Lindley Retreat Thursday to Be Last for ASTRP
The flag at Lindley hall will be lowered for the last time at the final retreat ceremony at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, to bring to a close at the Army Specialized Training Reserve Program here. All activities in Lindley will be discontinued Oct. 31, at which time it will be turned back by the government to the University.
"It is very regrettable that the exigencies of the service are such that the Army Specialized Program (other than medical trainees) is scheduled for discontinuation Oct. 28, 1944," said Col. W. L. McMorris, commandant. "The Seventh Service Command has expressed appreciation to Chancellor Malott for the splendid cooperation given the Army by the University of Kansas in the conduct of the Army Specialized Training Programs which have functioned from August, 1943, to date." he added.
Col. McMorris also expressed his thanks to the Chancellor, his executive assistant, the dean of the college, heads of all academic departments, the physical education staff, the medical director and AST coordinator, for their effective support of the program during the past fifteen months.
The ASTRP students in term 3 are being transferred to Texas A. and M. College, Texas. Those completing term 1 will go to the University of Wyoming at Laramie, Wyoming. All activities for reservists and premedicine trainees will terminate at noon, Saturday, October 28. Short furloughs will be granted before the trainees report for duty elsewhere.
The remaining army medical students in the program will be on subsistence effective November 1.

Allen Answers Fraud Doubters With Evidence
"Phog" Allen was busy today answering coaches and sports writers of the nation who are belittling his charges of gambling and "fixing" in the big intercollegiate games. In reply to Lawton Carver, sports editor for International News Service in New York who let off a nationwide bit of sarcasm to the effect that gambling is like the weather, "everybody knows about it, but nobody does anything about it" and who also claimed that Allen had backed down on his charges, Dr. Allen sent this telegram.
"Your statement that I have back_ ed down is untrue. I stated that certain eastern writers have minimized the gambling hazard, and your story prompts me to believe that you are one of them. As far as my getting out of the game I am in is concerned, I suggest you apply the same yardtick to yourself in your profession. What could you know of how much basketball has given me?"

Fighting against the background of the famous Masurian lakes where Hindenberg and Ludendorf won the battle of Tannenberg in 1914, the Russian third army today had spread-eagled the vital Koenigensburg-Kovno railroad, thereby holding the gateway line from the east into Germany.
In the deepest penetration into Reich territory, the Russian salient extended 35 miles into East Prussia to the Angerapp river, as Red forces continued to threaten the railway junction to Insterberg, capture of which would be a heavy blow to German defenses. Other Red advances were reported in Lithuania, Northern Transylvania, Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
On the western front, the English second army smashed into the outskirts of the Dutch city of Hertgenbosch in a mounting drive to crush Nazi forces in Western Holland, and free the waterway to the vital inland port of Antwerp.
American forces on Leyte island, in the Philippines, made steady progress all along the rapidly expanding front as main action flared in the Tacloban-Palo area. Japanese counter attacks were repulsed in a series of bloody fights that failed to halt American advances, which carried to the approaches of the villages of San Pablo.
All Quiet on Western Front Except the rest of the western front remained comparatively quiet but German war plants and installations rocked under a 1,000-plane bombing attack.
British eighth army moved ahead through the marshy lowlands near Cervia in the Adriatic sector.
Speed Limit Is Raised
Speed came to the campus in greater amounts last week as a result of removal of the 15-mile limit signs. The signs were put up at the request of the military authorities who sought protection for marching men—mainly the machinists' and electricians' mates.

Dawdy Clears Status Of 4-F's for Aid
Four-F classification in itself does not constitute eligibility to state aid for the vocationally incapacitated, H. M. Dawdy, director of the division of vocational rehabilitation of the board of vocational education, wired Prof. Leonard H. Axe, director of veterans service in correcting a report that all 4-F men are eligible to state aid.
State aid is given to those proven vocacially incapacitated, regardless of sex, but emphasis is on the physical condition which renders the person incapable of vocational work.
"The division can under no circumstances make refunds to students who have enrolled in an institution without the knowledge of the division," said Mr. Dawdy. "It is necessary to establish financial need in each case prior to the granting of assistance," he said.
