The prison chaplain and assistant security officer both expressed the opinion that the wily, No. 2 Nazi had carried on his person, ever since his capture a year and a half ago, the deadly potassium cyanide which he gulped less than two hours before he was to march to the gallows. How he had managed to do this remained unanswered. The plump defendant had been searched at least 100 times during his months in captivity. Col. B. C. Andrus, U. S. Army Com- mandant of the Prison said tonight in an interview it was possible that a German attorney "slipped" Goering the poison during the trial. He said, however, he had no connection with the investigation of Goering's death and that the theory was merely a "possibility" which would be probed by a commission of three Army offi- cers. Attorneys had close contact with the prisoners during the trial and often handed sheafs of documents back and forth. The guards were ordered to scrutinize every scrap of paper before passing is to a de- fendant. Mystery also shrouded the burial of Goering and of the 10 top-ranking Nazis who died on twin gallows short- ly after midnight on this cold gray morning. Capt. Samuel Binder of the se- curity police detail said the final resting place of the 11 would re- main a secret. The news of Goering's grim, Joke-that he had been able to outwit scores of United States troops whose job was to see that he keep his date with the hang- man-spread with lightning speed throughout Germany. Although many Germans cursed with deep hatred the once arrogant Luftwaffe head, there were others who were delighted that he had managed to escape the verdict of the International Military Tribunal com- posed of august jurists of Russia, Great Britain, the United States and France. * * * A secret three man investigat- ing the Allied Control Council, ap- parently ran up against a blank wall in its atempt to solve the question of how the shrunken fat man had managed to swallow the lethal dose. S* * * Swan Favors Broad Attack 'on D iscrimination A broad attack on all manifesta- tions of overt discrimination is the most effective method. of eliminating racial prejudice. That is the opinion of Edward Swan, executive secretary of the De- troit chapter of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, who addressed the Inter-Racial Association yesterday in the Union. "Experience has proven," Mr. Swan declared, "that a successful drive against discrimination on the civil rights and job front usually cul- minates in greater inter-racial un- ity." Every campaign to promote racial equality, Swan warned, must be based upon careful *planning and based upon careful planning and constant vigilance or it will fail to achieve a healthier community at- mosphere. Once an offensive is un- dertaken, Swan added, it must be continued without interruption or deviation until the objective is ob- tained. Preceding Swan's address, the IRA unanimously adopted the broad statement of policy which declared : "The Inter-Racial Association of the University of Michigan is against any discriminations which violate the fundamental rights of man and hereby resolves to combat these existing evils wherever they are found."

