Girard Claims Pressure From U. S. Military J Charges Pressure To Stand'Trial In Japanese Court WASHINGTON (UP)—American soldier William S. Girard said In an interview in Japan today U.S. military authorities have put pressure on him to stand trial in a Japanese court for slaying a Japanese woman on an Army firing range. But Girard flatly denied reports from Washington and his home town of Ottawa, Jil.. that he said his personal Army counsel in Japan also had argued that trial in a Japanese ’court would be an easy wav out. Girard, 21, a specialist 3-c, is accused of killing Mrs. Na k a Sakai while guarding a military firing range near Tokyo. She was struck in the back by an empty I cartridge fired from a grenade launcher on Girard’s rifle. Girard Claims Accidrnt The Japanese have charged that Girard enticed Mrs. Sakai, who was trying to pick up empty shells to sell for scrap, to within firing distance and then fired the fatal shot. Girard. claimed her death was accidental. An agreement to turn Girard over to a Japanese court for trial on manslaughter charges touched off an international controversy and his lawyers worked long past midnight in Washington today in an attempt to bring him back to the United States for a review of his case. f Reports that Girard claimed the Army and Maj. Stanley F. Levin, i his Army adviser, were putting pressure on him were made in Washington by a spokesman for his attorney, Earl Carroll, and in Ottawa by the soldier's brother, Louis. f “Bill Girard told his brother he had been advised by his Armyappointed adviser Major Levin that he should go before a Japanese court because if he didn’t he would get a very stiff sentence froin the United States under an i Army court-martial,” John Griffin, Carroll’s spokesman, said in Washington. Makes Tape Recording ' Louis Girard said he talked to his brother by telephone Wednesday and that the soldier distinctly answered “yes” to a question i about whether Levin was attempting to persuade him to face a ; Japanese court. Furthermore, Louis Girard said, he made a tape recording of the transpacific telephone conversation to prove the statements. But Girard later told the United Press in Japan that Levin had not tried to lure him into a Japanese court. “Major Levin has been a good i friend to me and I can’t think of anyone else who could do a better job or take his place," Girard told ■ a U P. reporter. Levin also denied he tried to put i pressure on Girard. Investigation Pushed Confusion over what Girard had said arose amid these developments: —Rep. Omar Burleson <D-Tex.), chairman of a House Foreign Affairs Committee, said he would call in Defense Department counsel Robert Dechert and officials of the State Department in an investigation of the Girard case. Burleson said he would question Dechert as soon as possible about his reported statements that evidence gathered by the U.S. government made it “appear” Girard enticed Mrs. Sakai. —Hidetsuga Onozeki, a 29-year-old Japanese farmer who witnessed the Jan. 30 incident, told the United Press a man he later identified as Girard threw shell casings in front of him and Mrs. Sakai and told the woman in Japanese, “Here is much brass.” The Bth Army has denied that it tried to put pressure on Girard. “On the contrary,” an Army spokesman said in Tokyo, “the Army ha,s been giving him fair and impartial advice with a view to protecting his interests at all times.” MORE STORMS (Contlwned from Pave One) at Evansville.

The total number of those who were liquidated by our security forces numbers 800,00. This is the figure up to 1954. “Since then we are no longer using methods of terror. Instead we have substituted persuasion and education. If one persists in using the methods of-terror in solving internal antagonisms, it may lead to transformation of these antagonisms into antagonisms of the na-tion-enemy type, as happened in [Hungary.”
