General Wins Plane In Wager
London, (INS) — An American flying fortress—complete with crew—today was British Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery's personal airplane because his eight army captured Sfax four days before he wagered it would.
The Daily Express, in a dispatch from Sousse, said the plane and crew were turned over to the fighting general Saturday, and told this story:
Two months ago, dining with some unidentified American generals, "Monty" asked them:
"What will you give me if I take Sfax by April 15?"
The Americans, believing such a feat improbable, said they would give him anything he wanted.
Montgomery asked for—and got a fortress complete with its crew.

Student Loans Drop 50 Per Cent at M.U
Columbia, Mo. (INS)—Loans made to its students by University of Missouri have dropped 50 per cent since September. Financial aid formerly provided to between 500 and 600 students yearly is now required by only half that number of students. Total amount of the loans which once ranged from $45,000 to $60,000 a year, is at present around $25,000.
KAPPA ETA KAPPA . . .
The drop is mainly attributable to the falling off of school enrollment However, an increase in summer employment paying extremely high wages has a great deal to do with it. Miss Christine Hauschild, manager of the student financial aid service of the University, explained. Many students who look forward to getting jobs in defense plants this year are thus avoiding the need to borrow money to return to college in the fall.

Little Change In Tunisia
