FOrSpeech

WASHINGTON, March 1 (INS)
For the first time in his political
career, President Roosevelt today
publicly mentioned his crippled
physical condition.
In opening his address to Con-
gresS, the President diverted from
his prepared text 10 ask pardon

ting in a wheel chair in the well

Mr.. Roosevelt declared that the
agreements reached at Yalta spell
an end to the system of exclusive
alliances of spheres of influences
and balances of power" in diplo-
matte affairs.
I'VE propose 10 substitute for
all these, a universal organiza-
ton in which all peace-loving
nations will finally have a
chance to join"
President Roosevelt declared
that the 14-month lapse between
the Teheran and Yalta conferences
was too long" and permitted the
growth of spheres of influences"
and instances of political con-
fusion and unrest . as in Greece
and Poland and Yugoslavia and
other places.
The President hailed the solu-
ton reached on Poland as "one
outstanding example of joint
action by the three major Allies

PLEASED WITH FARLEY
Giving Congress his own re-
action to the results of the
Crimea meeting, the President de-
clared that he had come away
from the conference with q firm
belief that we have made a good
start on the road to a world peace
. =. it has been a long journey.
I hope you will agree that 1t was
a fruitful one"
Speaking I'm all frankness,
the question of whether IL II to
be entirely fruitful or not, lies
TO a great extent In your hands.
For unless you here In the halls
Of the American Congress-with
the support of the American
people-concur In the decisions
reached at Yalta, and give them
your active support, the meeting
will not have produced lasting
results.
That Is why I come before
you at the earliest hour after my
return. / want to make a per-
sOnal report to you--and at tho
same time to the people of the
country. Many months of earn
est work are ahead of us all, and
i should like to feel that when
the last stone Is laid on tho
structure of international peace,

which all of us I'm America have

Trial Facts Distorted
In Service Journals
Blast, jackson Says
Not Trying MiIitorists as
Soldiers, but as Authors
Of War, He Declares
BY the Associated Press.

NUREMBERG, Dec. 4.-Justice
Robert H. Jackson, chief Ameri-
can prosecutor at the Nuremberg
war crimes trial, charged today
that an Army-Navy Journal ar
ticle criticizing the prosecution
was a distortion of the course
of action we are pursuing"
THE author has quite OBJ
viously never taken the pains to
read my opening statement in this
trial." Justice Jackson said in a
statement.
Il pointed out that we were not
prosecuting these militarists for
serving their country, but for mas
tering it and driving it.to war; not
for fighting war, but for pro-
noting it.
He (the author) obviously is not
acquainted with the evidence which
has been so far adduced against
those defendants who belonged to
the military.
I'm the prisoners dock are rep
resented several professions, includ-
ing the law. These professional
men are not being indicted or tried
because they belonged to a profess
sion but for crimes, among others
of planning an aggressive war which
bathed the world in blood.
"One cannot defend his criminal
acts on the ground that he is
soldier or a lawyer.
Il should have thought by now
that no American could espouse i'm
munity for the persons we have
brought to trial. The GIs I know
in Germany certainly do not feel
that way.
''The position of the author and
those for whom he speaks so mac
curately seems to be that it is al
right to punish somebody for illegal
war making, shooting American
prisoners of war and numbering and
enslaving civilians-so long as you
don't get the men who actually did
it. This makes nonsense to me-"
1t. Gen. Murray Gurfein, who was
named with Maj. Gen. William j.
Donovan and Col Howard Brundage
in the Army-Navy Journal article
as having left Jackson's staff in a
disagreement over prosecution of
the trial, issued a statement denying
the Journals article. Gen. Donovan
and Col. Brundage we're not avail
able for comment.
Story Declared Unfounded.
THE story of the Army-Navy
about the reason for my
withdrawal is utterly unfounded,"
Col. Gurfein commented from Paris
by telephone "It was understood
we'll before the opening of the trial
that I would return to the United
States December l and that I would
have finished my assigned task in
Germany by that date.

Most DooIitt|e FLYERS
Saved by Hirohito,
Former Aide Asserts
Hoto States Emperor
Stopped Executions
After Getting Report
BY the Associated Press.

TOKYO, Dec. 4.-Only Emperor
Hlrohito's personal iptercession
prevented the execution of all
American flyers captured in the
April, 1912, bombing of Tokyo,
Field Marshal Shunroku Hata,
former war minister and chief
aide-de-camp to the Emperor,
said today.
Hata, named as suspected war
criminal in Gen. MacArthur's latest
list of wanted men, said in an in
terview that the Emperor's clemency
order was issued around October,
1912, after three of the captured
Doolittle airmen were executed in
Shanghai.
Hata was commander in chief of
all japanese forces in China at
that time.
He said he was not sure whether
10 or ii Doolittle flyers were cap
tured, but the executed in China
were court-martialed by the Japa-
nese 18th Army and its commander,
1t Gen. Shigeru Sawada, must
bear the responsibility" Sawada
already has been imprisoned.
After the crash, the three airmen
were brought to Japan for question:
ing and then we're returned to
China, the marshal said.
The Emperor learned of the exc
cutions when they were reported
by the army chief of staff, the late
Field Marshal Gen. Sugiyama.
Hirohito then ordered no further
killings.
AS commander in chief, Hata said
he received only final reports on
the China executions and was not
sure in my own mind whether this
was a good policy" However, he
took no disciplinary action.
Hata was one of the three men
who named Hideki TOTO as War
Minister in 1910 as the unanimous
choice of the army"
AT the time there was no other
man." Hata declared. He said TOTO
who is still his good friend
did only what any other leader
would have done under the circum-
stances"
Hata said Japan felt it had to OBJ
tain oil and the failure of economic
with the United States
in 194l left force the "only alterna-
tive He woe Wor NGipictor of tho
time.
The field marshal, who survived
the atomic bombing of Hiroshima,
also asserted that "as long as the
United States hangs on to the
atomic bomb no other nation will
start aggression and, therefore, peace
will be assured, but I do not know
what will happen if other nations
acquire the bomb"

of an Embassy document, ar
