FSCW Reports Student Increase

Tallahassee-Registration of 43 new students for the second semester brings the total registration figure this year at Florida State College for Women up to 2,033 which is three more than this time a year ago. Though the number of new students for the second semester was slightly less than last year, the total registration showed a slight increase explained by the fact that last fall's registration was slightly higher than that of the year before. Total registration is obtained by adding the total number of new students registering the second term to those of the fall.

This Week in the War

President Roosevelt told his press conference Pacific council coordinating the war effort of the United States in the southwest Pacific have been operating for about a month. The military command in the ABCD-A area itself, the President said, is in the hands of Gen. Archibald Wavell, but strategical problems are referred to Washington and London. The joint military and naval staff sit in Washington. The Senate passed and sent to the White House a bill authorization for a $500,000,000 loan to China. President Roosevelt said the money will make it possible for the Chinese to purchase numerous war materials, both in China and in other countries. He said the loan would be a definite relief for the Chinese financial structure strained by the long war with the Japanese. The White House announced the U. S. through the RAF has dropped a second pamphlet over several occupied French seaports in the "biggest pamphlet bombing job ever done." The first pamphlet, announced a month ago, stressed the traditional friendship between this country and France; the second told of the rapidly-expanding U. S. war production. AIR-A Navy aviation training program designed to develop 30,000 of the toughest pilots in the world annually for the Navy and Marine Corps will be put into operation by May 1, Navy Secretary Knox announced. Applications for training are now being accepted. Mr. Knox asked U. S. high school youth to aid the Navy by producing 500,000 aircraft models of 50 different types of fighting planes to be used in aircraft recognition and range estimation in gunnery practice and for training civilians in aircraft recognition. The Office of Civilian Defense invited college flyers and aviation enthusiasts to participate in the Civilian Air Patrol which is seeking to enlist 90,000 civilian pilots. Sixteen years is the minimum age for enrollment for ground duty, and 18 for flight duty. The Civil Aeronautics Administration reported a 48 percent increase in private flying during 1941. THE WAR FRONT-Gen. MacArthur's troops in the Philippines repulsed continuous attacks by the enemy throughout the week. Enemy losses during the week included 11 planes shot down, two grounded bombers destroyed in the air and on the ground in an attack on Japanese occupied Marshal and Gilbert Islands, many fleet auxiliaries, two transports and "probably" a third, and an enemy warship torpedoed. U. S. losses were 13 planes, two tankers and two freighters. The Navy and Marine Corps reported 1,294 officers and men missing or prisoners of war. The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to continue the pay of persons in the armed forces and civilian employees of the War and Navy for a year after reported missing, captured or interned. NAVY-Congress passed the largest appropriation bill in history of nearly $24 billion in direct cast appropriations and $4 billion in contract authorizations for the Navy. The Navy said 100,000 men have enlisted since the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Marine Corps has passed the 100,000 man mark in officermen and men, both reserves and regulars. Three destroyers and one battleship were launched and two more destroyers and one cruiser will be launched Lincoln's birthday. SELECTIVE SERVICE-Selective Service Director Hershey asked local draft boards to aid deferment of apprentices in essential war production trades because there is a mounting demand for skilled workers. Gen. Hershey said a plan has been proposed for allowances and allotments to release for induction married registrants now deferred on grounds of dependency. In World War I, he said, payments up to $50 a month were made. He said no figures will be issued on the number of men who register February 16. SHIPPING-President Roosevelt told his press conference emergency shipping schedules make it almost impossible to utilize full cargo capacity of American merchant vessels because war supplies have been given precedence over ordinary cargo. The Maritime Commission said through cooperative action with American ship operators, imports of 10 important raw materials increased about 200 percent during 1941. The Commission maintained its ship-a-day construction schedule by launching 14 new vessels during the last half of January. Eight French merchant ships in U. S. ports were requisitioned by the Commission. PRODUCTION AND CONVERSION-The WPB announced it cleared contracts amounting to $8 billion in the week ending January 21. The War Department announced production of .30 caliber ball ammunition was nearly doubled during the first three weeks of January 1942 over the corresponding period last year. War Department Production Director Harrison announced the Chrysler Corporation will construct a $100,000,000 plant in Chicago to turn out Wright 12-cylinder air-cooled engines. War Production Chairman Nelson announced adoption of a system of daily progress reports to check production delays "anywhere along the line." He merged priorities and sub-contracting field offices in a new Bureau of Field Operations to provide "faster, more efficient service, to business and industry." The WPB halted the typewriter manufacturing industry which produced 1,000,000 machines in 1941 to cut by formal production 25 percent immediately and convert its facilities to war production. CENTRAL INFORMATION SERVICE-President Roosevelt directed the United States Information Service to expand its facilities "so that visitors shall have one central place to which they can go for direction and information," The President said because many businessmen and other citizens "are coming to Washington in increasing numbers seeking information and the assistance of their Government -it has become more and more difficult for those coming-on specific business to locate the Government official who can give authoritative answers to their questions. It is now necessary that there be an integration of the various officers having direct contact with the public, and that their activities be coordinated under the direction of a central office." CIVILIAN DEFENSE-The Senate passed and sent to the House a bill to create a $1,000,000,000 fund to compensate American property owners for war damages. The fund would compensate for losses other than life or personal injury to the extent of $10,000. OCD Executive Landis announced cities in target areas will not be required to submit requisitions for protective equipment including gas masks and auxiliary fire fighting equipment to be provided by $100 million of Federal funds. He said the equipment would be allocated to the various areas according to their likelihood of attack, vulnerability and present equipment. Attorney General Biddle established a special War Frauds Unit within the Department of Justice to prosecute all cases involving frauds in connection with the war effort. CIVILIAN SUPPLY-Price Administrator Henderson announced rationing of new passenger autos to eligible users will not begin before February 26, and delivery of cars purchased but not delivered before the Government froze all sales halted February 12. The WPB Food Supply branch said steps were taken to take care of small industrial users who have bought sugar from week to week so they can conduct business on a minimum basis. The OPA Consumer Division said wool products sold during the emergency still must carry a label telling the fiber content of the article. PRICES-Price Administrator Henderson set ceiling prices for electric phonographs, radios and all tubes and parts at the levels of last October 15. He also set ceiling prices for washing machines and ironers. Wholesale and retail prices were set for passenger autos under the rationing program, including a provision to compensate dealers for storage expenses. The WPA reported that since the beginning of the defense program rents have been increased in 114 of the 134 defense areas surveyed.

