By the Associated Press.

MANILA, July 24.-Australian
troops have slaughtered several
truckloads of japanese miles north
of Balikpapan in Southeast Borneo
and advanced 3 miles northward
along the inland road leading to
the oil fields of Samarinda, in East
ern Borneo, Gen. MacArthur's S
headquarters announced today.
The Japanese were caught as they
tried to withdraw secretly from
around Mount Batochampar, where
they had made a strong stand for
more than two weeks in an attempt
to block the route to Samarinda, go
miles north of Balikpapan
The water approaches to Sama-
rinda were shelled during the night
by Allied light naval units which
hit japanese bivouac areas in the
Mahakam River delta east of the
oil town.
Royal Australian Air Forces con-
tinued to give close support to
ground operations.
The Melbourn radio, in a broad
cast recorded by the American
Broadcasting Co., said the Japanese
retreating from the Balikpapan area
"are leaving trail of dead through
native villages. Groups of natives
are being slaughtered every day. In
one village the whole population was
destroyed"

Army Trial Witnesses Tell
OF Guard-Prisoner BrawI

BY the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., July 24.-An
incident in which guards and
prisoners allegedly participated in
melee was described by two
Nebraska soldiers yesterday at the
court-martiaf of Capt. Stanley T
Jones of Utica, N. Y, accused of
permitting mistreatment of prison.
ers while he was police and prison
officer at the Lincoln Army Air
Field in 1943 and 1914.
Pfc. John Capleton of Omaha
testified that after several prison.
ers failed to fall out for chow
because of dissatisfaction with the
way a prisoner had been treated
when he asked for cigarettes,
guards entered the barracks and two
of them began striking prisoners.
Pvt. Paul Bressman, Plattsmouth,
Nebr., said that when the prison.
ers failed to answer mess call,
"Sergt. West, Corpl. Medows and
Sergt. Hamill entered the cell
block" West and Medows striking
the prisoners.
Maj. Edward Bynum of Okla
homa City, who is prosecuting the
case, said the Sergt. West referred
to was S/Sergt. Odus L. West OF

acquitted of similar charge in

Further Cut Expected
In AustruIiu's Army
BY the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated Press.
MELBOURNE, Australia, July
24.-The military correspondent OF
the Melbourne Herald, quoting au-
thoritative sources, said today that
another major reduction of Au-
stralia's military forces might be
undertaken soon, cutting the present
six active divisions to three with
some auxiliary troops.
The reasons, he said, were that
the remnants of Japanese island
garrisons now appeared to be sealed
of and it was not necessary for
Australia to continue such relatively
strong forces, while production of
food for American and British
forces would be helped by the army
reduction.
At present Australia's six divi-
sions are strung out on a 3,000-mile
arc from Bougainville to Borneo.

Criminal Contempt
Suit Names Three in
Bankruptcy Case

H. Winship Wheatley, attorney
late yesterday filed civil suit il
District Court asking that Mr.. ant
Mrs. Maurice GerSing of the ITO
block of Hobart street NV. ant
Attorney James j. Laughlin be citet
for criminal contempt of court
The suit was the first of its kint
ever filed in District Court, attache
said.
An investigation ordered last Ma.
by Justice David A. Pine is the basi
of Mr.. Wheatley's charges. Thu
court had appointed Mr.. Wheatle.
Ito inquire whether there is rea
sonable cause to believe" that tn,
GerSings and Mr.. Laughlin ar,
guilty Of criminal contempt of thi'
court in violating and advising vic.
lation of a court order. ="
Punished for Contempt.
On August %, 1914, the suit said
Mr.. Gersing was ordered in bank
ruptcy cause to pay Philip Shinberg
a bankruptcy trustee, $500 as rental
received for premises in the 320C
block of Walbridge place NV. Ac-
cording to the suit, the Gersings
also were ordered to turn over per-
sonal property and household fur
nishings listed in an appraisement
The suit charged the Gersings re-
fused to comply with the August %
order until they were punished by
the court for contempt In addi-
ton, the suit asserts, Mr.. Laughlir
"willfully" advised the Gersings tc
refuse to comply, in his capacity as
their counsel.
Mr.. Gersing, Mr. Wheatley main
tains, filed a suit in Landlord and
Tenant Court with the obvious
purpose of embarrassing the trus-
tee in handling of the bankruptcy
estate and in so doing was ad-
vised by Laughlin. ."
An indictment charging the con-
cealing of assets and making a false
oath in the bankruptcy proceedings
was returned against Mr. Gersing
early in June. The indictment al
legged he listed cash assets on hand
AS 500, while the Government
Claims ne actually ndQ SfUU.
Laughlin Denies Charge.
Commenting on yesterdays suit,
Mr.. Laughlin declared he had never
advised the Gersings to disobey the
court order, and it was their own
idea" in making a decision to the
contrary. AS to the investigation of
the matter, he said he was very
happy to have had this done.
The petition for bankruptcy was
filed in 1912 soon after a $500
court judgment had been obtained
against Mr.. Gersing and his wife by
two guests and three roomers who
said they had been elected from a
rooming house said to have been
owned by the Gersings.
District Courts refusal to allow
Mr.. Gersing to withdraw the petit
tion for bankruptcy was affirmed
by the United States Court of Ap-
peals. The appellate court also sug-
gested that an investigation of the
matter be undertaken by the United
States attorneys Office.

hospitals on Long Island, New York,
as examples of larger mental hos
pitfalls and added that Illinois has
plans under way ior a 10,0O0-beo
mental hospital.
Certain things can be done in a
larger hospital that can't be done
in smaller one" he said. There's
greater elasticity in the use of per-
sonnel and more expensive equip
ment can be purchased as needed
because there are more patients to
absorb the cost
He predicted that the morale of
the staff would be lowered by los
ing the Navy patients because the
recovery rate of these men has been
most gratifying and we should
certainly regret losing the feeling
that We are contributing to the war
effort and doing constructive
service for the Navy"

plant and naval air station, as well
as numerous operational airfields.
1t was from these fields four
months ago that a great force OF
enemy planes struck back at Vice
Admiral Marc A. Mitscher's carriers
and set the stage for one of Amer
ica's great epics of the seattle fight
for life by the carrier Franklin.
Admiral Mitscher's force shot
down 1,640 japanese planes between
March IA and May 28-one possible
reason the enemy has evaded aerial
scraps with the present powerful

Cannery Center a Target.
There were indications that Sun
days shelling Of Paramushiro was
designed to tighten the economic
stranglehold on Japan. Targets
included a cannery center at the
coastal town OF Surlbachl from
which much timed fish is sent to
the main home islands.
Helping to draw the moose on
food and weapons supply lines were
widespread blows by Gen. Mac
Arthur's land-based aircraft, which
sank IA Japanese ships and small
craft over the week end and pound
ed anew at Shanghai's water front.
Navy searchplanes Sunday and
Monday sank or damaged seven
more enemy vessels in the Yellow
Sea and off Korea.
