Stalingrad Will Fall' - Hitler
BERLIN, Sept. 30—(German broadcast recorded by U.P. in New York)—Adolf Hitler promised the German people tonight that Stalingrad will fall and outlined a three-point program for winning the bulk of Russia’s natural resources and converting them to the uses of the reich.
Addressing the National Socialist Party in a mass meeting at the Sportspalast, Hitler said Germany’s three main goals for 1942 were:
1.	Securing the German position in the Black Sea region through settlement of the Crimea.
2.	The break-through to the Don, the focal operation of the offensive in South Russia on which the German army concentrated during the summer.
3.	The seizure of Russia’s “last great wheat regions, the last of the coal that can be made into coke, and Soviet oil.”
Hitler derided the prospect of a second front on the continent, but by inference acknowledged that his strategists were preparing for any that might be opened.
Briefly sketching Germany’s three years of war and declaring himself to be satisfied with the results, Hitler
asserted!	(Continued on Page Four)

Reserves Explained to Men; Women to Discuss War Jobs
"Just how can I clear up all the confusion, rumor, and misunderstanding that has arisen in my mind concerning the various war service reserve programs?”
That question, constantly asked by Trojan
men atudefats these days, has been I answered by the announcement of Dr. Albert Sydney Raubenheimer, I dean of the College of Letters, Arts,
and Sciences, that a special compulsory assembly for SC men will be held in Bovard auditorium at j 10 a.m. Tuesday. Officers of the \ army, navy, coast guard, and marine corps will be on hand to outline the complete details of the reserve program and answer all questions the students may wish to ask.
Speeding Law Starts Today
SACRAMENTO. Sept. SO—<C.E>— Gov. Culbert Olson tonight signed a proclamation ordering a 35-mUe an hour speed limit in California which state highway patrolmen will start enforcing tomorrow.
DISCUSSIONS FOLLOW
On Tuesday afternoon and all I day Wednesday, the officers will be available for special consulta-: tion ln rooms 320. 321. and 322, 1 Student Union. N o enlistments, however, will be taken during that I time.
In a statement accompanying the proclamation, Olson criticised Attorney General Earl Warren, his opponent for re-election, for doubting enforcement of the 35-mile limit was possible. The governor said full authority was given in an emergency order of Joseph B. East-
Representatives from the army air corps, navy, naval aviation, and marine corps (the coast guard will be discussed by the naval representative) will each speak 15 minutes, and a general discussion lasting until noon will follow.
CLASSES CANCELED
All classes In all divisions of the university between 9:50 a.m. and noon will be canceled Tuesday.

Journalists Initiate Two
man, director of defense transepor-arm*’! tation.
Director of Motor Vehicles James M. Carter said that warnings would be issued to the majority of violators of the 35-mile limit, but that patrolmen would make arrests wherever they believed they could make a case for illegal speed in light of driving conditions, including car and tire conditions.
Copies of warnings and citations will be given tire and gasoline rationing boards. Evidence of driving over 35 miles an hour has been considered grounds for turning down applicants for tires.
Stressing the necessity and obligation of specializing in work which will meet the demands of a wartime nation, the administration has canceled Tuesday morning classes from 10 a.m. to noon so that Trojan women
may attend the compulsory assemblies.	«
The junior and senior women * assembly program, from 10 to 11
a.m. in Porter Hall, third floor of the Law building, will accentuate the need for specialization in the fields in which upperclasswomen now are training. In the freshmen and sophomore women’s assembly, 11 to noon, same room, a general outline of the present work best suited for women will be presented to aid those who have not chosen their courses. Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English, will defend the present liberal arts training vs. specializing in the second assembly. ...
After their meeting the Juniors and seniors will convene in separate rooms to discuss the when, where, and how of job prospects for their individual fields with faculty women familiar with the different occupations.
“All of us, even freshmen, will graduate into a wartime world” so we should prepare ourselves to fit into specific lines relative to the war economy, stated Barbara Symmes, president of the associated women students. A mere cultural course will not prepare one for a war Job. Positions are limited to certain vital industries.

