Public health officials in Wash

about this shortage. Fighting and

takes good nursing to do it.
Unless the nation's nurse power
is reinforced by enrolment of 65,

threat of great suffering and loss
of life thru epidemics, disaster,

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. Johnson, all
gradufte students of the univer
sity who have received their mas
ter of science degrees on the basis
ff their work on amino and dia
mino ketones.

The mass of Indian people would
fight wholeheatedly against Japan
if only they were given an inkling
of their future freedom.
Virtually Slaves.
'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.
Other seemingly regrettable in
stances of British "misrule in In
dia come as military moves neces
sary for the defense of a country
which seems unwilling to defend
itself against aggressor nations
He also listed the failure of the
Cripns mission as apathy on the
part of the nationalist party to se
curing their desired freedom.
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. Yahkub agreed completely
with this earnest plea, and said
that the crucial question was what

Three prexys, Evangeline Kubik,

The woman behind the scenes,
Dr. Ailene Lockhart, insists that
the recital will break all prece

NEW YORK. N. Y. (ACP). 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. In

the organization and administra
tion of education at the college.
"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
