CAMPUS EVENTS S enS lot SuspensoC Students Protest Censorship Of William and Mary Paper Editorial of Jackson Coed on Liberal Race Relations Arouses Ire; Faculty Meets Today By The Associated Press WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Feb. 12--Following student protest against the censorship of "Flat Hat," weekly campus publication, for an editorial by Marilyn Kaemmerle on race relations of the future, the faculty of 6he College of William and Mary will meet Tuesday to consider disciplinary action. Faculty censorship of the weekly, which followed Miss Kaemmerle's editorial, prompted student protest. The faculty meeting will consider a Board of Visitors directive for "such corrective and disciplinary action as may be necessary." The 22-year-old Miss Kaemmerle, who is editor of the paper, is a resident of Jackson, Mich. * * der Stirs * 1CTORY Campus 4' PL Soviets Sweep On Dresden, Saxony Capital Announce Conquest of Budapest Is Imminent By The Associated Press LONDON. Feb. 13-Russian troops swept to within 74 miles of the Sax- ony capital of Dresden yesterday, cap- turing the Bober River stronghold of Bunzlau in a swift 15-mile drive in Silesia that slashed one Berlin- Prague highway and threatened to outflank Berlin on the south. Simultaneously Moscow announced that the end of the long, bloody siege of Budapest, Hungarian capital, was very near. Soviet troops captured the royal palace and ancient fortress on the high bluff on the west bank of the Danube in the Buda section, smashing the core of organized enemy resistance and taking 30,000 more prisoners Sunday and Monday. Prisoners To Exceed 100,000 Final figures for prisoners alone are expected to exceed 100.000 and Ger- man dead also will run into the thou- sands. Budapest, gateway to Vienna and Bratislava on the plains to the west, has been under direct siege 47 days since Dec. 27 when the Russians surrounded the city and broke into its streets. Soviet planes and artil- lery had been bombarding it since the first week in November. Fresh Russian- gains were made in Pomerania and in the Polish Corridor during the day. Col. Gen. Ivan Pet- rov's Fourth Ukraine Army drove to within 20 miles east of Moiavia Os- trava, Czechoslovakia's third city and guarding the northern gateway to the Moravian Gap leading to Vienna and Prague, with the capture of Stru- mien. Reds Attack Near Ratibor Berlin said other Soviet units were attacking near Ratibor, 16 miles north of Moravska Ostrava, known as the Pittsburgh of Czechoslovaki. Marshal Ivan S. Konev's First Uk- raine Army reached the Bober River on a 15-mile front from captured Bunzlau northward, cutting the Bres- lau-Berlin superhighway and trunk railway at many points. Berlin said his tank spearheads al- ready had'crossed the Bober at two points near Bunzlau and were rolling on toward the Saxong frontier only 28 miles away. At Bunzlau, a 12-way road rub on the Breslau-Leipzig railway, the Rus- sians were 90 miles northeast of Prague, Czechoslovakian capital, 22 miles from the Sudetan border of that country, and 25 miles from the Neisse River stronghold of Goerlitz. Hoffman Introduces Bill Against Petrillo WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-- (A) - Legislation entitled "To Restore One of the Four Freedoms, the Freedom of Expression"was introduced today by Rep. Hoffman (Rep., Mich.) He said it was aimed at lifting a ban imposed by James Petrillo, head of the American Federation of Musi- cians (AFL), on broadcast of the Interlochen, Mich., student concerts, and at prohibiting any similar bans. - Miss Kaemmerle, who wrote that the time would come when Negroes should attend the college, "join the same clubs, be our roommates, pin the same classmates and marry among us," did not attend a student mass meeting today -.at which the protest against censorship of the weekly was made. She told an inter- viewee' she would "rather forget" about the editorial but that she was still sticking to her views. The student mass meeting was held today after members of the staff of 'the "Plat Hat" said they had been offered two alternatives by President John E. Pomfert-a paper with fac- ulty o; administrative censorship, or suspension of publication. The edit- ors chose the latter. Speaker after speaker asserted, at today's mass meeting that the ques- tions before the meeting was not ap- proval of the editorial-many frankly did not agree with its expressions- but was a question of whether stu- dents wanted a censored publication. By a rising vote they adopted a reso- lution offered by Harvey Chappel of Clarkville, Va., protesting "infringe- ment of the doctrine" of freedom of the press as "laid down by our honor- ed alumnus, Thomas Jefferson," and calling for adoption of a policy which "will insure free and uncensored stu- dent publications." The campus was placarded before today's meeting with signs reading: "Freedom of the Press or No Press." Near the dining hall someone had hanged a figure, labeled "Board of Visitors," which had a head made from newspapers. Education for N/egroes Upheld Enlightened Negro and white lead- ership, working harmoniously, has re- sulted in increased Negro education in both the North and South, Presi- dent Joseph J. Rhodes of Bishop Col- lege (Texas) said yesterday. President Rhodes, who received his master's degree from the University in 1935, now visiting the School of Education, stated that during the last two years, public school payrolls