from the Mayor was read declaring
that continuation Of the strike woul6
cause a grave crisis in the food ano
fuel supply for the city Of New York
and will necessarily endanger the
health of the city's residents"
Following the meeting the Mayors
labor adviser, Edward C. Mcguire
declared:
THE needs of the people of the
city are so critical that present con-
ditions cannot be permitted to con-
tinue."
A Labor Department spokesman
in Washington, who declined use
of his name, then said he was ad-
vised that negotiations between the
union and the New York Tugboat
Exchange, the operators, had bro
ken down and that Federal seizure
was probable today.
The spokesman, who Is in close
touch with the situation, declined
to say what agency of the Govern
ment might be called upon to ham
die the tugs should the seizure be-
come effective.
I'm Per Cent Increase Proposed.
Mayor O'Dwyer's plan included
provision for 22h per cent wage

The employers, who previously
agreed to a 10 cents an hour rise, re-
verted to a 5 cent offer when the
union rejected the higher price.
The strikers meeting was ad-
journed without setting a date fol-
another meeting. Capt. Bradley said
the action postponed settlement oi
the strike for at least a week because
it would take that long to cal
another meeting by mail as provided

Supreme Court Ruling
Puts Yamashita 5 Fate
Up 10 Gen. Macarthur
BY the Associated Press


TOKYO, Feb. 5.-The Unitet
States Supreme Courts rejection o
Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita's deatl
sentence appeal leaves final decision
up to Gen. Macarthur and confirm,
that "the trial of war criminals def,
nitely is responsibility of the mill.
tary. -" ."
Allied headquarters officers, re.
porting these conclusions today, sale
Gen. Macarthur has had the record,
of Yamashita's Manila trial fol
some days. There was no indication
when he might act, and he has made
no comment.
The Supreme Court held that the
American Military Trial Commits.
sion proceeded legally in trying, con.
victing and sentencing Yamasnita tl
the gallows for condoning wholesale
war atrocities in the Philippines
Dissenting from the six-man major
ity decision, Justices Rutledge ano
Murphy termed the trial unfair and
contrary to American principles OF
Justice.
Given as Defense Counsel.
Replying today to the dissenters
opinion that Yamashita was hurried
to trial under an improper charge
and was given insufficient time to
prepare an adequate defense, Gen
MacArthur's legal chief, Col. Alva
C. Carpenter, said:
"Yamashita was given seven Army
officers, experienced attorneys, as
his defense counsel and he expressed
his satisfaction with their qualiflca-
tions and efforts.
'In addition, he was given and
exercised the privilege of selecting
an additional defense attorney of
his own nationality. The charges
were served on the general q days
in advance of the beginning of his
trial and the defense was given
every reasonable opportunity to pre-
pare its case, including access to
documentary evidence to be used by
the prosecution"
Col. Carpenter said the courts
decision had cleared the road ahead
for the trial in Yokohama of a
great number of suspected Japa-
nese war criminals
Future Moves Unknown.
" Whether defense counsel planned
any further moves on Yamashita' S
behalf was not Immediately learned.
LIT. Col. Walter c. Hendrix of At
ianta, Ga, only member of the de-
tense staff still in Manila, said only
that he was "gratified" that the Su-
preme Court considered his client S
appeal.
One of the prosecutors. Capt. Will
liam N. Calyer, Newburg, N. Y, said
he was gratified, too-because of his
''labors have been successful"
Yamashita himself has been held
incommunicado since the trial.
Incomplete headquarters figures
showed the cost of sending three
defense counsel to Washington to
present Yamashita's appeal in
cluded $6,513 for air travel alone,
plus their salaries and a $7-a-day
allowance for each while away from
Manila. Records forwarded to the
Supreme Court filled three trunks.
