FIVE FILIPINOS ROB
MANILA BANK USING
u. S. ARMY REVOLVERS

MANILA, Dec. 4. -UH- Five
bandits armed with United States
Army automatics and using a jeep
robbed bank messengers OF $780,
500 in broad daylight today on a
downtown street.
Seven hours later police sur
rounded and captured five Filipino
youths who confessed. Police said
$199, 500 of the loot had been re-
covered and a thorough search was
underway for the remaining 1000.
Authorities described the hold-up
as the largest and most daring in
the history of the city.
The robbery. took place outside
the Chinese-owned Philippine Bank
of Communications where the
money, owned by the 'ank, was
being loaded into a car for transfer
to the National City Bank.
The bandits told police they had
borrowed the jeep from a Philip
pine Army Lieutenant who is under
investigation. The gang was round
ed up in the Santa Ana district OF
southeast Manila.
Col. ]. P. Holland, chief Of po-
lice, said he had not been notified
that the money was being moved.
Otherwise, he said, he would have
furnished police protection.

MACARTHUR ORDER
STUNS MANY JAPS
Diet Members Uneasy Over
Possibility OF Further
Arrests

TOKYO, Dec. 4-(R-Stin groggy
from the shock OF General Mac
Arthur's latest list Of wanted war
criminal suspects, Japan's poll
ticians and high military leaders
pondered today the nations urgent
postwar problems with the uneasy
realization that their own necks
might soon be at stake.
The Diet, half-heartedly discus
sing the gloomy financial situation
and the prospect of drastically in
creased taxes, was described in
the Japanese press as stunned by
the inclusion of 26 Of its members
on Macarthur list, and appre-
hensive lest the dragnet be widen
ed to take in more of them.
Field Marshal Shunroku Hata,
member of the Supreme Military
council and former commander-in'
chief in China, who was named on
MacArthur's list, solemn1y stated
that in his opinion war-criminal
suspect could choose hara-kiri or
leave it alone-and still "save
face" with the Japanese army.
The stern-faced Field Marshal left
no doubt that he intended to fol.
low the second method.
The newspaper Yomiuri, whose
president, Matsutaro Shoriki was
named on MacArthur's list, said
the present arrest demand GER
tainly represents an advance for
Japan's democratizing bloodless
revolution.
Adm. Sankichi Takahashi, once
commander-in-chief of the com
bined Japanese fleet, showed nc
surprise over the order for his ar
rest, and said bluntly:
Il am one of the persons re-
sponsible for the war" Fiele
Marshal Hata, in addition to dis
closing his own lack of inclina
ton to commit hara-kiri, put in E
good word for Emperor Hirohito
He said Hirohito's personal inter
vention halted the execution o.
captured Doolittle airmen afte1
three of them already had beer
beheaded.
The Emperor, he said, learned
of the three executions when they
were reported by the Army chie1
OF staff, and Immediately ordered
that there be no further killings.

SHUNROKU

WASHINGTON, Dec. - Up -
Labor and business groups which
had joined in President Truman's
Labor Management conference
were in head-on conflict tonight
over various labor bills pending in
the House.
Leaders Of the nations biggest
labor organizations, addressing a
meeting of more than 100 House
members, vigorously objected to
proposed anti-strike legislation and
a bill to include labor unions in
the so-called anti-racketeering act
of 1884.
ALL President William Green
said the legislation had united all
of labor in "immovable opposi-
tom and contended that such
measures would endanger free en-

"Today." said OPA, "many

supplies have not reached pre-war
levels and shipments have been
slow from our two main sources Of
supply-Cuba and Puerto Rico.
In Cuba, there has been a drought.
while in Puerto Rico there have
been labor troubles"
But sugar dealers replied they
could get all the sugar they wanted

if the OPA would call off sugar
rationing.
