LONDON, Oct. 25—(U.E) — Heavy RAF bombers skimmed the peaks of the Alps and blasted northern Italy for the fourth time in 48 hours last night, concentrating on the industrial city of Milan, site of the huge Caproni bomt>er plant, and the Italians announced officially that “great damage” has been done and 589 persons were killed or wounded in the four raids.
It is the worst battering Italy has taken throughout the war and coincides with widespread reports of collapsing Italian morale and the launching of the allied offensive in Egypt. Axis armies in north Africa get many of their supplies from the Italian ports of Genoa and Savona, and from the industries of Turin, Milan, Monza and Novara, all of which have been hit hard in three successive night raids and one intervening attack.
VICHY ADMITS RAIL BLASTS (Vichy announced that RAF bombers atatcked south French railways at several points on their way to and from Italy Saturday afternoon. The purpose might have been to disrupt traffic on railways leading to Marseile and Nice, so the Germans could not use them for shipping supplies to Africa.)
Bomber crews attacked several other northern Italian industrial cities, including Monza and Novara last night.
RAID SMASHES GENOA
The first of the big raids Thursday night, smashed Italy's chief port of Genoa. Friday night the RAF heavily raided Genoa again and dropped tons of explosives and incendiaries on the manufacturing city of Turin and the port of Savona. almost at the exact hour that the allied army in Egypt launched its offensive.
Saturday the RAF sent an esti- j mated 50 bombers across France for the daylight raid on Milan and Saturday night a stronger force returned to smash the city again.
Bomber crews reported direct hits on important factories at Milan and important damage in other cities.
Wesley League

Good Chance
nounced tonight.
Despite mounting losses, however, the Japs succeeded in landing more reinforcements on the northwest end of the island today, the communique said. The strength of the new force was not known.
The land assaults were the heaviest yet described by the navy department in the current Jap drive to recapture their lost airport on Guadalcanal and marked the first time they had used tanks.
“Our army and marine corps troops and artillery batteries repulsed each attack and destroyed five enemy tanks,’’ the announcement said.
FOUR ATTACKS ON FRIDAY
Four of the ground attacks occurred Friday night and the communique said it was broken up by U.S. aircraft and artillery. One American plane was lost in the operation.
The U.S. air attacks in which the Japs ships were damaged extended from Thursday night until today.
On Thursday night U.S. long-range aircraft attacked enemy ships in the Shortland island area northwest of Guadalcanal, damaging a light cruiser with one direct and one probable torpedo hit and* a destroyer with a bomb hit. A heavy cruiser or battleship possibly was damaged by a torpedo hit. i U.S. HITS CRUISERS
On Saturday night U.S. aircraft attacked an enemy surface force of several cruisers and destroyers about 300 miles northeast of Guadalcanal. One cruiser was reported probably damaged by a torpedo.
The fifth enemy vessel, a cruiser, was damaged by bombs today when Douglas 'Dauntless' dive bombers from Guadalcanal made three attacks on an enemy force of cruisers and destroyers immediately north of Florida island. The attack forced the enemy vessels to withdraw.
The bag of 21 enemy aircraft came late Friday morning when 16 enemy bombers escorted by 20 Zero fighters attacked the American airport on Guadalcanal. Grumman Wildcat’ fighters intercepted them and shot down one of the bombers, damaged three others and destroyed the entire fighter squadron. HEAVIEST TOLL YET It was one of the heaviest tolls ever taken by the American forces in a single action in the Solomons. No mention was made of American losses, if any.
The new Jap losses brought to at least 51 the number of their ships damaged in the Solomons, in addition to 10 known to have been sunk and three probably sunk. They have lost at least 374 airplanes.
The intensified land, sea, and air action served notice that the supreme test was not far off for the army, navy, and marine forces fighting in the Solomons, as well as for their new commander, Vice Admiral William F. Halsey Jr., who yesterday was named to succeed Vice Admiral Robert L. Ghormley as chief of the Solomons campaign.

