New Contract Sends Miners Back to Jobs
NUMBER 29
Washington, (INS)—Striking coal miners started back to their jobs today under a tentative new contract providing nearly all of the $2 a day wage increase which mine-chief John L. Lewis first demanded seven months ago.
The 460,000 bituminous miners, ordered by union officials to resume production in the government-seized pits, will receive $1.50 a day more; however, for only an hour's extra digging of war-vital coal.
M. C. Krueger To Speak Nov. 11
Maynard C. Krueger, professor of economics at the University of Chicago, will speak at the Armistice Day convocation, Thursday, Nov. 11, J. H. Nelson, assistant dean of the Graduate School, said today.
Mr. Krueger, economist, teacher, and lecturer, has been a frequent participant of the University of Chicago Round Table, and was there at the time of the Munich crisis when the broadcast was translated and rebroadcast into Germany by directional short wave with the approval of the American state department, but without that of the German.
Topic Will Include Economics
Born in Missouri, Mr. Krueger was raised on a farm and taught in a rural school at 16 with a year's work in the University already behind him. With an inclination toward scientific analysis rather than polemic, Mr. Krueger went to the University of Missouri, Berlin, Paris, Geneva, Chicago, and Pennsylvania and studied in fields of modern European history, political science, and economics.

Army Got More Mail Than Navy
Packages could not weigh more than 5 pounds, be more than 15 inches in length, the girth and length combined not to exceed 36 inches. In other words, this is about the size of a shoe box.
By Jean Born
Packages can still be sent to servicemen provided the sender has a written request for the articles included in the package. These must also come under the size and weight regulations.
Postmasters are requesting that Christmas packages going within the United States be sent before Dec. 15, if possible. In addition to the great volume of mail this year, the number of postal employees has been decreased and altered, making this early mailing date a necessity.
Are army men more popular than navy men? Maybe not, but both the campus postmaster and the postmaster downtown report that many more packages were sent to army fellows before the APO deadline Oct. 15 then were sent to navy boys before their deadline Monday.
A chorus line of dancing machinists mates will be the feature of the Navy Happy Hour to be presented next Tuesday night in Hoch auditorium. Beginning at 7:45, the program will be open to the public. The sailors will present dances like regular chorus girls, "only better," said Chief Petty Officer George Starkey.
Navy Chorus 'Girls Will Be Featured At Happy Hour
The program will commemorate Armistice Day with musical numbers from World War I. Dorothy Mae Nelson, graduate of the University, and Bettie Cohagen, College sophomore, will sing. A rope climbing contest will be part of the entertainment.
University Student Sees Pearl Harbor Bombed
By Pauly Reeve
The bombing of Pearl Harbor sounded "just like blasting" to Marion Fraser, College freshman, who was only about 10 miles from Pearl Harbor on that historic Dec. 7.
Marion, who was born and reared on the Hawaiian Islands, was a high school junior at the Punahou School on the island of Oahu at the time the Japs attacked Pearl Harbor, but she and her schoolmates were ignorant of what was really happening or about an hour.
ing We were getting ready to go to "Vice that Sunday morning and choreo no attention to all the noise, said it was merely blasting in thinkin' dance," she said. "One of the dis he however, did remark that it girls, he like 'the world coming to sounded but it wasn't until about an end, otherwise that we happened hour afi"
"The actual bombing was over by that time, but we could see the Japanese planes flying above the harbor, and anti-aircraft shells were bursting in the air. We also could see a school burning about a mile from us. It was exciting to watch but made us all plenty mad," she added.
Their view of Pearl Harbor that day might be compared to the one we have from Mt. Oread of the plant at Eudora, according to Miss Fraser.

(International News Service)
Irreplaceable components of the Nazi-Jap war machine lay in blasted and water-soaked wreckage today as a result of virtually simultaneous attacks against the enemy in both the European and Pacific theaters.
The Nazi destruction was at Dusseldorff and Wilhelmshaven, while the Japanese wreckage was at the harbor of Rabaul. The
Changing of Schedules To Extend Through Monday
Students enrolling late in classes for the winter semester, or those wishing to change their schedules, must complete such changes by Monday, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, announced today.

Craftons Write Book on Plays
Allen Crafton, professor of speech at the University of Kansas, and his wife, Jessica Royer Crafton, have recently completed a book entitled, "The Complete Acted Play."
This book is written out of an experience of a quarter of a century in the amateur theater. During these years, the writers have, together, directed more than a hundred and fifty plays, designed, constructed, painted, and lighted three hundred sets, designed and made nearly one thousand costumes, and played more than one hundred parts.
This book, for the beginner, covers all aspects of play production from the director's preparation for his job to the proper taking of curtain calls. It is not for the experienced theater worker. "The Complete Acted Play" seeks to set down practice for production rather than theories. It further seeks to be a complete handbook for all beginning theater workers, in whatever field of production they are engaged.
The illustrations for the book were done by Elizabeth Crafton, fine arts senior, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Crafton.

Germans lost factories and the Japs lost ships.
It is now safe and reasonable to assume that the all-out winter air offensive against both the Germans and Japanese has begun. The Rabaul attack was the heaviest ever carried out in the Pacific while the raid on Dusseldorf which coincided with one against Cologne was believed to have set a record in tonnage in bombs dropped.
Greatest Attack By U. S. Airmen
Greatest Attack By U. S. Airborne
The gigantic American attack on the great Nazi port of Wilhelmshaven yesterday was the greatest ever made by American planes operating from the British Isles.
Americans Blast Jap Navy
Never since the war began have so many enemy targets in such widely separated theaters been assaulted from the air at almost the same time. Never before has the Tokio-Berlin Axis been blasted so thoroughly and successfully at both its ends.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's attack was completely successful. Twenty-six Japanese warcraft were gunk or damaged and 108 Jap planes destroyed or probably destroyed.
The Navy department at Washington announced the destruction of 10 more Japanese vessels by long range American submarines operating in the Pacific. This new tally raised to 487 the number of Japanese ships sunk, probably sunk, and damaged by American undersea craft.
Advance in Italy and Russia
Lt. Gen, Mark W. Clark's United States 5th army smashed forward three miles in Italy and forced the Germans to fall back to other prepared defenses. The British 8th army under Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgoryn picked up an additional five miles, capturing the Casel Petraso road junction. At least six additional towns were taken by Allied forces.
Dispatches from the Russian front told of new German reverses and uninterrupted Soviet gains. Soviet troops reached a point within 18 miles of the Black Sea port of Kherson and to within 20 miles of the Dneiper river mouth.
BULLETIN
