Pledge 10 Japs Keep,
Marines in China,
Byrnes Explains
Must Assist Soldiers
Repatriation, He Says;
Involvement Minimized

Secretary of State Byrnes said
today that American Marines
are in strife-torn North China
because of a promise to the jap
aneSe government last August to
help in the surrender and re-
patriation of Japanese soldiers
there.
This was the first disclosure OF
a pledge to the Japanese to use
American forces in China to help
get Japanese troops home.
Heretofore the American Govern
ment position has been that it was
helping an ally, the government OF
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek, to
rid China of defeated enemy forces
Questioning of Mr.. Byrnes started
at news conference when he was
reminded by newsmen that two
weeks ago he had said that plans
were under way for withdrawal Of
the Marines from China.
He said his information now is the
same as it was then.

ing in North China have been exag.
gerated.
Admitting that the situation
nevertheless, is unfortunate, he
emphasized that the Marines are
there only to help carry out the
japanese surrender. He said his
latest information is that approx
imately 100000 japanese soldiers
remain in North China.
Under the Potsdam declaration
and subsequent assurances to the
japanese government, American
forces are committed to seeing that
japanese soldiers are returned tc
Japan.

Stadium Committee
Decides 10 Finance
Planning Privately
Possibility Of Congress
Providing Funds Slight,
Group Is Informed

A decision to finance privately
the architectural and engineer
ing plans for the proposed ma
tional stadium here instead OF
depending on any grant from
Congress for the purpose, was
reached today by the National
Stadium Committee.
The committee, composed of Dis
trict civic leaders, reached its de-
cision after it was informed that
there was little chance of Congress
allocating any money for planning
the stadium
Floyd D. Akers, general chairman
of the committee, expressed conf
dence that private capital can be
obtained both to plan and construct
the stadium within three years. It
is estimated that $150,0o0 will be
needed for planning.
A joint resolution proposing to
advance or loan the National Me-
mortal Stadium Commission enough
money to complete the planning
stages, now is pending in Congress
Mr.. Akers' group was advised that
there is slight chance that the reso-
luton will be approved.
The National Stadium Committee
announced it would seek a bill in
Congress by which the Government
would lease or conditionally contrac,
the needed land to the group in
charge of the project.
The proposed site is the East
Capitol street area near the Ma.

Acting almost "a hours before the
deadline for the truce's end at mid
night tonight, the 1000 union op-
orators voted for the walkout rather
than accept arbitration proposed by
the conciliators and approved by the
company and a union Negotiating
Committee.
Transit company officials were
quick in issuing statement de-
Tending their position in the face
of union demands for a 30-cent-an-

Deploring the unions refusal to
accept arbitration, the company
said "it did not consider reasonable

increase in hourly rates at this
time. while the company offers to
stipulate a work week of 48 hours

Today's strike followed refusal Of
approximately 1000 union members
to accept a proposal by Labor De-
partment conciliators and approved
by the Capital Transit Co., to place
the dispute in arbitration.
Proposal Is Booed.
Booing the arbitration proposal
as inadequate, the transit workers
voted to remain in continuous meet
ing until their demands for a 30
cent-an-hour wage increase are met.
The meeting in Turner's Arena was
recessed until l pm. today.
The company statement said that
in offering to incorporate bonus of
Z cents an hour in the base rate Of
$1.02 (instead of the 30-cent raise
asked by the union) the company
was paying an hourly wage greater
than that paid for comparable work

