Truman, Convinced Hitler Dead,
Acts To Punish War Criminals
'Potter's Field'
- - As Chief Cone
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Convinc-
ed that Adolf Hitler really is dead,
President Truman acted tonight to
bring to swift justice other leaders
guilty of high crimes against civili-
zation.
(The nightly Soviet communique,
quoting Dr.Hans Fritsche and issued
soon after Stalin's order of the day
announcing the fall of Berlin, said
that Hitler, and Goebbels had com-
mitted suicide.)

Ilannegan Named
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 2-In the
first shift in the old Roosevelt cabi-
net, President Truman today an-
nounced the resignation of Post-
master General Frank C. Walker
and the selection of Robert E. Han-
negan to succeed him.
Hannegan, 41 year old Missourian
who ran Franklin D. Roosevelt's
fourth term campaign, will take
over his new job July 1, if confirmed
by the Senate. He will retain the
Democratic national chairman-
ship.
In a second major appointment
announced at his news conference,
the President said he was naming
David E. Lilienthal for another
nine-year term as chairman of the
Tennessee Valley Authority start-
ing May 18.
that Hitler is no longer alive. He
didn't know how the death occurred,
he said, but was glad that both Der
Fuehrer and Mussolini were out of
the way.
It means, the executive continued,
that the two major war criminals of
Europe do not have to be brought to
trial. But, he asserted, there are
others and they must.
Jackson Named
To that end, he appointed Supreme
Court Justice Robert H. Jackson as
this country's chief counsel for such
prosecution in the European theater.
Jackson already has gathered a stall
together.
The President said Justice Jackson
will function in those cases of major
war criminals whose misdeeds are
not connected with any one specific
locality. Others, who can be connec-
ted with a personal hand in specific
crimes are to be tried by the coun-
tries where the crimes were commit-
ted.
Hopes for Tribunal
Mr. Truman said he hopes an in-
ternational tribunal is set up as soon
as possible for the prosecutions.
He said he did not know whether
Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz, who
proclaimed himself successor to Der
Fuehrer, is on the list. Those who
are, he said, will not find haven in
any neutral country.
Dr. Howland Dies
On 71st Birthday
Dr. William Howland, former head
of the Voice Department of the mu-
sic school, died last Monday of a
heart attack at his home in Birming-
ham on his seventy-first birthday.
Funeral services will be held at 2
p. m. Friday at Christ Church, Cran-
brook. Dr. Howland, who was edu-
cated in New York and Europe, was a
founder of the Detroit Institute of
Musical Arts.

Dean James B. Edmonson of the

two-day meeting of the Executive
Committee of the American Council
on Education today and tomorrow in
Washington.
The committee plans to discuss
educational problems that will be,
considered at the San Francisco Con-
ference, Dean Edmonson said. The
main suggestion is provision for an
international office of education to
gather information and carry on
cooperative studies among all na-
tions. Dean Edmonson said that he
will endorse the plan for we have at
present no adequate means. of ex-
change of educational information.
He is confident that the American
Council on Education will also en-
dorse it.

ation of a report dealing with what
schools and colleges can learn from
teaching methods used by the armed
forces, he said.
get yesterday, as part of a recom-
mended $7,445,369,000 cut in war
program funds already appropriated.
Informd of President Truman's
action, Governor Kelly said that the
Michigan OCD would probably be
continued as a skeleton organization
to summon already trained citizens
in case of some natural disaster.
During the recent session of the
Legislature, a move was made to
eliminate the state appropriation of
$75,000 to maintain the organization,
but it was defeated after debate con-
tending that it could maintain valu-
able functions. The appropriation is
half of that provided for last year,
and far below the peak appropria-
tion.
Capt. Donald S. Leonard, state dir-
ector, skid that for a year the organ-
ization has been undergoing a
streamlining process, retaining only
the most essential services.

EYE-WITNESS REPORT:
German Propagan da Effective
I
An eye-witness report on the belief
of the German people in Nazi propa-
ganda is given by Lt. Eric Zalenski,s
'44, in a letter to T. Hawley Tapping,
general secretary of Alumni Associa-t
tion.C
j t
Lt. Zalenski, former sports editor
of The Daily, is with the Sixth Arm-
ored Division in Germany, and wrote.t
"There is one 14-year-old boy in the
house where my mortar platoon is
billeted. He was in the Hitler Youtht
organization and believes all the fan-l
tastic lies ever dished out by Hitlerl
and his cohorts.
Astounding Newsl
"The murder and torture of m'-
lions of Poles, Russians, and Slavsx
was astounding news to him," hel
continued. "He couldn't believe it.
The Germans invaded Poland be-
cause the Poles had secretly con-
spired to attack Germany. The Ca-
tholics and Jews conspired against
the gove nment and got what they
deserved, he says."
Civilians Killed
"The Germans did not defend this
town we are in because they did not
want to destroy it or hurt the people,
he said, but couldn't understand why
they were shelling it from the hills
beyond and were killing civilians,"
Lt. Zalenski wrote.
"The climax came when my inter-
preter told isum that the men around
him were a Jew, a Pole, a French-
man, a Slav and three Catholics. He
paled and appeared very frightened.
We assured him that no harm woul-l
come to him from us and then he
relaxed a little."
Lt. Zalenski, known as Ed, won a
numeral in track and was a member
of Scabbard and Blade, Sphinx, Mi-
chigamua, and Sigma Delta Chi. Hu
was associate editor of the Michigani
Alumnus.
