Meat, Shoe Rationing To End by Dec. 31
Washington, —(UP)—The public today received its first flat guarantee that all meat and shoe rationing will be over by Dec. 31.
The promise was made by Price Chief, Chester Bowles who said "shoes and meat will come off the list by the end of 1945—perhaps sooner. Tires and fats and oils will probably come off early in 1946. That will leave only sugar."
Tokyo.—(UP)—Gen. Douglas Mac-Arthur today ordered the arrest of 34 Japanese accused of the massacre cf more than 109 Allied war prisoners and announced that three veteran Pacific combat divisions, the 31st, 37th, and 38th, would embark for the United States within seven weeks.
The latest prediction of the end of shoe rationing is that it will come by Oct. 15.
Wichita,--(UP)--Witchita today faced its third flood in two years as 8.63 inches of rain since Sunday sent Chisholm creek and the Little Arkansas river to flood levels. Crest of the flood waters was at Sedgwick today and was expected to reach Wichita by tomorrow morning.
He did not indicate when sugar could be taken off rationing except to say it would be "when supply catches up with demand."
A Million for Hitler, Is Texan's Suggestion
Dallas, Tex.—(UP)—Is Hitler dea or isn't he?
C. Andrade III, Dallas oil man thinks he has a pretty good way of finding out.
He has written President Truman, urging the chief executive to offer a $1,000,000 reward for information leading to the duerher's whereabouts.
Washington, Sept. 28.-(UP)The White House announced today that President Truman has nominated Gov. J. Howard McGrath of Rhode Island to be Solicitor General of the United States. He is to succeed Charles Fahey, who resigned.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 28.—(UP)—President Truman will not attend the annual Battery F Last Man's club dinner here tomorrow night—the first time he has been absent since the club was organized in 1922.
Control Bomb, Truman Asked
New York, Sept. 28. —(UP)—Former Supreme Court Justice Owen D. Roberts and 33 other prominent Americans asked President Trump last night to seek establishment of a world government as the only means of controlling the atomic bomb.
They urged the president to tell congress and the people that "we cannot now afford to wait the suggested 10 years for a review and reconsideration of the United Nations charter." The Uno will be as "dead as the League at Geneva" when the interests of the principal members clash, they said.
Will Sue Jap Government
Denver, Sept. 28 — (UP)—The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was an "illegal act," so two Denverites will file with the U.S. state department damage claims totalling $700,000 in compensation for the loss of their two sons who died aboard the battleship Arizona, an attorney disclosed here today.
'Blood'n' Guts On the Carpet
Frankfort, — (UP)—Gen. George S. Patton reported to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower today on the denazification of Bavaria, where army investigators were said to have found 20 known Nazis holding high positions in the provincial government.
Patton, military gvooren of Bavaria, came to Eisenhower to explain personally the stand he had taken that certain Nazis should be kept in administrative positions. Eisenhower had ordered all Nazis ousted, and his chief of staff had rebuked Patton for his statements on the subject.
As soon as he arrived from his Third army headquarters in Bavaria, Patton went into conference at headquarters. More than two hours later the conference still was going on.
While it was in progress, reliable sources reported than an official army investigation in Bavaria had established that a score of Nazis were in important provincial government positions.
Eisenhower's headquarters had made it clear that Patton's position as military government of Bavaria, through which the Third army swept in the final push against the German army, depended on his report to the supreme commander.
Eisenhower had ordered Patton to appear before him "on the first clear day or as soon as business permitted." Patton's haste despite the bad weather indicated his desire for a speedy settlement of the controversy.
Church Programs Welcome Students
Special programs for students are included in local church activities for Sunday. Student choirs will sing for the first time this semester at several of the morning worship services.
"Ways to Creative Living" will be the discussion topic of the University Sunday school class of the First Methodist church, 946 Vermont street, at 9:45 a.m. A student communion service will precede the regular fellowship meeting of the Wesley foundation at 6 p.m.

