Churchill Tells Of Casablanca In Parliament
By International News Service
Prime Minister Winston Churchill lifted the curtain on the Casablanca conference today.
The watchword of the United Nations from this time forward, he said, will make the Axis "burn and bleed," until the last vestige of its tranny and aggression have been taken from the surface of the earth. Unexpected Appearance
He served notice upon Germany, Italy, and Japan that he and President Roosevelt in that historic meeting had drafted and adopted a world-wide program of offensive action against the enemy on land, sea, and in the skies.
Unexpected Apearance
Churchill made his unexpected appearance before the House of Commons to deliver his report in advance of a broadcast scheduled for Sunday.
His resume was a detailed one, characterized both by caution and by optimism. To the members of Parliament he told everything except the one great secret of the war—"just when and where the United Nations would strike in force against Adolph Hitler on the continent of Europe.
At the same time, he made clear that the major battle in Tunisia must precede this eagerly awaited invasion. He discussed that 500,000 American and British troops were landed in North Africa on November 7, and against these the Axis army estimated at a quarter of a million men is now a symbol.

Bald-Headed Man Leads In Hairpin Salvage Drive
Winsted, Conn., (iNS) Because their stock of hairpins is rapidly dwindling and there is no further supply in sight, retail stores have been conducting a drive among employees to hunt for them behind back seats of their automobiles.
Running away with the first day's record of 33 salvaged pins was Francis Finn. He is president of the Bald-headed Club of America.
This will place the great American leader in command of some 750,000 men.
out this formidable force and clearing the way for the assault in Europe itself, Churchill announced that Lt. General Dwight D. Eisenhower would take over command of the British eighth army, now surging across the Tunisian border in pursuit of Field Marshall Rommel.
But while the Prime Minister spoke of the day when the world is liberated and the war-makers crushed for all time, men on the fighting front brought this longed-for moment even closer.
Red Armies Gain
In Russia, the Red armies smashed ahead through and reported gains. Another Allied victory was in the making in the Wau-Mubo area southeast of Lae on the island of New Guinea, where Australian jungle troops scored a six-mile advance.
Ground activity in Tunisia again was limited, but an early thrust was made by the British eighth army to crack or flank the Mareth line now shielding Rommel's forces.

Dr. L. E. Grinter, a 1923 University Civil engineering graduate has been appointed consultant to the bureau of Training of the War Manpower Commission.
Dr. Grinter, now dean of the graduate school and vice-president of Illinois Institute of Technology, will be assigned the study of shortage of technical manpower. Advising the Commission on matters of technical education, as well as finding a sufficient number of engineers and technically trained persons available for war industry, will be included in Dr. Grinter's duties.
Dr. Grinter went to Chicago in civil engineering and dean of the 1937 as head of the department of graduate school at Armour Institute of Technology. With the merger of Armour and Lewis Institutes in 1940 he was appointed vice-president of the new institution, Illinois Institute of Technology.

The rebounding of Fred Merrill and smooth floor work of Harry McClure were the only bright spots in the Phi's play. Bill Dougherty showed the only spark for the SAE's as he racked up eight points for high scoring honors of the game.

Double Duty Conduit . . .
Storm Sewer Serves As Local Playground
By MARY ELEANOR FRY
Newcomers driving or walking east on Fourteenth street are probably surprised to see what at first glance appears to have been an attempt to put a wall around the town, with the project evidently having pooled out because of a vitamin deficiency, or the fun having died out, after the "wall" was about a foot high.
However, what they see isn't a fort with its growth stunted, but a steel-section and reinforced concrete storm sewer, 8 feet wide where it crosses the Ottawa line of the Santa Fe railroad on Thirteenth street, and $5_{1/2}$ feet wide where it runs into a draw on Fifteenth street. The height of the conduit is $5_{1/2}$ feet, a foot or more being exposed above the surface.

Built in 1936 as added drainage for an east-west sewer running back of McAllister school and draining that section of Lawrence between 13th and 22nd streets, east of Louisiana, this concrete construction, which parallels the Ottawabound railroad tracks, is a happy-hunting ground for youthful "chalk artists" in the vicinity.

crudely-drawn picture of "you." The long smooth strip of concrete must look inviting to shuffle-board enthusiasts as there are three courts sketched in red paint on the surface of the conduit. Service City.
This storm-sewer, and the others that serve the city whenever the weather man gives us rain or snow, may have been built for scientific purposes, but as far as the kids in the neighborhood are concerned, its intended function plays a weak second fiddle to that of being a grand place for anything from an exhilarating game of "cowboy and Injun" to serving as a mortar for reducing sandstone to "face powder."
Curriculum requirements for history majors at Hunter College have been revised to provide greater flexibility in choice of courses as well as to give training in independent research.
