Douglas Brown, pro fessor of economics and director of the industrial relations section of Princeton University, has been named dean of the Princeton fac ulty. Dr. Harold W. Dodds, Uni versity president, announced today. Two Hits ,pne of the P-47 Thunderbolts of the 1st Air Force Fighter Command scores two hits on the target in the skip bombing event during the recent Aerial Gunnery and Bombing meet. At the time the picture was made the plane was going over 300 m. p. h. In this type of bombing, a long approach at almost ground level enables the pilot to place his bombs with uncanny accuracy. JAPANESE DRIVEN TO CANNIBALISM By ELMONT WAITE GUAM,‘March 9.—(d3)—.(Delayed) —at least one small isolated group of Japanese hiding on this island was driven to murder and cannibalism when other food had long since been exhausted, accord ing to records on file in legal de partment of Major. Gen. Henry L. Larsen, island commander. All information on the murder and subsequent butchering and eating of a Japanese civilian fugi tive and his twelve-year old son was volunteered, the general’s staff related, first verbally and later in the form of signed state ments after several of the canni balistic group had surrendered. Lieutenant Colonel Bernard S. Barron, New York attorney now legal officer for the island com mand, said the question of court martial trial for the offending pris oners is not y.et settled. Two men may be tried, he said, but both are prisoners of war, under in ternational law Spain (representing Japan) would have to be notified and have an opportunity to be re presented. -»-V— Nothing is going to feel bet ter and look worse than last year’s old straw hat. “FIREPROOF” CREAM A “fireproof” cream has been developed for soldiers using ba zookas and flamethrowers, as well as for tank crews, which provides a fireproof protection for exposed parts of the soldier’s body.

At Idaho Camp RUPERT, Idaho, April 21.—05)— Bread and water diet and outdoor sleeping quarters were in order today for approximately half of the more than 500 Germans held at the prisoner of war camp here. Army authorities said the dis ciplinary action was ordered when 258 privates refused to work in southern Idaho pea fields along side non-commissioned officers. Later 35 others were added be :ause of a “sullen” attitude and , :heir lack of interest in their work. The actioh was announced at Fort Douglas, Utah, by Lt. Col. Eugene D. Mullins, public rela tions officer of the ninth service command, who said the order' would be effective until the situa tion was corrected. -V Army Air Force pilots have de stroyed more than 27,000 enemy planes since Pearl Harbor, at a cost of little more than 7700 Amer ican plaaes destroyed in combat and 400 on the ground.
