nothing less than fortune telling. All of this is done for a price and with frequent mention ‘of the Bible. Persons of all walks of life, all levels of intelligence, prosperous and less prosperous and from all parts of the city consult the, mediums, she learned. They are by no means only the poor and underprivileged. However, Miss Mikels discovered that those who seek readings are usually in deep distress because of a death in the family, or because of pressure from an imminent crisis or other domestic problems. Rapid Growth Since July, when Miss Mikels began her survey of black art in the city—but before its results were published—she estimates that the number of “churches” practicing it have tripled. The attending congregations seem for the most part to have belonged to established churches, she said. She deplored the laxness of Indiana law which permits three persons by paying a fee of $6.50 and filling in a routine questionnaire] to inaugurate a church, ordain its ministers and conduct services. She related the story of an intelligent family which almost suffocated with .closed windows last summer. They were afraid to open them because the woman next door was supposed *to be “hexed” by snake powder placed on her window sill by her angry husband. The family in the adjoining house feared it might blow their way. ‘Yearning for God’ Devil's shoestrings, black candles, powdered beetle and other objects used in the practice of the black art were described by Miss Mikels. She told how many people who consult the mediums only half believe—then return, finally becoming enmeshed and under the spell. Dr. Smith struck a note of faith y ‘recalling that Old Testament characters and the cliff dwellers of America, alike, were superstitious. “Religion begins in a primitive fashion, in superstition and magic,” he said. “Religion’s purpose is to. find God. The black candles are a denial of God. “The war has left many mourners in its train and there is money, also, to be spent for entertainment and such things as black magic.” Dr, Martin sees in the whole picture of black art in Indianapolis the deep yearning of the human heart for God and proof that “man

British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin was on record as violently opposed to the commission proposal. It was considered possible that the new Russian charges would bar any evasive compromise by the council Some observers had looked for a compromise until the Dutch and Indonesians have conferred on a new Dutch proposal offering selfgovernment to Indonesia. The Russians were pressing hard for appointment of a UNO commission to investigate the situation in Java, where Soviet Delegate Andrei Vishinsky claimed there was danger of a spark which might set off another world war.

written ballot With two-thirds or more of the members concurring. Homma, who speaks English’ fluently, listened intently as Gen. Donovan read the verdict, Although he had wept three times when defense witnesses described him as kindhearted ' and a peace-maker he showed no emotion as he heard the death sentence pronounced. Homma glanced about the court room and then thanked the commission for the “courteous ways of the people who conducted the trial” He was escorted immediately back to prison. Subject to Review The conviction and sentence, as in the case of Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, who previously was sentenced to death by hanging for war crimes in the Philippines, are subject to review by Lt. Gen. W. D. Styer, commander of Western Pacific forces. If Gen. Styer concurs in the death penalty he must pass the case on to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, supreme allied commander, for final approval. Gen. MacArthur gave his final approval last week to the sentence for Yamashita, who succeedec Homma as Japanese commander in the Philippines and was convicted of responsibility for more than 60,000 atrocity deaths. Maj. A. C. Tisdelle, who was on Bataan, was among the courtroom spectators when the sentence was announced.

same grounds as that of Yamashita, was en route here when the Yamashita decision was announced. The court heard no arguments In Homma's case. The Homma petitions—airmailed here from Manila—sought writs of habeas corpus and prohibition similar to those asked by Yamashita. The court denied Homma's appeal on the authority of its ruling rejecting Yamashita's case. Justices Wiley: B. Rutledge and Frank Murphy, who dissented in the Yamashita case, again disagreed in brief minority opinions. Justice Murphy said either a trial such as this must be conducted in the “noble spirit of our constitution” or else “we abandon all pretense to justice, let ‘the ages slip away and descend to the level of revengeful blood purges.” “Apparently the die has been cast | in favor of the latter course. But I, for one, shall have no part in it, not even through silent acquiescence,” he added. The executions of Yamashita and Homma, Justice Murphy declared, open the way for “a procession of judicial lynchings without due process of law.” Both Mr. Murphy and Mr. Rut{ledge objected to military trial procedure which they said permitted the use of forced confessions and mass offenses as evidence. | Justice Rutledge noted that the {30 days given for preparation: of Yamashita’s case was cut to 15 days {for Homma, | Military law experts said death {before a firing squad was the usual | means of execution in cases like | Homma's.
