colleagues was presented to the Far East international military tribunal by Chief Prosecutor Joseph B.

Mr. Keenan said the number of deferidants was limited to improve handling the case. The omission of any name from the indictment does not imply that the individual has been exonerated, he added. Included on List
Indictments were returned against two of the men who signed Japan's surrender in Tokyo bay last September. They were former Foreign Minister Mamoru Shigemitsu and former Chief Army General Staff General Ygshijiro Umezu. Their names were included on the list at tie request of the Russians. Half the suspected criminals indicted were accused of aggression against the Soviet Union, In 1036, the indictment charged, the Japanese organized and supported large numbers of Russian emigrants who were hostile to the Soviet Union. Two years later, the indictment alleged, Japan, “without declaring war, attacked the territory of the Soviet Union at Lake Khasan.” Marshal of Court Fourteen defendants were accused of waging war against Russia and the Mongolian people's republic in 1939 when Japan was said to have attacked at the Chackhin-Fol river. Marshal of the war crimes court Capt. D. S. Van Meter was instrulted to begin serving the indictments. He was expected to take them to Sugamo prison tonight and hand the documents personally to the accused.
