Clay Would Restrict
German Trial Plan

BERLIN, Oct. 7 DIT Gen. Lu-
cius D. Clay, deputy American mill
tary governor, told a news confer
ence today that if the Nazis acquitted
at Nuremberg remained in the
American occupation zone the mill
tary government would prefer that
they not be- formally arrested by
the Germans until they can be
tried under denazification laws and
found guilty.
Gen. Clay said that for the pres
ent, at least, the Americans opposed
letting the Germans try the acquit-
ted three on anything beyond de-
notification charges. In any case,
he said, strong efforts will be
made 10 protect them from double
Jeopardy on charges from which
they won acquittal by the interna-
tiona1 military tribunal.
If tried under the Identification
statute in the United States zone,
the acquitted trio would be liable to
maximum penalties of 10 years con-
finement, confiscation of all their
property and permanent disbar-
ment from public Office.
Gen. Clay said he doubted very
much" that German courts, under
present law, could try them for high
treason, and he indicated Amer
ican authorities were not now
amenable to permitting establish
ment OF special German courts to
try them.

japanese House Votes
342-5 for Constitution
Banning Armed Force
sy the Associated Pres,

TOKYO, Oct. IA revised
"antiwar" constitution outlaw
ing the maintenance of armed
forces, drastically curtailing the
Emperor's political powers and
granting the people a specific
bill of rights was accepted by
the House of Representatives
today.
The vote was 342 to S, four Com
munists and one Independent dis
senting.
This means the cabinet of Shigeru
Yoshida will resign within six
months after PRONUNCIATION of the
constitution and the House of Peers
will disappear at end of the current
extraordinary session.
The new document was prepared
under American guidance. {
No major objections developed
during three months continuous de-
bate on the fundamental points of
outlawing war, lessening the En-
peror's position and legally specify
ing the peoples rights. Acceptance
of the constitution had been as
sured by strong support voiced by
Gen. Macarthur and the Emperor
himself.
The Communists consistently op-
posed the constitution on the
grounds they felt it left the EN-
peror too much power, and that it
was imposed from the top and did
not come from the people.
General questioning in the Diet
disclosed japanese hopes that the
document would permit the continu-
ance of the Emperor as symbol
of state, that it would not eliminate
Japan's family system or other ira
ditional cultural heritages," and that
Japan would be protected adequately
in the event of any future conflict
Debates reflected the general be-
lief that the United States would
defend Japan.
At the outset of their discussions
on the war remuneration clause, the
japanese took pride in the fact that
theirs would be the first national
charter prohibiting armed forces
But later international quarrels in
creased their apprehension, and to-
, ward the end of the discussion
speakers were looking abroad fol-
protection.
High government officials have ex-
pressed the opinion the constitution
approaches the ideal of placing the
Emperor in a position similar to that
the British King. He would con-
tinue as symbol of state unity. they
said, while ministers responsible tc
the people handle political affairs.
The document provides for a Diel
composed of a House of Representa-
tives and a House of Counselors. re.

The Gould brothers were among

The trainers, which were lend

any one wanting to buy them, at

However" he said, "the sale will
continue all week, and those we do
not sell here will be moved south to
Camden, S. c."
The customers present this morn
ing sought the aircraft mainly for
training purposes. Although well
equipped with instruments, with a
cruising speed of about 100 miles
an hour and with a low landing
speed, the planes average only
about IL miles to gallon of gaso-
line and are considered too expen-
sive from an upkeep standpoint for
a private owner.
They are of the low-wing type,
with plexiglass covering over the
cockpits, and are powered with a
200-horsepower motor.

Crux of the dispute, however. is

Industry Sources Say

OPA's action in reducing price
ceilings on calves threatens to dis
courage what little marketing of
calves now is under way, industry
sources said here today.
This development in the meat
situation came as the American
Meat Institute reported that legiti-
mate packers are able to produce
pork and beef "at only about tenth
LOT normal operating capacity-a
record low"
The institute reported sharp
drop" in the number of hogs dressed
under Federal inspection and in the
amount Of pork in storage.
Meanwhile White House Press
Secretary Charles G. Ross told ques-
tioners today that President Truman
still was considering every possible
aspect Of the meat situation"
Feed Supply Held Ample.
The Agriculture Department, in
report on the feed situation, said
the Nations supply of feed is large
enough to support more livestock
than are likely to be fed. Accord
ingly, consumers can expect no

forced marketing OF cattle.

The OPA announced the rollback

without specifying who made it, Its
statement carried this explanation:
"The directive of August %, 1916,
of the Secretary of Agriculture rec
commended that the overriding CELL
ing for cattle be established at
s2025 a 100 pounds, Chicago basis,
compared with the former over

of $18. 1t has since been deter
mined that the Secretary's direc-
tive did not includes calves"
Retail Price Unaffected.
The announcement added that
no change in retail veal prices will
result because these ceiling already
are at June 30 levels. The reduction
on calves was requested by packers
who complained they were caught
in the middle between the higher
ceilings on calves and the June 30
prices on veal.
At the same time the OPA di-.
rected that all bovine animals,
other than bulls, weighing not over
500 pounds" be classified as calves"
for purposes of the S1s ceiling. 1t
explained that the order is designed
to simplify keeping of records.
The OPA said there may be "a
few low-grade cattle well beyond
the calf age" weighing less than 500

To Change Sentence
From Life 10 Death
BY the Associated Press

NEURNBERG, Oct. 7.-Grand
Admiral Erich Raeder, builder of
the German fleet and one. of three
men sentenced to life imprisonment
by the international military tri-
bunal, has appealed to the Allied
Control Council to change. his SEN
tence to death by shooting.
Raeder said his petition did not
mean that he was pleading guilty
as indicted but was prompted by
his advanced age of 10 and the
state of his health.
The Council has the power to re-
duce sentences but not to increase
those imposed by the international
tribunal
Raeder told the Control Council:
THE resistance of my body is very
low asd the imprisonment would not
last very long" III
Raeder, who was convicted on
three counts of the Indictment
common plan or conspiracy, crimes
against peace and war crimes-said
the verdict was the result of "a mis-
take in the way the prosecution
handled the Norwegian case"

This mistake, he said, was due to
political interests.
He emphasized he would welcome
the change of sentence as more
honorable and said: II testify that
! make this petition in fullest pos
session of my mental powers and in
complete command of my soul"
Meanwhile, Hjalmar Schacht, one
of three defendants acquitted by the
tribunal, was reported to have left
Nuremberg for the vicinity of

friends. Military government au-
thorities here said he had cleared
