Cut In Sugar Ration Will Give
U.S. Civilians Less Than British

WOMEN'S NEWS:
Engine Ball Planned;
Thu rnament To Start

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April -4-Civilians
in the United States, famous for
their sweet tooth, will find 1945 "the
most difficult of the war" from the
sugar standpoint.
This sour report came today from,
Lt.-Col. R. W. Olmstead of the War
Food Administration, who said the
comparative supply figures are: 7
per cent less than in 1944 and 14
per cent lpss than the 1935-39 aver-
age.
To Get Less Than British
The American estimate figures out
at 83 pounds per civilian, even a
little less than civilians in Great
Britain are due to get.
Olmstead supplied the figures in
testimony before Senators investigat-
ing food shortages.
Other highlights on the contin-
uing big food topic:
(1) The War Food Administration
allotted 323,000,000 pounds of butter
for civilian consumption in the next
three months. This compares with
estimated consumption of 325,000,000
to 328,000,000 in the last three
months.
(2) It said civilians face a 30 perI

ter Civic Orchestra and associate con-
ductor of the Rochester Philharmo-
nic Symphony is director of the

wright Palmer and another Detroit

cent reduction in rice supplies be-
cause of urgent military and foreign
relief needs. This would mean about
4.3 pounds per person in 1945 as com-
pared with about 6 pounds last year.
(3) Olmstead flguri s te deficit of
the world meat supply is about 6,200,-
000,000 pounds, or 15 per cent of es-
timated needs. He said world meat
supply and demand may "strike a
balance" one year after V-E day.
(4) Some American food officials
are urging a heavy fall pig crop-
which would mean less pork now and
more next year through using sows
this year for breeding rather than
slaughter.

A meeting of the Michigan Pho-
tography Club, featuring an address
by Augosto Mwnos of the Romance
language department on "Depth of
Focus", will be held at 5:15 p.m. to-
day in the International Center, new-
ly-elected President Emily Peter an-
nounced yesterday.
Other officers elected recently are

nus, dark room assistant. The club,
formed to exchange photographic in-
formation, will plan outings to be
held during the spring. Open to all
advanced photographers, the organ-

two enlargers, and chemicals for de-
veloping are supplied free.
"Members can obtain information
on any phase of photography, includ-
ing tips on where to get film," the

New Classes
Enter JAGS
The arrival of two classes last
week brings the total enrollment of
the Judge Advocate General School
to 133.
Assigned to the JAG School are the
50 members of the 11th Officer Can-
didate class, now in the middle of a
17-week course, the 53 members of
the 12th Officer Candidate Class and
30 officers enrolled in the 22nd Offic-
er Class.
The officers, four of whom are
lieutenant colonels, will graduate aft-
er seven more weeks of training in
military law.

tinuing the Commodity Credit Cor-
poration a year past June 30. This
continues the CCC's food subsidy op-
erations under WFA and increases
its borrowing power from $3,000,000,-
000 to $4,750,000,000.
JAG SCHOOL:
Aid Plan Is j
Successful
Approximately four million cases
involving soldiers and their depen-
dents have been handled by the
Army legal assistance plan in its two
years of operation, the Judge Advo-
cate General's Office reports.
Tax matters, involving 26 per cent
of the total number of cases handled
by the plan, led the list, with cases
involving power of the attorney fol-
lowing with 24 per cent. Wills were
listed third with 22 per cent, and
miscellaneous matters reached the
same total.
Domestic Difficulties Cleared
The other six per cent were attrib-
uted to domestic relations difficul-
ties. "The low percentage of such
cases," according to Gen. Cramer,
"is somewhat at variance with popu-
lar belief on this subject."
Commenting further on the work
done under the Army legal assistance
plan, Gen. Cramer said, "The impor-
tant thing disclosed by these figures
is that millions of soldiers and their
dependents have been relieved of
worry and uncertainty regarding
their various legal problems. That
this has been of immeasurable bene-
fit to the morale and welfare of those
served cannot be doubted."
Army Aided by Civilians
The legal assistance has been pro-
vided by lawyers serving in the Army
as Legal Assistance Officers with the
aid of some 27,000 volunteer civilian
lawyers.
Because Legal Assistance Officers
are prohibited by Army regulations
from appearing in court, any case
requiring representation in the sol-
dier's home town is handled by his
personal attorney or by the appro-
priate State bar committee or legal
aid organization.
Prof. Leonard
Gives Lecture
Talks on Sarliento,
Argentine Educator
Devoting most of his life to studies
of education, Domingo Saustino Sar-
miento is virtually the founder of the
present Argentine education system,
Prof. Irving Leonard of the Spanish
department, declared last night at
the Union in the seventh and final
lecture of La Sociedad Hispanica.
The school-teacher president of
Argentina in the last century made
his first visit to the United States,
Prof. Leonard said, to observe our
educational practices and to apply
them to Argentine school systems. A
leading educator, writer and states-
man, Sarmiento was, Prof. Leonard
asserted, a good friend of Horace
Mann.
Referring to Sarmiento's first visit
to this country, Prof. Leonard read
several of the former's letters to
friends in Chile in which he wrote on
the customs and habits of Americans
at that time.
