Yalnasihta Given Death Sentence

MANILA, Dec. 7-CP)-The five general military commission con victed the former Jap commander of the Philippines, Yamashita, of having permitted a "series> of atrocities and high crimes by the Japanese armed forces under your command" and passed the death sentence.
 Yamashita thus became the first top war criminal of the Pacific to be convicted and sentenced. Be fore hearing the verdict, the stocky defendant stood visibly nervous, while the interpreter read this statement to the court:
 "I wish to stand here today with a clear conscience and swear to God I am innocent of these charges. l wish to take this op- portunity to express my gratitude to the U. s. officers of defense for their brilliant upright defense, and I want to thank the commits sion for a fair trial"

PEARL HARb0R DAY

NEW YORK, Dec. 7-(P-Dr. E. Stanley Jones, Methodist mis- sionary, who described himself as a go-betWeen for Japanese envoys and the United States government in the days before Pearl Harbor, said today that the envoys made desperate attempts" to avert the war.
 The missionary who has spent many years in the Orient said it was at the suggestion of Jap rep resentatives transmitted to Presi- dent Roosevelt, by him, that the late President sent a last minute personal message to Emperor Hi rOhitO.
 In an article written for the December issue of the magazine in Asia and the Americas Doctor Jones said the envoys asked him to urge the President to send a cable to the Emperor as a final attempt to preserve the peace"

Responsibility For 4-Year Old Tragedy Still Uncertain

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7-(P)- Disclosure that President Roose- welt took a personal hand in get ting war warnings to the Philip pines in nineteen forty-one brought Republican demand that General MacArthur be called as a wintess in the Pearl Harbor in quiry.
 The demand came from Senator Homer Ferguson, Republican of Michigan, who said it was evident that General Macarthur, then commander of the Army Forces in the Philippines, received a great deal more information on the threat of hostilities than did Army and Navy commanders in Hawaii
 Roosevelt's role in war warn ings was developed during the questioning of Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles, pre-Pearl Harbor head of Army Intelligence. The message which Roosevelt sent on Novem- Der 26, 1941, to the United States Commissioner in the Philippines, was read into the record. It said in part: q consider it possible this next Japanese aggression might cause an outbreak of hos tilities between United States and Japan" Japan, Roosevelt said, ap- parently was preparing her forces for an aggressive move some where.

Stark, then Chief of Naval Operations, at first opposed the sending of such warn ings, after it became clear that trouble was brewing for United States on that day.
 Marshall told the Senate and House committee Investigating the attack that he called Stark back on the White House telephone however, and insisted on sending the messages. Then the Admiral acceded, Marshall said, and asked that the Army warnings be amended so naval officers in Pa cific outposts would be advised.

Existence of Crisis

Coal Conference Set

War Mobilization Director
John w. Snyder disclosed today
that the War Department al
ready has arranged for a tenn
porary furlough of about 1000
men to the railroad industry to
ease the transportation problem.
In revealing this, Mr.. Snyder de-
clared that "the impression that
there has been a breakdown or that
there is serious crisis in the Ma
tions transportation system is er-
roneous." and that there is certainly
no cause for alarm"
Mr.. Snyder said the furlough of
1000 former railroad men, together
with plans the Army announced last
night to expedite discharge of skilled
rail workers and to move from rs 600
to 10000 men across country by
plane, should lease the strain on the
roads and provide needed man.

Need Admittedly Great.

Army to relieve the rail situation as
some relief" and said he understood
it will be followed by another con-

The committee was told yesterday

that unless the Army releases 10000
former coal miners quickly. this
country will face the coldest winter

Expressing qualification that steps

August Butter Supply
.Up 10 Million Pounds;
Point Cut Ruled Out
Government Reduces
Set-Aside 10 Per Cent;
More Meat in Sight

About 100000 additional
pounds of creamery butter will
be available to civilians during
August as a result of a cutback
in Government purchase of but
ter, giving consumers a total OF
100, 100000 pounds during the
month, Secretary of Agriculture
Anderson announced today.
No further reduction in point
value for butter is anticipated how
ever. Price Administrator Bowles
said after Mr.. Anderson revealed
that the additional civilian supply
will be available because the Gov
ernment is reducing its Set-aside
from 80 to 20 per cent.
These developments followed word
from the Army that its food de-
mands have passed their peak and
that, as a result, meat require
ments next year will drop about
SOC, ,0O0, 900 pounds, or is per cent
The information was supplied the
Senate Small Business Committee
Production on Upswing.
Mr.. Anderson said the reduction
! in Government procurement was
made possibly by the fact that pro-
duction during July ran somewhat
higher than expected and that il
now appears likely that August
production also will run ahead oi
estimates. The July civilian allot-
ment was about 85,000,0 900 pounds.
The Army will take less domestic
butter as result of an arrange
ment to purchase some from Den.
mark for use in feeding American
troops in Europe. the Secretary said
Mr.. Bowles said the decision no,
to change butter point values was
made "in view of the recent point
reduction from "a to 16 points 9
pound" Mr.. Anderson said no de-
cision has been reached with regare
to the butter set aside for Sep.
tember.