NIMITZ x * Admiral Nirnitz To® Delivwer Talk To 'U' Students Fleet Admiral Chester White Nim- itz, Navy chief of operations, will speak to University students at 11 a.m., Friday, Oct. 25, on the steps of the General Library. The Admiral, who will be accom- panied by Mrs. Nimitz, will be in town visiting Dr. Esson M. Gale, director of the University's International Center.1 Admiral Nimitz first visited the campus in 1940, when as Chief of the Bureau of Naval Personnel he at- tended the commissioning of the NROTC unit. In case of inclement weather, the Admiral's brief speech will be given in Hill Auditorium. AVC To Study Y Crost of Living Of 'U' Veterans The campus AVC will find out this week if University veterans are run-1 ning in the red under the GI Bill sub- sistenceallowance. One thousand annonymous ques- tionnaires will be distributed to cam-7 pus veterans by the American Veter- ans Committee to get the facts on the] cost-of-living. The survey is intended to determine if the original intent of the GI Bill is1 being defeated by rising living costs, according to AVC chairman, Lorne Cook. A random sampling of information on veterans income and expenditures will be obtained beginning this morn- ing at a table set up on the diagonal. Adequate representation of all groups will be assured, Cook said, by sending questioners through various living quarters. If the survey reveals that student- veterans are on the whole actually digging into savings or financing their college careers by loans, the campus AVC expects to come out strongly in favo of increased sub- sistence allowances. Willow Village veterans will be polled by the Willow Run chapter of AVC. The questionnaire asks veterans for an estimate on monthly incomes and expenditures and asks how they make up the difference if their budget ex- ceeds subsistence allowances. * *-* Subsidly Plans Gven by Wope Plans of the Michigan Council of the American Veterans Committee to ask the State Legislature to provide an additional subsidy for student vet- erans, if it is found that the present federal subsidy, is insufficient, were outlined by Bob Wolpe, chairman of the state council, at the campus AVC meeting yesterday. In conjunction with the cost of liv- ing survey which begins on campus today, Wolpe said that the Michigan council will use the results of the lo- cal chapter's survey in formulating this proposed request to the State Legislature. Dr. Stump of the Ann Arbor Inde- Butter Kept Free from Restrictions Hope for Lower Dairy Prices Held By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-OPA took all price restraints off vegetable fats and oils tonight, and the Price De- control Board decided to keep butter and other dairy products equally free of control. These two decisions, following close on the freeing of meat from price control, were disclosed as another form of wartime restrictions, govern- ment curbs on wages, appeared head- ed for a quick death. Political Debate They coincided, too, with increas- ing political debate as to who is to blame for food shortages and rising prices. Elections in which these is- sues are already a big factor will be held November 5. In its fats and oils order, which is effective tomorrow, OPA said that de- control of such meat items as lard made it imperative to grant the same to competing vegetable oils. House- wives will notice the effects chiefly on oleomargarine, shortening, mayon- naise, salad dressings and cooking gas. Butter and Cheese The Price Decontrol Board an- nounced that butter and cheese prices "have now risen to an unreasonable level," but added that under the ac- celerated decontrol program of Presi- dent Truman, it had no choice but to leave dairy products control-free. "Recontrol of all or any part of the dairy industry would be incon- sistant with the accelerated decon- trol program announced by the Presi- dent on October 14 when he directed that controls be lifted from livestock and meat," the board said. Lower Prices It held out some hope of lower prices on dairy products, saying: "It is expected that with the rising production of milk and the resump- tion of livestock slaughter, the pres- sure on prices of dairy products will be materially relieved." The political arguments about the food situation brought one Repub- lican challenge of President Truman's truthfullness. * * * Board Awaits Wage Policy Clarification of Status Sought by Members WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 -- () - Members of the Wage Stabilization Board offered their views to the White House today on the accelerated scrapping of wage controls advocated by President Truman. Because the status of the Board it- self is at stake, Chairman W. Willard Wirtz and Vice-chairman Phillips L. Garman, the public members, pro- posed an immediate decision on whether the agency should be con- tinued or wiped out forthwith. After a conference with Reconver- sion Director John R. Steelman and Economic Adviser John C. Collet, Wirtz told reporters: "We found them completely in accord with our view that any present uncertainties with respect to the Board's position should be clarified as soon as possible." Students planning to run for mem- bership on the Board in Control of Student Publications must meet with the nominating committee of the Stu- dent Affairs Committee at 4 p.m. to- day in the Senior Editorial Offices of The Daily. Candidates for the three positions on the Board must present written pledges that they will "stand for elec- tion in good faith and that if elected will assume the duties of the office" when they appear before the com- mittee. Must Present Eligibility Cards In addition candidates must pre- sent eligibility cards and plan to at- Vets Can Enroll n V-6 Program Today in U.nion Naval Reserve Corps Will Include Waves A U. S. Naval Traveling Recruiting unit will be open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. today in the Union lobby to en- roll veterans in the new V-6 (inac- tive duty) program. Men veterans of any branch of service and former Waves are eligible for the V-6 program. The Wave vet- erans who enroll will be eligible for the organized reserve any time after their enrollment. If they join the organized reserve they will attend one drill or meeting a week for two hours, receiving for this a full day's pay. Navy Personnel Keep Ratings All former Navy or Coast Guard personnel who enroll in V-6 keep their ratings and are offered an op- portunity to advance as in the regular active duty program. Commenting on the reserve pro- grams, Lt. (jg) J. H. Faber, head of the Michigan traveling recruiting unit,said: "In the event of another war, the Naval Reserve program will mean money in your pocket since you will collect the amount of longevity accumulated while in the Naval Re- serve." This applies to either pro- gram, V-6 or the organized reserve, Lt. Faber said. Veterans who enroll in V-6 remain civilians and cannot be called to ac- tive duty without their own consent, except in the event of a national emergency. Benefits which veterans are receiving under the GI Bill of Rights or any other veteran benefit laws are not affected by enrollment in V-6. Four Year Enrollment Except for Waves, enrollment in V-6 is for a four year period at the end of which the veteran is eligible for the organized reserve. Veterans interested in enrolling in V-6 should visit the booth in the Union, bringing with them their hon- orable discharge certificates. For- mer Navy personnel should also bring Form 553. Former Army personnel must bring certificates 615-360; 615- 363; 615-365.

