Snow Zoology Club to Have Dinner Meeting Thursday
U. S. Bombs His Home
The account of the mistaker, bombing of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, by American bombers was not just another war story to Robert Guntert, technician in the department of entomology. It was the story of the destruction of his home town.
Mr. Guntert was born and reared on a farm only two miles from the town of Schafhausen. He lived near the now damaged community until he was 20 years old. Then he came to America,
The entomology technician has several cousins who were living in Schaffhausen at the time of the bombing he believes. He has not heard from them since the outbreak of the war.

Mr. Guntert said he could recognize every building in the picture of the bombed city which appeared in newspapers with stories of the destruction.

Serving as chairman of the supervisory committee of the League of Nations, Mr. Hambro found it necessary to cancel his previous engagement here when he was called to London to confer on political matters there. He has chosen "How to Win the Peace" as the topic for his lecture here next month.

Nazis Trapped In Carpathians By Soviet Troops
(International News Service)
Aided by a heavy new American air attack on the Hungarian capital of Budapest, Russian troops plunged deep into central Europe and the Balkans today threatened annihilation in the footfalls of the Carpathian mountains. The assault upon Budapest by heavy bombers based in the Mediterranean theater was the second within 24 hours and was designed like the previous to ruin or damage war production in the ancient city and cripple the communication and supply line which radiates from it throughout the Balkans.
For the first time since the war began Bucharest, capital of Rumania, was subjected to heavy air assaults today, by fortresses and liberators based in the Mediterranean area. The assaults meant that all three Balkan capitals—Bucharest, Sofia, and Budapest now have felt the weight of Allied air assaults. Wilson Reports Few Changes
Sir Henry Maitland Wilson had few changes to report on the Italian land front where Allied artillery blazed away at enemy troops concentrations, supply dumps and communication lines. Puppet Italian Fascist troops were reported in action against the Allies at the Anzio beachhead for the first time.
First reports on the assault against the Palau islands less than 500 miles from the Philippines, were made public by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox today. Emphasizing the reports are incomplete he said our air losses were 8 fighters, 11 bombers, and 8 torpedo bombers. All enemy ships present at anchor in the Palau area were sunk or damaged. Knox also volunteered the information that since the Pacific war broke out, United States navy and marine fliers have destroyed a total of 4,316 Japanese planes.
Other activity in the Pacific included extension of American control over additional islands in both the Marshall and Admiralty group while the Manila radio broadcast a mysterious "all clear" signal with no previous indication the Philippine capital had been alerted against real or possible attack.

Short talks about Easter customs in France will be given by various members of the club.

KU Alumni Meet In London This May For Reunion Dinner
London, through the ages, has seen many strange events, but probably for the first time this May, it will watch over a meeting of KU alumni who are serving in that particular European theater of operations.
Fred Ellsworth, secretary of the Alumni Association, has received a request from Capt. Harrison D. Kohl under the auspices of the Stars and Stripes, American daily newspaper for the U.S. armed forces, to send campus pictures, newspapers and other publications, pennants, and music sheets, and other University material for the reunion dinner.
Lt. Robert C. Polson, who was graduated from the University in 1938 and from the School of Medicine in '42, has already written to his mother of the coming event, Mr. Ellsworth said.
Pre-Medic Exams To Be Given April 28
Aptitude examinations for premedic students will be given April 28, Dr. Parke Woodard of the school of medicine has announced. Purpose of the tests is to determine something of the student's ability to interpret medical subject matter.
All civilian students who have not taken the examinations are urged to do so at this time, Dr. Woodard said. ASTP students are not expected to take the tests now.
Interested students are asked to register as soon as possible at the office of the School of Medicine. Exact time and place of the exam will be announced later.
A special retreat formation will be held by members of the University ASTP unit Thursday evening in observance of Army Day Lt. Col Watson L. McMorris, commandant of the unit, announced today. The entire unit, including those of the medical corps, will participate in the ceremony.
ASTP to Have Special Retreat On Army Day
"The men will continue their academic and military activities as usual throughout the day," said Colonel McMorris. "It will be impossible to hold a military review because of the small number of trainees remaining since the departure of basic engineers, terms two and three. Attendance of all study hall periods Thursday night will be optional with the trainees."
Army Day went unobserved last year both by the civilian and military groups, the latter devoting its time to a concentration on training for war. The display of flags, however, gave recognition to the day.
