Okawa again resoundingly slapped
the glistening head as TOTO busted
himself with his papers. TOTO just
grinned.
Okawa was pulled from the room
ahead of the other q defendants.
He kicked of his shoes and went
barefoot. When he returned after
the recess, he was wearing a dark
overcoat over his military cut gray
uniform and was docile.
Opinion was divided as to the rea-
sons for his actions. Some thought
he might be trying to impress the
court that he was not mentally able
to defend himself. However, his
slapping of Tojo-who chanced to
be seated in front of him-appeared
playful rather than in wrath.
AS the days session ended at 4 4::4O
pm, Clerks had waded through 47
of the SIS counts in the bulky indict-
ment. All of the indictment must
be read because the defendants re-
fused to waive the right to hear it
in court. The reading will be COM
pleted after court resumes at $50
am. tomorrow G::30 pm, EST, to-
night. Then the defendants will
enter pleas, all of which are ex-
pected to be innocent"
Except Okawa-who is accused OF
being conspirator in the Mukden
incident as well as plotter of the
Pacific war-the defendants we're a
pretty somber group at their ar
raignment. For the most part they
paid the closest attention to the
proceedings and almost all followed

PauIeyReparation1r Trip.
May Be Key 10 Future
Russo-U. 5. Relations
BY the Associotsd Press

Edwin w. Pauley hops off this
weGs end on a highly advertised
reparations mission which may de-
termine how successfully the United
States and Russia can cooperate in
the Far East.
Technically, Mr.. Pauley will seek
to learn what former Japanese as
sets in Manchuria and Korea can
be made available as reparations to
the Allied countries which teamed
up to win the Pacific war.
Actually, he will try to find out
whether the industrial equipment
remaining in the two areas is suf-
ficient to contribute to the economic
development of China and Korea
factor the United States believes
essential to lasting peace in East
Asia.
President Truman and Acting
Secretary of State Acheson made
this plain yesterday in separate
statements which added up to quite
an official "buildup" Of the Pauley
mission.
The President started it off at his
news conference. He said he wanted
to emphasize the Importance he at
tached to the mission.
China must be enabled to use fully
the natural resources and indus
tries of Manchuria, Mr.. Truman as
serted, and Korea must be put into
position to develop its own resources
and industries if any long-range
plan for the peaceful economy of
East Asia is to be worked out.
The President read these words
rapidly from a paper. They turned
out to be the same words in state
ment Mr.. Acheson issued at the
State Department q few minutes
later.
Like the President, Mr.. Acheson
rarely mentioned reparations. In
stead, he stressed what he termed
the absolute. necessity-from the
American viewpoint-of China's
getting the Manchurian industries
and resources, and of Korea's being
permitted to develop its own.
Reflected in the two statements
were:
!. Vigorous American opposition
to the reported Russian removal
from Manchuria of large amount |
of Japanese industrial equipment
regarded by the Soviet Union as
war booty"
@, Equally strong American op-
position to Russia's proposal to
China that the two countries
jointly operate some of the basic
industries in Manchuria.
3. American fear that the Soviet
Union might follow the same pat
tern in the northern part of Korea
The final Allied policy on repara-
tions-and thus to a considerable,
extent on the economy of East |
Asia-will be made by the Far
Eastern Commission, 11-nation
policy-making body for Japan which
meag weekly in Washington.
7 commissions Reparation
Con. .littee has been considering for
more than week a general plan
originated by Mr.. Pauley, but it
has taken no action to date.

today 1t appeared from Secretary

to the Foreign Ministers Confer
ence that the United States was
preparing to pull out of Germany
before militarism is stamped out
and the country Reconstructed on
Il democratic basis.
Here for the first time the ques-
ton of discontinuing the occupation
ct Germany is raised officially" the
dispatch said.
ut looks like the American pro-
posal signifies preparations to re-
ject the fundamental obligations
undertaken by the Allies regarding
Germany-namely, the long oc-
cupation OF Germany with the aim
of actually destroying the roots and
base Of German. militarism.'
(Mr. Byrnes proposed to the
foreign ministers four power
agreement for the supervision
of Germany for at least Is years
after the present occupation to
insure that German forces are
completely disbanded, that such
organizations as the storm troop
ers and Gestapo are wiped out
and that no military equipment
Is manufactured.
Mr Byrnes indicated that
Prime Minister Stain had sup
ported the idea When the two
discussed it in Moscow last Christ
mas. However, Foreign Minister
v. M. Molotov opposed placing
the matter on the Paris confer
ence agenda in connection with
general discussions on Germany
The Tass correspondent said Mr..
Byrnes' proposals were "far from
the aim of really forestalling the
re-birth of militarism in Germany" !"

Chief Justice Sir William Webb
read statement pledging a fair
trial. He said in part:
There has been no more impor-
tant criminal trial in all history
- The accused were no mere
provincial governors, but for more
than a decade were the leaders of
Japan at the height of her power.
The crimes alleged are crimes
against the peace of the world !"
against humanity. /" The num-
ber and equality of crimes charged
insure for them the most anxious
consideration. To our great
task we bring open minds.
Onus will be on the prosecution to
established guilt beyond reasonable
doubt. +"
The morning session then ad-
journed until afternoon to await
the arrival by plane from Bangkok
Siam, of two of the defendants,
Gen. Seishiro Itagaki and Gen
Heitaro Kimura, so the indictment
would not have to be read again.
Friends and relatives of the in
dicted japanese watched the pro-
ceedings from the courtroom gallery,
but only a few were willing to COM
ment.
Shirichi Hasegawa, former secre-
tary to former Foreign Minister
Yosuke Matsuoka, one of the pris-
oners, was an exception. He said
'Matsuoka will die before the trial
is over if he continues to get the
treatment he is getting now," add
ing Everybody is commenting on
the contrast between the thinness
of the defendants and the fatness
of the prosecution.
The prisoners lunch today in
cluded beef pot pie, mashed potatoes,
outtered peas, bread and butter and
coffee.
japanese spectators evidently took
seriously warnings that they would
be searched before entering the
courtroom.

hibited article except a couple of

tion was undaunted; | continued

several applications, | was asked
to report for duty at the Emanuel,
but upon arrival, seeing | was a
Negro | was told we're sorry but
we've never had Negro nurses
here; we're sure it will not work
out satisfactorily. That was a
great disappointment but | just
kept on trying after realizing the
problem | faced. Finally despite
several inquiries and attempts
was offered Il job at Good Samari-
tan and Multnomah. | had to
make a choice. | chose to work
at Multnomah believing as a medi-
cal school it would offer me the
greatest opportunity for future
development Il notice no diff
ference in the treatment here of
the nurses, other than | often do 3
times the work of other nurses.
l haven't complained, it seems to
be required here as in all voca-
tious and endeayOrs. We can't
stop at being as good-but must
be better than the other fellow"
EDITORS NOTE agreed
and could sympathize with Mrs.
Vaughn as she related the diff
Guilty she had even as a trained
nurse to get into Portland's hos
pitfalls. Eight years ago | headed
survey of hospitals in Portland
to find that not one-eyen Mutt
