Ike Rumored As Successor To Marshall
 Allied Commander
 Arrives in Capitol
 To Give Testimony

Washington, Nov l3.--(UP) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived here today to lend his weight to pro- poSals for unification of the armed forces and compulsory peacetime military training.
 Eisenhower arrived by train from Boston at 8;49 a. m, EST. He or iginally had planned to fly to Wash ington but changed his plans be- cause of bad flying weather.
 He told newsmen at Union Sta tion he would appear on Capitol Hill as requested His only other engagements in this country were conferences at the War Department and a visit to the American Legion convention in Chicago.
 He plans to go to Chicago by train early next week.
 Eisenhower was met by Gen. Thomas T. Handy, deputy chief of staff; It. Gen. J. E. Hull. assistant chief of staff, Operations Division, War Department. and Brig. Gen. R. N Young, commander of the military district of Washington.
 To Return 10 Europe
 Eisenhower said he plans to re- turn to Europe by plane sometime between Nov. 2l and Nov. 23.
 Asked when he would return to the United States from Europe again, Eisenhower said with a laugh.
 T wish you would tell me when, don't know"
 The European commanders re- turn to the Capital again brought to the forefront the question Of whether he is to succeed Gen. George c. Marshall as Army chief of staff.
 Marshall is expected to retire soon and Eisenhower has been prominently mentioned as his most likely successor Whether or not the Western Allies commander-in- chief in Europe will shortly step into Marshalls shoes may depend on the progress of the occupation in Germany. At any rate EisenhoW- CT has announced his intention Of returning to Frankfurt Nov. 23, and of visiting Edinburgh, Scotland, Nov. 26
 Holds Weight in Congress
 The word of the popular General Ike" is certain to have considerable influence with Congress. Capitol Hill holds in high regard the man who welded the fighting forces Of | several nations into a team that | won victory in Africa. the Medi- terranean and Western Europe Eisenhower who came here from a triumphal arrival in Boston yester- day, already is known as a sup porter of an Army-Navy merger and 1 1ronti,,nad o,, paoe Ql

 A specification that the transports ready to go into action could move l,500 men day suggested that pro- tracted operations were contem- plated
 Informed sources said main units of the Soviet forces in Manchuria were pulling out in three directions, leaving the occupation up to the warning Chinese factions.
 The Russians were reported moy- ing in force from Manchuria into the Soviet occupation zone of North ern Korea, to the gre.. Russian base of Vladivostok flanking Manchuria on the east, and to Port Arthur, at tho ti.o of the Province Jutting down into the Yellow Sea.
 Reds to Garrison Port

Boy Refutes QuisIing Tale
 Yomoshito CoIIs
 First Witness

Manila, Nov. l3. (UP)-Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita called the grandson of a former Filipino rev. olutionary leader as his first defense witness today to refute charges that he refused to halt the massacre of civilians in Manila.
 Yamashita, who had been listen- ing impassively to damning re- cital of evidence linking him to the rape of Manila, smiled broadly when his lawyers interrupted the prosecution testimony to put IA year-old Vislumino Romero on the stand.
 The boy denied fiatly one of the main prosecution charges. that his grandfather. the former insurrec- tionist Gen. Artemio Ricarte who worked for the Japanese as laison officer, had conferred with Yama- shita on the Manila atrocities last December
 Claims Departure
 Romero was permitted to testify for the defense, although the pros- ecution had not completed it's case, after YamaShita'S counsel explained to the court that the boy had to leave Manila shortly.
 Speaking in Japanese. young Romero refuted prosecution witness who swore last week that he at- tended a meeting between Ricarte and Yamashita in which the Jap anese general admitted knowing Of the mass murders and rape com mitted by his soldiers.
 The prosecution witness, former Filipino collaborator named Joaquin Galang, had testified that the meet ing took place in Ricartes home, with Romero acting as interpreter for his grandfather.
 Let's not talk about it any more Galang had quoted Yamashita as saving when feicarte asked him to halt the Manila atrocities. T know
