"Our flyers who attacked Toxic

that they did so with remarkable
accuracy" Secretary Stimson said.

vention governing the conduct OF
war and we expect our enemies to
do the same.
"We are very loath to believe
Japan is going to violate those

Suggests Some Flyers Were Forced
Down After Leaving Jopon

inous step today along a course
which, although still obscure, might
lead toward Axis reputation Of the
accepted laws of humanity in war
fare under the pretext that the Al
lies first violated the codes.
The Berlin radio gave circulation
to statements attributed to the semi
official German commentary
Deutsche Diplomatisch Politische
Korrespondenz, that Germany, Italy
and Japan have proof that on the
enemy side formal orders were given
for warfare contrary to humanity
The statement added the threat:
"The day will come eventually when
those responsible will be called to
account for their actions"
This outburst followed Japan's
assertion that captured American
airmen would be. punished for in
humanities during bomb raids on
Japanese soil and German charges
that the British attacked a dressing
station for wounded on the North
African front.
Reuters quoted a Vichy broadcast
of dispatches from Stockholm as re-
porting that Germany and her asso-
ciates had conferred on plans to
denounce the Geneva Convention
agreements on Red Cross and war
prisoners on the grounds that the
1864 convention had been violated
by the United Nations.
Referring to the Japanese action
against American flyers, the Ger
man diplomatic commentary de-
clared:
Although attacks contrary to in
ternational law against peaceful
residential quarters, places of cul-
ture and hospitals - must be
considered as serious, these attacks
are not and were not acts COM
mitted arbitrarily by some individ-
uals. Public statements made by
British Air Marshal Harris and
United States Air Gen. Eaker clearly
reveal that those responsible for it
in London and Washington not only
approve of such acts, but that they
have given special orders against
German children and women"

pounds of scrap collected in the
stores various departments has
been disposed Of: Austin Donaldson,
store manager at Lansburghs, says
his company has already turned in
more than 10 tons and is now dis
mantling steel-frame roof top sign
which will weigh approximately one
ton; Ed Luehrman, building SUPER
jntendent at Hecht's, reveals that
the stores original accumulation of
9,150 pounds was picked up in the
September 27 blitz drive through the
western half of the District. He says
that Hecht's will send about 800
pounds more to the Municipal Park
ing lot during the heavy" drive.
Alan Goldenberg, store manager
of Goldenberg's says that 16,500-
pound collection, dominated by ra-
diators and fans, already has gone
to the District collection and will be
followed by approximately 1000
pounds more during the next few
days.
William Friel of Kann's reports
the store disposed Of one scrap lot
of 4,500 pounds, a second weighing
1900 pounds and will contribute, as
soon as dismantling operations can
start, two water tanks weighing 10
tons.
Thomas j. Smoot, superintendent
at Sears-Roebuck, says that the
store has collected several thou
sand pounds" of scrap.
Roland H. Herman, store manager
at L. Frank Co., reports that almost
a ton Of scrap was disposed of dur
ing the drive through the western
half of the city. The collection in
cluded iron pipe, radiator covers
aluminium ref1ectors, lead wire COW
ering, brass fittings and metal door
brackets.
And we're still looking for scrap"
he adds.
At Philipsborn, r. E Weissman
store manager, says the company
gave up two water basins weighing
approximately 500 pounds each and
now has collected 1000 pounds of
additional scrap, including stamping
machines, water cup holders, park
ing signs, pipe and store fixtures.
Salvage chiefs agree the depart
ment stores have done a remarkable
salvage job, but their best efforts
may not show in the heavy" drive
because most Of the metal has al
ready found its way to the pro-
cessing plants.
