Te Leaning Tower T VRsx11 WS TODAY with the aid of a vast and complicated system of radio networks and globe encircl- ing news agencies every person, whether he sits at home and waits or whether he fight in the front lines must have a feeling that he is actu- ally "sitting in on history." Past experiences in coverling tie news of this war have provided the basis for the present timely and complete coverage of the invasion. Censorship prolibits our knowing the disposi- tion of forces and strategy and tactics of the battle. But without the disclosure of any information that would be helpful to the enemy, we can learn the news a few hours and some- time even minutes after it has happened. And detailed reports on the daily life of troops such as those of Kenneth Dixon and Ernie Pyle, give us a feeling that we are almost on the spot. Invasion news is provided on a 24-hour basis by Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expedi- tionary Force. To meet the needs of news- papers publishing at different hours, two regu- lar daily communiques are issued plus special bulletins. Correspondent's dispatches are re- leased as soon as cleared by the censor and are moved to America at once without waiting for the issuance of the communiques. This plan, not generally employed in previous operations, assures prompt and continuous flow of news. Perhaps the greatest feat of all was the complete absence of any leaks as to the date of invasion. The war's biggest secret, hatched last December at the Teheran Conference, was unknown to all but a relatively small num- ber of leaders until it actually happened. The blunder of a girl at the Associated Press' London office can be discounted because it is doubtful that the Germans took much aid or comfort from the slip. It is important that troop movements, grouping of the invasion ar- mada and Allied feelers on the French coast were unknown. The smallest leak could have disrupted Allied plans by letting the Germans know what to expect and by tipping off under- ground organizations prematurely. The quantity and speed of invasion news proves that censorship and adequate informa- tion can go hand in hand. Jennie Fitch verconfidene IT SHOULD NOT be necessary to emphasize to the American people the dangers of over- confidence, yet President Roosevelt in his prayer Tuesday night warned that neither the invasion nor the war are by any means over. In the first reports from the newly-opened battlefront, news comes of light resistance and comparatively few casualties with the result that many' per- sons are inclined to allow their hopes to exceed their reason and believe that perhaps the in- vasion will not be so costly after all. This sort of wishful thinking is dangerous. It is impossible to believe that the cost of the invasion will continue as a topic for cheerful conversation. Despite all military and medical precautions, the toll of lives will be tragic. Many men must die and many others must be wounded. The fact to keep in mind is that although the cost is high, so are the stakes, and the great losses which will come can be justified only if those remaining at home keep their minds clear and their fingers busy. I d mather Be Bight By sNauel GraUofn .NEW YORK, June 7-Chew betel nuts and win the war. What war? Why, the war against Mrs. Roosevelt, haven't you heard? It seems she dared to express an opinion on Mr. Chur- chill's opinion on Franco. That does it! She left herself wide open! Now we've got her! Have a nut. This is what we like, a nice little issue, dust big enough to put into a reader's eye. It would be awkward if we had to state an opinion on Spain ourselves. It is much more convenient to have to state only an opinion on Mrs. Roosevelt's opinion on Spain. Have another nut? Mighty fine chewin', these nuts. Yes, sir, what we like are nice simple little issues, like where it says here that the Republicans promise not to run for a third term. That would be in 1952, if they were lucky. Now, there is an issue you can carry around in your vest pocket, wrapped in a piece of tishy paper; not like some of those big issues, they break your back if you try to pick them up. The nuts are in that box over tlere. What we ' need in this country is an enlightened public opinion, with all our marbles, I mean all our issues, right out in public view, so they can be thoroughly discussed. Like for example, this administration is planning to enslave the country, and it is going about it in a typically totalitarian way by being against the poll taxes and trying to give everybody the vote. First everybody gets the vote, and, next thing they know, they've lost their freedom. H AVE A NUT? We have to preserve liberty, and if the way to do it is to keep labor unions from playing an active part in the com- ing campaign, why then we have to make that sacrifice, on behalf of human freedom and the dignity of nuts. We have to face the fact, that the Federal government is ruining the States. Now, under our system of checks and balances, what we need are State executives who are firmly in favor of State government, and Federal executives who are firmly in favor of State government. Want another nut? It sure is nice to live under a democratic way of life, where a man is free to discuss all the big issues, like is the President more tired than Mr. Dewey, or is Mr. Dewey more tired than the President.. Keep your eye on the ball, I always say, because what we need is a fresh and vigorous President for this next period of our national life, when the Federal government is going to stop doing all this governing, and will turn everything over to the States. We want a man full of pep and energy, to carry out this here program of making fewer decisions in Washington. Take another nut, oh, go ahead, take a hand- ful. The nuts sure have been running fine this year. Mighty good chewin', ain't they?. (Copyright, 1944, New York Post Syndicate) DREW PEA RSON'S Ch MERRY-GO-ROUND WASHINGTON, June 7i-U. S. experts who have studied the Nazi military set-up to resist the invasion figure that Hitler--or whoever did the picking for him-was smart in his selection of German military leaders. Three of the best men in the German Army have been given the job of combating what the Nazis know is the death thrust at Germany. No. 1 is Field Marshal Karl von Runstedt, considered the best strategist and over all commander in Germany. Field Marshal Er- win itommel, immediately uander~ him, is the best man for lightning moves and panzer tactics. Finally,. Colonel Genelral Heinz Guderian is considered the best, tank commander in the German Army. . U. S. experts, Who believe in looking facts n the face, classify these three as among the top military brains of Europe. However, what size and caliber of troops they have been able to spare from the Russian front may be moie important than generals. FDR's Peace Plans ... White House insiders say that the President gave a great deal of thought to the timing of his permanent world peace plans. Here are the factors which caused him to launch his plan at this particular moment:z 1.The Republican National convention will now have to endorse the general thesis of world cooperation or else face the charge of heading the country toward another war. If F. D. R. had waited much longer, he might have been accused of springing the plan too late for the Republi- cans to consider things properly prior to the meeting in Chicago, June 26. 2. F. D. R. saw his old chief, Woodrow Wilson, wait until Europe no longer needed U. S. support to win the war, no longer needed food and relief. In contrast, the United States is at the peak of its war contribution, also at the peak of its bargaining power for peace-for-future machinery. The President decided to use that bargaining power when it had the greatest lever- u. Churchill's recent speech in Parliament proposing world rule~ by the Big Powers, also helped precipitate announcement of the plan. The President some timne ago accepted the Sumner Welles thesis that the little nations must play an important part in the post-war set-up and it was considered a good idea to remind Churchill of this. 4. U. S. prestige with European nations- Svweden, France, Jugoslavia, Spain, Ireland- is at a low ebb. So it was considered a good time to remind them that the U. S. A. is still a friend NOTE-One difference between Cordell Hull and Sumner Welles which led to their break-up was post-war peace planning. Welles lain until it is as exhausted by the performance as the cast itself. There were few volunteers along these lines last night, and consequently the suc- cess of the evening was Left entirely up to the cast. That cast, with no exceptions, was equal to the occasion. Blanche '; alpar, as Play Production audi- ences have been givn ample reason to expect, rai off with top honors. 11er timing and her sweeping ges- tures for the role of the fiendish Gidgeon Bloodgood drew the big- gest laughs, and deserved an even better response. Eileen Blum was a handsome ma- triarch, and her curtain-speech was especially effective. Pat Meikle was not quite so effectively masculine as She was in "She stoops To Conquer." But on the other hand, Jean Wester- man has minimized the masculine mannerisms she displayed in that other production, and has achieved a superior performance as the result, In smaller roles, Claire Meisels, Barbara Greenberg, Zeta Barbour and Onnolee Anderson all played with spirit and ease. Somehow, how- ever, we would have liked a little more haughty spirit on the part of Betty Goodwill, as Bloodgood's proud daughter. The action was slow during the first act, but speeded up during the second, when good direction by Val- entine Windt was especially evident. A particularly good effect was the "fire" of the fourth scene, a fire which unfortunately lingered over for the final scene. Just as one expects superior per- formances from Miss Holpar, one has also come to expect superior settings from the designs of Herbert Philippi. Although an audience is often very conscious that it is watching a strictly amateur performance, Philippi's work never enhances that effect. And the settings for "The Streets of New York" offer no exeption. Better luck to Play Production to- night. And by better luck we cer- tainly mean a more responsive audi- ence. --Willam Keho DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN TI-URSDAY, JUNE 8, 1944 VOL.

