in prison. All sentences are subject
to review by 1t. Gen. Lucian K.
Truscott, commander of U. S. for
ces in the eastern occupation area,
and by Gen. Joseph T. McNarney,
commander of American troops in
the European theater.
DR.. Klaus Karl Schilling, inter-
acknowledgement scientist charged
with taking the lives of LOO to
1900 prisoners with experiments
in Malaria, swayed slightly and
bowed his head as he heard the
death verdict.

fellow sufferers by assuming the
role of guard, tainted when he
heard his sentence to hang.
Otherwise the 40 defendants
showed little emotion, and the
courtroom, damned the doors and
with onlookers standing three deep
in the rear, was silent throughout
the hour long ceremony.
Brig. Gen. John NJ. Lentz, presi-
dent of the eight-man court, called
each man forward from his place
in the dock to read the sentences,
telling those condemned to die
that they were to meet death ''by
hanging at such time and place as
higher authorities may direct

with his captors for a typewriter,
table, and chair in order that he
might finish transcribing the notes

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. -W.n-
The Federal Trade Commission
today recommended repeal Of the
Miller-Tydings Enabling Act I'm
der which Is states have passed
laws permitting manufacturers to
set their own retail prices.
ETC said in a special report to
Congress that the act is unfair to
the consumer because it tends to
encourage price fixing and to kill
free competition.
The act permits state and local
governments to put floors under
retail prices, with the intent of
preventing price wars. It also is
aimed at merchants who sell a
particular item at less than cost
in order to attract customers.

TOKYO, Friday, Dec. 14-P-
Seven members of the House of

General Macarthur farm reform
directive as based upon outdated
conditions.
The seven told a small group of
American correspondents tn t
MacArthur's directive applied to

conditions no longer true today"
7. Farmers profited heavily during
the war, said Rep. Mamoru
Nagano of Hiroshima prefecture,
and accumulated bank accounts
averaging 5000 yen ($333.) Nagano,
an industrial manager, asserted
that government figures of a 1000
Yen. average debt for tenant farm
ers were misleading.
debts usually were carried on
the books despite the farmers
ability to iquidate them because
the government farm credit Or
ganization wants them to remain
in business. Nagano said.
The legislators said they all are
members Of the Progressive party
and indicated their opinion on the
farm measure generally was shar-
ed in the House of Representatives.

Yesterday, the House sharply
assailed its own government for
failure to provide for war suffer-
ers, as instructed by General Mac

sentatives declared that many
homeless persons were "still aim
