 IGNORED TODAY
Associate Professor at Yale Receives Legion of
 Merit Award

New Haven, Conn, March Q - Lieutenant Colonel Norman I. Adams, Associate Professor of phy- Sics at Yale, today received from the War Department the award of The Legion of Merit for outstanding service in the field of physics. The presentation was made at q cere- mony which took place at Yale Uni- versity at 12 noon
 A brief address was given by Col onel R. V. D. Corput, Jr., after which the award was presented to Colonel Adams by Colonel Oscar c. Maier, (Yale M. s. '32) U. s. Signal Corps.
 Colonel Adams, who was the first member of the Yale faculty called for active duty in the present war, has, according to the citation, "dis- played initiative, imagination, and high technical proficiency in Solv- ing diverse and difiicult problems under his Jurisdiction and in Q very superior manner conducted research and development in the broad field of physics which resulted in the rapid completion of equipment for the Field Artillery, Army Air Forces and Signal Corps. His personal leadership of the groups under his control and his untiring efforts and devotion to duty resulted in many new items of signal equipment be- ing placed in the hands of the arm- ed forces In remarkably short time.''

 TWO VOTES FOR IKE"
 TOHN 0UNTHER, well-known for J his books, "Inside Europe" and "InSlde Asia," went inside again, this time to Sicily and Italy, to catch the before and after picture of the strategy used in the invasion Of Europe.
 His ID Day" (f1arpers: $3), diff. fering from his other volumes, is a personal account of covering tho front. It starts out with c trip to Africa Na Newfoundland and the British Isles. It takes you through Cairo, Up the pitted desert trail the British Eighth Army plowed In pursuit of RomInel, over Into Malta. the battered bulwark of the mid. Mediterranean, into Sicily, touches Italy just before the invasion, an6 traipses into Turkey.
 Gunther, like Reynolds, got right down into the dirt with the boys. He spent most of his time with the British Eighth, and he has nothing but admiration for Generals Alex. ander and Montgomery. Monty, Do 1t known, wasn't in such favor with his troops when he took them over as the Huns were at the gates of Alexandria. But the teetotaling firebrand from North Ireland now has the respect of every man Jack, in his army, and the results show 1t.
 Tn addition to vivid action scenes of the conditions on Malta anc Sicily, 0unther's chapter on Tur- key is enlightening. The Turks, uil- doubtedly, are Teaping a golden harvest from the war. But despite the riches, they long for 1t to end, and pray they will never have to get into 1t. And about the queeress sight you'll ever see, says Gunther, Is the way the diplomats of tho warning countries fall over theEa- selves in trying to dodge one an- other at command entertainments.
 Again like Reynolds, 0unther IS proiuse in his praise Of Eisenhower. You get the idea that If we have a guy like that ct the head of the European war theater, our fellows just can't lose.

BOARD BACKS
 SCHOOL HEAD
Bristol Principal, Harry Williamson, Carries $S,.
 900 Liability Insurance

Bristol, March e-Justice Newell Jennings of the Supreme Court of Errors and chairman of the Bristol board of education at a meeting of the board Wednesday night de- scribed the $9l40 judgment upheld Tuesday by the supreme court against Harry D. Williamson. prin- cipal of Sarah E. Reynolds school as "a most unfortunate affair"
 Justice Jennings disqualified him. self from sitting on the courts re- view of Superior Court Judge Pat rick B. O'Sullivans decision in awarding the judgment to Donald Galway, l3, 8 pupil at the school for injuries as the result of disci- plinary action taken by the princi- pal April IS, l94l, when the plain tiff was 10 years old.
 The board of education on motion of Commissioner Joseph P. O'Con- nell, state public utilities commis- sioner, reaffirmed it's support Of Principal Williamson, @ stand orig inally taken when the superior court verdict was announced Q year ago This action followed a review of the case by Justice Jennings, who pre- sented the board copy of the su- preme court decision. He said he f knew nothing of the decision until he read 1t in the papers.
 It was learned from Supertntend- ent of Schools Karl A. Reiche that MT. Williamson as well as half of the teachers in Bristol, including MT. Reiche himself, carries an ir- surance policy covering cases of this nature up to liability of $5000, Asked if the board of education or the city was liable for any part of the judgment, Justice Jennings re- piled, "They didn't sue us."
 Mir. williamson said Wednesday that he would not know what his next move would Do until he con- ferred with his counsel.
 Justice Jennings In his review to the board explained that at the time of the superior court decision the board appointed c committee to investigate the case to decide whether the Forestville school prin. cipal should be offered Q renewal oi his contract. After reading the tes- timony In the case and interview ing a number of persons directly and indirectly concerned, MT. William sons retention was recommended the jurist continued.
 The supreme court decision, Jus. tioe Jennings said, has "created @ lot of publicity, but does not alter the facts in the case" The supreme court, he explained, was not inter- ested in the facts of the case, but only aS to whether an error had been made in the interpretation Of the law.

Chungking, March 9-"Everyone in Hongkong will die," said the Japanese soldier. All the Chinese will die of starvation, and all the Japanese will fight until they are killed"
 These words were spoken to a Chinese businessman who later es- capped from Hong Kong, where food was growing scarce by the day and the Japanese were increasingly ner- vous over the success of the Allies,
 The businessman told of the con- versation, after he reached western China, as an illustration of the de- clining morale of the Japanese troops stationed in China and of the hardshipS of the Chinese people in the territory occupied by the Japanese.
 The Japanese have so thoroughly stripped some sections of occupied China of food and other necessities that they are called "the Locust Army" This phrase can be safely used in the presence of the Jap. anese because the words locust" and imperial in Chinese sound the same, though written with different characters.
 NEWS IS PLENTIFUL
 News of conditions in enemy occupied territory reaches Chung king frequently through government sources of information, stories told by refugee civilians and, occasion ally, through the reports of prison- ersr who have escaped from Japa- nese prison camps. There are not many of the latter because the Jap anese will most of the men they capture.
 All of these accounts concern starvation and semi-starvation be- cause of Japanese seizures of food, the spread of the opium and heroin traffic, the Jap attempts to break the morale of the Chinese, Jap transportation difficulties because of shipping losses and the activities Of Chinese gucrrillas, the lack of anything but propaganda in the
