the Law School to meet demands
made by the Nations war effort, it
was announced by DR.. William c..
Van Week, dean.
Registration will take place for
freshmen Wednesday in the Hall of
Government Building, Twenty first
and G streets NV. All other
students will enroll on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. Freshmen
week begins today with sorority
mothers teas, between 4 and 7
pm, sponsored by the various
sororities on the campus.

for entering freshmen on Tuesday,
one at 11:15 am. and another at

Changes Are Announced.
Among the changes announced by
Dean Van Week for the Law School
this year are: Placing the Law
School on lhree-semester basis
beginning this semester; Inaugural
ton of mid-term examinations to
supplant the examinations formerly
given at the close of each semes-
ter; and the publication of the Uni
versity's Law Review on quarterly
basis.
The Law School already has re-
duced its entrance requirement to
two years college work. This step
was taken when it was made known
that some of the outstanding edu-
cational institutions in the country,
including Stanford, Duke and Har-
ward, had lowered their law school
entrance requirements.
The two-year requirement is to
remain in effect for the duration.
Under this plan, which is approved
by the Association of American Law
Schools and the American Bar
Association, student may graduate
by attending continuously for two
and one-half years from the time
he leaves high school.

Chicago Grain

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Grain prices
today derived only moderate, and In
some cases temporary. support from
Senate passage of legislation which
would restrict the flow OF Govern
ment owned wheat and corn from
ever-normal granary stocks into
consumption.
Market quotations were up frsc-
tons to almost cent at times, with
corn and rye showing the most
strength, but these gains were re-
duced later.
Traders said the Senate legisla-
ton offered the possibility that
Government grain. now offered for
sale at prices only slightly above
the open market, would be with
drawn and not retendered except at
100 per cent of parity, or several
cents higher than at present. On the
other hand, they said. there is likeh-
hood that the bill, if passed by the
House, may be vetoed and that its
failure to become law might cause
release of privately owned grain
now held off the market on expec-
tation that Government sales will be
checked.

Sugar Executive Predicts
Rationing End in 1943

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Benj jamin.
o. Sprague, president of the Sa-
vannah Sugar Refining Corp, said
today his company believed that
more sugar may be available to
Americans later this year and that
sharply higher production could
make unnecessary sugar ALLEGATIONS
in 1943.
Sprague in his annual report to
stockholders said:
1T will not be necessary to hold a
large reserve of sugar for the year
1943 as Cuba can undoubtedly pro-
duce 100000 or 100000 tons Of
sugar If guaranteed a market for it.
and Puerto Rico can probably In
crease its output to 2,00o, 900 tons or
over"
He said it was reasonable to be-
ieve that the current ALLEGATION to
ref1ners of 70 per cent of the sugar
used in l94l would be increased later
in the year.

menace in the Atlantic was una

Secretary Stimson that unidenti-
fled planes had flown over Los An

anti-aircraft forces served to tenn

Exchange Governors
To Weigh Higher
Commissions
Board Will Consider
New Rote Schedule
Later Today
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-A schedule
of increased commissions Tor buy
ing and selling securities on the
New York Stock Exchange will be
considered at a meeting Of the ex-
changes Board of Governors late to-
day, it was learned in financial
quarters.
The new schedule, which will be
in the form of an amendment to the
exchanges constitution requiring
approval both Of the governors and,
later, Of the exchange membership,
was expected to boost the average
commission some 20 to 25 per cent
The last upward revision in COM
mission charges by which brokers
have attempted to offset dwindling
speculative business and higher
costs was made in December, 1887,
and averaged about II per cent.
Stock exchange commissions are
ccSCo OAA lllC PLIIC VI U4lC olOShS
traded At present the rates charged
by brokers for round lots" (units
of 100 shares) range from 3 cents
share for stocks selling between
so cents and 81 a share, to 13 cents
for stocks selling at $40 a share,
plus l cent for each additional $40
share on the price.
Brokers explained that since COM
mission income is determined in part
by the general level of prices, and
since this level has declined ma
terially since the 1887 hike in
charges, the value of that boost has
largely been nullified.
1t was understood Emil Schram
president Of the exchange, had in
formally presented the higher charge
schedule to the Securities and Ex-
change Commission at a conference
at Washington yesterday. While the
commission has no veto power over
the exchanges charges to its GUS
toners, it was understood that they
had given at least tacit approval tc
the proposed higher rates.

Question Tubercular
Mothers Right to
See Her Child

CHICAGO, July 30-(P)-A
group of physicians was called
in by the superior court today
to pass upon tubercular moth
er's right to see her child.
Judge John F. Bolton wants
the doctors to help him decide
whether monthly visits to the
Cook County hospitals tubercu-
losis ward would endanger the
child's health, and whether the
visits would aid the mothers re-
covery.
Principals in the unusual case
were Leroy Ritzmann, a defense
worker in Grand Rapids, Mich;
his eStranged wife, Marguerite,
81; and their three year old
daughter, Florence May.
The little girl is living with
Ritzmann pending trial of his
Wife's separate maintenance suit.
Claiming he was afraid his
daughter might contract tuber-
culosis, Ritzmann has asked the
court to modify an order permit
ting the child to see her mother
once month.
The hearing will be resumed
next Friday, when it was ex-
pected the physicians would
make their recommendations.

DIFFERENT TYPES
NEEDED FOR WAR

Another tight spot in steel Is
structural shapes, used primarily
for buildings and secondarily in
ships. Because of the huge plant
expansion program, we needed
more than the fabricating capac-
ity could turn out. In the first
quarter of this year we made
half again as many tons of struc-
tural shapes as in the correspon-
ding period of 1887, banner
year.
So we have the plants with
which to make enough ingot
steel, but we do not have enough
Steel-in the required forms
with which to carry out our war
program at full speed.
Why are we thus behind the
eight ball? Whose fault is our
plight? What are we doing about
it-and when? That is another
story, for tomorrow.

We had twenty eight continu-
Gus strip mills, designed to roll
fifteen million tons Of thin steel
mostly for automobile use. The
utmost we ever produced in mod

more than 100000 tons.
This year we are turning out
close to 100000 tons of plate
too heavy for the strip mills,
but lighter than pre-war thick
nesses and therefore represent

Plate is a major bottleneck in

They had one brief, wor6less

The Japanese were changing in

Nomura indicated he want

Later, it was understood, No
mura sent word he would like
to talk with the American En-

have any contact with the Jap
anese.
Grew had known both No
mura and Kurusu we'll during
his stay in Tokyo. His contacts
with Nomura, especially during
the latter's brief term as foreign
minister in 1889, were said to
have been marked by mutual
friendliness and conf | dence.
KuruSu also was an acquain-

Grew had expressed deep dis

Why, then should steel be so

for us?
The answer is to be found, in

under which our peaceful ma

CINE of military destruction.
We started late. We are en-
deavoring to do overnight what
Germany did over years. We are
