Revolt Immiment in Italy “The time is ripe now for re volting in Italy. The second front, in my opinion will come through Italy in the form of an attack, first on Sicily and Crete and then up through Italy, where I think we can count on the help of the Italion people, into Germany.” In a question period after the lecturer in which written ques tions were submitted to the speak er for answering, Kaltenborn as sured the audience that in reply to a question about securing the Army-Navy “E” for excellence in production, he would certainly suggest that the “E” be awarded to A. & M. for production of of ficers for this year. Advises Cadets to Remain Here In an interview after the prog ram, the widely traveled corres pondent said that he had never seen anything like the size of this college. He said that in his opin ion an officer graduating from this school is even better trained than one who has advanced through the ranks to become an officer. He further admonished cadets here to stay in school, and not to go wan dering off, haphazardly, on the Ugjitest rumor about various arfes of enlistments. —MEANDERINGS— (Continued From Page 2) now the mystery seems to have been cleared.

Draft Board Clerks Failing to Remind Registrants of Right to Appeal Cases It has come to the attention of State Selective Service Headquar ters, according to a directive from General J. Watt Page, state di rector, addressed to the various field agencies of the system, that clerks of certain local boards are failing to advise registrants of their right of appeal, “and, in some instances, have informed the registrant that he could not ap peal or that it would do no good to appeal, or in other instances that he had no grounds for ap peal.” The directive cites Sec. 603.71 of the Selective Service Regula tions, which makes provision for an appeal agent for each local board, and stresses that it is the duty of the appeal agent not only to appeal from any local board classification which, in his opinion, should be reviewed by the board of appeal, but also to inform regis trants of their legal rights and assist them in entering • appeals where it appears that such persons are ignorant of the “when and how” of the appellate machinery. General Page emphasized that “it is the duty of all clerks of local boards and all local board members to inform registrants that each local board has an appeal agent whose services are available to the registrant with respect to all matters involving an appeal or in which the 'registrant would need advice on Selective Service.” Quoting further from General Page’s directive:: “I also have in formation that registrants have been advised by Selective Service personnel as to what they are “sure” the action of the appeal board would be on their appeals, and, in some cases, that appeal boards always agree with local boards and that it would be use less to appeal. This is indeed re grettable and such statements should not be indulged in. “Registrants should be inform ed of the name of the appeal agent for his local board and in structed how to contact him. The appeal agent occupies a most im portant position in the Selective Service System, and we all should recognize this fact in order that there may be proper functioning to the end that the fundamental rights will not be denied to reg istrants.” General Page also cautioned local clerks against discourteous —BACKWASH— (Continued on page 2) has just received his promotion to the rank of Lt.

He said: “I regret to say that in some instances I have received bitter complaints concerning alleged dis courteous treatment of registrants by the clerks of certain local boards. Registrants are citizen soldiers who are being called to fight for our country and they are entitled to every right and con sideration under the Selective Serv ice law and regulations, as well as to every common courtesy, at all times. It is the duty of all agen cies of the Selective Service Sys tem to see that they are accorded such rights. They should be re ceived courteously and promptly given the information they are seeking and referred to the appeal agent when his services are re quired.” New Manganese Alloy Saves Metals - Eighteen tons of scarce metals will be saved in the manufacture of General Electric war products this year, thanks to a new manganese alloy. The new alloy will free 10 tons of nickel, seven tons of chromium and almost one ton of tin for other war uses. All three metals are listed by the War Production Board as “inadequate for war and most essential uses” while manga nese, the substitution of which makes the saving possible, is avail able in adequate quantities. The new atyoy replaces a for mula which called for 18 per cent chromium, eight per cent nickel and the remainder iron. Either al loy requires a covering to prevent rust, and for the tin coating previ ously used, a lead coating has been substituted. Adequate supplies of lead are available. According to J. Q. Adams, steel specialist in the Company’s Sche nectady works laboratory, the new formula provides a much stronger alloy. “This alloy can therefore be ex pected to remain in general use when the war ends and chromium, nickel and tin again will be in com mon use,” he said. Bars, rods and plates made of the new alloy are used in motor- generators for submarines, control equipment for planes and tanks, and in switchgear equipment and motors for war industry generally. Wire made of the alloy has equally wide application, chiefly in electric locomotives. In this application the wire is wound tightly around di rect-current motors and soldered and must be replaced every few weeks as a safety factor. Rover Crew to Meet To Discuss New Plans Aggie Rover Crew members and others who desire membership in the organization will meet tonight at 6 o’clock in the YMCA lounge. According to William White, lead er of the club, all members should be present as plans for the coming months will be made. The Aggie Rover Crew is an association of all former Boy Scouts on the campus. International Students Day Is to Be Observed for Martyred Czech Scholars International Students’ Day will be observed on November 17 in colleges- and universities through out the world, it was announced today by Trude W. Pratt, General Secretary of International Student Service. The purpose of the day is to commemorate the closing of the Czech universities and the brutal murder of over 160 Czech students by the Nazis in Prague on November 17, 1939. At the same time observance of International Students’ Day will manifest the determination of the free students of the world to fight through to victory. Plans for International Students’ Day are already far advanced, Mrs. ?ratt said. The International Stu dent Assembly, which met in Washington, D. C., from September 2 to 5, unanimously adopted a res olution calling on its 53 national affiliates to plan for suitable ob- Electronic Devise Matches Shades To Accurate Degree Through the work of such scien tists as Virginia Granville, assist ant color technologist at the Inter- servances. United States colleges are plan ning convocations, chapel services and general meetings which will be addressed by educators, scholars- in-exile and students. A two min ute period of silence at 11 a.m. will honor those who have lost their lives in the struggle for de- scheduled in England which will be carried to the United States by one of the major broadcasting sys tems. Many colleges and local sta tions will have broadcasts prepared by groups of students. Students from every college in the New York metropolitan area are planning to hold a huge meet ing in the Great Hall at Hunter College on the evening of Nov. 17. Many organizations are cooper ating in planning the day. The Office of War Information has promised that reports of American observances will be broadcast by short-wave to all occupied coun tries. The Inter-Allied Information Service has prepared a pamphlet for distribution. American Youth for a Free World, a group recent ly organized by the Free World Association, is planning a series of meetings. International Students’ Day was first observed in England in 1940. Last year colleges in China, Cuba, Great Britain, India, the United States and South America partic ipated in elaborate ceremonies.

And she will have learned to say to the sales department, “Yes, they look like a match, but I want to be sure they match spectrophotometrical- ly.” Mrs. Granville is not matching up fabrics and leathers now. Her laboratory is largely concerned with color work for defense pur poses. After the war, she says, all they have learned will be useful for many pleasant peaceful pur poses, including women’s clothes. She and Mr. Granville, who di rects the laboratory, are using an electronic machine, called a photo electric spectrophotometer, in their work. Produced by General Electric engineers, the electronic machine sees more accurately than any hu man eye, utilizing electrons to measure color wavelengths, and then recording its findings in the shape of a curve on a piece of graph paper. Using this curve rather than his eyes as a guide, a scientist can match colors exactly. Mrs. Granville, who calls the electronic machine “Oscar,” ex plains that it already is being used for cosmetics. “You can see how it would help match up lipstick and nail polish and how it keeps dif ferent batches of powder the same shade.” She is looking forward to the day when she can tell the house painters just what color curve she wants to use, for then she will be sure of the right shade on the living room walls.
