that. Cabinet ,grant, the committee
authority to run a primary election
not provided for in the All-College
elections code.
Any officer elected from so large
a number of candidates, Brawn
explained, could represent only, a
.small portion of his class. In- addi
tion, he pointed out that failure - to
hold an elimination would necessi
tate having cuts made of all can

Air Corps Pilot Declares
P-38 Is Greatest• Fighter
When predictions like that of
Naval Operations Vice-Admiral
Horn, who said that the war with
Japan would last until 1949, and
Allied setbacks are reported in
various newspapers, letters from
American fliers can certainly be
said to have an encouraging tone.
This letter is exceptional in that
it would have been severely cen
sored bad - it not been mailed when
the • commanding officer .• of the
I:teiin , State •mdn who wrote it re
turned, to the.. United States.

the latter is by far the best." He
proceeded to tell about an encoun_
ter with Italian and German fight
ers, that were, protecting an enemy
convoy. Although his ship was se
verely damaged, he managed to
land after inflicting• losses on the

Bill said, "Our first bombing
raid on Pantelleria was certainly
fun. Wp had two flights (eight

Bike Inspection Ordered
. All students who have bicycles
must have them inspected and se
cure licenses for them. A new
town ordinance makes It illegal
for a person to operate a bicycle
which hasn't been inspected or
does not have the necessary li
cense. When riding bicycles, the
same traffic rules are observed
'as those Motor vehicles
crossed that field. at 1.0-15 feet "at
350' m.p : lr.- with - all guns ' firing.
What a sight! My bomb made a
direct hit 'on. a - large administra
tion blinding and it just disin
tegrated.",
• "This "probably sounds like an T
.did - this and T did - that letter, but
everybody is doing the same
things' that . I am 'and if you mul
tiply this by the number of pilots
you will :•ealize just - what our op-.
erations amount to, Bill wrote.
Of the 'original squadron of 27
pilots who left New York; • there
are 11 still fighting. A lot of 're
placements have been made, and ,
'quite. a few of them have been - ,
lost. The —th. squadron has to
date destroyed 94 enemy planes.
...Bill,,plosed with "I have flown,
over the Mediterranean so much
I know every wave by its first
name. I could go on and on, but'
this ought to give you a rough idea,
Dick."
This is - but one example of- the
way in which Penn State gradu
ates have been scattered over the
world by this war, and of the job
they are doing with the rest of the
Allied forces.

dance will be open to independ
ent men and servicemen, as well
as fraternity men. Admission will
be $3.30 tax included, and full
