Presidents S Policies
Criticized as Senate
Clashes Over Labor

Truman administration policies
are beginning to come in for critical
review in the Senate.
For the first time since Mr.. Tru-
man assumed the presidency, his
former colleagues-splitting on party
lines-indulged in brisk debate over
his course yesterday and observers
looked on the outburst as a certain
forerunner of others.
In the meantime, noticeable re-
duction in the size of the President S
calling list brought information from
White House sources that Mr.. Tru-
man was seeing fewer visitors In
order to give more attention to the
grave national and international
problems with which he is faced.
The Senate brush was stirred by
Senator Wiley, Republican, of Wis
consin, who criticized the current
labor meeting as being
unrepresentative of public, indepen-
dent organized labor and unorgan-
lied labor.
Had Urged Defense Pariey.
The Senator branched into this
attack after disclosing that he had
urged that national conference be
called by President Truman to draft
defense program, but had been
advised by the President that Con
gress should assume the RESPONSE
bility" for such a program.
Senator Wiley said he and many
OF his colleagues like President Tru-
man but find increasing dissatis-
faction yelling up in our minds on
the actions of Harry Truman the
statesman"
The President makes a wage
speech which goes up the hill and
back down again and leaves the sit
uation as badly muddled as before
he declared.
The President pleads for a pro-
gram which out-New Deals the New
Deal, which item for item sounds
like CIO handout. Spend, spend,
spend with never a heed as to where
and how the money is coming FROM
Called Partisan Attack.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico described the criticism of the
President as partisan attack.
Next to international peace !
think there is no more important
question before this country than
domestic peace in relations of labor
and capital" Senator Hatch said
L applaud the President for call
ing the conference regardless of
what the outcome is"
Senator Hatch said Mr.. Truman
was being criticized in the Senate
for the first time for lack of states

dent Roosevelt had been under fire.

neer with the Atlantic, Gulf g. Pa
ciflc Co., were identified beyond
doubt after they had been recovered
from large pit into which the
mutilated remains of at least 20 per-
sons had been dumped The victims
had been bound with wire into
groups of three or four. Apparently
the Japanese had attempted to be-
head them. he said.
Girls Feet Cut Off.
Earlier today the commission
heard Henry Keys, London Daily
Express correspondent. testify that
he saw hundreds of bodies of civil
ians piled around the st. Augustine
Church courtyard, in the Walled
City on February %.
Mr.. Keys said a Filipino girl with
both feet amputated told him Japa-
nese brutality cut them off with a
bayonet. He saw Chinese litter
bearers struggling to save emaciated
and wounded in an effort to get
them to American lir>es. He saw the
body of a small boy who been shot
through the back of the skull as he
knelt in the church.
Among other witnesses testifying
about the Intramuros' (walled city's)
bloody days preceding its recapture
by American forces, Candido
O'Campo, Catholic sister, said
japanese troops came inside the
convent at night looking for girls.
She said she helped bury at least
II persons killed by Japanese
snipers. -4

Yamashifa Planned
Starvation Of 4,OOO,.
American Testifies
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
:. MANILA, Nov. THE Japanese
operated Santo Tomas civilian
prison camp under a planned pro-
gram of starvation" for approx
mately 1000 internees, A. ". H.
Hartendorp, magazine editor,
testified today at the war crimes
trial of 1t. Gen. Tomoyuki. Yama-
.shita.
At least eight internees died of
starvation or malnutrition in the
last four months, of Japanese occu-
patton, he stated.
The Japanese commandant re-
fused to hear internees' complaints
because he said Japan did not
recognize the Geneva Convention.
Mr.. Hartendorp told the Amer
lean Military Commission hearing
charges that Yamashita permitted
wholesale brutalities by his COM
mand; that he own weight dropped
from ITO to 106 pounds, and that the
average weight loss of all internees
was 80 pounds.
Rations Steadily Cut.
He said conditions became stead
lily worse, with the Japanese COM
mandant making progressive cuts in
internees' rations In October, 1914,
the internees rations were reduced
to "only two meals day, which
further endangered our health, par
ticularly that of small children and
older people"
On cross-examination the former
editor said: "The Japanese ration
was better than ours, I'm certain,
because they looked much better
than any of us"
Mr.. Hartendorp, long time Ameri-
can resident of the islands, who
edited the prewar Philippine Maga-
zine, said Santo Tomas internees
received only three Red Gross pack
ages-the last on Christmas, 1943.
A bill of particulars covering the
Santo Tomas case from October 9,
1914, through the liberation Febru-
airy 2, 1945, charges the Japanese
with willful failure and refusal to-
provide food and medical supplies to
more than 5000 civilian internees.
1t also specifies that internee Ford
Wilkins, former city editor of the
Manila Bulletin and New York
Times correspondent, was beaten
and tortured. and charges the exc
cution without cause or trial" of
more than six internees for minor
infraction of rules"
InterneeS Named.
Among the six were Carol Grin !
nell, chairman of the camps internee
committee and representative of
General Electric International; AL

Calf, wealthy gold mine operator;
Clifford Larsen and B. B. johnson,
American businessmen.

ninth day, Thomas w. Poole, Cen
eral Electric employe from San
Pedro, Calf, testified to finding the
bodies of MI. Grinnell and others,
mutilated and bound with wires and
in bad state of decomposition, after
he was freed from Santo Tomas.

b. the Associated Press.

BY the ASsoclateC Press.
ATHENS, Jan. 5-Further discus
sions with left-wing ELIAS leaders
concerning their political griev-
ances were barred by the new Greek
government today pending ELIAS
compliance with the military terms
of 1t. Gen. Ronald M. Scobie, Brit
ish commander in Greece.
Gen. Scobie, whose troops are
now fighting to drive ELIAS forces
from Athens, has demanded that
the left-wingers lay down their arms
and leave the capital.
The new governments stand was
stated by Foreign Minister John
Sofianopoulos, who made it plain
that the first goal of Premier Gen
Nicholas Plastiras is to impose law
and order"
Soflanopoulos said that if Gen
Scobie's terms are accepted as "a
sign of the ELIAS good faith" the
PlaStiras government would well
come conference.
Soflanopoulos said that laying
down of arms bv the ELIAS in the
Athens area would be only a start
ing point, and that obviously lay
ing down of arms in all Greece Is
the next STEP" He emphasized
that the ELIAS represented a mi
nority"
BY making acceptance of Gen.
Scobie's terms prerequisite to fur
ther talks concerning the political
setup in Greece, Sofianopoulos fol-
lowed a line almost identical with
that pursued by the previous cabinet
OF George Papandreou.
His statement followed an appeal
by Plastiras to the ELIAS to lay
down arms. in the course OF which
the new Premier declared the COM
position of his government should
eliminate any fear over a dictator
ship.
Reassurances concerning the in
tentions of the new government also
