Engineers Fight
As laps Attack
BY FRANK HEWLETT

AT AN ALLIED ADVANCED
BASE SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUI-
MA. Sept. 18 (UP) Army
engineers threw down their Shovels,
grabbed rifles anu helped the Aus
tralianS win the battle of Milne bay.
They followed a tradition which
American engineers established in
the World war. cropping their main
tenance work to aid the British in
Flanders at a critical hour in 1917.
Technician Fifth Grade Isadore
Gengler, Beloit, Kan, a company
cook, was killed in the action, the
first American casualty in land ac-
ton in New Guinea.
The engineers were in the Milne
ba" airdrome area, under Maj. Lud-
low Adams, ClaXton, Ga, formerly
of the Georgia highway commission,
when the Japanese attacked.
Most of them are selectees, many
of them farmers sons from Kansas,
Minnesota, Missouri, and Arkansas.

Women Object to
Niqht Shift Work

WASHINGTON, Sept 28-UP)-
Director Mary Anderson of the
labor departments women's bureau
appealed today for employment of
women workers on night shifts
only as an emergency measure to
prevent overtime on day shifts.
"Women workers, speaking from
their own experience, object to fire.
quent change of shifts because it
upsets their eating and sleeping
schedules" she said in a report on
night work for women workers.
Women with family responsibilities
find it hard to arrange for the
care of their families and children,
harder still to get someone to do
thig.
"Cn the other hand, there is OBJ
lection to permanent night sched-
ules because the workers seldom
get sufficient sleep during the day
and health and efficiency are SER
iously ldermined."

When a person rides around on a cater.

well-Slightly goofy. AS for me, | am
Just plain dumb. 1t must be so. because:
A friend. from the Seeley airport, said
while ago. How many hours do you
work. Twelve. How much do you get?'
A fair amount. DO you drive your own

come over to the airport. There tractor
man gets a dOllar-forty seven and half
cents an hour He works only eight hours,
or, if he works more, he's paid for time

is concerned directly with the production
of foodstuffs, than which, it seems to me,
hardly is more important at this time
There are a lot of my agricultural
friends and neghborS in the same boat.
They don't go into heroics over it. There
is Job to be done, and we are all try
ing to the best of our individual abilities
to do it. We don't blame the fellows who
desert us to go into defense work, but
somehow the thought filters through
sometimes that it may be as much for love
of gain as it is for love OF country =.
This labor shortage stares us in the
face, we see dairy cows being sold to the
slaughter pens, vegetable growers hesitat
ing to lease land, crops Delng plowed un-
der At the same time a controversy goes
on in Washington over parity prices for
farm crops, and our farmers friend, the
President with all due respect) fights
with might and main to defeat a bill de-
signed to give us fair deal, which we
consider wise and justifiable. He asks
for the power to regulate wages. If and
when he gets that, judging by precedent
we somehow feel that it still will be a case
of patting little, fair haired Labor Boy on
the back, tucking him smugly up in bed
and soothing him into sweet slumber
with the sweet lullaby: go to sleep dar
ling and don't you fret; because wise old
papa fixes wages yet"

A Soviet gain was reported In
the Mozdok area of the eastern
Caucasus, where the Germans were
trying to drive toward the Grozny
oil fields. Earlier, a German ad-
vance was reported in that area.
"In the Mozdok area, one OF our
units in stubborn fighting destroyed
four German tanks and wiped out
more than a company OF enemy
infantry" the noon communique
said. "A group of our men occu-

35TH DAY
The German task was urgent, be-
cause Marshal Semyon Timoshenko
was driving down from the north
west in a counter-cffenSive. The
noon communique reported that D.
900 more Germans had been killed
northwest of Stalingrad, a total OF
$500 officially reported killed IN
that area in the last "A hours.
1t was the 35th day of the battle
in which 100000 Germans using
thousands of tanks and planes were
engaged An analysis OF SOVIET
communiques showed that total
of $4,000 Germans and their vas
sails were killed at Stalingrad the
first 26 days of September, and
that the enemy lost 1880 tanks.
Soviet communicates last midnight
and at noon today reported the