for Negro teachers have increased $2,000,000. "The great educational need in the South today is for strong private Negro schools," he said. "These schools, pioneers in education for their people, are still carrying more than one-half of the advanced educa- tional load." "After they blazed the trail," Pres. Rhodes pointed out, "the states have built high schools that today are good, particularly in the cities, even though the curriculum offered often is narrow." "The high schools are turning out well-trained graduates who are ready and asking for college educations," he said. DRIVING AHEAD--As American doughboys "assure the extinction of the Japanese" left in Manila, other forces of the Yanks in the Philippines drive to the east of Luzon to completely seal off the island. These men skirt across open terrain behind an advance guard of tanks. Yanks, Canadians Combine To Topple Nazi Westwall Citadels Kfi Ii P F l0143lY 1 x.eve, Irrn ran In New Allied Drive By The Associated Press PARIS, Feb. 12.-Kleve and Pruem, western German citadels which with- stood the shock of an Allied drive last autumn, fell today to the Cana- dian First and U.S. Third Armies in the van of the big push from the west. The Canadian First Army ground on beyond shell-flattened Kleve, the northern westwall anchor, to within 22 miles of Wesel, in the northwest corner of the Ruhr industrial basin. Nazis Driven from Pruem The U.S. ,Third Army drove the Germans from the Eifel Mountain stronghold of Pruem - 115 miles south of Kleve-with surprising ease. Only a few isolated snipers along the river remained to contest the American hold on this town linking large sections of the westwall with sources of supply on the Rhine. The enemy's hold on the westwall along the German-Luxembourg bor- der also was challenged by the hard- hitting Third Army, which installed pontoon bridges over the border line Our and Sure Rivers at several points and was sending tanks and tank de- stroyers across in a gathering offen- sive push. Germans Alarmed The Germans showed the greatest alarm at the northernmost cam- paign, and a front dispatch said they had hurried up armored units to reinforce their sagging lines. Enemy broadcasts admitted Field Cheever Beats Delta Gamma for Crown Adelia Cheever House, re-playing a 37-all tie with Delta Gamma last week, clinched its hold on the wo-1 men's campus basketball title last night, defeating the Delta Gammas, 53 to 51, in a cage tilt at Barbour Gymnasium. Cheever nosed out Delta Gamma in the last minute of play as the two teams alternated for the lead in a see-saw battle. Virginia Bailey paced Cheever scorers. Miss Bailey, Pat Campbell, Evelyn Phillips and Helen Gray were Chee- ver forwards. Clara Albiston, Ruby Kuhlman, Hazel Mills, Elise Cambon, Isabel Milne and Dorothy Sherba+ filled in at guard positns for the winners. Marshal Montgomery was breaking through the Kleve defenses and ex- pressed fears that Gen. Eisenhower was massing tanks here for a break- through along the Rhine. Other German accounts declared a large-scale offensive was impending farther south in the Aachen area, where the British Second and U.S. Ninth Armies are on the flooded Roer 14 miles from the Ruhr city of Muen- chengladbach. Gen. H. D. G. Crerar's Canadian First Army ground through the rub- ble of Kleve, a city which once had a population of 20,000, seized three- fourths of the nearby Reich forest and was closing from two directions on a second important communica- tions center at Goch, seven miles south. Scott Calls for Post- War Draft For America Post-war military training is a necessary follow-up of any United Nations agreement on post-war secur- ity, according to Walter E. Scott, Commander of the American Legion of Detroit. Scott spoke on the side of universal conscription in a debate with Prof. William Clark Trow of the educa- tion school last night. The debate was sponsored by the Michigan Youth for Democratic Action. Scott continued by saying that the only alternative to an immense stand- ing army or complete unpreparedness is peace-time conscription. Prof. Trow, in his negation, claimed that conscription is thought of as the only alternative because nothing bet- ter has been suggested. He proposed such other possibilities as a volun- tary system of camps, voluntary en- listment and scholarships for train- ing of technicians. In answer to Scott's claim that Army discipline will mature and strengthen the conscriptees charac- ter, Prof. Trow claimed that this pro- gram would prove to be a year's train- ing in evasion of laws. As proof, he told of the thousands who have crack- ed under training during the war and the evasion of regulations by soldiers and sailors im school. Yank Advance Slashes Luzon Island tn Half Street-Fighting Gi's Tighten Manila Trap By The Associated Press MANILA, Feb. 13-Three Yank di- visions linked forces Monday in a solid line against the shell-wrecked bay front of Manila south of the Pasig River. The enemy's only possible means of escape would be across the Bay to Corregidor and Bataan, which bomb- ers of all types battered with a rec- ord weight of nearly 1,000 tons of ex- plosives in a 48-hour period ending Sunday night. Flight Hazards Emphasized The hazards of such a flight were emphasized in today's communique which reported American fighter planes sank 35 barges, loaded with 2,500 Japanese, off the shores of Bataan Peninsula Sunday. It appeared more likely the Nippo- nese in South Manila would stand and die in the rubble-strewn area they hold, already compressed to less than five square miles. There they were carrying out a carefully calculated plan to set the price of the city's capture as high in lives and property as possible. They fought behind thick walls. - The American bombers, attack and fighter plans which spilled destruc- tion on the Japanese at Corregidor and Bataan made 500 sorties in the 48-hour period. 