OF
 } AMERICANS
 WAS ORDERED

KWAJALEIN, Marshall Islands, Nov. BOA Japanese colonel testi- fled today that Imperial Army discipline was so strict that if his men had disobeyed his orders to behead American fliers they would have been executed.
 The prosecution drew that state ment from small, 54-year-old Col Chisato Oishi, senior army officer on Milf Atoll, where five Tank fliers were executed after their bomber was shot down. He and nine other officers are charged with complicity in the beheadings. They will be executed if convicted.
 Oishi acknowledged that he is- sued the orders which sent three of the five to their deaths--but main- tanned that his orders came from Navy Capt. Masanori Shiga, atoll commander.
 Oishi, as had others of the de- fendants, denied knowledge of recognized rules for treatment of prisoners of war.

WHO SPARED LAPS 70 WAR IS QUESTION
Subject Bobs Up in Diet, then Enamoto Talks
 10 News Agency

TOKYO, Nov. 3O.--The big ques- tion of who was responsible for launching Japan on disastrous war bobbed up consistently today as the Diet charted an uneasy, uncer- tain course for the beaten country.
 Representatives of two of Japan's strongest postwar parties, the so- called Progressives and Liberals, met to draft a resolution demanding an investigation of the individuals re- sponsible.
 A request that the government di- vulge the circumstances leading to war was voiced in the House of Peers by Mitsuo Miyata, who said:
 "The Japanese nation was betray- ed by a small number of leaders in just the same way as the United States was betrayed by Japanese militarists at Pearl Harbor."
 Hot-Hedded Clique
 Tt was ahot-headed Nazi-inspired clique within Japan which brought about the Pacific war" Shigerhara Enamoto, civilian secretary to the Navy Ministry. told Kyodo News Agency in an interview.
 Enamoto said that the late Fleet Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. who boasted during the war he would dictate surrender terms in the White House at Washington, actually op- posed the conflict and conceded the Navy couldn't stand up against the United States Navy for more than a year.
 Miyata, former metropolitan po- lice chief of Tokyo. told the House of Peers that if President Roose- velt's personal message to Emperor Hirohito on Dec. T, 194l (Dec. 6, U. s. date) in the interests of peace had been made public to the Japa- nese nation the war might have been averted.

HURLEY DEMANDS PUBLIC HEARINGS
 ON RESIGNATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3o.--New repercussions from the bombshell resignation of Maj. Gen. Patrick Hurley as ambassador to China shook Capitol Hill today.
 l. President Trumans designation of General George c. Marshall as Hurley's successor was hit by Rep. Patterson tD-Calif) as poor ap- pcintment,"
 2. The Senate heard fresh criti- cism of the State Department and American policy in the Far East, and
 3. Three Congressional commit tees vied for an opportunity to ques- tion Hurley on why he quit his Chungking post
 4. Hurley told reporters he was willing to take on all corners but wanted the hearings public.
 Patterson asserted the former Chief of Staff doesn't know any, thing about China" He also found fault with Marshall's appointment i because he is soldier" Senator Willis (R-Ind) said that Hurley's resignation statement criti- cizing career diplomats" in Asiatic affairs certainly does nothing to dispel our doubts about the efficien- cy of our Foreign Service" Tt seems to me that our Depart ment of State has lot of explaining and house cleaning to do in the coming months
 The inside story of events leading to Hurley's resignation is something that interests the Senate Foreign Relations committee, the H ou e Committee on Un-American Activ- ities and the House Military Com mittee. All want to talk to him about it.
 The resigned ambassador met these bids by expressing his readi- ness to appear "at any public hear ing that is afforded me by Con- gress," but emphasized that the hearings must be open ones.

COMPANY ASKS RELIEF IN CONGRESS
Bill Would Expedite Mine Reopening dt Earliest
 Time

A hearing was held in Washing ton recently before the House Com mittee on Claims in support of bill for an appropriation of $25o.ooo for the relief of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, J. A. Williams General Manager for the company reports. He has just returned from a trip Outside.
 The company. he said, seeks this relief for the purpose of reimburs- ing it in part for expenditures in- cured and for certain financial sacrifices which the company made in connection with supplying mater ials for defense projects of the War Department and for other govern ment departments at Juneau and vicinity between June, 1922 and February, 1944.
 If the appropriation is made, he said, it is proposed to use the money for the payment of retroactive wages and to apply the balance tc the very great expense of reopening the mine.
 The proposed relief, if granted will expedite the reopening of tht mine at the earliest time possible Williams said, and it is hoped that soon thereafter the operation will again become normal and the com pany will be able to continue to op- crate for the benefit of all con- cerned for many years to come.