The fortreSses struck at Buna and
the neighboring enemy base at the
Coma Mission. In two raides they
bombed supply installations, barges
and airdrome defenseS.
JAPS VULNERABLE
Fighters machinegunned and cam
nonaded supply buildings and sheds
in the same area and started fires.
Attack planes bombed the enemy
supply lines on the Port MoreSby
side of the mountains, where the
Japanese were now in position vul-
nerable to airplane attack.
The ground situation around lori

with Australian and japanese pa
trolls in contact and the new Allied

main positions.
Two to three japanese planes
dropped bombs in swamp and IN
brushland near Darwin, in northern
Australia last night. 1t was the
third straight night in which from
two to three enemy planes had
made feeble and ineffective raids

1t was pointed out here that
Stalingrad is much longer than it
is wide and that the NaziS are at

at several points to cut off and iso-

The Nazis have reported that
they have reached the Volga sew

been driven between the Russian
forces in various parts of the city,
Some of the most furious air bat
ties of the war were reported rag
inc over Stalingrad as the NaziS
continued their campaign to pulver-
ize the city block by block. Russian
fighter squadrons were attacking
the Nazi bomber formations con-
stantly but we're heavily handicap

the air.
1t was reported here that TWO
Stalingrad streets had been recap

IF THEY'RE NOT STOPPED,
THEY WILL BE BACK

Un-American teaching in our univer
sites and colleges is highly dangerous to
: the teacher these days, so that goodly
part of it has been dropped-for the dur
alton Unless something is done to stop
it-unless the un-American instructors
are gotten rid of-they will be back as
soon as the war is over, boring away at
the foundations Of American life in the
= same old way.
DR.. Murphy did not say as much. He
was not editorializing on Americanlsm;
his was a professional discourse on the
teaching of journalism. But, whether
it affects journalism of any other phase
of life, the danger is apparent.
Students attending college should have
: the right to believe that their instructors
are of above average intelligence. Believ-
ing this, as many OF them do, they almost
automatically adopt as their own the
. theories of these instructors. When the
instructor is in reality a half baked
theorist blind to everything that is good
in America and equally blind to every
thing that is bad in some European ism,
. the danger to America is apparent.
Some of these college instructors men
toned by DR.. Murphy are little better
|, than soap-box orators. The danger is
that they do not appear in their true
guse, but as imparters of learning, and
in that guse they have plentiful oppOr-
tunity to direct the trend of thought for
future generations.
1t is not enough that instructors Of
this type be driven underground by the
war. They must be eliminated entirely.

IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO
DRIVE THEM UNDERGROUND

In quiet ana Scnolarly manner, through
a medium of limited circulation, one of
Americas foremost educators recently
wrote some paragraphs which are of vital
importance to every American who be-
lieves in the American way of life.
The gist of what he wrote, put bluntly
in our own words, was that great many
college instructors in this country in re-
cent years have taught their pupils to
scorn Amercanism.
The educator was Lawrence w. Muir
ply of the University of Illinois, former
president of the American Association
of Schools and Departments of Journal
ism, and of the American Association of
Teachers of Journalism, and for several
years chairman of the National Council
on Education for Journalism. He was
writing in the newspaperman's trade
journal Editor and Publisher, as a guest
columnist for veteran Editor Arthur T.
Robb. He was not discussing American
ism in particular, but the modern trend
in education for journalism.
. Down in the middle of the column, he
said
incidentally, one effect of the war has
. been to show why teachers of journalism
. have not given indiscriminate support
to SO-called social science courses IN the
universities and colleges. 1t is now appar-
ent that many courses taught as Ameri-
can history, American government and
politics, American economics and Ameri-
can sociology were producing graduates
who were highly critical of American
institutions rather than appreciative and
tolerant of them. Teachers of journalism
have been aware of this situation for
years and have avoided sending students
into many social science courses whose
names were misleading. They have been
wary of many courses of general char
acter in political science and sociology
and of a considerable number in economics
and history. These curses, ust like schol-
arships and research have been used to
discredit American achievements and in
stitutions and traditions and to teach i'll
supported theories in the guise of facts
and findings :.

