Planes Destroy 3 JapShips Daylight Raid On France Nets 110 Nazi Aircraft; Four U.S. Bombers Lost Russians Improve Defensive Position By The Associated Press The Japanese again have landed reinforcements on Guadalcanal at the cost of a destroyer sunk and cruiser; and destroyer damaged in a deter- mined effort to wrest the vital Solo- mon Islands air base from the United States Marines. The Navy announced this yesterday at about the same time U.S. Army Headquarters in London was disclos- ing the full extent of a smashing U.S. Air victory against the Germans over Lille, France, Friday. In that greatest daylight bombing attack of the war,115 Flying Fortres- ses and Liberator bombers destroyed 48 Nazi planes, probably destroyed 38 and damaged 19. The 500 accompany- ing fighters shot down five others. Only four,. U.S. bombers and-no fighters were lost, making an amazing score of 110-4. Besides whittling down German air strength, the American pulverized the steel and locomotive works at Lille which were working for the Germans. If this left any doubt of the power of American bombers, one had only to look to the other side of the world at Rabaul, New Britain, where the largest concentration of Allied bomb- ers yet to operate in one raid in the Southwest Pacific struck mightily at the Japanese base. Some 60 tons of explosives and in- cendiaries were dumped on te base from which the Japanese were prob- ably reinforcing Guadalcanal, setting fires visible for 80 miles in vital in- stallations. In importance, the raid on Rabaul possibly outranked even the Lille at- tack because it demonstrated the pos- sibilities of extended American of- fensive operations, in greater force, over greater distances, in the South Pacific. Vital though the battle in the Solomons was, it paled in comparison to the mammoth struggle in Russia- the bloody fulcrum of the whole war. Soviet Girld Sniper Will TalkHere Lieut.

Second, there is a tremendous amount of work right here in Ann Arbor which can be done by students if and when they become organized. If we have the manpower, then, and we have important jobs that must be done, the obvious task is to bring the two together. This must be done not a month from now, not a semester from now, but TODAY. No organization now, existing on this campus can do the job the way it must be done. There is too much rivalry, too much campus politics, too much campus-as-usual in any single group to trust it with the tremendous job of realizing the latent manpower of the Michigan student body. What we need and need immediately is a brand new, all-embracing organization for men with the power and the prestige to put students to work wherever and whenever they are needed. It should not appeal to the students through any pre-war organi- zation nor on any pre-war basis. It should appeal for student volunteers who will understand that it is their patriotic DUTY to respond when called upon once they have pledged their services. This new organization should be directly under the Student War Board, but it should have a boss and an administrative set-up of its own. IT WOULD BE CONCERNED with just one thing: coordinating the work to be done with the manpower available. Its membership should be open to any male student who feels that this war is his own personal business. Under such a set-up activities of existing campus groups would necessarily be somewhat curtailed. There is no other way to accomplish the gigantic task which lies before us.. The leaders of these campus organization naturally want their own groups to do as much as possible. But I know these men and I know that they are bigger than petty rivalries, bigger than vested interests, bigger than personal ambition and I know they understand that this war is bigger than any one of us. I am confident they will cooperate, as will the general student body, with any manpower organization that is set up. All that remains is to get the organization under way. At 6:30 p.m. TODAY in the Student Offices of the Union there will be a meeting to do just that. The top officer of every major campus men's organization is asked to be present. - - -- - -- -" -Clip Here And Mail To A U.-M.

I, No. 9 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN OCTOBER 11, 1942 * * * * * * Sturdy Iowans Crush Michigan Eleven 264 By BUD HENDEL (Daily Sports Editor) The Iowa Seahawks proved their right to football greatness in Michigan Stadium yesterday before a crowd of 34,124 fans who sat stunned by the show of unimpeachable gridiron power taking place before them. Striking through the air with the devastating efficiency of their own Navy dive-bombers and rolling along the ground with all the bone-crushing force of an Army tank, the Seahawks overcame a 14 point deficit to whip a dead-tired but fighting Michigan eleven, 26-14, and take another step forward in'their quest for the mythical national championship. Yesterday's defeat was the worst suffered by Coach Fritz Crisler's Mich- igan squad since the 20-7 licking absorbed at the hands of Minnesota in 1939, and it marked the ninth straight year that the Maize and Blue has fallen before a Bernie Bierman coached team. For 23 short-lived minutes yesterday Michigan was the best gridiron crew in the nation, but after the Cadets had worn down the ironman Wol- verine line it was simply a story of too much power for sheer guts to the hitherto impregnable Wolverine combat.

Before 34,124 customers, Bernie Bierman's Iowa Naval Cadets charged back in the second quarter of yesterday's game to defeat Michigan by a score of 26-14. It was the worst defeat suffered by Coach Cris- ler since the Minnesota game of 1939. Starring for the cadets was quarterback Forrest Evashevski, ex-Wolverine star, who caught a 55 yard pass for Iowa's third touchdown. Other Wolverines returning were 'Whitey' Fraumann, Bob Flora and Butch' Jordan, all Michigan stars of former years.
