24th Division
Menaces Limon,
Key to Ormoc
By C. YATES McDANIEL
GENERAL MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS. Philippines,
Nov. 17 (I') Stubbornly dlndd, shell blasted Limon, key to
the Ormoc road, wis within grasp of weather beaten units ol
the 24lh U. 8. dlvlilon today they took virtual control of dom
inating Breakneck ridge.
Fred Hompion, Aasociated Press war correspondent with the
24th, reported American units coming down the slopes of Break
neck ridge from the west had advanced lo within 1000 yards ot
the Ormoc valley village.
Other American units on the ast were held up by Japanese
strongly entrenched In ravines and gullies.
Another 24th division force Is behind the Japanese on the
Ormoc roed, two and a half miles south of Limon, but has not
been able to cut the road entirely because of heavy Japanese
concentrations on a hillside commanding the highway. The Jap
anese have not been able to use the road either, because me
Americans are keeping it under continual mortar and machine

scribing the president's visit to

"From . the green-curtnlned

Jerked Irritably back and forth.
Then a voice, familiar to all of

Thomas L. Leonard, democrat

because I was tending tho ma
chine. He did not use any pro
fane language at any time.
"'What' ha said was, 'Tom,
JAP CRUISER SUNK
what's the matter with this
thing? It doesn't work. Oh, it's
all right now'."
Leonard said "the president
was delayed only a moment
when the lever failed to swing
completely over. The president
talked through the curtain and
did not come out of the booth
until after ho had completed vot
ing. I was not more than two
feet away. I doubt if tho specta

could hear what he said to me."

Strand Outlines Desperate
Need for College Buildings
A desperate need for building
construction at Oregon higher
educational institutions was de
scribed today by Dr. A. L.
Strand, president of Oregon
State college, in a talk at the
luncheon meeting of the Klam
ath Rotary club.
Outlining .the problem at Ore
gon State, which he said is di
rectly applicable to the Uni
versity of Oregon and to some
extent to the other higher
schools, the Corvallis president
declared that "for 17 years, the
state of Oregon certainly hasn't
strained itself to provide ade
quate buildings for its colleges."
He showed that in the 17
years, state building appropria
tions have been virtually nil,
and most of the money for such
fiurposes has come from build
ng ;.fces assessed upon students.
Serious Problem
The building problem as he
described it is especially serious
in view of the probable heavy
demands, upon the institutions
for education as men and women
return from the armed services.
At Oregoh State. Dr. Strand said,
the - increase in enrollment ap
pears likely to rise sharply, pos
sibly from 2000 to 7000.
He presented a chart Which
showed the rise and decline of
college enrollment. After per-
I iods of decline, such as has oc
curred during the war, there
have invariably been sharp rises,
and that may be expected mis
time, he said.
Strono Interest
Oregon, he pointed out, has
125.000 men in the armed serv
ices. Of these, 50,000 are under
26 years of age. He estimated
that nerhaos 25.000 will be in
terested in education, and from
10,000 to 15,000 may seek higher
education in Oregon schools.
Questionnaires have shown
strong interest among veterans
in forestry, agriculture and en
gineering, indicating a heavy de
mand upon the college.
ur. strand sam mat an sta
tistics point to a vigorous in
terest among Oregon people in
the welfare of schools. This
state Is third or fourth in the
nation in educational level of its
people, and first in the percent
age of young people in higher
institutions.- If the people of the
state learn tne real plant proD
lems at the state schools, he said,
he is certain they will insist up
on tne necessary action to solve
them.
Good Plant Essential
' Dr. Strand said he is not niac
ins building values above staff,
but that a good plant is essential
to an effective educational iob.
He told how buildings at both
