THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Nazi Army Expected To Give Up First
After receiving a beating this month which was five times worse than any London ever experienced, Berlin takes its place alongside devastated Hamburg and still the German morale does not crack.
The German people, once told by Goebbels that they would never be bombed, must be getting a little skeptical now. Certainly the Germans at the beginning of the war had no idea that in one night's raid over Berlin 10,000 out of 5,000,000 persons would be killed or injured. It must have been a new thing to have their government admit that "a very large number are injured or dead."
People's Morale Is Low
Germans who have lived under the swastika and are now out of Germany say that again it must be the military units which start the beginning of the end. They concede that the morale of the people is low, but they insist that severe military defeat must be suffered before the army will become dissatisfied and turn against the government.
Nazi officials constantly try to prevent lowered civilian morale affecting soldiers and also guard against soldiers talking about military subjects when they are home on furlough.
Military Defeat Is Necessary
The Allies undoubtedly would prefer that the defeat of Germany come through second front propaganda rather than actual attack. But the German armies at present are holding their own well enough to discount their devastated home front. Only by decisive military defeat on vitally important ground will the German armies be made to realize the game is up.
It now looks as if the Allies will invade Europe from England in the late spring or early summer of 1944, and if they can force the enemy back in a decisive battle during the summer, the German army will crack. J.S.

Forrest Lee Logan, student at the University in 1943, and son of Dr. and Mrs. F. F. Logan, Hutchinson, has enlisted at the Kansas City naval aviation cadet selection board as an apprentice seaman, V-5, in the United States Naval Reserve.
When Logan becomes 18 he will be transferred to class V-5, naval aviation cadet, and will begin training leading to a commission as a flying officer in the Naval Reserve or the Marine Corps Reserve. Before his transfer he may receive a year of college training at the Navy's expense, according to a report received from Lt. Theodore M. O'Leary, Kansas City Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board.
Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Accidents will happen: Hanna Hedrick is still blushing as only she can at the thought of a recent week end when Steve Phelps, Phi Delt and army medic, came to visit her in Newton. One night Hanna thought she heard a crash in Steve's room and hurried in to see if she could be of any assistance. Well through the doorway, she encountered Steve sans all but a pair of striped shorts. He had dropped his shoes.

Fraternal Love: The fellows at the Phi Gam house told Nelson May they were letting him in on a big secret—the pinning of Vic Costello. Nelson dressed up in his best suit for the occasion and said strengthening things to his supposedly nervous friend.
At dinner Mark Costello rose and started off with the customary facts about his "brother". Nelson gave Vic an encouraging pat and listened rapturiously up to the last sentence when Mark announced the engagement of "fraternity brother Nelson May to Mary Tudor Hanna."
Nelson rose to denounce the statement, but was pushed roughly down in his seat while the crowd cheered. After dinner, May, desperate but helpless, was dragged to the Gamma Phi house where Betty Jo O'Neal, impersonating Mary Tudor, tripped down the steps and blotted a pair of cupid brow lips on the thrashing Phi
Premier Smuts Hopes End of War in Year
Cairo, (INS) — Fervent hope that the war in Europe will end next year was voiced today by Premier Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa in the wake of the latest in a series of international conferences which cemented Turkey's friendship with the Allied Nations.
Premier Smuts arrived in Cairo last night and dined with President Roosevelt as supplement conferences bearing upon the Tri-Partitie meeting went forward in Cairo.
As he spoke, official disclosure was made that Prime Minister Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of Britain had met with the Kings of Greece and Yugoslavia who are now living in exile in Cairo.

Gam. Then the rest of the Gamma Phis started in.
He couldn't have put it in his laundry anyway: Mary Tudor Hanna being a town girl, knew nothing of her mock pinning until it was over. At Monday night dinner the remains were presented to her: a once white handkerchief, property of the abused Nelson. In ink, over a blur of red smudges the Phi Gams had inscribed, "here lies the remains of the lipstick of your sisters in the bond, who on Dec. 5, 1943, smoored Nelson with a passion unknown in civilized society."
Budding Morgenthaus: Ruth Krebhiel and Esther Bord find themselves prostrate as far as their financial status is concerned. They have been in this state since the vice-versa party when they entertained Jack Coulter and Tom Mangen. Esther and Ruth planned the evening as a walking, coke-drinking debauch, but the boys refused to abide by the budget. They hailed cabs for every intermission and ate hamburgers like popcorn.
To keep from being taken to the county jail instead of back to Corbin at the end of the evening, Ruth had to part with her last coin, a Canadian dollar lucky piece.
Washington. (INS)—The Senate was embroiled in a bitter quarrel between northern and southern Democrats yesterday during which Senator Harry F. Byrd. (Dem.) Virginia, charged Senator Joseph F. McGuffey. (Dem.) Pennsylvania, with uttering a "contemptible lie."
