what's really happening"
 Calls Testimony Lie
 "Yahashita never came to grand fathers house." Romero said when asked about Galang's testimony.
 Romero stuck to his story under a feeble prosecution cross -examnia- tion, flaring up once to shout that Galangs testimony was "a lie."
 Then he added tearfully:
 T came here today to prove that Yamashita and my grandfather never talked
 When he stepped down from the witness chair, Yamashita nodded and smiled at the boy.
 His testimony was the only bright spot for Yamashita in an otherwise unbroken line of prosecution wit nesses called in to swear to the mass murder and rapeine carried out by the Japanese in and around Manila.
 Orgy Stories Continued
 Rosa Calalang and Francisco Cruz testified that Yamashita's men herded 4,000 to 5000 civilians into the Manila cathedral on Feb. 5, 1914, and went on wild spree of slaugh- ter and rape all that night.
 The following morning, all the male survivors were taken out of the church, including the two women's husbands, and were never seen again, they said.
 Clyde A. Dewitt, Long Island, N. Y, lawyer who was interned in the Los Banos prison camp during the Japanese occupation, told how two Americans, Patrick Held and George James Lewis, were shot to death for smuggling food into the camp.
 Lewis, former employe of Pan American Airways, was wounded while trying to slip into the camp and the Japanese commandant or dered him to be "shot again as many times as necessary until he was dead" Dewitt said.
 Escapes Blazing Pyre
 Jose Habana said he was bayon- cited seven times and tossed onto a blazing funeral pyre with 500 mur- dered civilians in the town of Ca- lamba last February, but he escaped More than 1000 Filipinos were al- legged to have been killed in Calam- ba and neighboring towns in La guna province.
 Fausta Barrera, a 40-year- Filipino woman who lived in La guna province, said she and her si, children were taken from theil house and bayonetted by the Jap- anese.
 Five of my children died" she sobbed. My nine-month-old baby was ripped open by bayonet and carried it with its intestines drag ging out"
 She radiated hatred for Yama- shita throughout her testimony, and when she left the stand she stood glaring at the Tiger of Malaga and screaming imprecations until silenced by the court.

Von Ribbontrop' s Wife Still Bitter OUer Loss Of War
QueruIous Hog Rehoshes Nozi PhiIoso-
 phy; Denies Having Controlled Husbond; Hopes to See Acused Mon on Christmos
By ANN SPRINGER

Nuernberg, Nov. 13.-(UP)-An- nelies von Ribbentrop was a bitter woman today-bitter because Ger many had lost the war, thing she never dreamed of when she was rid ing high as the wife of the Nazi foreign minister.
 A querulous hag of woman whose face is horribly disfigured from 14 sinus operations, her thinking was equally distorted as she rehashed Nazi philosophy and expressed re- gret only that she was on the losing side.
 T talked with Mrs. Ribbentrop in the gloomy sitting room of a bomb-pocked apartment building where she lives with her sister not far from the Nuremberg prison where her husband awaits trial as a war criminal.
 Never Believed Defeat
 T thought Germany would never lose" she said. T thought when a war was lost, I would be dead. I never thought We would live if it were lost. One could not think that the war would be lost"
 Annelies Henkell was the daugh- ter of German champagne mag nate whose star salesman-before he became foreign minister-was Joachim von Ribbentrop. The diplo- mat-to-be married the boss daugh- for and cha hoe saying in the Nazi circles that she dictated Ribbentrop's internal pol icy while Adolf Hitler master minded his foreign policy.
 The Ribbentrops, she said. never paid any attention to Allied an- nouncements that war criminals would be tried.
 To PhilOsophize Left
 Now I plilosophize else can you expect, once you have lost a war" she said.
 The room was cold and there was not even glimmer from the great title stove in the sitting room. Mrs. Ribbentrop wore black satin dress and red scarf. She was knitting scarlet pullover sweater.
 We sat at table on which was small bowl Of fading chrysanthe- nuns. The harsh glara of an over head light beat on her scared face as she lamented the fate of the Nazis.
 Only Listened to Fuehrer
 She said she never read the news papers and never listened to the radio-except when the FuehreY spoke.
 Everyone says was rich and ambitious. and that I dictated what my husband did" she said. That IS untrue. I knew nothing of his business and political affairs"
 Asked whether she or her hus- band knew about the Nazi concen- tration camps and what was going on in them, she said:
 Everybody has heard of Dachau and the horrible things happening tnere. Concentration camps, after all' are something which come with war. Look who invented them-it was the English in the Bosr wars. T
 Hopes to Visit Husband
 She said she last saw Ribbentron on April l5, when she left Berlin with their oldest daughter, Bettina g.
 Then We thought that We were alI coming south, and that my hus- oand would follow within a few days. The other children were at kitzouehl, except the oldest. Ru- ooli' who was an SS captain and now is a prisoner of war"
 Mrs. Ribbentrop said she hoped she would be allowed to see her husband at Christmas time. She observed that by German law. pris. one:s are allowed to see their wives at Christmas.

A GREAT ARTIST

Of the evening was the appear

Not since Chaliapin has there
been a Russian bass 10 compare

Goudonoff' with the power and
Intensity of this great artist.
Therefore. IL was particularly
thrilling 10 hear him in the eX-
ecrpts from the Moussorgsky
opera which he sang last night.
Kreuger and the orchestra used
the Rimsky- korsakov orchestra
ton, rather than the new Shosta-
kovich arrangement, and IT was
brilliantly performed. both by the
soloist and the orchestra.
Particularly the Hallucination
Scene and the final Death Scene

cry proved incompatible.

SAN FRANCIsCO.-Right now
European economists admit they
have absolutely no idea what their
various currencies are worth; the
Norwegian crown, the French franc,
the Czech crown, and so on.
It's much discussed matter at
the United Nations Conference, al
though it is not an item before the
conference.
The French point out, for in-
stance, that their franc right now
is figured at so to the United States
dollar, (making it worth two Amer
ican cents, through an arrange
ment with the American Army. But
the government doubts it is actually
worth that much in relation to
other world currencies.
In settling the value Of the franc
the government is faced with two
opposing conditions, once world
trade sets in again.
Trade to Be Affected.
Its people will go back to work,
they will begin to ship abroad again
their wines, perfumes, laces, gloves,
and so on. They'll be paid in other
currencies - the Mexican peso,
American and Canadian dollars.
British pound. Then they can begin
to buy the things they need: Amer
lean machines, Canadian wheat,
British overcoats, Mexican silver,
and SO on.
Suppose they keep the franc at
two cents, and buy a $1,000 Ameri-
