BY WILLIAM f. LOWELL

WASHINGTON, July 7 Up
- Repatriation of sick an d
wounded Americans held pris-
oners of war by Japan is under
discussion with Tokyo, Senator
Thomas (D-Utah) disclosed to-
day. The discussions - without
result as yet - are being con-
duced through the Swiss govern
ment.
Japan has refused thus far TO
repatriate military prisoners or
any of the non-military construc-
ton workers captured on Guam
and Wake, said Thomas, chair
man of a Senate Foreign Rela-
tons subcommittee.
Quoting a letter from SeCre-
tary of State Hull, Thomas told
reporter 1919 American pris-
oners of war were held by ia
pan on May 25 and on May %
there were 5,543 civilians held
by the Tokyo government ac-
cording to, reports from repre-
sentatives Of the Swiss govern
ment and the International Red
Cross.
Military intelligence, Hull
said, reports only 17,175 war
prisoners held by Japan, but that
figures takes into account UNI
officially reported deaths in the
Philippines. The Provost Mar
shall General, he added, advises
that approximately 1000 civil
ian internecs have been report
ed.
Hull's letter spoke only Of re-
turning home Americans held
by Japan; the question of an cX-
change (the United States hold
comparatively few j p n e
prisoners Of war; was not treat
ed in it.
Some progress has been made
in furnishing food, medical sup
plies and clothing for the inn
prisoned Americans, T h m a S
said. About 5000 tons Of sup
plies have been sent in the cx-
change ships and information
has been received that it was
properly delivered. -
The japanese, he said, offer
cd TO send ship at regular in
tervals TO Vladivostok, Russia,
for additional supplies but the
Russians baked at allowing the
Japanese, TO enter that port and
suggested two others. Japan has
the alternate proposal under con-
sideration.

PITTSFIELD, Mass, July 7
(P-The Commonwealth was
expected today to ask for sent
ence of death in the electric
chair for John F. Noxon, Jr., At
year-oid corporation lawyer,
who was convicted last night Of
murder in the first degree in the
electrocution of his six-months'
old mentally deficient son.
A Berkshire county jury,
which had sat through five
weeks of trial, deliberated less
than five hours before deciding
that the prominent attorney had
taken his child's life in the Ii
brary of the Noxon home last
September %, with deliberate
generalization and malice afore-
thought"
The jury came into the court
room at 625 p. m. (EWT), and
within three minutes delivered
its verdict and walked out
again. y
In Massachusetts,, the death
penalty is mandatory for first
degree murder, but it was not
known whether Judge Abraham
E. Pinanski would pass sentence
Immediately.
1t was expected that defense
counsel, headed by former Mas
sachusetts governor Joseph 3.
Ely, would enter an appeal bas-
ed upon the numerous excep-
tons taken during the trial.
In such an event the court
could impose sentence and at
the same time stay its execution
pending the outcome Of the APP
peal before the supreme court.
From all outward appear
ances, the calmnest person in the
hot courtroom when the verdict
was announced was Noxon him
self. His expression changed
not the slightest.
Ely held his head in his hand
momentarily, and district attor-
ney Charles r. Alberti also
seemed i'll at ease as, in low
voice, he addressed the court.
81 believe it becomes my duty
to move for sentence" he said.
When Judge Pinanski in
ouired if that was what the
prosecutor wanted to do, Alder
