October 10: The HUC sent out the results of its ROTC research in a fact-sheet circulated in the Houses. The HUC fact-sheet included statements by Army ROTC commander Colonel Pell, who said that the "hard core national interest" would suffer if discrediting ROTC became "a frivolous campus game...
...food is tasteless, monotonous and contains hardly any vitamins," the letter said. "Although we cannot really speak of constant hunger"-the maximum daily ration is 2,413 calories, mostly starch-"constant vitamin hunger is an indisputable fact. It is no accident that in the camps so many people suffer from stomach ailments." Food parcels are forbidden, the men said, and even in the kiosks, where they can buy five rubles' worth of goods a month, "buying green vegetables or other produce containing vitamins is impossible.

They would not lose much more than $2 billion of their current $9 billion-a-year military aircraft business, and they might lose a great deal less. Textile and boot manufacturers would suffer, and so-to a lesser extent-would electronics companies, airlines and railroads. The prospects are that war-aggravated inflation would continue, at least for a short period. Many cost increases are programmed into the economy, among them a scheduled 9% pay raise for nearly 3,000,000 federal employees next...
