Reds Threaten Nazi Defense On Wide Front
By International News Service
Red army battering-ram assaults continued today to wreck havoc upon German defenses over the entire Russian front. Formidable Soviet blows were truck on four major fronts, but special attention was attracted again in the Stalingrad area where rapid new gains were made in the campaign to crush 22 Nazi divisions encircled before the Volga industrial city.
Germany suffered a new blow from the west when Royal Air Force bombers, striking out over the continent for the second successive night, blasted war production centers in the Reich. Target of the assault which followed by less than 24 hours the bombardment of the industrial areas of the Ruhr valley was not immediately announced by the air ministry.
Nazis Pay Heavily
A French headquarters communique from North Africa disclosed that the Nazis were made to pay heavily for their boldness in attacking French positions at the southern end of the Tunisian battle front. Ten out of a German force of 30 to 40 tanks were destroyed when the enemy was repulsed.
While an increase in aerial assaults over the Tunisian front was reported, allied patrol activity showed a marked increase. Allied North African headquarters revealed that one British unit operating in considerable force ranged out over enemy territory for distances of five miles both northeast and southeast of Medjez-el-bab. Opposition was small, it was said, and only light anti-tank fire was encountered.

Faculty Members Write For Academy of Science
"Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science," volume 45, was published Dec. 29, and contains eight articles written by members of the University faculty.
Perhaps the most outstanding article in this issue is that by Dorthea S. Franzen, assistant instructor of zoolegey, and A. B. assistant professor of $ ^{*} $
Perhaps the most o. Dorthea S. Franzen, assistant m Leonard, assistant professor of zoology, on "A Preliminary Survey of the Mollusca of Kingman County, Kansas."
The mollusks are a segment of the fauna of Kansas which has received little attention. Prof Leonard proposes to make a similar survey for every county in Kansas. This article is accompanied by a plate of pictures of ancient snail shells.
Other papers by members of the University faculty include "Aplectrum Spicatum in a Kansas Woodland" by Prof. W. C. Stevens and Florence E. Dill, of the botany department; "Additional Agents in the Electro-Deposition of Lead" by Prof. Robert Taft and John K. Fincke, of the chemistry department.
From the geology department comes "A Study of the Oligocene Leporidae in the Kansas University Museum of Vertebrate Paleontology," by Morton Green; "The Occurrence of Eucastor Tortus Leidy in Phillips County, Kansas," is written by Claude W. Hibbard; "A New Fossil Ground Squirrel Citellus (Pi-oicetellus) Fricki From the Pliocene of Clark County, Kansas," is also by Professor Hibbard; "Kansas Amber," by Walter H. Schoewe; associate professor of geology, and "Litter Records of Some Mammals of Meade County, Kansas," by George Rinker, of the zoology department.
This science bulletin, published annually, gives the program of the 74th meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science, which was held in March at Fort Hays Kansas State College. The papers included in the bulletin are from all fields of science written by scientists all over the state. The opening paper is the presidential address given by Frank C. Gates, from Kansas State College, on "Plant Succession," given at the annual meeting.
The Jayhawkers then moved into Buffalo, N. Y., where they met the St. Bonaventure team Saturday evening before almost 8,000 spectators marking their first unexpected victory. Attending the game were the five regulars on the Buffalo German basketball team. This team was the worlds first Olympic basketball team winning the Olympic title at both the Pan American and

COUSINS TO TALK----
Mount Austen, a peak 1514 feet altitude, is four miles southwest of American-held Henderson airfield on Guadalcanal. In gaining the new ground, the marines captured an enemy field piece and repulsed 6 counter attacks, during which the 150 Japs were wiped out.

Navy Announces Americans Gain On Guadalcanal
On the other hand, Mr. Cousins added, the lecture can have added value if books are mentioned in connection with this main picture which highlight it and give it added meaning. In the course of the lecture the following aspects of democracy's struggle today will be discussed: propaganda, the fifth column, the big job for democracy in the schools, and the part each one of us must take in national defense.
Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize at an age when most young men are just starting out in life, Mr. Cousins was summoned to Washington to serve on a Presidential economic conference. Just over 30, Mr. Cousins is recognized as one of America's foremost authorities on literature and world affairs.
Washington (INS) — The Navy reported today that American troops on embattled Guadalcanal had swept forward to gain high ground positions in the vicinity of Mount Austen, killing 150 Japs and launching a drive to completely split the enemy force.
The lecture is sponsored by Forums Board who are also bringing Erskine Caldwell, well known novelist and authority on Russia, to the campus Feb. 25.
CannedFood Ration Is Increased
The annual and intended ration of 33 pounds of canned fruits and vegetables has been boosted by the food administration to 40 pounds for each person. The National Canners' association had previously estimated the basic allotment of 33 pounds would permit about two average size cans for each person for a month, or about 25 cans yearly.
The new rationing program will include not only canned and dried fruits and vegetables, but also canned baby foods, soups, and juices.
Resulting from the large number of nonconsumers, the total number of ration coupons issued is expected to exceed the available supply of canned goods. This will prevent too-large cuts in heavier demand areas, where there is a large percentage of apartment dwellers who live out of the tin can. It was pointed out, a weakness in this plan is that an over-abundance of coupons may encourage the use of more canned goods.
As yet the OPA and the food administrators have not worked out the final details for the distribution of canned goods by areas and to individual consumers.
