Jap Troops Bayoneted
Jap Children 10 Speed
Philippines Retreat
BY the Associated Press.

ny lut aoeoClbteu fItSS.
TOKYO, Dec. 1l.-Tokyo news
papers today. carried a story that
Japanese soldiers bayoneted 20
japanese children to death in the
Philippines because they impeded
the retreat of Japanese troops.
Mrs. Haru Tomohana, 20, who
lost four children, recounted that
on the morning of April 16, 1945,
Capt. Aoki summoned civilian
women who were fleeing with SOL
diers, into the mountains of Cebu
and told them:
Children under 10 years old shall
be disposed of tonight"
Kyodo news agency said Aoki is
in a prison of war camp on Min
danao in the Philippines.
At midnight the sleeping young
sters were awakened by soldiers.
Then we mothers were all forced
out of the tent at the point of
bayonets, Mrs. Tomahana con-
tinued. There were cries of mama
mingled with horrible screams.
Twelve children died that night,
three of them Mrs. Tomohana' s.
She managed to save her eldest son.
In early June Aoki ordered eight
remaining children killed because
of the food shortage. The women
decided to fee but were caught.
Right in front of our eyes our
children were mercilessly bayoneted
to death. The bodies were thrown
into hole and covered with mud.
Apparently the bayonets failed to
kill some of the children and pretty
little hands were sticking out from
the mud as if calling for help.
Il tore myself away from tie
arms Of the soldiers and rushed to
the mole 1 dug and dug with my
hands with all my might The SOL
diers just looked on, with their
bloody bayonets in their hands.

finding the bodies of eight children

u. 5. Troops in Iran
To Leave This Month;
WA May Run Airline
Ey the Associated Press.

ES the ASSoclateo Press.
An expedition of 1000 fresh Amer
lean troops recently sent into Iran
as requirements for high-point men
will be withdrawn this month along
with all other United States forces
there totaling under 1000.
This was learned at the State
Department last night in response to
inquiries. The department also
furnished as background informal
ton the fact that an estimated IS
600 Russian troops are now in North
ern Iran and upwards of 5000 Brit
ish combat soldiers are in South
western Iran.
The Russians thus have IS times
as many combat troops as the Brit
ish in the troubled Middle Eastern
country. according to the reports
reaching the State Department from
Teheran
Removal of less than 5000 Amer
lean noncombat troops-the only
ones left in Iran-may disrupt OPP
Grafton of the Army's Air Trans
port Command route from the
United States to India by way of
Europe or Africa.
To avoid a shutdown, officials here
disclosed, the Iranian government
has started negotiations nth Trans
continental & Western Air. Inc. of
the United States to operate the
big ATC field at Abadan tempo
rarily.
This operation. according to State
Department informa ton, would last
only until next spring. under the
proposed agreement with TWA. At
that time, the way-stop on the route
to India would be shifted to l. new
ATC field now being constructed at
Dahran. Saudi Arabia.

Such a project is needed at this

indicates that the political trend il
this area is toward progressive and
liberal policies. It has been my
belief that municipal election in
a city of over one half million
people is a significant factor in
the political life of our state and
nation. The platform upon which
we were elected was not limited
to local issues. 1t included broad
endorsement of the entire Roose-
welt program and our candidates
repeatedly expressed their support
of progressive labor legislation.
Therefore, I wish to go on record
for the following measures:
. I give my whole-hearted support
to the enactment of the Kilgore-
Forand Unemployment Compensa-
ton Bill calling for payment of $25
per week for 26 weeks. This bill
should include provisions that would
apply to returning veterans.
. support the Pepper amendment
to the Fair Labor Standards Act
providing a minimum wage of Csc
to 75c per hour.
. I urge the passage of the Muir.
ray-Patman Full Employment Bill
. I endorse the provisions of the
ner-Murray-Dingell Social Sc.
curity Bill.
81 support the creation of g
permanent Fair Employment Prac.
tees Commission, and am calling
upon the Council to pass a loca,
Fair Employment Practice ordi.
nance.
. AS a member of the executive
committee of the Missouri Valley
Authority Regional Committee,
support the proposed legislation
which would establish a Missouri
Valley Authority.
. support a national wage policy
providing an overall increase Of
20 to 300 in basic wage rates to be
arrived at by labor and manage
ment with the cooperation of gov
eminent. Every effort should be
made to eliminate sub-standard
wages below the 65c hour rate.
OI support housing legislation
which is now in Committee, namely
the Wagner-Ellender Bill which will
provide Federal assistance to mu-
inequalities for the purpose of ur-
ban re-development and low cost
public housing"