Student loans which are not paid or renewed are subject to this regulation; however, student loans not yet due are exempt. Any unpaid accounts at the close of bus- iness on the last day of classes will be reported to the Cashier of the University and "(a) All academic credits will be withheld, the grades for the semester or summer session just completed will not be released, and no transcript of credits will be issued. "(b) All students owing such ac- counts will not be allowed to register in any subsequent semester or sum- mer session until payment has been made." Shirley W.

Mr. Hull, up until he went to Rus- sia last fall, had informed Senators that future peace machinery should be put off until after the war and left entirely to the State Department to decide. (Copyright, 1944, United Features Synd.) things, we would be less at sea when current documents come up, like bills before Congress. A goon example is the Wagner- Murray-Dingell Bil. If we had sat down and read the bill when it was first proposed, we wouldn't have been so badly misinformed all this time. But, instead of getting a copy and seeing what it provided for, we de- pended on the organizations oppos- ing it to tell us what it said. Which they proceeded to do, at great length, and with little attempt to give a comnplete and accurate picture. The main opponent of the measure seems to be the American Medical Association, which has given the im- pression that the bill provides for socialized medicine, period. That it is therefore a menace to our -social system and to the medical profession, and it must be defeated, in toto. But the truth is that the medical provisions are only one part of this omnibus social security act. It provides insurance against ill- ness, injury, unemployment, old age and death, as well as the posi- tive features of increased medical care, and encouragement of medi- cal research. It was especially interesting to read the actual working of the bill so soon after D-Day, because in the light of the invasion, the criticisms age cedar chest to soften inks of any kind that might be stored inside them resulting in seriously damaging the diplomas."

We are a liberating army, going into Hitler's Europe to free the peoples from social and economic slavery. WHEN WE LOOK at our own country, we can see the need of liberation here, too. Not from social and economic slavery, but from many evils similar in kind, though not in degree, withthose in Europe. We still see poverty and illness and ignorance, or their effect on people who are now, for the first time, be- ginning to feel a little security. We see psychological fear greater than perhaps even in the depression, be- cause we had been in depressions before, knew that it would take a long time to get through them, but that they were part of the known "economic cycle." But we don't know what's coming after this war so exactly. We can make plans, but wecan't follow the past; if we do, we will be defeating the only trend that can make this a "free new world." So that one of the plans we owe to the American people: to those who have been fighting, to those who were unemployed for almost ten years, to those who are growing up in prosperity due to war-to these citizens we owe at least physical security, the assurance that they won't be permitted to starve to death, or to die without medical care.
