PA HFOUR THE MICHI AN DAILY WVEDN1ESDlAY, JULY 7, 1943 NEWS FROM THE FILES: Four Law Graduates From University Attend JAG School RAF's Typhoon Fighter Given New Destructive Power LONG VOYAGE HOME: Lt. Jacoby Relates Trip From Shangri-La' to University By LT. G. P. FORBES Judge Advocate General's School Four graduates of the University of Michigan Law School are among the 70 members of the 11th Officer Training Class at the Judge Advocate General's School, a recent survey re- vealed. Major Norman D. Lattin, who re- ceived his JD here in 1924, was pro- fessor of law at Ohio State before en- tering the Army. Another University graduate is Capt. F. Roland Sargent, JD '31, who was Saginaw City At- torney and first assistant prosecuting attorney of Saginaw county. Clark, Goodwin Here The other two University men in the class are Major Cedric W. Clark, '22L, and Lt. Martin G. Goodwin, '28L. Major Clark formerly served as judge and prosecuting attorney of Meits County, Ohio, while Lt. Good- win was a member of the Tennessee legislature and Mayor of Lenoir, City, Tenn., for seven years. Among law schools, Harvard is far in front with 11 representa- tives while Michigan and Fordham tie for second place with four each. Other legal institutions which boast two or more include Cornell, Georgetown, Ohio State, Stanford, University of Texas, Louisiana State University, Western Reserve, New York University, and Yale. One officer is a graduate of Dal- housie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and later earned law degrees at Oxford University, England, and Yale. Three others hold degrees of doctor of jurisprudence. Captains Hold Majority In the matter of rank, captains hold a majority with 26. First lieu- tenants and second lieutenants num- ber 16 and 14 respectively. There are 13 majors in the class. Two members 'of -the class con- fess to service outside the conti- nental limits of the United States in this war, and 11 to service:in World War I, one in the Navy. One was an air corps pilot in France and another was wounded at 6 a.m. on Armistice day 1918. Public offices formerly held by the student officers are numerous and range from village trustee to state court judge. In addition to the trus- tee, there are three former mayors, a city councilman, a city attorney, an assistant city attorney, seven dis- trict attorneys or assistants, an as- sistant United States attorney, and asistant state court clerk, and a state bar examiner. Five Congressmen Present On the legislative side are five former state representatives or sena- tors. State judges are three in num- ber, and there are one county judge and one court reporter. Two officers were formerly assistant state attor- neys general, and three other held important legal positions with gov- ernment agencies. Eight different service schools are listed among those attended previously, led by the Infantry School and Air Corps Administra- tion. Others are the Adjutant Gen- eral's School, Quartermaster School, Tank Destroyer School, Armored Force School, Counter In- telligence School, and Army Ad- ministration School. Among undergraduate educational institutions Fordham, Louisiana State University, and University of Alabama lead with three followed by Auburn, University of North Caro- lina, University of Washington, Uni- versity of Texas, Ohio State, New, York University, and Yale with two. Altogether 49 different colleges and universities are represented including one graduate of the United States Military Acadamy at West Point. Navy Represented The membership of the class does not possess a 100 per cent Army. tinge. A salty atmosphere is added by the fact that two officers attended the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis for two years, one attend- ed a naval course at Newport, R. I. Giving physicals to 1317 Navy blue- jackets and marines in West Quad may be a far cry from action on the high seas, but Lt. Jack Jacoby, '38M, medical officer for the V-12 program, has seen plenty of it. Stationed aboard a heavy cruiser, Lieutenant Jacoby sailed with an es- cort fleet to "Shangri-La" in the South Pacific, scene of Jimmy Doo- little's takeoff for his immortal April 1942 raid on Tokyo. Japs Attacked Ships in Pacific "From 'Shangri-La' we went to Australia but our action really be- gan in Feb. 1942 when the Japs at- tacked the Marshall-Gilbert and Wake-Marcus island strings." Lieu- tenant Jacoby said. "Jap pilots came at our ships. They chased us during the days, dropping .bombs all around us. We were hit twice but not much damage done. "In the middle of October that year our cruiser joined a Marine fleet just before the battle at Guadal- canal," Lieutenant Jacoby continued, "and soon after encountered some more Tokyo lead. At night we came upon a fleet of Jap ships off Guad- alcanal. In the little battlethat followed, our fleet sank two of their transports, four cruisers, four de- stroyers and several planes. Our ship was hit several times-shell hits, not torpedoes-and we were forced to go to Pearl Harbor for repairs. Lt. Jacoby Cares for Jap Prisoners "Before leaving the Guadalcanal area, we picked up ten Jap prisoners. A lieutenant commander and an avi- ator were hurt; I had to give medical attention to them," Lieutenant Jac- oby continued. "They are the same as anyone else under treatment," he added, "but their psychology and philosophy of life are different. It's like watching a new puppy, you can't. figure out what they are thinking. "At Pearl Harbor, I left the ship and did some work in the hospital there," he said, "and then we shipped back here." Lieutenant Jacoby was graduated from the University School of Medi- cine in 1938 and spent the next three years interning in Detroit. He Was a member of Sigma Chi, Phi Rho Sigma, Galens, and secretary of his sophomore class. Great Lakes Awaits FailingBluejackets It may be Great Lakes for any number of bluejackets of the V-12 unit at the end of five weeks of the summer semester. Any freshman in the training unit receiving a "D" in any course at the five-week report will be sent to "boot training" as an apprentice seaman at Great Lakes Training Station. Unscholarly attitude in class and disobedience of naval regulations will also disqualify members of the pro- gram from continuing their courses here. NROTC cadets and upperclassmen not receiving five-weeks grades will be held to the "D" ruling at semester grades.