200 Tons Hit Correigidor More than 200 tons hit the rocky island fortress of Corregidor where Japanese guns have been silent for more than a week after sustained aer- ial poundings. Within Manila, where three hard- fighting American divisions were ov- errunning networks of pillboxes and seizing big enemy guns, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced today the ex- tinction of the enemy war near but that the twin aims of conserving the lives of the doughboys and the city property slowed the process. Hit Luzon East Coast To the northeast of Manila, armor- ed tnits of the Sixth Division, driving east across Nueva Ecija province, reached the east coast of Luzon-the first Yank penetration t othat shore- at Dingalan Bay. In South Manila, the Japanese are "now closely encircled" and are being "compressed into extinction," today's communique announced. Chiefs Agree On Military, Political Issues Reparations, Polish Problem To Be Settled By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The Big Three, winding up an eiglt-day con- ference around a white draped table in an old play spot of the czars, an- nounced tonight their formula for the triumphal conclusion of a wa and the beginning of organized peace. Their nine-point program, an- nounced at the end of the fateful day-and-night sessions, projected this nation fully on to center stage in European affairs. Meeting at Yalta Ends That in outline is the record of the meeting concluded yesterday in the one-time summer palace of Czar Nicholas 11 on the Black Sea at Yalta in the Crimea, a conference that may shape tomorrow's world. The decisions were announced to- day in a joint communique from the participants, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Cnurchill, and Prem- ier Stalin. Here at home first reaction in Con- gress and elsewhere was overwhelm- ingly favorable for the rport of the leaders of the three great powers. That report covered these prime re- solves: Prime Resolves final extirpation of Nazism and militarism; elimination or control of Al German industry usable for war; 0o softening of unconditional sur- :ender, and no break in the Allied .ront. . The nine points of the Big Three communique are: 1. Detailed agreement among the United States, Britain and Russia on military plans against Germany vhich "will result in shortening the war." As if speaking to the German >eople over the head of Hitler, the ,ommunique warned them that "Nazi 3-ermany is doomed. The German zeople will only make the cost of heir defeat heavier to themselves )y attempting to continue a hopeless resistance." 2. A final decision to split Ger- x-any into zones of military occupa- tion after victory. The United States, ..reat Britain and Russia each will icupy a zone, and France will be invited to occupy another. If she accepts, as she is expected to do; 'he control commission will be ex- ;>anded to include French members. Victory is to be followed by destruc- pion of Nazism and militarism ' and :lirnination or control of German in- dustry capable of war production. 3. A commission will be set up in 'Moscow to consider the amount of Merman reparations, and how they should be paid. The communique Spoke especially of reparations in 'rind--presumably labor and goods. 4. A formula for settling the rank- ling Polish issue was agreed upon. Et provides for merging the provi- sional government now recognized by Russia with certain unnamed "democratic leaders" from within Poland and from exile Poles abroad. It also provides that Churchill -and Roosevelt recognize Stalin's insis- 'ence on the Curzon line as Polands eastern boundary which gives Russia huge chunks of so-called old Poland including the cities of Vilna. and Lwow. 5. Another formula along the ame lines was disclosed for Yugo- ;lavia. The Big Three said Marshall rito, who is now running the country .rom the inside, and Dr. Subasic, the :ri e minister of the exile govern- ment at London, should immediately ;et up their coalition government as previously agreed on. 6. To provide continuing consul- tation of the Big Three the chiefs of state agreed that their foreign sec- ret ries should meet every three or tour months, beginning in London -about the middle of the year. 7. The Big Three also made up their minds on the big issue still unsettled in the Dumbarton Oaks plan for world organization and a- ;reed that the United Nations should hold a full dress conference on this plan in San Francisco beginning. April 25. The formula for settling issue which had previously led to disagreement was whether a big power, if accused of aggression, should have a veto power an any action against itself. The formula for settling this dispute will be made known as soon as China and France 'IT'S THREE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING,' ROOMIE: Finals Loom, Bluebook Time Draws Near Editor's Note: Perry Logan, The Daily's roving reporter, was assigned to procure accurate campus opinion and reaction to the approach of final exams.
