Women s War Jobs Listed by Committee
Faculty Advisers Tell Opportunities for Defense Positions
In order to help women determine just where they can best aid the war effort, the committee on the relation of the university to the education of women is arranging a list of job opportunities for SC women.
Included in the list are many jobs not previously thought of as “womens jobs.” Though some of these will be only tasks for the duration, many offer opportunities after the war.
Heading the committee, which was appointed by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid, is Miss Melen Hall Moreland, counselor of women.
ln answer to the question by many women, “why should I continue school in times like these?,” the committee released a five-point bulletin. Listed on the bulletin were:
1.	A college degree implies the completion of a specific academic and cultural program.
2.	A college degree is a vocational asset. College-trained women are in demand in many different vocational fields.
3.	Through a college program, the student may discover vocational aptitudes and interests and develop
a foundation for future training.
4. A college education may lead directly into graduate professional training of one year or more for specific occupations.
5. A college education helps a woman to become more socially adequate and competent in any type of service.

Five-Day Appearance in Bovard Planned

tomorrow evening at 6:45 in the Foyer of Town and Gown.
More than 150 people have expressed their intentions of attending the banquet. Roderick Krone, youthful SC violinist, and John Raitt, baritone singer, will be the featured guests in the evening’s entertainment.
KRONE HAILED AS GREAT
Krone has been hailed by musical critics as a future great, and Raitt has appeared in numerous cpera and play productions and has played several roles on the screen.
An attorney prominent in Los Angeles law circles for the past decade, D'Orr dropped his practice in favor of working for the government in a $l-a-year position. OATH TAKEN
He took his oath of office on Jan. 1 of this year, and since then has been given the power of rationing all consumer’s goods in the state.
D'Orr served the army as a major in World War I. The armistice v:_s signed just before his assignment as a special envoy to France. He graduated frcm Georgia Institute of Technology and received his law degree from Jefferson and Lincoln university, Chicago.
The receiving line will be head- j ed by Mrs. Rufus B. von KleinSmid. Others who will greet the guests are Dr. and Mrs. Max Krone; Mr. and Mrs. D'Orr; Dr. Rockwell Dennis Hunt, dean of the Graduate School; Ben E. Smith, AGS president; and Paula George, AGS vice-president.

Burma Campaign Nears Completion
BY UNITED PRESS
The Japanese yesterday appeared rapidly to be completing their conquest of Burma, a victory comparable to the conquest of Malaya-Singapore, and there were indica- | tions that a puppet “independent” | government, somewhat similar to the Nipponese set-up in Manchu- j kuo, might be established in the former British possession.
Powerful Nipponese mechanized forces, operating under conditions favorable for wheeled warfare, were within striking distance of Lashio, western terminus of China's Burma read munitions line, and it appeared that U. S. lend-lease supplies accumulated there for transport to “Free China” were being destroyed along with the repair shops and fuel dumps of the Chinese transport organization which controls traffic on the long Burma road communications artery.
Included in ,the floor show will be a ballet dance -presented by some of the football players, and a dance by Alice Barrington. This will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Dr. Robert E. Vivian, dean of the College of Engineering, will speak on “National Defense and the Chemical Industry” for the Wednesday lecture today at 4:30 p.m. in 159 Science.
Speaking of the developments and advances in the chemical industry during this war, Dr. Vivian will tell how chemical engineering of America. Airplane metals, higher-plays a vital part in the war effort octane aviation gasoline, explosives, chemical warfare, gases, and newly developed synthetic rubber processes have been* some of its contributions.
“New and better explosives for the upfift of the Japs are being developed,” said Dr. Vivian.
As an example of the explosives now produced by the United States, Dr. Vivian named TNT, originally made from coal tar, and nitroglycerine, formerly made from fats and oils; both are now manufactured from petroleum products. Germany has fallen behind in the production ot chemicals, placing the United States out in front, the lecturer will point out.
Chemical engineers are responsible for the new methods of concentrating foods and the dehydration of fruits and vegetables, which will greatly lessen the problem of getting supplies to the front, he said.