NUREMBERG, Nov. 21.-Justice
Robert H. Jackson, chief Amer
ican prosecutor opening Amer
ica's case against the 20 Nazi
war lords facing the Interna-
tional War Crimes Tribunal, SAID
today the Germans planned as
far back as 1910 to attack the
United States.
He said Nazi records also dis
closed that the Japanese planned to
aSSassinate Marshal Stain in 1893
through the use of Russian traitors
Heinrich Himmler, Nazi leader
left a written record of a CONVEX
sation with Gen. Oshima, Japanese
Ambassador at Berlin, on January
81, 1899, Mr.. Jackson said. In that
record Himmler wrote: He (Osh-
ima) had succeeded up to now to
send 10 Russians with bombs across
the Caucasian frontier. These Rus
slams had the mission to kill Stain.
A number of additional Russians,
whom he also had sent across, had
been shot at the frontier"
Plead Innocent to Charges.
In rapid-fire order the once
powerful Nazis pleaded innocent to
charges of engulfing the world in
bloodbath. In his opening TO-
000-word statement to the court
Justice Jackson promised that the
defendants would be convicted by
the Nazis' own meticulously kept
records.
Mr.. jackson talked all day, ex-
cept for the brief pleadings at the
start and during a futile maneuver
of defense lawyers to have the whole
trial quashed.
Reading from German records, he
said German Gen. Falkenstein wrote
on October 20, 1910, that "the Fueh-
rer is at present occupied with the
question of occupation of Atlantic
Islands with a view to prosecution
of the war against America at q
later date"
In March, 1941. Justice Jackson
said, Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel
chief of the German high command
issued a secret directive that "the
Fuehrer had ordered instigation OF
Japan's active participation in the
war;
Hectic 10 Minutes.
The court knocked the main de-
fense prop from under the Nazi
chieftains when it abruptly denied
their claims that they could not be
tried for war guilt under existing
international law.
The defense pleas were entered ir
hectic 10 minutes, with responses
varying from the dog-like bark Of

time deputy, to a passionate reply
of mot guilty in the eyes of God
from Baldur Won Schirach, Hitler
youth chief.
The dramatic high point of the
morning session was reached wher
Lord Justice Godfrey Lawrence
presiding, called the defendants for
ward one by one, warning them tt
plead merely innocent or guilty anc
to refrain from speeches which they
would be permitted to make later.
Despite the warning, Hermann

Strike, Lockout Ban
In Contract Disputes
Urged on Conference
Arbitration Offered
To Settle Differences
Over Interpretation
BULLETIN.

Legislation penalizing labor
unions that violate no-strike
contracts was sent to the
House today for prompt &C
ton. The Rules Committee
voted to send the bill to the
floor although opponents said
it would stab labor in the
back" The measure had been
approved earlier, 10 to 9. by
the House Military Affairs
Committee.
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.
A committee Of the National
Labor Management Conference
made public today a report rec
oinmending the banning OF
strikes and lockouts over inter-
probation of work contracts and
providing for arbitration to set
tie such issues finally.
The report was submitted to the
conference Executive Committee
and later was withdrawn, spokes-
man said, so committee members
could make minor changes in
wording.
Collective bargaining agreements,
the report said, should contain pro-
visions that grievances and disputes
involving Interpretation or applica-
ton of terms should be settled with
out resort to strikes, lockouts or
other interruptions to normal opera
tions by an effective grievance pro-
cedure with arbitration as it's final
step.
Arbitration Stressed.
The report also recommended
that in renewing contracts, compa-
nies and unions also should make
use of voluntary arbitration where
negotiations fail.
The specific form of arbitration tc
be used was left up to the individual
participants in a contract. The
committee said arbitration coulc
take the form of an impartial chair.
man, umpire or board to resolve
differences between management,
and unions.
In any event, the report stated
the decision should be accepted BY
both parties as final and binding.
No Penalties Mentioned.
There was no provision in the re.
port for assessment of penalties in
case q no-strike, no-lockout CLAUSE
was violated.

Our Insignia Misused

according to Secretary of State
Byrnes, it has been American pol
icy for some time past to make clear
to recipient countries that lease
lend equipment is not to be used
in the postwar period in any way
likely to create political complica-
tions for us. Nevertheless, such
equipment has been SO used in more
than a few places-in Lebanon, in
Indo-C China, by those who engi-
neered the recent coup in Venezuela
and by the Dutch and British
against the Indonesian rebellion in
Java.
Perhaps this has been more or
less inevitable. With our lease-lend
tanks, trucks, guns, etc., already on
the scene in many trouble spots of
the world, the side having physical
control of them is naturally in
clined to employ them if necessary.
Nor Is it easy for us-as the orig
inal supplier-to do much more
about the matter than what Mr..
Byrnes has just done in requesting
the British and Dutch governments
to remove the American insignia
from any equipment being used
against the Indonesian rebels. Such
action does not specifically put the
United States on record Is disap-
