Hogs D0oUn

Though slaughter of cattle and
sheep during the first eight months
OF 1915 hit new tops for federally-
inspected plants, butchering of hogs
dropped off severely, resulting in a
continued tight meat situation. Only
with an improved hog situation in
creasing the overall supply of meat
did marketing experts look forward
to an end of rationing.
With August slaughter at an eight
year low, the eight month hog pro-
duction tota1led 26,821 ,667, away be-
low the 5O,352,226 mark for the
same period last year. During the
early part of September, hogs con-
tinued to trickle into leading mar
kets, with shipments commanding
ceiling prices.
Partly offsetting decreased hog
slaughter were record chickering's
of cattle and sheep for the first eight
months Of the year, with 9,071, 406
cattle killed and 1880, 1914 sheep. At
1852, 779, the calf total was the Sec
ond largest on record. A continued
heavy run of cattle was expected
this fall

her 1O-year-old son Terry had SUI
fered acute embarrassment. AS a
result, she said, indirect pressure
had been brought to bear against the
youngster to take the course, regard
less Of his inclination, on public
school property maintained by tax
payers funds.
In counter1ng Mrs. McCullom's
charge, the school board pointed out
that the courses were outside of the
school curricula and purely volun-
tary, with the representative of all
of the principal religious denomina-
tons conducting and financing the
instruction.
Aside from the state constitution
and statutes involved, federal inter-
vention hinged on the first amend
ment to the U. S. Constitution, which
provides: Congress shall make no
law respecting an establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof and section
l of the 18th amendment to the Con-
stitution declaring ''No state
shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges
Or immunities of the citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state
deprive any person of life, liberty,
or property without due process of
law, nor deny to any person within
its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws"
Mother of three boys and wife Of
a University of Illinois professor, 81
year-old Mrs. McCullom said that
while she realized the suit might
harm young Terry, her deep con-
viction on separation of church from
state inspired her action.

out most of the Pacific conflict be-
fore enemy reverses forced his re-
tirement, ex-Premier Hideki TOTO
led off the suicide wave by attempt
ing to take his life as American
troops arrived at his country resi-
dence outside Tokyo to arrest him.
Though TOTO misfired, former war
minister and army chief Sugiyama
used better aim to kill himself, and
ex-welfare minister Koizumi also
succeeded in taking his life.
Having first protested full respon-
sibility for the war before trying, to
shoot himself, TOTO shut up tighter
than clam following an improve
ment in his condition under the
watchful eye of American medics.
Refusing to talk on his sick-bed,
the ashen 61-year-old former Japa-
nese kingpin declared that he would
not answer questions without docu-
mentary reference.
Meanwhile, capital circles re-
vealed that TOTO and other sus-
pected Japanese war criminals
would have their unhappy day in
court before a four-power military
tribunal similar to the one trying
Nazi overlords in Nuremberg, Ger
many.
Representatives of the U. S., Brit
ain, Russia and China will comprise
the tribunal, which probably will sit
in Tokyo and, as in the case of its
European counterpart, try foreign
government leaders on the unprece-
denied charges Of conducting wars
of aggression.
In addition to trial on the novel
count of carrying on aggressive
warfare, japanese will be tried for
such crimes against humanity as
racial persecution, deliberate tor
ture or destruction of helpless peo-
pie, and murder of military person
mel captured.
Though not questioning the goal
of bringing Nazi and japanese over
lords to justice, many eminent
American lawyers have opposed the
procedure for trial, declaring that it
establishes precedent for kangaroo
courts which might be used against
Allied personages in the event Of
future reverses in the fortunes Of
war.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
British Ask Hid

In the U. S. to sell this country on
the feasibility of offering financial
assistance to Britain, Ambassador
Halifax and Economist Keynes de-
clared that prosperous Britain,
getting its great exporting and inn
porting machinery going at full
blast, would help assure the stabil-
ity SO necessary for postwar peace.
Should Britain fail to secure sui
ficient aid to rebuild it's industry and
obtain raw materials for processing
into finished goods, Messrs. Halifax
and Keynes pointed out, the whole
intricate system of exchange among
nations would be affected, leading
to social disturbances the world
over and another outgrowth of isms.
Thus, in approaching the u. S.
on a basis of mutual concern,
the British came over as prac-
teal statesmen and not as beg
gars. Further, they disclaimed
any intention of seeking an easy
way out by negotiating interest
bearing loans, but rather stated
that they were opposed to any
type of debt of burdensome
nature which, like World War
obligations, would have to. be
eventually repudiated.

Thirty-fourth and Dix streets NE.
Hazards of travel, to the Benning

Benning Viaduct and in some cases
children must cross railroad tracks.
Chester v. Parker, president of the
association, said that although the
viaduct was unsafe, efforts to i'm

Wagner Says ANA
Fights Every Move 10
Extend Medical Care
1y the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, June Ex-senator
Wagner, Democrat, of New York,
co-author of bill to extend social
security benefits to include medical
and hospital care, declared yester-
day that the American Medical As
sociation has condemned every
proposal which has had a chance to
deal with our large national needs
on national basis"
Senator Wagner made the asser-
ton in a letter addressed to DR..
Morris Fishbein, editor of the ANA
Journal, and published in the
= journal as reply to a June 2
Journal editorial which termed the
Wagner Murray -Dingell bill social
lied medicine and State medicine" i"
The Journal quoted Senator Wag-
ner's letter as saying in part: "On
numerous occasions over the past
10 years the American Medical As
sociation has been urged to put for
ward constructive proposals to deal
with admitted needs for health and
medical services in the United
States and the association
has condemned every proposal
which had a chance to deal with
our large national needs on an ade-
quate basis"
The Journal commented:
Senator Wagner and the repre-
sentatives of the Social Security
Board have queer ideas of consul
tation and cooperation. From the
first they have insisted on Federal
compulsory sickness insurance as
the only answer to the problem of
medical care. They refuse to listen
to any other proposals or to modify
IN any way the proposals developed
through the Social Security Board
and introduced by the Senator"

