Dominion troops are rated among the hardest-striking in the Allied armies and military observers expressed the belief they would be concentrated in the Mediterranean sector in an effort to knock out Italy High Canadian officers were understood for a time to have opposed moving their men to the Mediterranean from the British home front on the grounds the war would be won or lost when Germany attempted an invasion of England or when Britain aimed an offensive at the heart of Germany These views now have been altered it was reported Boyer Gorski Meyer Chosen Supervisors Democrats Pick

the committee recommendation invariably has been adhered to in the past in making the appointment The committeemen met in Hotel Buffalo County Chairman Paul Fitzpatrick told them that their choices as far as the organization is concerned "would be final All that I ask Is that you select men who will do the The vacancies were caused by the election of Supervisor Frank Caffery of the Second Wan

standard college subjects achieving better grades than similar graduates of conventional schools according to Mrs Austin Kimball vice president of the Park School Parent Teachers Association who cites results of an eight-year study made by the Progressive Education Association as evidence of the accuracy of that conclusion The findings will be discussed at a meeting of the board of the Parent-Teachers group this evening in Mrs home 11 Arlington pL Mrs Kimball said the report has just been released by a group of 20 educators who made the study under a $500000 grant from the Carnegie Foundation in New York Better-Rounded Socially Under a plan set up by a special Progressive Education Association commission the colleges admitted without examination the graduates of 30 selected progressive schools each of which was paired for purposes of comparison with a grad-ute of a first-rate conventional school of the same sex race age Intelligence interests and 'family background As a result of this exhaustive study it was determined that: The progressives had slightly better grades in standard college subjects The more extremely progressive the high school the better its graduates did in college Progressive students went in for more extra-curricular activities (except athletics) took a more active interest in politics art speaking writing music reading went to more dances and were in general more well rounded socially Conventional students joined more social religious and service clubs and attended more movies New Requirements Urged These findings on a national scale Mrs Kimball points out are duplicates of the facts unearthed by the Park School itself in a survey conducted by it of its graduates in their 13 scattered colleges last June At that time 59 per cent of Park-educated collegians had June examination marks of or better and 89 per cent rated or more As a result of its own discoveries the Progressive Education Commission immediately suggested a simpler plan of college entrance requirements embodying: 1 Recommendation of a student by his high-school principal 2 A scholastic-aptitude test 3 A comprehensive English examination In this connection Mrs Kimball emphasizes it is interesting to note that Yale University a notable dissenter to the plan has recently awarded a second scholarship of $500 to Newton Thurber of Buffalo Cited for Character He entered Yale on a freshman tuition scholarship this Fall and is a progressively educated Park School product At Yale Mr Thurber has been cited for "scholastic achievement and character" and while at

Upson farmer Sjpringvllle Police Chief Says He Realized Danger of Hitler at Time of Putsch in 1923 If Dr Baerensprung a police official exiled from Germany had had his way 10 and 15 years ago the history of the world as it has been written by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler would have been changed completely Dr Baerensprung battled with Fuehrer Hitler every Inch of the German read to power The feud began with the famous Munich "beer In 1923 That demonstration branded Herr Hitler in the mind of Dr Baeren? sprung as being a most dangerous person As chief of police of the Province of Saxony Dr Baerensprung prohibited Herr Hitler from speaking in any part of the province 1 "I told the ministers over me that if they should force me to permit Hitler to speak I would Dr Baerensprung said today in the home of Chauncey Hamlin where he is staying during a two-day speaking engagement in Buffalo never forced Sought Expulsion That was only one incident which Fuehrer Hitler probably never forgot or forgave When the future Fuehrer was released from prison after serving one of five years for the uprising Dr Baerensprung once again crossed Herr path And the sight of this massive energetic man must have checked Herr Hitler as much as anything was able to in those days Dr Baerensprung Insisted that Herr Hitler be expelled from Germany because of a German law stating that any foreigner who has served a prison term must leave the country when he leaves jail "That man must be Dr Baerensprung told Influential German ministers but through some I measure of appeasement apparently existing in Germany at the time Herr Hitler was permitted by government heads to remain! Stayed Despite Objections He stayed over the constant objections of the Saxony police chief however and that was what Herr Hitler never forgot When Dr Baerensprung arrived at the concentration camp to which Fuehrer Hitler had sent hixrC he found it guarded by policemen who used to be under him One of them said to him: try to escape now or you might spoil everything Just take your time and get you Five days later on a dark night a guard came for him and led him out of the camp to freedom Dr Baerensprung has been spending his years of exile in China where he instructs police executives He believes Japan will lose her war with China a war which Japan does not relish according to Dr Baerensprung Admires I He also believes Great Britain will triumph over Germany in 1942 when she will have air superiority Dr Baerensprung has great admiration for the Federal Bureau of Investigation but believes local forces could be improved greatly if high officials such as commissioners deputy commissioners Inspectors and some detectives were transferred frequently from one city to another This procedure he believes would reduce corruption because the officials would not have time to develop sources of corruption The visitor who is an adviser to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek spoke today at a luncheon in Trinity Church at a tea in State Teachers College and this evening will
