Allies Advance In Sudden Dash On Italy's Coast
A new allied amphibious landing on the eastern coast of Italy, scoring a spectacular 17-mile advance up the Adriatic shores, was disclosed today.
Allied headquarters announced that British Eighth Army troops stormed ashore in an amphibious attack at Termoli, 48 miles northeast of Foggia. The Britons clung to their bridgehead in face of heavy opposition until they were joined by the main body of the Eighth army.
The American Fifth Army pushed 11 miles southeast from captured Benevento, east of Naples, and occupied Motta and Montemileto, extending the allied bridgehead at least five miles inland.
Other reports indicated Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's men were probing enemy defenses north of Benevento on the road to Rome in a drive threatening to roll back the east flank of the German defense lines north of Naples.
The Cairo radio reported that the Americans also captured Zallatta, northeast of Azellion.
American flying fortresses roared deep into Germany from Britain today to blast the industrial city of Frankfurt, following a concentrated RAF attack during the night on Kassel, industrial city in northwestern Germany, 90 miles to the northeast of Frankfurt.
The British air ministry acknowledged the loss of 24 Royal Air Force bombers in the attack on Kassel.

High School Debate Question Selected
The high school debate question for interscholastic debating in Kansas this year is stated, "Resolved: That the United States should join in reconstituting the League of Nations," the Delegate Asssembly of the High School Activities association decided at a recent meeting. This question was recommended by the National University Extension Association Committee on Debate Materials.
Inquiries received from high schools in all sections of the state show a greater interest in debate training and interscholastic debating than was manifest last year, Harold G. Ingham, director of the University extension division, said. A larger number of schools of all classes are expected to participate in the district tournaments next January.
The field of study and discussion is very similar to that of last year's question on post war world organization. The essential difference is that, within any League of Nations, each of the powers retain its own sovereignty. The word, "reconstituting," is to be interpreted as meaning a revived, revised, and perhaps a renamed League of Nations.
Debate tournaments and institutes are arranged through the extension division. Debate handbooks and reference materials are made available to schools through its services.

Dick Abbe AuthorAt10, Trains Here
Dick Abbe, PTR, had a hard time getting into the navy—he had to prove that he was an American citizen. Dick was born in France as were his sister Patience and brother John. You may remember them as the three Abbe children who wrote the book "Around the World in Eleven Years" in 1936.
Since the book was published, Dick has kept on seeing the world. He was living in Portland, Oregon, when the V-12 entered his life. Prior to Portland home was Connecticut, a ranch in Colorado, and almost any country in Europe. Dick Wants To Travel Again
By KATI GORRILL
"K. U. is okay, and navy life isn't bad. I'd rather be fighting, though, than studying. I'm not much on studying. I don't like Kansas—it's too flat," were Dick's comments on his present life.
Dick wants to continue his nomadic life after the war, having no definite plans for a vocation other

Protozoology Offered For Lab Technicians
A short course in medical protezoology will be offered for laboratory technicians at the University from Oct. 27 through Nov. 2. This is the third in a series of medical clinics arranged by the Kansas Medical society and the Kansas State Board of Health and promoted through the extension division of the University.
The course is designed to provide laboratory technicians an opportunity for special study in the field of tropical diseases. Mary E. Larson, assistant professor of zoology, will be in charge of the instruction. The major emphasis of the work will be devoted to the development of laboratory technics. Daily lectures will stress life histories and diagnosis. The entire facilities of the parasitology laboratory will be available to the technicians enrolled.
"The course is offered as a direct result of requests from practicing physicians who attended the series of post graduate medical clinics or tropical diseases conducted throughout the state last summer," said Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division.
"With the increasing prevalence of tropical dysenteries and malaria, with the return of men from the armed forces in foreign service," Mr. Ingham explained, "it is essential that hospital and laboratory technicians be provided an opportunity for intensive training in laboratory procedures in medical protozoology."
