Victory Hut Collections
Swell to $700
Defense Stamp Sales Drive Goes into Fourth Week
Collections from the Victory Hut are swelling the defense fund of Uncle Sam for the building of munitions by nearly $700. Successfully completing a third week, sorority women are frantically trying to top the maximum sales set by Alpha Gams last week.
Competing for a prize contributed by Barker Brothers to the sorority selling the most stamps in a single day, sororities are making super salesmen of their members.
Alpha Chis began the race and took in $44 in the first day. ADPis immediately went above that figure only to be overcome by the Alpha Gams with $78. This week Kappa Delts fell down to a low place, but the Gamma Phis brought the total up by $50. Today's intake brought the final total up to $125 for the week.
Dorothy LaFollette reported that the continuing interest in the hut was most gratifying to members of the victory committee and to the AWS cabinet which is sponsoring the hut.
The Victory Hut opened during Victory Week and took in $400 the first week. Since then it has had a steady income on the three days per week that it has been open. Each day the hut is manned by members of a different organization from campus. Until the end of the semester social sororities are competing for the prize.

Diego Suarez Base Formally Occupied by British Forces
LONDON, May 8—(U.P.) — The London Daily Star said yesterday that radio Vichy had broadcast the arrival of an American expeditionary force in Natal, South Africa, whose principal port, Durban, is about 1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of Madagascar.
LONDON, May 7—(U.P.) — Britain’s lightning occupation of northern-most Madagascar ended in decisive victory today when French defenders, swamped by a 48-hour assault which cost the British more than 1000 men, surrendered the Diego Suarez naval base, dominating stronghold of the
entire island.
Vichy French resistance collapsed like a punctured balloon under the final British land attack during the night on Antsirane, chief town of the great land-locked harbor, after Diego Suarez had fallen yesterday. AGREEMENT REACHED
Climaxing a synchronized assault by British land, sea, and air forces which had been three months in the planning, the commanders of the victors and vanquished drew up th? agreement for French capitulation, giving the united nations a formidable base in the Japanese-menaced Indian ocean.
(Official Vichy announcements confirmed the surrender of Diego j Suarez, and the capture of Col. Ed- j ward Claerecout, commander of the j fortress, and the commander of the French naval forces, along with the troops. Gov. Gen. Armand Annet ! notified Vichy that “all other parts of the island will be defended with ] the same determination.” Jules Brevie, secretary of colonies, mes- ! saged Annet that “the fight must continue in Madagascar despite the loss of Diego Suarez.”)
APPROACH CLEARED The British naval force off Madagascar, reported unofficially to number more than a score of ships, ! was cleaning out the mined approach to Diego Suarez bay pre-paratory to steaming in and putting the final seal on the conquest.
How much of Madagascar Britain planned to occupy was not known. Informants noted the potential consequences of a Japanese attempt to land elsewhere on ,the 1000-mile ! long island.	'
New Army Training Quartet Program Revealed Presents

College Students May Now Receive Deferment by Joining Any Army Branch
A new program whereby college students may enlist in all branches- of the army has just been inaugurated and complete details of the plan will be announced in the near future, Col. Zim E. Lawhon reported at the meeting of the American Council on Education in Chicago on May 2, Dr.