Allied Bombers Hit Hong Kong
TOKYO. Oct. 26 — (Japanese broadcast recorded by United Press in San Francisco) — Eight allied bombers blasted Hong Kong from a high altitude Sunday afternoon, dropping “several” incendiary bombs in the first air raid on the former British crown colony since its occupation by the Japanese, the Tokyo radio announced today.
A Japanese broadcast said Jap fighters repulsed the raiders.
“The Japanese planes immediately shot down one enemy plane,” the Tokyo radio said, “and saw another falling in a trail of black smoke.”
CAIRO, Oct. 25—(U.P.)—Allied desert troops hurled back the first enemy counter-attacks in the new battle for North Africa today and pressed on through the barbed wire and mine fields of the El Alamein line while U.S.. British, and South African planes routed the nazis from the sky and British submarines reported torpedoing 12 more ships in the Mediterranean.
Allied tanks have poured in strength through one gap in the mine fields, according to a dispatch from a United Press correspondent.

Students Probe Co-op Housing
Co-op housing plans will be oyg-inated today when two SC students, Raymond Barrio and Christine Hanks, meet with Helen H. Moreland. dean of women, and Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men.
Barrio, sophomore, was part of a successful co-op housing plan in New York City college where he enrolled before coming to SC. He is trying to get the students of SC interested in this housing.
“We cannot go ahead with any definite plans until we find that there is some interest by the student body for co-op housing” said Dean Bacon.
Several colleges in the United States have tried this plan of providing inexpensive living accomodations and found it to prove vefy successful. They eliminated a lot of extra expenses by not hiring outside help except cooks. Co-op housing w’as found to be the answer to the tire situation and to the gas rationing problem, according to supporters of the system.
If the boys continue to be drafted even the fraternities will be faced with a problem of keeping up their houses. They may have to go into co-op housing to the extent of doing most of their work and cutting down their expenses.
Dean Bacon remarked that “Any students who are interested in this plan, should come into my office and sign up.”

The annual week's drive will culminate with Friday’s all-U chest assembly in Bovard auditorium. HOME NEEDY AIDED “With so many happenings going on around the world, it is quite possible that we might forget those that are needy here back at home. Therefore it is more important than even that we all contribute this year." voiced Bud Townsend, community chest campaign manager.
A community chest hut which will be erected in front of Administration building, will serve as a focal point for the collections of student contributions to the drive. LA^EL PINS ISSUED Representatives from all university organizations will take part in the distribution of community chest lapel pins to all loyal Trojans who contribute to this worthwhile cause.

Earlier reports said that the three fortress attacks, the first of which accounted for 10 ^hips on Friday, might have interrupted a new Japanese attempt to send reinforcements : against U.S. army and marine forces battling on Guadalcanal, 640 miles southeast of Rabaul.
The mid-day communique from Gen. Douglas MacArthui s headquarters said the latest attack, staged in the pre-dawn darkness of yesterday, resulted in the definite sinking of the gunboat and the , probable sinking of three cargo J ships totaling 12.000 tons.
The communique said the gunboat i was seen to sink after a direct j bomb-hit. The three cargo ships . were left listing or badly afire “and j all are believed to have been de- ] stroyed.”
In addition, great fires and explosions were touched off among Rabaul’s wharves and fuel barges anchored in the harbor.

The Russians occupied the corpse-choked trenches where the Germans evidently had dug in to spend the winter on the steppes that soon will be swept by blizzards.
STREET AND HOUSE BATTLE
Inside the city the defenders are “stubbornly defending every street and every house,” the communique said. The unit which beat off five attacks knocked out four | tanks and killed 260 Nazis. Another unit of Soviet mortarmen knocked out three tanks and killed up to 400 Nazis.
German attacks in the Mozdok area of the Caucasus subsided. The communique said that due to heavy losses sustained there the past few days “the enemy showed no activity.” Soviet pilots shot down three German planes and destroyed four armored cars and 12 trucks there.
Southeast of Novorossisk. on the Black sea, axis forces drove a wedge into a sector held by Russian marines, but they were thrown back in a counter-attack by Russian seamen. The communique said two companies of Rumanian infantry were wiped out.

history has no meaning beyond objects and events which attract the senses and challenge the mind to the calculation of quantities,” Dr.
Relsel explained.
According to this point of view he told that war constitutes the legitimate arbitrament of strife, a material balance of trade assigns to nations their rank within the scale of dominion, and that all values are reduced to the. material coin of the relam.
FREEDOM BASED ON VALUES
There is another view, one of permanent things which characterize the unseen world, and democracy has at its base these permanent qualities, Dr. Helsel believes.
“Democracies of tomorrow can rely in principle upon the nature of the cosmos in relation to the nature of man. Man’s freedom and integrity are not contingent upon events and circumstances, but upon attitudes, forms of good will, convictions, and spiritual qualities. And these qualities historic events do not eradicate,” declares Dr. Helsel.
