Allies Trap
 More Nozi, Jap Leaders
By JACK FLEISCHER

Seventh Army Headquarters May 12 - U.P0 - Three more minis ters in Adolf Hitler's government and 130 Japanese diplomatic per- sonnel, including Ambassador Gen. eral Hiroshi Oshima, were in Seven tn Army custody today.
 Between 15O and 200 top Nazi government officials were rounded up by Seventh Army patrols SCOUT ing Austrian and Bavarian villages. In the latest batch were:
 Dr. Walther Funk, minister of economies and president of the Reichsbank; Dr. Hans Heinrich Hammers, chief of Hitler's Reichs- chancellery, minister without port folio and an SS general, and Dr. Wllelm Ohnesorge, post minister.
 Besides Oshima, Japanese caught in the Seventh Army net were the ambassador wife, Lieutenant Gen. eral Mitsuhiko Komatsu, military attache to the Berlin embassy; Ma jor General Osamu Otani and YoSh- icada Michima of the foreign office i; Mideo Jojima, naval attache, and four newspapermen.
 The Japanese party included en- bassy staff members and personnel from Berlin, France, Italy and the consulate-general at Vienna. They had moved to southern Germany from Berlin at the suggestion of the Hitler government.
 Reichssmarshall Hermann Goer- ing, the Seventh Army's prize catch to date, told Allied neWsmen at a second press conference yesterday that Hitler personally was respon- Sible for atrocities committed at concentration camps at Buchen- wald, Dachau and elsewhere.
 He said Heinrich Himmler's S.S was in charge of the camps and carried out orders directly from the Fuehrer."
 Other German state departments and authorities were poWerless to interfere with the orders, Goering said.
 He said he didn't know what Hit Ter expected to gain from the bru- talities practiced at the camps. For a long time, Goering said. he and other Germans had dismissed re- ports about the camps as Allied propaganda.
 T was greatly surprised when I learned the facts" he said.

Yonks Train ChineseArmv

San franclSco, May 12-(UP)-A virtually new Chinese army is be- ing trained by American officers and the United States can count on eff fective, important aid from China ir the final destruction of Japan, Dean Carl w. Alderman of Colum- bia university's graduate school of journalism said today.
 Alderman has just returned to 2ae United States by way of the Pacific after round-th world trio as a member of a three-man com mittee appointed by the American Society of Newspaper Editors to discuss free international exchange of news with foreign newspaper editors and government officials.
 Our forces in the Pacific" Ack- erman said, "are going to be rein- forced by new Chinese army. The Chinese, in cooperation with our military men are creating new army. visited one division which had been trained by American and Chinese officers. Its men had new uniforms, new weapons and new equipment. It was modern in ev- cry detail.
 T am confident that the Chinese will help us forge a giant pincers around Japan and crush the en- emy."
 He cited these points as the key to the eventual defeat of Japan:
 1. General Douglas MacArthur's army has gained experience in war fare against Japan. It knows Jap anese strength, Japanese tricks, Japanese deception and is beating them on every score because of our experienced leadership and might.
 2. Japan is now conducting two kinds of warfare-defense and hara kiri and we will defeat Japan be- fore the nation has time to commit national hara kiri."
 3. American air and sea power Is literally stupendous and "as this is concentrated day by day on military objectives, Japan as a world power will gradually cease to exist"

Coscia Jury Polling Gets Under1uayMay22

No change in the assignment ot the Domenic Coscia murder triaI mas been made, despite indications of possible delay, and counse. are preparing to start polling of 8 jury on Tuesday, May 2. Coscia is charged with first degree murder in the staying of his brother Jaw Adolph Cyr, last Sept 28 at their Washington avenue home.
 No action has been taken as yet on the defense motion for securing a special Italian interpreter, and it is understood that no agreement on selection of an interpreter has been reached by counsel
 The problem of filling the job is expected to be presented to the court sometime next week or on the day the jury polling starts. Since the polling work will take at least two weeks time, the lack of an inter- porter at the present time is not be- lleved to be a serious hindrance to start of the trial,
 Names of 175 jurors have been drawn in connection with the poll ing. Only a portion of the total number of veniremen, however, will be required to appear on the first day, with a specific number. agreed upon by counsel, to be called for on subsequent days.
 A question has arisen as to whether or not a civil action now on trial in superior court will end by May p. The litigation, the Sl10,000 action of four Stratford residents against the City of Water bury, will be on trial all of next week and may go into the following week, counsel have indicated. Ar may be made, however, to conduct the civil trial an extra day, on Friday.
 Three civil actions have been assigned to follow the case now on trial, but because of the criminal trial they may be delayed beyond the present court term.
 The suits are: the $20,00O action of Irene and Hanch Murteza of Waterbury agatr,st Edwafa r. Grady, doing business as the Yellow Cab Co; the $1O000 action brought by Edward Thompson of Waterbury against the City of Waterbury as the result of a fall on Hamilton avenue; and the $3 500 insurance &C.,

