Ice In the armed forces = opened
here today at the home Of one Of
the nations four Navy Prefiight
schools.
The new University division, one
Of the first In the country to begin
operation, was established nearly
two months ago on the heels Of
President RooseveIt's announce
ment that each male citizen must
register for selective service on his
18th birthday.
University authorities said classes
would being February / to enable
qualified students to transfer with
out delay from the first semester Of
for three months.
Under Military Discipline
During the 00-day period, just
before induction for many students,
the youths will live and work to-
gether under military discipline,
studying courses directly related to
modern warfare. Adults and youths
less likely to be drafted will con-
centrate on subjects Important to
civilian war activities.
Dean Francis r. Bradshaw, d.
rector Of the college, said the aim
Of the program us to send into the
armed services, civil life and gov
eminent service more rapidly young
people who are trained specifically
and especially to perform new tasks
created by the war;" and to give
war-bound youths O taste Of col.
lege education they may resume
later. Applicants able to pass the
entrance examinations will be ad-
mitted regardless Of graduation
from high school, he said, and those
who remain or transfer from the
university proper with suficient
credits ultimately may obtain q
bachelor or masters degree "in war
training"
The newly -inaugurated training
stresses the sciences especially
the applied sciences mathematics,
oral and written English, the Amer
lean way Of life, the care and oper-
alton of automotive and radio
equipment, the techniques Of lead
ership, physical condition and mill
tary psychology.
T"The fee scale is being worked
out now" Bradshaw said, "but tut
ton and fees for the first class will
be neither higher nor lower than
they are at present for other uni
versity departments. They will be
on q fiat overall basis rather than
on a semester hour basis, however"
|. If the program proves successful
here, he added, similar courses may
be installed at other institutions
throughout the nation.

goods IN FAVOR
| OF DRAFT PLANS
Believe Women Should
Serve With Armed, De-
tense, Civilian Units

Drafting" Of women for work
with the armed services and de-
tense and vital civilian industries
was recommended today by the
majority of goods Of High Point
College in North Carolina.
One Of the smaller colleges Of
the 1876 institutions Of higher learn
ing controlled by the Methodist
Board Of Education, High Point
has a total enrolment of 200 girls
and 252 boys.
While the goods are overwhelm-
ing1y in favor Of compulsory service
for women in any capacity deemed
necessary by the government, the
men students are less emphatic.
The girls recommend that all
women without home responsible
ties and physically able be employ
ed in some branch Of war work.
More than 275 members Of the
student body recommend that male
strikers in defense plants, At for
military service be drafted inmedi-
ately, regardless of status. They also
suggest that men and women unfit
for such service be punished by law
for striking in defense plants.
The college last year Joined with
other Methodist schools in gearing
llp Its curriculum to enable stu
dents to complete the full academic
schedule in three years. 1t also
added a number Of courses best
suited to qualify the students for
war and postwar responsibilities.
AS a result, those members Of the
enlisted reserves who will shortly
be leaving for active service are
well prepared for the branches Of
the armed forces to which they will
be assigned.

Gently received the highest clear

GRANT ULTIMATUM
DELIVERED 1862
Roosevelt Refers to I'm.
conditional Surrender
Words OF Famous Gen.

New York, Jan. 81 -(UP)-- The
unconditional surrender" ultima
turn Of Gen. Ulysses s. Grant, re-
ferred to by President Roosevelt in
his announcement Of United Ma
lions aims, was delivered to a
strong Confederate force which he
had trapped at Fort Donelson,
Tenn, on Feb. 16, 1862.
Grant was a brigadier general
then but soon afterward was pro-
NOTED to major general. He had
been given a large force by Gen. H.
w. Halleck and ordered to clear the
lower. reaches Of the Cumberland
and Tennessee rivers for the Union
army.
In his memoirs Grant wrote that
the Confederates never admitted
that Fort Donelson contained more
than 1900 men but he argued that
this must be an underestimate. I"
He attacked with $1,000. The Con-
federate forces defended themselves
brilliantly for a day but by the
10th 1t was obvious that they could
not eXtricate themselves.
On that day Brig. Gen. s. b.
Buckner of the Confederate army
dispatched to Grant a letter pro-
posing that he appoint commits
sioners to agree upon terms Of ca
pitulation Of the forces and fort
under my command, and in that
view suggest an arrnistice until ~
o'clock today"
Grants brusque reply almost
broke the friendship he had en-
joyed with General Buckner, with
whom he had studied at West
Point.
mo terms except an tncondi-
tional and immediate surrender can
be accepted" he responded. II pro-
pose to move Immediately upon
your works"
General Buckner replied:
1.-THE distribution Of the forces
under my command, incident to an
unexpected change Of commanders
and the overwhelming force under
your command, compel me. not
withstanding the brilliant success OF
the Confederate arms yesterday, to
accept the ungenerous and UNI
chivalrous terms which you pro-
pose."
After the capitulation. however,
Grant and Buckner got together
and enjoyed q conversation which

mfr. winston Roosevelt Curtin
that's the tag an oratorical admir-
er pinned on the Prime Minister Of
Australia q few months ago.
The tag didn't stick. There
simply aren't enough traits in COM
mon between plain, plain-spoken
Jack" urtin-ex-printer's devil,
exporters hand, ex-union hench-
man-a1ld the two smooth political
aristocrats Of. Downing street and
Pennsylvania avenue.
But the idea behind the COM
posite name did stick, after q
fashion. The idea was that the
Commemorative slight, profess
sorial-appearing chief executive
must now be recognized as a
world figure and as a surprising
ly inspired and inspiring wartime
leader. And he doesn't ned to
be labeled another Churchill"
or another F. D. r.. He can
stand on his own legs. He always
has. .... .
However, few Of his, country
men UP to year ago saw Jack
Curtin as other than an honest
and level-headed labor chieftain,
a wheel-horse politician, a reti-
cent man notable more for his
party Royalties than for qualities
of real leadership. So he aston
ished friends and critics alike
when he moved dynamically and
assuredly into his stern role as
Australia's Man Of Destiny.
NO SUICIDE SQUADS
1.-THE fall Of Singapore is Aus
tralia's Dunkirk," he Solemnly
warned his countrymen after that
Malayan disaster. "Our honey
moon Is finished: It is now work

And to work in the the p. MS
ornate office went Jack Curtin
hinself-in his Shirt-sleeves, US
ually; seven days a week, and al
most all the waking hours Of each
day.
No time, now, for slow walks
through Canberra's broad, tree
fringed boulevards, INDUCING in
political chit-chat with his GRO
MES. Little time to spend at
home with his wife and two chill
dren. Just work, and more work.
First, he put the critics-for-
criticism in their places.
IT am not going to make our
fighting men mere suicide squads
to satisfy talkative armchair
strategists," he sharply informed
political opponents who were
yelling for offensives when they
knew offensives were being under+
taken" And-"I shall say nothing
Of our war plans. The enemy al
ready knows too much, due to long
years of loose talking and thinking
and irresponsible criticism"
CLICKS WITH MACARTHUR
But Australians listen when
ever lifetime civiliar Jack Curtin
does speak militarily. They re-
call that for many years he has
demanded strong home defense

in which Australia could contrib
