For Forum Members

Following a delicious roast beef
dinner in Charles Mckenny Hall.
/ Monday evening, o. J. Cleary, com
mander OF the 3lst infantry regi.
ment OF Michigan State Troops in
the Detroit area, addressed the
Forum Club members on the or
ganiZatiOn and work OF the Mich
igan State Troops. He said that
there are four infantry regiments
in the statee. They were not well
equipped for the sudden race riot in
l943 in Detroit, he said, but this
taught them a lesson. and since
then his regiment has become one
OF the best in the United States.
In speaking OF the 1913 riot. he
said that as soon as the state and
nationaf troops marched into De-
troll, ne riating stopped immedi-
ateiy.

the best organized. An interesting

Rules Lifted for

For the first time In several

acreage or marketing controls. ac-
cording 10 announcement made on
Tuesday by the agricultural exten-
sion service at the University oil
Arizona at Tucson.
DR.. II. l.. Matlock. extension
agronomist. said that while he
had learned only on Tuesday OF the
removal Of controls. he does not
believe there viii be a great In
crease IN Arizona cotton produc-
ton.
While some farmers might look
Iongingly at the opportunity for
unlimited poduction. / believe the
water shortage and extremely un-
certain labor outlook for next year
will cause most of them TO refrain
from too ambitious a program,
he said. The intention ot the agri-
cultural adjustment administration
act Is to protect consumers and
producers In maintaining adequate
supplies OF food and fibers.
