its attention today to the problem
|of assuring the nations of the
Western Hemisphere freedom from
economic discrimination" in the
postwar world.
The new freedom is the backbone
OF a United States economic pro-
gram designed to make the hem
isphere prosperous by knocking
down tariff barriers and building up
industries.
Assistant Secretary Of State Will
liam S. Clayton is expected to out
line the plan in an address before
the Conference Economic Commits
sion.
The United States has said that
no relief on shipping is in sight
until after the war, when con-
ditions are expected to be much
improved. To Latin American de-
mands for higher coffee ceiling
prices, the United States has stated
preference for maintenance of
present ceilings in order to avoid
infationary effect.
The Latin American countries say
they cannot reduce trade controls
entirely, because their infant indus
tries require some sort of protec-
ton.
The United States has recognized
this argument, and has attempted
to arrange commitments or moral
understandings in specific instances
that such protection, principally
tariffs, will be reduced gradually.

College Standards
To Meet 81 Needs
Stressed al Farley

Fear that some educational insti-
tutions will compete for veterans as
students by offering generous cred
its for training courses taken in
the armed forces was expressed to-
day at a conference called by the
National Education Association on
veterans training under the CT Bill
of Rights.
r. H. Eckelberry, editor of the
Journal of Higher Education, pub
lished by Ohio State University, said
college standards will have to be
changed. but it would be a tragedy
if institutions seeking larger enroll
ment should lower them too much.
Mr.. Eckelberry through his publ
cation has been protesting the liber-
atty of some States in accreditlng
educational enterprises of the pri-
vate profit type to participate in the
estimated $4,000, 100000 the Govern
ment is expected to spend on vet
eran education.
1T will be unfortunate" he said,
IF our established institutions do
not prepare to educate multiples OF
their prewar enrollments by night
or extension courses If they do not
they will be opening vast and
profitable opportunity for quack
educators.
| Howard A. Dawson, director OF
rural service of NEA, interjected
that one of the problems institutions
must meet is that of housing mar
ried students with children. Many
of those who signified an intention
to resume their education under the
CT bill when they answered an Army
questionnaire are married. Typical
postwar student quarters will have
to include two bedroom, kitchenette
apartments, he said.
Credit to be given the thousand
of medical corpsmen toward physi-
clans degree or to the radar tech
nicians toward professional electrical
engineering degrees will have to be
determined by the individual insti-
tuition, Mr.. Eckelberry said.

Graded three-fourths of all Ger

The Canadians broke into Calcar,
bitterly defended fortress road
center, and the Brussels radio said
the town Of 2,053 had been occupied.
The Canadians and the American
Sd and 9th Armies captured 20 Ger
man towns overnight. The largest
was Etkelenz. a critically important
road center and the last large place
before Muenchen Gladbach.
At places on the Water-logged Co.

These included Cologne, 10000,

Dusseldorf, $4,000 and 18th in
size; Duisburg, 431 900 and 18th;
Muenchen Gladbach, $4,000, and

Outf1anked Trier, $4,000. was within
4 miles Of the Sd Army.
The Germans still were fighting
The battle on the Cologne Plain was
not rout, but the gains were vir-
tually as fast as the Americans
could walk and wade across the
rolling country which Won Rundstedt
had tried to convert into a field
fortress.
Demands of the hard pressed
eastern front were known to have
accounted for much of the thinout.
Won Rundstedt appeared to have
been placed in a position where,
against major force offensive, he
had to retreat, since he lacked
troops to sacrifice in suicide stands.
German Front Weaker.
The German front was weaker
than it had ever been. perhaps COM
prising no more than so divisions,
many of them far below strength.
That force guarded the 450-mile
stretch from the North Sea to the
Alps. Won Rundstedt was believed
to have the 5th Panzer Army east
of the Rhine for a supreme effort
to save the Ruhr, but that army had
been mauled severely in the abor-
tive Ardennes offensive.
In the center of the western front,
the 5th Division of 1t. Gen. George
S. Patton's Sd Army advanced 2
miles and reached point l mile
southwest of Bitburg, while the 4th
Armored Division destroyed seven
tanks and took high ground over
looking the Kyll River-expected to
be powerful German defense bar
rier to the Middle Rhine. A point
2 miles north of Bitburg was seized
and 2-mile advances were general
all along the 80 miles of the Moselle
Valley to east of Saarburg.
Bitburg is a fortified road center
on the main highway to Trier and
Cologne. In peacetime $500 Ger
mans lived there. Defenses before
Bitburg were light, indicating prob
ably that majority of the Ger
mans already had obe ndoned the
town.

MEXICO CRY, Feb. 27.-The
first formal definition of a war
criminal to be offered the world in
an international agreements
definition broad enough to cover
Nazis guilty of atrocities against
Jews within Germany-was being
considered today by the Inter-
American Conference in session
here.
The definition was contained in a
resolution sponsored by the United
States delegation proposing that
the American republics cooperating
in the war effort adopt a uniform
procedure for delivering to the
proper authorities any one charged
with war crimes who might seek
refuge in their territories. 1t
classed as war criminals "the Axis
leaders and their associates who
have caused to be committed" as
well as the individuals who actually
committed "hideous crimes" in vio-
lation Of:
l. The laws of war.
2. Existing treaties.
3. Rules of international law
4. Penal codes Of civilized nations.
S. The concepts of civilized life"
The fifth point was included in
order to make sure that any one
guilty of a generally recognized
crime against humanity which was
not covered by any existing national
or international law would not be
able to claim refuge on such a tech
nicality. Germans guilty of atrocities
against their own nationals, such as
the Nazi-legalized crimes against
Jews in Germany, would be covered
by this point. Adoption by the con-
ference here of the broad definition
of war criminals and agreement on
procedure for turning them over to
their accuSers was considered nee
esSary to avoid technicalities in con-
nection with extradition treaties
which protect political refugees. The
proposed action would set up clear
cut basis on which to distinguish
real war criminals from persons who
sought refuge in the Americas mere
ly because of political differences
with government that might
classify them loosely as war crimi-
nails"
The resolution calls on the Inter-
America Juridicial Committee at
Rio de Janeiro to prepare for adop-
ton by the participating govern
ments plan to determine priority
when custody of an accused war
criminal is asked by whatever United
Nations agency may be set up for
the trial and punishment of war
crimes and by one or more indi-
vidual nations in which offenses
were committed. 1t is likely that
the procedure to be worked on,
would provide for delivering a want.
ed person to the nation or agency
having the most serious charge
against him existing. Extraditior
treaties for ordinary criminals give
priority to the first country making
a request for the return of an &C.
cused individual.
