Included in the "History" is to be the life of one of the more well known officers of the school.
On the show will also be students of the University, but the program is not yet definitely arranged, Chief Starkey added.

(International News Service)
American first major penetration into the ring of island defenses guarding Japan approached its climax today. With Japanese defenders of the Marshall islands sustaining casualties at a rate of 46 to 1 and losing hour by hour valuable territory that Emperor Hirohito ordered defended at all costs, the initial phases of this great counter-stroke against enemy aggression began to shape up as one of the greatest in naval and military history. Rear Admiral Richmond Kelley Turner, who lead the amphibious forces, summed it up as the Allies having too much and too soon.
He said, "Maybe we had too many men and too many ships for this job, but I prefer to do things that way. It saves many lives for us and it should be a discouragement to Japs everywhere to know that when we hit we really hard and for keeps. Our gains are important, and they haven't cost us much yet."
The gains can be summed up as follows:
1. The islands of Roi and Namur with their important air strips are firmly in American hands.
2. A major assault by tanks and troops is under way against crumbling Japanese resistance on Kwajalein island to the south.
3. U. S. marines and infantry forces have set in motion a nut-cracker movement designed to wrest the entire Atoll and supremacy of the entire Marshall group from Japanese hands.
5. Of the estimated 2,000 enemy defenders on Kwajalein at least 1-250 have been killed at a cost of 27 American soldiers killed, 190 american and 9 missing
4. The vast fleet of American war ships, troop-carrying and supply vessels completed their job so speedily that on the second day of attack they could be moved in sanctuary of Kwajalein lagoon, protected from possible Japanese submarine attack.
It was apparent from latest dispatches that the Japanese remaining on Kwajalein faced capture or death and prisoners already taken betray a fearful conviction that Japan has lost not only the Marshalls but the whole Pacific war as well.
