Veterans of this war will be given preference in scholarship awards under the memorial fund, Herman B. Wells, president of the University, said. Mrs. Ernie Pyle has accepted the honorary chairmanship of the fund. James S. Adams, president of Standard Brands. New York, as national chairman, has organized a committee representing all sec tions of the nation to gather gifts for the memorial through the In diana University Foundation, a non-profit corporation with offices here. Gifts may be sent direct to the Ernie Pyle Memorial Fund, in care of Indiana University Foun dation, Bloomington, Ind. Ernie Pyle attended schopl here from 1919 to 1923 but left a few weeks before his graduation to ac cept a newspaper job in Laporte, Ind. Last November he returned to Bloomington to receive an "hon orary degree as doctor of humane letters. While he was here, Ernie endorsed the plan for a Pyle schol arship, primarily to train students in the basic work of newspapers. After his death that scholarship was expanded to a memorial so that many students might be aid ed. Gifts which have been received range from $1 to $300 and the don ors include many persons who knew Ernie Pyle only througty his writings. No goal has been set for the memorial fund, but it is hoped that gifts will make possible a number of scholarships each year. A por tion of the fund will be used to bring working newspaper men ; nd women to the campus to give the journalism students practical ad vice. A memorial room will pre serve manuscripts, letters, pictures and objects associated with Mr. Pyle.

Soong, holding increased au thority as new prime minister of China, planned to go to Moscow after the United Nations confer ence to talk with Marshal Stalin. One of the principal purposes of the Chungking cabinet changes, in which Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek delegated the premiership to Soong, this official said, was to facilitate Soong’s conversations with chiefs of other states. He has already been to Wash ington to consult President Tru man. Soviet-Chinese relations have been a weak point in United Na tions harmony. There has been continuing conflict between com munists and the Chungking gov ernment inside China — a likely subject for discussion between Soong and Stalin. The Soviet government was re ported to have told United States authorities it did not support the Chinese communists. But the Sov iet official press has protested fre quently against lack of democracy under Chiang Kai-shek. The new Chinese prime minis ter and Mme. Soong planned a re ception this afternoon for delegates to the United Nations conference, of which Soong is a co-chairman. -V The top speed achievd to uate of any airplane in level flight has been found to be under 600 miles an hmm !*' UP FRONT WITH MAULDIN /-—-— t nr—riii i 1 -' S-3/ C«»r.

MORE LIBERATED YANKS TO ARRIVE WASHINGTON, May 31.— (£>) — Undersecretary of War Patterson said today that an additional 10,000 American soldiers freed from Ger man prison camps will reach the United States by Sunday night. He told a news conference that these arrivals will boost to 37,571 the number of liberated prisoners brought back to this country by ships and airplanes. The number represents, he said, more than one-third of the 90,000 former pris oners of war in Europe who have been returned to American lines, who are in the hands of Allied forces, or in the process of being returned to American control. The figure of 90,000, he said, re presents in the opinion oi the War Department, “substantially all” of the U. S. soldiers taken prisoner in the war against Germany. It is not expected, he said, that many of those who are listed as missing in action will later turn up as having been prisoners of war. -V You can visit China, Egypt, Hol land, Ireland, Italy, Palestine, and Turkey—and never leave Texas.
