HEED RUTHVEN

ThC senator said the committed
action vaS taken after DT. Alex
aDdtr O Ruthven, university
pre- dent revealed that the
regents were opposed 10 opef
meetings.
There Is some merit 10 Dr.
Ruthven'S statements that GER
tain hoard aciinnS should not
get ont io the public and We
feel that, ina>muCh A. our action
would not be compelling, II
would be better 10 let the mat
ter rest" Ac added
It's not question 81
honesty EATON Sdid But the
people Of Michigan are entitled
10 know how their four or five
millions are spent.
There have been persistent
rumoTs about regent actions
which will always continue As
long as they hold secret
meetings.
STORIES ABOUT REGENTS
II have been informed that a
certain re2eHt-had his friends
sent 10 the University of MiChi-
gan Hospital where they re-
ceived disqualification and treat
mentS without payment.
There have been stories that
regents turned over institutional
business To their friends. Such
activities might be all within
the law but an institution of
that type should he way above
reproach.
"As long A. these situations
develop, the public has right
10 he suspicious of regent ae-
tiVities. L.. for one. think IL Is an
outrage that the university can
continue Ia dictate policies and
expenditures without proper
accounting ttt the pcoptc which
support them.
INSISTS on ACTION
"If Senator Higgins means
what he says about reconsider
ing this matter. then am in
siSting for action at this time"
Eaton charged that Ruthven''
explanation was weak because
Michigan newspapers would no.
violate any regents request or
certain institutional matters n
they tended to harm the sChoo
or students.
They talk about land sales
and purchases which should be
secret until completed" Eaton
said. THAT il q lot of bunk be-
cause the state makes far
greater purchases than the uni
VerSity and encounters none of
the difficulties the regents
anticipate.

running things above board or

the concentration camps or
slaughterhouses and the
millions who are now homeless
and will face bitter cold and
starvation this winter.
Americans know Of these
things. They've seen them in
newspaper pictures and
movies have heard them
In radio plays and read many
articles describing them.
But too often, we fail to place
ourselves In the positions of
those unfortunate peoples.
To them an ordinary meal
such as we hurry through every
day would be Thanksgiving
feast fit for the gods. To
them a warm home. new clothes
and shoes and a bed in which to
rest their weary, emaciated
bodies would be tantalizing
dream. To them a school
where children could enjoy play
and study truth untainted by
dictators' venom, would be a
thrill they have never felt they
deserved.
There are a million other
things that these people have
never known as we have:

the enemy had overrun all of Bur ma, Thialand, Indo- China, Malay, Java, Borneo, the Philippines, the Celebes, numerous other islands, and were firmly entrenched on New Guinea, Japanese submarines were operating as far east as the Amer ican Pacific Coast and as far west as Madagascar. China was com- pletely isolated.
 Allies.O Open Pincers
 In l943 the Allies began a vast pincers movement which was to press the Japanese further and further back. New offensives were forming in India and Burma.
 American forces began the task of clearing the Aleutians, and the Army and Navy occupied Amchitka and Adak, constructed airfieldes and bombed Kiska and Attu. Tn May, the Army landed on Attu and wiped out the enemy in three weeks. A subsequent landing on Kiska found that the enemy had fled.
 While American ships were out slugging the Japanese Navy in the Solomons, submarines were busy and by midsummer. had sunk one third of all Japanese shipping.

for the first time bombed the mainland. Navy planes worked over Japanese industry and the Japa- nese did not strike back.
 The airforces = 20th (Super- forts), 9th (Superforts), 7th, 5th and 18th = were in operation against the Japanese mainland with everything from fighters to B-29s and Gen. H. H. Arnold pre- dicted that by the end of the year tha Japanese would be bombed at the rate of 2,000000 tons a year = far heavier than Germany ever re- ceived-in the prelude to invasion.
 With August came the coup-de- grace. At the conclusion of the Potsdam conference on Aug. 3, Pres- ident Truman issued stern ulti- matum to the Japanese to surren- der or face utter destruction.
 This was followed on Aug. 6 by the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, with it unpre- cedented devastation. Two days later, Russia declared war on Japan, and sent her Siberian armies in a giant pincer move into Man. churia. At the same time, the United States 20th Air Force dropped its second atomic bomb on the port of Nagasaki.

Guinea, was evacuated. The Aus tralians appealed to America for aid.
 Dark Days
 The situation became darker as the Japanese overran the Celebes and all of Borneo, swept on toward Singapore and demanded that Mac- Arthur surrender. On Jan. 31 the British withdrew to Singapore island, losing the Battle of Malay after 54 days of jungle fighting which was to characterize later Pa- cific warfare.
 Waves of bombers hit Singapore during that time; Soerbaja, Java, was bombed and parachutists dropped on Sumatra, American B-l7 Flying Forts-the old type without a tail gunner-bombed Malaya.
 Every victory had been Japan's until Feb. 1. Nimitz announced then that task force under Vice. Adm. William F. Halsey had hit six Jap anese naval and air bases in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands. Six teen Japanese ships were sunk.
 Dutch forces suffered severe loss es in the bombardment of Soer- baja, and American fighting planes joined for the first time in the de- fense of Java. Thousands of miles away there were fierce air battles over Rangoon with Claire Chen nault's Flying Tigers in action. On Feb. 8 the Japanese crossed the straits leading to Singapore. cap turing the fortress a week later.

 Tanks Invade Gilberts
 On Nov. 20 American forces in- vaded the Gilbert Islands, and U. s. Marines and Army forces landed on Maxim and Tarawa atolls. Seizure of the Gilbert Islands gave needed ground facilities and long range bombers went to work. On Jan.. S1 the Marshalls were invaded. Then came Kwajalein and Eniwetok.
 On June IA American troops landed on Saipan Island in the Marianas, 1,406 miles from Tokyo. The Japanese fleet sped to the rescue, only to be routed in an action which cost the enemy 140 planes and IA ships sunk. Guam was next on the invasion schedule.

 Rangoon fell and the Japanese attacked Ceylon. The Japanese Bat tie Fleet moved into the Bay of Bengal. and Ceylon and India were threatened. anew. The repulse Of the enemy fleet on Easter Sunday, 1922. marked the end of expansion by sea.
 Bataan was captured on April g. On May 6 Corregidor surrendered and the survivors were led on the death march through Manila. Mac Arthur had reached Australia on March IT.
 Bitter resistance on New Guinea slowed the Japanese for the first time and the enemy's defeat at Milne Bay and the subsequent bat ties of Buna and Coma marked the start of the road back. An invasion force was defeated in the Coral Sea on May 9--first major naval victory for the U. s. Navy-and Americas production might began to tell.
 DOoIittle's Raid
 On May 10 handful of B-25 Mitchell bombers under It. Col, James F. Doolittle dropped a hand ful of bombs on Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and Kobe. In June the Japanese Navy was decisively de. feated at Midway in 8 greater vic- tory than that of the Coral Sea.

 On August 10, Admiral King an- nounced that American forces had landed on Guadalcanal In the S0l- ouion Islands. invaded by the Japa- nese earlier in the year. Months of bitter fighting on land and on sea followed before the Japanese were cleared from the area.
