"From Corregidor" Is Radio Drama Given Over KFKU Today
"From Corregidor", written by H. Donald Spatz, was the radio drama presented by Prof. Robert Calderwood, Ted Lehman, College junior, and Carl Sutton, senior engineer, over KFKU at 2:30 this afternoon.

Baby Carriage Quotas Assigned By WPB To 25 Manufacturers
Washington, (INS) — War or no war—America's babies are going to have carriages, sulkies and peramulators—even the twins.
The War Production Board yesterday assigned quotas to 25 manufacturers authorizing manufacture of more than 300,000 baby carriages in the next two months.
Production at this rate for the balance of 1943 will be able to meet the anticipated demand for 900,000 new carriages for new babies.
Quotas issued today call for 316,-620 single type carriages and 5,827 for twins. In addition 163,500 strollers, baby walkers and sulkies will be manufactured up to June 30.
Students Make Survey
Science students at Sarah Lawrence College have made a social survey of the need of nursery schools for children of women doing war work.
New York, (INS)—Despite certification of their contract dispute to the War Labor Board, bituminous operators this afternoon agreed to continuance of negotiations when John L. Lewis threatened to halt mining of soft coal by his 450,000 followers in the United Mine Workers of America.
UMW Will Negotiate On Contract Dispute
This rapid-fire action came after anthracite operators who had emulated bituminous owners in rejecting union demands for a $2 daily wage boost, proposed renewal of the contract expiring April 30 with minor changes.
Dr. John R. Steelman, federal conciliator who has sought in vain for the past few weeks to break the deadlock, requested continuance of contract discussions by northern and southern operators with union officials to avert a suspension of soft coal mining which would jeopardize war production.
American Legion Commander Declares Casualties 'Terrific'
Washington, (INS) — Col. Roane Waring, national commander of the American Legion, who has just returned from a tour of the north African battlefronts, today declared that American casualties there have been "terrific"—many more than the 5,000 that the army has announced.
Waring, at a news conference,
solely reported:
"Our people have taken terrific casualties. They have lost a lot of material. They have taken a lot of hard blows. That has got to be expected."

New York, (INS)—A plea for continued vigilance on the part of the public as well as the nation's press to safeguard the freedoms for which Americans are fighting was voiced today by Linwood I. Noyes of Ironwood, Mich., after he was elected pdestdent of the American Newspapers Publishers' Association.
In the final session of its 57th annual convention the association adopted a resolution creating a committee of five "to take such action as in their judgment seems necessary for the protection of the right of newspapers to gather and disseminate important public information."
Other officers chosen were William G. Chandler of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, of New York, president; Norman Chandler, of the Los Angeles Times, re-elected secretary; and Edwin S. Friendly of the New York Sun, elected treasurer.

Indiana Is First Over Bond Quota
Indianapolis, Ind., (INS)—Indiana became the first state in the nation to exceed its quota of war bond sales yesterday in the second War Loan Drive.
Eugene C. Pulliam, head of the state War Finance Committee, reported sales of $127,410,203 to exceed the quota of $125,000,000. Tremendous buying of smaller denomination bonds coupled with large sales was responsible for the record-breaking spurt.
Pulliam said the campaign now becomes a drive to boost the remaining two-thirds of the 92 counties over the top. Many of these are near their quotas now and several more are expected to exceed their prescribed sales by the end of this week, he said.
