War Information Library Displays Current Maps
Current maps may be found on the east wall of the War Information library. There are usually three kinds on display each week.
World News of the Week is a combination of important news events and illustrative map work. The Foreign Policy association puts out a weekly map which this week is of Australia and
New Zealand. The Tunisian warfront is illustrated in detail by Newsmap. It makes clear, for example, such points as why the British eight army is not taking the shore-line route to Hammanet and across to Tunis. Dense marshes have made a barrier.
Newsmap magazine is also available. It is displayed on a small table near the wall maps. A large Newsmap can be seen on the bulletin board between the doors which lead into the main reference room on the second floor of Watson library. All of these maps may be studied by faculty members, students, and townspeople.
Music Literature Also Posted
In addition there is an announcement of the NBC American University of the Air giving its broadcasting curriculum for the broadcast season of 1942-1843. Course I, "Lands of the Free," is designed to give a chronological study of the vital elements in Western Hemisphere history and to offer analysis of the varied social, economic, and political problems of the Americas. Course II "Music of the New World" is making an effort to show the vital part music plays as a social expression in the lives of the people. These programs may be heard each week over NBC at 9:30 Monday and 10:30 Thursday respectively. "Land of the Free" has a broadcast, "Llaneros," scheduled for May 3.
A pamphlet Club and Study Series number III, "Music in Latin America," vol. III of a series on a brief survey on literature, art, music has come to the library recently. F. E. Melvin, associate professor of history, is present at the War Information library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 5 p.m.

U.S. Ships Made 1,745 Sailings For Lend-Lease
New York, (INS)—During 1942, American controlled ships made 1,745 sailings with Lend-Lease cargoes for Britain, Russia and China and this year the volume may be doubled, Admiral Emory S. Land reported yesterday.
Describing the current distribution of available dry cargo tonnage he said that 41 per cent is engaged in operations for the navy, 30 per cent is in Lend Lease operations, 16 per cent in civilian shipping to Central and South America and the United States, and 13 per cent is serving with the navy.
Land, chairman of the United States Maritime Commission, was a speaker today at the war conference of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
He said also that 3,560 foreign flag United Nations's ships had been serviced in American shipyards and 1,482 foreign flag ships repaired.
"Prime Minister Churchill recently told the British people the United Nations have greater merchant tonnage in service today than they had a year ago," Land said.
That statement can be affirmed, but in affirming it, let me add we are still, as we have been since the war began, definitely short of ships. In my judgment we will be short of ships so long as the war lasts."
Stassen Resigns; Warns Successor Against Isolation
St. Paul, Minn., (INS)—Lieut Gov. Ed Thye yesterday became Minnesota's 26th chief executive with the resignation of Gov. Harold E. Stassen who will enter active service in the navy.
With a parting warning against isolationism, Stassen, the nation's youngest governor, resigned his third two-year term in office Tuesday at a simple, five-minute ceremony at the state capitol.
Turning over the governor's flag and keys to his office to Thye, Stassen said:
"I trust that you will continue to recognize that Minnesota is not only a part of the United States of America, but also a part of the world and that you will point the road away from isolationism to an advance in the science of government to win an enduring peace."

Immediately after the ceremony, Stassen donned the uniform of a Lieutenant Commander in the navy and left for Chicago. He was ordered to report at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station at Great Lakes, Ill., today.

Dictionary
"BUT, WE DIDN'T MEAN RIDING CROPS!"
Noah Webster didn't write the first English dictionary—and neither did Samuel Johnson.
A study by Dr. DeWitt T. Starnes, professor of English at the University of Texas, has uncovered much of the history of the English dictionary, showing that the first such volume was prepared in 1604—more than a century before Johnson brought out his own ponderous definitions.
Another study by Dr. Starnes brought to light much new information about the history of Latin-English and English-Latin lexicography. These dictionaries were in circulation among scholars from the Fifteenth century on, Dr. Starnes has discovered.
