war crimes commission. His departure was one of a swift series of events clearing the way for the mass trials of axis war criminals at Nuernberg. Allied officials were conferring at Berlin on plans for the trials, The first formal indictments were expected to be re-| turned Tuesday or Wednesday. Hess was driven to Madeley air

field in a closed army car with drawn blinds. Unshaven, impassive and looking ill, he wore gray civilian clothes and a gray sooch hat. Only a few royal air force men saw the plane take off. An R, A.

Yanks Surround - Ministry . Building Containing ‘Precious Metal.’

By FRANK TREMAINE United Press Staff Correspondent

TOKYO, Oct. 8—Armed guards of the 1st cavalry division tonight surrounded the Japanese navy ministry after U:. 8. officials said hoards of loot from Japan's lost empire might be stored in official government buildings. A terse announcement said merely U. 8. officials had learned that “precious metal,” presumably stolen in Japan's year of military conquest, was in the navy ministry

Many political observers took the point of view of the newspaper Asahi which pointed out that the 13-year-old Shidehara and his appointees “belong to the category of old-timers,” However, it was stressed in other guarters that the cabinet lineup was considerably more liberal than the outgoing cabinet of Prince HigashiKuni and was the “best possible when restrictions against including government leaders of the past 10 years were considered.” Condemned by Socialists Hardly’ had the names of the new ministers been announced, however, than the organizing committee of the new Japanese Soclalist party condemned them as “incapable of solving urgent problems.” “The Japanese people have been surprised at the emergence of a

Mr. Sinclair declared it was determined after considering needs of the agencies and the general employment situation here since V-J day. “We feel that the goal is a fair request to make of the people,” Mr. Sinclair added. “But, it will require hard work on the part of the workers and gifts equal to or greater than those of last year.” Report Wednesday Workers were spurred by early reports from the special gifts division which has received precampaign pledges of $144,602.

Light Frost May Damage Tomatoes Slightly.

A mass of cold air has moved in from the northwest and will send temperatures down to as low as 30 to 35 degrees tonight, with light frost predicted. Two light frosts last week caused slight damage to tomatoes but no severe damage to other crops, Horace E. Abbott, county agricul tural agent, said today. Accumulative frosts would kill tomato crops but one light one will cause no more than slight harm to the large Hoosier crop. Mr. Abbott said that corn was helped by the frosts last week and is now beyond damage from adverse weather conditions, Forecasters predicted a break sometime tomorrow in the cold spell which is affecting Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana.
