Air-Minded Admiral Becomes New Chief of Navy Operations
WASHINGTON, Mar. 9 — (U.P.)—In the second drastic shakeup in the high commands of the United States armed forces within a week, Secretary of the Navy Knox announced tonight that air-minded Adm. Ernest J. King, commander-in-chief of the fleet, also has taken over the
duties of chief of naval operations.
The navy announcement coincided with the date on which army command changes, announced last weefc, became effective, placing more emphasis on air power by streamlining the army into three commands —land, air, arid supply.
SHAKEUPS come
The shakeups came amid indications that the united nations are i laying the groundwork for an offensive against the axis powers.
Adm. Harold R. Stark, who had been chief of naval operations for more than two and a half years, was reassigned to command of U.S. naval forces in European waters under the shakeup which saw Admiral King combine -the naval operations duties with his post as commander-in-chief. King is 63 years old and Stark is 61.
POWER VESTED IN KING
The navy move, announced in a special communique by Secretary of I the Navy Frank Knox, vests in King more power than hitherto held by any one man in the U.S. navy. As commander-in-chief as well as chief of operations, he not only will plan long-range naval operations but will be entrusted with the task of carrying them out.
King himself said last week that the navy was carrying out operations looking toward an eventual offensive.
Mortar Board to Sell Stamps
Under sponsorship of Mortar Board, honorary SC women’s service society, a special sale of defense stamps will be conducted tomorrow on campus.
The first of the campus organizations to back such a project, Mortar Board has selected several junior women to assist sales. Eleanor Britton, Barbara Symmes, Elizabeth Somers, Mary Kay Krys-to, and Charlotte Quinn will be in charge of tables.	#
Sale sites have been placed in several accessible places on campus. Trojans may make purchases in Old College, Administration, Bridge hall, and the Student Union. In addition to these buildings, a representative also will sell in Harris hall.
Mary Gower, Mortar Board president, asks that coke and candy money be pocketed today and tomorrow and paid out at the defense stamp windows tomorrow instead. “Student cooperation is urged in putting over the success of the movement,” Miss Gower added.
For the added convenience of skaters, a special table will be set up outside the Administration building. This is to save time and trouble for those indulging in the popular pastime which has swept the campus.

Defense Courses Prepare Upper Classmen for Active Duty in Combat Services
Declaring that physical education objectives have gone into reverse and that instead of peacetime recreational sports we must shift to intensive physical skills for defense purposes, Prof. William R. LaPorte yesterday urged all upper division men to take advantage of SC’s newly inaugurated war-time physical education program.
The director of the university’s physical education department advised all seniors and juniors not required to attend, to enroll in one of the special defense training classes from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.
It is the aim of these classes to condition university men for the rigors of life in the armed services into which they may soon be called.
AGILITY STRESSED
Stressed in the training program are such things as the ability to overcome an opponent in personal combat; ability to manipulate or handle heavy equipment, weapons, and implements; ability to jump, vault, and climb; and an attempt to build a high degree of morale and courage.
The physical education department is especially anxious to eliminate the remedial defects as disclosed in medical examinations of enlistees and draftees.
SKILLS TAUGHT
, In addition, the students are being taught skill in first aid and emergency procedures; skill in life saving; and also a thorough understanding of the principles and practices of personal and community health.
Sports and skills which are being offered students as part of this course include boxing, wrestling, fencing, jiu jitsu, tumbling, wall scaling, heavy apparatus, running, conditioning and endurance exercises, and team sports such as basketball, handball, football, track, and swimming.
War Outlined by Hindman
“The mobilizations of men, money, material, and minds are basic elements in the successful conduct of modern war/*
The elaboration of the above statement is the basis of tomorrow’s Wednesday lecture to be given by Wilbert Hindman, associate professor of political science. In his topic, “The Strategy of Propaganda,” he will continue the general war theme of this weekly series,
which is held in the art and lecture room of Doheny library at 4:30 p.m.
The strategy of propaganda, through the mobilization of minds first, is of paramount importance, Dr. Hindman believes.
He will give a brief consideration of the basic tactics of propaganda in outlining his background material. In this respect he will attempt to give a satisfactory definition of the world propaganda in order to eliminate confusion on the subject. There are very few words that people have as many different ideas in regard to, he states.
Propaganda is a technique for the manipulating of opinion, both good and bad, Dr. Hindman points out.
He will list the problems of the united nations versus the axis nations in achieving and maintaining unity and morale under the stress of the present times.
Athletic Managers Meet; Spartans to Be Measured
A meeting of all athletic managers has been called for 10 a.m. today in the office of Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics. A full attendance is requested.
Hunter also announced that members of the Spartan football team will be measured for sweaters today in 203 Student Union.

