,the attitude that lets a student bethrown out of college. He usesShakespeare and Bacon as examplesof unskilled genius.A large portion of the issue is de¬voted, rather religiously, to book re¬views. There is a too-long andrambling one about Thomas Wolfe, heof the posthumous writing, with sev¬eral passing shots at “The Hills Be¬yond” which was the subject at hand.Ulysses Lee puts a lot of time andspace praising Richard Wright’s so¬cial gestures in “12,000,000 BlackVoices”. To sandwich these words be¬tween Wolfe and Whitman, the nextreview, is a bit of a slap to lovers ofthe two.Marian Castleman and GlamourGirl Fay Horton are the authors offiction. The former projects herselfinto the mind of a young girl whileMiss Horton has an even more unhap¬py .time projecting herself into themind of a young boy.Part of the barren makeup is recti¬fied by the fine drawings of FredGiesbert, Ken Prince, and Fred Ras¬mussen, but these are in no part com¬pensation for what should be a liter¬ary magazine. Trend’s Ballyhooedfirst step is still in progress. John Haynes Holmes’ memorablesermon in Rockefeller MemorialChapel given this quarter “Are WeIn the Hands of Fate?” is now avail¬able in printed form at the Chapeloffice for 10 cents.Holmes’ thesis that we have allowedourselves to fall almost apatheticallyinto a dead-end fatalism is counter¬balanced by two notes of hope. Withconcern for this “optimistic or pessi¬mistic type of fatalism,” which “robsman of his dignity as a human being,”Holmes strikes out hopefully.No Reform or Revolution“Not government or society, oreconomics or politics, or any reformor revolution!” he says will “deliverthe human race from its woe, but justthose two agencies of man’s life whichhave been from the beginning thepower of his own salvation.”Religion, proclaims the New York minister, is fundamental to freedom,“for in this vast realm of the spiritwhich is man’s home, there is no es¬caping this august responsibility —man is his own destiny.”Two InfluencesIf the first of the two influenceswhich will banish the superstition offatalism is religion. Holmes says ed¬ucation is second. “And as our pres¬ent crisis demands of religion greatpreaching, so it demands of educationgreat teaching.” Religion and educa¬tion—Holmes asks no more than areinterpretation of how each of thesecan be most effective.“What the world needs this desper¬ate day is not armaments, and war,and fighting, and killing—for theseare themselves the direst fate thatcan befall the lot of man,” he con¬cludes. “What the world needs isfaith!—the faith of man in himself,in his world, and in his God." Although he stated “Harper affordsabout the best protection there is oncampus,” Raney implied that evenHarper’s protection would prove fairlyscant. First of all. Harper’s basementis sqjjiewhat exposed since the topprotrudes several feet above groundwhile “shelters that have been usedin subways are all fifty or sixty feetbelow the surface.’,’In addition, he was somewhat dubi¬ous as to the effectiveness of the up¬per floors protecting the basement.In this connection, he cited the caseof a printing establishment in Londonduring World War I where a bombcarried all the upper floors plus tonsof printing presses into the “safe”shelter below.A similar accident occurred duringthe construction of Harper when thetop floor of the West Tower crashedthrough the floors below. When re¬built, re-enforced concrete was usedand so concluded Dr. Raney, “theWest Tower is the strongest andsafest structure on campus.”If, at some future date, books haveto be moved to a place of greatersafety, some small country townwhere there was no temptation forbombing would most likely be se¬lected.I,-V//250 Words—(Continued from page one)won’t want deferments to finish theireducation.
