going to expect defense attorneys or
prosecutors to ask for postpone
ment Of trials except for some spe-
cial reason.
The list of cases scheduled for
trial was read at the meeting by
the assignment commissioner, and
lawyers were asked to give an esti-
mate as to how long they expected
trials to take.
Justice Laws said he wanted de-
fense attorneys, prosecutors and
witnesses on hand by $50 in the
mornings of the days on which their
cases are scheduled for trial.
Through close cooperation, Justice
Laws said, he expects the backlog
Of cases to be cleared up and trial
Of criminal cases kept current.

tended by Assistant United States
Attorney General Theron Lamar
Caudle, chief of the criminal divi-
sion, Department of Justice. United
States Attorney Edward M. Curran

SIX days after reaching the Phil

Some Of the released prisoners
were suffering from malnutrition
others from tuberculosis and other
various diseases contracted in
prison.
Most of the prisoners at camps
in the Mukden area slept on wooden
beds with, no clean sheets. They
had little winter clothing and suf-
fered during the long Manchurian
winters.
Present plans are to send those
in the best health back to the United
States as quickly as possible. The
rest will remain for treatment until
they are in condition to be flown out.
A majority of the prisoners never
heard of President Truman or Gen.
Eisenhower. They knew nothing
of the epic struggles Of their COM
rades at Guadalcanal or Tarawa.
Nor did they know that the United
States had 100000 men under

White House Ruling
Is Expected Soon on
Liquidation Of owl
BY the Associated Press.
HvrL4A

BY the Associated Press.
A White House decision is ex-
pected soon on a proposal by Elmer
Davis, once of War Information
director, that the Owl will be liqui-
dated within 80 days and that the
State Department take over part
Of its staff to opearte a peacetime
United States information service
in foreign countries.
Mr.. Davis has recommended such
action to President Truman, who is
awaiting the views of Secretary Of
State Byrnes before taking action,
it was learned.
There Is definite desire among
many in the State Department to
keep some form of official informa-
ton service alive in foreign coun-
tries in peacetime.
Units from owl, some State De-
partment officers have suggested,
could be placed under a reorgan-
ization and expanded division of
public and cultural relations in the
department. Owls outposts, they
say, could be attached to American
embassies and legations If all or part
Of them are retained.
Both State and owl officials. in
discussing postwar possibilities, have
insisted the Government would not
furnish spot news to foreign coun-
tries, but would make available
background" information on Amer
lea and American policies, texts of
official documents and speeches of
public officials, and SO on.
owl overseas has operated quite
frankly as an agency of psycholo-
gical warfare but State Department
people say that in peacetime they
would steer clear of propaganda.
The Army may take over other
Owl personnel, to serve with the
occupation forces in Europe and
the Far East Hundreds of owl
people now work with the Army's
Control of Information Division in
Europe under the occupation COM
mand.
The domestic branch may be
liquidated entirely. owl has made
no recommendation on this smaller
end OF its two-way operation.
The domestic unit, headed by
Neil Dalton, issues and clears"
much of the information output Of
the civilian war agencies. It also
enlists public support in campaigns
Of the salvage, anti-inf1ation and
War Bond type, and has operated
to enlist books, films and movies In
the war effort.
Clearance" consists Of checking
press releases and officials speeches
to see that they do not conflict

ther sacrifice from those who have
already done their part"
In their statements opposing
further induction of l8 and 49,
year-olds both Mr.. Kilday and Mr.
Shafer noted that Congress lowered
the draft age to 18 in 1912, after
Army and Navy officials had as
serted it was essential to the war
effort that a steady flow of youth
full combat troops be provided.
Need for Youth Over.
with the end of the fighting
that need no longer exists" Mr
Kilday declared.
He added the Army has announced
1T will take approximately le
months to muster out some five to
eight million men "and at the end
OF that time, they still will have
several million under arms even il
they don't take another one in"
The Texan said he believed the
draft should be halted Immediately
for teen-agers, because men Of more
mature years are most suitable fol
occupation troops. Furthermore
he said, 18 and 10 year olds now
should be permitted to complete
their education.
Committee sentiment is strong fol
putting an abrupt end to the draft
for everyone without permitting tht
draft law to run its course. Some
members, however, have suggested
a compromise which would halt in
ductions of fathers of. any age and
require the armed forces to dis
charge any man over IS who re-
quests release.
Some committee members favor
immediate passage of a resolution
declaring that, for purposes OF the
Selective Service Act, the war has
ended. The effect of this would be
that, on passage, inducted men
could be kept in uniform for only
six more months.
The Army, meanwhile, said it will
continue to ask for $4,000 new in
ductions a month, regardless of how
peacefully the occupation of Japan
proceeds. A statement termed er-
roneous published reports that draft
calls might be cut again.

House Unit May Open
Hearings tomorrow
On Higher 1ob|ess Pay

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee may start hearings tomorrow
morning on increased unemploy-
ment compensation during recon-
version, one day ahead of Senate
hearings, Chairman Doughton said
today on his return to the Capitol.
A definite decision will be reached
at an executive session this after
noon.
Mr. Doughton was not certain how
soon his committee could begin work
on temporary postwar tax relief. He
declared that If the excess profits
levy on corporations is to be re-
duced it should be accompanied by
some easing of the individual tax
burden. i
ITO wipe out the excess profits
tax without giving some relief to
individuals would not look good
Or be fair to the country" the North
Carolinian said, pointing out that
Congress recently gave some relief
to business by increasing the excess
profits tax exemption from $4,000
to $25,0o0
Sees Repeal of Auto Tax.
Mr.. Doughton was positive on one
point-namely, that the $5-a-year
Federal automobile use tax will be
repealed.
Before formulating any definite
NnYoH11cinyoe thu 0f
revision, the House chairman said
he would need more information on
this years revenue collections and
the outlook for Federal spending
next year.
with the war over, I don't want
to continue deficit spending" he
continued. Therefore, we have got
to get down to balancing the budget
sometime soon."
Mr.. Doughton said he does not
know whether it can be accom-
phshed next year or not, but
warned that as long as expendi-
lures continue heavy they will be
reflected in taxation.
Snyder Slated to Testify.
If, his committee starts unem-
ploynent hearings tomorrow the
first witness probably will be War
Mobilization and Reconversion Di-
rector Snyder.
The Senate committee will start
Wednesday, with Senator Kilgore,
Democrat, of West Virginia, ex-
planning his bill to authorize the
Federal Government to supplement
State payments, to bring them up
to s25 a week for 26 weeks. Under
the Kilgore bill the Federal Gov
ernment also would transport dis
missed war workers, their families
and household effects to areas
where other jobs are available
Mr.. Doughton has introduced in
the House the $25-a-week bill, with
out the transportation feature, but
pointed out he did so by request,
and is not committed either for or
against that solution of the prob
lem in advance of the hearings.

them to talk about their experiences
and answer all questions, no mat
ter how many times they might be
asked the same thing.
That's the only way to forget"
the colonel counseled.
In Fair Health.
COL johnson said some criticism
had been made of parachuting the
rescue teams to war prisoner camps
before the Japanese surrender was
signed formally.
This caused 1t. Nielsen to remark
If they had waited another
month, we would have come out
feet first."
DR.. william Rennie of Buffalo,
N. Y, commander of the station
hospital in Chungking, examined
the three men. He said they were
''in pretty good condition, all things

The three spent much time cal
culating how much their AZ months
of back pay would total They said
their original orders we're that they
would be paid on a per diem basis
until they returned to their perma-
nent station in South Carolina.
1t. Nielsen said his pay allow
