Debate Heads
Refute Charge
Of Inefficiency
Dorsett Claims
Action Taken
By Council ,
By Ed Lashman
Partially answering charges by Elsie
Lyon, Mac MacLendon, and Dick Railly
of "inefficency" in the Debate council,
Dewey Dorsett, University party mem
ber of the decate council, said that the
council had already taken action on the
reforms suggested by the three squad
members and that their statements,
though justified, were "a little behind
the times."
In a letter to the editor of the Daily
Tar Heel, Carrington Gretter refuted
statements made by Miss Lyon in her
column, and said that he was "elected
president of the council by council
members, and that he was representa
tive to the council from the Di, not a
politician."
Offering as evidence the fact that
the council met Tuesday night after the
squad meeting and acted on the resolu
tions by working out plans whereby
the squad could have decision debates
whenever they wanted to, that the
squad is going to enter the Rock Hill
tournament November 3-6, and that
plans are being drawn up for the nom
ination of councilmen to be elected by
the campus on a merit system and by
the squad, Dorsett said that action had
already been taken and that reforms
and reorganization were being worked
out now.
Worley Invites Coeds
To Union Activities
. Fish Worley, with a wicked gleam
in his eye, sent out an SOS yesterday
for more coeds to come and enjoy the
beauties of his domicile, otherwise
known as Graham Memorial.
"We are fixing up Room 214 with
a coffee table, and four easy chairs
for a game of bridge or record pro
grams," said Fish in trying to entice
the coeds to his lair.
But that's not the only new improve
ment, for Graham Memorial is now the
home of the Sound and' Fury office,
full length mirrors are being placed
in the ladies' reception room, and there
are now two coeds on the board of
directors of Graham Memorial.
"Coeds pay the student union fee as
well as the men, and we hope they
will come in and take advantage of our
reading room, the 50 albums of classical
music and popular records, and the new
free game room." j
Luftwaffe Bombers Launch
Savage Raids on British Isles
By United Press
German bombers today made their most savage attack on the British Isles
in more than three months as Nazi authorities took bloody reprisals for mount
ing sabotage and the Soviet High Command claimed success on all battle fields.
Luftwaffe bombers swept coastal areas from Scotland to the Straits of Dover,
and it was feared casualties and damage would be high in at least two towns.
Terrific anti-aircraft fire and fighters battled the raiders in clear moonlight.
A late Soviet communique said Red troops, in a stubborn two-day battle in
the Ukraine, had slain 2,700 Germans and captured more than 500, and great
stores of supplies. -
The revolt against Nazi repression surged acros the occupied countries of j

WASHINGTON, October 2. Congressional "appeasers" and "obstruction
ists" were challenged today by Senator Claude Pepper to seeic a vote 01 comi
dence in the two houses. Pepper frequently has anticipatd major policy movs
bv President Roosevelt.
At the same time he urged the Presidnt not to engage Congress in a battle
over repeal of the Nutrality Act and suggested strategy by which it could
be avoided.
He said that it is necessary only for Mr. Roosevelt to invoke the proclama
tions which make combat areas into which American merchantmen may not en
ter. If Conress disagrees, it can reinstate the area.
WASHINGTON, October 2. The White House expressed hope tonight that
"an entering wedge for the practice of complete freedom of religion" in Soviet
Russia is "definitely on its way."
Issuance of the statement coincided with rising controversy over President
Roosevelt's statement that the Soviet Constitution provides the same rights to
freedom of worship as those enjoyed by Americans.
LAKELAND, Ga., October 2. A quiet middle-aged grandmother who was a
schoolteacher bef ere she became Georgia's first lady for f oru years, tonight was
given much of the credit for having prevented an armed political crank from
kidnapping her husband, former-Governor E. J. Rivers for ransom. The would-be-kidnapper
committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth two hours
after he failed in the attempt to abduct Rivers from his home last night.
Football Contest Blanks

One of the four meal tickets in this
week's football contest will go to a
coed, announced Fish Worley last
night, suddenly becoming coed-conscious.
Blanks have been placed in the en
trance hall of Graham Memorial and
any student who would like a free
meal ticket in Lenoir Dining Hall is
asked to come by and fill out a blank.
Entrants are asked to give the

and pick the winners in 19 other
games to be played tomorrow. En
tries must be in by tomorrow noon.

"Victory" Sandwich
Designed by Professor
To Aid Defense Effort
Swing, slang and sandwich consti
tute the three "S's" of American youth
and promise to occupy high places in
the American folklore that is now in
the making. Phychologists have point
ed out that this oddly-matched trio
contributes in large share to American
vitality and influences in just as high
a degree the natures and dispositions of
millions of youngsters from high school
to college ages.
Yet, even these typically American
S's" are undergoing changes in the
light of the National Defense program.
Swing has become militant, slang re
flects the blitzkrieg-dive-bomber era
and now the sandwich "goe vitamin"
in a large, constructive way.
,Dr. Tom D. Spies, professor of medi
cal research at the University of Texas
and the University of Alabama, associ
ate professor of medicine at the Univer
sity of Cincinnati, and world-famous
for his fight on pellagra in the mal
nourished areas of the South, recom

"A combination of this bread and

Healthful"
"Such a product, peanut butter, when
combined with up to 20 per cent of

natural vitamins of the B complex, and
a good source of protein, fat and calo
ries as well.
" 'Peeled wheat bread,' produced by
the Earle flotation process of manuf ac

Congress
May Alter
Draft Act
College Students
Would Be Deferred
Under Langer Bill
Announcement came yesterday from
Selective Service headquarters in
Washington of pending legislation in
Congress which may alter the draft
act to allow for mass deferment of
college students until the end of the
academic year.
Boards all over the nation were noti
fied that the Langer Bill, now before
the Senate Military Affairs committee,
includes clauses which will "continue
the flow of trained leaders so much
needed both during and after the pres-
sent war period."
Revamped Law
The revamped law would allow any
person who has entered college, and
completed at least one year of work
toward a recognized degree, to finish
the academic year, and make prepara
tion for continuing the courses after
service in the armed forces.
Coming on the heels of a previous
survey by the government which re
vealed that 85 per cent of college seniors
and 45-per cent of college juniors are
of Selective Service age, the bill will
"assure the continuation of colleges
and universities that may otherwise be
jeopardized by loss of students." .
At present local boards are being
advised by national headquarters to
fully investigate the applications' for
deferment, and act in the best inter
ests of the government and the student.
Playmakers Hold

day.

en men, will be chosen entirely on the

ment of San Jose State College, has
become one of only three persons in

tern painters one of whom is a wo-

Reitzel was awarded a degree of
exhibited to the examining board a
collection of 27 paintings.
Ordinarily, candidates for the doe-
viously studied to any great degree.
The writing is preceded by years of
research work and the candidate's
tation.
in the case of Reitzel, his 27 paint
ings constituted his "dissertation" for
his degree.
Of these paintings, four had won
prizes in major art exhibitions; 18
had been exhibited in national art
exhibits, and the remainder had nev
er been shown before, having been
painted especially for his "doctorate"
examination. They are chiefly land
scapes. As the examining committee studied
his paintings, he was "quizzed" about
the principles of art, its various tech
niques, and the influence of different
schools of artists. At the end of the
exhibition and the examination, Prof.
Reitzel, became Dr. Reitzel. V
Reitzel came to San Jose State Col-
lege as head of the art department in
1938. He had taught previously Chi-
