42ND YEAR
Rome—(INS)—Amid his undeeded cries of "I am innocent," Pietro Caruso, former Fascist police chief of Rome went on trial for his life today.
Soviet troops in great strength moved on the Estonia capital Pallinn with what a front-line correspondent termed the force of an avalanche, while Polish paratroop commandos were dropped by plane into Warsaw.
Yank Paratroops Regulars Gain Important Bridge
Further junction with the paratroops at Arnhem would enable the 'Allies to flank the northernmost anchor of the Siegfried line and imperil the whole German defense system on the Rhine river in a drive to Berlin.
Inside Germany, meanwhile, a reign of terror stalks the land as Heinrich Himler's gestapo troops launched a program of terrorization which Hitler long ago threatened would come as his own doom approached.
(International News Service)
There was every indication that Poland's capital soon may join the ever growing list of European cities liberated from Nazi domination.
Rome Police Chief's Trial Begins
Born in 1870 Claude gained early renown as a physicist and scientist, and engineer and has been a member of the French Academy of Science since 1924. He is the author of numerous text books dealing with liquidification of air, research into rare gases in the atmosphere, and utilization of therm energy of the ocean.
It also appeared certain that early release for other Allied paratroops holding difficult positions against determined enemy attacks about nine miles north near Arnhem, could be effected soon. German reports said the Allied Arnhem forces had been wiped out and claimed capture of 2,700 Allied troops including the divisional commander.
Isolated paratroops of the U.S. first airborne army were joined with American and British troops north of Nijmegen, in Holland today after 24 hours of the most vicious fighting since the beginning of the battle for Germany.
The Allied campaign to roll up German forces remaining in Holland appeared sure of success with the junction of the ground and airborne forces and the capture intact of a vital concrete bridge across the Waal branch of the Rhine river.
Paris INS—Georges Claude,
French scientist and industrialist
has been arrested at Nancy on charges of having invented the German used robot and permitting manufacture in quantities for the Nazis,
French officials announced today.

Claude was alleged to have worked against the-republic before the war and to have placed all of his enterprises at the disposal of the Nazis during occupation.
Yank forces of Peleliu island in Palau group pressed forward as the Anjaw- island campaign was reported to have been completed in three days. Jap losses in Peleliu were set at 7,645 dead.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1944
Nazi Secret Weapons Ready
Washington—(INS)—German propaganda minister, Paul Goebels, today announced that the new Nazi secret weapon, the V-2, is now ready for action and can be expected to be put into use any moment. The new missile, thought to be a rocket device, may yet give the British a few uncomfortable weeks, the Monday Evening Standard reported.
China Faces Military Debacle
Washington — INS — Washington studied reports of a dangerous military and political situation in China in relaxation of censorship permitting American news men to cable stories of "corruption, inefficiency, repression and militantitude."
Donald M. Nelson, formerly with the OPA, was sent to China recently to investigate the economic situation. President Roosevelt deemed the situation so important that he took Nelson from one of the country's most important wartime offices
Indications that Allied forces face a military debacle in the far eastern republic, bore out recent reports of inefficiency and inflation in China.
Vice-President Wallace too, studied the situation in China while he was there, but no published report concerning the exact situation was made public.
Campus T.B. Survey Will End at 8 Tonight
A total of 522 crowded the halls during the day, bringing the total number for the three days up to 1103. "Because the first two days response had been so slow, 22 organized houses were called to remind the girls of the survey." Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, hospital director, said today.
Working on an average of 85 persons an hour, the annual tuberculosis survey came to an end yesterday evening, as far as the women on the University campus are concerned.
"The men of the campus will have their examinations today," Dr. Canuteson continued. The alphabet listing though is not ironbound, and if it is more convenient to come to the hospital at a different time, that is permissible. The hours are from 2 p.m. until 8.
"Today is the last day for students to pay their fees." Karl Klooz, bursar at the business office, announced.
Today Deadline to Pay Fees Without 50 cent Penalty
For three days beginning Friday, a daily penalty of fifty cents will be added to fees, he said. If they are not paid at the close of the three days, enrollment of the student will be canceled.

The club officers are Margaret Hall, president; Beverly Stucker, secretary; Mildred Carpenter, librarian, and Norma Jean Lutz, student director. The office of business manager will be filled at the first meeting of the club because Patricia Coolidge, chosen at the spring election for that office, will not return to the University this year.

Washington—INS—The OPA eased shoe rationing regulations with a change which will permit sale of non-leather shoes having rubber soles without a ration ticket. Thus, dealer's stocks of canvass and other styled shoes having rubber soles but no leather content will be freed from rationing.
Ten Places Open For Men in Choir
Places are yet available for eight to ten men singers in the University a capella choir, Dean D. M. Swarthout said today. Tryouts for places in this group are now being held, and a surprisingly fine showing in women's voices has already been made. A considerable number of tenor and basses have already been accepted for the choir, but more will be needed for proper balance, Dean Swarthout stated.
Try-outs for new singers are not exacting. The singer is given a short test to determine the range, quality, and volume of his voice plus a short test in sight reading ability. A large number of last year's choir have asked to retain their place for the coming year, Dean Swarthout said.
The a capella choir enjoys an ac- rehearsals each week. An outdoor picnic at Dean and Mrs. Swarthout's home will be held in the near future.

Dr. Hall Gives Paper At A.A.A.S.Meeting
Dr. E. Raymond Hall, chairman of the department of zoology and member of the council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, has just returned from Cleveland, Ohio, where he attended part of the first annual meeting held by the association since the beginning of the war.
Aside from representing the American Society of Mammalologists on the A.A.A.S. council, Dr. Hall read a paper before the American Society of Zoologists which was entitled "Speciation in the American Genus 'Mustela.'"
The association is an over all organization of scientific men in America and embraces more than one hundred affiliated societies. Many hundred scientists attended meetings of the various societies which, said Dr. Hall, were "much like the University in session."
"It was brought out," stated Dr. Hall, "that our knowledge of animal biology must be taken into account more than it has been in the past. Man belongs to the animal kingdom and in solving man's problems, many mistakes of the past might have been avoided, in part at least, if we had used our biological knowledge along with our knowledge of politics, commerce, religion, and history."
The keynote of the meeting, according to Dr. Hall, was struck by Dr. Isaiah Bowman, president of Johns Hopkins and of the association, in his address, "Commanding Our Wealth," which dealt with colonization and post war settlement of refugees.