Students List Program Plans in Campus Poll
Student questionnaires regarding the proposed acceleration of the university program will be issued by instructors tomorrow and Thursday in order to facilitate plans for a three-term academic year.
* Each student will make out only one report to avoid confusion. Information gathered by the questionnaires will indicate whether the student will attend the summer session, or is doubtful, or will definitely not attend. The purpose of the acceleration is to afford students an opportunity to complete their education within a shorter time than usual.
Students who fill out one of the questionnaires and indicate their intention to follow the speedup will take 18 units in their fall and spring semesters, and 12 units during the summer session, which begins June 21 and ends Sept. 11. All semesters will be of the regular length except that holidays will be limited to July 4, Thanksgiving day, Good Friday, Christmas, and New Years day.
Bulletins for the summer session are now available at the information office. TJie term will offer 12-week courses in lower division subjects, limited courses in required upper division work, required subjects in professional curricula, and certain graduate courses.
The usual six-week summer session courses will be offered for both regular and accelerated program students. The adoption of the new schedule by a student is entirely optional and entrance into the program may be made beginning at any of three terms.
Defense Council Praises Efficient Program at SC
Among southland university defense organizations, that of SC appears more functional and much more definite.
That was the opinion brought back from a conference of university representatives at Occidental college by Phil Levine, president of the Interfraternity council, appointed as SC delegate to the meeting by ASSC President Syd Barton.
The delegates, representing Occidental, Whittier, Pomona, Cal Tech, and SC, met with Judge
wider degree of international cooperation will constitute the theme of a discussion by Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, when he speaks on “World Conflict or World Cooperation” at a meeting of the Philosophy forum at 4:15 today in Bowne hall.
Attention will be given to the peace plans of outstanding individuals, official treaties and pacts, and other kinds of official cooperation, Dr. Harley said yesterday. He will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of isolationism, balance of power, and collective security. Efforts to substitute courts and conferences for force in the settlement of international controversies will be traced.
PROPOSAL EXPLAINED
The relation between arbitration, disarmament, and security will be given attention. The Streit proposal for union now, regionalism, and world-wide approach to world cooperation for peace will be discussed.
There will be an evaluation of existing organizations such as the Pan-American union, the League of Nations, the World Court, and the International Labor organization. Finally, the role of united nations will be analyzed.
THIRD IN SERIES
Dr. Harley’s address will constitute the third in a series of sii speeches held under the auspices of the School of Philosophy and directed by Dr. Paul R. Helsel, professor of philosophy. Ensuing addresses will be made by Rockwell Dennis Hunt, dean of the Graduate School and director of the School of Research; Ralph Tyler Flewelling, director of the School of Philosophy; and President Rufus B. von KieinSmid.
The Philosophy forum is the oldest forum on campus, having been established 12 years ago. This meeting constitutes the 24th in the semiannual series.
flush against the eastern gateway shore of Australia.
Whether they would attempt invasion of the two great sub-continents still was a question but the best guess was they would try for at least limited footholds in both regions—positions in India which would enable them to make contact with the Germans, in event Adolf Hitler starts his great eastward thrust this spring, and positions in Australia which would prevent that land from being built up as a base for an offensive against Nippon’s giant and sprawling empire. MACARTHUR REPORTS
Meantime, Gen. Douglas MacArthur reported from the Philippines that he understood Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, crack Nipponese jungle strategist, had assumed command of Japanese forces in the Philippines, presumably preliminary to a new all-out effort to

Masaharu Homma, who reportedly committeed suicide because of his failure to end quickly American resistance. PLANS SHAPED With Java admittedly lost and Burma crippled, interest centered on India and Australia where, it seemed certain, American equipment and some American troops would see action.
As plans were shaping up it was certain the United States would assume the bulk of the burden in efforts to hold Australia while Britain would take the same role in India.

To insure that everyone began on an equal footing, the vehicle department carefully went over all the fundamental principles of driving for the would-be ambulance drivers and gave the class helpful hirts on what to do in case of emergencies.
An SC woman who completes the course will be able to tell anyone how to get his car out of the sand, how to disable a car by removing the distributor head, or what to do in case the car is sliding down a hill backwards with a two-ton truck in back and a four-ton truck bearing down on the wrong side of
