Agreement 10 Punish
War Crimes Turned
10 Propaganda Use
Announcement Broadcast
In Scores Of Tongues
By British Rodio
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct. Britain
quickly put the agreement with,
the United States on postwar
punishment of war criminals
into action as a propaganda
weapon today, broadcasting the
full announcement in a score of
languages to the peoples of Eu-
rope, Africa and Asia.
I President Roosevelt in Washing
ton and Viscount Simon in London
announced yesterday plans for a
United Nations commission to fix
the guilt of crimes against civilian
populations.
The agreement was greeted with
much satisfaction in British quar-
tiers. chiefly as sign of Allied con-
currence on policy on which to
base appeals both to the subju-
gated nations to keep up resistance
to the Axis and to Germans and
Italians themselves to overthrow
their warlords.
Some Britons were pleased also
by the implication to belligerents
and neutrals that the war can end
only with the surrender or destruc-
ton of those Nazis and Fascist war
lords and Quislings who might hold
lingering hopes for a negotiated
peace.
The vagueness of Allied policy
toward the German and Italian
people as distinct from the Nazi
and Fascist leaders had been the
source of repeated complaints by
the British press and by Parlia-
ment.
Irritation had grown in some
quarters particularly over the use to
which Nazi Propaganda Minister
Goebbels was putting some British
utterances to convince the Germans
that their defeat would mean
slavery and death for them.

figure. if finally officially sub.

very slow as result of sniper fire,
when he stopped to fire shot with
the cannon. 1t was my job to handle
the radio and load the cannon.
I'VE were firing at pill box a
couple of hundred yards away when
I heard our tank commander yell
and fire his As up through the turret.

They were making lot of noise
and after looking out again 1 found
that some one was firing at them.
I got up next to the sergeant who
was guarding the turret, and one
OF the Japs stuck his head down
inside the turret. I know one of
them would sooner or later, and was
ready for him. I shot him right |
between the eyes.
About this time the tank com.
nander ordered the driver to move
up the beach. The tank jumped
ahead few feet and we realized
that they had put brace between
the wheels. I poked a submachine /
gun outside the tank and started |
firing, but they cleared away.
Suddenly there was a terrific |
explosion and saw the tank COM

they must have thrown a grenade
down the turret. A. few moments
later they set fire to the tank. The

to get outside the tank and get
shot rather than burn to death. So
the driver poked his head outside
the front hatch. They shot him.
Il figured it was better to go out
feet first. So I piled out the tank
and one of them helped me along.
I remember one of them climbed on
my back and started walloping my
head They were banging me all
around the place and I was bleeding
and every one of them was trying
either to kick me, punch me or knife

While Moore's tank was under

"After I was brought back to the
