RECONVERSION IN MUNICH
(Hartford Courant)


 A recent development of consider able symbolic significance is the conversion of the Nazis far-famed Munich beer hall into Red Cross center, at which American dough- boys in our occupation forces now stop for coffee and doughnuts, The same walls that heard that little band of men of i'll will planning the abortive putsch of 1923, and that later shuddered under the ex- plosion that failed to take Hitler's life after he had set out to en- slave the world. now echo to the voices of the G. Is who played such a predominant role in ending the Fuehrer's megalomaniac dreams.
 There is a poetic justice in this transformation, signaling the com- pletion of cycle that all but de- stroyed freedom the world over. First came the period in which a few misfts in the social scheme gathered to brood over their beer mugs about the injustice of it all, and to conspire to win their way to power by fair means or foul. Then followed the outbreak of violent dis sension in their ranks when they stood astride a prostrate Europe, but in their overweening pride over reached themselves. The attempted assassination of the archfiend of them all was but one aspect of this falling out among the conspirators themselves.
 Finally, after their diabolical schemes came to complete collapse, with consequent ruin for the Father land, comes the period in which the nation that spawned these evil men is governed by the several intended victims of it's worldwide conquest. The doughboys drinking their coffee and munching their doughnuts in the Buergerforau Keller can find much to muse about in it's history. But probably they are too busy carv- ing their initials on the furniture to care.

After work the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge, Tenn, had been going on for a couple of years-but before the bomb dropped-the then Undersecretary of War, Judge Robert P. Patterson began to get little worried Millions of dollars were going out and there nothing to show for it. He called in his construction adviser M J. Madigan, and told him to go down there and inspect. Madgan didn't know anything about atomic energy but he did know the building game having been contractor all his life. He came back shaking his head

NEWS FROM GLASSES

I find alumni magazines
 The sort of reading I admire, For they evoke nostalgia scenes Of talk and pipe and ale and fire The news from classes sends me back
 To halcyon days that l have known, And avidly I scan the stack Of items with my own.
 I read of good old So-andSo And how the world has gone with him
 And find him now, as long ago, A raconteur, a wit, a limb. But even better than the news, I like the cuts my outfit rates, The groups and singles, all the views
 Of those who were my campus mates.
 For in them all the story's told; scan it with certain glee. Since every one is growing old Except, miraculously me.

Third Army Makes Large Gain In Drive SOuthward

PARIS, April 23-<P)-Patton's Third Army veered sharply south eastward for twenty eight mile gains in a new full blown offen- sive, shearing most of the routes between the Pilsen and Prague munitions area and Hitler's na- tional redoubt in the Bavarian Alps.
 The Luxembourg radio said the First Army had joined the Rus sians near Torgau thirty-one miles northeast of Leipzig and finally splitting the Germans northern redoubt from the moun- tain fastness in the south. Su- preme headquarters made no con- firmation and said the junction would be announced by Washing ton, London and Moscow.
 At last reports the Allies and the Russians were fifteen to twen- ty miles apart. The Hellcat Divi- sion of the Seventh Army reached a town on the Danube fifty miles from Munich after fourteen mile spring from a town not identified. A two lane bridge was captured intact. The Danube was crossed farther west.
 Tn the north the British opened the final assault on Bremen and besieged Hamburg, second and first ports in Germany. Dempsey's tanks piled up on the Elbe on a fifty mile front northwest of the one hundred and fifty mile stretch held in the American Ninth and First Armies. Canadians besieged Emden but were checked in west ern Holland on the flooded Greb- be Eeem river line.

save a very fine word picture of
his two years search through South
American countries for quinine. at
the weekly meeting of Kiwanis at
the Huron Hotel Wednesday noon.
Or, Steere was one of the men
chosen by the government in 1912
to go into South America and re-
open the market there which had
been discontinued for 100 years.
in order to supplant the loss of qui.
nine sources in the East Indies,
which had been taken over by the
japanese. At the time of the Jap
seizures, it was estimated that 80
per cent Of the worlds supply of
quinine had been cut off and dras-
tic measures had to be resorted to,
to replenish the loss.
He stated that the quinine pro-
auction in South America had been
MIXED dry. the industry having
been started by the Indians prior
to 1900, and no effort ever having
been made to replace the trees.
As result about a hundred years
ago the industry was allowed to die
out as they could not compete with
the plantations of East India. d.
He spoke of the tremendous
problems faced in getting to and
harvesting the bark necessary TO
extract the quinine and the very
serious problems OF transportation
in getting the bark out Of the coun-
try. First, the bark, after being
dried. had TO be carried out by In
dams. then on mules, then by Az
my trucks down to where they
could get It on trains, thence to the
seaports, requiring weeks before 1t
finally could be shipped to this
country.
An interesting feature was that
even thoagh they were actually
working on the equator, the alti-
tude at which they were working
was so high that cold Weather pre-
vailed most Of the time. and rain
was experienced daily.
In spite Of the obstacles enough
ouinine was harvested to meet the
needs Of the military, but DIT.
Steere was of the opinion that it
would still be some time before
enough can be produced for civilian
use.
Guests at the meeting included:
Roland Loeffler, Detroit. John Ka'
gay, of Ann Arbor, DR.. R. A. Dud-
ley, missionary to India, Robert
Bower, Dr.. George Westcott, OF
