Tag Day Sale
Coeds To Canvass
City for $1,800 Goal
The twenty-fifth annual Tag Day
campaign will take place tomorrow
with coeds from 28 houses selling
tags throughout Ann Arbor from 7:45
a. m. until 4 p. m.
Revenue For Camp
According to Prof. F. N. Menefee of
the School of Engineering, the funds
collected on Tag Day are the prin-
cipal source of revenue for the Uni-
versity Fresh Air Camp of which he
is director. Students and towns-
people are thus given a chance to
provide a boy with healthful sur-
roundings where he will be under the
guidance of competent counsellors
who can aid him in coping with his
particular problem, he pointed out.
The goal of this year's drive has been
set at $1,800.
University students also benefit
from the drive in that by working as
counsellors at the camp they may re-

Strict Control of Nazis Is Specifled

Doenitz Called
Stop-Gap, Not
A 'Government'
Nazis To Administer
Germany for Allies
By The Associated Press
PARIS, May 16-A program of
sweat and discipline under which
Germany will have to earn her way
back into the community of nations
under strict military control was laid
down by the Allies today.
The so-called German government
of Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz was
declared officially to be only a tem-
porary stop-gap, "fully controlled" by
the Allies while it fulfills a useful
purpose.
Temporarily Used
A supreme headquarters statement
said Doenitz "and certain other
selected German officers" were being
used only temporarily as an instru-
ment for facilitating the surrender
and disarmament of German forces
and were acting under complete Al-
lied control.
The formal statement made clear
that there was no thought of rec-
ognizing Doenitz and his "Flensburg
group" as a German government. So
far as the Allies are concerned, Count
Ludwig Schwerin von Krosigk "does
not exist" as Doenitz' foreign mini-.
ster.
Military Government
This was underscored by Lt. Gen.
Lucius D. Clay, Gen. Eisenhower's
deputy for the occupation of Ger-
many. "The Allied government of
Germany is going to be military, and
the Germans are going to know it is
military," declared Clay.
In London Prime Minister Chur-
chill told Commons that it was the
Allied aim that "the Germans should
administer their country in obedi-
ence to Allied directions." The Brit-
ish leader added that "we have no in-
tention of undertaking the burden of
administering Germany ourselves."
It was not immediately clear how
these statements fitted into the pat-
tern of the yet to be determined fu-
ture of Germany, but Clay declared
that all that is left of Germany's
potential to make war would be
smashed.
Plan Housing
For Negroes
Temporary Units Will
Be Built near Detroit
WASHINGTON, May 16.-(/)-The
National Housing Agency declared
tcday that 1,410 temporary housing
units to be built near Detroit are
designed to help ease an "'extremely
critical" situation among Negro war
workers.
The Ford Motor Company yester-
day assailed the $3,500,000 project as
a "high-handed attempt" to put
through at taxpayers' expense a
building program "which is not need-
ed in the war effort and has no con-
nection with it."
The motor company questioned the
logic of a government housing proj-
ect in the area of the Willow Run
Bomber Plant, which it said will
close by August, and the River Rouge
factory, where it said lay-offs are
being made daily. Ford-owned land
was taken over by the government
for the project.
The NHA, asserting in a statement
that the housing program is "not
dependent on the operations of the
Willow Run bomber plant," said:
"As a matter of fact, many of the

housing units now serving that plant
will be moved and re-used to supply
accommodations at the new site near
Detroit."

BOND REVUE:
Stars of Show
Spent Three

1943, two members of the U.S.S.
Helena band, featured in the free
Navy War Bond Revue coming at
8:30 p.m. EWT Tuesday to Hill Audi-
torium, drifted for three days on a
life raft before being rescued at Vella
LaVella in the Solomon Islands.
Approximately all the members of
the band were in the Navy before the
outbreak of the war, and since then
they have participated in 13 engage-
ments in the Southwest Pacific be-
fore the sinking of the Helena.
Now stationed at Great Lakes Nav-
al Training Station, the band made
a previous tour during the Fifth War
Loan Campaign last summer when
they covered seven Midwestern states.
During the current drive they will
travel 10,000 miles through Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Ken-
tucky.

Security Group
Will Enforce
World Peace
Trusteeship Issue Is
Debated at Conference
By The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-A
United Nations Conference commit-
tee voted today to stand pat on a
big-power plan for enforcing Oeace
through a compact Security Council
of eleven member nations.
As the conference entered its
fourth week, big and little countries
were in substantial accord on most
points, and the American delegation
decided it was time to press for a
speedy wind-up of the job of draft-
ing a world charter.
Some progress was achieved on
the biggest issue still before the
conference - trusteeships - al-
though whatever is decided about
establishing guardianships for de-
pendent or strategic areas of the
world may turn out to be some-
what meaningless in individual
cases.
The reason is that under present
plans a country having a mandate
left over from the last war, or one
assigned a mandate at the peace
table after this world conflict, woue
have the right to say whether the
area should be brought under super-
vision of a new league.
Nevertheless, a conference com-
mittee accepted, as something or
which it could go to work, an Ameri-
can-drafted combination of all thE
trusteeship ideas of the Big Five-
France, Britain, China, Russia and
the United States.
Any country, including the Big
Five, can propose changes in it.
The trusteeship system would be
pegged to four fundamental points:
1. Maintenance of international
security: 2. Maintenance of the
security of the administering coun-
try: 3. Social, economic and poli-
tical advancement of the native
populations: 4. Safeguarding of
the area's natural resources.
As a result of action in anothei
committee, the composition of the
Security Council will be what the four
countries sponsoring the conference
have recommended - subject, of
course, to later approval by the en-
tire conference.
UJA Campaign
Closes Friday
Drive To Raise $2,500
For Relief Agencies
The United Jewish Appeal cam-
paign to collect $2,500 from student
will end tomorrow.
The national goal of this drive i
$80,000,000, and these funds will b
used by various agencies to aid Jewv
thro ighout the world who have beer
uprooted from their homes, and wh
now are in need of food, clothin,
and medical care.
Officials Bribed
Before the fall of Germany, helr
brought to Jews in occupied coun-
tries was given in a clandestine man-
ner-the bribing of officials, and thc
sneaking of the refugees across bor-
ders.
This is the first year that relief
organizations will actually be able t
get in and function for all the strick.
en people. The sanction and request
of the various European countries
concerned has been received.
Organizations
Organizations which will distribute
the funds are the American Jewish
Congress; B'nai B'rith Wider Scope,
Joint Defense Appeal (B'nai B'rith
Anti-Defamation League and Ameri-

can Jewish Committee).
The collection among students has
been undertaken by solicitors who
have divided the work into eight
major divisions. Beryle Walters, stu-
dent director in charge of the cam-
paign, has urged that those persons
who have not yet contributed and
wish to do so should contact the
solicitor in charge of his group.
