 T absolutely did not know" Ya1nshita insisted.
 Kerr then told Yamashita this was his final opportunity to explain to the Commission how he failed to know Yamashita responded with what apparently was his final plea.
 Kept Busy By Tanks
 '"The facts are," he said T was constantly under attack by Ameri- can forces and was under pres sure day and night. Under these circumstances had to study plans to combat the superior American forces which took all my time and efforts.
 Seven days after my arrival I faced American landing forces. I was unable to inspect units as a result of the inefficicency of the Japanese system of unifying the command. The situation was high ly complicated. Troops were greatly scattered and communication was the poorest.
 T was forced to face the Ameri- cans with subordinates I did not know. I put all my efforts to bet tering the troops dicipline even in combat but the Japanese troops were untrained and most inferior and there wasn't time to bring them up to my expectations. l Impossible To Know
 T tried airplanes for communi- cation but it was useless. tried to dispatch staff officers to outlying units but they were cut of by guer- rillas. It was impossible for me to know the true pictures.
 Under these conditions I was completely out of touch with the situation. I believe I did the best possible I could do. If these things happened they were beyond any thing could have been expected tc prevent.
 If had foreseen them I would have concentrated all efforts to pre- vent them and if the situation pre- sentS itself I personally will punish the offenders.
 Did Not Order MassacreS
 Certain testimony was given that I ordered the massacres. I wish tc state did not order, know or con done !. swear to heaven anc earth I did not have anything tc do with these killings and atrocities That is all can say"
 Earlier Yamashita denied he re. ceiVed orders from Tokyo to des. troy Manila
 Kerr completed cross-examinatior this afternoon after asking Yama. shita if he wished to lay the entir, responsibility for atrocities upor subordinate officers and men.
 "The persons who perpetratee these crimes should be punished, Yamashita said.
 Did you fail to control you, troops, answer yes or mo-" was th' last question.
 T feel I did control my troops, the defendant replied.

wage increase demand, there were several signs of compromise.
 Bargaining Renewed
 l. General Motors said Vice President Harry W. Anderson, in charge of personnel, would meet at 10 a. m. (EST), Dec. 4, with Cancellation Director Edgar L. Warren at Washington.
 2. Anderson and Walter P. Reuther, vice-president of the United Automobile Workers union (CIO), renewed collective bar gaining for the first time since the strike was called discussing picket violence.
 3. President Truman said he would like to see the diSputing organizations get together for discussion of their differences.
 4. GM President c. E. wilson invited the JAW to modify it's wage demands. reminding the union that General Motors three times had changed its position in counteroffers prior to the strike.
 Tickets Discussed
 Wilson warned in indignant tones that the union could not expect consideration of wage gain demands until it had eliminated alleged abuses in it's picket activities, ln- cluding use of force to bar office workers from their desks.
 The company'S accusation that JAW picketS have engaged in 1l- legal activities was the subject Of this mornings scheduled meeting between Reuther and Anderson. Violence at Saginaw, Mich, was denounced by the union. The NAV offered a reward of $1,000 for in formation leading to conviction Of persons who threw bricks through windows at the home of two 'GM plant officials. Union spokesmen said the culprits posed as union members"
 Still Seek Just Raise In the main dispute over the unions demand that General Mo- ! tors grant 30 per cent pay gains or show us why it can't" there ap- peared to be no easing of positions | W1lSOll odlu GlAiV dlly 1lCW o-'A offer would be less than the 10 per cent increase offered before the strike. While Reuther declared at Washington that, save for proof from company books that the ad- vances could not be paid under present car prices. the union would accept nothing less than 30 per cent. But our demand is not 30 per cent, or else," the JAW leader said
 Ut is 30 per cent without price increase, and we will accept 20 per cent, 15 per cent-or nothing-if the | figures show that it is all that can be paid without a car price boost. D Wilson termed the demand a "3O per cent--or else" proposition, then declared: They've got the or else 1 now"

 "Once these funds become off, cially allocated the first of next year, the Authority will proceed with the survey" MT. Young said.

 Lahousen: Polish intellectuals, nobility, clergy and naturally the JeWs.''
 The conversation between Ca1aris and Keitel occurred on Hitlers spe- cial train Sept. 12, 1889, shortly be- fore the fall of Warsaw.
 Canaris also talked with Joachim von Ribbentrop, Lahousen said, who told him that directive had been issued to arrange for Ukranian groups to rise against the Poles in the Polish Ukraine and exterminate both Poles and Jews.
 Dressed As Poles
 Ribbentrop told Canaris, the wit ness said, the uprising must be so arranged that all the Polish houses in the region were burned down.
 Some time in August, 1889" La- housen said, "the -intelli- gence section were ordered to hand over Polish uniforms and identifi- cation tags to Heinrich Himmler. I don't know where the order orig mated but I believe 1t was with Himmler. The uniforms were pre- pared and a man from the SS or the SD came and got them"
 LaohuSen said that when the first bulletins about Polish attacks on German villages were published the pretext Hitler used for attack ing the Poles-'it became clear what the uniforms had been used for "
 He said that prisoners had been taken from concentration camps, dressed in Polish uniforms and di- rected to attack the Glauwitz radio station.
 T was told that all members of the SD Security police) who participated in the attack were killed afterWard."
 Wanted To Kill Weygand
 Canaris, Lahousen said, told him that Keitel came to him in 194O after the fall of France and tried to persuade him that it was neces- sary to eliminate" Gen. Maxine Weygand, then in charge of French North Africa, because it was feared that he might become rallying point for the French.
 Canaris and Lahousen, he said felt that this would be murder and resolved that if the order was given it would not be carried out
 Amen asked Iahousen what he had told Keitel about the matter.
 T don't remember exactly what I told him." he said. But I cer- tainly didn't tell him the order wouldn't be executed or I wouldn't be sitting here today"
 Goering nodded his head wig orously, as if to say you certainly wouldn't"
 Chiefs Influenced
 Lahousen said that the chiefs ot intelligence under Canaris were deeply influenced by Canaris' per sonality. He was man of the purest intellect He hated anc abominated war and he hated Hit Ter and his system. Any way you look at him he was man"
 He said that the intelligence leaders split later lnto two groups one of which was led by CanariS
 Lahousen said he believed he was one of the very few members ot the Canaris inner circle who is stil alive.
 Describing a meeting in the sum. mer of 1941 with Gen. Reinecke Group Leader Mueller of the ST and a Colonel Bozen of the pris' oner of war section. LahouSen saic Reinecke ordered the killing of al Russian commissars and indentifi' able Communists.
 He said Canaris ordered him tt try to mitigate these brutalities ano that Canaris also protested to tht | foreign office about it.
