CRIMINALS SLATED


 LONDON, May 11-A highly re- liable source said today that Rudolph Hess, Heinrich Himmler and Hermann Goering all have been listed by the United Nations as war criminals and there is strong possibility that Grand Admiral Karl Doenitz also will have to face trial for his life.
 This informant estimated that between 100000 and 6,OOO,0OO Germans might be forced to atone for their nations atrocities if the proposed plan of pool punishment is adopted by the victorious powers.
 Hess and Goering both are pris- oners and both were Hitler's depu- ties. Himmler, the hangman head of the Gestapo, is fugitive.
 The machinery for determining the guilt or innocence of the top ranking Nazis awaits creation by the United States, Russia, Britain and France.
 The issue was referred to their Foreign Secretaries for working out details.
 These facts were learned, how ever:
 Trials under present plans will be public, on the theory that these will prove the best lesson possible to convince the German people of their errors.
 2-Neutral nations will be denied place on the bench.
 3EStrong sentiment exists for the trial of industrialists who used slave labor, as well as those who formulated the policies which made such conscription of foreigners pos sible.
 The War Crimes Commission has headquarters here and has 1t members. Russia is not one of them.

Associated Press War Correspondent Japan tried to strengthen it's polit- ical position in threatened corners of it's crumbling empire today as some 200 Superforts thundered over six targets on the home islands in daily preview of predicted 2,o00 plane raids against Nippon.
 All Tokyo spokesmen appeared to agree there was mo alternative" l for the Mikado's war lords but to continue fighting despite slow attri- ltion of their armed forces on every island front and a threatened de- bacle in China.
 Chinese Trap Japs
 A Chinese Army spokesman re- ported that sweeping Chinese counter offensive has trapped tholls- ands of Japanese and killed off at least third of the 80,000 invaders who began driving toward the U. s. Chihkiang Air Base in Western China month ago He said Nippon csc reserves were thrown into the lines as Chinese columns closed pincers 40 miles from Paoching. main springboard of the abortive Japanese offensive.
 Significant Conference
 Japan's overall position was con- sidered in significant meeting of five former Premiers and other elder statesmen with Premier Kantara Suzuki. Ire session had scarcely broken up when Japanese broadcasts reported political prisoners would be released in Thailand, civilian sup port was asked in Sumatra to consolidate the wartime structure" and the Mikado's Ambassador to Indo-China had been called home hurriedly for conferences.
 Three Wave Strike
 Superforts following up yesterdays initial and successful 400 plane raid against Japan's home island oil SUD- ply sources. struck in three waves today. The heaviest blow was against the Kawanishi seaplant plant near Kobe. Japan's largest The two other strikes were directed in the morning and at dusk against Kyushu Island, where three air. fields and war industries at Miya- kanojo and Nittigahara were bon1b- ed
 Naval Plant Hit
 Simultaneously the Twentieth Air Force reported photographs showed previous raids had knocked out about 80 percent of the Tcvhn plant in the Tokyo area.
 On the closest battlefront to Japan the Sixth Marine Division bridged and crossed the Asa River on the west coast of Okinawa. It was the biggest gain of four U s. Divisions on the front where 38.857 Japanese have been killed.
 Suicide Plane Attack
 Two Fleet Auxiliaries off Okin- ava were damaged in renewed Jap anese suicide plane attacks, one - which missed Rear Adm. Lawrence F. Reifsnider's flagship by a few feet.
 There was no further report of an isolated American battalion on Mindanao Island of the Southern Philippines. where other Twenty fourth Division units were systemat- ically reducing Japanese strong points.

PROSECUTION FOR WAR CRIMES E
 BEING PLANNED
Organizations as We'll as Individuals Going to
 Face Trial
By Jack Bell

SAN FRANCISCO, May 11-An American proposal to try organiza- tions as well as individuals for war crimes was interpreted today as opening a legal road for the use of forced labor in rebuilding war devastated Europe.
 The proposition was reported re- ceiving favorable consideration from representatives of Britain, Russia and France assembled here for the United Nations Conference. Presumably it was taken back to Moscow by Soviet Foreign Con- missar Molotov.
 Acting as the personal repre- sentative of President Truman, Judge Samuel I. Rosenman worked with Secretary of State Stettinius in discussing the program with Foreign Ministers and their aides.
 The State Department disclosed the plan which calls for organiza- tion of an International Military Tribunal to try the major indi- viduals and organizations accused of atrocities and war crimes in Europe.
 State Department officials ex- plained that presumably the Nazi party or any of it's adjuncts-and conceivably the German Army could be charged before such a court with war crimes. If the or ganizations were convicted, the members then would become sub- ject to penalties.
 Thus, if the German SS organi- zation were found guilty, it's indi- vidual members might be sentenced to hard labor in reconstruction work in Russia, France and Eng land.
 Such an arrangement would give court backing to use of Germans to rebuild what they had de- stroyed

NACASAkI 30 PERCENT
 DESTROYED
Thirteen Important Fdtfor- ies Wiped Out by
 New Bomb

GUAM, Aug. 11.-Thirty percent of Nagasaki, including some of Japan's greatest wartime planes. was ob- liberated by the atomic bombing of Thuisday, tho Army Strategic Air Forces announced today.
 At least 13 important factories were wiped out or badly damaged and almost all of the Kyushu sea- ports industrial district was de- stroyed, but the demolition still was considerably less than that in the first atomic bomb attack which rag ed 60 per cent of Hiroshima on Monday.
 The results were announced by General Spaatz after experts studied photographs taken over Nagasaki 5esterday, 24 hours or more follow ng the bombing. Prior photographs had showed only funereal pillar of ;moke ringed by fires.
 The pictures showed great crat- l WAiCAC ttlC OOlllO btl uCh. IACJul Co If Hiroshima showed no crater. The Japanese said that both bombs were dropped by parachute but that the me at Hiroshima exploded in the air. This might account for the greater damage done at Hiroshima.
 Another possibility, suggested by 5paatz, was the geography of Naga- 5aki, where the 253,00o population live in irregularly- shaped districts reaching up low valleys from the sea and along the Urakami River
 Destruction nevertheless was 2i gantic. Spaatz said in a press re- lease that the pictures showed .9S of square mile of the built-up area of the city had been destroyed. This was about 30 per cent of the total built-up area of 3.3 square miles
 Damage to war industries which Spaatz said played an important part in building the Japanese mili- tary machine" was placed at 20 to 100 per cent.