ANKARA, Apr. 28—(U.R)—Reports spread through diplomatic circles today that Adolf Hitler is planning a purge on the home front to cope with sagging morale before launching his supreme effort against Russia.
These reports, partially confirmed by travelers from Germany, said that a general weariness among workers, a shortage of manpower, restrictions on travel, a growing casualty list on the eastern front, and fear of a typhus plague all contributed to the strain. Travelers said nazi morale is lower than at any time since the war started.
Most Germans realize, according to reports here, that a failure to defeat Russia this summer wculd mean the beginning of the end. The same view was expressed to a prominent Turkish editor by members of an axis trade mission recently. it was learned.
Diplomatic informants interpreted Hitler’s address to the reichstag Sunday as indicating that all was not well in Germany, and read ln it a veiled threat against non-cooperative and disgruntled nazi official/
Hitler Opens Drive to Draft Labor
BT UN'ITED PRESS
Adolf Hitler, obviously groping with a labor crisis, empowered his 41 nazi party district leaders Tuesday to impress every man, woman, and child in Germany, including prisoners of war and visiting foreign workers, into war factory and food production.
A dispatch by the official DNB news agency, broadcast by the Ber- . lin radio, revealed that Hitler has turned over the new “work or prison” powers voted him by the Reichstag Sunday to his closely-controlled party chiefs, overstepping the domain of labor minister Franz Seldte, a former pacifist who has never rated high in party af- ! fairs.	!
SC Advisement Day Planned
Twelve hundred preparatory and high school students are expected to gather on the SC campus next Saturday on the 14th annual Advisement day to learn about college.
In order that the visiting students may be informed of the noncurricu-lar activities that arise in university life, Miss Helen H. Moreland, counselor of women, and Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, will conduct assemblies for men and women on such things as extracurricular activities and the physical fitness program.
Regardless of the plans that students have for the future, it is hoped by the university officers that many will attend the function which is especially prepared to help them plan future courses.
The chief problem that will be considered at the conference will be the difficulties and differences of obtaining a higher education with the speed-up program of wartime. The three-year program for university courses will be specifically considered by Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.
fight to halt a dangerous inflationary threat, estimated the order — known as “general maximum price regulation”—will cut the presen \ cost of living by l*i per cent. SUBJECT TO CHANGE
The regulations, to be followed b\ sharp curbs on installment buying and other anti-inflation panaceas, will remain in effect for the duration but subject to any changes the price control office decrees.
Henderson issued the order under authority vested in him by the emergency price control act of 1942. Persons with grievances against any of his regulations may apply to him for an adjustment.
If his decision is not considered satisfactory, the claimant then may appeal to a three-judge emergency court of review especially appointed for such purposes. In event the petitioner is still dissatisfied, he may take his case directly to the supreme court.
CASE REVIEWED
There is no exact estimate of the number of articles affected but officials said there are “literally millions.” Thus, instead of listing those affected the OPA merely listed those excepted, chiefly certain farm products which are subject to specific legislation.
The highest wholesale and retail prices prevailing during last March were designated as the absolute maximums which may be charged, effective next month, for the countless articles making up the American way of life—bread, beef, pork, canned foods, coffee, clothing, cigarettes, drugs, toiletries, furniture, home appliances, hardware, and other so-called indispensables.
Fraternity Honors Fathers at Dinner
Sigma Phi Epsilon honored their fathers at the annual Father’s and Son’s banquet last Monday night. A brief resume of the aims and accomplishments of the house by Lyman Lee, president, was followed by a talk on the history of the university by Harry Silke, director of special foundations.
Thirty-two fathers attended and joined in f^mes of ping-pong and pool.

Though most of the emphasis to date has been on ,the advantages to be gained by the men, the dean
said, women may also benefit by the program.
“The women, too, should realiz# that a speed-up program is a matter of concern to them,” he said. “We hear on every hand now from authorities that women are going to be needed, and perhaps drafted, into a variety of fields of endeavor, more especially into industrial plants and other areas where men can well be released for the armed forces.”
“Above all,” the desfti emphasized, “what will be needed are trained women for the leadership, for supervisory positions, for industrial purposes. The women student* should seriously consider, therefore, going into the above mentioned subject fields.”
