Hitler-shelving' Nazi
Advances
propaganda, says prof cost U. S.
six ships
by Bill Sunday
With the opinion that the recent news story about the “shelving” of Adolph Hitler is a “thinkpiece story based on wild rumors,” Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, assistant professor of political science, believes that the Nazi propaganda ministry is beginning an all-out campaign to arouse suspicion among the allies and to convince the Ger- i-
man home front that increased resistance will force the United Nations to ease their “unconditional surrender” peace terms.
“Nazi ideology,” says Dr. Hindman, “is based more strongly on a supreme leadership than is fascism.” Because of this fact, even if Hitler’s power is reduced, he will always be der Fuehrer of the Nazi party.”
Even now, says Dr. Hindman, the Nazi propaganda machine is overemphasizing the sacrifice which the united nations must make to conquor Europe and is at the same time stirring up trouble between the Russians and the Anglo-American allies.
While America and Britain are deciding between themselves what is to be done with Italy, the Russians, according to Dr. Hindman, are being given no voice in the postwar arrangements. This, he says, can lead only to a Russian desire to decide on the postwar reconstruction of Germany.
“Germany can become stronger,” says Dr. Hindman, “if it can weaken the Anglo-American-Rus-sian relations and in this way reduce the amount of lerfl-lease aid to Stalin’s people.”	,
Although the Nazi party realized that its defeat is inevitable, it is attempting to escape the peace terms demanded by the allies. Dr. Hindman believes that if the united nations are firm in their “unconditional surrender” terms for Italy, they will convince the Nazis that they “won’t get off so easily.”
“An all-united nations conference should be held now,” says Dr. Hindman. “This conference would not only serve to weld the allies closer together, but would also bolster morale on the united nation home fronts.”
Dr. Hindman studied public opinion and propaganda at Colgate university and is conducting a class in politics and propaganda at SC7fl5w. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan.

CHURCHILL . . . returns to Quebec.
Churchill meets with Roosevelt
BY UNITED PRESS
QUEBEC, Aug. 15—Prime Minister Winston Churchill returned to this war conference city today after a three-day visit with President Roosevelt at Hyde Park, N.Y., where they were believed to have discussed generally the military and political problems they will take up with their chiefs of staff here later.
Churchill’s return led to the immediate assumption that Mr. Roosevelt soon will join him at the historical citadel overlooking the St. Lawrence river. In Washington, the White House announced Roosevelt will come to Quebec this week.
Churchill turned aside all queries regarding his hopes for the conference with:
“What kind of weather wi!T"we have1. Will it be fair? Will it be cloudy? In other words, as you say—no comment.”

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15— (U.P.)—Loss of the 1700-ton destroyer Maddox, the submarine Pickerel, and four smaller warships in far-scattered operations against the Axis was disclosed by the navy department tonight bringing to 124 the number of U.S. naval
vessels lost since the start of the war.
(A German high command communique cl&imed that German torpedo planes Friday sank or damaged 32 ships out of an allied Mediterranean convoy of 70 vessels escorted by six warships. The enemy communique said the convoy was moving eastward in the Mediterranean at the time of the attack.) *
Two ships — the Maddox and the minesweeper Sentinel—were lost in the amphibious assault on Sicily. The Maddox went down under a hail of bombs from enemy aircraft off the Mediterranean island, while the Sentinel went down during landing orations on the second day of the invasion.
Two other ships were lost in the Mediterranean during June—apparently during the last stages of the axis rout in Tunisia. They were the subchaser P.C.-496 and the submarine rescue ship Redwing.
British bombers batter cripple Milan factories
LONDON, Aug. 15—(Ui!) — Two powerful fleets of British Lancaster bombers blasted Italian war factories in bomb-battered Milan Saturday night, sweeping over the city on a 22-minute saturation attack as crowds were reported surging through the streets shouting for peace. In a companion raid, swift Mosquito bombers attacked Berlin for the second time in three nights.
United States Marauder medium bombers joined the assaults on Nazi‘Europe by daylight today, attacking the German airfield at St. Omer in the northern tip of France, and coastal observers reported heavy air activity across the Straits of Dover throughout the day.
In the early evening strong forces of bombers, including four-motored ones, crossed the south coast on the way to France.

