Governor, if Called by
Probe, Faces Questions
On Extent of information
BY J. A. OLEARY and
CARTER BROOKE JONES,

Senator Lucas, Democrat, of
Illinois, a member of the Pearl
Harbor Investigating Commit
tee, announced yesterday that if
Gov. Thomas e. Dewey of New
York is called as a witness, he
will ask him what information
he had about the cracking" of
the Japanese code by this Gov
ernment and where he got it.
Senator Lucas earlier had drawn
from 1t. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow
former chief of the Army's War
Plans Division, an expression OF
opinion that any military officer
who deliberately disclosed the secret
in wartime would deserve the death
penalty. Later, the Senator told
reporters that he had asked the
question to lay the groundwork for
a possible interrogation of Gov.
Dewey. The 1914 Republican presi-
Dental candidate is on the list of
witnesses, but there has been no
indication when he might be called.
Boise Not in Area.
Other developments yesterday as
the hearings entered their second
month we're:
l. The widely circulated story
that the cruiser Boise sighted the
japanese task force that was on
its way to Pearl Harbor was dis
counted when committee counsel
produced the log of the warship
showing she was 1,400 miles away
at the time.
2. Reliable sources at the Capito
reported that some members of
Congress were considering the pos
sibility of trying to work out an
agreement to complete the hearings
by the end of January These same
sources were hopeful that the COM
mittee's legal staff, who plan tc
resign after the Christmas holidays
might be persuaded to remain fol-
another 80 days if there was some
prospect of finishing the inquiry in
that time.
8. Another memorandum from the
late President Roosevelt to Winston
Churchill on August 18, 1941, was
produced by committee counsel. II
quoted the President as believing
the warning he served on Japan
against further aggression the day
before was mo less vigorous" than
the heads of the two governments
had discussed at the famous At
lantic Charter meeting.
Had Other Information.
Two letters from Gen. George C.
Marshall, wartime chief of staff, tc
Gov. Dewey, delivered by a con-
fidential staff officer, have been
placed in the committee records.
In these letters Gen. Marshall asked
the Governor, then the Republican
candidate for President, not to re-
veal the code secret in any cam
paign speeches, and described 1t
as vital to the success of our wal
in the Pacific.
Explaining the letters, Gen. Mar
shall told the committee Gov.
Dewey refused to read the first one
saying he had certain information
from other sources and was not
willing to bind himself. In the Sec
ond letter, the chief of staff modi-
fled his request by agreeing that the
Governor need not pledge himself
to withhold any information which
he had not received directly from
Gen. Marshall. Mr.. Dewey then

knowledge on Secret State Shinto 10 End
Code Sought by Lucas Compulsory Religion
Severance of All Ties
With Government Leaves
Sect Itself Unaffected
Ey the Associated Press.

TOKYO, Sunday, Dec. 16.-
Gen. Macarthur today ordered
state Shintoism abolished in
Japan to destroy the compulsory
religious theology which his staff
asserted led the nation into war
and defeat.
With the expressed aim of freeing
people from direct or indirect COM
pulsion" to believe in "manufac-
tured" religion, the Allied directive
laid down a program of broad revi-
sion. calling for:
/. Withdrawal of all government
control and support of state Shinto-
"the way of the gods"
2. Purging of militaristic and ul-
tra-nationalistic idealogy from doc
trine of the cult which breaches an
cestor worship and deifies the en-
peror. -..
8. Removal of Shinto teachings
from schools.
Allied officers emphasized that to-
days action, carrying out the policy
announced recently by the State
Department, involves state Shinto-
ism but does not affect the sectsof
Shinto which, in 1941, had an esti-
mated 100000 adherents. Nor is
it an attempt, they said. OF dictate
religious beliefs of any kind to the
japanese.
100000 Considered Members.
However. the entire population OF
10000, 900 is considered members of
state Shinto, in cluding $4,000, ,00O
Buddhists and 315.0OO Christians.
Brig. Gen. Ken r. Dyke, who de-
scribed development of state Shinto
as "a mastery job of promotion,
said Gen. MacArthur's order liber-
ates the japanese from compulsory
support of the theology which has
contributed to their war guilt, de-
feat, suffering, privation and the
present deplorable condition"
Gen. Dyke is chief of the infor-
nation and education section which
drafted terms of the new religious
freedom in Japan. In a statement
for the japanese press, he said all
creedS, religions and faiths are
placed on exactly the same legal
basis.
"Shinto shrines that have a real
religious following" he said. will
be able to exist on voluntary con-
tributions."
Emperor May Continue Worship.
Navy 1t. William K. Bunce, former
professor of oriental history and
dean of Otterbein College, who pre-
pared the text of the directive, ex-
pressed belief at a press conference
that action in divorcing Shinto
from government control would
cause its influence to wane.
Asked whether steps affecting the
japanese conception of the En-
peror's divinity we're contemplated
Gen. Dyke said he could not answer
that question at this time.
He added that he saw no reason
why the Emperor should not con-
tinue to worship at the Grand
Shrine of Ise, to which Hirohito
journeyed recently to report wars
end to his ancestors. In the future,
however, the Emperor cannot be ac-
companied by state officials.
The Emperor is still the spiritual
head OF Japan" said the general.
Under the heading of militaristit
a nd ultra-nationalistic theology
which must be abolished are doc
trines that the emperor is superior
to heads of other states" and the
Japanese superior to other peoples

the note said.
1T is indeed a matter of great
regret to have been named as a wal
criminal by the United States with

