War May Alter
Milk Processing

EAST LANSING, June "a -
P)-- World War II, if it lasts
long enough, may radically
change methods of milk process
ing, Prof p. II. Tracy of the
University of Illinois told the
American Dairy Science Asso-
citation here yesterday.
Prof Tracy suggested that to
conserve vital materials and
transportation, milk could be
doubled in strength" prior to
shipment TO distribution centers,
thus reducing by one-half the
trucks, bottles, caps, labor, re-
frigeration and storage space
now required" he said.
He envisioned the possibility
Of supplying a sterilized form of
undiluted milk to armed forces
in field operations where water
supplies were threatened by pol
luton.
Pointing out that quantities of
evaporated milk purchases for
lend-lease shipments are "piling
up at eastern seaports because
of shipping shortage, Tracy as
serted that only dried whole
milk soon may be accepted for
export.
He emphasized, however, that
the government would purchase
powdered whole milk only If it
could be stored six months with
out spoilage.
Tracy predicted a growing
domestic demand for milk as
result of War-induced shortages
of coffee, tea and other bever-
ages, and increased physical
exercise"
George w. Putnam, vice-pres-
ident of a creamery package
manufacturing m p a n y, said
that although the government
planned additional production of
$50, 100000 pounds Of powdered
milk this year, vital materials
for equipment will be granted
only TO existing dairy plants
which are in essential need"

The Navy has granted commits
Sions to 66,906 men since enact
ment of the selective service law
September 16, 1910, and 1868 of
these have been appointments
from civilian life to the Naval
Reserve.
During the same two-year period
there were 30,632 officer promotions
in the Navy.
These statistics have just gone
to Congress from the Navy Depart
ment in response to an inquiry from
Minority Leader McNary, who said
today a number of members of Con-
gress and civilians had sought the
information from him. He would
not say why the inquiries were
made.
The same information has been
asked OF the Army, but it has not

Mr.. Faddis had contended that
Army commissions were being
granted promiscuously and to un-
deserving persons. Secretary of
War Stimson said SO per cent of the
1857 civilian commissions were to
the Medical Corps and many others
were to posts not requiring military
training.
The McNary request brought the
information from the Navy that OF