day in Bovard auditorium.
After several weeks of confusion in which a special wartime proposition had to be drafted and approved because no students were eligible for the position, the senate indicated Thompson as their choice for the office. Day Carman and Daryll Arnold will act as assistant yell kings.
The first exhibition of the new yell kings will take place at a noon rally to promote the sale of stamps and bonds on the SC campus. Masters and his orchestra, who recently opened an engagement at the Biltmore bowl, will entertain the students and the pep leaders will strut their stuff in preparation for the football games later in the season.
Students will be admitted to the auditorium on the purchase of a war savings stamp, according to Carol Brinkerhoff, chairman of the stamp sales on the campus. The stamps may be purchar^d at the Tommy Trojan Victory Hut beginning Wednesday and students will receive a ticket to the rally at that time Miss Brinkerhoff stated.
“Rally chairman Bob Fisk, working with President Bill Caldwell and the Music Corporation of America, has provided a really good program,” Miss Brinkerhoff commented, “and the purchase of a war stamp is a small admission requirement/*
“Incidently ” Miss Brinkerhoff stated, “students will keep the stamps for themselves and thus will have the stamp and see the show too.”
Yell king Thompson is a dental student and a former yell leader at Pasadena junior college. He will be a member of the rally committee and have an ex-officio seat on the senate.
The rally will last from 12:45 to 1:30 Friday noon.
Foot stresses need for hope
America and England must never lose hope in their respective governments, or they will face the same fate as France is facing today,, stated the Rt. Hon. Isaac Foot, British statesman, who spoke at an all-U assembly Friday mornihg.
Mr. Foot is a former mayor of Plymouth, England, has been a member of the British parliament, a member of the round table conference on India, and is now a member of the privy council.
He expressed the hope that when the “bastille of Europe” is broken down, people will hardly be able to tell the flag of the United States from the flag of England.
Out of the conflict of the present World war Mr. Foot hopes that a “just and durable peace with cooperation between nations will ensue. If this is accomplished it will be the first time in the history of the world.”
“The war has done one thing for England,” said Mr. Foot. “It has destroyed the frustration and pacifism which existed there in the early months of 1939 before the war. The English people are united now in their cause and determined to achieve victory. A motto hung on the tower of St. Andrews church in Plymouth which was the only standing part of the building after the devastating blitz typifies feeling throughout the nation, ‘I shall rise again’.’*
Since the battle of’ Britain, London has risen as the “Mother City.” Before this other cities as Liverpool and Edinburgh had considered London merely as another city of no more importance than themselves, but after Londoners withstood the terrific blitz and continued to carry on their work unaffected they gained the respect of the whole isle.
Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science, will interpret “Agenda for a Postwar World” by Dr. John Cond-lippe, .tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 in Bowne hall, Philosophy building, in the sixth in the series of book interpretations.
While Dr. Harley will lay stress on the question “Whether collective security will necessitate a surrender of national soveignty,” he will also emphasize the economic and trade factors to effect prospects for world peace, under the headings: “A Revitalized League of Nations,” “World Federation,” “International Police Force,** “Minorities,” and “Relations of Re-Organization in the Postwar Era.**
Dr. Harley now holds the office of chairman of a commission to study the organization of peace in the Southern California region and is also president of the League of Nations association, Southern California branch. “Agenda for a Postwar World” is one of several books by Dr. Cond-lippe, who was professor of economics at the University of California at Berkeley. He is now directing economic studies for international peace.
In his book Dr. Condlipp* stresses economic and trade factors as affecting world politics, but the publication is broad enough to bring in the problems of political organization of nations within the framework ^>f which economic factors will operate, Dr. Harley believes.
Dr. Harley met Condlippe in Prague in 1938 while both were attending a conference held under the auspices of the International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation for the purpose of conference and study of teaching international relations. Dr. Harley was representing SC at the meeting and Dr. Cond-lippe was director of international research on general problems relating to economic factors and world trade for world peace.
“Condlippe emerged from the conference as one of the top-notch leaders in the field of economics and trade as related to international cooperation,” Harley stated.
First navymens dance success
Getting the jump on other halls, the personnel of Henderson hall gave the term’s first navy-sponsored dance at the Theta Xi fraternity house last Saturday evening for the enjoyment of several hundred servicemen and their dates.
While a full moon beamed on high, couples danced to the music of Oppie Gates and his NBC orchestra on the tennis court which was covered with nautical decorations.
Three-score signal flags spelled out various names with the word “navy” appearing on north side of the court. A huge wheel was situated on the south side and directly behind it were two long oars which supported yards and yards of net.
Cal Straub, battalion commander, expressed his satisfaction at the number of couples attending and declared that the party was a huge success. Bruce Gerry, who was in charge of decorations, obtained the properties from Paramount studios.
Special guests for the evening were Commander and Mrs. R. P. Baker.
