This Week At War
By Albert Reddish
Lt. Jon Prudcn
Dies in Fr&nee
On October 6
Second Lt. Jon W. Pruden, UN
grad, was killed in action in
France, Oct. 6, according to a war
department telegram received by
his wife, the former Arlene Kal
slenbarger. Lieutenant Pruden, pilot of an
A-20 Havoc bomber, had been
overseas since April. He entered
the army in February, 1942, and
received his wings and commis
sion at Moody Field, Ga.
Jon was graduated with dis
tinction in 1941, receiving both
B.Ss. and M.A. A speech major,
he was active in both University
Theatre and radio. He was a
member of Alpha Rho Tau.
Mrs. Pruden, also a UN grad,
received her B.Sc. in January,
1942. She is, at present, teaching
in the Eagle schools.
With election next Tuesday, it
appears as if the issue is so close
that the next president of the
United States may not be deter
mined until all mail votes are in
and counted, which may be some
time in December.
The final Newsweek poll con
siders the outcome in Pennsyl
vania, where capitalist-isolationist
Joe Pew is spending for Dewey,
as the determining factor. The
118 Newsweek experts give
Roosevelt 27 states and 249 elec
toral votes and Dewey 20 states
with 247 electoral votes, while
266 electoral votes are necessary
for election.
Despite republican claims,
Senator Ball's support of Roose
velt has shifted Minnesota from
among the toss-up states into the
doubtful Roosevelt group. Mis
souri, Truman's home state, was
taken from the toss-up list and
placed in the doubtful but lean
ing republican group.
In an effort to swing vital votes
in doubtful sections, both Roose
velt and Dewey spoke Thursday
night and both are scheduled to
make at least one more major
campaign speech before election.
There is little doubt of the
probability of a clean g.o.p. sweep
of state offices, as well as an over
whelming vote for Dewey in Ne
braska. U. S. Routs Japs.
In his final survey of the U. S.
rout of the Imperial Japanese
navy last week, Adm. Chester
Nimitz announced that of the 59
or 60 Jap ships participating in
the battle, only one or two de
stroyers escaped unscathed. The
score of damages to the Japanese:
SUNK Two battleships, four
carriers, six heavy cruisers, three
light cruisers, three small cruisers
or large destroyers, and six de
stroyers SEVERELY DAMAGED. POS
SIBLY SUNK One battleship,
three heavy cruisers ,two light
cruisers, and seven destroyers.
DAMAGED Six battleships,
four heavy cruisers, one light
cruiser and 10 destroyers.
Meanwhile, American losses
amounted to the light carrier
Princeton sunk by U. S. fire, two
escort carriers, two destroyers,
one destroyer escort and several
light craft.
Stilwell Leaves.
With the removal of Gen.
"Vinegar Joe" Stilwell from his
commands in the China-India-
Burma theater, the Chinese situa
tion began to clear. Differing on
questions of strategy, Chiang re
quested the removal of Stilwell.
One comment was that tho Stil
well was a great soldier, he did
not have the ability to get along
with men as do Eisenhower and
Alexander;
The eastern theaters have been
separated, with Maj. Gen. Albert
Wedemeyer, succeeding Stilwell
in China and Lt. Gen. Daniel I.
Sultan taking over American was decided to continue meeting
lorces in the Uurma-india area. w;ln lne y. W. C. A. in the reg-

is supposedly to be directed at
Americans in the Philippines.
In Washington it was an
nounced that Lawrence Fly, czar
of the airwaves, who has been
accused of attempting to gain
complete control over American
radio, has resigned from the rCC
effective Nov. 15.