No sooner had the reports been
made public, adding the names of
Gen. George c. Marshall, Adm.
Harold c. Stark and former Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull to those
of Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short and
Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel for
failure to take proper precautions,
than Chairman May (Dem., Ky.) of
the house military affairs committee
declared he would not stand for
"any whitewash." The people are
entitled to know the whole truth
based on all the facts, he said.
On the other side Of congress,
Senator Taft (Rep., Ohio) asserted
the reports left a lot to be told,
and full evidence studied by the
courts of inquiry should be revealed
now that military security no long
er is involved.
Issuance of the report had other
repercussions, too. President Harry
S. Truman and Secretary of War
Henry Stimson took strong excep-
ton to the censure of General Mar
shall, the two terming criticism Of
the army chief Of staff entirely un-
justified" while praising his "great
skill, energy and efficiency"
throughout the Pearl Harbor epi-
sode.
In naming General Marshall, the
investigators charged he failed to
keep General Short, Hawaiian army
commander, fully advised as to the
growing tenseness of the Japanese
situation; failed to send him addi-
tional instructions after the U. S.
ultimatum to Tokyo made war in
evitable; failed to furnish him on
the evening of December 6 and
morning of December with critical
intelligence indicating a rupture of
relations with Nippon, and failed to
look into and determine the state Of
readiness in Hawaii during the crit
ical period.
Then chief of naval operations but
since retired, Admiral Stark was
censured for delaying warning of
an impending attack on Pearl Har-
Dor by sending it by cable rather
than telephone. The two hours diff
ference in transmission would have
enabled the navy to make prepara-
tions for the assault.
In singing out Hull, the boards
averred that he might have conduct

Well heeled to meet reconver-

WAR CRIMES:
List Defendants

Not as blustery as he was when
Germany ruled the European roost,
Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering
topped the list of "a Nazis sched-
uled for trial as war criminals ear
ly in October.
Named with Goering was a gal
axy of former Nazi bigwigs accused
of preparing the nation financially
and industrially for war; scheming
automatically for advantage; regi-
menting the nation internally, and
leading the German armed legions
into attack.
Next to Goering, Rudolph Hess,
Hitler's choice for his successor be-
fore he flew to Scotland in a vain
effort to receive Allied support for
an attack on Russia, heads up the
list of defendants. Close behind are
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, who, as
foreign minister, directed Nazi
diplomacy; Martin Bormann, head.
of the peoples army; Franz Won
Papen, big shot in German politics
and master of international in
trigue; Adm. Karl Doenitz, who di-
rected U-boat warfare, and Field
Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of
the wehrmacht.
Joint U. S., British, Russian
and French plans to try the ac-
cused before an international
military tribunal in the former
Nazi shrine of Nuremberg, how
ever, did not meet with the full
approval of many distinguished
members of the American Bar
association.
Declaring that Allied procedure
was without historical precedent, P.
F.. Gault, constitutional and inter-
national law expert, said the sys-
tenn of trial offered dangerous pat
tern which might be followed in the
future against the. President Of the
u. S. down to ordinary citizens. I'm
der procedure established, trials
may be held outside the presence of
the accused, no appeal is provided
against judgment; the tribunal may
admit any evidence it wishes, and
also determine the relevancy of tes-
timony.

.JAPAN:
Macs Sho,U

Cool as a cucumber, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur stepped from a trans
port plane at Japan's Atsugi air.
drome 20 miles southwest of Tokyo,
smoking his large, corncob pipe.
Stopping to look around, he saw the
field abuzz with activity, as men,
bers Of the 18th air borne division,
landing from scores of aircraft,
busted themselves for the occupa-
ton.
Evidently pleased, Japan's new
boss then made his way forward,
stopping to greet Lieutenant Cen
eral Eichelberger, chief Of the
U. S. 9th army, which had fought in
the Philippines. Hello, Bob," were
his first words upon his historic
landing on enemy soil.
In landing to take over control of
Japan, U. S. forces looked upon an
extensive scene of devastation in
Tokyo and Yokohama, scorched by
repeated BIG and naval carrier
raids. Unlike Europe where splin-
tered masonry cluttered every
thing, charred hulks and ashes were
all that remained from thousands of
Oriental frame buildings. Whole
areas were burned out, with only
buildings enconpassed by spacious
walks, lawns or clearings spared
from the roaring flames which once
swept block upon block.
Despite the widespread damage,
Japanese held their heads high in
contrast to the Germans, who had
humbled themselves in an effort to
please their conquerors. Peering
from windows as G.I.s streamed by,
or walking the streets, or setting
up temporary shelters from salvaged
tin, the little brown people remained
perfectly composed with typical
Oriental indifference.
Promising to match MacAr-
thurs landing at Atsugi airfield
in sheer drama was the sched-
uled surrender cerem0 0nies
aboard the USS Missouri in
Tokyo bay, with 1t. Gen. Jona-
than Wainwright, rescued from
a prison camp in Manchuria,
present to witness the capitula-
ti0n of the naughty imperial stan
which dictated terms to him up
on the fall of CorregidOr over
three years ago.

Asks Write-Of

In asking congress to write off the
AZ billion dollar lend-lease program,
constituting Is per cent Of the total
u. S. war expense, President Harry
S. Truman declared that adequate
repayment not only had been made
by recipients through their wal. ef-
forts, but also through their agree
ment to promote international trade
through lowering of tariff and 9TH
er barriers.
Further, the chief executive said
that if so huge a debt were to be
added to the financial obligations al
ready incurred by Allied nations,
it would react disastrously upon our
own trade, decreasing production
and employment at home.
Whereas there once was talk that
the U. S. would retake tanks, trucks
or machine tools lend-leased, top Of
ficials said, little of such material
will be retrieved since reclamation
would only add to the mounting
stockpiles Of war surplus in this
country. OF the AZ billion dollars of
lend-lease, against which the U. S.
obtained only 5k billion dollars in
corresponding aid, half was in mill
tary supplies and the remainder In
civilian goods like food.