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Sept. %. (UP)-Boeing
Flying FortreSses of the United
States Army air force have hit and
probably sunk a 15,000-ton japanese
merchantmen, one of the largest
ever seen in General Douglas Mac
Arthur's zone, in an attack on the
enemy base at Rabaul, New Britain
Island, it was announced today.
The great fortrcSses attacked Ra
baul harbor at dawn, descending to
medium altitude for better sight
ing.
They picked out the merchantmen
as the. biggest target and scored
at least one direct hit on it and
one near miss.
4TH STRAIGHT DAY
When the crews last saw the ship
columns of heavy black smoke, ris-
ing 300 feet from its stern and
amidships, we're enveloping it and
a headquarters spokesman said it
was reasonable to speculate that
the ship had gone down.
1t was the fourth straight day of
attack by the fortresSeS on the
biggest enemy base in the Austral-
ian zone.
In three previous days, the fort
resses had probably sunk an 5000
ton ship, hit a medium sized ship,
scored hit with a 1000 pound
bomb on another medium-sized ship
and made direct hit on a third.
In addition, medium bombers on
Saturday destroyed a medium sized
enemy transport off the Trobriand
islands off the southeast tip of New
Guinea.
SUPPLY LINE HIT
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's med
ium bombing planes made a new
attack yesterday on the japanese
air field at Buih, in southern Bou-
gainville island, which is becoming
the biggest japanese base in the
Solomons. Results could not be OBJ
served because of darkness.
Fortresses, attack bombers and
fighters joined in the 14th straight
day of attack on japanese supply
lines between Buna, on the north
New Guinea coast, and the Ioribai

Germans Claim Sub
Attacks Fatal to
U.S.. Troop Convoy

BERLIN, Sept. %. German broad
cast recorded in London by UP
A special high command communl-

can troop convoy en- route to Great
Britain.
The submarines engaged a fast
sailing convoy comprising only a
few large passenger steamers, strong
ly protected and laden with troops
munitions and war materials, the

During attacks and pursuit last
ing several days submarines sank
a 10000 ton steamer of Viceroy OF
India type, which turned over after
it was torpedoed three times.
In addition they sank a 1900
ton steamer of Queen of the Pacific
type which was torpedoed twice ana

IAN 11,OOO-ton transport of Derby
shire type and a destroyer OF the
escort also were sunk.
Two more transports were dam
aged by torpedoes.

VANISHING PASS
berkeley Gazette)

Another fading institution seems to
be the railroad pass Years ago railroads
lavished passes freely, not merely on
their employees, but on anyone who might
be in position to help the road in return.
SO many legislators and other public
men got passes that it became scandal,
and laws had to be passed forbidding the
practice.
Passes remained of course, for en-
ployes. One of the pleasantest features
of working for a railroad has been the
opportunity it gave for free vacation
transport not only on the riders line but
on the other roads.
Now railroad travel for pleasure is be-
coming outlawed. By the latest develop
ment, some Western roads have asked
their employees not to use their passes
unless the travel is strictly necessary.
Soon one of the rarest sights of a con-
ductor's eye will be railroad pass pre-
sented for fare.

HEADQUARTERS, Solomon Islands,
Sept Is. Delayed - (UP) - The
United States Marines, often out
numbered 10 to II have beaten off
the biggest japanese attack since
they invaded the SolomonS nearly
six weeks ago.
For two days the japanese attack
ed with everything they had, by land
sea and air.
They have lost many hundreds of
dead and at least 80 planes. Their
picked assault troops who were sup
posed to have won back the air field
which is the key Marine position
are back in the jungle, and the
Marine position remains secure.
The enemy tried every trick in
his bag. japanese troops attacked
frontally, yelling "Banzai!" in an
attempt to overwhelm badly out
Marine posts. They threw
up smoke screens and yelled in Eng
liSh gas attack" hoping to confuse
the defenders.