Nazi Divisions Creep Forward Near Red City
Russians Stun Foe at Black Sea Coast, Communique Reveals
MOSCOW, Thursday, Oct. 1 —(UP)—German troops, bolstered by a fresh tank division, have edged ahead in the northwest of Stalingrad industrial area, but the Russians have struck two stunning blows down in the Caucuses, slaughtering 8,000 Rumanians along the Black Sea
coast and 1500 Germans near Moz-dok, the high command revealed today.
Four German divisions, two infantry and two armored, are now penetrating the northwestern fringe of the city. Although they made slight progress Wednesday for the first time in three days, the nazis guarding the remote left flank of the German line surrendered another hill to » Russian army driving down from the Don river valley to Stalingrad’s relief.

For three days the Germans have been storming a hill dominating the Industrial district and the workers’ settlement in the northwest part of the city. Heretofore nazi tommy gunners, supported by a few tanks, have borne the brunt of the offensive there, scrambling over the debris of houses in desperate attempts to break through to the Soviet rear. Now, the communique revealed, a battering ram of tanks and armored cars is spearheading the attack.
Fifteen German tanks were knocked out in that sector yesterday, the communique said.

Inflation Bill OK-ed by Senate
Roosevelt Ordered to Stabilize Wages, Prices by Nov. 1
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30— (UP) — The senate tonight passed an anti-inflation bill containing concessions to the farm bloc and directing President Roosevelt to issued by Nov. 1 an order stabilizing prices, wages and salaries at Sept. 15 levels.
The roll call vote was unanimous, 82 to 0.
The measure now goes to tho house, which a week ago today approved a far different bill—one which administration leaders said would be unacceptable to Roosevelt
HOPE FADES
There seemed no hope that final legislation would reach the white house tomorrow — the deadline set by the president in his you-do-it-or-I-will ultimatum of Sept. 7— since differences between the house and senate bills now must be ironed out.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn already has indicated action will be delayed until Oct. 2. but leaders have been advised privately by the president that his deadline has been extended.
OUTCOME UNCERTAIN
Even if the senate version should be sent to the white house there is no assurance that Roosevelt will accept it. He has demanded “adequate” legislation, and whether the final bill fits that definition is for him to decide. If it doesn't, he probably would veto the measure and invoke his authority under the second war powers act to curb rising living costs.
Senate action climaxed a bitter eight-day battle over farm price provisions. Administration and farm bloc leaders finally composed their differences today with a compromise amendment granting the farm group less than it originally demanded but more than Roosevelt outlined in his Sept. 7 demands.
The administration blocked a re* writing of the farm parity price formula—a change which Roosevelt “unalterably opposed.”

