They said present plans call for enough gasoline to cover essential driving but not enough for extensive “pleasure” driving or other non-essential purposes. AFFECTS 17 STATES The rationing will apply to 10,-000,000 motorists in 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia. It may be extended ljiter to cover the nation although this will be determined by war production chief Donald M. Nelson and OPA administrator Leon Henderson. Henderson told a conference of state officials today that nationwide rationing was “still in the pic-: ture” but that the war board “has not yet made up its mind.” THREE CARDS USED The OPA will issue three types of ration cards, “A” for non-essential motorists; “B” for essential users such as defense workers, doctors, public service officials, etc., and ‘'X'’ providing for unlimited usage. The “B” cards will entitle their holders to amounts beyond those prescribed for the non-essential users. The OPA based its “A” range on the “average daily mileage” which a non-essential motorist drives — estimated at 4.5 miles a day. Ernest Foster Becomes Head of U.P. Bureau Ernest F. Foster, former SC instructor in journalism, last riight was appointed manager of the Los Angeles bureau of tne United Press. Formerly he has served as manager of the Reno and Fresno bureaus of the same press ac-sociation and was writing the Hollywood column for the United Press feature service. At SC he was assistant editor of the Daily Trojan and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Foster graduated in 1933 and returned \ to assist in the School of Journalism as an instructor while he was working for his master’s degree. to one boy and one girl. Feature editor of her school paper, Miss Senn is a student at Santa Ana High school. Her interest in journalism is primarily in the feature writing field. Amos is editor-in-chief of the South Gate High school Rambler and president of the Los Angeles high school Press association. Under his direction the South Gate paper won the Crombie Allen award for achieving the mast, improvement over a given period. Men Needed as Ushers Thirty men are needed to fill jobs as ushers at the Philharmonic auditorium. Those interested report to the employment office, 228 Student Union. Hinds Lectures to SC Engineers Julian Hinds, chief engineer and general manager of the Metropolitan water district, will address students of the College of Engineering at 11:10 a.m. today, in 159 Science building. Hinds was in active charge of the design of the giant Colorado river aqueduct from its beginning in 1930, and will describe the problems of raising the water more than 1600 feet above the Colorado river on its way to southern California. Hinds, who graduated from the University of Texas in 1908, is a special lecturer in the College of Engineering on the subject of hydraulic design. Japs Capture 7000 Men at 'Rock WASHINGTON, May 6 — (U.E) — ’ The great fortress of Corregidor in Manila bay, once considered “im- j p.egnable,” was surrendered to the Japanese today along with what i remained of an estimated 7000 Filipino and American fighting men | who had held the "rock” for five i months, lacking a day. in one of the bitterest sieges of the war. Approximately 3000 civilians, many of whom fled to the island fortress after the fall of Bataan on Apr. 9. also were believed to have been involved in the surrender which was carried out between Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright and the commanding officer of Japanese forces in the Philippines, believed to be Gen. Masaharu Homma, former Nipponese military attache in Washington. News of the tragedy came early today after the war department, late yesterday, had announced that sea-borne Japanese troops had landed on the Corregidor beaches and were assaulting the fortress. The final, but futile defense of the rock was revealed by tlie navy to have cost five small warships— three minesweepers and two gunboats. The navy also disclosed that 3845 officers and men—2275 bluejackets and 1570 marines—were in the fortress when lt fell and it i was “assumed that all these officers and men have been captured and will be held as prisoners of war.” Their last message, received this morning, was one of “loyalty, devotion, and good cheer to their country, their families, and their friends.” a navy communicue said. F- MAI. GEN. JONATHAN M. WAINWRIGHT—directed the defenses oi Corregidor. Capt. Kenneth M. Hoeffel, in 1 command of Corregidor’s naval forces, reported to the navy department that the minesweeper j Tanager and the river gunboat ; , Oahu had been sunk by Jap gun- , ! fire and that the minesweeper j Pigeon had been blasted to the bottom by bombers. The river gunboat Luzon and ; the minesweeper Quail were severe- j ly damaged by gunfire and were j scuttled along with scores of small local craft when capture appeared imminent. So far as is known no casualties | resulted from the sinkings. Col. Samuel L. Howard, was in command of the defending marines, j under General Wainwright. It was the blackest day for the j United States since the fall of Bataan, where General Wainwright lost the bulk of his forces to the Japanese. With Corregidor also went the other island forts nearby—Hughes, Drum, and Frank. Silence shielded details of the fate of those within Corregidor caverns—perhaps as many as 10.000 persons including at least 68 army nurses who had endured the hell on Bataan peninsula. Those who survived the murderous siege—it is not known how many did—joined their fallen comrades of Bataan as prisoners of war. Popularity Hit as Validity for Literature English Professor Contends War Books Fail to Endure Popularity is not the test of gxx)d literature Dr. Mildred Struble, professor of comparative literature, warned in her talk, “Recent War Literature,” for the Wednesday lecture audience yesterday. Despite the surplus of war literature now on the market, a lasting war book is yet to be written, she contended. Among the pres-j ent-day fiction leaders that are worthy of their authors she named “The Moon is Down,” “Dragon Seed,” and the,“Pied Piper.” On her list of non-fiction best sellers she listed “Flight to Arras,” “Defense Will Not Win the War,” and “Mission to Moscow.” TASTES DIFFER Today's public is skeptical of propaganda, she maintained, and therefore is not turning to the escapist type of literature that was found in the last war. Pointing out that current Journalistic writings are not literature, she defined true literature as being an artistic reflection of the times. It is a medium between scientific data and the speed up journalistic writing. The author of “That One Day,” Pierre van Paasen, came under her critical analysis. Of him, she says that he aspires to a place in literature, without ever reaching it. SINCLAIR TRIES HARD Of Upton Sinclair’s “Dragons’ Teeth,” she said that he tries hard, but misses; his dialogue is not alive. She portrayed him as a literary Leviathan. Another, whose work she declared inept, was Alice Duer Miller, author of “The White Cliffs of Dover.” Depicting her as “tragically inept,” Dr. Struble claims that she has written too long for the ladies’ magazines. Sigrid Undset's “Escape to the Future” is unsurpassed by any woman writer today, Dr. Struble emphasized. In this recent work, however, she mars it somewhat by her thorough hatred of Germany, which creeps into the work. Apolliad to Honor Winners r~? Congress Advised to Conscript Cars, Set Speed Limit WASHINGTON, May . 