The resolution commits this country to contribute $625,000 to the first year's operations of the Organization which grew from the Interna- tional Food Conference held at Hot Springs, Va., in 1943. It authorizes a contribution of up to $1,250,000 annually thereafter. Twenty-three other nations, including the United Kingdom and China, already have accepted membership. The organization's purpose is described as studying ways to improve world nutrition. Claude R.

American Subs Sink 11 Enemy Vessels By The Associated Press Radio Tokyo boasted of a new sec- ret anti-invasion weapon today while the Japanese government moved to mobilize communications workers in- to an actual fighting force to help defend the battered homeland. Except in China little new ground action was reported from the vast Pacific-Asiatic war theater. The Chinese were fighting furiously on the approaches to one of the biggest prizes in the southern part of that country-Kweiling and its. three big air fields. Warned to Surrender In Washington the Navy Depart- ment announced the sinking of 11 additional Japanese ships by Ameri- can submarines. Meanwhile the Japanese were told officially by an American spokesman that unconditional surrender was the. "only way. by which you can make possible the salvation of Ja- pan." The Army and Navy Journal, un- official service publication, said Pres- ident Truman took with him to the Big Three Congerence a draft of the State, War and Navy Departments' terms on Japanese surrender. These terms, it said, provide for disarma- ment of Japan, loss of territory out- side her home islands, complete econ- omic control by the United Nations and surrender of war criminals. The Navy department announce- ment said the latest bag of the Yank subs included four small combat ships and two transports in addition to some cargo ships. The submarines, prowling deep in Japanese waters since the early months of the war, have sunk a total of 1,174 ships-144 combat vessels and 1,030 others. Mine Sweeper Lost The Department announced the loss of the American motor mine sweeper YMS-84 in Borneo waters. She went down as a result of enemy action. This raised to 325 the num- ber of U. S. Naval vessels lost from all causes since the start of hostili- ties. The Japanese government ordered mobilization of the country's 400,000 communication workers. Radio Tok- yo said they will form an actual fighting force for the coming battle of the mainland.' Tokyo also reported that bombed and shelled Nippon cities were yield- ing enough scrap iron for the con- struction of weapons and fortifica- tions. the camp under the supervision and guidance of trained counsellors. Defines Camp Purpose The purpose of the camp, Prof. Ferdinand Menefee explained, is "to seek the basic reason for the boys' lack of acceptable progress" in his social and school environment. A record is kept at the camp of the boy's progress and is submitted to the social agency in charge of him for further study. The 37 counsellors and the camp staff, consisting of at least three Uni- versity teachers, are chosen for their knowledge of adolescent child psy- chology and their training in educa- tion and social work. The counsel- lors are furnished their tuition, room and board and are required to take six hours in education and sociology courses. Founded in 1921 .The camp had its beginning in 1921 when Lewis C. Reimann, foot- ball tackle, and student pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor, took a group of city boys on a two- weeks camping trip. At the request of Marion LeRoy Burton, President of the University, 180 acres of land on the shores of Patterson Lake, 23 miles from Ann Arbor, was purchased for the camp. The original purpose was to give Detroit boys a two-week vacation un- der the leadership of volunteer Uni- versity students. Eight years ago the University Summer Session began to offer to the counsellors graduate courses related to the camp program. The camp was officially accepted by the University Board of Regents in June, 1944. House, Senate To Take Long Adjournmnents By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, July 21-House members took off today for their longest vacation since 1938 after a listless final session in which they boosted the pay of a group of legis- lative employes and discussed the palatability of horse meat. Barring emergencies which might recall them to work sooner they won't return to business until Octo- ber 8, the 11 weeks holiday being the most extended unbroken surcease from official work since the six- months vacation in 1938. Meanwhile, the Senate adopted the House-approved resolution by which it will adjourn until October 8 after it has acted upon the United Nations Charter.

The United Nations charter is just as sure of passage, although with more debate. Thus far, only Senator Johnson (R.-Cal.), who helped beat United States membership in the League of Nations, has come out against it. Only 4% of G.I.'s To Attend College University educators through- out the nation who had predicted that 20 per cent of the World War II veterans will return to college, modified their estimates following the publication of a recent U. S. Department of Education study. The study revealed that only 9.7 per cent of the returning ser- vicemen ask questions about high- er education and of this fraction 3.5 per cent are expected to actu- ally attend a university or college. Statement Shows American Policy Worked. with Wall1 Street Financiers By The Associated Press WASHINGTON, July 21-The story of American financial deals which built up Germany between wars and hints that some American tycoons backed Hitler in 1930 were released by the state department today. The department, following its usual custom of publishing state papers after 15 years, put out 2,000 pages of documents on American foreign rela- tions in 1930. The chapter on Germany gives considerable attention to Hitler, then clutching for power. It also shows that American policy worked closely with Wall street financiers, anxious9 Fngineering council petition Due Tuesday Noon at Union Prospective candidates for positions on the Engineering Council must sub- mit their petitions by noon EWT (11 a. m.

