Unless the nation's nurse power is reinforced by enrolment of 65, 000 .students in nursing schools this ypar, America faces a real threat of great suffering and loss of life thru epidemics, disaster, tridents or enemy action.

Prof. Cromwell Publishes Four Chem Articles Prof. Norman Cromwell of the chemistry department of the Uni versity of Nebraska has had pub lished In the "Journal of Ameri can Chemical Society" a series of four articles on unsaturated amino ketones. The first three papers deal with theorictical and practical studies of the chemical reactions used to make some interesting and pos sibly valuable unsaturated amino ketones and diamino ketones. The fourth- paper in this series dis cusses the relation between the structive and the color of un saturated amino ketones. Professor Cromwell made the in vestigations in collaboration with Donald J. Cram, Ivan H. Witt, Robert D. Babson. Charles E. Harris and Rayner S.

'Indians today are virtually slaves to Britain, with 30,000 peo pie in jails without even the hope of a trial, and the British machine gunning them into submission from the air," stated Yahkub "Only 10 percent of my people are literate, and the majority live in abject poverty." Raysor objected to this attitude toward British rule in India, point ing out the many reforms Britain has brought about in India, and comparing the Indian situation with that of nazi-dominated coun tries where objectors to the gov ernment are executed without so much as a prison term.

Defeat Before Battle. But the Cripps mission proposed agreement gave leave for any of the native princes to succeed to the native government thus "giv ing divorce before marriage," shot back Yahkub. When accused of being a "Brit ish hater," the Indian speaker de nied the charge vigorously. He de fined his stand with that of Pand Nehru, leader of the congres sional party. Nehru believes tha the problem in India is the moral problem of the underprivileged groups, a problem to be solved all over the world. Yahkub called Nehru the actua leader of tho Congressional party in India, saying that Gandhi him self had publicly stated so when not given a single vote of support in a recent party vote. Need Constructive Thought. At this Point in the two-man theoretical debate, Albert Fenn Chinese student at the university intervened saying that discussion of partisan theory was not what was needed but rather construc tive criticism of the present pro gram.

A new course attempting to pattern the path of post-war education in the United States, one of the first of its kind, is being given at Teachers college, Columbia uni versity, during the spring semes ter under guidance of Dr. William G. Carr, secretary of the Edu cational Policies commission, in cational agencies. Participants in the workshop are urged to bring specific prob lems of their home communities, which will range from urban, such as New York, to farming, such as is found in New Jersey and Connecticut, to the class for co-operation with Dr. John K.ldiscussion and interpretation.

"Local school systems must free their imaginations and immedi ately begin to take stock of the situation which will confront them when the war is over," said Dr. Norton, discussing the purpose of the course. "They must recog nize that there will be millions of youths in their late teens and early twenties whose eyes will turn from the battlefield and fac tory toward the classroom and shop." The course, which is in the form of a conference-workship, is de signed to deal specifically with such post-war problems as un employment, rehabilitation of wounded, the need for completing the education of those who were inducted into the army following high school, technological adjust ments necessary due to cessation of war industries and growth of peacetime ones, and the growing necessity for cu-operation between schools and other community edu this way it is hoped that at con clusion of the conference a fairly complete set of recommendations for methods of meeting these post-war problems will be avail able for various types of locations. was going to be done to get all Asia behind the United Nations.