A student class will meet in the church at 1000 Kentucky street at 9:30 a.m "The Goal of Living" will be the serman topic of the morning worship service.

Kansas: Rain today, except snow or rain, extreme west. Colder with high temperature near 40 northwest to lower 60's southeast. Mostly cloudy tonight with light rain or light grizzle except south. Low temperatures 28 to 35 west and 40 to 45 extreme southeast.
Steam's On Th-th-thank Goodness
KU. students may have concluded this morning that it's really winter, but for final proof, ask the men at the power plant.
Today, for the first time in a hait year, the steam was turned on to provide heat for the buildings—and students—on the campus. Pressure, which was built up to 175 pounds this morning, was released into the two main steam pipes at 12:30 this afternoon. After the branch pipes leading to each building had been checked, steam heat was turned into them at 1 p.m.
And despite the feeling around the campus that this is an early winter, it isn't. On Sept. 28 last year, exactly a year ago today, the steam was turned on for the first time for that fall.
Orchestra Lists 75 Members
The University symphony will have 75 to 80 members this year, Russell L. Wiley, associate professor of band, said today.
Included in the orchestra's plans for the year are two formal concerts, appearances at convocations and the Christmas Vesper program, and the Music Week festival in the spring.
"Others may try out for orchestras during this week and next," Professor Wiley said. Two violas, two cellos, and a number of string basses are needed.
Wiley Lists Members
Those who have enrolled in the orchestra are:
Violins: Helen Pierson, Erwin Schnieder, Andres Kernick, Ruth Dudley, Joan Joseph, Joyce Glotzbach, Sue Lodgson, Lucille Stratton, Maxine Albury, and Frances Rickert.
Second Violins: Margaret Snodgrass, Richard Blehm, Vivian Reffer, Phara Rathburn, Ruth Ann Scott,

The Western Civilization reading room, 201 Fowler, and the adjoining offices of the proctors, will be ready for use the latter part of next week, Prof. Hilden Gibson, course director, announced today.
Women interested in singing in the University Women's Glee club during the coming semester may try out Monday and Tuesday from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in room 150 of Frank Strong hall, Miss Irene Peabody, director, announced today.
Program for the year has not been announced, but a trip to Ft. Leavenworth has been planned for the group, Miss Peabody said. Last year the club gave concerts in Topeka for the high school, Rotary club, at Winter General hospital, and at the army air base.
The glee club appears annually on the All-Musical Vesper programs presented by the School of Fine Arts and on convocation programs, as well as presenting a formal evening program in Hoch auditorium. It took part in the festival music week program last spring.
It was a long, hard ride out here by train last night, but the boys left Lawrence greatly heartened by the splendid turnout of students to give us a noisy send-off in the rain.
The reading room, which will contain copies of all books used in the course, is being planned as a study center for students enrolled in Western Civilization. The rooms were not ready at the beginning of the semester because of a delay in obtaining painters.
Denver, Colo., Sept. 28—We left Lawrence last night in a steady rain and found sleet and freezing weather here in Denver. Predictions are that it will warm up and clear off here today, so weather prospects for the game tonight aren't too bad.

From European colleges to the K.U. campus comes Miss Hugette Balzola, secretary for the World Student Service fund, to open the WSSF regional conference in Memorial Union at 11 am, tomorrow, Mrs. Christine Alford, Y. W. C. A. secretary, announced today.
Miss Balzola has lived in France, Spain and Mexico. She toured Europe last summer under the auspices of the WSSF. The WSSF conference, open to all University students, will discuss campus campaigns and drives to be held this year. Last year the WSSF drive was combined with the Community Chest. K. U. students gave $1,000 to the fund, which was distributed to students in China and other countries at war.
Miss Erva M. Moody and Miss Doris Greaves, regional secretaries of WSSF, will attend the conference. More than 50 delegates from Kansas colleges have registered for the conference, and representatives from every organized house on the campus will attend.
