Graduate and professional students
may apply for rooming accommoda-
tions in Hinsdale House of the East
Quadrangle for the coming year,
Prof. Karl Litzenberg, director of
residence halls, announced yester-
day.
The article appearing in The Daily
yesterday erroneously stated that
graduate students would not be eli-
gible to live in the Residence Halls.
Fraternity members and men al-
ready pledged are not eligible to live
in Residence Halls according to a
ruling made in response to a request
of the Interfraternity Council. Ex-
ceptions may possibly be made in
cases where a fraternity house is full.

WASHINGTON, May 8. -(P)-
Third term supporters regarded
President Roosevelt's sweep in Cal-
ifornia today as corroboratory evi-
dence of what they have been say-

is automatically his, if he will take
it.
Added to the third term triumphs
in Illinois and Wisconsin and the
support of many party leaders else-
where, they saw it, at least, as
strengthening Mr. Roosevelt's abil-
ity to choose the party's candidate,
if he does not run himself.
The election gave' a slate of dele-
gates pledged to Mr. Roosevelt's re-
nomination a lead of nearly three to

Leland Stowe

O N MONDAY EVENING, April 8, Leland
Stowe--correspondent for the Chicago
Daily News and its syndicate-sat in
Oslo's Grand Hotel talking idly about
Europe's dormant war.
No guns rumbled nearer than the Sylt.
The good burghers of Oslo were safe in
their beds.
At.half past midnight the city heard a
noise like a thousand angry motorists
stalled in a traffic jam-the raucous bel-
lowing of aii- raid sirens.
At 7:45 the next morning, Stowe and
his colleagues, Edmund Stevens of the
Christian Science Monitor and Warren
Irvin of N. B. C., watched Nazi bombers
roar over the trim Norwegian housetops
-not in sky-darkening swarms, but by twos
and threes. No bombs fell. Scarcely a shot
was fired.
By 2 in the afternoon, the incredible
had happened. The tramp of Nazi boots
was echoing through Oslo streets. The
conquerors, marching by threes, made the
thin gray column look longer. People
gaped like yokels on the Fourth of July
at the spectacle of 1500 Germans taking
possession of a city of 256,000--a handful
of invaders so sure of easy conquest that
they had a brass band!
Was this an instance of awesome Nazi
might?... of a little neutral's pathetic un-
preparedness? To the keen mind of Leland
Stowe, sharpened by experience with Eu-
ropean intrigue, familiar with Oslo's de-
fenses, the thing didn't make sense.
Stowe got busy, and began to pick up
the pieces of the most fantastic story of

onced can find their way around. And the
propaganda front ... reactions of the peo-
ple ...an area that takes the shrewdest
kind of reporting.
The din of battle is just an incident in
this war. It is the touch of red with which
a painter brightens a somber canvas. It
means something only when seen against
the rest of the picture.
Just the same, we all love red, so the
newsmen go through hell and high water
to give it to us. And a whole long year ago,
TIME, the Weekly Newsmagazine, began
to paint the background that would give
those flaming stories meaning-in Back-
ground for War, TIME's famous panorama
of Europe on the brink.
In every new issue, TIME changes and
illuminates the shadows behind the crack-
ling, red-hot stories of the week. Stories
from TIME's own big and growing foreign
staff, from the Associated Press, of which
TIME is a member, from the ace corre-
spondents (with enthusiastic credit).
TIME gives the total coverage that total
war demands. TIME unravels the economic
and diplomatic snarl. TIME reconciles con-
flicting stories-weighs one against the
other, knows the sources and the mental
slant of each reporter, comes up with the
composite, clarified answer.
No man knows where the rlext explo-
sion will be and neither does TIME ... But
TIME knows and tells where the TNT is
stored.
It's pretty important to know where we
are in this war. TIME shows you both the
woods and the trees.

. into Oslo led bya band

the war. A story of a small but potent Nor-
wegian war fleet in the harbor whose crews
had been deliberately ordered ashore. A
story of fortresses and anti-aircraft bat-
teries that didn't fire, or fired startlingly
wide of the mark. A story of mines whose
electrical control system had been discon-
nected. A story of a free people infested
through and through with spies, who could
never have crept into key positions with-
out the aid of traitors:
Chauffeured by a fair compatriot with a
smiling comeback to German gallantries,
Stowe escaped to Stockholm and gave the
world the news of Norway's gigantic in-
side job. Another feather in the cap of the
reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize in
1930 ...the 40-year-old man who was told
by a New York newspaper last fall that he
was "too old to cover a war."
* * * .
Take a poll among newsmen for ace cor-
respondent of World War II, and Leland
Stowe's name would probably top the list.
But there would be runners-up ...

and total reporting means manpower. All
told, it takes 10,000 men to report the
holocaust in Europe.
The economic front is everywhere and
all newsmen help to cover it. The corre-
spondent in the dugout, noticing how the
men are fed and clothed. The man in the
capital gathering facts on production. The
traveling thinkman with eye peeled for
slowdown or sabotage. The editors or bu-
reau heads who fit the jigsaw puzzle to-
gether.
Then there is the diplomatic front, a
labyrinth where only the most experi-

to give College Students a clearer picture of the world of news-gathering, news-
