“Brazil as a nation has over 3,000,-000 square miles of partially developed land. Its industry which
has l^een expanded again and again for the past decade is still open for new minds with new ideas,” he continued.

Seniors put out'kiss-off' issue Monday
Sarah Bernhardt made 29 farewell appearances before she finally up and died, but the senior editors of the Daily Trojan guarantee that the annual “kiss-off” issue of next Monday will be their only claim to farewell fame. It will be the last issue of the D.T. for the present semester.
The annual custom is observed to give seniors an opportunity to demonstrate the four years of training which they have had, and in addition is a chance to catch up the loose ends which nine months of editing have produced.
Copy which is intended to be in this semester’s papers must appear in Monday’s issue and therefore should be in the hands of the experienced Daily Trojan editors by 4 p.m. today.
There is no doubt that the response will be overwhelming.
The creative efforts of the journalists are guaranteed to be terrific, as the issue will be for many their final fling in the field of writing for some time to come. It’s the war, y'know!
Good, clean kid
Prexy Caldwell sticks to guns
Alpha Kappa Delta
. . . national sociology honorary, will hold its last meeting of the year Sunday, June 1, at the home of Dr. Emory Bogardus. Dr. Melvin Vincent, new president, will speak to the group. Dr. Bessie McClenahan is planning the tea.
by Nora Paredes
When Bill Caldwell entered Los Angeles High school some seven years ago, his main ambition was to make the varsity basketball team. How was he going to do it?
He really wasn’t an outstanding player. He wasn’t bad, but then again he wasn’t sensational. He was pretty good, and that’s as far as it went. Caldwell realized this but he still started to play on the last string. After two years of playing in which he had always been consistent but never outstanding, Caldwell finally made the team and became one of the most valuable players for the Blue and White.
Stick - to - it - iveness, ambition, stubbornness, call it what you will, the same quality that made him stay with basketball in high school characterizes the Caldwell who is the new student body prexy at Troy. •
A by-product of this stick-to-it-iveness is Caldwell’s great capacity for worry. His closest friends will tell you that Caldwell’s pale look comes from worrying so much. Kappa Alpha brothers remember the time when Caldwell had charge of red-rose boutonniers for the traditional Dixie ball.
He had been detained so he started to worry about being late. He was so worried that he forgot all about the roses until he was
almost at the dance. After going back for the roses Caldwell was still more worried because he was going to be later and in this worry frenzy got lost and really was late to the dance. Then he spent all evening worrying about having been late.
“You always know where you stand with Caldwell,” is what close and not-so-close friends agree on, and they attribute it to the prexy’s inherent sincerity and honesty that
BILL CALDWELL . . "ASSC chief.'
has been manifest in his every undertaking at Troy—first as advertising and then as business manager of the Daily Trojan.
After you talk to the people who know Caldwell you’re convinced that this BMOC must be a pretty good guy. When a person has to think 15 minutes before he can think of something about Caldwell that irritates him, you can be sure that Caldwell doesn’t have too many shortcomings. And when that person happens to be his roommate. . . well.
Despite all the worry he expends, it doesn’t take much to make Caldwell happy. He likes to read philosophy and Shakespeare. At this minute he is probably propped up in bed at the French hospital reading Edgar Allen Poe while he recovers from an appendectomy.
About the only thing that makes Caldwell unhappy right now is that he won’t be going on long walks for a few weeks. His K.A. brothers tell about what a good time he and Jim “Tommy Trojan” Humphries had last summer hitch-hiking up to Oregon.
After finding out so much about Caldwell we agree with the group of senior journalism majors who call him “a good clean kid,” which in their language is the nicest thing to be said for anyone.
Churchill FDR plan Jap drive
WASHINGTON, May 13-(U.P.) — President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill devoted full time today to planning what may be an autumn offensive against the Japanese as other officials gave substance to speculation that an invasion of Europe is near.
They conferred amid reports of triumphant news—the conquest of Africa and the first in the series of “unconditional” Axis surrenders they had mapped at Casablanca just five months ago.
The Tunisian victory opened the door to fulfillment of European invasion plans fashioned at Casablanca.
From the Roosevelt-Churchill talks the Axis can expect more bad news—perhaps soon in Europe and in the not-too-distant future in the Pacific.
So far as the European theater is concerned, the current meeting is designed primarily to put the finishing touches on previously drawn invasion plans. The main objective appears to be planning for the ultimate battle of Japan. Tha presence here of British and American military chieftains from tht far east offered support for thii theory.
The objective is believed to call for an autumn offensive through Burma to China so the latent power of the Chinese and the proximity of China to Japan may be utilized to the fullest for ft final crushing blow against Japan. Churchill himself will have an opportunity to give his views next Wednesday when he addresses a joint session of congress for the second time in 17 months. The last time was Dec. 26, 1941.
