Captain Spends Real Dream Week In (And On) Swanky New York Hotel
New York. (UP)—Capt. Frank turned into reality a dream that Custogne, and the march across and his daughter, Susan, arrived a week the way he had dreamed it was all "on the house."
It all began in the bitter cold of Christmas at Bastogne, when the captain began to make a list of what he wanted when he returned to the US. The list grew all the way across Germany. Finally, a few weeks ago in Heidelberg, Germany, Lillyman wrote a letter to the Hotel Pennsylvania. It said in part:
"I have written down, during the last two years, the things I want when I return to the States. I have a wife (Jane) and a 3-year-old daughter (Susan). When I arrive home I desire to stay at a hotel for approximately seven days. I desire a suite that will face east so the sun will wake me in the morning
"I do not desire to know in advance what dishes will be served, but I do not want a dish repeated. I desire my breakfasts in the suite, with suitable menu for my daughter, noon meal likewise, but the evening meal available either in your dining room or in my suite.
"Each morning, when breakfast is served in the suite, a fresh appropriate bouquet of flowers (Jane loves Talisman roses) to be delivered to my wife. Each morning, when breakfast is served, a new doll or suitable toy to be delivered to my daughter Susan."
Also on the captain's request list were a one-way telephone, a mother-ly maid in black dress, and white cap and apron for Susan, a radio, a record player, Strauss records (especially "Tales of the Vienna Woods," and a list of food.
Lidyman, who holds 12 decorations including the Distinguished Service cross and the Purple Heart with two clusters, concluded his letter:
"I am afraid my desires are a bit far-fetched, but there they are and once again I'll ask three questions.
"Can you do it?"
stions.
"Can you do it?"
"How much will it cost? (I'm a captain, not a general.)
"How much advance notice will you require? (Guarantee to wire you the day I hit the States.)"
The Hotel Pennsylvania management cabled,"Meet all demands. All on the house."

U.S. Not Isolated, Brandt Tells Students
The United States is no longer isolated—the whole world is its concern—Bert Brandt, K.U.'s ace war photographer told an open meeting of the Press club yesterday afternoon.
"With the V-1 and V-2 bombs known to be so powerful and the probability that the rest of the world will soon know the atom bomb secret, the United States must know what is happening to the world," Mr. Brandt added.
Mr. Brandt, '39, was the first photographer to land on the Normandy beachhead. He covered campaigns through Italy, France and Germany, until his return to the United States last January.

Werner Conducts Book Shop Survey
A survey of student book stores in in state schools of the central states is being made by Henry Werner dean of student affairs to help in planning such a project here, he said today.
Dean Werner has sent questionnaires to 18 state schools throughout the Middle West asking if they had book stores similar to the one being planned here and if so, how long have they operated them, how much the store saves for students. Of the schools contacted, 13 replied that they have such book stores, two that they have none, and three have not answered.
The survey started four weeks ago reveals that one school has operated a co-operative book store for 70 years, nine for more than 20 years, and three for at least five years. All are university operated.
The volume of business for 1944-45 according to reports, ranges from 15 thousand to 40 thousand dollars, and savings to students ranges from 8 to 15 per cent. These savings are passed on to students by price reductions in seven of the stores and by rebate in five, the other school failed to state how savings were made.
