Institute Of World
Economics, Politics
Planned For Postwar

President H. C. Byrd reveals that
the University of Maryland after
the war will establish an Institute
of World Economies and Politics,
designed to prepare Americans to
deal properly with foreign peoples
as diplomatic and business agents
of the United States.
Intensive courses will be taught,
he says, in foreign ideologies, poll
tics of foreign countries, natural
resources and languages ITO give
the students real knowledge of
the people they will deal with, buy
from and sell to-"
Another postwar development
for the University will be greater
emphasis on history, geography
and the English language. Stu
dents will be trained 30 speak and
write competently regardless of
what field of endeavor they plan
to enter.
The biggest department of phil
osophy in any Eastern university
is envisioned by DR.. Byrd for the
University of Maryland because
''in philosophical principles lies the
truth of things. The day of the
liberal arts college is just begin
ming, he thinks.
DIR. Byrd predicts that high
schools will need to teach more adj
vanced courses in the postwar
years to relieve colleges, most of
which now offer courses that be-
long to institutions on a lower
level.
"We must train boys who return
from the war to be competent lead
ers," President Byrd points out, de-
claring that eve have lost our
touch with fundamental things and
after the war we must return to
them"

Essential War
Work At Meade
For Civilians
Fort Meade Post Has Hun
dreds Of Openings For Both
Men And Women

You don't have to be in Army
uniform to do an essential war job
at Fort George G. Meade.
Hundreds of vital wartime posi-
tons are opening there. Post Head
quarters announced, as limited
service soldiers who used to 90 the
work are moved out to more active
duty. The list of jobs-ranging
from clerk-typists to truck driv-
ers and from PHOTOGRAPHIC clerks
to dental hygienists-covers both
skilled and unskilled occupations
and includes many positions espe-
cially suited to women.
Lieut.. c. F. Kelley, post per-
sonnet officer, pointed out that
Fort Meade is depending largely on
the people of neighboring commu-
mites to keep the wheels turning
as more and more soldiers leave
for overseas or other more strenu-
Gus service. Many of the jobs for
women, he hopes, can be filled by
those whose husbands already are
employed on the post.
Plans are under consideration,
officials said, for bus service to
and from adjacent towns. Fur
those who could not commute,
space is available in both mems
and women's civilian dormitories
on the post. There also are mess
halls, recreation rooms and cafe
terra service for civilian men and
women working here. A program Of
athletics and other organized forms
of recreation already is being
shaped.
Col. c. C. Stokely, post COM
mander, pointing out that civilians
are taking an increasingly import
ant part in the work of the post,
said that he and his staff are max
ing every effort to see that civilian
workers share fully in Fort Meade
life, including welfare and social
activities.
Among the part-time jobs open
are those of auto mechanic, cloth
ing and textile sewing machine
operators, shoe-shop workers, rife
and small-arms assembly laborers
and unskilled laborers. There are
similar openings on a full-time
basis, together with such positions
as truck driver, medical and dental
technician, duplicating machine
operator, laundry worker and dog
ems of others.
Working hours for the full-time
jobs are from to 4.30 daily, with
time and a half paid for work in
excess of 40 hours week. James
Walters, local representative of the
Civil Service Commission, is in
charge of interviewing applicants.
His office is in Building 202-B at
Fort Meade, on Cooper avenue near
Post Headquarters.

would ever happen.
They didn't tell her because they didn't
know either This act was never on any

She went overseas. Gave show after show
many of them to the accompaniment OF the
thunder of enemy guns.
Then one night she gave a show, and ~
usual. it was more than show. 1t was, TO
it's audience. a dream OF home come true.
Here was live lovely American girl -

A week later she was asked to visit the
wounded in d base hospital, and as she
passed between the long rows OF cots, a

GLEN ALLEN RETURNS
FROM TRIP IN STATES

Glen Allen, of the Thomas Hard
ware Company, has returned from
a seven weeks trip to the south,
where he visited relatives and
friends in West Coast Cities. The
weather was lovely, Mr. Allen re-
ports, except in Portland where it
was 102 degrees, which was little
too warm for comfort.
Accompanied by his daughter,
Betty who had never been south
before, he visited Empire Lake near
the Canadian Border and other re-
minders of his boyhooo days, many
of which had changed considerably
in fourteen years since his last trip
out.
In Spokane, Allen attended the
Northwest Moose Conference, and
while there had very unfortun-
ate experience. During registration
at the Conference he shook hands
with Joseph Pearce, auditor for the
Lodge who spent some time in Jul
neau last May. A few moments
later Mr.. Pearce dropped dead,
stricken with a heart attack. Ex-
cept for that tragic occurrence, the
Conference was very successful, AL

S9,655 WORTH
OF FURS ARE
SOLD, AUCTION

Purchased for the most part by
fur dealers in the city, 1865 in
confiscated furs were sold at public
auction yesterday by the Fish and
Wildlife Service.
The sale was held on the third
floor of the A. B. Hall and OPA
ceiling prices were observed in the
conduct of the auction.
Included in the list of pelts was
one raccoon, which, of considerable
interest is the fact that the animal
is not a native of Alaska but is one
that has been planted here and
has adapted itself to the area
around Ketchikan. In its new habi-
tation the raccoon has changed its
entire characteristic and in this part
of the country is now known as the
fisher raccoon.
The following is the listing of furs
sold yesterday: 27O beaver, SO mink,
"a muskrat, 5 blue fox, 5 cross fox,
8 white fox, 121 marten, wolver-
inc, 4 weasel, raccoon and 8 otter.

DANA0 HARB0R
IS RA!DED BY
PATROL PLANES
Eleven Planes Destroyed
al HaImahera : New
Blows at Philippines

GENERAL HEADQUARTERS IN
THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC, Aug.
-17-Danao. on the island of Min
danao, has been raided and eleven
planes at the Halmahera base have
been destroyed.
These attacks are new blows at
the Philippines.
Patrol planes attacked the wharf
area at Danao last Sunday and dam
age was done to this important port
from which the Japs formerly sent
a flow of troops and supplies to
Halmahera.
Halmahera is the stepping stone
from New Guinea to the Philippines.
That this great Jap base is being
neutralized is indicated in that no
attempt was made to intercept the