Vaccine Flown Here for Flu Innoculations The A and B influenza vaccine, to be used in the mass innoculation of 23,000 students, faculty and person- nel during the week of Oct. 28, has arrived by plane from the Influenza Commission in Washington. The vaccine is the same one used by the Army to innoculate 7,000,000 GI's in November, 1945. In large- scale, niationwide tests it was found to be efftive in three out of four cases. Army Innoculated On the Michigan campus, 600 Army men were innoculated on Oct. 16, 1945 by Army authorities as part of the nationwide program. Records kept of the occurence of influenza among those who had been innoculated as compared to 1,100 men in the other service unit who had not been im- munized date from Oct. 28 to Dec. 22, 1945. In that time there were 109 admissions from the unvaccinated The Health Service issued an ap- peal yesterday for registered nurses and nurses' aides to assist in the influenza immunization pro- gram during the week of Oct. 28 from 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 6 p.m. At least twenty registered nurses and nurses' aides will be needed on duty throughout the program.

The A and B vaccine was perfected in work done at the School of Public Health in 1941 under the direction of Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr., sponsored by the Commission of Influenza set up by the Army Surgeon General's Office. Two Major Types The vaccine is made by growing in- fluenza virus in fertile hens' eggs, then killing the virus.

Gov. Arnall, who will be introduced by President Alexander G. Ruthven, has chosen as his lecture topic "'The South Looks Forward." The Southern leader looks forward to a "new era" for Georgia and the entire South and predicts wide industrial expansion in that region. Toward this end he has directed an attack on the railroads in an attempt to break down freight rates "discriminatory" to the South. Among progressive reforms which Gov. Arnall has been instrumental in making in Georgia's government are the removal of education from the Srealm of politics, modernization of the state's notorious penal system, formulation of a new constitution for Georgia, lowering the voting age to 18, repeal of the poll tax and passage of a soldier-vote measure. A native son of Georgia, Arnall at- tended Mercer College in Macon, Ga., and the University of the Southat Sewanee, Tenn., and took his legal training at the University of Geor- gia. Before he won the election for governor in 1942, he practiced as a "county-seat lawyer" in his home town, served in the state legislature from 1933 to 1937, and was elected attorney-general in 1939. Roundup of Many Cities To Have Meat BySaturday Prices Well Over Old OPA Ceilings By The Associated Press CHICAGO, Oct. 16 - Livestock poured into markets across the coun- try in excess of advance estimates to- day, and sources in the packing in- dustry predicted this meat would reach millions of American dinner tables by this weekend. The run of hogs to major mar- kets was three times as heavy as a year ago and cattle receipts were on a par with 1945. Prices were well above the now nullified OPA ceilings and generally higher on cattle and somewhat lower on hogs than yesterday, the first day of uncontrolled market operations. Meat industry sources said fresh beef and pork could reach neighbor- hood butcher shops from two to five days after the animals are sold, de- pending on how far they have to be shipped. Thus, they added, such major live- stock market centers as Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha, St. Paul and Indianap- olis will have a fair supply of pork and some beef available at the retail level by Saturday. Industry sources printed out that while the animals marketed today were sufficient to provide a "fairly good" temporary supply in retail markets throughout the country, buying would be heavy at this level and distribution might be spotty. Continued heavy receipts are needed, they said, to meet the big demand. Most of them believed that supply wouldn't overtake demand for from 60 to 90 days, when short fed beef cattle start coming in from the feed lots.

Approximately 2,000 persons' will be housed in this project, which is being undertaken by the H. C. Allen Co. builders anddevelopers, and the Ann Arbor Trust Co. These single- family homes, in compliance with the law, will be held for veterans for a period of 60 days following com- pletion before they can be offered to anyone else. An estimated 125 workmen will be used to construct the new project, largest single family unit program ever planned in the Ann Arbor area. Earl H. Cress, president of the Ann Arbor Trust Co., offered no sugges- tion as to where the labor is to be obtained. However it was learned that Henry C. Allen, president of the building firm, was out of town yes- terday in search of building mater- ials and labor. Construction will begin upon ar- rival of the parts for the first three dwellings, which are scheduled for shipment early next week from the manufacturers. Foundations for these houses will begin shortly. Doctor Cancels Wallace Tour DETROIT, Oct. 16--(')-Henry A.