6—(I7.E)— Legislation authorizing wartime requisitioning of private automobiles and tires and a nationwide speed limit of 40 miles an hour to force motorists to conserve their tires, was urged upon congress today by seven top-ranking government officials. They are understood to have told the senate military affairs committee, which is considering requisitioning legislation, that no rubber will be available one year from today for civilian uses; that all synthetic rubbed developed will be needed for war weapons, and that civilian users will have to depend upon whatever stocks are available. Opinion differed as to how the government may be required to take over private vehicles and tires. Price Administrator Leon Henderson, one of those who testified, is reported to have said that requisitioning may become essential in the near future. Presentation Program Scheduled Saturday in Town, Gown Foyer All those who contributed to the 18th annual Apolliad are entitled to invitations to the presentation program which will be given Saturday at 8 p.m. in Bovard auditorium, according to Mrs. Tac.e Hanna Rew, chairman of the Apolliad. These invitations may be secured by calling in the office of the School of Speech, Old College. Students whose works are appearing on the program are asked to make reservations in the speech office for the dinner given by Dr. and Mrs. von KieinSmid honoring the winning entrants, distinguished guests, and critics. The dinner will be held in the Foyer of Town and Gown preceding the presentation. PLAYS PRODUCED Preparing the two original plays, “21 Tomorrow” and “Gabriel in the Willows,” are Prof. William DeMille and Miss Cloyde Dalzall. They are working with School of Speech students who will enact and produce the short plays. “The musical selections promise to be outstanding,” Mrs. Tacie Hanna Rew, chairman of the Apolliad. said. Two compositions for the piano, and a violin and voice solo [ will be presented. In addition to the plays and musical compositions, short stories, essays, poems, dances, and two new features will be given. EDITORIALS PRESENTED Several Daily Trojan editorials which have appeared in the paper during the past year will be read. Showing of original fashion designs will be the other innovation of the presentation program. Following the program, the contributions in art will be displayed Millikan Wins Presidency ofYWCA Shirley Millikan, Delta Gamma, came out on top in yesterday’s YWCA elections to defeat Eleanor Whitcomb for the office of president. To assist her on the Y cabinet, voters chose Mary Kay Krysto, vice-president; Carol Alworth, secretary; and Suzella Cravens, treasurer. BETTY LOU STONE — conducts election oi YWCA officers. U.S. Develops Oil Shipping NEW ORLEANS, May 6 — (LIE) —Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, petroleum coordinator for war, warned tonight that the government is preparing for the day when it may be necessary to rely entirely on land and inland water transportation to supply the eastern seaboard with oil, and that the railroads “are definitely near the limit of their oil-carrying capacity.” In an address before the annual natural gas convention, Ickes asserted that while 600.000 barrels of crude oil were being moved into j eastern states on tank cars daily, . - - there also are demands for tank rnLj..

Nontextiles Class Sponsors Display Old College corridors prominently display exhibits of nine different items of non-textile merchandise. The display was arranged by Prof. Lucille Van de Steeg's class in non-iextile merchandising. Leather goods, including gloves and shoes, furs, china, cosmetics, plastics, upholstered furniture, and mattresses are the items exhibited. ‘ The purpose of the display, to which additions will be made each semester, is to have students familiarize themselves with the manufacturing processes and different qualities of merchandise.” said Miss Van de Steeg, visiting professor of retailing. Don Milligan Awarded Knights Service Plaque Don Milligan was presented the Trojan Knights plaque for the most outstanding service to SC of a Knight member at the annual banquet of the organization last night at the Mona Lisa, Hollywood. President Dwight Hart introduced Milligan and awarded the honorary trophy for his f --: ‘ him two years of meritious service as a Knight. In presenting him with the plaque, Hart said that the award was one of the highest that a Trojan might receive. Active in campus affairs since his ASSC Head Receives Petitions for Secretary Applications are now being received from women students for the position of secretary to the president of the Associated Students.

Last December he was chairman of the Homecoming decorations and in 1940 he was chairman of the committee for the annual bonfire. As a Knight he has helped conduct and direct the activity program of the university. After he receives his degree in June, he plans to enter the navy. In thanking his fellow-members for the award, Milligan said: ‘•The Trojan Knights is the real fraternity of Troy, and it is a genuine honor to sit at a table and look to right and left and see friends and not just men. The leadership of the Knights is the important thing, for 'it is this organization which in a real manner serves the university.” Prior to the dinner meeting, the 23 new members of the junior-senior service organization were initiated at the Kappa Alpha fraternity house. The graduating seniors presented a gavel to Hart for his services as president during the past year, and Hart turned over the presidency to Bruce Graham, newly elected; head-
