Russian Invasion of Nazi Germany Hangs in Balance as Sweden Says Finland Seeks Peace With Russia
(International News Service)
A Russian invasion of Nazi Germany through the Baltic states came within the realm of immediate possibility today.
A usually well-informed Swedish newspaper forecast an early move by Finland to seek peace with Soviet Russia. This development, which overshadowed news from the battlefront in Italy, where Allied troops were reported to have advanced within 68 miles of Rome, lacked official confirmation anywhere.
Official circles in London said they had no knowledge of it, and Moscow remained completely silent. Truce on Russo-Finish Front
But it is true, nevertheless, that what has amounted to a virtually armed truce has prevailed on the Russo-Finnish front for months past. The official communiques from Moscow rarely mention this battle area and the daily broadcast by the Finnish radio usually describes nothing more than patrol activity.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt announced that the governments of the United States, Great Britain, and China have agreed upon joint operations in Asia against Japan. Allies Active on All Fronts
This means the stage has now been set for an early offensive from Burma under command of Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, commander-in-chief in that theater.
In the battle areas, Allied offensive activity was wide-spread. New holes were punched in the German line below Rome, and Russian troops flushed with knowledge that they had dealt out 2,700,000 casualties to the Germans in the last four months, surged ahead to a point only three miles from the Black Sea base of Kherson. American heavy and medium bombers raked Nazi Europe in the wake of a terrific R.A.F. night attack against Western Germany.
BULLETIN
Stockholm, (INS) — George A. Grippenberg, Finnish ambassador to Stockholm, left this city for Helsinki amid reports that Finland is about to sue Soviet Russia for separate peace.
Political circles in Helsinki were reported interested in a broadcast from London advising that if Finland wishes peace she can address herself to the Allied four power commission in London.

News of War, Not Elections Interests FDR
Washington, (INS) President Roosevelt was asked today if he cared to make any comment on the outcome of last Tuesday's election, which returned Republican majorities in most states where ballots were cast.
The Chief Executive smiled and repiled that he had been very much interested in reading the returns from Italy, the Russian front, and the Southwest Pacific where we are fighting the war against the Axis.
Three men of the press will be represented on tonight's University of Kansas roundtable in a discussion of "Censorship and Freedom of the Press." The discussion by Elmer F.

KU Gridsters to Oklahoma 4340 Now Enrolled Chancellor States Doped to Lose Team F
A total enrollment of 4,340 students at the University of Kansas for the term beginning this week, was announced today by Chancellor Deane W. Malott. The figure included 2,324 civilians at Lawrence and medical students in Kansas City and 2,016 enrolled in specialized war training programs.
The Registrar's office can enrollment figure because of the of information on service men withdrawals. Such a condition has never existed before, but, from now on, it may be expected to be just as confusing with three sessions a year, a statement from the Registrar's office said.
The Registrar's office today was unable to issue an exact enrollment figure because of the overlapping sessions and lack
The fact that five-week students were not required to re-register makes it impossible to know how many civilian students are in school until the fee cards are in. This is true also with military students starting in the July engineer semester and the Army session in August. The Army and Navy officers have been unable to inform the registrar of all withdrawals. There have also beer withdrawals in the engineering section since the time of enrollment.
University Student Witnesses Bombing Of Pearl Harbor
(Editor's note: This article is a continuation of the "University Student Sees Pearl Harbor Bombed" story in yesterday's paper.)
Stayed With Aunt and Uncle
Marion explained that she and most of the other girls could not go home because they lived on outside islands, but most of them had relatives or friends with whom they could stay on Oahu. She went to the nearby home of her aunt and uncle and remained there until the Saturday before Christmas, when she went by plane to her home on the main island of Hawaii.
On Jan. 12, Punahau School reopened and Marion returned to Oahu. The students at Punahau School are mostly white persons, but there are a number of Japanese, Filipino, and mixed nationalities, according to Marion.
"There are very few pure Hawaiians left on the islands, as they have inter-married with the Japanese, Filipinos, and white people. The younger generation of Japanese are all Americanized and most of them took the same attitude toward Japan that we did after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Some of the Japanese girls in the school were touchy about the subject, but I think that all of them are loyal to the United States." Marion declared.

It was in March that her parents decided to send Marion and her younger brother and sister to the United States. They arrived by boat in April, 1942, in San Francisco and came directly to Lawrence. Since that time they have lived at the

Geltch To Play Korngold Suite In Recital
Walderman Geltch, head of the department of violin of the School of Fine Arts, will play Eric Korngold's "Much Ado About Nothing," in his recital Monday evening in Fraser theater. Miss Allie Merle Conger, of the School of Fine Arts piano faculty, will assist him in the suite for violin and piano. This will be the first performance of Korngold's suite in Lawrence, D. M. Swatout, dean of the School of Fine Arts said. Korngold is known for the music he has written for several leading movie films, including "The Constant Nymph".
The "Ascension" sonata for piano and violin will be presented by Mr. Geltch with the assistance of Miss Conger. This sonata was written by Cecil Burleigh who succeeded Mr. Geltch in the violin department at the University of Wisconsin.
Mr. Geltch is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College and has studied in Berlin, Germany, at the Klindworth-Scharwenka conservatory. He has been a pupil of Sauret, Musin, Listeman, and Leopold Auer, famous violin teachers.
One of the first to broadcast recitals over a University radio station, Mr. Geltch is the first violinist to present a concerto over such a station, Dean Swarthout said. He has been asked to return to the University of Wisconsin in February to appear on a program commemorating 25 years of University broadcasting.
The recital begins at 8 p.m. There is no admission charge.

Doped to Lose Team Entrains At 9:58 Tonight
Each team has 18 victories to no credit. Dopesters expect the key hawkers to lose, and thus provide an advantage that the Sooners have not had for 41 years.
Twenty-six picked University football players will leave at 9:58 o'clock tonight for Norman, Okla., where they will meet Oklahoma University tomorrow afternoon in what will be the deciding game for supremacy between the two universities over the 41-year period of their competition.
The starting lineup will be the same this week as it was last, except that Banks will start at left end instead of Stucker. Burragegon will start at fullback instead of Carson, lost by transfer to the marines at Northwestern. Jujun Penny reinjured his knee last night in practice and cannot be counted upon for much aid.
Don Barrington will be at fullback in his last game. Naval out
BARRINGTON
thorities have ruled him ineligible for further athletic competition because of scholastic difficulties. To make matters worse, Barrington has been bothered by a charleyhorse all week.
Lewis_Miller, William Jewell naval cadet, probably will see action despite his unfamiliarity with the Shenk system. He is the only new naval cadet who will make the trip. Robert George, starting tailback, also has been working out at the fullback position this week. George's left half position could be filled ably by either Charles Moffet or Bob Miller.
The Sooners came out of their 21 to 7 trimming of Iowa State with no injuries. The Oklahoma first team looks sharper in every game, despite the loss of four starters so far this season from injuries.
Coach Dewey "Snorter" Luster's pigkin patriots have tossed enemy backs for 263 yards in losses in six games this season. If the Sooners hold this pace, they will soak Sooner records in this department.
The Sooners have been especially rough on enemy tailbacks, forcing yardage losses for their opponents.
Thus it appears that the Kansas Jayhawks, with none to powerful a rushing offense, will have to depend on their passing attack against these charging Oklahomaans. If George and Moffett, Kansas passers, can hit their receivers, Oklahoma may be in for a rough afternoon.
