GeperoI Who Once Threatened
Captured Flyers Gets Post
Gen. Higoshi-Kuni
Had Long Career
In Imperial Army
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Gen. Prince Naruhiko Higashi-
Kuni, designated by Emperor
Hirohito to form a new Japanese
cabinet, was once quoted by the
Tokyo radio as declaring that
any Allied airmen captured in
raids on Japanese territory
should be subject to trial and
punishment, including the death
penalty, it was recalled today.
This broadcast was made In Octo-
ber. 1912, and specified not only
Allied airmen raiding Japan proper,
but also those forced down over
Manchuria or any other Japanese
controlled territory.
Prince Higashi-Kuni is 81 years
old, holds the rank of general and
has been supreme war councillor
since 1910. He is the head of one of
the collateral branches of the royal
family, and in 1941 was named chief
OF general headquarters for home
defense.
His eldest son, Prince Morohiro,
married the eldest daughter of En-
peror Hirohito, the Princess Teru,
in 1943.
The Princes announcement re-
garding Allied airmen followed
Tokyo's disclosure that heavy pun
ishment" had been dealt to Ameri-
can flyers WHO, the Japanese said,
had been captured in the famous
Doolittle raid on Tokyo April 18,
1912.
Ninth son of the late Prince
Asahiko-Kuni and grandson OF the
late Emperor Meiji, Higashi-Kuni
was trained as a japanese militarist
and completed a long career in the
imperial army. He studied military
tactics in France from 1920 to 1926
and was promoted to major general
in 1880. He was made chief of mill
tary aviation in the War Ministry
in 1887, the year the Japanese in
vaded China.

President merely excused Govern
ment employees from work on those
two days.
"T'he executive order will be ap-
plicable on VI day when 1t is pro-
claimed. Before that date the Sec
retary Of Labor will issue clarifying
statement as to its effect"
The situation still was far from
clarified today, however, for at his
press conference the President indi-
Gated VI day would not be q

Sunday Day Of Prayer.
He did declare next Sunday q
national day of prayer, but stressed
it would not be VI day. adding that
he thought people had had enough
holidays and there was much work
to be done.
The mixup threw the Nations
business into a mostly closed, but
partly open basis yesterday, with the
prospect that today would present
even more of a hodge-podge.
The banks in a dozen or more
sizable cities were open for busi-
ness as usual yesterday. More will
be open today, including those in
New York.
A handful of war and industrial
plants continued to operate On the
first day after victory, l.otably the
atomic bomb works at Oak Ridge,
Tenn; the Nations biggest rocket
producing plant at Camden, Ark,
and two big shipyards in the San
Francisco Bay area.
Didn't Call General Holiday.
It appeared likely that some other
plants and businesses might try to
call their workers back, If possible,
following the White House explana-
ton. A presidential secretary said
Mr.. Truman intended only to give
Federal employees two days OF with
pay.
A considerable number of business
firms kept skeleton STATS on the job
yesterday. But for the most part
Americas businessmen and workers
celebrated victory or recovered from
earlier celebrations.
With one exception all stock and
commodity markets were closed In
the United States and In Canada,
