U.S. Captives To Leave Japan By Christmas WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-('P)-- Hundreds of American civilians in- terned by Japan may be home for Christmas-if Tokyo will give assur- ances of safety for an exchange ship. Sumner Wells, Acting Secretary of State, announced at his press confer- ence today that safe conduct had been requested for the Swedish liner, Gripsholm, and that the government has "good reason to hope," a second exchange of Japanese for American civilians can be carried out in Por- tuguese India by October 15. Allowing time for the voyage from India to an American port this should bring the internees home for the holidays. Most of them have been in Japanese hands since December 7, 1941. Welles did not say when the list of Americans expected home on the Gripsholm would be made public. Last year the passenger list was not issued until the Americans were safe- ly aboard the exchange ship. Col. Rodney To Be Retired From Active Duty Aug. 31 LANSING, Aug. 20-(P)- Col. Dor- sey R.

Every unit on the post was repre- ented in the hour-long line of march which passed the reviewing stand nd filed later into the field to hear ;he general's address, his first to all troops here since he assumed com- nand. ontract Award 3 Years Ago "Three years ago last Tuesday," he Declared, "a two-million dollar con- ract was awarded for the construc- ion of new buildings at Fort Custer nd the first step in a miracle trans- ormation of an army summer train- ing camp into one of the great full- ime operating forts of World War I had been taken. "Since that day, Fort Custer has grown and functioned in such a way as to leave no doubt of the spirit and purpose of you who have been re- ponsible for its operation. 300,000 Men Inducted at Custer "In this war," he went one, "Fort Custer has sent throtgh its reception center, thus far, nearly 300,000 men; while receiving well-deserved recog- nition for its rehabilitation center, its ank drivers, tank maintenance, automotive, and cooks' and bakers' schools, its MP board dog test section and, of outstanding importance of the whole army structure, its pro- vost marshal general establish- ments."

'THANKS TO ANN ARBOR': Chaplain' s Hor To Feature 33-Piece Army Air Corps Band Two young naval officers "launch" a model ship in the Naval tank in West Engineering Building preparatory to their testing model craft for resista nce, wake, speed, and horsepower. Use of the 300- foot tank is part of their special program in naval architecture. 300 FEET FOR EXPERIMENT: Concrete Naval Tank Is Used For Testing New Ship Designs 0 --- Lying below floor level in the West Engineering Building in a room lined with submarine models of World War I, stretches 300 feet long the concrete naval tank for testing ship models. The tank, one of the few of its size in the country, was built in 1904 for experimental use by marine and naval engineers. During the last few years it has been used exclu- sively in testing ship designs for the Maritime Commission, Army, Navy,I and private naval architects. Car Drops Models; To obtain the desired data, the 22-foot .wide tank is bridged by an electrically-driven car equipped with gauges to indicate resistance, wake, and speed. The towing car serves to drop the models down into the tank which has a 10-foot water depth. To test certain types of craft for shoal water, the tank has a false bottom which can be raised or lowered to simulate river conditions. Since the beginning of World War II, the tank has been used in testing models of small cargo vessels to be used by the Army in the South Pa- cific. The actual woodengmodelsav- eraging 10 feet in length are built from official government blueprints and painted in the adjoining shop. Experiments on the cargo craft are to establish speed and power of the full-sized ships and to design the most efficient propellers for their specific use. One of the large projects under- taken by the tank and shop to date has been designing hulls for floating Lt. Brooks of JAG Receives Promotion First Lt. Wright W.

The Caravan will be at South Ferry Field Monday. "Just because those meals are being cooked while we're on thet go doesn't mean they're nothings but snacks," a mess sergeant ex-( plained recently. "For instance,9 this morning for breakfast we hadI hot cakes, bacon, butter and jam, coffee, grapefruit and bread forr anyone who wanted it. For lunch s j we had roast beef, mashed pota-t toes, green peas, lettuce salad,I peaches, bread and butter and eof-- fee.

Each kitchen crew services a company of about 200 men. Bread is bought locally but most of the food stuff is hauled from Army supply bases. The mess sergeant pointed with great pride to the refrigerator on wheels which carries all the perish- able edibles for the four messes. "That was built by an Army maintenance crew," the mess ser- geant explained. "I have never seen anything like it efore. It's like having an ice box right in the next room in your apartment-ex- cept this follows you around in- stead of you following it."
