The Library has received from
the El Paso A. & M. Mothers’

dent General Reading Fund. This,
with other gifts from Mothers’
Clubs over the State, will help
the Library expand its present
number of books.
“This money is being sent by
the Library, according to rules
set up by a student Library com
mittee, for good books which the
boys want to read but which the
Library would not be able to afford
without your help,” T. F. Mayo, the

C-Card Fans At
Bowl Games Face
Federal Checkers
OPA Inspectors Check
Out-of-Town Licenses
For Gas Violations
C-card holders who drove to the
Cotton Bowl Friday for the Texas-
Georgia Tech football game, espe
cially those coming from other
cities, appear headed for trouble.
Inspectors from the state office
of the Office of Price Administra
tion at Fort Worth were at the
Cotton Bowl, too. But they weren’t
watching the game. They were
checking the license numbers of au
tomobiles bearing C-card stickers,
especially those from out of town.
Max McCullough, regional OPA
director, said the investigation had
been directed by Mark McGee,
state OPA director. McCullough
said he could not say what action,
if any, would be taken.
“Naturally, it will be determined
who owned the cars,” he said.
“That is the first step.”
“C-cards were issued only to per
sons who declared the unlimited
mileage was necessary and they
are supposed to be used only for
the purposes declared in the appli
cations. Certainly driving to a
football game is not necessary.
“Any driving for such purpose
should come out of the ninety-mile-
a-month allowance for family use.
Any mileage above ninety is sup
posed to be necessary. Other per
sons are placed at an unfair dis
advantage when C-card holders
use their cards illegally.”
McCullough said cars bearing B-
cards also were checked, but the
inspectors primarily were interest
ed in the C-card cars which came
from a distance.—(Dallas Morning
News).
THE BATTALION
Glass Jewels Aid
Instrument Makers
Mass production of a glass sub
stitute for war-scarce sapphire
jewels has spurred the manufac
ture of millions of delicate indi
cating instruments used in field
radio sets, mobile power stations,
searchlights, and radio control
equipment oboard planes, ships,
and tanks.
The moving parts of such instru
ments are of watch size and deli
cacy, each requiring two cup
shaped jewels comparable in size
to the head of a pin. These are
known as “vee’ jewels, for in the
flat top of each is a V-shaped de
pression in which rotates a cone-
shaped steel pivot.
Before the war American de
mand for vee jewels was supplied
chiefly by Swiss crafsmen, who
cut them from natural or synthetic
sapphires. That supply is now
hopelessly inadequate. Intensive
experimentation in General Elec
tric laboratories has resulted in a
vee jewel made of a special type
of glass, fused and formed by a
mass-production process. As a
result, G.E. now produces enough
vee jewels for its own instrument
output and also sends hundreds of
thousands yearly to other instru
ment makers.
U S Relief Groups
Aid Russian Students
The World Student Service
Fund, the Student War Relief
Agency whose work goes on in
14 Countries on five continents, is
functioning to aid the students of
Russia to carry on. The great
ranks of them have been affected:
those whose families lived in the
scorched earth areas and who have
been cut off from financial aid
from home; and those enrolled in
institutions immersed by the in
vasion which have been forced to
move on to new locations.
Russians—men, women and even
children—are fighting on the bat
tle front. These staunch people
must find the way for their stu
dents to carry on, for leadership
for the Russia of the future and
for aid to Russia now.
Most desperately needed are
medical students to aid the vast
ly increasing number of wounded
from the battle front. From Rus
sian students came a request to
the World Student Service Fund
to send medical squipment and
medical books to help them in their
crisis. To Kharkov Medical Insti
tute, now at Chkalov in the South-
em Urals, books were sent. From
Russia has come the following
cable of gratitude:
“Kharkov Medical Institute ex
presses warm gratitude for gen
erous gift World Student Service