EWT (7:45 a. m. to Fires Blaing In Oregon as Rain Arrives PORTLAND, Ore., July 21-(RP)-- Welcome rain was falling today over the blazing 70 square miles of north- west Oregon-but the still un- quenched fire continued to roar ahead. Flames defiant of the drizzle raged before a strong south wind over Roundtop Mountain, and approached* within two airline miles of the tim- ber town of Cochran below. Fires Move Toward Ocian Another blaze on the eastern edge of the flaming area was moving to- ward the Pacific coast, 20 miles away. The rain-light in some areas,fair- ly heavy in others-encouraged the 2,000 men who have been vainly fighting the flames for ten days. In half-evacuated Glenwood, log- gers who halted a blaze 1,000 feet from their homes looked out at feebly smouldering embers. "It's raining hard here," said one glee- fully. "They answered our prayers, I guess." Blaze Gaining Rapidly But meanwhile t h e Roundtop Mountain blaze was also approach- ing Glenwood. Fire fighting equip- ment was concentrated on the line, and on the west where the Salmon- berry fire was rapidly gaining west- ward. Spot fires, carried by strong winds, have broken out in so many points that foresters hesitated to guess at the burned acreage. Hurrying to build new trails while the rain slows the flames, fire fight- ers agreed that whether the fire stops or spreads over the entire' 275,000 acres of the Tillamook burn is up to the weather man. The weather forecast was incon- clusive - predicting showers which might or might not be heavy enough to discourage t h e wind-fanned flames. Peru Elects Liberal Rivero President 1:15 p. m.