Claim Against japanto Be Filed for One Death
 In Pearl Harbor Aftatk

CODY, Wyo., Sept. 26.-A claim against the Japanese government for the death of a Wyoming man in the Pearl Harbor attack was filed with the State Department, a Cody attorney representing the parents said yesterday.
 The attorney. Milward L.. Simpson, who is also president of the Univer- sity of Wyoming Board of Trustees, said he hoped Japan would be re- quired to compensate for all the deaths that occurred at Pearl Har- Dor before war was formally de- clared.
 The Wyomingite was James Or r.es Morgareidge, g, who was killed aboard the U. s. s. Arizona Dec. ', l941. His parents are Mir. and Mrs. c. B. Morgareidge of Denver
 T have reason to believe that the State Department is amendable to my proposition,' said Simpson. He did not elaborate.
 The claim, which mentioned no specific sum, requests the State Department to prosecute it ito a formal conclusion" on the basis of a life expectancy of 40.75 years for Morgareidge.

ANY SWING 10 IS0LATI0NISM 
President Truman Makes Replies to Many
 Questions Today

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Presi- dent Truman declared today that any swing to isolation in the United States would put this country on the road to ruin.
 Then, with machine gun rapidity he replied to a variety of questions whic hfurther revealed some of his plans for American participation in remaking the world order He said:
 The disposition of Japan's fleet will be decided by an Allied separations committee just as in the case Of German Naval force. This would open the way for both Britain and Russia to claim share as they did at the Berlin Big Three meeting.
 In his forthcoming message to Congress on the atomic bomb he will say whether he believes the secrets of the bomb should be divulged to other nations.
 The present organization of Japa- nese occupation under Gen. Douglas Macarthur was agreed upon by all the Governments interested, evident ly meaning Russia, Britain and China. MT Truman said he has received no proposal for creating an Allied council on Japan.

MIRIAM DICkEY
 GIVES STRAIGHT
 DOPE ON kLASkA
Warning Is Given Those Coming North-1ourisf
 Possibilities Given

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-Alaska will welcome new settlers but hopes they will come prepared to pioneer a place for themselves.
 So says Miss Miriam Dickey. Ex- ecutive Secretary to Capt. A. E.. Lathrop, publisher of the Fairbanks News Miner and owner of radio sta- ton KFAR. She is here to consult with government agencies.
 Alaska is land of wonderful opportunities but they are not to be won on a shoestring," Miss Dickey told a reporter.
 People looking for easy jobs and lots of money shouldn't come up north. It's still pioneering coun- try. If they want to have a part in it's development and are willing to work hard, Alaska needs them
 Miss Dickey says Alaska's immed- fate need is for development of tour ist industries She believes the eX- pansion of air facilities into the Territory will contribute to this because of reduced travel time. How ever, she thinks many more vaca- tionists will visit Alaska by boat and that the general public has just begun to appreciate the scenic and historic values of the Territory.
 We've had scads of letters from people who want to visit Alaska, :" she said
 There are some very lovely sec tions easily adaptable to tourist needs all the way from the Canadian border to the Arctic Circle"
 The newcomer to Alaska will find. she said, that living costs are pretty high compared to those in the States, transportation costs being a big factor.
 She listed housing as perhaps the No problem at present. (The Ter ritory's Delegate in Congress, E. l.. Bartlett, says he is inquiring into the possibility of government aid to relieve the problem and may intro duce legislation in this connecticut.
 Miss Dickey is a native of Kali spell, Mont, where she went to school with Ellen Erickson, daughter of former U. s. Senator and Gov ernor John E. Erickson. She was graduated in journalism from the University of Washington and be- came interested in Alaska while planning magazine venture for the Northwest.

The long hidden fate of three missing Doolittle Tokyo raiders be- came known today: All three were executed by the Japanese, their next-of-kin were told by the War Department.
 The three were among eight who were forced down and captured in China by the Japanese after the raid on Tokyo April Is, 1922. Their fel- low prisoners last saw them alive in a Japanese prison October IA, l942.
 The Japanese accused them of strafing school children, and con- demned all eight, but later com muted the sentences of all but three.

TROUBLE AHEAD IN
 GERMANY
Disagreements in Allied Policy, Lack Of Food,
 Causes Gravel Fears
By John M. HightOwer
soeiated Press Correspondent

Associated Press COrresponuent'
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-It looks 2 like trouble ahead in Germany.
 Disagreements in Allied policy plus lack of supplies among tke German people are blamed by diplomatic of- ficials here.
 Two possible results are foreseen:
 r. Politically Germany is bellev- ed to be moving toward a. split down the middle. Under such split the eastern part of the country now oc- oupied by Russia would come under Russian influence as unit of Soviet dominated eastern Europe. The western zones would come under Anglo American influence.
 2. Economically, conditions are so disordered that some authorltles here believe the United States may be asked to appropriate money to send food to Germany this winter.
 The whole German situation, in volving both the conduct of affairs in the American occupied zone and relationships among the four Allied zones, recently has been obscured by concern over Japanese occupation policy. It appears. however, to be in its own way full of incipient fail ures.
 In fact, some officials are begin ming to wonder whether conditions that might lead up to another world war already are becoming faintly evi- dent there.
