u. 5. May Undertake
War Crimes Trials
Alone, Jackson Says
BY the Associated Press.


NUREMBERG, Sept. IT, Su-
premel Court Justice Robert H
Jackson, chief American war crimes
prosecutor, says the United States
expects to be ready to begin trials
of Nazi war leaders by November ]
and may proceed on its own If the
other Allied nations are not pre-
pared to go ahead at that time.
As he formally established head
quarters of the American division
OF the War Crimes Commission here
today, Justice Jackson sought scru-
pulously to avoid giving any i'm
preston that lack of cooperation
by any of the other powers caused
the delay. But his disappointment
with the slowness of preparations
for the international trials was evil
dent.
The United States expects to be
ready to 60 to trial by November,
Justice Jackson told correspondents
at his first press conference in the
office of the Palace of Justice where
the trials will be held. But I can
not speak for the others
U. S. Names Officials.
The situation is that only three
nations have named prosecutors
and only one, the United States
has named its members of the tri.
bunal"
Justice Jackson said Russia hac
withdrawn Gen. I. T. Nikitchenkt
as It's prosecutor without naming {
successor, and that he had no &C.
curate knowledge of the progress O.
Russian preparedness for the trials
He then recalled that In a report
to President Truman he had sug.
gested that If the other nations were
not ready to start in a reasonable
time, the United States might try
its cases alone.
We've got the defendants anc
we've got the witnesses" should
such a procedure eventually become
necessary, he said.
Dignity Pledged.
When the trials start Justice
Jackson pledged to do everything
within his power to prevent then
from becoming "a three-ring cir.
Gus"
I'VE have the provisions and we
intend to stick to them to preserve
the trials as international lega
procedure. We want to impress thu
German people with the crimina
nature of the trials, and lettins
them develop into a three-ring cir.
Gus would spoil this effect" he said
However, defendants. who will be
allowed to choose, their own coun-
sci, will be permitted "to name
names" even of high persons in
Allied countries and to ask to call
such persons if they can be shown
to be necessary witnesses, Justice
jackson said.

Automatic Increase
In Social Security Tax
Scheduled January |
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

While lawmakers were holding out
hope of l946 reductions in war.
time taxes. Chairman George of the
Senate Finance Committee today
issued a reminder that wage earners
and employers face an automatic
increase in Sociay Security pay roll
taxes January l, unless Congress
steps in to postpone it.
For several years Congress has
postponed a scheduled increase from
l 10 2 per cent each on employer anc
employe in the payroll levy for old
age insurance because the reserve
fund was more than adequate, and
now the levy is due to jump from !
to 24 per cent on each.
Senator George said the question
OF whether there should be another

erly be considered" in the approach.
ing tax revision bill, and, he added
Il have no doubt the Ways anc
Means Committee will consider it
because they are aware Of the prob
lem"
Elimination Proposed.
Meanwhile, Representative Rob.
ertson, Democrat, of Virginia, 6
prominent member of the WAYS anc
Means Committee, proposed thar
the postwar tax relief be accom-.
plished by eliminating both the
per cent normal tax on persona
incomes and the 95 per cent exces:
profits levy on corporations.
This would give industry and in.
dividuals about $4,000 100000 of ia,
relief next year to stimulate recon.
version and purchasing power.
While the old-age payroll tax is
credited to a special reserve ac-
count In the Treasury, the auto
matte increase, due to take place
January l. nevertheless would af-
feet the amount of money available
to industry and workers and offset
substantially the general tax relief
now being considered for 1916.
Revision Awaiting Action.
In suggesting that Congress re-
view the need for the increase to
21a per cent (Which would mean
S per cent from employer and en-
ploye together, Senator George
pointed out that complete revision
and broadening of the Social Sc
curity Act is awaiting consideration
of Congress within the next year.
He had reference to measures like
the Wagner-Dingell bill to add new
forms of health and welfare in
surance to the Social Security Act
and to extend coverage to virtually
all individuals.
Such revision of the basic pro-
gram may necessitate a payroll taz
OF 4 per cent or more on both en-
ployer and emplqye, the Georgian
pointed out. II action on those
measures Is to be taken during
1946, the Senator said, it might be
advisable to avoid having the pay
roll levy go up to 212 per cent on
January l for few months.
The Robertson proposal for gen.
eral tax revision paves the way TO,
a lively tax battle in the Ways and
Means Committee, since it will clash
with the alternative plan of the
ranking Republican member, Rep
resentative Knutson, of Minnesota
Mr.. Knutson has proposed a fiat
20 per cent cut in all personal
income taxes. He would have each
individual deduct 20 per cent. Mr.
Robertson argued that under his
repeal of the per cent normal tax
the measure of tax relief would be
greatest where needed most.

