Army Sets High Standard
For R0TC Professors

Only Regular Army officers OF
"the highest professional caliber
with permanent rank from major
to colonel will be assigned as pro-
fessors Of military science and tao
tics on ROTC duty at the Ma
tion's colleges and universities, the
War Department ruled yesterday.
To assure continuous flow of
reserve officers Of high standards
the War Department, after consul
tation with military and civilian
educators, established a rigid set of
qualifications for the officers who
are to head the ROTC training.
In general, no officer will be as
signed as professor who is beyond
his 55th birthday, who is not a
college or West Point graduate, and
who has not been graduated from
the Army's Command and General
Staff School or its equivalent. AT
least IL months overseas duty since
Pearl Harbor was fixed as an addi-
tional qualification.
The selection of assistants as
signed to ROTC will be governed by
the same standards, except that
they may be in the grade of first
lieutenant to colonel, with at least
three years active commission
service. Assistants also may be Sc
lected from officers who are not in
the Regular Army if they agree to
continue on active duty for an un-
limited length of time or until June
80. 1947, and have applied for COM
missions in the Regular Army. The

Chinese economists in the know say

old-established White Russian trad

| Puppy Settles
| Identity Of Dog
| In ArQument
BY the Associoisd Pres.

CHICAGO, Mar. 9.-When a g.
month-old puppy brings home its
lost mother-that's new, even in
Chicago.
The pup didn't do all the work, but
it deserves credit for settling an
argument that developed between
two families when, a lost female
German shepherd dog was taken to
an animal shelter.
One family claimed the dog was
their Mickey, age g.; the other stoutly
insisted her name was Patsy and
she was only 4.
Then last night, Joseph Freedan
one of the claimants, took the puppy
to the shelter. The young one let
out one yelp and dashed to its
mothers side.
That, plus a veterinarians dag
nosis that the shepherd was 4 years
old and a recent mother, settled
the matter, and Patsy went home
again to her litter.

Antique Dealer Found Slain

BY the Assoeio,ed Pres.

TAMPA, Fla, Mar. 9.-In the
bizarre setting of old uniforms, guns
and the odds and ends of an antique
shop and secondhand store, Frank
Daniels, So, was found dead today.
The hilt Of swastika -embe bellished
dagger protruded from the back of
his neck.
His body had tumbled from the
blood-smeared bed of his room be-
hind the shop, and scattered on the
floor around it were packages of old
coins and a few loose pennies.
Detective Inspector w. D. Bush
declared it a robbery-murder, and
a next door shopkeeper, B. K. Smith,
reported that Mr.. Daniels had about
$1,5oo in his living quarters.
Mr.. Daniels came here about 2lb
years ago from Cleveland, Mr.. Smith
said.
In his drab little shop, ramed the

with plumed hats, Wild West pistols
and holsters, silver ornaments, ar

Word of Soviet Withdrawal
Welcomed in Peipino

PEIPING, Mar. 9 tR.-Word o1
the withdrawal of Russian troops
from Mukden was greeted with en-
thusiasm at Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek's northeast field head
quarters here today.
Although first reports indicated
complete Soviet evacuation of the
big industrial city, it was not
thought likely that the Russians
would relinquish control of import
ant rail connection points between
Harbin in the north and Dairen in
the south.
Extensive Russian troop move
ments in Dairen last week, and
sham battles were scheduled to be
held in the Changchun area soon.
Only four days ago Soviet troops
and Red Navy personnel were being
moved from Hardin south to Dairen,
where unconfirmed reports said
10000 Russian troops had landed
within recent weeks. x
Gen. Peng Pi-sheng, deputy COM
mander of the Chinese 5th Army
and director of advanced headquar-
tiers of the Northeast China Com
mand, is in command of the Chinese
National forces in Mukden. Gen.

churian commander in chief, Gen.
Tu Li-ming, is under treatment in
Peiping hospital for kidney all
ment. His successor, Gen. Cheng

There is one American in Mukden.
He is Maj. Robert Rigg of Chicago,

ROME, Mar. 9.-Local elections
will be held in 1876 towns and vii
lagos throughout Italy tomorrow.

parties today appealed for order

real test of democracy in a quarter
of a century.
For the first time In italian his
tory, women will be permitted to
vote. approximately 100000 voters
are eligible to cast ballots in the
election, the first since the Allied
occupation.
Six provincial capitals will par
ticipate, but the vote will be pre-
dominantly agricultural with no
local balloting slated in the large
cities until after the general elec-
lions this spring.
Candidates from most Of Italy,s
war-hued parties are running for
Office, with the Socialists and Com
munlsts presenting combined lists
in many towns. The newspapers OF
the Socialists, Communists and
Christian Democrats urged Italians
to conduct the elections In an or

Soviet Business Aides
Penetrating Monchurio

CHANGCHUN, Manchuria, Mar
l Delayed. Soviet government
business agents are engaged in an
ambitious attempt at economic
penetration of Manchuria, designed

Soviet treaty as part of sovereign
China.

Should I snoop around until found

dock and, with my vast knowledge Of
such matters as fetlocks, tails, hooks,
withers, tendons, and drugs, choose
beast Of my own?
Broun System Adopted.
I finally decided to use a differ
ent system for each race. For the
first race I would use the system
by the late Haywood
Broun. It was Broun's practice to
hang around the mutuel windows
and buy the tickets which people
turned in on the grounds that the
ticket sellers had given them the
wrong numbers. Haywood never
bet on a horse of his own choice.
He always played the discards of

Count Fleet and Busher were rum
ming against him.
I lost the third race.
I used an old, old system in the
fourth race. I got In the line lead
ing to the 500 window and listened
to what the big bettors were back
ing. For a good ten minutes
eavesdropped on the wealthy, and
then put my 50 on a nag on which
a man had wagered $500. When
last seen in the haze Of the back
stretch, the jockey of this horse was
sending up distress flares, and pre-
pairing to abandon ship for a rub
Der life raft. Naturally, I lost that
one.
When the eighth race came up
I figured 1t was time to use the
system that Damon Runyon uses
when things grow desperate. Mr..
Runyon buys a ticket on every horse
in the race, thus having the salts
faction of pulling for everything as
the field hits the stretch.
I used this on the eighth and

other bettors. This system never
cost him thing--but money.
I used thu Rr0..n system In the
first race and wound up with o
horse which had to be released from
the starting gate like an animal
caught In . trap. The other horses
were six palm trees ahead of my
beast when he finally got out OF the
gate.
For the second race I used the
system popularized at the Georgia
Poor Farms by second cousin Of
mine. He bet on horses because Of
their names. No name was too odd
to give him a hunch. II the horse
had name with Lee in 1t he would
bet 1t because 1t reminded him Of
the Civil War, war in which my
cousin earned immortality as Con-
federate soldier by continually con-
fusing the battle song of Dixie with
the retreat" signal.
I lost the second race.
Corum System Next.
When the third came up I turned
to the system always used by Bill
Corum, sports columnist of the New
York Journal-American. Mr.. Corum
considers the horse a minor part Of
the horse race. He bets on the
jockey. If jockey Mr.. Corum liked
was riding a two-gaited armadillo,
he would back him to the hilt, no
