PAGF TWO THE HELENA INDEPENDENT, SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 1943 Dr. W. Phelps, Noted Professor Of Yale, Is Dead Writer and Lecturer Called University Ambassador at Large New Haven, AUK. William Lyon Phelps, 78, professor-emeritus of English nt Yale university, author, lecturer and man of letters, died early today at his home after a long illness. In ill health since 21 when he suffered a stroke, Pliolps had appeared to be on the road to recovery but early in the week suffered a relapse which yesterday caused physicians to despair of hope for his recovery.

Known as Yale's unofficial "ambassador at recognized as perennial "most popular" member of the faculty, Phelps retired in 1933 at the age of 68, but to him it Was a new beginning. "I go out to become a private scholar and a public orator," he said. Born in New Haven, Jan. 2, 1865, Phelps entered Yale in 1SS3, was editor of the Yale literary magazine in his junior year am: Was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in his senior year. He joined the Yale faculty in 1SD2, after having taught one year at Harvard.

At the outset of his Yale career he was assailed as an "academic radical" because he inaugurated a course on the modern novel, but he stood by liis guns and soon saw the course adopted at virtually every American college. Active as a writer and lecturer until the time of his fatal illness, Phelps had won a nation-wide audience during the years he was at Yale and held it in the 10 years of his retirement.

Some tests have indicated that one and one-half ounces of yeast are equivalent to two eggs in protein content, and that half an ounce can supply the daily B-complex requirements of the normal diet. Experts of the food distribution administration say it offers a means of fortifying wartime diets and may prove as a substitute for meat protein in areas of liberated countries where livestock production may have suffered due to the war. Shipments so far have been limited because the annual production of foort-yaast Is now about 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 pounds.

Dane Government Urges People To End Sabotage Resistance to Nazi Rule Is Seen in Appeal by Leaders Washington, Aug -The combined chiefs of staff have given filial approval to a United States merchant ship construction program calling for more than 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 deadweight of shipping in 1944.

Although no public announcement was made, informed officials said tonighf'the chiefs of staff put the seal of approval on the maritime commission's new program last week. How much higher than 20,000,000 tons the 1944 prograjn was- set has not been disclosed. The i food and coal supplies, program for this year Was 590,000 tons, although indications are this will be exceeded considerably. Based on present average tonnages, next year's scheduled would produce around 2,000 vessels. As disclosed by the commission, the long-disputed 1944 schedule calls for delivery of 319 of the speedy, new-type "victory" cargo ships and about 200 of the superior fast merchantmen of the C-type.

Most of the other vessels will be the familiar mass-built Liberty ships. Much of the credit for making available the powerfully geared turbines needed to propel the new victory ships, which will run 15 knots or faster compared with 11 knots of the slow moving Liberties, was accorded by officials to a quietly functioning U. Canadian committee set up by the combined chiefs of a The first task of the committee, charged with standardizing designs and speeding production, was finding gears and turbines for victory ships at a time when the entire capacity output of manufacturers was going into naval vessels and C-ships. The committee brought producers, shipbuilders and government officials together and managed to reduce the 27 types of turbines being manufactured to nine. Types of gears were reduced from 77 to 17.
