British Expand Dutch Corridor News Blackout
(International News Service)
British second army units fighting to expand their Holland corridor punched forward southwest of Nijmegen and south of Oss in an advance, German sources claimed to be supported by new airborne armies. At the same time Allied forces in Northern Belgium surged ahead along to the southwest expanding their bridgehead across the Antwerp canal west of Allied-held Turnout.
Meanwhile, the Nazis were reported attempting to withdraw north and east through the 25-mile gap between Arnhem and the Zulider Zee to escape possible entrapment through Allied flanking movements and an all-out attack on the Siegfried line.
The news security dimout still held over action in the Belfort gap area where the U. S. third and seventh army were thought to be staging a major offensive action.
Russians Nearing Riga
On the Russian front Soviet forces were said to be in sight of Riga as four armies converged on the last major port in the Baltic. Soviet troops in the south crashed fourteen into Hungary to seize two towns, German reports said without confirmation from Russian sources.
Air power dominated the Pacific front as Allied planes swept the southwest Pacific area from the Philippines to the Solomons and surprise raids struck deep into Japanei Netherland Indies, and raided Batavia on Java. The savage neutralization assault against Jap air bases in the northern Celebes, the Moluctas and the Halmahera continued.

Rain Falls, Hair Droops,
--- Blame the Weatherman
The damp weather also affects the n students. Most of them come class looking more like a tramp n a tramp does and cursing their inmate for taking the community icoat.
If you can't see the face of your vorite K.U. coed these days, under at falling pompade, just blame on the weather man and his rain, e should be able to do better than is without even trying.
'Won't Rain For Rally'
--- Conard
A week ago, 160 students had signified to Joe Lee Abbitt, head of the student drive, that they would register. Thirty-one of them showed up last Friday at the hospital when K.U. students were supposed to register. Since then some of them have phoned in their names, but there are at least 100 more needed, Dr. Canuteson said. Last year 200 students registered for the Blood Bank.
Others who attempt to curl their skins without artificial coulds could for Veronica Lake if it aren't for the fact that both eyes covered and they are practically blind. And then there are use with naturally curly hair—all, you can't have everything! les Are Tramps
omen Fly Blind
There is a desperate need for more student and faculty to register to give blood in the Autumn Blood Bank drive, reported Dr. Ralph I. Canuteon, director of Watkins Memorial hospital.
Blood Donors Needed Badly
With the stiff competition for the w and far-between men on the mpus, a girl must look her best all times but how can she expect look glamorous with rain-droopy ir? Some of the more fortunate is she blessed with a permanent an resembles a delapidated hay-k in wet weather.
To make an appointment, call the Red Cross office at 640 today or tomorrow.
Five hundred and four names must be signed up by Saturday noon for the mobile unit which is planning to be in Lawrence Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. At noon today, the total registration was 263.
"In case of rain the parade and pep rally planned for this evening will be just a pep rally," said Jim Conard, head cheerleader, this morning. "But it won't rain."
Conard reminded students that the parade to send the Jayhawk football team on its victorious way to Denver will start at 6:30 in front of the community building. The pep rally at the Union Pacific station is scheduled for 6:50. Students who can not march or ride in the parade are urged to be at the rally.
The parade will be lead by the University band and the Jay Janes, said Conard, and should constitute the best display of school spirit yet this season.
When rain begins in the wee hours and is still drizzling the next morning, many students can not force themselves to spring enthusiastically out of bed for that 8:30 class. So they struggle with the call girl or boy, throw the alarm clock at the wall, and spend a rainy morning under the covers, worrying about how much K.U. professors deduct for cuts.
Scenes on the campus during a rain are never to be forgotten. A few energetic students run frantically with books balanced precariously on their heads. Others just resign themselves, pretend to ignore the precipitation and keep up an animated conversation while water streams down their faces and skirts shrink from three to five inches. And then there are those who wear raincoats—oh well, there's one in every crowd!
Many Stay In Bed
In conclusion, there is an appropriate but well-worn and age-old saying in this part of the country, "If you don't like Kansas weather, just wait a minute!"
Guest of University
Dr. Isidro Lemus Dimas, professor of law at the University of Guatemala, will spend three weeks, Oct. 2 to 20, at the University of Kansas as a visiting lecturer, and consultant. Dr. Lemus comes to the University of Kansas through the courtesy of the Division of Inter-American Educational Relations of the United States Office of Education.
He will speak to classes, will give some public talks and will have headquarters in the department of romance languages where he will be available as a consultant to anyone who is interested in Latin American affairs. His special interests are in the fields of Central American law and anthropology. Dr. Lemus has taught sociology as well as law.
Churchill Says Nazis Lose Million Men
London—INS-Prime Minister Winston Churchill told the House of Commons today that warfare in the last seven weeks has changed the whole face of the conflict in Europe. He announced that German losses alone have practically equaled total casualties of Allied armies in the liberation of France, Belgium, and Holland.
The Allies, Churchill said, lost about 235,000 men, killed, wounded, or missing, of which U.S. casualties represented 145,000. German losses totaled 400,000 killed and 500,000 captured, with no estimate made of the number of wounded and missing.
Malott Gets Up in Air By Taking Lessons In Flying at Airport
When Chancellor Deane W. Malott states that he's up in the air, it may not be just a figure of speech. Taking his n. lesson yesterday morning, the Chancellor was up 30 minutes, and according to Flight Instructor Charles McMillan at the Municipal airport, he did a pretty nice job.
The Allies now have between two and three million men in France, the British prime minister revealed.
Iowa State College was honored last week with a parade put on by the Naval Training Schools there.
Bad weather and a busy day changed Malott's plans for a second lesson this morning. He is a veteran air passenger and has flown many hours of transportation in army bombers in connection with his duties as educational advisor for the army air corps.
It's a Girl, Flints Told
A granddaughter, the first girl in two generations of his family, had the approximate effect of two strong Missouri cokes, on L. N. Flint, professor of journalism. Until yesterday Professor Flint was the father of three boys and the grandfather of three boys.
Then a wire to Mr. and Mrs. Flint came from Lt. George M. Flint in Florida saying that his wife in Pontiac, Mich., had just given birth to a girl.
The professor was beside himself with joy. He was, in fact, so overcome that he offered to help his wife with the dishes. His mind was not, however, on the job. While expounding on his unseen, yet undoubtedly beautiful granddaughter, he reached around and scalded the dishes with coffee.
24 Graduated In Labor Class
Twenty-four members of the labor relations class sponsored twelve weeks by the extension division on the University of Kansas hospitals campus in Kansas City, Kan., were presented certificates last night at a graduation dinner at the Adversitting Club in Kansas City, Mo.

Stockton, dean of the School of Business Educational, and Roy W. Browning, field representative, who presented the certificates. Mrs. Lura M. Wilson presided.
