Morkovin Details New Hearing Aid
The hesitancy and embarrassment! of persons who are hard of hearing or totally deaf may be a thing of the past, declared Dr. Boris V. Morkovin, head of SC’s hearing clinic, yesterday, as he outlined a new method recently developed by the clinic for teaching speech, lip-reading to deaf persons through the medium of the motion picture.
“Hearing is not simply a matter of sound.” he stated. “The concentration and coordination of senses almost creates a new sense which may be so highly developed by an individual that normal hearing can become super-normal and faulty hearing normal. A person who is totally deaf may, through this system, take his place again in a normal social and business life.”
Dr. Morkovin, who is opening a class in “Psychological Basis for Lip Reading” today in 244 Old College at 4:14 p.m., compared the system with that of teaching foreigners to speak English. “The tongue muscles of the Spaniard, for instance, are simply not trained to form English syllables. Therefore he cannot even hear these syllables correctly. When he learns to place his tongue in the correct position to form them, then he also hears it/’ said Dr. Morkovin.

British War Cabinet
Sir Stafford Cripps Becomes Commons Head;
Government Critics Force Revisions in Group
LONDON, Feb. 20 (Friday)—(U.P.)—Prime Minister Chur-chill streamlined his government today to meet the British empire’s greatest crisis and to satisfy his Critics, at home and in the dominions.
He reduced the war cabinet from nine to seven men, eliminating Lord Beaverbrook, min-
ister of production; Sir Howard Kingsley Wood, chancellor of the exchequer; and Arthur Greenwood, minister without portfolio, and adding to the new cabinet, Sir Stafford Cripps, former ambassador to Russia who becomes lord privy seal and leader of commons.
There were reports that King George intervened in the crisis to

This was the announcement made by Albert Sydney Raubenheimer, director of the educational program of the university, in regard to the continuation of the Wednesday lecture series, which will resume Wednesday, Feb. 25 in the art and lecture room of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library building at 4:30 p.m.

induce Churchill to make the changes. While these reports were not confirmed, it1 was known that the king received Cripps at Buckingham palace Thursday, on the occasion of his relinquishment of the ambassadorship, and that Cripps stayed for lunch. It was recalled that Cripps refused the supply minister’s job three weeks ago when Beaverbrook became production minister, on the grounds that the job did not carry war cabinet rank.
Churchill had resisted the changes strongly, and yielded only when he was threatened with being swept out of office by the public clamor over the loss of Singapore and the passage of German warships though the English channel. Even then, he went something less than half way from what1 his more radical critics had demanded, although he is believed to have satisfied most of the opponents he must face in the house of commons war debate next week.
Clement R. Attlee, lord privy seal, was shifted to the dominions secretary post, replacing Viscount Cranborne, thus making way for Cripps, who henceforth will be government spokesman in commons except on occasions when Churchill appears.
Dr. Opie Talks to Students
Dr. Redvers Opie, economic adviser to the British embassy in Washington, will speak at a luncheon at 12:10 in the Foyer of Town and Gown Thursday. He will be presented as a guest of President Rufus B. von KieinSmid and the Associated Graduate students.
Speaking at SC after completing an extensive schedule in coming across the United States, Dr. Opie appears Sunday in Carnegie Hall, New York, then in John Hopkins university, and then flies "west to talk to groups at Berkeley, Stanford, Cal Tech, and SC.
The economist spent several weeks in London last autumn studying economic problems and policies of the British government and is also well versed in the present economic needs of the United nations in their attempt to defeat the axis.
Robert Dockson, president of the Graduate School who is in charge of the arrangements for Dr. Opie’s appearance, urges that faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates interested in our present economic problems attend the lecture.
Noyes Says People Debunk Life of Values'
by Marilyn Johnson
Debunking life of its real values has become the aim of this generation said Dr. Alfred Noyes, celebrated English poet, speaking before the council of religion bar\quet last night in the foyer of Town and Gown.
“All this has come from incompetent misinterpretations of science,” declared Dr. Noyes in his speech on “The Role of Religion in Literature and Life.” “Getting a plus out of a minus and then explaining away the plus is the crowning sin of this age.”
NOYES INTRODUCED
Bewilderment and confusion are rampant in the world today, and the political confusion which began about 50 years ago has become increasingly apparent in the intellectual thought of the
he had an immortal destiny. The determination between absolute right and wrong based on religious conviction has gone,” pointed out Dr. Noyes.
Quoting from his poetry, Noyes suggested some of the values behind things which we are losing. Men say they have become more tolerant by which they only mean they have become more indifferent. Tolerance should have led to kindness, but the cynics have steeled peoples’ minds against sympathy.
VIEWS GIVEN
“Wrong has come to be more sophisticated than the right. Brutality, the sordid, the ugly is now the aim of the artist. No longer does
Aid Dutch in Java
American, British Joint Forces Take Action on Island
BATAVIA, Feb. 19—(U.P.) —United States troops have landed to help defend Java, more are expected to land soon, and British troops already are in action beside the Dutch in south Sumatra, attempting to hold back the Japanese invasion horde from this island, it was revealed today.
Heartened by this support, Dutch officials announced that 182 Japanese ships had been sunk or damaged up to Feb. 14, citing this as proof that the Japanese can be stopped if the allies mass enough of their strength in time.
REINFORCEMENTS EXPECTED
Arrival of a “relatively small number” of American ground forces, to supplement the American naval and air units which have been fighting throughout the Netherlands Indies for several weeks, was disclosed by the Aneta news agency which added, “confidence prevails that the United States and Australia will keep their promise to send additional reinforcements as quickly as possible.”
The American troops have seen no action yet, and have been taking life comparatively easy in a “certain east Java town,” according to Areta, but British gunners, possibly some who escaped from Singapore, were reported battling Japanese pushing south toward the Soenda straits and Java from the fallen oil center of Palembang.
BRITISH SHORT PLANES
The British “have continued manning artillery as successive waves of enemy planes flew over them,” Aneta said, disclosing a shortage of air support comparable to the situation at Singapore.
The Americans have been in Java “six or seven weeks,” according to Aneta. They got a hearty welcome but officials here were quoted as saying that “their numbers are by no means large enough yet.” The officials added, however, that “their arrival serves as indication that the Netherlands Indies do not fight alone.”

Philosophy Forum to Begin Tuesday
Adapting itself to the present day issues, the 24th semi-annual philosophy forum, which begins 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in Bowne hall, Mudd memorial hall of philosophy, will center around the general theme “War in a Changing World,” announced Prof. P. R. Helsel, director of the spring program.
In line with the main topic is the first lecture “The Navy in the University Program,” to be given by Lt. Cmdr. D. C. Watson, head of the NROTC unit on campus.
A total of 30,000 men per year is the aim of the navy air corps, which would mean the intake of 2500 men a month in order to fill the quota, Watson explained in outlining his Tuesday topic.
Choosing university graduates and present juniors and seniors, 14,000 V-7 (volunteer reservists) are wanted to complete the goal of the navy
department.
The marines hope to garner 5500 j reserve commissioned men within the year, bringing the total of men from universities in the armed forces, with the exception of the army, to 60,000.