Officers Arrive To Enter Civil Affairs School Ninety-one Army officers, includ- ing three British and three Canadian officers, have just arrived in Ann Ar- bor to form Class IV of the Civil Af- fairs Training School, Far Eastern Area. They join the one hundred officers of Class III which will be graduated August 18. The new group recently completed an eight-week intensive course at the School of Military Government, Charlottesville, Virginia, and will start on its 26-week course hereMon- day, July 23. It represents fifteen branches of Army service and all grades from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. Many of its mem- bers have been on overseas duty. In addition to study of the prin- ciples, techniques, and mechanics of military government and their ap- plication to Japan, the course of in- struction in the Civil Affairs Train- ing School includes study of Japan- ese language and characteristics of the Japanese nation and people, as well as physical training. The school's administrative offices are located in the Rackham Building which also accommodates most of the instruc- tional activities. Pursuing a curriculum prescribed by the Provost Marshal General's Office, the school is a joint enter- prise of the University and the War Department whose representatives and directors for the civilian and military phases of the program, re- spectively, are Professor W. F. Rams- dell and Colonel Stephen A. Park. to float loans of the troubled, un- stable Reich. American Interests The American Charge D'Affairs in Berlin wrote Secretary of State Henry Stimson that he had heard "certain American financial interests" were actively backing Adolf Hitler and his Nazis as a means of combating trends toward Socialism in Germany. George A. Gordon, the Charge D'Affairs, also said that "Hitler re- ceived very substantial financial sup- port from certain large industrial in- terests." He, judged, however, that their influence on him "has been defi- nitely a restraining one." Sympathy Pleas It ,has been widely predicted that German policy following, the Reich's recent defeat will be based on pleas for sympathy, combined with efforts to get around anti-aggression con- trols. The '1930" papers show actual operation of just such stumbling blocks in the path of those who tried once before to destroy German war potential and plans. The record shows a close parallel to stumbling blocks which -have been widely predicted for the Allies in their second attempt., to destroy German war potential and plans. Germany was' expounding a desire for international peace, but stressing German armed 'equality with the rest of Europe as an important basis of that peace. * * * Nazis PFlan To Regain Power WASHINGTON, July 21 -.(,P)-- Senators back from Europe said to- night that Germany could come back quickly to industrial power and even now is plotting the way. Senator Kilgore (D-W. Va.) said that at least three-fourths of Ger- many's industry could be rehabilita- ted in "three months to a year, at the outside." Senator Mitchell (D-Wash.) said, "Germany is still the world's third largest industrial power. Within five years she could be stronger than she was in 1939." They and Senator Ferguson (R.- Mich.) spoke on a radio program against the idea of letting Germany ever get into a position again to wage aggressive warfare. Kilgore said that German indus- trialists "already have their plans well laid. They intend to recover their property and patent rights and they are already moving to reestab- lish their old cartel connections, as they did after the last war." Ferguson remarked that "if we let German companies like I. G. Farben keep their foreign holdings, they will go on pretty much as before." He ad- vocated taking away this property for reparations and breaking internal German monopolies as well. Germans Bomb Kiev University, Plunder Arts Nazis Burn Buildings Books, Incite Terror EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles on foreign universi- ties under consideration for adoption. Information for this article was supplied by bulletins from the embassy of the USSR. Kiev, an old Ukrainian city, was the cradle of Russian culture. On the day after the German in- vaders reached the city, the plunder of the University's treasures began. World-famous collections of the Zool- ogical and Zootomical Museums, an- cient archives and scientific equip- ment were carried away to Germany. Books were used to pave the streets for German motor vehicles. What the Germans did not re- move they blew up as they fled from troops of the First Ukrainian Front who came to liberate the city No-' vember "6, 1943. The century-old University building was burned to the ground. Twenty-eight laboratories, eight museums, a general library and special departmental libraries, with a total of more than 1,300,000 vol- umes were demolished. In the Ukraine alone, the losses inflicted upon educational facilities amounted to more than two-billion rubbles (about one-billion dollars in United States currency). Those who had survived the Ger- man terrorism, and those who re- turned to Kiev after the liberation found themselves in a dead city. But these people began immedi- ately to rebuild their city. School- children cleared from the streets the rubble of glass and bricks-the remains of their homes and build- ings. Students came to the former site of their University from guerrilla detachments and "underground". hiding places. They gathered to collect a new library, rebuild their school, and began again their edu- cation. On January 15, 1944, the first post- liberation classes were held with more than300 students attending lectures. Today, students sit. in their class- rooms, and through the windows they can see the ruins of the old build- ings. And every day after class they go to work building, brick by brick, a new university. Dance Planned For Saturday Announcement of the foreign uni- versity chosen for adoption by this University will be made at the "Adop- tion Dance," to be held from 9 p. m. to midnight E1WT (8 to 11 p. m.. CWT) Saturday in the Union ball- room. Students will select the university at a campus election on Friday. The institution chosen, one of a group destroyed or damaged during the war will be the recipient of supplies and money to aid in rehabilitation. En- tire-proceeds of the dance will go fo' this purpose.

Monday Dr. Everett Brown of the Political Science Depart- ment will deliver the first German Leaders Guarded; Suicide Precautions Taken DEFENDS HIMSELF: Petain Testifies He Arrested Laval To Stop War Outbreak MONDORF, Luxembourg, July 21- (P)-One of the great dramas of the postwar era is being played out in the rooms and corridors of the once fashionable Palace Hotel where Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering, Joachim Von Ribbentrop, Grand Ad- miral Karl Doenitz and 49 other high- ranking Nazi officials and Wehr- macht officers are being held pend- ing further disposition by the Allied War Crimes Commission. The once impeccable Ribben- trop occupies a bare single room on the fourth floor. He sleeps on a folding canvas cot with straw matt- ress. There are no mirrors and no electrical current is provided. When he is.hestnshe. onesafey-raz lessen his dosage of sedatives, has a larger room across the hall from Rib- bentrop. It has identical furnishings except that Goering's chair is larger. "He is so heavy he broke his other chair," Capt. Biddle said. Goering, who also is suffering from' an attack of bronchitis, is being given a gradually reduced diet of paracodeine. When he arrived, said Col. Andrus, he was taking 20 times the normal dosage of the drug. The routine at the Palace Hotel is almost identical with that of penitentiaries in the United States, with the exception that the only movies are atrocity films and the only amusements walking in the PARIS, July 21-(R)-Marshal Pe- tain testified today that he had Pierre Laval arrested Dec. 13, 1940, to pre- vent Laval from using French troops to seize African colonies which had joined Gen. Charles DeGaulle's Free French movement. He said he did this because he was afraid such action would result in war between Britain and France. The fugitive Laval at present is under de- tention in Spain. The 89-year-old marshal, facing trial Monday on a charge of having intelligence with the enemy, was a witness at a preliminary hearing of Marcel Peyrouton, former Minister entire course of complete collabora- tion. The aged marshal said German pressure forced Laval's release, Vichy position and never influenced Vichy decisions after his arrest.
