'U'Increases
Room Rentals,
Board Rates
Residence Halls
Will be Affected
Increases in room rentals and
board rates in University Residence
Halls effe.ctive July 1 have been an-
nounced by the Board of Governors
of Residence Halls.
Double and single rooms, which
previously rented at rates of $75 and
$85 for men and $85 and $95 for wO-
men per term, have been set at $85
and $100 per term. Board has been
increased from $1.20 to $1.30 per
day, effective on the same date.
These increases do not violate the
rules and regulations of the Office
of Price Administration, F. C. Shiel
Acting Director and Business Mana-
ger of Residence Halls, pointed out
because the University, as a political
subdivision of the state, is exempt
from such price ceilings.
The rate revisions were a 'financial
necessity' brought about by increased
labor and food costs, he stated. "Re-
grettable as an increase in student
cost always is; there must be a mini-
inum .charge determined by operat-
ing costs, and the University is doing
only what is necessary because of the
increased prices of food and labor
which it has had to face," he ex-
plained.

Doolittle Leaves
European Post,
May Fight Japs
By The Associated Press
LONDON, May 14-Lt. Gen. James
H. Doolittle, who led the war's first
bombing at Tokyo and then directed
the U. S. Eighth Air Force in its
victorious blasting of Germany, turn-
ed over his European command to a
colleague today amid immediate
speculation that he would return to
the Pacific confict.
Weaken Japan From Air
An official announcement from the
U. S. Strategic Airforce in Europe
said only that Doolittle would re-
turn to Washington headquarters of
the U. S. Army Air Forces "for a new
assignment" but in his final press
conference here Friday the famous
speed flier showed his thoughts were
centered on the Japanese.
"So far as Japan is concerned,
our basic strategy will be weaken-
ing the enemy from the air to enable
occupation of the land' by ground
forces," he explained, adding that the
burden of bombing Nippon would be
carried by the B-29 Superforts with
B-17 Fortresses and B-24 Liberators
employed as medium bombers.
Kepner Is Successor
Part of the Eighth Air Force he
headed will go directly to the Pacific
although considerable numbers will
be kept in the European Theater as
part of the Allied Occupational Air
Force and others will return to the
United States for reassignment,
Doolittle was succeeded as Eighth
Airforce Commander by Maj. Gen.
William E. Kepner, one of Amer-
ica's most distinguished aeronautical'
experts.

Campus Coeds To Seek Cont ribuiions
From Students, Faculty, Townspeople
In keeping with a 25 year tradition, Friday has been designated as
Tag Day.
Tag Day is set aside each spring in order to give students and towns-
people the opportunity to contribute to the University fresh air camp.
JNocated on Patterson Lake, 24 miles northwest of Ann Arbor, the camp
gives boys in the 9 to 13 age group a chance for healthier development,
both mentally and physically, away from the crowded city streets. At
the camp they receive the benefits of -

recreation supervised by competent
counsellors particularly interested in
their problems.
The purpose of the camp is three
fold. First, it serves as a vacation
camp giving the boy the opportunity
to develop new skills, make new
friends. Second, it does a service to
the 25 social agencies through whose
channels the boys are referred to the
camp by making reports of a diag-
nostic nature on each camper. Third.
it offers university students who act
as counsellors invaluable experience
in individual and group behavior.
The camp maintains a staff of for
ty counsellors made up of qualified
graduate and undergraduate stu-
dents. These students act as active
counsellors for half of the eight week
season and participate in classroom
work the remainder of the time. For
this work, students may receive

Future Trends
In Education
The adaptation of post-war edu-
cation to include both the classical
and vocational theories1 of training
and to prepare the individual for
successful participation in society
was the topic under discussion it a
forum held last night in the Men'sj
Lounge of the Rackham Building. !
Sponsored by the Educational Com-
mittee of the Graduate Student
Council, the forum was conducted by
Prof. John L. Brumm of the Depart-
ment of Journalism. Speakers wer=.
Dr. Howard Y. McClusky of tho
School of Edupation, Dr. G. G. Brown
of the chemical engineering depat-
ment and Dr. Clarence D. Thorpe of
the English department.
Predicting a greater popular intrr-
est in education as a result of the
war, Dr McClusky discussed the nar-
rowing result cf exclusively technical
speciali:ration. This theme was con-
tinued by Dr. Brown, who pointed
out that the industrialization of Ger-
many with a continued reactionary
view of other types of education had
led to the present world conflict. Dir.
Thorpe argued that education should
deve~rp in the individual a greater
sense of responsibility toward socieiy.

