Paul Olum '40, of Binghamton, N. Y., and Eliot House was elected to the coveted post of First Marshal of the Phi Beta Kappa Society last night, as the Junior Eight met in the Lowell House tutors' common room to vote on the Society's executive personnel and to determine the 16 men from the Senior class to be taken in at this election...

One mutiny was said to have occurred among three squadrons of Field Marshal Göring's pet "Swallows of Death" wing stationed at Magdeburg, who were ordered to intercept Britain's leaflet raiders. Another mutiny was located in the reconnaissance groups at Kaiserslautern, where seven squadrons balked. They, apparently, did not relish the receptions the French in their Curtisses had been...
