TRAINING for Victory. the
i University of Detroit Is
throwing its every resource
into the war effort
Indicative OF the growing
influence Of the present strife
on the university program
was the hasty recall of Bud
Boeringer, football coach. Bud
is now assisting Eddie Bar
bour in whipping into con-
dition some $50 to 400 men
students who are enlisted in
the army, navy and marine
reserves.
1.-THE number varies from
day to day as more are called
into service. The total num-
Der has taken a big jump
since last semester, however,
when there were about $50 in
training" Barbour said.
These reservists will be
mentally as well as physically
fit, too, for the curncula
has been revised to prepare
students for wartime jobs.
Typical Of this program is the
course of study offered in the
electrical engineering depart
ment where graduates will
emerge ready TO take their
places in the Signal Corps.
Just as important a phase
of the wartime program is the
experiment and study carried
on by the various depart
ments. The wind tunnel is in
constant use for the benefit
of the government, and the
engineering college is also
carrying on extensive studies
in the strength of steel that
will be invaluable in the pro-
6uction of war machines.

1t Is natural barrier between
Corte and Corsica's largest city,
Bastia, which was used by the Ger
mans as an evacuation port. Across
this valley took place one OF
the dramatic battles of the war.
Italian tanks and infantry, only a
short time ago allies Of the Ger
mans. and COrSicas army of occu-
patton, turned with everything they
had on their former partners and
played major part in the liberia
ton of the island. At the same
time, their artillery was giving effec-
tive and indispensable support TO
the French advance on Bastia east
ward from st. Florent through the
blood-stained Teghime Pass farther
to the north.
Here We get little news from the
outside world and one wonders
whether the importance Of the con-
tribution of Gen. Giovanni Magli's
little army to the delivery of Corsica
has been underestimated. The num-
Der Of Italians engaged-and their
losses sometimes were heavy--was
quite close to that of the French
and the terrain they fought over
was similar. The cooperation was
by no means grudging. The Italians
fought largely because they wanted
to fight hated enemy, with whom
they had been forced reluctantly
to cooperate.
Italians Hated Nazis.
There had been very little contact
in Corsica between the Italians and
the Germans. Prior to September

Behind the Foreign News
BY BLAIR BOLLES.

One Of the wars thrill trips has
been the commercial journey by air
from England to Sweden. The pas
senger wondered constantly when a
shell from the cannon of Focke-
Wulf or Messerschmitt would hit
his plane.
Now the service has been sus-
pended temporarily because the
worst the passengers and the oper-
ators of the service feared has hap
pened. Friday night an unidenti-
fed combat plane shot down the
Sweden bound transport over the
Skaggerak, causing 13 deaths.
This correspondent made the trip
by air last spring from England to
Sweden and return. The flights
are shrouded in secrecy and mystery
because of the danger of attack.
Almost everybody on the journey
with me had some doubt whether
We would reach our destinations.
Attackers Identity Uncertain.
The tragedy of Friday night may
lead to new difficulties in Swedish
German relations, although the
news from London indicates lack
Of evidence that the fatal shots
came from German plane.
The maintenance of the service
has testified to the resourcefulness
of the SWedes and British in keep
ing open channel of communica-
.tions into Sweden, which lies inside
the outer bastions of the Nazi Euro
pean fortress.
The flights were no secret from
the Germans. because at Stockholm
the plane takes off from Bromma
TAirf1eld. Duetsche Lufthansa also
uses that field, and its representa-
tives know what is going on.
Several times before Fridays at
tack the plane has reached its des-
tination with bullet holes in the
wings or fuselage. Once bullets

Italian Tanks and Infantry Gave Vital Aid
To Allied Forces During Conquest of Corsica

Of Italian motorcycle infantry, in
recognition of the major services
Gen. Magli's army had rendered.
Their great battle ground was the
Colo Valley, There they stopped a
determined German counterattack
from Bastia and, with the rocky
chasm at their backs, pushed north
ward 1t would have been UNDER
standable if both officers and men
had taken the viewpoint that this
was not their war any more. Actu-
ally their morale was excellent and
they fought bravely and well.
Troops Are Praised.
High tribute is due the Italian
auxiliary troops who play such an
important part everywhere in this
war. 1t Gen. George S. Patton, jr.,
once referred to the Sicilian cam
paign, in which he commanded the
American forces, as a war of engi-
neers.' 1t was up to the American
engineers to build roads as fast as
the retiring Germans could demolish
them. They did miracles. In this
campaign the engineer troops were
Italians. To them also fell one the
dangerous job of mine detecting.
Naturally, in Corsica as in Sicily,
Germans had mined roads and
bridges and these mines had to be
removed. Italian engineers are ex-
pertS in this work The Italian sig
nal corps also took care of the battle
communications and the campaign
would have been practically impoS-
sible without Italian transport.
Their artillery was indispensable
in support of both their own and the
French infantry. On the road at
Patrimonio, I met one Italian artil-
lery officer who spoke English with
a decided oxford accent and actually
had studied there.
Perhaps the most confused OF all
the Italians were some infantry out
fits caught behind the German lines
near BaStia who worked their way
back into the French lines without
being sure-they had been cut of
from news for SO long-whether they
were not merely exchanging one
captor for another.
Now they are all being evacuated
and it is hard to find a happier lot
Of soldiers. They are proud Of hav-
ing played a worthy part In the war
against the Axis. Their relations
with the Corsicans seem extremely
friendly.