Editorial
Now Pettengill Knows Where to Buy Food
"Now I know where to buy my groceries,” remarked Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, associate professor of economics, who has just comp - ted a study of comparative retail grocery ceiling prices in Los Angeles. His article will be published in the Journal of Marketing.
Beans, crackers, lard, tomato soup, and sugar were among the 206 common foods studied by the economist who analyzed their difference in prices in seven stores located within one
mile of the university.
Troy's Good Clean Kids' Lauded
Students of this university should feel mighty proud of a letter received from the Los Angeles department of sanitation. We have been complimented for civic service, and it is no more than appropriate that the letter be reprinted in text. The city’s citation read as follows:
“Students of the University of Southern California are doing a great service to the sanitary department by collecting all types of garbage. This department has never been so pleased with the results it is getting in the vicinity of University park, and we hope your work keeps up. There are, however, several suggestions this department would like to make.
“First, try your level best to dump everything on the parkway in front of Hall and Stump’s retail store. We understand that no ash cans are available, but our pickup crew has been notified to leave a few rakes on hand for your convenience. It’s really swell of. you kids to be doing this, and wi mean it.
“Another thought that has come to this office concerns moist garbage, otherwise i known as the solid residue to be found in
three-day old lunch bags commonly thrown into bushes or hedges bordering the Administration building. Keep up the good work, and don’t worry about our not being able to locate the stuff. Our men say they can smell it a mile. Out at UCLA their system doesn’t compare with yours. Their garbage has to be picked up from a dozen or so cans, located in nerve centers, and it makes our work too easy.
“The situation at SC was first brought to our attention when collectors began making special trips to your institution, asserting that they had never seen so much paper and truck in one area in their lives. This office was terribly thrilled and promptly sent an emergency squad to verify the report. It has been corroborated. Dirt and dirty conditions are the life blood of this office and we’ve never before known such ardent supporters of a civic enterprise. The director only yesterday asserted that if this tendency toward an all-out refuse melting pot keeps up for another month, the Trojan university will be awarded a plaque for outstanding work in keeping the city filthy.” Sincerely, Ash Conn,
Asst. Directr.
Mentioning the stores as “A ", “B”, “C” and so forth, he brought out the fact that the groceries with the best employer-employee relations invariably charged less for their their products than the others.
There are enough unthrifty shoppers, commented the professor, to enable rival grocery stores located in the same block to charge dif-
ferent prices for the same article of
“I bought some canned salmon at one place during the study'♦.nd I’m sure the salesman charged me more than the ceiling price,” he said.
In each grocery store more than $30 worth of commodities were evaluated. Some retailers would give thrifty customers more than one dollar’s worth of additional foodstuffs for that price than others.
Dr. Pettengill plans to include in his study, before he sends it in for publication, a comparison of the actual price of groceries with the ceiling price. Assisting him in compiling data for the article are Marvin Dudly and George Dell, students, and Nien Min Sun who compiled information of the subject for him last summer.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—<UJ?)— The navy disclosed tonight that the 8378-ton naval transport George F. Elliott, formerly the liner City of Los Angeles, and the transport Gregory, a ’ small auxiliary, have been lost in the battle of the Solomon islands but with few casualties. . ... ^
The George F. Elliott was abandoned and destroyed after a Japanese torpedo plane crashed into her and set her afire, the navy communique said. The Gregory was sunk by enemy gunfire and her skipper, Lieut.-Comdr. Harry Frederick Bauer of Chattanooga. Tenn., was reported missing.
The Oeorge F. Elliott was torn asunder and set afire in Guadalcanal harbor on Aug. 8, the second day after the American invasion of the Solomons—when 40 or more Japanese torpedo planes blasted the area.
The navy said that most of the personnel of the two ships—the sixth and seventh American vessels lost in the Solomons—had been rescued.
The Elliott's skiper. Capt. Watson I Osgood Bailey of Lynn, Mass., was said to be safe.
The navy previously had disclosed that one destroyer and an unloaded transport, presumably the Elliott, were hit in the Aug. 8 raid.
Anti-aircraft batteries, American fighter planes and shore batteries destroyed 14 of the attacking planes.
USO Needs Volunteers
Forty girls are needed for USO
work at the naval reserve armory
to entertain naval officer candidates Saturday from 7:30 to 12 p.m.
Girls interested should sign up some time today at the YWCA house.
The Trojan newsreel, prepare® by the cinema department and presented to the student body at regular intervals *ing the school year, will not be produced for the duration of the war.
Because of the many new government restrictions on raw film and the extreme difficulty in obtaining needed war priorities, coupled with the fact that many of the department’s trained technical students are now in the U.S. army signal corps, the ambitious program so carefully planned by Herb Farmer, instructor ln cinematography, and original producer of the newsreel, had to be abandoned.
In previous years, the newsreel was shown approximately once a month in Bovard auditorium, and contained complete film coverage of all important university functions, school dances, football rallies, and major athletic events. It was regarded as a novel and interesting way of portraying school life on the campus. It also served as a record for the university administration and was often used for reference concerning social event*.