 Opposes
 Merger
Two Events in Spring This Year Brought Change
 in Feeling

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 The Senate Military Committee was told today that two events in the spring of 1945 brought about "a general change of feeling" among Navy of- ficers in the Pacific about the feasibility of a single department of national defense.
 Rear Admiral Sherman, who was Deputy Chief of Staff to Fleet Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, listed the events in his prepared testi- mony as:
 1-"The establishment within the War Department structure of the Twentieth Air Force to be based in the Marianas for attacks on Japan, both of which were the Pacific Ocean areas, but with its commander located in the Penta- gon Building $500 miles away.
 2-"The directive issued by the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the in- stance of the Chief of Staff of the Army, which transferred to the control of Gen of the Army Mac Arthur all the Army resources, ex- cept air, in the Pacific Ocear areas"
 Sherman, testifying against pro- posals to merge the services, said these two events disrupted uni fled command in the Pacific anc diSillusioned naval officers who had given support to the theories of a single department"

AIO GUESSED LAPS
 WOULD FIRST HIT,
 INVADE THAILAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30 - Army Intelligence Officers guessed on Nov. 27, 194l--l0 days before the Pearl Harbor attack-that Japan's next military move would be an invasion of Thailand.
 This estimate was disclosed in a memorandum by Brig. Gen. Sher- man Miles, then acting Assistant Chief of Intelligence, which was filed today with the Senate House committee Investigating the Pearl Harbor disaster.
 Miles told Gen. George C. Mar shall, former Army Chief of Staff, that it then appeared evident the Japanese had completed plans for further aggressive moves in south eastern Asia"
 These plans will probably be put into effect soon after the armed forces feel that the Kurusu mission is a definite failure" Miles report said "A task force of about five divisions, reported by appropriate naval air units, has been assembled for the execution of these plans"
 Hawaii Presumed Alert
 Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles testi- fled today the possibility of Japanese attack on Hawaii in the event of war was not mentioned in warning messages to the Army commander there because 1t was assumed Hawaii would be on the alert
 Miles, chief of Army Intelligence at the time the Japanese struck Pearl Harbor, Dec T, l94l, told the Senate House committee that late in November and early in December, 1941, he considered there was a strong possibility of a Japanese attack on Hawaii and Panama"
 Emphasizing that the Hawaii establishment had been built solely as a defense against any move by Japan, he said If war came 1t was inherent in the situation that Hawaii and Panama were extremely likely to be attacked"
 He said the Hawaii Department had been warned of the war danger which was the sole reason for it's being"
 Expected Surprise Attack
 Miles told the committee that Army war plans always had taken into account a surprise attack on Hawaii and that Army Intelligence officers "very much feared the Japanese might strike somewhere at the time they delivered their diplomatic note at p. m. Dec. T, 1941. The officers did not know where the blow might fall, he added
 Miles said the Army felt there was no possible way of catching a surprise attack before it fell except by reconnaissance from Hawaii"
 "In view of that and all these other factors" Gerhard Gesell, committee counsel. asked. did you inquire whether reconnaissance was being conducted properly?'
 T did not Miles replied, "it was not the responsibility of Mili-
 
 tary Intelligence"

NUREMBERG, Nov. 30.-The Ger man army's leading spy expert plot ter for years against Hitler and finally was executed in 1914 after the failure of the bomb plot against the Fuehrer's life, a surprise witness testified today at the war crimes trial of 20 Nazi leaders.
 Adm. Walter Wilhelm Canaris, mysterious Greek-blooded chief of the German army's counter -espion- age section, was named at leader of the anti-Hitler military clique by Mai. Gen. Erwin Lahousen, can- aris' aide. Lahousen was the first witness called by the prosecution to refute the grim inside story of German scheming and aggression.
 Hated Hitler
 Lahousen said that Canaris, who ran the German spy service disguis- ed as a commercial agency during the days of the German republic, hated Hitler and headed a military clique which plotted against the Nazi leader from the time he rose to power. Canaris was among scores of military leaders executed after Hitler escaped death in the l944 assassination attempt.
 Lahousen said Canaris unsuccess- fully protested against mass murder and ill-treatment of Russian prison CTS, who were starved until "canri- balism ensued."
 He said High Command orders to assassinate two French Generals, Maxine Weygand and Henri Ger aud, were thwarted by Canaris. XII All Jews The prosecutions surprise witness declared former Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop once as- serted that @all farms of Poles must be burned to the ground and all Jews killed" in the invasion of Poland
 Hitler was responsible for the poll /, icy of starvation that led to can nibalism among Russian prisoners, Lahousen declared.
 1 Polish uniforms were provided by the counter-intelligence section to outfit Germans for a fake attack on a German radio station at Cleiwitz l thus providing an incident" which Hitler used as one of the excuses for invading Poland. Lahousen declar- cd
 Reichmarshal Hermann Goering glared intently at the witness.
