 He is big Dan Driscoll, majority leader of our board of aldermen, who recalled many pleasant episodes of his life at Wooster when Cavan- augh was the coach. Columbia Lou Little, one of the five top coaches of the country now, was a team mate of Driscoll's at Wooster un- der Cavanaugh, about 1913. AS for the movie version of "the Iron Major it was thrilling in spots to Dan and all of us who knew anything about the late Frank Cav anaugh of Holy Cross, Fordham and B. 0. for Pat O'Brien does grand job on the screen in such role which he studied very hard and travelled very much to perfect be- fore he spoke line of the dialogue.

Dixon, Australian minister Of the

veterans Of Southwest Pacific fight
ing have exploded the myth of jap
anese invincibility and death-defy-
ing courage.
Speaking at luncheon sponsored
jointly by the English-speaking
union and British war relief, Dixon
said officers returned from jungle
fighting in Salamaua had labeled
as false tales of Japanese indomin-
liability.
THE campaign. proved conclu-
sively the superiority Of Australian
troops and it showed that the jun
gle could be mastered" Dixon said.
"The suggested invincibility of the
Japanese soldier was exposed as a
myth-he displayed no desire to
Join his honorable ancestors In the
next world"
He said actual combat with jap
anese forces had instilled in AUS
tralian and Allied fighters a pro-
found feeling of contempt for the
treacherouS enemy.
Dixon revealed that Australia was
feeding herself, the American army
based in the Southwest Pacific and
exporting produce to Great Britain.
He also disclosed that the conti-

greater calamity could befall a

Bishop Oman, who heads Meth

fact that dictatorS seize 1t upon

"A controlled press is essential to
a dictatorship" he said. "A free
press Is q necessity In democracy
THE American Press Is a private
" owned enterprise, rendering nee
essary service to the community

BY q code Of ethics, but existing
primarily to make q profit for It's

enterprise, guaranteed the civil lib
erty which we refer to as the free
dom Of the press and allowed to
eyaluate critically policies OF gov
eminent, as well as report the

After asserting loss Of free
press would be calamity he
added:
However, certain obligations at
tach to this freedom. With full tri-
butte to those great papers that re-
spect their obligations, there are
those that VIGOROUSLY abuse their
