No Easy End
to Jap War
StiIweII Saws

DETROIT. May II - R) -
Those who think the war with
japan is going to be easy ought
to take a look at the way the
Japs are fighting on Okinawa.
That was the advice of Gener-
al Joseph w. Stilwell. command
er of the Army's ground forces,
as he addressed the Michigan
Post of the Army Ordnance AS
ISOLATION here Wednesday night.
What the Japanese are doing
now on Okinawa is an indication
of what they will do when they
reach Japan itself" said the for
mer commander of American
ground forces in the China Bur-
ma theater of war.
I'VE must remember that the
japanese had great initial sue
cess against us and against the
British and that the japanese
army has never been defeated in
a war" the four-star general
warned.
There. is a feeling that we
can polish off Japan quickly and
there are those who think we
can even talk her into quitting
but / can't be optimistic about
that he said.
Sti.gell was enthusiastic in
his praise of Detroit's arsenal
of victory" as he declared, Il
don't see why any country ever
would pick a fight with us if
they knew the truth about pro-
duction centers like DETROIT.
Il wonder whether we've held
our end up as we'll as possible
after seeing the marvellous per-
Torrance by Detroit's war work
ers," Stillwell observed.
He listed the jeep, bulldozer,
two and half ton truck and the
CAT cargo plane as the most inn
portant weapons in the Chinese
theater and emphasized the role
Detroit plays in their product
ion.
THE Japs know Detroit pro-
ducts are good, for they even
transport their troops around in
Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge
trucks" he concluded.

last winter Of the possibility
then of Nazi robot bomb at

Navy was ready and frustrated
the German plans, he said.
GRIM TOTALS
The Admiral told his news
conference the Atlantic fleet
definitely" sank 126 U-boatS,
most of them far from shore. "
Counting those sunk by Britain,
Canada and other Allies, the
toll was lin excess of 500."

the 1876 credited TO them, In

Ingram estimated that the
Vboat fleet in December, 194l,
totaled 1873 ships, and grew by
January. l943, to 400. Its peak
strength of $50 was reached in
March, l945.
MENACE ABATED
BY the end of 1943, he said,
anti-submarine measures hao
reduced the U-boatS from a
menace" TO a nuisance. -
Thereafter, the Germans spurred
by their high losses, perfected 4
new type craft which could re-
main submerged for weeks.
With this development, In
grim said he expected a violent
outbreak of renewed activity
early this year, but with Ger
man reversals at home it did not
materialize until late March and
April.
In "last fanatical attempt to
panic us before the collapse" he
said, U-boats managed to tor
pedo five merchantmen off the
east coast in the last three
weeks of war, but all but two of
them reached port.

SEE TAX INCREASE
In order to put Breitmeyer's
plan into operation a special
election would have TO be held.
The plan calls for a boost in the
tax mill rate so that sufficient
revenue would be on hand 10
erect the future city hall.
Commissioner Guy H. Verkler
estimated that the city could
save $4,000 during the six
and one-half year period if the
tax rate were raised two mills.
In connection with the pro-
posed financing of the building,
Breitmeyer raised the question
Of obtaining Federal aid. On his
suggestion the building COM
mittee was asked TO look into
the matter and make a report
on it.
In outlining his plans, Brett
meyer said that the city must
look into the future and urged
the commission TO use the
county building as an example
of the city's future headquarters.
COUNTY NEEDS SPACE
He said That the county has
served notice that they will want
the use of the fifth floor of the
county building, which houses
the city offices, at the end of
the present contract.
In order to face the future
bravely, the commissioner said,
the money should be raised be-
fore the project was begun and
cited the money the city could
save in not having to pay inter
est on bonds. He said that this
saving would be passed on to the
average taxpayer.
In supporting the proposal,
Mayor Wagner asked for far
sightedness in the future build
ing plans. He stated that the new
building must meet the demands
of this city for many years and
hence must be wide in scope.

Dr.. Byrd Is Willing
To Talk With Critics

President H. c. Byrd of the Uni
versity of Maryland yesterday Of
fered to hear eat any time" a STU
dent committee that charged neglect
of fundamental" democracy on the
campus.
DR.. Byrd denied number of the
charges the students made in a
1,700-word report. He commented
that the students statement that
the university charter gave almost
complete control to him lis obviously
not sound, nor is the statement
that the administration reserves the
right to change the curricula at any
time.
LAS to the statement that 100 pro-
fessors have left the university, I
don't undertake to say exactly how
many have left, but it is true that
there has been an unusual turnover
in the last three years in the faculty
and much the same thing has hap
pened in other American colleges.
L do not think there is as much
criticism of the Americanization
program as has been indicated.
. . 1t may be that some professor
who has specialized in some remote
field of literature or history objects
because the new course interiors
with what he would like to teach"
The university president also said
he felt sure professors would invite
outside scholars if the students ex-
pressed interest, and added that he
was not SO powerful in university
affairs as the students had rep
resented.

Virginia Official Charges
Some Diaries Water Milk

charge by the Division of Dairy and
Foods of the State Department of
Agriculture that some milk pro-
ducers in Virginia we're watering
milk was backed up yesterday by
Agriculture Commissioner l.. M.
Walker, jr.
In a bulletin issued by the de-
partment, a small number of pro-
ducers were accused of adding water
to milk to increase the volume. Nine
out of rs milk samples tested during
April were found to be below the
standards set by State law.
Two milk samples, one from Cul-
peper County and one from Bote-
tourt, showed less than the required
3.25 per cent butterfat, while seven
other samples fell below the stand
ard of solids not fat"
This practice is not only dis
honest, but works against the cause
of producing pure milk" the bull
letin stated. Such a practice
should and must be discontinued"
"Unfavorable publicity about the
quality of milk does not benefit the
dairymen's cause" it added.
