Hambro to Talk On World Peace In Hoch Tonight
Washington, (INS)—Secretary of state Cordell Hull today delivered a ringing declaration of independence on behalf of the small nations of the entire world with emphatic assurances that their equality would be encouraged and perfected in the postwar international organization.
Barring any more calls by the Norwegian government in London, Dr. C. J. Hambro, president of the League of Nations Assembly and president of the Norwegian Parliament, will speak at 8:30 tonight in Hoch auditorium on "How to Win the Peace." His appearance on the campus has been canceled twice because he was needed in London.
Nine students were selected to participate in the finals of the "Know Your University" speech contest following tryouts last night in the Little Theater of Green hall. Fourteen students participated in the preliminaries.
Dr. Hambro has just returned from England where he conferred with government officials on current and future policies and plans.
During the first World War in 1918, Dr. Hambro was elected a member of the Norwegian Parliament, as he had just reached the required age. Since 1924 he has represented Norway at the League of Nations. In 1939 he was elected president of the League Assembly and chairman of the supervisory committee as well. Until the war is ever, he will continue in these offices.

KU V-5's Rank Tops In Area
The Navy V-5 unit at the University has won highest rating over 13 other U. S. Navy CAA WTS schools in the area of which it is a member, according to a letter received by Lt. Randolph S. Neil, commanding officer, from Lt. Commander J. F. McEndy in the regional office at Kansas City. This is one of the seven regions in the country.
An average of 85 to 90 naval aviation cadets are enrolled at all times. Most of them study through a 12-week course. All have previously taken a three months' course at the Flight Preparatory School at Liberty, Mo. At first all the trainees were men who had volunteered for naval aviation, but recently many of them have come by transfer from other branches of naval service. Some have had three years service on the sea. Others have been through several of the important battles in the Pacific.
Joliffe Hall Gets Sleeping Porch
A new $4,000 sleeping porch will soon be ready for occupancy at Joliffe hall, women's dormitory, increasing the capacity from 30 to 44. A fire escape has also been added at the southwest corner of the building.
The porch is completely fireproof, with asbestos walls and insulated floors and ceiling. A uniform temperature can be maintained by the thermostat on the porch which controls a unit blower heater. The lower half of the windows are frosted.
Plans are being made to paint the building but this will probably have to wait until August, according to Henry Werner, member of the endowment association.
Joliffe was originally built by the University club. It later became the Acacia fraternity house and was purchased at the same time as Foster hall by the endowment association as a boys dormitory from a fund of $50,000 left by Mr. Joliffe. With the decrease in men students and the lack of accommodations for women, last fall the building was made a women's residence for the duration.

The programs are arranged in parallel construction, with the first week being devoted to problems of personnel management in industry, and the second week given over to problems of personnel management in schools.
Dean Twente has announced that individuals are invited to attend any part of the institute sessions without the payment of any fees if they are not interested in obtaining University credit.

Prime Minister Gets Majority
Kansan Had Press Woes Yesterday
Unavailable until nearly 7 o'clock last night, the University Daily Kansan was delayed by the worst press trouble that has occurred since he came here four years ago, declared Elmer F. Beth, head of the journalism department, today.
Although the paper went to press at its usual time early yesterday afternoon, a sudden break in the roll of paper, followed by eight other similar misfortunes within the next few hours, occurred almost immediately. Excessive humidity, combined with the high temperature yesterday, caused the paper to tear easily, according to the pressmen. The make-up of one of the inside pages, which put an uneven pressure on the two sides of the paper, was also blamed for the trouble.

Allies Near Rome Stab Nazi Line
(International News Service)
American forces plunged to within sight of Rome's skyline today. They stabbed to a point only $14_{1/2}$ miles from the Eternal City by breaking the last Nazi defense line at one spot and gaining more than two miles.
Nazi troops continued to fall back north of Frosinone now in Allied hands, while in the Alban hills below Rome fighting was especially bitter.
The thrust carried the dugbys to the top of 2,400 foot Mt. Artenisio from which they launched an assault on the town of Nemi. These Americans now are three miles behind the Nazis' Lanuvio-Velletri-Valmontone line at that point.
Britain-based planes pounded Nazi rail lines and communication points in France with the enemy coastal installation again taking a severe drubbing. The operation cost the RAF eight planes.