As to residence, 25 states, two- thirds of which are east of the Mis- sissippi plus the District of Columbia, are named. New York with nine, Ohio with eight, California with seven are closely bunched at the top, trailed by Texas and Massachusetts with four each and Alabama, North Carolina and Louisiana with three each. Two residents are claimed by Oklahoma, Maryland, Kansas, Mis- -souri and the District of Columbia. As it the usual case with ques- tionnaires, facetiousness was not entirely absent. One humorist, in answer to a query re hobbies, states "outgrowneallrreportable ones, some others." Another re- plied to athletic experience: "Par- lor varieties recently." And as to' unusual experiences, a third fell back on his knowledge of the law, "I -plead -self incrimination," he wrote. Twenty-three of the officers either enlisted or were induct-ed as enlisted men and were thereafter recipients of commissions by appointment or as a result of attending officer can- didate schools in other branches of the service. In addition to the Judge Advocate General's Department, of- ficers assigned to the Signal Corps, Transportation Corps, Infantry and Air Corps are members of the class. Lt. Col. Visits JAG's Lt.-Col.

Cassidy, chif of the Asso- ciated Press Bureau in Moscow has watched twice while the (ermianis tried to hammer down the Russian Army without success. Planning his own return to Moscow, he says he will get there-hut that the new Nazi drive won't. By HENRY C. CASSIDY NEW YORK, July 6.--(/)-The Germans' third summer offen ive against Russia, although later than its predecessors and more limited in scope, can still present a strong threat to the Soviet Union and to the United Nations. The dangers are double-mili- tary and political. Militarily, the Wehrmacht can make a powerful effort to drain at least some of the offensive strength out of the Red Army before the Ger- mans are confronted by a second land front in Europe. Political StrainE PuIramount Politically, the new strain imposed upon the Soviet Union is renewing Russian anxiety over the absence of that second front, and may well bring to a head a fresh crisis among the United Nations. The military target is a tremen- dous one. On the basis of Soviet estimates, the Red Army has al- ready lost 4,200,000 men, dead or missing. But, on the basis of a potential mobilization of one-tenth of the population, or 19,300,000 men, the Red Army still has 15,- 100,000 men, almost four times as many as have been lost, a huge reservoir of defensive-and offen - sive-power. The political question can not be reduced to figures, but the editorial clamor for a second front, already arising in Russia, may exceed last year's polemics which brought Prime Minister Winston Churchill to Mos- cow. The victory in Tunisia, in Rus- sian eyes, can not compensate for another year of waiting, so far in vain, for another front in Europe. Drive Is Belated The drive which the Germans op- ened yesterday on the Orel-Kursk- Belgorod front comes just two weeks later in the year than the first gen- eral invasion of the Soviet Union War Bond Meeti To Be Held rooday A mass meeting for all women on campus interested in selling war stamps and bonds will be held at 5 p.m. today in the League, it was announced yesterday by Marcia Sharpe, '45, chairman of the drive. Graduate students are especially urged to come, Miss Sharpe stated, as their services are needed as well as those of undergraduates. An op- portunity will be provided at the meeting for the women to sign up on the various committees to sell stamps and bonds this summer. Among the committees are booths, league houses, dormitories, and sororities, and rep- resentatives from each will explain their respective duties. BLOOD BANK Registration for men in EnIgine Arch 8- 12 June 22, 1941, and the move last year against Stalingrad. The loss of those two weeks of summer campaign represents the price the Germans had to pay for their late winter counter-offensive which retook Kharkov, but which forced a change in the original German plans, concentrations and movements for this year. The offensive, however, is not too late to be serious. Two full months of hot, dry, weather-the conditions most favorable to German operations -lie ahead before the September rains come. That is time enough for the still-potent Wehrmacht to do a lot of damage. The fighting follows a pattern made familiar by last year's cam- paign. The Soviet communique last night, announcing the start of the battle, carried the customary phrases reporting attacks by large enemy forces and acknowledging wedges in the Red Army lines. The immediate German objec- tive, as it was a year ago, appears to be a break-through on a com- paratively narrow front, followed by a swift, knifing thrust into the depth of the Red Army defenses. Days or weeks. of. fighting would be required to force a. path through the Russian defense lines, if such a path can be made. F'- - --'--'---'-. -' -----. -- I The girls have IF , WHAT?
