Civilian Butter Supply Cut;
East To Be Hardest Hit
HISTORICAL .RECORD:
Faculty Members To Receive
War Service Questionnaires
early in the war when heavy military
buying depleted supplies.
This prospect was indicated by an
Agriculture Department announce-
ment today that 30,000,000 pounds
less have been allotted civilians for
the January-March period than was
allocated them for the October-De-
cember period. The allotment for the
current quarter is 369,000,000 pounds.
Rationing End Complicates Situation
Shortages are expected to be most
noticeable in the East, the West and
in other areas distant from major
producing areas of the Midwest. Com-
plicating the situation is the absence
of rationing, which was used during
the war to spread supplies.
The supply picture is expected to
become brighter in the April-June
quarter. During winter months milk
production drops off sharply, but it
increases in the spring. The depart-
Sment has tentatively allocated civil-
iansaboutt470,000,000 pounds for the
April-June quarter.
Despite a record milk production
year, the output of butter in recent
months has been only at about pre-
war average. Failure of butter pro-
duction to keep pace with that of
milk reflects the diversion of a larger
than normal portion of butter fat
f into other dairy products, including
cream sold to civilians.
Military Service Allotment
In addition to the civilian allo-
cation, the U. S. military services
were alloted about 2,000,000 pounds
and commercial exporters 2,900,000
pounds fir the qurrent ogin VB--
pounds for the current quarter.
Civilians were alloted 219,000,000
pounds of cheese, an increase of about
16,000,000 pounds over the past quar-
ter. For export, the allocation is 31,-
600,000 pounds.
The civilian allocation of canned
milk totals 475,000,000 pounds or
t about 40,000,000 less than for the Oc-
tober-December period. The depart-
ment said, however, that supplies are
expected to be ample since trade
channels are reported to be well
stocked. The export allotment was
683,400,000 pounds.
Civilians were allotted 95,000,000
pounds of dried milk, or about the
same as in the past quarter.

RECONVERSION ROUNDUP:
Veterans Hold Spotlight i lans
In order to complete the record of
the University's war services, infor-
mation concerning their individual
roles during the war is-now being re-
quested from faculty members.
Every faculty member will receive1
one of the questionnaires, which are,
being distributed this week by F.
Clever Bald, University War Histori-
an. Each one is requested to note his
participation in such war activities
as membership in the armed forces,
consultation service for government
and war industries, teaching of war
courses, and civilian defense, both on
leave and on campus.
War History Begun
Mr. Bald has already begun his War
History, using the records, correspon-
dence and newspapers of the various
war-time groups on campus.
Because all except two of .these
groups, the Judge Advocate General
School and the Reserve Officers Naval
Architecture Group, have closed, his
records in this respect are almost
complete. One group alone, the Engi-
neeriii, Science and Management
War Training Program, has contrib-
uted enough material to fill four filing
cabinets, eleven loose-leaf notebooks
and three cardboard files.
Engineering Research Still Secret
Only the records of the Engineering
Research Department still remain in
government-imposed secrecy, and it
is expected that Prof. Albert E. White,

Accent is on veterans at the Uni-
versity whether you look backward
or forward at the beginning of this
new year.1
The months that followed V-J Day
brought the University the largest
enrollment of veterans in the nation
-and many new problems, chief
among them housing and educational
facilities to accommodate the increas
ed student body.
In order to meet the needs of ap-
proximately 2,100 veterans now on
campus and another 2,000 antici-
pated for the Spring term, the
Board .of Regents has prepared a
$15,30-0,000 program to rehabilitate
and improve educational facilities
here during the next five years.
An emergency request for $6,550,000
of this sum already has gone to Gov-
ernor Harry Kelly for presentation to
a special session of the Legislature.
The remainder of the program prob-
ably will be put before the next regu-
lar session in January, 1947.
Four buildings are included in the
$6,550,000 program. A building for
the School of Business Administra-
tion, additions to both the East Engi-
neering and Chemistry buildings, and
a maternity hospital are scheduled to
be built by the fall of 1947.
Completion of the buildings by
that time will permit the University
to be ready for the increased num-
ber of juniors and seniors resulting
from the present influx of veter-
ans, the Regents said.
Further additions, not given such
high priority by the Regents, will be

the remainder of the program.
Permanent housing measures Also
are taking shape in the University's
plans for 1946. Construction work has
begun on apartment buildings to
house 176 married students.
Additions to the dormitories to pro-
vide space for 500 more men students
and an equal number of women stu-
dents will be expedited. The apart-
ments and dormitories will be self-
liquidating projects.
In the past year, special housing,'
in the form of portable units at Vet
Village, were provided 78 married
veterans, and special bus service
brought other veterans to and from
Willow Village. .

