Navy To Close EM School Oct.
The closing of the U.S. Naval Training School (Electrical) at the University was announced today from the office of Chancellor Deane W. Maoff, to take place next Oct. 9.
A letter from Rear Admiral L. E. Denfeld, assistant chief of naval personnel, advised that the last class of electricians mates to be sent to the University of Kansas will arrive June 19. When the training of that class is completed, the school will be closed. The action has been taken, he said, because of changes in service requirements for electricians mates.
University officials this morning said that machinists mates training was changed during the winter from educational institutions to a training system aboard ships. It is as- sumed that some such change is be- ing used for the electricians mates
"The announcement of the termination this fall of the Electricians Mates program," said Chancellor Malott, "is further evidence that our armed forces are acquiring the strength needed for early victory. It has been a great satisfaction to the University to have been one of the first of the technical navy schools to be activated, and to have served in this important capacity for more than two years."

The battle for Rome continued with unabated fury today as Allied troops hurled themselves northward along the main approaches to the city.
Hottest spot of the embattled sec or appeared to be the Velletri-Valmontone area, 20 miles south of Rome.
Nazi propagandists admitted an Allied advance into the anchor town of Velletri where according to the enemy, "dramatic street fighting" now is raging. Other German broadcasts indicated that their Liri valley line had been forced to the north under Allied pressure.
Air blows again were leveled against Hitler's fortress by Allied planes operating from bases in the Mediterranean and Britain. Between 500 and 750 bombers from the Italian area struck at the Ploesti oil fields in Rumania where they scored hits on at least one important refinery and left clouds of smoke visible many miles away. Anti-aircraft fire was heavy returning crew members reported.
