Wallace of Chester, president of the Alumnae association of Winthrop college, said tonight the association's executive committee "did circularize the student body after learning that orders had been issued that they were to take no part in political affairs nor to organize in any way to promote legislation." Mrs. W. L. Daniel of Greenwood, a Winthrop trustee whose term expires, this senate year, told finance a joint and meeting house ways and means committees in Columbia yesterday that "letters to the students of Winthrop were placed in their mail boxes just before they left" for Christmas holidays. Mrs.

Daniel said that the substance of the letters was: "We want you to help defeat Mrs. Daniel" for reelection. The alumnae association at a meeting in Columbia December 13 endorsed Mrs. Horace Tilghman for the trusteeship. Mrs.

Wallace said that the letter to the students was "copied in almost every paper in the state and many of them out of the state. "The committee defies any person or persons to show the name of any trustee written in said letter and therefore does not deserve that dirty dig 'that was a low piece of The Winthrop matter bobbed up when legislators questioned President Shelton Phelps of the college, who was discussing his appropriation request, about the failure of the school to rehire two instructors, Dr. Elizabeth Harris, an English instructor, and Helen C. MacDonald, a sociology instructor. said that the American Association of University professors had protested this failure.

iel accused the AAUP of propaganda around the state," and added that "a very small group allied with outside organization has tried ton discount some of the members of the board coming up for reelection." SELFISH INTERESTS CHARGED Mrs. Wallace said that "surely it is time a 'small group' (of 12,490 graduates) work to free public agencies from selfish agencies and interests. There is no individual indispensable to any position. "The Winthrop alumnae regret very much that it has been necessary to have any unfavorable publicity against their beloved alma mater, but it seems that some are determined to bring personal charges and selfish interests before the public to Winthrop's detriment.

Copyright, 1940, Dally Mirror) Oh, I have tried to change and mend my ways, And make myself a worthy lad for you; I know it to be true that virtue pays, That wine and revelry will never do; But I have failed you time and time again, And lost the lure that I once held you by; The phrases that were soft as April rain Now waken in your heart no answering cry. Well, better so, a lad will come for you Alive with all the virtues that I lack; You will be glad that I have proved untrue Nor own the least regret in looking back.

A survey yesterday showed that the city's dealers in new automobiles are attempting to increase their service forces with the view to "keeping open" with funds received from auto repairs.

It was shown, however, that mechanics are "hard to get" since war work and increased war production has called into action practically every good technician available. That more persons now employed by the automobile firms will lose their jobs was indicated by the dealers contacted. Saving expenses wherever possible so that the "doors can stay open" seemed to be the watchword for all dealers. Despite almost complete curtailment of their major source of bustness, every dealer contacted during the survey said stoppage of automobile production was a proper move and that their loss of business is a "small enough sacrifice" to make for the war effort. Here's How Billions Are To Be Spent WASHINGTON, Jan.

7. (AP) Here listed in round figures the billions this country proposes to spend during the fiscal year beginning next July--the biggest budget in the history of the world: Fifty-six billions for war, including two or three billions from nonbudgetary government agencies such as the RFC. Four and one-fourth billions for normal government costs, relief, farm aid, etc. One and three-fourths billions for interest on the public debt. And here is the method of paymentieen and one-half billions from existing tax laws.

Seven billions new general taxes. Two billions in new social security taxes. Thirty-five billions from Treasury borrowing, plus additional borrowing by government non-budgetary agencies. All of which means that: Spending will jump from the present two to five billions a month. The world war spending peak18 and one-half passed this year and almost "tripled during the next fiscal year.

The public debt, after borrowing, will be 110 billions. And finally: All these items comprise what Americans already are calling a "victory budget." 3 American Pilots Tackle 108 Planes Of Jap Formation (Continued From Page One) landed in a Chinese paddy field. MIRACLE RECORD WRITTEN ron did not show when and where they were expected, so the three American not wait. They went to work on the raiders. "It looked like a fleet of rowboats attacking the Spanish Armada," said one witness who was watching from the ground.

Slashing into the huge Japanese formations, the three Americans held on until other American and RAF fighters could join the battle. Quite a number of the Japanese bombers did get through and dumped their loads on Rangoon, but when the show was over at least 31 planes were downed and perhaps more came down in the sea. American fliers were credited with downing 13 bombers and 10 fighters and the RAF got at least eight planes. Allied casualties were described as "astonishingly low." A few days earlier up in Kunming another group of American volunteer pilots tackled 10 Japanese bound for Kunming, brought down four "certains" and two more "probables." The only American loss was a forced landing made by" a pilot who chased the bombers too far and ran out of gasoline on the way home. He bent his propeller and smashed his landing gear when he The A.

V. G. of the Chinese air force is writing an amazing chapter in aerial warfare on a shoestring. The exact numbers and figures cannot be divulged, but expert observers say the work of these boys has been a miracle. They probably can't keep it up forever, since by sheer weight of numbers the Japanese should be able to overwhelm them eventually.

The A. V. G. boys need planes, they need personnel to look after their planes and repair them and they need spare parts. The American pilots came out to defend the Burma road against Japanese attacks and were trained for that purpose.

Now they have had to take on -a large share of the aerial defense of Burma. Their commander, Col. Clare L. Chennault, has whipped the A. V.

G. into a top fighting unit in only a few months. "This isn't target practice," he tells them. "Don't get the idea the Japs are no good. You are a bunch of inexperienced beginners with no actual combat going up against a lot of veteran, clever, skillful pilots in good planes.
