Dean of men Dean Newhouse estimated today that 125 of the !)00 men now living In fraternity houses are employed In war in dustries. Eight of the 33 frater nities will accept any war worker recommended by the dean of men's office, even non-students, while others offer accomodations to their own former members. "The fraternities are unani mous In reporting that combina tion of defense workers with fra ternity men Is satisfactory," Dean Newhouse explained. ' "The houses are taking war workers in on an equal basis, ask ing them to house entertainments and giving them all the privileges of the fraternity except an invi tation to chapter meetings. It's good for the workers because they meet congenial fellows and It's good for the students because it keeps them aware that they are not apart from the war. One fraternity house advertis ed recently that billiard tables and box lunches went along with room and board for war industry workers. The room and board Innovation Is mutually beneficial. Houvs which might suffer financially while men students go into indus try and the armed forces arc able to stay out of the red.

The communique reported also that sharp skirmishes with the enemy were continuing in the Dlgos area of Mindanao, southern-most of the large Philippine Islands, where sudden, savage raids by guerrilla bands have de stroyed huge stores of Japanese supplies and inflicted heavy cas ualties on the enemy. Corregldor and the other forti fied Islands of Manila bay were reported still under heavy artil lery fire from enemy batteries on both sides of the bay, but the forts still were replying with counter-fire. Some casualties were suffered by the Corregidor garri son in four raids by flights of Ja panese heavy bombers today, Lieutenant General Walnwright reported to the war department, but the damage to military in stallations was slight.

Ill the last 24 hours, Corregl dor's guns were officially credit ed with sinking a Japanese ship off the Bataan coast and smash ing Japanese small invasion-type boats massed at the fishing vil lage of Mariveles.
