Germany must be disarmed mentally as well as materially, Dr.
Harry van Walt told University
students and staff members at

on

Tuesday.
There is no royal and peaceful
road to this disarmament, he said,

for the mind of the German Is the
training in domresult of age-ol- d
ination. The man of the house's
word is law, and each boy asserts
himself when he sets up a home In
order to gain a feeling of superiority, which he never felt in his childhood.

The German people must bs completely dominated, said Dr. van
Walt, for they have only contempt
for any other treatment. He said
that while the treaty with Germany
was being drawn up during the last
war, Prussian leaders and militarists were plotting a second World
War. Thus, the only hope of leading Germany is through power on
the part of the Allied nations them-- ,
selves, he declared.
The greatest danger which may
come out of this war is a psychological upheaval which would be
apparent in a reversion to Intense
nationalism or isolationism, and
this must not happen, he said.

Bluegrass To Be Portrayed
In M.nsical Comedy Soon

4
By Adcle Denman
You're likely to find everything
from Colonels and mint juleps to
horses and blue grass in Mrs. Den-z- il
new musical
Hollingsworth's
comedy, "Out of the Blue," which
will be given during the week of
August 13 at the Guignol theatre.
This humorous, yet sentimental
portrait of Kentucky is purely a
product of local talent. It is writ
ten by a Lexington resident with
songs by Maury Madison of Winchester, and directed by Wallace
Briggs of the University under the
sponsorship of the American Legion.
The play was written for the
musical selections of Mr. Madison,
whose music was introduced in
France before the war by the famous
Dali sisters. Though handicapped
by blindness, the composer has writ
ten numerous songs, seven of which
will be introduced in the play.
The plot deals with an actress, an
actor, and a composer down on
funds, who come to visit an owner
of a Kentucky horse farm, only to
find that the man's house has been
sold to an old friend they met in
show business.
The friend's wife returns after
they have been there a time, and
the Negro maid leads her to believe
that her guests are royalty. By a
twist of circumstances the guests
are forced to pretend that they are.
The scenes that follow are packed
with a hilarious series of incidents,
until the happy ending where the
composer sells some songs and the
guests return to New York.
Highlights of the performance are
likely to be the excellent singing of
Lucille Little, former student of
teachFrank La Forge,
er of Lawrence Tibbit, and the
character part of the Colonel, as
interpreted by Jewell Doyle. Margaret McCorkle's black-fac- e
act
where she sings "A Dish of Dixie," a
musical receipt for making the
South, is outstanding comedy. Other
cast members are Ed Mills, Johnny
Henfro, Robert Wright, Evelyn Ben
nett, Larry Snedeear, and Jessie
Sun. Henry Foushee is the techni
well-kno-

cal director and Nancy Skeen is in
charge of interiors.
The music is excellent, and the
songs themselves should make the
play well worth seeing.
Tickets for the performance are
$1.50 and the proceeds will go for
the rehabilitation of returning vet-

erans.

Sgt. Holland Returns
Staff Sergeant Karl Miller Holland, son of Mr. and Mrs. Miller
Holland, Owensboro, has returned
to the United States after 38 months
in the Pacific. He will be in this
country for a
furlough before returning to the Pacific.
Sgt. Holland would have graduated from the College of Law in
1942, but he enlisted before graduation. He is a member of Delta
Chi fraternity.
Mr. and Mrs. Holland are both
members of the University class

tion and Training of the death of
six former University students serving in the U. S. Army.
Official word has been received
by Mrs. H. P. Moffett that her son,

Marine Lt Albert W. Moffett, .28,
a former University student, lost
his life when a Japanese prison ship
was torpedoed December 31, 1944,
somewhere in the Pacific.
Lt. Moffett, who was taken prisoner by the Japanese at the fall of
Corregidor, was reported missing
after the Corregidor action, and was
later reported a prisoner of war.
He entered the Marine Corps as a
second lieutenant upon graduation
from the University in 1939. After
training in the United States, he
went overseas in 1940 with the
Fourth Marine Division and served
in Shanghai, China, before he was
ordered to the Pacific theater.
At the University Lt. Moffett
majored in military science; was
president of Kappa Alpha fraternity; captain of Scabbard and
Blade; lieutenant of Pershing Rifles; and cadet colonel of the University! ROTC unit.
Capt. Robert S. Sauer of Louisville, who graduated from the University in 1927, was killed In action
on July 10, 1942 in the Pacific area.
He was previously reported missing.
First Lt. George Alger Van Arsdall
of Harrodsburg, who attended the
University in 1935-3- 8 is reported to
have been killed when the Japanese
prisoner-of-wship in which he
was being transported was sunk in
Subic Bay. Lt. Van Arsdall was a
student in the College of Engineering.

Reservations Surpass
Available Rooms
Plans are being made by the office of the dean of women to accomodate the. enlarged enrollment of
women expected at the University
in September.
As of August 1, over 600 applications for living quarters had been
received, exclusive of the rooms in
nine sorority houses and the two
cooperative units. Dormitory space
for 561 girls is available, Mrs.
Holmes said.
In the dormitories all two-gi- rl
rooms will be doubled into
rooms. Thus, the halls will be fuller
than they were last year.
All sorority houses have been
filled to overflowing, and each
group has been urged to fill every
available space in the respective
houses.
The office of the dean expects to
receive from five to ten application
a day for rooms for women from
now until the middle of September.
Women students will be placed in
rooms in private homes in parts of
the city close enough to the University to provide easy commuting for
the students. Thsee homes must

Former Young French Spy Will Discuss

By Casey Goman
"Yes, you may call me a spy,"
Mile. Sabine Donatienne Patricie

America on a speaking tour for
American Relief for France, Incorporated, will be a member of the
panel discussing the

Mile. Wormser told how, in 1939,
she was in Brittany when the Germans moved in. The inhabitants of
the village couldn't do anything
without official permission, and no
news of the outer world filtered in
to the anxious inhabitants. Finally
she received a travel permit and
went to Nice, In the south of France.
There she began her activities
with the French underground.
From 1939 until the end of the war
she worked at various tasks, which

Included drafting plans of military
placements, drawing maps and replicas of German military ensignia
to be sent to England for the purpose of identification of troops.
She sat at her window, knitting,
and counted the carloads of German troops going by, and also the
movement of supplies on the railroads. She maintained some connection with the French maquis.
In speaking of the living conditions in an occupied country. Miss
Wormser said that she is considered

Miss Wormser graduated In philosophy from the Sorbonne in 1939,
when she was 19 years old.
After the liberation of France she
enlisted in the Corps Auxillalre
