Senator'S Influence
On u. 5. Delegation
AT Farley Increasing
BY JACK BELL.
SSnptatPd Brace CtoH Writ,

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-Sena
torial influence on the decisions OF
the American delegation at the
United Nations Conference appeared
to be increasing sharply today.
Secretary of State Stettinius, who
called Senators Connally, Democrat
of Texas and Vandenberg, Repub-
lican. of Michigan into his con.
sultation with foreign ministers of
the other sponsoring powers last
night, prepared to meet new group
of four Senators scheduled to ar
rive today
Senators Byrd. Democrat. of Vir-
ginia; Eastland, Democrat, of Missis-
sippi, and Tobey. Republican, of New
Hampshire, all members of the Ma
val Affairs Committee, have been in
Vlted to take an inside look at the
negotiations over a truSteeship pol
icy which will come to head at a
meeting of representative of the
Big -Four sponsoring powers tonight
The fourth visiting Senator, Cape
hart Republican, Indiana, is bring
ing to San Francisco a proposal that
all Of the United Nations declare
war on Japan. Since such a move
might be embarrassing to Russia at
this time, there seemed little likeli-
hood it would find much encourage
ment within the American group.
The Naval Affairs Committee
members are primarily interested in
postwar naval and air bases in the
Pacific. This question can be settled
finally only at the peace table. But
the policy under which former
enemy territory will be admins
tered is expected to be written into
the projected peace-keeping charter
here.
A later visit by another congress
sional group will bring still more
Senators into intimate contact with
the work going on here. Senator
McKeller, Democrat, of Tennessee,
president Of the Senate. and Minor
ity Leader White are included in
this group

Jackson to Prosecute Aides
Of Dead Axis War ChieftQins
Truman Appoints
High Court Justice
To Represent U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Robbed by death of his two prize
defendants, Associate Justice jack
son of the Supreme Court neverthe-
less set out today to bring to military
justice the arch war crimes cohorts
of Hitler and Mussolini.
President Truman announced Sc
lection of Justice Jackson yesterday
as this country's chief prosecutor of
those whose offenses in Europe have
been so widespread they have mo
particular geographical localization."
Hitler's and Mussolinis deaths,
Mr.. Truman said, mean that, hap
PLY, the two principal war criminals
will not have to come to trial But
there are others, he added, and they
must be brought to book.
Noting that the Moscow declara-
ton of November l, 1943, called for
local trials of those who took per-
sonal part in atrocities, the Chief
Executive added:
There are left, however, the cases
of other war criminals-particularly
the major war criminals and their
principal agents and accessories,
whose offenses have no particular
geographical localization.
International Tribunal.
II hope and expect that an in
ternational military tribunal will
soon be organized to try this second
category
That formed the pattern for JUS
tice Jacksons task. Summing it up
the jurist said he is convinced it
presents AN opportunity to dc
something toward bringing to just
judgment those who have hereto
fore thought it safe to wage aggres-
sive and ruthless war"
Justice Jackson will not quit his
seat on the high tribunal. The court
late yesterday heard final arguments
for the present term. 1t will meet
again on three or four Mondays to
announce decisions and then ad
journ for the summer.
1T is hoped Mr.. Truman said
yesterday, that the trial of these
war crimes cases will have been COM
pleted next October, when the court
reconvenes."
Justice Jackson came to Washing
ton in 1884 from jamestown. N. Y,
as general counsel for the Internal
Revenue Bureau. He was named
Assistant Attorney General in 1886,
Solicitor General in 1888. Attorney
General in 1910 and associate jus
tice of the Supreme Court in 194l
Against "FarcicaI Trials"
Recently, in addressing the Ameri-
can Society of International Law.
Justice Jackson pleaded that no
"farcical" trials be put on for war
criminals.
You must put no man on trial if
you are not willing to see him freed
if not proved guilty" he said If
you are determined to execute a
man in any case, there is no occa-
sion for a trial"
Justice Jackson has assembled a
staff from war, Navy and other de-
partments concerned. and after his
appointment was announced, he dis
closed that this group had been

Australians Sweep
Toward Airfie|d on
Tarakan Off Borneo
BY the Associated Press.

MANILA, May 3.-Allied troops,
opening a campaign to recover
the rich Netherlands Indies, to-
day swept quickly toward Tara
kan's airdrome and the town of
Lingkas from beachheads easily
established Tuesday on that i'm
portant oil depot island just off
Northeastern Borneo.
Meanwhile. Americans on Min
danao Island, in the Southern
Philippines, appeared about to take
the port of Davao, center Of pre-
war Japanese settlement, without
the fight they had expected.
They advanced another miles
Tuesday to reach the western edge
of the city of Davao, last impor-
tant holding of the japanese in
that part of the commonwealth.
Australian troops, aided by few
Dutch Indonesian units. established
two beachheads on Tarakan after the
American 7th Fleet, augmented by
Australian cruisers and destroyers
and American, Dutch and Australian
aircraft, had bombed and shelled
oil storage tanks internationally for
four days. Thick, black smoke COW
cred the southern beaches.
Reports Confirmed.

Grafton. said today the japanese
again were taken by surprise and
failed to offer any organized resist
ance to the landing The landing
parties met only scattered small
arms fire.
Gen. Macarthur said the opera
ton virtually severed the japanese
holdings to the south and that an
Allied base on Tarakan would COM
plete chain of airfields which would
enable a strike. at enemy forces
anywhere in the Southwest Pacific. ,"
The landing on Tarakan marked
the beginning of the attempt to re-
cover the richest prize seized by the
japanese in their southwark march
in 1912.
Tarakan itself was a producer of
exceptionally pure oil before the
Japanese moved in, but the Dutch
destroyed their installations while a
small force held off the japanese
in January, 1912. a few days before
the capitulation.
Evidently the Japanese rebuilt
some of these installations. James
Hutchinson, Associated Press cor
respondent with the 7th Fleet, said
the Tarakan beach area after the
bombardment was litter of
crumpled storage tanks. the natives
running around with their feet and
ankles smeared with oil.
Heavy bombers again raided For
mosa. fuel storage areas, railroad
equipment and other installations
Other aircraft sank six japanese
freighters in the China Sea.