veterans and acts as a liaison agency
between the vet and the government.
End of the war permitted disclosure
of some important war research proj-
ects, to which University faculty
members contributed. Development
of the radio proximity fuse, work in
preparing recommendations for the
best tactical use of the fuse, use of
the cyclotron in atomic research, re-
search in developing vacuum tubes
and transmitters to jam enemy radar,
and a vaccine for influenza were some
of these projects.
Reorganization of the University
administrative setup also took place
during 1945. A full-time provost,
James P. Adams, and two vice-pres-
idents, Marvin L. Niehuss and Rob-
ert P. Briggs, were appointed to
assist President A. G. Ruthven in
operating the University.
The year also marked the last of
the three-term schedules under which
the University operated during the
war to provide year-around education.

MacArthur To
Japs: Clean Up
Government
TOKYO, Friday, Jan. 4-(P)-Gen-
eral MacArthur today ordered the
Japanese government to clean its po-
litical house and to purge from public
office and government service those
persons, whether small fry or mem-
bers of parliament, who led Japan
into the war.
In two far-reaching directives,
which pickupwhere the war crim-
inal lists leave off, he ordered the
imperial government to abolish all
ultranationalist, terrorist and mili-
tary groups or societies and to remove
from public office and influence those
persons "who deceived and misled
the people of Japan into embarking
on world conquest."
The first directive sought to free
Japan's new, struggling political part-
ies as well as the government itself
from the influence of "military and
feudal elements and release govern-
ment officials from fear of attack by
secret and terrorist societies."
Thirty-seven societies, most of
them influential politically, were or-
dered abolished.
The directive also prohibited for-
mation of any political party, asso-
ciation or society which might seek :
to resist or oppose occupation forces;
to support or justify aggressive Jap-
anese military action abroad; to ex-
clude foreign persons in Japan from
trade or commerce; to promote mili-
tary or quasi-military training or ad-
vocate assassination or other ter-
roristic programs.
SOIC Group To Meet
The SOIC correspondence commit-
tee will meet at 4:15 p.m. today in

ested persons are urged to attend.
director of the research, will write a
report for Mr. Bald.
The contributions of groups which
continue to function during peace are
also being reported. Such organiza-
tions as the ROTC trained as many as
4,063 servicemen in one year.
English Peace
Offer Revealed
In Nazi Record
By The Associated Press
-NUERNBERG, Jan. 3 - Adolph
Hitler's secret papers contain the as-
sertion that "important English cir-
cles" convened a peace feeler to a
representative of Rudolf Hess a
month before Hess flew to England in
May, 1941 in his vain attempt to end
the German-British war, it was dis-
closed tonight.
Dr. Albrecht Haushofer, Hess's in-
timate adviser, sat d-own at Obersalz-
berg May 25, 1941, within 48 hours
after his friend's departure, and
wrote Hitler a full account of his
own role in the peace overtures, in
which he said he used a prominent
Swiss official of the International
Red Cross as an intermediary.
This 1,400-word confidential re-
port, now in the possession of Allied
and neutral intelligence, listed more
than a dozen names of Britons,
mostly titled, with whom Haushofer
believed a rapprochment possible.
The report attributed to a "moder-
ate group in England" a readiness in
April, 1941, to talk peace of a three-
point basis-recognition of Britain's
paramount interest in Greece but
only nominal interests elsewhere in
eastern and southeastern Europe;
restoration of occupied western Euro-
pean states, and confinement of Ger-
man colonial demands to former
Germany territory, along with modi-
fication of Italian demands.
War Crimes
Told at Trial
NUFRNBERG, Jan. 3 -(P)- The
Nazi leadership conceived and execut-
ed a pogrom which bathed eastern,
central and southern Europe in blood
and claimed up to 5,000,000 victims,
two former officers of the dread S.S.
and Security Police testified before
the International Military Tribunal
today.
The grim testimony was given by
S.S. Maj. Dieter Wisliceny and by
slight, 38-year old Maj. Gen. Otto
Ohlendorf, trusted aide of Heinrich
Himmler and a member of the S.S.
since his youth.
Under questioning by U. S. Assist-
ant Prosecutor John Harlan Amen,.
Wisliceny testified the Nazilust for
blood became so great that the Ger-
mans even tricked their puppet neigh-,
bor Slovakia into sending thousands
of Jews into Poland with the promise
of good treatment.
