Captured Court Records Prove

Japs Executed 3 Tokyo Fliers

(Continued From Page One)

beri beri and dysentery, The remaining four of the eight Doolittle fliers captured by the Japanese were liberated last month and three already have been flown back to the United States. : The court-martial records revealed that all eight fliers originally were sentenced to death, though the sentences of all but three subsequently were commuted to life imprisonment. : The records bear the signatures of the four chief Japanese officers who participated in what was little more than a mock trial. They have been placed on top of the American war crimes list in the Shanghal area for submission to the Chinese for action. The wanted officers are: Lt. Col. Makajo, presiding judge; 1st Lt. Wamithu Yusei, associate judge; 2d Lt. Okada Ryukei, associate judge, and Maj. Hata Itsuro, trial prosecutor. Special Punishment The court record gave the lie to Japanese claims that they did not impose special punishment on air crews. It specifically stated that the eight airmen were being tried “under their portion of the military regulations which comes under enemy plane crews.” The proceedings lasted only a half hour and consisted merely of a recital of the provisions of the military regulations under which the fliers were arraigned. The trial was conducted entirely in Japanese. The official account of the proceedings also emphasized: that the airmen “under provisions of article 3 of the military regulations must be punished as written in the text.” It. then listed all eight men and said they were “hereby sentenced to death.” No explanation was given for the subsequent commutation of five of the sentences. Following the execution, the bodies of the three men shot to death were sent to a crematorium

[Their ashes later were turned over

to the International Red Cross by the commander of the Woosung war prisoner camp with the expla~ nation that they were the “remains of prisoners who died” in the camp. The fliers whose sentences were, commuted never were certain of the fate of their companions and no irrefutable evidence of the executions was available before the discovery of the court-martial records. , Japanese propaganda broadcasts in late 1942 and 1943 referred vaguely to the execution of “several” of the Doolittle airnven, but never gave any dates or names. However, the U. S. state department protested to Tokyo on the basis of the broadcasts and the late President Roosevelt denounced the executions as outright murder. He said it would make the American people “more determined than ever to blot out the shameless militarism of Japan.”

Both the United States and Britain still were adamant in their refusal to recognize the new Romanjan and Bulgarian governments on grounds they were dominated by Communists, but the American gesture toward Hungary may portend

These old-timers are in positions of power in the local unions, with an influence far. greater than their actual numbers. Secondary Leadership International officers of the C. I. O. United Automobile Workers— President R. J, Thomas, SecretaryTreasurer George Addes, and vice presidents Walter Reuther and Richard T. Prankensteen—are not wholly the parents of the pay-boost drive. There is militant secondary leadership organized into a committee of local union presidents headed by Matthew Hammond, which is continually pressuring the “big four” to better the conditions of the union membership in general. The automobile union is not like such an organization as the United Mine Workers, in which one man, John L. Lewis, has no serious rivalry for the top position. In the U. A.

FOR NOTE AGAINST ~ FRANCO REVEALED

(Continued From Page One)

1945, .to Norman Armour, then about to leave for Madrid to become the new American ambassa~ dor to Spain, The letter was released today by the state department after the question of U, S. policy toward Spain was raised at the press conference of Acting Secretary of State Dean Acheson. Publication came two days after Soviet Charge D’affaires Nikolai Novikoy called for the trial of Franco as a war criminal, The Roosevelt letter began with the assertion that the late Presi dent wanted to- give Armour a “frank statement” of his views on Spain. , Release of the letter now was taken to indicate that President Truman agrees wholeheartedly with the policy then set forth. The letter recalled that Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany had helped Franco to power and that the Franco regime was patterened along totalitarian lines. “Most certainly we do not forget Spain's official position with and assistance to our axis enemies at a time when the fortunes of war were less favorable to us,” Mr. Roosevelt told Armour, “The fact that our government maintains formal diplomatic relations with the present Spanish regime should not be interpreted by anyone to imply approval of that regime. “Our victory over Germany will carry with it the extermination of Nazi and similar ideologies.”

A new two-wheeler was the first thing Wayne asked for when he regained consciousness at City hospital, where he was taken following the tragedy last month. “Sure, you can have that bicycle, son , . . anything you want” replied his mother, Mrs, Cecil Turpin, 2709 Shelby st., as she waited tearfully at his bedside. From that time on, nothing could stop Wayne, not even the delicate grafting process that peeled skin from his thighs and stomach to cover scorched portions of his head and shoulders.
