Patterson Denies College Training Tale (NjXTial to the Pally Nrbrl;a from the Ofllre of Vr lntormallon) i Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson has quieted the fears of American educators that the armed forces weTe about to "take over" many colleges for training purposes. Patterson, denying widely pub lished reports to this effect, ex plained that a plan is being worked, out whereby selected members of the armed forces will be sent to those colleges which have the facilities for technical training. The armed forces will dictate the student's course, he said, and will pay his expenses.

Taking over the details of civil ian defense against enemy bomb ings, Dr. C. B. Schultx described as the best method of combatting the disastrous effects of high ex plosive bombs to "get out of the way and stay out of the way." In university buildings the "safe place" to be in an air raid is an inside corridor away from any doors or windows. This po sition will generally have the ad vantage of having a double wall between the student and the bomb blast. At home the safe area is under a heavy-topped table or under a heavy overstuffed divan turned upside down. This affords pro tection from bomb fragments and falling plaster from the ceiling. Protection "against incendiary bombs are the use of sand and water. Water sprayed on a mag nesium bomb causes it to burn faster and eliminates the danger within two minutes. Ordinarily the bomb would burn 20 minutes. This type of bomb may also be smothered with sand. The reason bomb precautions include a bucket of sand and the garden hose in the attic is for the fire hazard which generally strikes in the attic since the bomb is dropped from above. A two pound bomb dropped from a height of 10,000 feet can penetrate sev eral inches of concrete, Dr. Schultz stated. The bomb will but rarely go be yond an attic since the force of its fall is broken by the roof, and if fires can be stopped here, there will be less total damage. It is also advisable to clean the attic of any inflammable trash. Dr. Schultz illustrated his lec ture in Avery Lab lecture room by a series of a!ides drawn par ticularly for the CCD by Milton Caniff, creator and artist of the popular comic strip, "Terry and the Pirates." Wilh Lit lie Publicity EJ. S. Universities Issue 3,243 Doctorate Degrees Last Year . . According to Dr. Henry; CINCINNATI, Ohio. (ACP). In a little-known type of intercolleg iate competition, the University of Chicago has taken top place from Columbia university for the first time in many years. This intersec tional academic rivalry has to do with number of doctorate degrees issued. Dr. Edward A. Henry, directory of libraries at the University of Cincinnati, announced the "win ners" in his annual survey com piled as editor of the volume "Doc toral Dissertations Accepted by American universities, 1941-42, published by the Association of Research Libraries. The current volume lists by au thor and title 3,243 doctoral dis sertations in the last academic year in American and Canadian colleges and universities. The num ber, Dr. Henry said, has been in creasing steadily for years and rapidly from 1938 thru 1941, when it reached an all-time high of 3,526. The current volume is the first to show a decrease, but the 3,243 dissertations in 1941-42 represent almost the figure indicated for that year by projection of past figures. Chicago, usually second, leads wilh 197 doctorates, and Columbia, usually first, is next with 187. The University of Wisconsin ranks third, its usual position, with 163. Then, in decreasing order, come New York university, University of California, Harvard, Ohio State, Yale, Cornell, Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa. These 12 institutions are the only ones granting as many as 100 doctorates in the 1941-42 year. As for many years, chemistry leads all subjects, with 588 disser tations. Education, with 344, is second; economics, with 181, is third; then the following, each represented by 100 or more, in de creasing order: English, physics, The Producer of "EILEEN" Give Yen Another Laugh Riot rr swell cane I hysterica rt MBililii!
