Knapp is a professor in the History department of the University.
The War Fronts In Earope: EasUiis year brought the definite
prospect of an early end to the
European phases of the war. That
end is fast approaching and it is
coming through the collapse of the
Nazi defenses east of the Rhine.
There, during the week that has
passed, the British armies in the
north and the American armies in
the center of the western front
western Germany. So fast were the
advances that tens of thousands of
Germans were made prisoners and
whole divisions have been encircled

ter

in the Rhur industrial area.
According to latest reports all of
General Eisenhower's nine Allied
armies are across the Rhine. But
the whereabouts of their advance
armored units has been concealed
from the home folks except in the
most general terms, mainly for the
security of Uic units engaged, secondly, because it has no doubt been
difficult to keep in touch with such
fast moving units as tho.se famed
ones of General Pattern's Third
Army.
Thus, at this writing, it Is possible only to state that the British
forces tinder Montgomery seems to
be striking northwestward toward
the great north German ports of
Bremen and Hamburg across the
level country of the Baltic Plain.
Across the middle Rhine, the

appears to have

Forest. Latest rumors place
Patlon's men within 162 miles of
Berlin, but he might be anywhere.
The otlier day General Eisenhower
was credited with saying that he
did not know where Pat ton was because he had not heard from him
for three hours!
Apparently, the German armies
east of the Rhine have been disintegrating during the past week. It
my well be that there is little organized resistance between the Allied advance units and Berlin at
this time. A German general officer
was credited with such a statement
after he had been taken a prisoner
But troops cannot adin

equipment and supplies of food and
ammunition. Patton's Third Army
had to halt finally for those reasons
when it was racing across France
last summer.
The new German
commander General Kessclring,
transferred recently from Italy,
might, within a few days, reorganize
a front on the west which might offer some strong resistance for a
time, enough to permit, perhaps, the
concentration of the remnants of
the Nazi armies in southern Germany, Austria an Czechoslovakia,
for a final desperate stand. Many
think that that is the hope.
The Russian offensives this week
have cleared the Polish Corridor,
captured the Baptic ports of Danzig and Gdynia, and just about
cleaned up all German spots of resistance behind their lines in Poland and East Prussia. Most progress has been repotred, however, by

of a letter written by Judge Richard
C. Stoll, Lexington, chairman of
the executive committee of the board
of trustees, to the Washington attorney who was attempting to get
Wenner-Gren- 's
name stricken from
the black list. The letter in ques-

tion was released Wednesday morning and is printed below.
Harry Caudill, Whitesburg, and
Lloyd Booth and R. B. Eastburn,
both of Lexington, presented the
peUtion to Governor Willis in his
capacity as chairman of the Board
of Trustees.
To Answer Petition
Dr. H. L. Donovan, president of
the University, announced following a quarterly meeting of the board
of trustees Tuesday that the governor would answer the petition. "
"The record will .speak for itself,"
the governor told the trustees.
The trustees themselves answered
what they termed "implied charges"
that they had been unpatriotic by
listing more than 40 members of
their families who are, or have been
in the armed sen-iceof the United
s

States.
Plummer Comments
Commenting on a statement by
Caudill In a letter to Governor Willis charging that Dr. Donovan refused to permit a letter protesting
against the hanging of a portrait of
Judge Stoll in the University library to.be published In the Kentucky
Kernel. Dr. Niel Plummer, acting
director-- ' of ' student publications,
said:
"Caudill presented the letter to
Janet Edwards, editor of the Kernel.
After a conference with Miss Edwards and Caudill which lasted for
one and one-ha- lf
hours. Miss Edwards and I decided not to publish
the letter because it contained libelous material."- He explained that
the fact that the Kernel is a student-edited
newspaper
docs not
render it any less liable for statements it publishes.
SWU Letter Released
Another issue connected with the
veterans' protest which appeared
in newspaper columns this week included the statement by Caudill
that he was dismissed from his job
as monitor in Bradley hall. This
was confirmed by President Donovan in a statement to the Courier-Journa- l.

Judge Stoll's letter, referred to in
the petition, follows in full:

building program
The over-a- ll
projected by the board of trustees
forecast an expenditure of more
than $1,800,000 in new buildings to
be completed when the war end.
Came As Surprise
Plans for the inclusion of a regulation size swimming pool in the
east end of the new fieldhouse-audi-toriuwhich is to memorialize the
war dead, came as a surprise to
students who have long sought a
pool for the University. It was explained by Frank D. Peterson,
comptroller, that the term "regulation size" meant that the pool
would be large enough for all offi
cial records and meets.
'
The architects' proposals for the
pool provided for separate entrances
tend locker facilities for men and
women, and one entire side of the
pool will have outside lighting.
Seating arrangements for 500 have
been tentatively planned.

architects for the fieldhouse-audi-toriuJohn Gillig and associates.

torium seating 12.000 persons, the
seats to be of the permanent opera

In addition to the basketball
auditorium, the plans are being
made so that a special auditorium
can be arranged with a movable
stage, this hall to seat between
4.000 and 5,000 persons.
Lockers, showers, training rooms,
offices for the athletic staff and
some facilities for physical education also are provided in the tentative plans.
Impressive Feature
One of the most Impressive features of the new fleldhouse-audt- torium will be the "memorial hall- opening on Euclid avenue. This hall,
memorializing the war dead, will
be approximately 100 feet long. 35
feet wide and will have a high ceiling. At the door and along Euclid
avenue will be elaborate plantings
and special designs commemorating
the war dead.
Plans for the new dormitory unit
for men. which will complete the
quadrangle along Washuigton avenue, are being drawn by Architect
John Wilson. His tentative plans
which were presented to the board
were approved. The unit will provide a lounge and recreational facilities for all the men's dormitories.
