Program Prepares College Students for Officer’s Rank
The U.S. navy today called upon college students between the ages of 17 and 19, inclusive, to consider its class V-l program, which will provide 80,000 students with an opportunity to enlist in the naval reserve and continue their studies for at least two academic years.
The program is designed to prepare college students for future training and qualify them as commissioned officers in the naval reserve. It is in line with the navy department's policy of encouraging young America to obtain as much education as possible.
ENLISTMENTS SOUGHT
Students may enlist immediately in class V-l and be placed on inactive duty to continue in college at

Johnson, Nehru Confer on New Indian Crisis
Roosevelt Envoy Acts as Mediator in Defense Dispute
NEW DELHI, Apr. 8—(U.R)—Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, most influential leader of the all-India party, and Louis Johnson, President Roosevelt’S envoy, are discussing a new formula for solving India’s self-government crisis, it was reported tonight.
Reliable sources said there was no definite agreement between them, and it was presumed that Johnson was careful not to be maneuvered into a position where he might find himself aligned with either side in the deadlock on the defense question that threatens to frustrate Britain’s endeavors to make India a willing war partner.

Russia Reveals Nazi War Losses
KUIBYSHEV, Apr. 8—«T.P>—Germany lost 137,000 men killed and more than 400,000 wounded on the Russian front in February and March, the army newspaper Red Star said tonight as other reports told of the Red army smashing across the old white Russian border, 250 miles west of Moscow.
(The late night communique broadcast from Moscow said 55 German planes were destroyed on the ground and in air combat Tuesday, raising the total for 11 days to 668, It said there were no major developments Wednesday.)
Semi-official reports said the Russians had crossed the white Russian border at several points and were “fighting to regain the province," westernmost of the Soviet republics on the central front and 40 miles beyond by-passed Smolensk at the nearest point.
Red Star said the 537,000 German casualties, piling up at the rate of 3000 to 4000 a day on the central front alone, were in addition to prisoners and the heavy toll taken cn Adolf Hitler’s invasion armies by disease and frostbite. In that same period the Red army captured 1062 cannon and 184 tanks.

LONDON, Apr. 8—(U.R)—India’s Moslem league has joined the all-India congress party in rejecting Britain’s self-government proposals unless the Indians received full control immediately of their country’s defenses, New Delhi dispatches said tonight.
The action clouded anew the outlook for Sir Stafford Cripps’ tortuous mission of getting these two major political groups to accept the British proposals and mobilize Indian manpower and material resources to help win the war.
His continued talks with Nehru, as well as with British leaders, was believed proof of his close interest in the negotiations, however, and it was considered likely that he was playing the role of a mediator. SESSION MEETS
The congress working committee was in secret session most of the day. Members were exceptionally careful not to reveal anything about the proceedings, and Maulana Abul Azad, party president, requested newspapermen not to speculate on the trend of developments.
It was noteworthy, however, that the committee has not yet handed to Sir Stafford Cripps, the British negotiator, the decision It reached Monday to reject London's counterproposal on the demand for an Indian defense minister. Its continued (Continued on Page Two)

Blackout Hits L.A.
Misidentified Planes Held Cause for Alert Signal
LOS ANGELES, Apr. - 8 — (U.P.)—The most complete blackout of the war thus far kept the Los Angeles area in total darkness for nearly two hours tonight on orders of military authorities.
The blackout went into effect at 9:08 p.m., PWT, and the all clear signal did not
come until 10:54 p.m. During that period the largest city on the west coast was a ghost town with not an external sign of life visible outside its buildings.
FIFTY-MILE AREA AFFECTED
The blackout covered a radius of about 50 miles from Los Angeles and the entire region was darkened within minutes after the sirens shrieked the announcement that the army had ordered all lights out in the area.
Within 10 minutes after the all clear signal was given, the normally heavy city traffic was tied into a thousand snarls as motorists caught away from their homes began moving about again.
About a half-hour prior to the blackout, the first alert was given to civil defense authorities and peace officers, warning them of the possibility of a blackout.
AIRCRAFT SIGHTED
(in San Francisco, headquarters of the western defense command announced the Los Angeles blackout was caused by “unidentified aircraft later identified as friendly^*
The army said the yellow “alert” was given at 8:35 p.m., followed by the blue signal at 8:45, when all radio stations in the area went off the air. The red blackout signal was given by the fourth interceptor command at 9 p.m.)
Four elderly persons died of heart attacks during the blackout, Georgia street receiving hospital reported. George E. White, 65, and a Mrs. ingersoll, 57, were found dead on the street, and Charles Treamin, 61, and Frank Herring. 54, dropped dead in their homes, the hospital said.
The blackout apparently was confined to the Los Angeles region, not extending as far south as San Diego or as far north as Santa Barbara, both of which towns reported that they had not yet been ordered blacked out.
All-U Funfest Planned Tonight
on Phone Calls
The ratio of incoming to outgoing phone calls through the university will decrease sharply, since it has been disclosed that the student code numbers for outgoing calls have been suspended indefinitely.
Operators told the Daily Trojan that 23,000 student calls had been made last month at a cost of S805. This averages 3’£ cents per call. Affected by the order will be student editors, members of their staffs, and student business offices.
A local statistician declared that S805 would purchase a shade more than 40 tires—tha; is, if tires could be bought and if the university wanted that many.
Panel Group Hears Eitzen
Professor Speaks on Student Life in Today’s World
Dr. Daviod D. Eitzen. professor of pastoral service, will lead a panel discussion today, 3:15 p.m., at the Y house on the subject, “The Student’s Relationship to Today's World.” This is the sixth in a series conducted by the YWCA.
“To Marriage: Keep the Home Fires Burning” will be the topic for this week’s panel, which is an outgrowth of the open forum held three weeks ago by Dr. Harold C. Case, lecturer. All students, men and women, are invited to attend.
STUDENTS PARTICIPATE
“The discussion will be an informal consideration of problems which thoughtful university students face before and after marriage if they choose marriage as a career,” Dr. Eitzen said yesterday.
He continued by saying that the problems discussed will be raised by the students and will center around “reason and romance.”
QUESTIONS LISTED
Some of the questions which will be discussed are:
Is it advisable to get married before the man goes to war? At what age is it best to get married? Is it better to get married early or late in life? Are there hazards connected with marriage when both the man and woman must work? Is it true that the male ego is the more sensitive?
Betty Lou Stone, YWCA president and Dorothea Tilton, Amazon president, will be the student leaders for the discussion. “To God: Where is God While WTe Fight?” and ‘Toward a Better WTorld: After Victory —What?” will be the next two topics presented.

Everybody knows it doesn’t matter what women think about football. Men just assume that women go to the games to watch some fellow with a ball attempt to outrun some other fellow.
Lots of people get pushed around, sometimes a few bones
are splintered, water boys dash on and off the field almost as often as the players do under the new substitute ruling, cheer leaders do their best to make everybody go crazy, everybody goes crazy, a gun goes off, we win, they lose, and what have you? That’s what men think women think about football games.
Men are right.

Jeff Cravath seemed to be everywhere at the same time, barking orders, demonstrating to some confused boy what to do when, and uttering such profound statements as, “There isn’t a man in the United States who can catch a halfback if he’s given a defense!”
