Hanging for Jap Killers

Ey the Associated Press.
The Army and Navy journal says
death by hanging should be meted
out to japanese responsible for the
execution of American aviators, be-
cause the Nipponese regard death
by the rope as "the most disgrace

When Toxic surrenders, the Jour-
nal suggests editorially, we should
require that the Japanese turn over
to us for hanging "at least 10 off,
GERS, some of the highest rank. in
any case all of the men who slew
our aviators."
The journal referred both to the

Civilians 10 Get
All Butter Made
Until March
Government to Quit
Buying in Move to
Relieve Shortage
BY the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press.
Military and other Govern
ment purchasing agencies have
arranged to get out and STAY
out OF the butter market until
March to permit the entire pro-
ductlon to move into civilian
consumption channels.
War Food Administration officials
who disclosed the action yesterday
SAID it should help relieve shortages
which have developed in some areas,
particularly those distant from ma ior
producing areas, by making from 10
to 80 per cent more butter available
for civilians than the average con-
sumed by them during the last seven
months.
They make no prediction, however,
as to possible changes in the ration
point value for butter, which now is
is points pound compared with 8
points last summer.
Congress Notified.
Notice of the Government decision
to remain out of the market until
production begins to increase next
spring has been sent to members of
Congress who have inquired about
recent shortages and the sharp ad.
vance in the ration value.
Food officials say the Government
already has bought and stored suf-
flcient butter to meet essential mill
tary, lease-lend and other nom
civilian requirements until March.
Stocks now held by the Government
total approximately 10000 900
pounds, accumulated during the last
seven months under an order re-
quirlng manufacturers to set aside
specified percentages of their out
put for the Government. That or
der was suspended this month.
VIA officials estimate production
OF creamery butter will average be-
tween 100000 and 13OOOO.O00
pounds month during the next
five months. Civilian consumption
during the last seven months has
averaged only 100000 pounds.
Requirements Estimated.
Thus If these production estimates
are borne out, civilian supplies will
average more than did consumption
during the period from last Febru-
airy, when supplies dropped abnor-
mally, through September.
Government requirements Of
creamery butter during the Il
months ending next February
have been estimated at approxi-
mately 450,0O0,000 pounds. and, as
stated, there is believed to be
enough now on hand to finish the
period. Civilian supplies for this
period are expected to total approxi-
mately 1924 100000 pounds. Two
thirds Of the Government purchases
were allotted to this country's armed
services and bulk of the remainder
to Russia.
WA officials say the l6-point
ration value, which may be un-
changed at least during the winter.
was set principally to cut down con-
sumption in areas closest to produc-
ton, where consumption was run
ming far ahead of the per capita
supply available.

Senate War Reports
May Bring Changes
In i. 5. Foreign Policy
Even High Commands
Strategy Might Be
Altered by Criticism
BY the Associated Press.

RF the Associated Press.
The "Off-the record report of
the war which the Senate re-
ceived last week from five of its
members has started the ball
rolling on what may be far
reaching changes in this Nation S
dealings with its Allies and the
peoples of reconquered lands.
Even military strategy, which re-
mains matter for the high COM
mand, may feel the weight of legis-
latlve pressure as a result of the
net critical summary of the wars
conduct given their colleagues by
Senators Russell Of Georgia. Chand-
ler OF Kentucky and Mead of New
York, Democrats. and Lodge of Mas
Sachusetts and Brewster of Maine.
Republicans.
The effect of their version of
40,000-mlle trip to the world bat
tleflelds, delivered in two closed
door sessions, seems likely to be
translated into these early results:
l. Strengthened opposition to any
declaration of foreign policy that
makes specific commitments in ad-
vance of statement of postwar
Intentions by Britain and Russia.
Would Check Lease-Lend.
2. Revision of lend opera
tlons to prevent other countries
tnotably BritainD from obtaining
credit for furnishing supplies which
originate in the United States.
Along With that is promised a check
on the charge backs made by other
nations as reverse lease-lend.
3. Increased demand by Congress
that other countries share fully in
relief and rehabilitation and that
American agencies rot promise
postwar benefits that the United
States may have difficulty deliver
ing
4. A developing contention thai
this country must maintain military
bases far from this continent for its
future security, as well as have
military and commercial access to
airports We are building throughout
the world.
Some Changes Made.
There are other changes which
many in Congress would like to see
made and some which already are
under way. In the former category
lies the suggestion of the five Sena-
tors Tor Strengthening the diplomatic
corps and advancing members in
rank. AS an instance of the latter.
the administration already has be-
gun readjustmenS to equalizc the
drain on British and American sup
Plies of petroleum.
Military strategy naturally will be
less affected by the report, but even
the military leaders cannot disre-
gard wholly the general dissatisfac-
ton with which the five Senators
viewed the slow progress of the war
in the Pacific. That does not mean,
! Of course, that the high command
will adopt the strategy suggested

Urges Cautious Action
On Proposals to Expond
Services Next Year
BY DON S. WARREN.

An appeal for a "realistic' ap-
prOach to proposals for expand
ing District government services
in the next fiscal year was made
yesterday by Budget Officer
Walter L. Fowler as he advised
the Commissioners that this year
would end with a general fund
surplus of nearly S7,000,000-due
to wartime conditions.
In a memorandum he stressed
two things: Advisability of using at
least S4,l50,000 next fiscal year to
clean up most of the Districts out
standing indebtedness and using
other funds to buy sites and make
actual plans now for capital i'm
provements which will become i'm
possible after the war.
Emphasizing that the war has
placed blight on capital improve
ments, Mr.. Fowler warned that ap-
parent surpluses will fade away"
Revenue Estimates Off.
He stressed that anticipated reve-
nues for the next fiscal year were
estimated to be about $500. 900 less
than for this fiscal year. This was
an argument that the wisest policy
was to use available surplus funds
for debt payment and for making
postwar plans for improvements as
against centering on expansion of
existing services.
Mr.. Fowler revealed Though he
warned against it, that all general
fund appropriation requests from
District departments and services
for l945 could be covered by esti-
mated revenues, with q surplus of
nearly S500OOO.
This fiscal year, the District is
repaying S6,85OOOO on debt-far be-
yond legal requirements-so much
