Elimination of the fraternity and
sorority houses, Gov. Darden con-
tended, would contribute immeas-
urably to the spirit and unity of
the student body as a whole" and
would relieve parents of an added
financial burden arising "in large
part from the maintenance of sep
arate Establishments.
The Governor also suggested that
the keeping of automobiles by stu
dents be prohibited.
Il think that this should be
adopted as a general rule" the
Governor said, because of the ex-
pense involved and for the further
reason that their use interferes un-
duly with school work.

In New York, to Be
New Ambassador

DR.. HUI Shih. who is going back
to Chungking after serving as Chi
nese Ambassador to the United
States for four years, paid fare
well visit to President Roosevelt to-
day and said the Chief Executive
made some "very gracious remarks"
which made him feel happy.
DR.. HUI is to be succeeded by Wei
| Tao-min, who is now in New York
| Mr.. Wei was once mayor of Nam
king, Chinese Minister of Justice
and attorney general French -edu-
Gated, he technically has the title of
ambassador to Vichy, but he has not
been to Vichy since his appointment
| there.
DR.. HUI, who presented his cre-
dentials to President Roosevelt Oc-
tober %, 1888, said 1t would be sew
eral weeks before he returns to
China because he will need a check
up for heart ailment before he
undertakes the long air trip to
Chungking.
The Office of DR.. T. " Soong, Chi
nese Foreign Minister, whose head
quarters are in Washington, earlier
| today confirmed reports of the AM
bassadorS recall. but nothing was
announced about the future duties
of DR.. HUI, who came to Washington
| after a long career as a scholar and
educator. q,
Mr.. Wei Studied in Paris.
The Ambassador designate, law
yer, took his postgraduate work in
law at the University of Paris,
where Mrs. Wei also studied. She
had an appointment for time on
the special court in the Shanghai
French concession.
Dr. Hu's special function in the
i United States has been to spread
among the American people an ap-
probation of China's right in the
fight with Japan and an under
standing of the Chinese inner strug-
gle for unity.
The retiring Ambassador has be-
come popular speaker. He came
here with a knowledge of America,
for he had spent seven years as a
student at Cornell and Columbia
and as lecturer and writer. He
is now 81.
Intellectual Leader.
DR.. HUI had difficulties, however,
in obtaining the loans and materials
needed by China for the conduct of
the war before she had any allies
in the East. This fact was one of
the considerations which led to DR..
Soong's coming to Washington.
In China Dr. HUI was one of the
leaders in the intellectual phase of
the revolutionary movement during
the past 80 years which was climaxed
by the triumph of Chang Kai-shek
in 1927 and the progress of his re-
gime. He was the first poet in China
who wrote his verse in the common
language and he had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the literary revolu-
ton make the common tongue the
Chinese national language.

u. S. Planes Score Direct Hits
In Attacks on RonmeI Forces
Americans and South Africans Engage in
Running Dogfght With Nuzi Aircraft

bombers. Their biggest encounter
came this Tuesday morning when,
as they we're protecting dozen
bombers, they ran into bigger
Junker formation and tangled with
its fighter escort.
The Americans and South Africans
kept the enemy fighters away from
our bombers and engaged in a
running dogfight with them which
continued for some time.
Three Messerschmitts were de-
stroyed and several others damaged.
Four Allied fighters. including one
piloted by an American, did not
return, but at least one of the pilots
was seen descending by parachute.
Last night Monday RAF and
American air force night bombers.
including Liberators, hammered at
the enemy in one of the heaviest
nights of bombing ever put on in
the Near East. More than so fires
were started and this morning more
than so enemy vehicles, most of
them burned out or disintegrated
were observed near the main bat
tie area.
Night Bombing by Enemy
The enemy also put on some night
bombing. Though on a smaller scale
than the Allied effort, it was suffi-
cient to give us an uncomfortable
night as we crouched in slit trenches
for three hours and watched the
flares.
The American Air Force planes
were being maintained and loaded
with bombs by American ground
crewmen who have just arrived in
the desert.
The Americans have been eating
at a South African mess, but today
they had their first meal in their
own mess, just established.
There was nothing distinctly
American about the meal. They are
drawing British army rations and
the cost of these will be charged
to the United States in the lease
lend accounts. Some of this food
including canned potatoes and
canned bacon, came here from the
United States in the lease lend pro-
gram.

Although Alaska has been assured for the time be- ing that there will be raoning of sugar the Terri tory the picture is vastly different in the States Soon only much of the sweet stuff per person will be all lowed per month Whether not sugar rationing ever will come to Alaska question that cant be answer cd vet And whether not the rationing of sugar in the States will reach point where the lack of it will cause discomfort and going without also is something for the future to decide
 The curallment of sugar imports to the United Stat eS, plus the need for sugar from which to make pure alcohol for high explosives the two main sons for the apparent shortage If this shortage becom- es really acute it looks if the prohbitionsts go- ing 10 have something to argue about, and the first thing we know we'll be arguing again the ques- ton that the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment was supposed to have settled.
 It seems inadvisable to that America should have to fight this thing out again. especially right at the time that we're fighting war Nevertheless, sprink- lngs from the non-alcoholcs beginning to appear in print.
 It is pointed out that it would be perfectly feasible for the government to take the hard liquor which is now in storage, redistill it and use the alcohol for for production It is also pointed out that rather than to curail the of sugar 1t would be farer to curtal the sale of liquor
 It is estimated that we have approximately 2375,- 100000 gallons of 100 proof alcoholic hard liquor in storage the present time There is no question but what the pure alcohol in this amount would contribute SlZeaoly to the war program

Wheat Belt Calls On Women

Dodge Citv. Kan, - Farmers in the Wheat Belt, where the labor shortage may be acute at harvest tune because of the drain of and war industries on the young men, will depend on women and girls rather than on enemy aliens The proposal that the Pacific Coasts Japanese be sent to the hard wheat area to meet the labor shortage has received cold welcome arm CTS says they would rather get along with whatever emergency labor they obtain. They are suspicious of all Japanese since Pearl Harbor and some of the beet rasers who usually employ migrant labor say they will draw the line at Japanese labor this season.
 W. w. Is Recalled
 Objection to foreign labor in the Wheat Belt ante dates the present Kansas farmers, at least have been suspicious of migratory labor since the w w. tried to organize the harvest hand army thirty years ago. when most of the wheat cut by binder and required imported labor to gather the bundles. The l. w. w. was accused of sabotagng the crop then in it's effort to have wages increased. The migratory labor need in this area has decreased with the coming of the combination harvester threSher and a normal crop is handled by the local labor.
 The harvest this year, however, will find the farm labor reduced to the proportions of the first World War days The prospect would be serious this great rural areas women unskilled in the of power machinery. But this is not the case There IS hardly farmers wife who cannot operate a tractor combine In normal years when the labor supply is adequate the younger girls the farm drive wheat trucks to the elevator and often the crops harvested and threshed without extra labor.
 Emergency Measures
 This year the farmers contemplated labor short age they reported their plight and throughout the wheat area high school classes, club women, Legion auxiliary members and other women in the towns ganiZed labor battaons for the emergency The farm welcome this labor because most of the women and girls have come from the nearby farms and harvest routine is not new to them.
 Because of this labor supply the wheat farmers at least show scant interest in proposals to bring city reared young women into the fields They continue to be puzzled over the failure of city folk to realize that farm routine calls for special training and say that if the local women labor supply is not adequate in pinch they take boys and make them worth their salt in few days They doubt if farmerettes would be helpful and do not intend to encourage a mass migration of young to their farms unless conditions become worse than they think they are going to be.
