Pledges from 100 per cent of the student body for War Bonds and Stamps is the object of the intensive one-week drive opening today, the first all-out effort to bring the College into step with the rest of the country in financing the war. Sponsored by the War Service Committee, the drive will reach every undergraduate and resident instructor in the seven Houses and Dudley...
...limitations on all-out invasion do not eliminate an Allied gamble for Norway. By risking the aircraft carriers now available to them in the Atlantic, Britain and the U.S. might cover initial landings, the seizure of a few airdromes, the quick delivery of enough land-based fighters to hold the air over northern Norway while troops tried to secure a real hold.

The small but vocal Communist Party, which hitherto has stuck by the Churchill all-out war policy, scattered second-front leaflets and chalked up signs all over London. A workers' band in black & red uniforms perched on the top of the Square's air-raid shelter and played the International and God Save the King. Ten munitions workers, claiming to represent...
