I Federal Agencies
Cooperate 10 Study
Veterans Schooling

Seven Federal agencies, called on
by Reconversion Director John w.
Snyder, will launch joint attack
this week on the problems threat
ening college education for vet
eranS.
Mr.. Snyder cited the acute short
age of teachers, equipment and
housing as conditions which may
seriously limit the number of vet
Grams returning to college and pre-
vent many nonveterans from en-
tering school,
In calling the meeting Mr.. Snyder
commended constructive steps al
ready taken by the Federal agencies
as well as State and university Off
cials to meet the problem, but he
asked the seven agencies to "formu-
late a joint program of further
action to make sure that the maxi
mum number of veterans will benefit
from the educational provisions of
thes sGI Bill of Rights
Some Teachers Released.
Agencies cooperating in the new
program are the Veterans Admin
istration, Retaining and Re-em-
ployment Administration, United
States Employment Service, Sc
lective Service System, Office of
Education, Public Housing Authority
and Civilian Production Admins
tration.
Among the constructive steps cited
! by the reconverSion director were
the moving of temporary war hous-
ing to college campuses, release by
the Army and Navy of a limited
number of teachers ahead of the
discharge schedule, release by the
armed forces of laboratory and other
technical equipment to colleges and
preparation of directory of college
opportunities for use by veterans
counsellors.
Most of the affected agencies al

full impact of veterans seeking
schooling will jam educational ia

patton zones of Berlin against a
merger with the Communists and
appeared today to have blocked any

refused to allow the Social Demo-
Gratis to vote on the merger in the
Soviet zone, closing the polls with
police aid. Several Allied CORE
spondents were arrested While tour
ing the Russian zone and held sew
eral hours without explanation.
In the American, British ano
French zones, the Social Democrats
voted 1899 to 2,937 against merging
with the Communists.
The Communists appeared to have
little chance of effecting a merger

government is formed.

Stain Promised Nazis
Free Hand in Poland,
Ribbentrop Claims
BY the Associated Press

NUREMBERG. April Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, former Nazi Foreign
Minister, testified before the Inter-
national Military Tribunal today that
Prime Minister Stain agreed in
Moscow in August, 1899, that he
''Would never accuse Germany of
aggression because of her actions
in Poland"
The agreement was that "if ag-
gression were spoken of, both parties
would be guilty." Won Ribbentrop
said.
The accord, Won Ribbentrop con-
tlnued, was reached August 81,
1939-less than two weeks before the
Nazi march into Poland-in the
course of negotiations for a Rus
sian-German non-aggression pact
and secret protocol for partitioning
Poland, Finland and the Baltic
States.
Soviet Protests Procedure.
The testimony was given after r.
A. Rudenko. Soviet prosecutor, pro-
testec. against admission of an af-
fidavt by Friedrich Gaus, former
Nazi Foreign Office negotiator, re-
latinh hto the alleged secret protocol.
RuUenko accused the defense of
attempting to divert the attention
of the tribunal from real issues by
dwelling on the reported Russian
German understanding prior to the
outbreak of the war.
Il don't wish to speak about this
affidavit because l attach no i'm
are not here to investigate the pol
icy of the Allied Nations. We are
here to investigate charges against
war criminals"
Affidavit Admitted.
The tribunal decided, however
that the affidavit could be ad-
mitted as evidence and that Won
Ribbentrop could testify on the
matter.
Won Ribbentrop said that at the
time the alleged secret agreement
was negotiated there was not the
slightest doubt in the minds of Hit
Ter or Stain that if all negotiations
with Poland came to naught ter
ritory taken from our two countries
by force of arms would be reunited
to them by force of arms. In this
manner the eastern boundaries (of
Poland) would be turned over to
the Soviet Union and the western
territories to Germany"

Farming Notes
By HI. ID. Quessenberry

Last year sour, dirty, or other
wise poor quality milk lost $780,
600 for North Carolina dairymen.
During this hot summer weather,
the local milk plants are having
to reject hundreds of pounds of
milk because it is soured. This
poor quality milk is a loss not
only to the dairymen but to the
milk hauler, the plants, and the
general public.
Milk properly handled on the
farm should reach the milk plant
in good, clean, sweet condition.
Following are six simple methods
of procedure for producing good
quality milk.
l. Wash the cows udder just
before milking.
2. Milk in a clean sterilized
pail.
3. Strain milk through an ap-
proved milk strainer.
4. Cool milk Immediately after
milking by setting milk can in
cold water, and stirring frequent
ly. (Be sure water level is as
high or higher than milk in CAM
Stir until the animal heat is out
of the milk.
5. Don't mix the warm morning
milk with the cold evening milk
as this practice will sour milk
rapidly. If you can't properly
cool the mornings milk before
shipping it, don't mix it with the
cool milk. Ship it in a can by
itself or cool it and keep it until
the next morning.
b. Keep all milk utensils clean
and sterilize them just before US
ing them.
MORE MILK, MORE MILK,
MORE MILK is the cry of this
worlds great milk and dairy
products consuming public.