Waiting Curry Appointment Like Covering Death Watch

(Continued from Page 1) on the floor. Curry's hair grew more rumpled by degree Miami side the door stood a whispering knot of employees, a few with visible tears coursing down their cheeks. Each time the door opened, they peered in, anxious-ly. Mrs. Curry remarked that maybe the new Gables city manager would get her a case for her parkway, as she had never been able to get it out of the present one. Minutes grew into hours-anxiety dropped in to sit with the group, as conversation lagged and thoughts raced. What was taking so long? Had seemingly well-laid plans gone awry? Had the Good Government Commissioners pulled a dark horse out of the bag? Shaw's secretary stuck her head in the door to announce that he was wanted on the phone in his office. "That's it!" he cried and dashed out the door, while a bottle of Scotch appeared, as if from nowhere, in Patterson's hand. Shaw returned, looking haggard. False alarm. Again we settled down to nervous chit-chat. Your correspondent was catching the spirit and chewed up a pencil, adding to the litter on the floor. At five fifty-five, the publicity director left the office and could be heard dialing on a phone outside. Then the door flew open and in she came, grinning from ear to ear. "Congratulations," she said, "a reporter just gave me the word. I'm losing a swell boss but Miami's getting a wonder full city manager." Bedlam broke loose. Everybody began shaking hands and all the phones started to ring at once. "It's in the bag," said Patterson. The contents of the bottle of Scotch had mysteriously disappeared.