LONDON, May 14.-General Eis-
enhower cracked down sharply on
senior American officers for their
reported friendly treatment of. high
German war prisoners today after
the British press expressed hot indig-
nation at the "sheer impertinence"
of Nazi leaders and German officers.
since Germany's .surrender.
"We have got to watch these Ger-
mans," the London Evening News
warned.. "Unless we are very care-
ful, they are going to get away with
it again."
Eisenhower said:
"My attention has been called to
press r( ports of instances of senior
United States officers treating cap-
tuiect Nazi and high German officials
on a friendly enemy' basis. Any such
incident has been in direct violation
of my express and long standing
orders.-
Drastic Measures
"Drastic measures have been set
in motion to assure termination cof
these errors forthwith.
"Moreover," Eisenhower continued,
"any past instances of this nature
are by no means indicative of the
attitude of this Army; but are results
of faulty judgment of individuals
concerned, who will be personally
accruaiited with expression:s of ,iy
defnite disapproval.
"In the name of this great force
and on my own, I regret these occur-
rences.'
While Eisenhower did not single
out any officer for public censure, ir,
was reralled that when Reichsmar-
shal Hermann Goering surrendered
to the U.S. Seventh Army last week
at Kitzbuehl in Austria he was treat-
ed with considerable deference.

lete Pass, an important 75-foot defile
between 1,500-foot mountains in nor-
thern Luzon, fell to elements of the!
25th and 37th Infantry Divisions
Sunday after a month-long moun-
tain top slugfest, Gen. Douglas Mac-
*Arthur reported today.
On Mindanao island the 24th Divi-
sion fought an intense battle with
stubborn and well-armed Japanese
in a showdown fight near captured
Davao City. Six Banzai charges in
company strength were beaten off
Saturday and Sunday.
Gateway to Valley
Conquest of Balete Pass, gateway
to the extensive Cagayan Valley, rep-
resented a long stride toward the
final cleaning out of the Japanese
on northern Luzon. The pass con-
trols the only road from the south
into the Cagayan Valley, hub of
Japanese strength,
The 32nd Division aided the cap-
ture of Balete Pass, flanking the
enemy on the parallel Villa Verde
Trail. The two columns were within
two miles of a juncture at Santa Fe,
where the trail joins the main road
at the entrance to the valley.
Close in oil Ipo Dam
East of Manila the 43rd Infantry
Division was closing in on the sur-
rounded Japanese garrison at the
Ipo Dam, source of more than one-
third of the capital's water.-
Fighters and bombers dropped 250
tons of explosives in support of the
Luzon ground actions.
On Mindanao, guerrilla forces have
seized the port of Cagayan, capital
of Misamis Oriental Province, and
the entire north coast of the island
now is in American control, Mac-
Arthur announced.

good for the 3,300-mile daylight mis-
sion but the bombardiers turned
loose their deadly cargoes visually at
medium altitude. The general area
hit is just west of the sprawling
Mitsubishi Aircraft Engine Works
which was almost completely wreck-
ed in earlier raids.

NOT 'FRIENDLY ENEMIES'
Lax Treatm'ent of High Nazis
Is Condemned by Eisenhower
By The Associated Press
GUAM, Tuesday, May 15-The
fury of America's aerial assault on
Japan mounted to a new pinnacle of
violence Monday as a record pack of
500 mighty Superfortresses dumped
7,000,000 pounds of fire bombs on
the great industrial city of Nagoya.
(In-contrast with the enemy's
claim of shooting down eight Super-
fortresses, 20th Air Force headquart-
ers at Washington reported that only
"two of our planes were lost to ene-
my action." This was a minute per-
centage of the number engaged in
the attack.)
The devastating attack, directed
against some of Japan's most import-
ant war industries, was officially re-
ported by B-29 headquarters only a
few hours before .Radio Tokyo said
waves of Allied carrier planes were
hammering Nippon's southern air-
dromes for the second day in a row.
5,500 Airmen in Mission
Some of the 5,500 Yank airmen
who took part in the Nagoya Mis-
sion hardest aerial blow ever thrown
against .Japan, said on their return
to Marianas bases they believed the
3,500 tons of fire bombs dropped de-
stroyed the sections of the city not
devastated in previous raids.- They
agreed that Japanese interceptors
were not anxious to challenge and
that ack-ack fire was weak and in-
accurate.
