The third visit to Lawrence of the Red Cross mobile blood bank was successful with a total of 376 pints of blood given by Douglas county and Lawrence donors Thursday and Friday, as compared with the 368 pints donated in April at the first visit.
Many students returned to give their donations for the second time; and Jo Lee Abbott, member of the Delta Gamma sorority, gave her sixth donation, the five previous ones being given in St Louis, where she lived until her parents moved to Kansas City.

Allies Take Town Near Calore Strike Nazi Airports in Greece
British and American veterans of the battle of North Africa made considerable progress in Italy today in the face of heavy rain and stiffened German resistance, taking the town of Pontelandolso, 12 miles northwest of Benevento, a small but strategic point north of the Calore river. The capture marked the drive of a dangerous wedge in the Nazi river line, but in most points along the Volturno and Calore rivers, the enemy still had a distinct advantage which may not be shifted until cessation of rain-

Relief Speaker Here Today
Lois Crozier, traveling secretary of the World Student Service Fund, will speak this afternoon at 4:30 in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building. The WSSF drive is a unified effort of all relief agencies and is an attempt to promote students' solidarity.
"I began this work because I saw the opportunity to make a definite contribution now to post-war reconstruction," stated Miss Crozier. "I believe unless students in more fortunate circumstances are willing to share the sufferings of their fellow-students the world around, the attitudes and foundations for a better world will be lost."
Miss Crozier was graduated from the University of Redlands, Redland, Calif.

"No ideologic reservations or moral scruples will retain Stalin from a course which he regards of a vital interest for the Soviet state," Dr. Jaszi assured. "The chief motive of Russia after the war will be to make the peace secure," he added.
