 In fact, he testified he had in- structed his subordinates to cooper ate with the Filipinos as much as possible.
 The coolness and courtroom skill of the General was apparent when Kerr pointed a finger at him and asked emphatically:
 AS military commander wasn't it your duty to protect the civilian population?"
 Yamashita looked unflinchingly at Kerr and coldly replied:
 Tt was duty. but military oper- aticns came first

Plans for Surprise War on Austria, Invasion
 Are Revealed
By IVES GALLAGHER

NUREMBERG, NOV. Z9-Gefman Army plans for surprise war" against Austria and Nazi Fifth Column plots leading to German invasion of the little country in 1883 were placed today before the International Military Tribunal trying 20 Nazi leaders on war crimes charges.
 Fat, and not -too- happy, Hermann Goering was described as the man who directed by telephone the blitz invasion of Austria after Austrian Nazis paved the way by deposine Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg.
 Goering became serious as As sistant U. s. Prosecutor Sidney S. Alderman read in detail trans cripts of telephone conversations between Goering and Austrian Nazis on the days before and on the day of the unopposed invasion. The records were found in the ruins of the Berlin Air Ministry building by Associated Press Cor respondent Dan De Luce and given to the prosecution for evidence.
 Grim Days Lived Over
 This highly interesting docu- ment allows us to live again in those grim days of Anschluss," AL derman declared
 Many of the telephone conversa- tions were with Arthur Seyss-In- quart, Austrian Nazi leader and one of Goering's fellow defendants. The prosecution said the records clearly disclosed Nazi plotting to absorb Austria into the Reich.
 Transcriptions of the telephone conversation disclose d Goering succeeded in having Seyss-Inquart installed as Austria's chancellor by threats and dictated the tele- gram in which German troops were invited by Seyss-Inquart into Aus tria in the AnschluSS coup.
 Threats Cause Laugh
 The Reichsmarshal laughed and most of the other top Nazis in the prisoners box seemed amused as the prosecution read off in Goer- ing's words the threats, bluffs, ca ioleries and lies that resulted in the downfall of Austria.

 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Clearest call for Congressional action on reconver- sion was voiced last week in a little-noticed speech by the ex- Minneapolis street-sweeper. Repre- sentative William J. Gallagher Without any hesitation, he pinned responsibility for the congressional sit-down strike right where it be- longs-on the leadership of import ant House committees.
 Gallagher, a member of four committees (CenSus, Indian Affairs, Mines and Mining, and Pensions) pointed out that only the Indian Affairs Committee has been at all active.
 T might just as well not be on a committee at all" he remarked. The bent, white-haired former supporter of Henry George called for an end to the long delay in stalling off the St. Lawrence Sea- way project. He called for action on the Full Employment Bill, the 65-cent Minimum Wage Bill, and other important measures bound up with reconversion.
 Reason for the long delays in committees, he said is that leaders on both sides of the House do not trust the members. If they are not in complete agreement on the ob- jective of these measures, at least they should permit them to come before the House for vote.
 Why should we sit here day after day doing nothing but talk. talk, criticize, and fight battles that are past, in place of having our eyes to the future for the bene- fit of our country and for the benefit of the soldier boys? . want action and sane thinking"
 It was one of the sanest speeches Congress has heard in weeks.

S|N0-S0vIET ACCORD MAY
 BE REACHED
Would Permit Nationalist Occupation of Manthuria
 United States May Help
(By The Associated Press)

Chinese press dispatches told to- day of possible Sino-Soviet accord on Nationalist occupation of Man churia, and It. Gen. Albert c. Wede- meyer, U. s. Commander in China, indicated that the United States may be contemplating giving mili- tary assistance to the Chungking government
 The press reports said General issimo Chiang Kai-shek's troops have halted their march toward Mukden, Manchuria, because the Russians have agreed to their un- hindered. peaceful entry later. Much of Manchuria is held by Chinese Communist forces.
 Wedemeyer's suggestion of pos sible U. s. aid to China was included in comments on the appointment of General Marshall as a special envoy to China The American Command CT said he thought Marshall's trip was for the purpose of making a survey of the situation" to make appropriate recommendations to the President concerning future U. S. assistance or military aid - to China"
 While branding erroneous previous reports that 700 U s. planes had bsen flown to China for turning over to Chiang's government, Wede- meyer said the planes were being collected at Shanghai and could be bought by the Chinese. or by some other government, or shipped back to the United States
 The Orients second trouble spot, Indonesia, quieted somewhat as British Indian troops completed oc- cupation of the key naval base city of Soerabaja, scene of prolonged struggle with Native Extremists.
 A local administration has been set up under British control.
 Military operations at Bandoeng with Soetardjo, Indonesian Gov ernor" of West Java, for evacuation of the city by native forces continue.

URGES GOVT. SUBSIDY FOR ALASKA LINl
MARSHALL GETS READY 10 HURRY
 TO CHINA DUTIES
Closed Door Session, How ever, Planned by Sen
 ate Foreign Com.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-Armed with broad powers, Gen. George c. Marshall sped preparations today for quick flight to China as his predecessors explosive resignation headed for an airing on Capitol Hill.
 Chairman Connally tD-TeXD, of the Senate Foreign Relations Com mittee, told reporters he plans to call both Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley and Secretary of State James F. Byrnes before a closed door session, perhaps Monday
 The purpose, Connally said, will be an informal discussion of Hur- ley's contention that he has been crossed up as Ambassador to China by subordinates both in the State Department and at Chungking.
 Connally stressed, however, that he has no intention of ordering any such full-dress hearing as Senator Wherry (R-Neb) demanded in a bitter Senate speech late yester- day. This would have covered just about everything connected with the State Department, the Atlantic Charter and the Potsdam Big Three agreement
 As personal representative of President Truman and retaining his five-star, General of the Army rank, Marshall will be able to ex- ercise virtually unlimited authority over American personnel, both mili- tary and diplomatic.
 The former Army Chief of Staff has the absolute backing of MT. Truman and observers agree that anyone who fails to do what Mar shall seriously wants done might very well find himself packing his bags for home.