ings to this association, which like

Student Service Fund
Aids U S Prisoners
Pearl Harbor laid directly on the
doorstep of America the need for
the continued work of the World
Student Service Fund—the student
war relief agency whose work goes
on in 14 countries on 5 continents.
The outbreak of war with Japan
meant that soon there would be
American Prisoners of War in the
Far East.
In 1929 three Japanese delegates
signed the Geneva Convention gov
erning the treatment of Prisoners
of War. Though the Japanese
government did not ratify it at
the time, Japan has announced
sines Pearl Harbor that she would
abide by the terms of this treaty.
Within the framework of the
Convention a few relief organiza
tions are allowed to function in
side prison camps to provide var
ious kinds of services for prisoners
of war. The World Student Serv
ice Fund is one of these. From
its office at 8 West 40th Street,
New York, an appeal for books
went to American colleges. These
books are on a ship ready for
shipment to American prison
camps in the Far East. These
books and other study materials
will make it possible for Ameri
can boys to occupy their minds
during the long months of im
prisonment and for many of them
whose college work was interrupted
to take up studies again.
To a neutral committee in Tokio,
made up of Swedish and Swiss
officials and of representatives
of the International Red Cross,
has gone from the World Student
Service Fund and from War Pris
oners’ Aid of the Y.M.C.A. These
funds will be used to buy many
items needed and wanted by the
American prisoners.
From students who are fortu
nate enough to still be in American
colleges, gifts of money and books
will revive in the hearts of Ameri
cans, doomed to imprisonment “for
the duration”, courage for the
future and zeal to develop po
tential qualities of leadership for
our nation in the years that are
to be.
A student in an American uni
versity remarked recently as he
sent his gift “Who knows when
anyone of us will be on the re
ceiving end of the line?”
mocratic countries is today united
in deep feeling of fraternal solidar
ity. We have deep faith in our
victory, in future close ties be
tween scientists and students of
the USSR and mighty transat
lantic republic.”
Through the courtesy of the
Russian War Relief other forms
of aid will be able to go from the
World Student Service Fund. Help
must not be denied to these stu
dents who are studying so heroic
ally in spite of bombings and hard
ships.
Texas-built heavy bombers are
spilling packages of death over
Axis-held territories fro the North
Pacific to the Medeteranean.
The great B-24’s, otherwise des
ignated as Liberators, can be
called Texas’ own planes. The
Fort Worth plant of the Consoli
dated Aircraft Corporation turned
out the first B-24 there 100 days
ahead of schedule, then answered
the call for cargo planes by put
ting out the first C-87 thirty days
ahead of schedule.
Why is Texas proud of the Lib
erator? Just flip through the files
of any newspaper from December,
and you’ll find a record something
like this:
North Pacific.—Army Liberator
bombers attacked Japanese shore
installations on Island of Kiska in
the Aleutians. Heavy explosions
and fires were observed.
In First U. S. Raid on Italy
South Pacific.—B-24 bombers at
tacked Jap forces on New Guinea
front, concentrating their attention
on Madang, north of Vitiaz Strait,
where the enemy was believed to
have landed troops. Bombers
blasted wharf area there with 600-
pound bombs, starting numerous
fires and wrecking a warehouse.
Three of eight Jap fighters, try
ing to intercept them, were shot
down.
Itall.—Liberators took part in
the first American raid on Italy,
heavily damaging entire city of
Naples.
after his rescue in a converted
B-24 bomber.
Yes, the Liberator is doing its
job all over the wirld, and its per
formance reflects the skill of
Texas craftsmen.
Range Exceeds 3,000 Miles
Many of its technical details are
military secrets, but the War De
partment does allow publication of
a few details. The Liberator is
powered by four fourteen-cylinder
engines, is capable of a speed of
more than 300 miles an hour, and
has a range in excess of 3,000
miles. It is a high-winged mono
plane with full retractable tricycle
landing gear, and armor protection
‘o bring it abreast of the latest
requirements in modern warfare.
Fhe span is more than 100 feet,
length is more than sixty feet, and
it has a bomb capacity of more
than four tons.
Do they ever crack up? Yes, all
airplanes are vulnerable. But in
the Aleutian Islands, a cracked-up
B-24 wasn’t deserted. The Army
Air Forces turned it into a control
tower, with the central man stand
ing where a gun turret formerly
was placed, and the sock for indi
cating wind direction flying from
a staff amidship!—(Dallas Morn
ing News)
