Today s War Moves

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE: United Press War Analyst - Light was thrown on the global war shiatisyie of the united nations today by Prime Minister John Curtin in a speech to the Australian parliament. Curtin, in a position to know, gave the first official statement on united nations’ plans’ for prosecut- ; - ing the war in two hemispheres at once. He said that Re Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt. had £ decided even before the fall of Singapore that Germany had to be te

Meanwhile, allied strength has grown. If the Japanese are driven off New Guinea and Guadalcanal, the ‘next allied move would be toward New Britain, where they have one of their most important bases, Rabual.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (U. P.).— The American-endowed Yenching university, which the Japanese ‘believed they destroyed at Peiping the same day as Pearl Harbor, has-<been reopened thousands of miles from the old campus. The office of war information reported a Chungking radio broadcast which said the doors of the university were thrown open in the city of Chengtu on

. the anniversary of the Japanese

attack on Hawaii. At the same time, 250 alumni gathered in Chungking to pay tribute to the institution and its chancellor, Dr. H. Young.

three hundred cities in the. state would have to resort to: emergency bond issues if these revenues fall off. Each of the six speeches given at sessions today was devoted to some phase of the war effort.

BY FARL RI CHERT SEVERAL REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS believe that this is the right time, politically and economically, for the state of Indiana to buy

‘a new home for its governors. ng with many others familiar with governor’s mansions

They,

in other states, think that the 18-room ‘mansion .and its bit of ground on Fall Creek boulevard are a “disgrace” to the state.

. There is more-objection to the location and the size of the grounds than to the manse itself. The house is so close to heavily trav-

eled Fall Creek boulevard that |

motorists going by virtually can see whether the governor is eating eggs or pancakes for breakfast. And in the summer when the windows must be kept open | for comfort, clouds of dust from the street roll in. The grounds, too, are so small that the occupants can take only a: few steps before they have to begin dodging traffic. And the house itself is inadequate for the receptions which the chief. executive and his wife must nold occasionally. . : tJ “ »

Avoid ‘Politics’ Cry . THESE REPUBLICAN legislators who are thinking about the matter believe that an appropriation for the purchase of a new home could be made by the coming G. O. P.-controlled assembly with no cry of “politics” being raised since the immediate -beneficiary would be Democratic Gov-

ernor Schricker. If they wait two years to take action, when a Republican governor and another G. O. P. assembly may be in power, they realize that the proposed transaction probably ‘will be made a major political issue. And from an economic standpoint, they think that a sizable

grounds can . be purchased now for a fraction of its original cost. : su =

He and Governor Schricker are to be the main speakers at a banquet Saturday night of the Society of Indiana Pioneers. However, arrangements have been made by Wallace Weatherholt, deputy state treasurer and long a supporter of Mr. Green .as a candidate for president, for the Ilinois chief executive to meet a

Slacks Make Debut at Shortridge—Out on

J Strikes.

SLACKS MADE a short-lived debut on the Shortridge campus. They appeared one day and flunked out the ‘next. It all happened recently when five comely misses appeared’ at school in trousers. It caused quite a sensation. But the fad received - “three strikes” that very day and so was “out.” First of all, Dan Hull, the school’s broad-minded principal, took an official attitude announc-

-ing that he wouldn't send anyone

in slacks home but that he that such clothes were “not in good taste.” The second strike came when the boys snickered. And the crowning blow ' came when the boys announced: ‘“We’re looking forward to shorts

but reports from Tunisia indicated that the allies were growing stronger there daily, After a two-day tank battle In the Tebourba-Djedeida-Mateur triangle, which was small-scale compared with some fought at the Egyptian end of the front, the Germans appeared content to restrict their operations to an “offensivedefensive” in Tunisia. The allies held the vital positions in the Tebourba area, although axis radios declared that the city still was in axis hands. The British and Americans apparently were . waiting until their tank and airplane strength had been built up

sufficiently to start a decisive at-|.

tack. Radio Morocco said allied air forces had scored hits on a destroyer, a fuel dump and railroad irstallations in. a “violent” raid on Bizerte, and had bombed the TunisGabes railroad again. Bomber and fighter reinforcements were reported to have arrived.
