SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1942 PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TAR HEEL, .General Eisenhower Directing Forces In New Theater of War Drive May Be Possible Pincer Attack Designed to Crush Rommel's Legions WASHINGTON-Nov. 7. (UP) American Army and Navy forces equipped with "the most modern weapons are landing to night on Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of French African colonies in the opening of the long-heralded second front against the Axis, the White House announced tonight. The White House and War Department announced that the landing occurred shortly after 9 p. m. The invasion of Africa evidently is on a tremendous scale. It is commanded by Lieut. Gen. Dwight Davis Eisenhower, commander of United States forces in the European theater. The White House also issued the text of a broadcast message by President Roosevelt to the people of-France informing them in their own language of the purpose of the expedition and assur ing them that the Allies seek no territory and have no intention of interfering with friendly French authorities in Africa. The announcement did not precisely locate the American land ings, but it appeared possible that the maneuver could develop into the western end of a pincer strategy designed to crush Ger man Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's Axis legions once and for all in north Africa. The White House said that the invasion was undertaken for three reasons : 1) To prevent Axis military occupation of any part of western Africa. . : 2) To deny the Axis any African springboard to launch an at tack against America. 3) To provide second front assistance to "our heroic allies in Russia." "The landing of this American army is being assisted by Brit ish naval and air forces and it will in the immediate future be re inforced by a considerable number of divisions of the British army,"' the White House announcement said: "This expedition will develop into a major effort by the Allied nations and there is every expectation that it will be successful in repelling the planned German and Italian invasion of Africa and will be the first heroic step in the liberation and restoration of France." GENERAL McARTHUR'S HEAD- j QUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA Nov. 8 (UP) Australian ground troops have penetrated Papua in the vicini ty of Buna, Japanese sea base of New Guinea, a communique said today. MOSCOW Nov. 8 (UP) The So viet High Command announced today that the Red Army had shattered new enemy attacks in Stalingrad and had inflicted heavy losses in tanks and plants on Axis forces in the Caucasus where the German drive towards rich Russian oil fields has been stalled for five days. CAIRO Nov. 7 (UP) Lieut. Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery ordered his Eighth Army tonight to finish the job of "removing the Germans from north Africa" as his forces pressed hot on the heels on the wrecked Afrika Korps which was striving to brace for a stand on the Libyan frontier. LONDON -Nov. 7 )UP) Ameri can and British planes blasted the port area of Brest today in a raid on the German-held coast after the Royal Air Force had struck power fully at Italy last night, heavily bomb ing Genoa and leaving the key port aglow with flame visible for 120 miles. WASHINGTON Nov. 7 (UP) At least 5,188 Japanese troops have been killed in land fighting in the Solomons since United States forces invaded that area on Aug. 7, the Navy announced late today, indicating that American troop loses are something under 1,000. The Navy set Jap losses at - this figure in a late afternoon communique issued a few hours after the disclosure that the United States Army forces of Quadalcanal advanced several miles against enemy forces east of Hender son field on Friday. An erlier com munique also disclosed that Marines had repulsed light enemy attacks from west of the field. On the Hour . .

SCHINHAN (Continued from first page) sical education enabled him to return to work which he had done earlier in his career. He became a concert organist and teacher of organ, piano and composi tion, and for a number of years was organ soloist with the San Francisco Symphony. He was guest organist at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco for several summers and gave recitals there also during the winter. From 1924 to 1933 Dr. Schinhan was in charge of the organ department in the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He went back to Vienna for a year in 1933 and received his Ph.D. from the University of Vienna. Upon his return to America he spent one year at Columbia University. In the late summer of 1935, Dr. Glen Haydon, head of the Music de partment, having known Dr. Schin han's work in California invited him to join the staff here. He teaches or gan, piano, and composition, which includes harmony and counterpoint, and graduate courses in folk music. Dr. Schinhan comes from a talented family. His grandfather left home, changed his name, and became a prom inent actor in the famous Berg Thea tre in Vienna. Dr. Schinhan's mother was a concert pianist before her mar riage, and afterwards taught music to the children of the Archduke Albert von Thurn und Taxis in Ratisbon. The archduke made young Jan Philip his protege, who was trained first at the Church music school at Ratisbon. Here he, studied organ for four years with the master Joseph Renner, and also under the internationally known teachers, Michael Haller and F. X. Haberl. After his graduation from the Church music school he studied piano with Kellerman, the pupil of Liszt, and composition with Frederick Klose, the Swiss composer, and conducting with Felix Mottl, later played violin in his orchestra. Before coming to America he conducted in several state theaters. Dr. Schinhan is the author of a number of compositions. His concerts are always highlighted by a charming interlude of improvisations on themes suggested by members of the audience.