Nippons Move Against India, Nazis Claim
Chiang Kai-Shek’s Forces Check Jap Drive on Yunnan
CHUNGKING, May 7—(U.E) — Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s Yunnan province forces have checked a Japanese Burma army with heavy losses 24 miles inside China, it was announced last night, but unofficial reports said another Japanese offshoot from Burma was moving against India and threatening the Indian port of Chitta-going, 30 miles beyond the Burma border.
(The German and Vichy radios said the Japanese have invaded India, advancing within 62 miles of Chittagong, and Berlin quoted a Tokyo broadcast to the Indian people as saying; “the Japanese must go into India, but have not the intention to oppress the Indians.”)
(British authorities In London had no confirmation of the report.)
The report of the move on India came as the Japanese appeared definitely to have lost their momentum in Yunnan province in a three-day battle before Chefang. and Chinese sources confirmed that U. S. Lt. Gen. Joseph W. Stillwell continued to direct Chinese forces in Burma itself on a line north of Mandalay and Lashio.
Chinese spokesmen recalled that Japanese troops were reported to have landed near Akyab, Burmese port 160 miles south of Chittan-gong, last month—a report denied subsequently in allied quarters but repeated persistently by axis sources.
A landing at Akyab, they said, naturally would precede a drive on Chittagong because the only feasible communications through northwestern Burma and eastern India follow the passes in the Arakan mountains along the coast between the two ports.
The new plan, by which college men may receive deferment upon enlisting^and then continue their studies until graduation, will supplement the army aviation cadet training program already in existence.
DETAILS DELAYED
Dean Raubenheimer will issue complete details concerning the plan as soon as army officials have completed necessary arrangements.
Those enlisting in the proposed training will take an examination at the end of the sophomore year which is similar to the navy V-l program.
All men in the age group of 18-45 will be eligible for enlistment, making it possible to include graduate students.
EXAMS SET
At the same time, Dean Raubenheimer urged all men interested in the army aviation cadet program
“The Aviation Cadet program offered by the army air force is not for pilots only but includes many other branches of the flying force,” according to Dr. A. S. Ra ubenheimer.
There has been a definite misapprehension as to those positions open for college men in the program to offer deferment for completion of college educations.
Opportunities are open for men in navigation, bombardiering, meteorology, photography, engineering, communications, and armaments.

U.S. Smashes 12 Jap Ships off Australia
Only Three American Aircraft Lost in Naval Victory as Encounter Sends Enemy Cruiser, Two Destroyers to Bottom
GEN. MacARTHUR’S HEADQUARTERS, Melbourne, Friday, May 8—(U.P.)—A great naval and air battle is “now taking place” in the southwest Pacific, it was announced officially today.
There was no immediate elaboration as to the forces engaged or as to the specific scene of the battle.
The bare official announcement said:
“A great naval and air action is now taking place in the southwest Pacific area.”
However, the announcement came almost simultaneously GROUP dedicated to HAYDN	release of the daify united nations headquarters
communique, which revealed that a Japanese fleet had reached the Louisiade islands, only 500 miles east of the vital Australian outpost at Port Moresby.
American and Australian bombers, roaring to the attack on this fleet, already have destroyed a transport, the communique said.
The C Major quartet is one of a group of six, composed in 1736, and dedicated to Joseph Haydn. The dissonance in the tragic introduction to the first movement has been the subject of much controversy: Nineteenth century music lovers consider this work a blot on Mozart’s musical reputation, but mod-

Wainwright Tells Men to Cease All Action
WASHINGTON, May 7—(U.P.)—The war department said today it had been advised unofficially through Japanese broadcasts from Manilla that part </f the Jap terms for surrender of Corregidor was a broadcast by Lt. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright calling on all his American-Filipino field
forces to lay down their arms. I----
“In order to avoid further unnecessary sacrifices,” a communique said, quoting the Jap-controlled radio station, “General Wainwright is reported to have reluctantly aceded to these terms and to have broadcast appropriate orders to his field commanders.”
The war department emphasized that it had received “no official information on the subject-’ and that it has “no knowledge whether or not the reported conditions have been met.”
The communique was issued a few hours after the department revealed that more than 11.000 soldiers, sailors, marines, and civilians— including General Wainwright — became Japanese prisoners when Corregidor and her three sister forts in Manila bay surrendered.
It said theie were 11,574 Americans and Filipinos on the four forts as of Apr. 15. That figure did not take into consideration casualties suffered in the final siege of Corregidor.
There was no confirmation here that Wainwright had made the broadcast, which the department had said was described by the Manila radio as the price for stopping attacks upon Corregidor.
Though organized resistance ended with the fall of Corregidor, American-Filipino forces have been
sniping away at the invaders throughout the Archipelago, especially in the southernmost Philippine island of Mindanao.
There, native and American troops have struck time and again at Jap bases and supply houses, inflicting heavy damage and casualties. The Japs, in recent days, have been making what appeared to be a vigorous effort to wipe out these nests. The island of Cebu has been another center of similar resistance.
There was no word as to the fate of the 11.574 on Corregidor and the other forts. It, was the first official disclosure of the number of Americans and Filipinos there.
Thus—exactly five months after Pearl Harbor—the nation counted an unofficial total of 83,551 American and Filipino combatant and civilian war victims—killed, wounded, captured, or missing. The bulk were victims of the battle of the Pacific and at least 21.200 were civilians.
to arrange to appear before an examining board on the campus on May 11 and 12.
Two officers will be in 111 Old College today from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to answer questions students may have in regard to the army service program now scheduled. Students planning to report Monday and Tuesday are asked to file preliminary applications with these officers.
Capt. Hewitt T. Wheless, hero of the air battle over the Philippines in which he was attacked by 18 Jap planes, will be present at the examinations.
DEFERMENT GRANTED
Those who meet the qualifications stressed in the examinations, may enlist in the program at once
The second selection, Quartet in B flat Major, was composed by Anthony Collins, who, for many years, was first viola player with London Symphony orchestra, has also been conductor for the Carlos Opera company and the Daler’s Wells Opera company. Music for the film “Victoria the Great,” and the overture for “Sire Andrew and Sir Toby” were written by this noted composer.
PIECE REARRANGED
Brahms’ Piano Quintet was originally written for a string quartet with two violin-cellos. It was then rearranged by the composer as a sonata for two pianos. In its final form it is a striking example of rich sonority produced through light scoring. The opening of the first movement is one of Brahms’ most memorable melodies.
Other concerts in the series will be held Wednesday, May 13. at 8:30 p.m.; Sunday, May 17, at 4 p.m.; and Wednesday, May 20, at 8:30.
The quartet consists of John Pennington, first violin; William Primrose, viola; Thomas Petre, second violin, Lauri Kennedy, violin-cello. Mr. Kennedy is substituting for Warwick Evans, regular cellist of the quartet.
The musical presentations are sponsored by the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation in the Library of Congress.