Some troops urgently needed in the Pacific will go there directly from Europe. Many units of serv- ice forces already had been trans ferred to the Pacific theater.
 Here at home the demobilization process gets underway today with the discharge under the point sys- tenn of nearly 2,500 combat veterans already in the country.
 First of some 100000 men to be released under the point-system during the next 12 months, the men who are trading their khaki for civ- vies are battle veterans from all theaters brought home for rest and recuperation before VIE Day.
 The men leaving the Army today will be released from IT special sep aration centers where the final process of winding up G. I. life is carried out.
 The discharged men have high point scores based on total length of Army service, overseas service. combat awards, battle honors and parenthood-the four factors mak- ing a man eligible for discharge. A G. I. now is eligible if he has e5 points, providing he can be re- placed.
 It will take year for all 1,30O,- GOO men to be discharged under the point system to get out of the Army. Those in Europe must wait for transportation, on which sol- diers needed in the Pacific, wounded men and released prisoners, will have first call.
 Those in the Pacific with enough points for discharge and not essen tial to the war with Japan will have to wait longer-until replacement. arrive from Europe and the United States
 Moet of the men leaving Europe will come directly to the United States. About half of them will then be redeployed to the Pacific The other half will be discharged.
 The Army is speeding up the job of providing transport, mindful Of repeated promises to bring the boy, home as quickly as possible.
 Although no points toward dis charge can be earned after May 12, some soldiers whose point scores are below 85 may become eligible when the Army revises it's critical scores,' downward. This will be done after it finds out how many will actually leave the service under the 85-point total.
 In addition Gen. Dwight D. Eis- enhoWer promised yesterday that no American troops who served in both the North African and Euro pean campaign would have to figh. any more. If they haven't enough l points to get out, Eisenhower said, they should be retained in the European theater for the Army of Occupation as they should not be required to fight another cam paign."

Dakeshi Captured


 It. Gen. Simon B. Buckner, com- mander of the 10th Army, told newsmen that the offensive was mo pickets charge, but rather a push Pacific style-a coordinated continuation of local offensives that have been going on since the last push April 19
 The first marine division seized the inland village of Dakeshi, north east of Mana. The 77th Army div ision deeper inland won high ground overlookig Shuri, second largest town on Okinawa, in a costly ad- vance of several hundred yards.
 On the east coast. the 96th Div ision fought closer to Conical Hill, key Japanese defense position shielding the port of Yonabaru
 The sixth marine division challed up the days biggest gain yester- day with an advance to within 200 yards of Naha on the west coast. Striking south from the Asa River Estuary, the marines fought 800 yards uphill.
 Naha itself was a smoking ruin, flattened by concentrated naval and air bombardnnent. Its streets appeared deserted, though its last known population was more than SC, GOO.
 The 10th Army's general offen- sive was launched at ' a. m. yes- terday after a terrific naval, air and artillery bombardment.
 The previous night, Japanese troops attempted large-scale infil- tration of the American lines. All who penetrated the lines were kill led. A communique announced that an additional 612 Japanese bo- dies had been counted, boosting the total number of japanese killed in the Okinawa campaign to 39,469.
 No few figures were announced for American ground casualties, but Admiral Chester W. Ninitz report ed an additional 1902 naval casual ties for the past week.

The Ameri- can Third army had taken Opinal, and if it moves just five miles or so farther south there will be no road whereby we could slip into Voges and so down to the Rhine plain.
 About the middle of the miserable night I discovered the sergeant in charge of the guard studying dili- gently from a pocket size English German dictionary.
 I succeeded in supplementing my libracy-which consisted to date of Baron Won Richthofen's autobio- graphy in German-with Oliver Twist and the last of the Mohicans in French. The latter ought to last me long time because I don't have the reading facility in French I do in Germany.

Soviet, France Agree
To Include Younger
'Krupp in Nazi Trials
By the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
NUREMBERG, Nov. 14.-French
and Soviet prosecutors reversed
themselves today and voted In
favor of a United States pro-
posal to substitute Alfred Krupp
for his father, ailing Gustav
Krupp Won Bohlen und Halbach,
as a defendant in the forthcom-
ing war crimes trials.
At the same time Justice Robert
H. Jackson, American prosecutor
recommended a 12-day postpone
ment of the trials until December 2.
The trials are scheduled to open
November 20. The motions were
heard today in the first public ses-
sion of the court.
The British prosecutor, Sir David
Maxwell Fyfe, has opposed the sub
stitution, holding that the elder
Krupp should be tried in absentia
He also opposed any delay in the
opening of the trials.
Medical Report Studied.
The French and Soviet decision
came after unanimous report
from medical commission that the
aged krupp had "senile softening
OF the brain," and would never be
able to face trial. He is believed
near death.
Justice Jackson filed motion with
the International Military Tribunal
yesterday requesting that Alfred
who took over active management
lot the huge Krupp arsenal empire
in l943, be tried in place of his
father. He is under arrest by the
British.
The court session was attended
by all key personnel except the
Soviet prosecutor, who telephoneo
from Moscow his reversal of his
previous stand. At two previous
meetings of the prosecutors the
American proposal to include the
Younger Krupp as a defendant was
defeated by 3-to-1 vote.
Request Changed.
The judges filed into the trial
room promptly at 1880 am. The
elder Krupp's black-robed attorney
at once asked permission to change
his pretrial form request for a
continuance to a request for an out
right dismissal, because of his
clients critical condition.
The court adjourned after a hear
ing of almost two hours without fix
ing a definite date for another
session.
The Krupp family attorney, who
pleaded eloquently for dismissal OF
the case against the 75-year-old
armament king, served notice that
substitution of Alfred as a de-
fendant would lead to a defense
request for 30-day delay between
filing of the indictment and opening
of the trial.
