BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 23. —(UP)—Good old Admiral Upton!
That was the sentiment of University of California co-eds today when they learned the admiral had told a congressional naval affairs committee that young naval officers would be better off doing post graduate work at California than at the University of California at Los Angeles.
While college men darkly hinted that the Berkeley coeds had nothing more in mind than dates with uniformed young men, co-ed leaders solemnly declared Admiral Upton was right in saying the Influence of movie actresses in Ixis Angeles would hamper the naval officers.

AIR BATTLE
The air battle over Soochow
yesterday wa* one of the most daring episodes of the Shanghai warfare.
The three Japanese planes were flying from Hongkew airfield, scouting far back over Chine*e territory In an effort to check the Chinese reinforcements and the defenses ln the Soochow area. They were circling over Soochow when Short, one of three Americans attached to the Chinese aviation squadron, climbed into his little Boeing pursuit plane and went aloft.
OPENS MACHINE GUN
The Chinese plane circled and swooped toward the Japanese, while Short opened his machine gun at an altitude of about 2,400 feet. Bullets ripped through the fuselage of pilot Kotanl's plane, but the three Japanese maneuvered quickly and returned the flre, sending a stream of machine gun bullets into Short’s craft.
The battle lasted for two and one half minutes and then Short's plane went out of control, falling in flames. The Japanese circled over the crashing plane and paid tribute to the American's bold attack by dipping their wings ln salute.
Short was about 24 years old. it was understood he was the son of a west roast businessman in the United States. He visited Tokio last summer in company with a Douglas aircraft representative.