Roosevelt Informed
Senate Bloc Plans
To Kill Subsidies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
One of President Roosevelts long
standing friends on Capitol Hill has
cautioned him that a majority of
the Senate not only opposes con-
tinuation and expansion of the food
subsidy program, but apparently is
in the mood to pass antisubsidy
legislation even over his veto.
So tightly do the interests OF
Democratic Senators from the rural
South dovetail with those of the
Republicans from the Midwest farm
area, this laWmaker said, that it is
hard to imagine how the coalition
could be disrupted by anything the
President might say in his food price
subsidy message, which is expected
this week.
A bill forbidding subsidies to keep
down retail food prices already has
been approved by the House Bank
ing Committee and is expected to
be acted on by the House early next
month.
The bill continues the life of the
Commodity Credit Corp. from De-
cember 81 to July 1945, but does not
grant the extra s500,000 900 borrow
ing power which the administration
asked for the CCC. 1t also prohibits
fixing ceilings below support prices
Congressional rejection of the
subsidy ban was called for by the
National Lawyers Guild in a state
ment yesterday. The organization
declared that unless subsidies are
used to strengthen price control, the
stability of the Nations economy
will be threatened by constantly in
creaslng prices-''thus opening the
foodgates to imitation and en-
dangering the country's war effort"
The ill-advised action Of the
House Committee, unless reversed
by Congress, will cost consumers
from 10 to Is billion dollars, will
give impetus to wave of demands
for wage increases and start dis
astrous inflationary cycle" the guild
said
The Presidents -the-Gne or
der on the cost of living is at issue
in the developing battle. Price Ad-
ministration officials say it will be
impossible to roll back food prices
to the level of September IS, 1912,
without subsidies.
1t is likely that legislation to force
an increase in the price of milk may
be attached as a rider to the CCC
bill when it comes before the Sen
ate.

glanced frequently at the life raft
which occupied most of the space in
the planes rear.
Once the plane roared into a dive.
The scream Of the propellers filled
the plane and drowned the chill
dren's crying. The passengers ears
pounded. Then all was quite. The
pilot explained he had to drop from
$4,000 feet to 200 feet to keep his
cloud cover. No planes attacked that

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 25.-Live-
stock brokers expect nearly 10000
cattle to be received at the Kansas
City Stockyards today bringing the
total for eight days to 131 900.
This would be the heaviest run
tor a similar period since the great
drought of 1884 caused stockmen to
reduce their herds.
Most of the receipts have been
feeders to be sent to distant feed
lots for fattening and later resale.
Prices have been fairly even. In
some grades Of plain quality light
stock offering have been heavy and
resulted in drop of about Is cents
This has been largely offset, how
ever, by gains of Is to Is cents on
granted steers.
The run started last Monday with
receipts of 57,642, the largest num-
ber of cattle ever received at any
stockyard in one day.
Feed shortages, combined with
near-record numbers of cattle on
farms and ranges, we're cited by
stockmen as causes for the food.

there had been no German troops
officially on the island. 1t was under
italian occupation. The German
forces were concentrated in Sar-
dinia-about 10000 under Gen. Otto
Senger.
But with the end of the Stellar
campaign it was obvious to Gen
Senger that he must get his troops
out at once to save them With
the seas patroled by the Allied
navies, the only way was through
Corsica, and then by way of Elba
to the mainland. Using Bastia as
an evacuation port, with the fine
Borgo airfeld which could be used
as base for air cover a few miles
away, there were relatively short
distances of water to be covered in
those two hops.

to hold Corsica for its own strate-
glc importance, they alone know
The campaign became, from their
standpoint, one of bitterly fought
delaying actions to make possible
an orderly withdrawal of men and
materials.
Men Tired Of War.

the situation was, to say the least
confusing after the armistice. The
men were tired of war, of being In
a hostile country. For them selves

wanted to be demobilized as soor
as possible. Yet many of them &C

or having any very clear idea OF

When the course of action was
decided on there fell to the Ital-
ians the eastern sector of the drive
on Bastia while French troops
moved further to the west, captured
st. Florent and moved eastward
over the mountains to Bastia While
the Italians were moving on the
same objective from the south
There was good deal of infantry
action and one considerable tank
battle-they had the only tanks on
the island except for the German.

in Corsica short of Bastia itself