Germans Sink British Cruiser
LONDON. May 7—U'.R)—'The new, 10.000-ton British cruiser Edinburg and four allied supply ships, three of them loaded, have been sunk along with at least one German destroyer in a ferocious, four-day battle on the Arctic supply route to Russia, the admiralty announced tonight.
In addition to one German destroyer sunk, another was badly damaged and at least three German planes were shot down.
German submarines, airplanes, and light surface craft joined the attack on two convoys, one homeward bound in ballast, and another bound for Russia with war supplies. Although the Russian-bound convoy lost three ships, the admiralty announced that it reached its destination with 90 per cent of its cargoes intact, implying that it contained 30 ships and that 27 escaped.

Eight of the ships were definitely sunk and four were badly damaged. In addition, six Japanese planes were destroyed.
The action was carried out with
the loss of bat three United
States planes.
VICINITY REVEALED
The Japanese fleet presumably was part of a Japanese invasion force that had been reported moving toward the Solomon islands.
The navy listed as sunk: one light cruiser, two destroyers, four gunboats. and cne supply vessel.
The navy also revealed that U. S. submarines in the far east in separate actions had sunk three enemy vessels—a medium-sized cargo ship, a medium-sized tanker, and a small cargo ship.
The communique said merely that the battle took place in the vicinity of the Solomon islands, which are northeast of Australia, slightly to the east of Japan’s strong land, sea. and air bases on New Britain and New Guinea islands, and north of the new American base on Free French New Caledonia island.
SITUATION DISCUSSED
The area is one in which the Japanese navy nominally has been considered dominant and would indicate that a powerful American force, probably a task force based in Hawaii, was involved.
The fact that a number of planes were involved would indicate that the American force included at least one aircraft carrier.
American armed forces now have sunk, probably sunk, or damaged a grand total of 238 ships since Pearl Harbor was attacked. On Jan. 31. in raids on the Marshall and Gilbert islands, our forces sent 16 enemy ships to the bottom.
President Rufus B. von KleinSmid leaves today for New York city where he will receive the gold medal of the National Institutes of Social Sciences “for distinguished services to humanity” on May 14.
The announcement, coming from the president’s office, stated that he has been selected as one of three persons to receive the 1942 award.. Donald M. Nelson, war productions board chairman, and Mrs. Anne O’Hare McCormick, New York Times staff member, will also be presented the award.
Paying tribute to the educator’s leadership in developing cultural relations between the United States and South America, Willis H. Booth, director of the National Industrial Conference board, will present the gold medal at the institute’s annual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel.
The medals are conferred each year upon two men and one woman, who. in their various fields of activity, have given at least a part of their lives to outstanding altruistic service.
