Speech
Closer Relationships
With Latin-America
Urged by Lecturers
Recommendations for closer po-
litical, economic, and cultural re-
lationship between Anglo-America
and Latin America key noted the
two-day conference on Inter-
Ainerican relations held at the col-
lege last week-end. Featuring lee
tures by leading authorities on
Intel- American affairs, the confer-
ence was attended by representa-
tives from colleges uiid high schools
from the entire North Texas urea.
Speaking on "Similarities That
Make for Continental Understand
ing," Dr. Pablo Max Ynsfran of
the University of Texas, speaker
at the opening session, called fur
co-operation "for the sake of the
American continental safety and
for the sake of the two sister cul-
tures," and listed the refusal of
the United States to acknowledge
its position as u world power, the
alleged racial differences, and the
division of Latin America into'in
dependent and sometimes un-
friendly nations as the principal
factors delaying this cooperation.
"For common protection, there is
only one solution- common ac-
tion," he concluded.
"Our geographic proximity is
far closer than our understanding
of each other," declared Dr. Arturo
Torres-Riosecu, professor of Span
ish at the University of California,
in another conference session. A
fusion of the aesthetic qualities of
the Latin American and the prac-
tical qualities of the North Ameri-
can will bring about the ultimate
form of American genius, he added,
stressing that achievement will
come when history-long prejudices
are dispelled.
Talking on the topic, "Von Can
riot Mix Isolation and Friendship,"
the Hon. Harold M. Young of the
consular corps, Dallas, urged the
exchanging of isolation policy for
a new code of trade. The peoples
who have been literally knocked off
their feet by the war, he stated,
should be restored to their feet
with dispatch and not with too
much ballyhoo. "There can be no
stability of peace unless an op-
portunity is given to all," he con-
cluded.
Dr. Risieri Frontlm traced the
development of the Argentine Uni-
versity from the first church school
established in DILI to the found
ing of the last of six Argentinian

Fellowship for Study at Yale
Awarded to Dr. Helen Hewitt
Honor Includes Grant
Of $2,500 for Reserach
On Music Project
Among the most valued honors
in the field of education, one of
the eight Sterling Fellowships of-
fered by Yale University has been
awarded Dr. Helen Hewitt of the
college music department.
Given for research in the hu-
manities and sciences, the $2,600
grants are made to persons who
have already received their Ph.D
degrees and completed a piece of
research.
Dr. Hewitt, who is one of Amvri-
ca's leading musicologists, did ex-
tensive research on three collec-
tions of fifteenth-century music,
printed by Ottaviano dei Petrucci
in the early sixteenth century. The
dissertation for her doctorate was
a modern edition of a volume, the
"Harmonice Munices Odhecaton."
This was the first collection of
part-music ever printed. The re-
sults of her study, a i(J0-pagc vol-
ume, were published in October by
the Mediaeval Academy of America
and received favorable reviews in
leading music journals.
Her research project at Yale will
be the preparation of a modern
edition of the Canti B and C. This
requires transcription into modem
notation, scoring of the voice parts,
the insertion of text* collected from
contemporary manuscripts in Ku

Unitized and smiling, Capt. Har-
ry McClendon returns to Denton
after nearly a year's absence. He's
the second flier to arrive here this
month who haa served with the
U, 8. Army Air Forces in North
Africa, and like his Denton flier-
friend, Capt. Bill Bryant, Capt.
McClendon wears the Air Medal
with three Oak Uaf Clustars that
give a skeleton story of the 30
raid* in which he participated over
enemy territory.
In an interview, the captain
filled in a few details of those past
10 months that he has been in
foreign service as pilot of a B-145,
the famous Mitchell bomber. His
co-workers were for the. moat part
Texans, including another Denton

coperating from malaria contract-
ed en route to the United States.
"i wasn't scared to much at the
Aral, mainly because I was too
green, ( guess," McClendon said,
"hat we had plenty of time to get
scared in later, and it waa aspe
daily bad at the last,"
With British Army
Attached to the bomb group that
gave what is known a« Army cl«se
support to various units with
which it was connected, "Mac," as
he was called, can give first-hand
experience* in battle- in the North
African campaign that made
newspaper headline Fir* with
the British Kighth Army, he with
Other (liars aided ia the Kl Ala
main drive, gave rear support at1
til Aghelia and was on hand for
the capture of Tripoli.
.switching then to aid the Amer-
ican Armies, he was in the drive
through (iafsa, arid returned to
the British, this time to enter Tu
nix with the First Army and drop
a few bombs on Cap Bon.
"Our principal job was to soften
up the enemy's strong points,
mainly tank and troop concentra-
tions, for the Allied ground
troops," he related. "We usually
were on daylight missions, but I
did go on seven night missions "
One of the night raids was har-1
bt.r hoaibtng at Tobruk. "But that
was a little discouraging," ha con
tinued. "Tobruk was extremely
well-defended."
Pattern Bombing
Daylight raids, he explained, us-
ually called for pattern bombing,
tiut night missions had individual
targets.
"1 haa just one rule in my
plana," the captain said. "Every-
body had to wear a steel helmet,
and everybody had to wear san
glasses or goggles."
It was a steel helmet which
saved his co-pilot in a raid which
eventually resulted in Ma one in-
jury and the losa of his only plane
in the entire campaign
Orders for the day ware to pat
tern bomb one of the most heav
ily defended enemy airdrema.
German anti-aircraft fire, as al-
ways, was thick and well aimed,
and two burst* evidently had the
name of McClendon's plane on
them; for one on the right shat-
tered glass which lacerated the
co pilot and also cut McClendon's j
right hand He still has the small,
scar. About the same lime, a bui
let whitced squarely Itelwcen the
pilot antl co pilot, and another
burst of flack put the left engine
out of commission.
"Of course, with just one en
gine it was impossible for us to
keep in the formation,' the cap-
tain continued, "and the other
planes had to go on without us. A
MesKerscjhmitt I0W dived on us, but
our gunner shot him down. Some
how we managed to straggle back
to our own lines, and I thought
that by a miracle we were going
to be able to get the plane down
after all. As we were landing,
though, something went haywire
about five feet from the ground,
and we crashed, t got my knee
hurt a little in jumping from the
plane."
Praises Fighter Kacort
He heaped praiaea on the Amer
ican lighter escort which accom-
panied them on bombing miaaions,
and gave thoae planes and their
pilots all the credit for the fact
that only one plane in hia group
was shot down by an enemy plane