TAKING NO CHANCE ON
 JAPANE5E
U. 5. Forces in Pacific 10 Fight Right Up 10
 Surrender

GUAM, Aug. .11.-Allied forces in the Pacific will continue the attack right up to the Japanese surrender and then will stand guard against new Japanese ''treachery,' Admiral Nimitz said today.
 Unless otherwise specifically di- rected," by the high command, of- fensive action in the vast Pacific Ocean areas will continue, Nimitz said in statement which warned that vigilance against further enemy attacks and "treachery" should be exercised even in the event of a complete surrender.
 The statement was issued at the close of day in which both the Superfortresses of the Strategic Air Forces and the carrier planes of the Pacific Fleet were inactive. Earlier, however, the Navy had said that the fact Admiral Halsey was not striking with his powerful Third Fleet was according to previously land opera tional plans
 [ General Spaatz simply announced "B-29s are not flying today"
 The decision to keep up the of fensive against Japan, unless count ermanded by higher authority, promised new blows would be de- livered to the Japanese homeland by the powerful carrier force which presumably is cruising in Japanese home waters and by the Super fortresSeS.
 In what may prove to have been the last naval strike of this war, Admiral Halsey's carrier plots of Task Force 38 destroyed or dam aged at least 523 Japanese planes in successive day-long sweeps over northern Honshu Thursday and Fri day, raising their July August total to more than 1900.

MANILA. Aug. 11.-General Mec- Arthur, assigned the role of leading the U. s. Army against Japan, told cheering service men and women today he hoped this is the end of the war; = but his headquarters promptly announced the war goes on and the Far East Air Forces keep right on flying.
 Headquarters soberly emphasized scheduled missions are being carried out by FEAT. which recently began pounding southern Japan from bases on Okinawa
 T hope from the bottom of my heart that this is the end of the war; the five-star general said from the balcony of his office to soldiers and WACs who had been celebrating in the streets the news Japan has offered to surrender.
 If it is. it is due largely to your own splendid efforts. Very shortly, I hope, we will all be going home.'

ARMY READY
 TO REDUCE
 SIZE v-DAY

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The Army has V-J plan for dcmobiliz- ation, 1t was learned today. Details are top secret but informed sources fipure on a reduction to 5000, 900 men year after surrender.
 Informed sources speculated trnt in event of peace current demobiliz- stion will be stepped up but that no wide-scale discharges will take place until the Japanese homeland and i'landJ formerly Japanese-held have been occupied.
 Tn otber words, the Army will take no chances on the failure of any bclligerent Japanese to comply with surrender. A Japanese army of pro- bably 100000 will have to be dis armed in the Japanese home islands alone.
 Tn the meantime, it is probable the Army will make every effort to release promptly approximately 55o.- 900 men eligible under the point system. Already it has mustered out 25O,0O0 who built up 85 points through combat. long service and dependency.
 The Army also is expected to make a substantial cut in the crit ical point score so that possibly 2.000 900 men i'll all will receive point system discharges.
 This would leave a force of about C,000,000. If all goes well in the initial phases of occupying Japa- nose territory. informed sources be- lieve that half or more of that num- Der could be discharged within a year.
 The remainder would form the oc- cupation forces in Germany and Japanese areas. man outpost garri- sons in Alaska and elsewhere, keep the supply chain moving and pro- vide reserve in this country. At present the occupation force in Germany is fixed at 100000 and military experts estimate that 1t will take at last twice that num- Der to occupy Japan.

ATOM BOMB NO. 2 MORE
 POWERFUL
Observers Says Blast from Thursday Raid Far
 Greater

' GUAM, Aug. 1.-The worlds sec- ond atomic bomb, which Thursday was dropped on Nagasaki. was so explosive that 1t immediately rela- gated to the obsolete the first bomb, dropped two days earlier on Hiro- shima. Brig. Gen. Thcmas F. Far rell. head of the atomic bomb proj- ect in the Pacific said today.
 Atomic bomb No. 2 not only was far more potent. but was easier to make. Farrell said. He watched both bombings and said the blast from the second was far greater.
 Scientists who vert responsible for the manufacture of the bombs and who saw the fruitition of nearly four years of extensive toll in Santa Fe. N M, and Marianas Island lab oratories, and the crews of the B-29s that dropped the bombs all agreed that the feat was almost beyond their imaginations.
 Capt. Kermit K. Beahan, Houston, Tex. bombardier in the plane that bombed Nagasaki, which early re- ports say damaged 30 per cent of that city, said his trip was pretty rough because of bad weather, which forced his plane to abandon the primary target after three runs and to head for Nagasaki as a secondary target.
 Scientists were elated at the suc- cess of the atomic bombing. Dr. c. P. Baker of Ithaca, N. Y, former ly of the Cornell University staff, declared:
 "If this means the end of the war it is a wonderful realization of the work we put in on the project"