Gitin To Lecture In Hillel Today Rabbi Joseph Gitin will continue his lectui-e on "Marriage and Judaism" today at 11 a. m. in the Hillel house. "All interested are urged to attend," announces Mr. Gitin., AMERICA (Continued from page two) mond S. McKeough against Senator Wayland Brooks, on a real victory program. True, McKeough was beaten, but he rolled up a sizable vote against the Chicago Tribune's all powerful defeatist clique. Finally, the administration must step in. The old adage that a Presi dent should keep out of local elections doesn't hold water in these times. President Roosevelt, with the cooper ation of the offensive-minded Wen dell Wilkie, could have, if they were bold enough to cut across their own party divisions, supported, and cam paigned for win-the-war Democrats and Republicans. Instead, both in dorsed luke-warm candidates in New York, and thus both compromised the all-out victory program which they have advocated as the only way out for America. The coming months are going to be critical, and Congress isn't going to make the picture brighter. Al ready poll-tax Representative Ran kin of Mississippi has begun another drive to kill all labor legislation. This will be just another of the many com ing diversions which will force the leaders of the labor movement to de vote all their attention to Congress instead of to the production lines where it's needed most. Keep your eyes glued on the battle fronts ; they're important. But what ever you do, turn your head once in a while toward Capitol Hill. There's a very important front there, and right now the situation is critical. BROWN (Continued from first page) other orchestra has been obtained for the first dance. Admission for the Friday night dance, the first German ever to be opened to the entire campus, will be two dollars, stag or couple.

MINOR ( Continued from first page ) nor served as war correspondent for various American and Canadian papers. He gained nationwide fame as head cartoonist for the St. Louis Post Dispatch, and was war correspondent in France and Italy for the "N.E.A." of the Scripps Howard newspapers during the first world war. Minor is a native of San Antonio, Texas. COMMUNISTS FOOTBALL r (Continued from page two) ship of revolutionary forces in the country, the Party contributed to the labor movement by favoring indus trial unionism, strike movements, the political action in the formation of a farmer-labor party and struggle for Negro rights. The next few years saw the chief problem in the. Communist Party of transforming it from a federation of National group organizations to a uniform, united and centralized body. This it accomplished in 1929 and be gan now to throw its influence and weight as a body, though it was very small comprising only some 7,000 1 members. During 1930-32 it initi ated the unemployment movement. " It also participated in the initiation of the veterans' bonus movement and the subsequent "March on Washing ton." The Communist Party organ ized the great unemployment demon stration which brought over a mil lion demonstrators in the streets all over the United States. During the first years of the N.R. A. the Communist Party took a vio lent dislike to General Hugh John son and many of the New Deal prin ciples. However, because of its en dorsement of Section 7a, N.I.R.A., which guaranteed workers' right of organization in unions of their own choice, they began to favor Mr. Roosevelt as a body. In 1936 they backed President Roosevelt openly though he declined to accept their support. The next year the Com munist Party openly supported the President on both the Supreme Court issue and his speech in Chicago ad vocating the "quarantine of agres sor nations." However, the Communist Party re- garded the government's attitude to ward Insurgent Spain unfavorably and loudly objected to American backing Finland in 1939. In the same year Soviet Russia signed a non-aggression pact with Germany putting Communists in America in an extremely awkward position. Earl Browder has explained their atti tude by declaring that in the opinion of the Communist Party Soviet Rus sia had no possible alternative and since the pact strengthened the po sition of the United States it was supported by the party. The Communist Party indorsed the President's third term and swung their unified support behind him when in 1941 he and Mr. Churchill energetically backed Soviet Russia in her war with Germany. The Com munist Party in America proclaims complete allegiance in the United states government and the prin ciples this country is fighting for though its prestige has been seriously impaired by its policy of "boring from within." This policy was adopted early in the thirties and turned many people from its active support not only within its ranks but in the coun try as a whole. DISCUSSION (Continued from first page) speak.

That wound up the scoring, but the game enaeu shortly thereafter with the winners threatening again. Davidson's lighter team was bat 0tW1 into submission by the Tar Heel I forward wall today, while the Carolina secondary demonstrated the most speea and deception in walloping the Wild cats that the Tar Heels have shown this season. - Bill Sigler, Clay Croom, and Joe Aus tin led the devastating running attack of the victors. Sigler, playing xne greatest game of his career, averaged six vards each time he carried the ball. Croom, running from the wingback spot while in the game, averaged nine yards per try, while Austin, reversing and running magnificently, averaged 6.3 yards. Passing Hot The , undeniable Tar Heel warriors completed 10 out of 16 passes today. Myers, Cox and Pecora demonstrated fine marksmanship, hitting their receiv ers all afternoon. Cox completed four out of five passes, while Myers and Pecora each hit the mark on three WLB (Continued from first page ) lanta, where he begins his work im mediately.

Myers scored two of the Carolina touchdowns while Cox, Austin, Arbes and Johnson each tallied once. The Tar Heels were in top form throughout the afternoon and Davidson was outclassed from the opening whistle. Carolina's entire team was clicking as a deadly point-making unit, playing its best game of the year. Coach Tatum sub stituted freely, giving every man on the squad an opportunity to play.
