Reds Massacre
Trapped Nazis
LONDON, Jan. 27 (UP)-
Flying fortress and liberator
bombers made the first Ameri
can raid of the war on Germany
today blasting the Wilhelmhaven
naval base and the RAF gave
Copenhagen its first attack in a
swift double implementation of
the Allies new formula to crush
Axis war power utterly.
The two "firsts" in the stead
ily felt Allied air offensive over
Europe came less than 24 hours
after disclosure of the "uncon
ditional surrender conference"
between President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winston Church
ill in Africa.
The huge four-engined Amer
ican bombers flew 300 miles over
the North sea in daytime and
bombed Wilhelmshaven heavily, a
US Air Force communique said,
and although observation of re
sults was difficult the harbor was
believed to have been badly
smashed.
MOSCOW, Jan. 28 (Thurs
day) (UP) The Red army had
driven to within 62 miles south
east of Rostov, killed or cap
tured more than half of the 12,
000 German survivors at Stalin
grad and seized two west Cau
casus towns, the Soviet high
command said today.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 27 (UP)
Screen actor Errol Flynn made
a general denial today to the ac
cusations of 16-year-old Peggy
Satterlee that he attacked her
twice while aboard his yacht.
' Flynn, testifying in his own
defense against charges of stat

in Miss Satterlee's cabin at all.
In fact, he said, he went to sleep
in his own stateroom and did not
get up until morning.
"None of the things she men
tioned actually occurred," the
actor said.
"Did you ever go into Miss
Satterlee's cabin and pull down
the covers," asked Defense At
torney Perry Geisler.
"I did not," said Flynn.

Analysis of Registration
Shows Drop in 33 States
By Bob Levin
Registration totals broken up
into states show that a total of
12 states have no students reg
istered at the University for the
Winter quarter, 33 states drop
ped in number of enrollees while
Alabama, Georgia ana Vermont
increased slightly.
No definite section of the coun
try was represented in the states
that dropped as the analysis
shows that' a decrease was felt
in states ranging from Maine
to Florida and out to North Da
kota. Biggest percentage fall was
among the larger states with
New York leading. The Em
pire state lost 33 percent .for a
total of 100 students and North
Carolina lost only 20 percent but
enrollment dropped 490 students.
Most interesting feature of the
release was the increase of two
foreign students.
Eight states have three or less
students with five of them to
taling only one. California, Kan
sas, Montana, New Mexico and
Utah have remained at fall quar
ter totals.
States losing only one student
above low registration point of
three enrollees include Louisia
na, Maryland, Tennessee, Arkan
sas, and the District of Colum
bia. Consensus of the chart was
that states sending a small
amount of students here contin
ued to hold their own or drop
only slightly while larger states
lost heavily. It is expected that
the next registration period will
show a greater percentage of the
smaller states dropping out altogether.
Reversing an earlier ruling,
Pre-f light officials today announ
ced that the cadets at the Navyj
school will be topside when the lo
cal President's Birthday ball is
held Saturday, January 30 in
Woollen gymnasium.
This order and the spurt of
ticket sales in the last few days
has made Harry Comer, ball com
mittee member, call for a new
printing of Birthday ball tickets.
Tickets are still available at the
YMCA, Carolina Inn and Led-
better-Pickard's, but the stocks
are getting low and to avoid any
trouble, we've ordered another 1,-
000," said Comer.
Priced at one dollar, the ticket
admits a couple and the money
collected from admissions will
benefit the infantile paralysis
fund, the organization in which
Franklin Delano Roosevelt has
played so active a part.
In addition to the many cadets
who are now expected to attend,
Navy officials indicated that the !
Pre-flight officer's staff would j
turn out 100 per cent for the
dance.
For the convenience of the ca
dets, tickets will be on sale at the
YMCA until 5 p. m. Saturday
and at the door of Woollen that
night when the ball gets under
way at 9 p. m.

Science has failed to find a sa
tisfactory explanation for the
creation of the Earth, said Dr.
Harlow Shapley in his third and
final lecture in the McNair series
j last night in Hill hall.
Eight theories have been sug
gested, he said, but there have
been serious faults with all of
them. Although it seems certain
that the Earth and the other
planets did not originate in the
mass of the sun, conclusive evi
dence as to their derivation re
mains to be supplied.
Secret Invention
In his lecture, which was il
lustrated with slides and with
movies made by the French scien
tist Lyot of the luminous corona
and violent explosions of gases
on the sun, he revealed that the
United States government has re
stricted information on the
Frenchman's invention, the co-
ronagraph, for by its use the
government expects to obtain
valuable information on the ef
fects of the sun in determining
radio performance and weather
conditions.
Shapley's first remarks were in
appreciation of the warm recep
tion he had received, and he
