Funeral Rites of Mrs.E.H. Lindley Conducted at 4 p.m.in Museum, Ashes to Be Scattered in Pacific
Funeral services for Mrs. E. H. Lindley, widow of the former chancellor of the University, who died at 4 o'clock Saturday in the University of Kansas hospitals in Kansas City, will be held at 4 o'clock today in Spooner Thayer Art Museum. The Rev. Theodore H. Aszman will officiate. The body will be cremated and at the close of the war the ashes spread upon the Pacific where the body of the retired chancellor was buried when he
was returning from a tour of the Orient with Mrs. Lindley in August, 1940.
Mrs. Lindley had been ill for two weeks. She was taken to the hospital Thursday after having suffered a heart attack.
In the years she has made her home in Lawrence, she has been associated with many women's groups—college, civic, social, literary, and religious. She was president of the University Women's club and president of the Friends in Council, the oldest literary club in Lawrence. She was a member of Chapter AZ of PEO; Kappa Alpha Theta Alumnae club; Lawrence Women's club; the Women's Guild of the Presbyterian church; the American Association of University Women; and the League of Women Voters.
Native of Indiana
She was the former Elizabeth Kidder, member of the famous Kidder family of Richmond, Ind. Both her mother's and father's ancestors for generations back had either lived on Martha's Vineyard or on Nantucket and Mrs. Lindley was often dubbed by her relatives as an "of-islander" because she was born after the family moved to Indiana.
Mr. and Mrs. Lindley's romance developed from a college friendship formed when they were attending the University of Indiana. They were married Sept. 18, 1895. Formerly Mrs. Lindley attended Earlham College but received her bachelor of arts degree at the University of Indiana where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. Members of the University chapter will attend the services this afternoon.
State debate finals for class B schools will be held at the University Saturday, Feb. 12, H. G. Ingham, director of the extension bureau, has announced.
Later she returned to Bloomington to live when Dr. Lindley became a member of the faculty at Indiana University, and those years was active in the campaign of women suffrage serving on the state board. She was also a member of the hospital board in Bloomington and was an officer of the Women's Council of Clubs.
Four or five schools, said the director, will participate in three rounds of debate. Judges have not yet been appointed.
Class B Debaters To Have Finals Here
Resided in Worcester, Mass.
Residency in Worcester.
For two years she resided in Worcester, Mass., where Mr. Lindley was a fellow at Harvard University.
During the year they spent abroad when he visited universities of Germany and France, Mrs. Lindley had much pleasure at operas and museums. She quoted her husband (continued on page three)

Germans Continue To Resist Near Rome And in Cassino Area
(International News Service)
In Italy the Germans attacked with renewed intensity both in the Rome beachhead and Cassino areas despite losses in men and war material. Some Allied advances were scored, particularly in the Cassino sector where American and British troops now have that important town four-fifths encircled. In the beachhead area, however, it was a bloody fight. Each successive Nazi blow was thrown back, and American troops regained some lost ground but still were far from cracking enemy resistance and launching a general northward stride to Rome, now less than 20 miles away.
Latest dispatches said that five German divisions, including the so called "Elite-Corp," are in operation on the beachhead front with at least an equal number holding the fort at Cassino.
The war on the Russian front took a new twist with a series of violent Soviet air raids on Helsinki, Finland, which comprised a virtual ultimatum to Finnish to denounce her allegiance to Germany and get out of the war or take the consequences. Russian land forces closed in on 75,000 Germans trapped in the Dneiper bend and advanced through old Poland and Estonia to the north.
Co-ops Choose KU For April Meeting
The campus here was chosen yesterday as the district meeting place of the Central League of Campus Co-ops with a tentative date set for April 7.8, and 9.
The decision was made at a meeting of cooperative representatives in Kansas City, Mo., to which Ann Crabtree and Jeanne Shoemaker, representing Harmon Co-op, and Luther-Buchele, representing John Moore Co-op, served as University delegates.
Ten delegates from Harmon, Kaw Koettes, Jay Coeds, John Moore and Rock Chalk co-operatives attended the district meeting last year at Columbus, Mo.
Bond Drive Shortage Caused by Neglect CVC Leader Believes
The Coed Volunteer Corps now has a total collection of $2,839 in the War Stamp and Bond drive. This figure lacks by $2,161 the goal of $5,000, which is the cost of a plane rearming boat.
Betty Jo O'Neal, CVC major, said the felt that students were willing to do their part but had just neglected to buy their war bonds and stamps in this campaign. She also stated that the booths in the library, in the union building, and in the center of Frank Strong hall would be continued This week for the convenience of students who wish to purchase stamps and bonds.
There will be members of CVC selling bonds at the Navy program in Hoch auditorium tomorrow night. It is hoped that purchases made there will boost the sale figures so that the goal may be reached by the deadline date, Feb. 12.
Houses should be promoting sales for their candidates for queen to reign at the dance Feb. 12 which will climax the drive, Miss O'Neal said.
AST's Will Gather In Big Bond Rally
The ASTP unit will hold a bond rally tomorrow evening from 7 to 7:30, in Fraser theater, Lt. Col. W. L. McMorris announced today. Co-operating with the University in an effort to make the Fourth War Bond drive a success on the campus, the Army units are urging 100 per cent participation by the trainees and staff in buying bonds and stamps.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, famous for his energetic pep speeches, will be the featured speaker at the rally tomorrow night. Lt. Col. McMorris will also speak to the men.
Members of the CVC, who are in charge of the war bond drive on the campus, under the direction of Betty Jo O'Neal, CVC major, will be present to sell bonds and stamps to the AST trainees after the program. The rally is being planned by Capt. Benjamin F. Clark, adjutant.

The south and east coasts of Paramushif were shelled, the navy communique revealed, coincident with a new bombing attack, the joint operation being carried out at 10 p.m. Tokyo time, on Feb. 4. "A number of fires were started and one unidentified enemy ship was hit and sunk," the communique said. "Enemy coastal guns returned the fire but U.S. units received no damage."

Tau Kappa Epsilon had a 93 per cent registration of blood donors, the highest of any organized house, and was the only men's traternity to have a registration over 20 per cent, Josephine Abbitt, in charge of recruiting student donors, announced today.
The raid was carried out as a moment when other huge U.S. naval forces, described as the greatest fleet ever to put to sea, were engaged in final operations in the Kwajalein atoll of the Marshall islands. Only a few unconquered Japanese remained at isolated outposts in the atoll and latest dispatches from the Marshalls said that fast-working fighting Seabees of the naval construction and engineering corps already are restoring the large air base on the main island of Kwajalein for new long-range assaults against the enemy.
Tau Kappa Leads Confest of Donors Giving to Blood Bank
Delta Gamma led the women's organized houses and sororities with a registration of 56 per cent. Ricker hall and Watkins hall tied for second with 50 per cent.
Sigma Kappa, 47 per cent; Kaw Koettes, 44 per cent; Chi Onega, 42 per cent; an organized house for women at 1232 Louisiana, 38 per cent; Westminster hall, 33 per cent; Kappa Alpha Theta, 30 per cent; Hillcrest house, 27 per cent; Alpha Delta Pi and Carruth hall, 23 per cent; Foster hall, 22 per cent; and Miller hall, 21 per cent.

According to Mrs. Ralph I. Carnuteson, chairman of the registration committee, a comparatively large number of women students were rejected because of low blood pressure.
