His principal objective has al

e new Electrical Engineering

a $5,000,000 General State Author

he played the piano, violin, and

War News
Analyzed
By GEORGE L. LEFFLER
Professor of Economics
The first week of September
brought to the Allies the best news
of the war as military and politi
cal victories followed each other
in rapid succession. The end of the
war is closer than anyone dared
to expect when we invaded France.
Our troops surged forward in all
sectors of France at rates of 30
n.iles a day, triple the best Nazi
speed in 1940. British and Cana
dians, heading out from the Seine,
captured Amiens, Dieppe, Abbe
ville, Brussels and Antwerp in
quick drives. This operation pock
eted 100,000 Germans along the
robot bomb coast which remains
to be “mopped up.” This frees Eng
land of the menace of the robot
bomb, which was the perfect pro
duct of a warped mind.
Undamaged Antwerp gives the
Allies a fine harbor 66 miles from
Germany through which vast sup
plies can be funneled for the bat
tle of Germany now beginning.
The capture of the bitterly defend
ed ports of Le Havre and Brest is
now less urgent.
To the east of the British armies
the Americans over-ran northern
and eastern France at equally
amazing rates of speed, capturing
Sedan, Argonne and Verdun and
then rolling into Belgium. Magnifi
cent fortifications like Soissons
were not even defended by the
Germans.
Ran Off Their Maps
In northeastern France Gen.
Patton, the most colorful American
general of the war, traveled so
fast his troops “ran off their maps.”
Three armies are now at Ger
many’s borders ready to attack the
Siegfried line. It is doubtful if Ger
many can hold this outmoded line
of defense for long. The bully of
Europe will soon hear the march
of conquering armies of the ene
mies he hoped to enslave.
In southern France our armies
made rapid progress up the Rhone
''alley, capturing and passing Lyon,
third city of France, without a
pause. The escape corridor of the
battered 19th German army closes
hourly.
The Allies continued to meet
stubborn resistance at the Gothic
I|ne in northern Italy. The Gothic
fine was considered impregnable
by the Germans but a break
through is now progressing stead
ily, which will give us an ideal
t ank territory in which to operate.
Why the Nazis defend northern
Italy so bitterly remains a mys
tery.
On the Polish front the Russians
have made only slow progress
after some of the hardest fighting
of the war. The Germans are ap
parently more interested in hold
ing the Russians than they are the
Americans and British. Perhaps
they think the Russians still re
member the utter devastation

Which their armies spread over
western Russia a few short months
In the Balkans the Soviet, troops
captured Bucharest after overrun
ning the Ploesti oil fields, the
greatest source of natural oil of
.he Germans. From Bucharest the
Russians headed toward a juncture
with Marshal Tito in Jugoslavia,
pausing on the way to declare war
on Bulgaria for its reluctance in
getting out of the war.
Hungary Clings On
Russia and ill-advised Finland
ended a three-year war and the
latter nation can now repent at
leisure its decision to bet on the
wrong horse. Germany now has no
satellite nations to help her ex
cept the weak and reluctant Hun
gary.
In the far Pacific no real change
took place during the week. Our
ships and planes continue to “soft
en up” the Philippines, the Bonins
and the Volcanos. Landing opera
tions at any of these places in the
very near future will surprise no
one and Gen. MacArthur may well
be able to eat his Thanksgiving
dinner on the islands to which he
swore he would return.
The War and Politics
Sen. Truman, opening the Demo
cratic campaign, stressed experi
enced leadership. Mr. Truman’s
experience in politics was ac
quired under the guidance of Tom
Pendergast, boss of the most cor
rupt political machine in the coun
try in its prime. The French, might
give us some ideas on experience.
In 1939 they entrusted their
armies to the old and experienced
Gen. Gamelin instead of de Gaulle,
the father of tank warfare. In 1940
they chose the old and very ex
perienced Marshal Petain. Experi
ence—well, maybe!
On the other hand, the Repub
licans cannot be too proud either.
Before the war they opposed the
araft, the repeal of the neutrality
act, the extension of selective serv
ice, the passage of lend-lease and
scoffed, at any possible attack by

several other veterans played with
younger civilian players on one
of Coach Hugo Bezdek’s greatest
Penn, State teams.
“Bezdek’s problem,” says the
dean, “was typical of all problems
of veteran readjustment. He had
to put battle-experienced men
through the fundamentals of
tackling, blocking, charging. They
rebelled, at first, or went at it
indifferently, and green players
outrated them for places on the
team.
“Bez sure had his hands full,”
Dean Warnock said, “but before
the season ended, veterans and
green players alike were playing
the same kind of football. That
team, with Bob Higgins as cap
tain, defeated both Penn and
Pitt.”
According to Dean Warnock,
the same problems of readjust
ment will meet veterans return
ing to the campus from World
War 11. More than 4000 Penn
State students interrupted their
careers to go off to war. Their
problems, the dean said, will not
differ greatly from those of any
young man who leaves the campus
for two or three years and goes
back. “While away, he remem
bers himself and his former envi
ronment as they were when he
went away. When he returns, he is
changed and the environment has
changed. Time will be needed to
make the double readjustment.”
Changes here at' home, Dean
Warnock believes, will make a
larger problem for the- veteran
trying to- readjust himself than
will any changes which have tak
en place in himself.
“We people at home may not
appreciate what’s happened, but
during these war years we have
changed materially,” the dean
says. “Yet we can’t see those
changes as clearly in the retur
ning veteran.”
In his 30 years of work with
yoUng men Dean Warnock has
learned that “progressive, orderly
adjustment to changing conditions
is the normal process of adoles
cence. Young men grow older in

years and experience, meet new
conditions, fit' in or don’t. That’s
youth," he* says, “and those of us
into this changing picture
are somewhat like the doctor who
helps his patient to help himself
get well. We can advise, sympa
thize and even spank, but unless
we have helped the youtlvto stand
on his own feet, we have engag
ed only in mollycoddling.”
Dean Warnock knows his col
lege man well. In his 25 years at
Penn State, 30,000 freshman en
tered. Hundreds have come to see
him personally about their. trou
bles and many have kept in .touch
with him through the years.
The dean doesn’t regard his job
as one of dealing with unruly or
delinquent students. Most young
men in college, he feels, are cap
able, of doing more than anybody
thinks they can. “The challenge to
a dean is to get it out of them,”
he says.
He has let a good many pro
blems handle themselves by tur
ning them over to the students.
That’s why-he has long put his
trust in student government. “Get
a boy interested in looking after
another boy,” he believes, “and
you’ve bettered them both.”
The dean came to Penn State
in 1919 from the University of
Illinois, a protege of the famed
Thomas Arkle Clark. He intend-;
ed to stay for. a few years, has
been here since. He’s seen Penn
State grow from a college with.
2400 students to one of 7100. He
has another concern about boys
returning: two sons are in the
service, Staff Sgt. Jack, of the
Army Air Forces, and Capt. Ray,
bomber pilot with 50 missions
tucked under his belt.

of servicemen wanting more mail
will be given by the Red Cross to
coeds interested in corresponding
with them. Those who wish to an

will also, be welcomed. .