New Effort 10 Expedite
Job|ess Pay Measure
Urged by Truman

~ the Associated Press.
President Truman urged congress
xional leaders today to redouble
their efforts to expedite the broad
sst possible unemployment compen-
sation bill.
with the Senate scheduled to take
M the legislation tomorrow, the
President reviewed the outlook with
hts Capitol Hill "big four" and
Chairman George of the Senate
Finance Committee.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
said the conference also dealt with
the so-called full employment bill,
legislation setting up single sur
plus property administrator and a
measure to give the President au-
thority to reorganize Government
agencies for the postwar period.
situation Is Reviewed.
I'VE went over the situation re-
earding the unemployment compen-
sation bill, coming up in the Senate
tomorrow, Senator Barkley told
reporters.
"The President Is most anxious
that we get an effective bill through
as soon as possible. He wants it to
cover as many workers as possible
and to be as effective as possible to
meet the emergency created by the
reconversion problems. We are
hopeful that we can get some ef1ec-
tive legislation. There will be some
amendments offered and the legis-
lation will have to be fought out
on the floor" :
Senator Barkley emphasized that
the President said he still wanted
his original proposal-compensation
up to a maximum of $25 a week for
a neriod of 26 weeks. He also wants
coverage of Federal employees and
some other groups not eligible for
compensation.
Truman Reported Hopeful.
Others who talked with the
President were Senator McKellar,
President pro tenn of the Senate;
Sneaker Rayburn and House Ma
jority Leader Mccormack.
Mr.. Mccormack said the Presi-
dent was very hopeful that an
effective unemployment bill to meet
emergency demands can be worked
out" He added that the wage sit
ustion was discussed in a general
way, but told reporters 1t was not
a legislative matter.
Senator Reed. Republican. of Kan
sas earlier said that If the unem-
ployment compensation law were
put up to the people of his State
they would toss it out the window.
Kansans "Disgusted."
Senator Reed said majority of
Kansans are disguised" with the
system because idlers are getting on
the benefit rolls and dodging jobs.
He said he had learned of a case
of a girl, laid off from a Kansas
shell loading plant, who sought to
open a charge account. When the
store manager asked if she had
work, he quoted her as replying, "oh,
no, but I'll be drawing nnemploy-
ment benefits for months"
Senator Reed said such a situa-
ton is possible because while the
States administer the benefit sys-
TEN, the United States Employment
Service-which is supposed to find
Jobs for the unemployed-is under
Federal management. The Kansan

the USES back to the States.

IBuenos Aires Embassy
Revealed as Cenfer
|0f Jap Espionage
BY ROBERT BRUsKIN.

Japanese espionage. sabotage and
fifth column activities in South
America centered in the Puenos
Aires Embassy Of Japanese Ambas-
sador Baron Shu Tomii for at least
two years after Pearl Harbor, an
authoritative source told The Star
today.
The clandestine operations ena-
mating from the Japanese Embassy
were so widespread, he declared.
that the Argentine government
must have known considerably
about them. However, little was
done to prevent it although Ar
gentina was the hub from which
radiated japanese nets into Brazil,
Peru and Chile.
The organizations responsible for
gathering information which may
have cost the lives of countless
Allied soldiers were the Dragon
Negro-the Black Dragon Society
which operated secretly, and the
Nippon Gawa, which operated
openly from Offices at the Embassy
ostensibly as a propaganda organ
ization, the source declared.
Identical Groups.
There was more than ample evi-
dence, he declared, that the two
organizations were virtually iden-
tical. The ultranationalistic Black
Dragon Society undoubtedly domi-
mated both with the aid of japa-
nese Army officers.
In their South American opera
tions, the source said, the Black
Dragon Society used the same pro-
cedure followed in Japan, Man
churia, China, Dutch West Indies,
the United States and other coun-
tries marked for aggression.
The society operated secretly it
established other cover" organ
izations to undertake particular
projects, and it employed terror
ism to enforce its aims.
In May, 1943, the source disclosed,
Baron Shu was visited by the So
ciety,s leader in South America,
Katsushigo Hanani. He warned the
japanese Ambassador and his as
sistant Koseki Tomiya, that their
attitude was too passive. He al
legedly accused the Baron of failing
to institute previously planned
wave of sabotage in Brazil and
Chile and threatened to have the
project taken over by the Black
Dragon Society. But this failed to
:naterialize, possibly because the
militarists backed the Baron.
Pressure and Threats.
The Dragon Negro conducted its
operations in Argentina. Brazil.
Chile and Peru among the large
number of Japanese colonists by
pressure and threats.
With its headquarters in a print
ing shop in Buenos Aires, the So
ciety was tightly organized in groups
of II members each. Three such
groups operated in Argentina, eight
in Brazil, two in Peru and one In
Chile.
| Nippon Gawa operated exclusively
in Argentina and it was active ir
