auto Production
LtWains Highest
3ost-War Level
DETROIT, April 19-(IP)-The au-
mobile plants of the United States
id Canada turned out 57,565 pas-
nger cars and trucks this week,
ispite curtailed production by one
ading maker and continued suspen-
on by two smaller manufacturers.
The figures, compiled by Ward's
itomotive report brought vehicle
;semblies above the 50,000 unit level
r the first time since Feb. 10, 1942,
Lien all civilian output was suspend-
1 for the duration of the war.
In announcing the jump over last
eek's 49,425 output, Ward's said con-
nued limitation on steel supplies
id other essential materials was
olding production at approximately
alf the industry's present capacity.
added that continuance of the coal
rike threatened to pare down next
.onth's production.
So far this month the factories
ave rolled out 154,725 units; the ag-
'egate for April may touch the 250,-
0 mark, but, due to the effects of
le coal strike, output next month,
stead of an originally projected
)0,000 units probably will not go
rer 250,000.
But for the one day's curtailment
production by Ford and continued
ispension of assembly operations by
udson and Studebaker, this week's
;semblies would have gone over the
,000 level.
Authoritative industry sources as-
rted tonight that even a quick set-
ement of the coal strike would not
move the potential impact upon au-
mobile output. The plans probably
ill go along at current levels or
ightly higher, until the middle of
.ay. Then a sharp drop is certain,
'en with a resumption of coal ship-
ents to the steel mills, these sources
aid.

liams said. Late Monday the number
of men taken ill increased as the for-'
mer soldiers began eating their ra-
tion.
The number soared until Wednes-
day, when the cause was determined
and the prisoners were told riot toI
eat their remaining bread, Wiliams
said.
Williams said the Army would per-
mit the bakery, now under supervi-
sion, to deliver its weekly ration
against next Monday, pending con-
clusion of an inquiry started by the

Odd Animals
Lead Easter
Line of March
Over and under-sized pandas,
lambs, Dumbos, cats, dogs and dolls
are challenging the position of the
stuffed rabbits which have tradition-
'ally led the Easter parade.
Designed to stir the imaginations
of children on Easter morning,
stuffed menageries have in the past
few years become the campus rage.
Though on continual demand, it is
at Eastertide that they assume out-
landish proportions and sizes.
The manager of a local artificial
pet shop insisted that the large rab-
bits, giraffes and pigtailed dolls, each
selling for more than a week's room
and board, are acquired mainly for
display purposes; but, he admitted,
"we never yet had one left.'
It is hard to picture a child strug-
gling to play with one of those life-
sized giraffes made of some anony-
mous fur or to drag his favorite
bunny to bed with him when the bun-
ny is larger than lie, or above all,
consenting to wash his hands with a
soap-carved duck known as "Sleepy-
eyed Sammy." Nevertheless, many
such animals have been purchased by
indulgent parents.
Michigan women have been suc-
cessful in inducing their dates to ex-I
change more than a little loose
change for one of those creatures
destined to make a zoo out of a dor-
mitory room, according to reports.
Just last week, the same manager
declared, a sailor bought the largest
panda in the shop and NOT for his
younger sister.
circulating this petition in behalf of
the Filipino veterans who fought not
only as Filipino soldiers, but as sol-
diers of the United States Army. It is
especially for the benefit of Filipino
soldiers who fought on Bataan.
Government Officials Endorse Plan
According to the petition, the plan
which is being endorsed by Michi-
gan students has been proposed by
the Secretary of War, the Adminis-
trator of Veterans Affairs and the
United States High Commissioner to
the Philippines. The plan is to re-
dress a new act which, as it stands
now, discriminates against Filipino
veterans, preventing them from en-
joying the benefits which, according
to the petition, should be accorded to
any veteran who fought under the
American flag.
The new plan, endorsed by the
members of the Philippine-Michigan
Club, grants the Philippine Army
personnel inducted into the service
of the United States Army most of
the benefits which American law pro-
vides for its veterans. According to
the petition, this plan would grant to
the Filipino veteran full benefits un-
der the GI bill of rights,; including
"automatic gratuitous insurance
against death in line of duty in ac-
tive service between Oct. 9, 1940, and
April .19, 1942, a period including
the whole period of the First Battle
of the Philippines."
Other Provisions
It also includes "a pension for
non-service-connected disability in-
curred during term of service; medi-
cal and hospital treatment and domi-
ciliary care of veterans suffering
from injuries or diseases incurred or
aggravated in line of duty, including
funeral and burial expenses; voca-
tional rehabilitatiort' for disabled vet-
erans; civil service preference; the
mustering-out payment law; the six-
month death gratuity to dependents
of personnel who died in line of duty
or similar provision under the Miss-
ing Persons Act."
According to the petition, President
Truman has approved H.R. 5158, the
First Supplemental Surplus Appro-
priation Rescission Act, but took ex-
ception to a legislative rider at-
tached to the transfer of a $200,000,-
000 item for the pay of the Army of
the Philippines on the ground that
a more satisfactory plan could be de-
vised.

Summer Jobs
The Forest Service parachute proj-
ect is offering summer employment
in the western national forests to stu-
dents in the School of Forestry and
Conservation and also, because of the
unusual demand, to qualified stu-
dents not in forestry.
Previous experience in parachute
jumping is not required for the posi-
tions, but men with experience in fire
suppression, woods or farm work will
be given preference in the selection
of the 150 smokejumpers. Candidates
will be given a month of intensive
training in jumping methods and
techniques and fire suppression.
The Forest Service has offered to
send a parachute instructor to the
campus to demonstrate smoke jum-
per equipment and to discuss jump-
ing and employment with potential
candidates.
The season of employment is cor-
related with the termination and be-
ginning of the school year. Candi-
dates must report by June 17 at
Missoula, Montana.
Men between the ages of 18 and 30
interested in becoming smokejumpers
may get in touch with Prof. W. F.

Building.

Two Results
The secretary said that the gov-
ernment expected to accomplish two
results with the wheat and corn bon-
us payments-to make more grain
available for food purposes immed-
iately, and to encourage farmers in
the surplus corn producing states to
market more corn and stop feeding
livestock to heavy weights.
The price which the farmer will
receive under the certificate plan will
be that prevailing whenever the far-
mer elects to collect for his wheat,

meeting that need. He said that Brit-
ain had a million tons of breadstuffs
in "pipelines" and stocks-double
pre-war standard-and proposed that
she turn over half of it to feed hun-
gry people.
He recommended that Russia raise
from 75,000 to 300,000 tons a month

world's famine-stricken areas.
He suggested that Latin American
countries import 40 per cent less
