Europe's War To Stalemate Stage Soon
(By United Press)
War in Europe settled more deeply than ever into economic conflict today, with still no sign of the long-promised springtime military, naval, or aerial offensives.
The present period, dispatches emphasized, may be merely the pause before big scale warfare begins but there was little to indicate that either side had yet decided when, where, or how it would strike swiftly and effectively at the enemy.
While London claimed that no Allied ship had been sunk for a week, Germany, on the other hand, found the Allied blockade tightening. It was reported from Copenhagen that all German shipping might be ordered to take shelter for the time being. The closing of that loophole in German commerce was considered of only secondary importance in the general plan to strangle Germany.

Cinema Official Praises K.U.'s Movie Course
A personal endorsement of the University's course in movie appreciation was given today by William Saal, special representative of Republic pictures who is making his headquarters in Lawrence in connection with the world premiere showing of Republic's "The Dark Command" here, April 4.
Saal, who flew in from Hollywood today, praised the University course on moving picture work when he addressed a special meeting of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce at the Eldridge hotel this noon. Saal explained that the course enables youths who are interested in see-
nario writing and other moving picture work to learn the technical requirements of movie producing before trying to crack Hollywood studios.
At the meeting Saal outlined the plans for the premiere beginning with the arrival of the stars of the picture, John Wayne, Claire Trevor, Gabby Hayes, Roy Rogers, on a train which will leave the troop's headquarters in Kansas City at 10 a.m. April 4. After a welcoming luncheon at the Eldridge hotel the action will move to a parade which will show the "Cavalcade of American Transportation."

Only on the western front are the Germans encircled as yet by any blockade which seriously interrupts the normal flow of goods.
While stalemate seems a definite possibility, social economists believe that should the impasse come, the transformation to a more workable economic system might be speeded up.
In the air, Berlin said today that a
French pursuit plane was shot down during a night fight between German and French planes near Saarbruecken. Reconnaissance flights over enemy territory were reported from both sides.
In America, the Allies were expected to place huge new orders for late-model army and navy airplanes as a result of the Administration's newly-developed policy of permitting their sale to foreign powers. Informed sources said today that the new policy would permit the Allies to obtain experimental and hitherto secret developments in army and navy planes.
Columbia Honors Prof. L.N. Flint
The Gold Key for "outstanding work in the school publications field" has been awarded to Prof. L N. Flint, director of the University's department of journalism, according to a letter received today from Joseph M. Murphy, chairman of the Columbia Scholastic Press association.
The citation was made March 16 at the sixteenth annual convention of the association in New York, which was attended by 2,800 high school journalists. Professor Flint is one of 83 persons so honored in the past 16 years. The award was made in honor of his services at the University; because he was the author of the first outline course of study for high school journalism; because he taught the first two high school journalism teachers; because he offered the first summer session course for high school journalists; and because "he is an elder statesman among journalism teachers."
