Col. Alva c. Carpenter, chief of the
headquarters legal section.
Thus far, Americans have COM
prised the prosecution stats and
military commissions in trials of

Because many of the victims of
atrocities were nationals of Allied
nations, it is desirable that repre-
sentatives of those countries par
ticipate in the trials. Col. Carpenter
said.
He added that the legal section is
preparing charges against seven
japanese for brutal treatment of
Chinese detained at the Chusan
Chinese labor camp at Hanaoka
Honshu Island. In addition to pos
sible Chinese participation in the
trials, Col. Carpenter expects Ca
madam and Australian representa-

Hoover Backs Truman
On Food Conservation
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-President
Truman's national food conservation
program and his appeal for aid to
avert mass starvation in other
countries had the support today Of
Herbert Hoover, who said he be-
lieved it possible Ito meet this need
of increased food exports . with
out compulsory rationing."
The former President, food ad-
ministrator during the first World
War, said yesterday:
President Truman's appeal to
save food to meet the famine in
many countries should be supported
by the whole American people. I
am convinced it is entirely possible
for us to meet this need of increased
food exports by voluntary action to
eliminate waste and unnecessary
consumption and to do it without
compulsory rationing."
Mr.. Hoover said regarding the
European situation:
THE infant mortality is very high
everywhere on the continent and
unless special supplies are avail
able, it will be still higher. In some
areas infant mortality is now over
so per cent.
Peace and progress will not be
restored if those who survive are to
be infected by a generation of men
and women stunted in body and
distorted in mind"

The company's last offer was s5 a

a week for clerical workers.
A. B. Harrington, union spokes-
man, said he doubted the issue here
could be settled separately from
the national wage issue, since the
