Grace Moore, Alec Templeton Melchior and Huberman On Forty-second Concert Series
Internationally known talent, unequalled in the 42 consecutive seasons of the University concert series has been obtained for this year, Dean D. M. Swarthout, manager, announced today.
"The opening concert on Nov. 6 will bring to Lawrence for the first time the world famous star of concert, opera, radio and screen, Grace Moore. Her triumph on the screen in "One Night of Love" has not been excelled by any other musical artist," Dean Swarthout said.
On Dec. 4, the famous and distinguished Polish violinist, Bronislaw Huberman, will make his initial bow to a Lawrence audience.
San Francisco Ballet to Return
A return engagement of the spectacular San Francisco Ballet, a company of 26 star dancers, is scheduled March 6 to replace the Philadelphia Opera company, which cancelled its tour.
Lauritz Melchior the Danish tenor and first tenor at the famous Metropolitan Opera in New York City will sing his first concert at the University on March 19.
Alec Templeton Will Play
Closing the series on April 9 the well-known concert pianist, radio star, and musical satirist, Alex Templegn will appear in a program of both classical and humorous music. "Everywhere, he has been playing to sold out houses and his appearance here will probably bring out one of the largest audiences of the season." Dean Swarthout said.
Because of the magnitude of the course and the popularity of the attractions listed, Dean Swarthout prophesies one of the heaviest sales of season tickets in many years. "Porry and Bess" Booked
In addition the concert series, the Gershwin opera, "Porgy and Bess," featuring a University graduate, Etta Moten, in the role of Bess, is scheduled Nov. 21. A company of 80 people with accompanying symphony orchestra are included in the cast.

U.S. Will Deny Russian Claims To Polish Area
Washington (INS)—Cordell Hull, secretary of state today assured four homeward bound congressmen that the United States would look out for the right of Poland after the war. In other words, Russia will not be permitted to annex Eastern Poland in turn for territory taken from Germany on the west without consent or approval of other Allied powers.
Washington sources disclosed that a long term agreement on the occupation of Germany between Great Britain, Russia and the United States appeared imminent. The Russian commissioner probably will control Eastern Germany, and American, the southern portion, and the British, the northern part. It is also thought that a joint commission representing each of the three nations will remain in permanent session at Berlin.
Grad Makes Life Mag
Latest KU. alum to see herself in Life magazine is Florence Brown, who was graduated in 1943 with a major in journalism. She is one of 18 women interviewed in today's issue in the Speaking of Pictures section. The women, all of whom live in Des Moines, were shown new-photographs of American doughboys being thoroughly kissed by French girls. They were asked for their opinion on it.
Under Miss Brown's picture was the inscription: Florence Brown, 22, Des Moines reporter, does not admit to having a boy friend in France; sides with the boys. "Some of these women must be pretty jealous to begrudge those fellows a few kisses after all they have gone through."
Mrs. Mabel McDoniel Ehl, who was appointed instructor in English at University High School resigned recently to accept a position at a junior college in Tennessee. As soon as Mrs. Ehl completes work for her master's degree she will leave for her new position. During the past school year she taught classes in English in the ASTP program.
Miss Brown has been with the Associated Press since her graduation. She came to the University from Sabetha. Her sister, Ruth Aileen, is a freshman this year.

Team Gets Send Off At Station
University students will give their football team an enthusiastic send off from Lawrence Saturday afternoon at a newly planned pep rally in the Union Pacific station. Don Cousins of the traditions committee of the All-Student Council, announced this morning.
"The University band will be out for the rally in full force," said Cousins, "and we are expecting the student body to do as well."
The station rally will open at 2:25, he said. The team's train is scheduled to leave at 2:40.
In announcing the new plans for a rally at the station, Cousins urged students not to forget the final rally in the Continental hotel in Kansas City at 6:15 p.m. just before the team leaves for Ruppert stadium to meet T.C.U.
Coach Henry Shenk, Elmer Schaake, and members of the team will speak to the student body at the rally.
Germans Now Offer Strong Resistance
Against resistance stronger than any previously encountered by Allied forces in the battle for Germany, British second army troops punched out gains up to two miles in depth today north of the Waal branch of the Rhine river.
In a battle to release advanced units of the Allied first airborne army and to prevent a flanking threat to Germany vaunted Siegfried line, Tommies battered wearying German defenses nine miles south of Arnhem as the beleaguered airborne troops received reenforcements from the air.
In the Pacific, Yank air and naval might returned to the Philippines in a daring carrier attack which destroyed 205 Jap planes, sank or badly damaged 40 Japanese ships and battered installations at Manilla Bay, Cavite navy base, Clark and Henderson fields, and Subic bay.
The blistering attack, carried out with loss of 15 American planes and without damage to a single American surface vessel so demoralized Jap defenses that a state of martial law was declared throughout the former U.S. possession.
Textbooks Needed At Book Exchange
In Italy, allied eight army troops were set to smash up the Po river valley and pour out upon the Lombard planes after capture of the important Adriatic port of Riniini, eastern anchor of the German Gothic line defenses.
At the beginning of the six-week term the book exchange sold books valued at $420.00 All profits from the exchange go toward the University scholarship fund.
Economic and American Government books are urgently needed by stuednts, according to Betty Leibbrand, manager of the WEC book exchange. Any student who has any of these books should bring them to the book exchange in the basement of hte Union building.

Coach Dutch Meyer still plans to fill the air with footballs, but the loss of Clyde Flowers, his all conference tackle of '43, will leave a big hole in the TCU forward wall. John Cook, freshman, has been selected to take Flower's place. Meyer is concerned over the fact that the Jayhawks will average 184 pounds to the Horned Frog's 179.
choice of calling the signals will probably fall to Charlie Moffett. Meyer Still Consider Pass
Shenk and Elmer Schaake, assistant coach, sent the team through another intra-squad scrinimage last night, and one more drill is slated for this evening. Much improvement has been noticed in the first team's performance against TCU plays; the Shenkmen really were tearing into tricky pass plays. Barrington and Wayne Hird, hefty K.U. line-backers, are covering the flat pass area with a fine degree of success. Shenk is delighted over the fact that Bergin, Miller, and Scha-
