 "TO Arouse Public Opinion'' In Japan

SHANGHAI, Feb. 13 - (P) - Maj. Gen. Masataka Kaburagi said in a signed statement today that the humiliating parade of three American fliers in Hankow Dec. 16, 1914, was designed to force Chiang Kai-Shek to ask the United States to halt bombings near that city.
 Kaburagi, one of Is Japanese on trial here for the cremation alive of the three Tanks, admitted in the statement that he as chief of staff, and It. Gen. Tadayoshi Sano, commander of the 34th army, approved hte degrading pa rade ito arouse public opinion"
 He contended that Sano, who died of ulcers in, Japan last sum- mer, stated that American bomb ing close to Hankow had reached such intensity that parade of three Tank fliers would incite the populace to such a degree that Chiang would ask the United States to halt the bombing.
 Some of the crowd of tens of thousands attracted to the parade beat the fliers with sticks. The three Americans, survivors of a damaged bomber, were cremated that night-alive and twitching- after a beating with small fire logs, previous witnesses said.

Says Truman Does Not Show Confidence In Him

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-(P(- Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes bluntly challenging Presi- dent Truman's right to pass judg- ment on his ''veracity," 'I cannot stay on when you in effect ex- pressed lack of confidence in me-" Ickes said in a lengthy letter to the President, he made public af- ter the White House announced the resignation.
 The resignation of "Old Cur mudgeon," who took office under Roosevelt in 1883, grew out of Ickes' opposition to the nomina- ton of Edward Pauley as under secretary of the Navy, and the Presidents support of the Cali fornia oil man.
 Ickes asked to be relieved March 3l, but Truman made the resignation effective February Is. The Presidents letter of accep- tance was not made public.
 The President designated Oscar Chapman, Coloradoan, who served thirteen years as assistant secre- tary, to take over Ickes' duties, pending the appointment of a per manent Secretary.
 Ickes in two thousand word letter of resignation, said of his. testimony in opposition to the nomination of Pauley, "I cannot accept the theory I should have told the Senate naval affairs com mittee anything less than the truth. l make no apologies for having done so, although I did re- gret the unhappy personal posi- tion in which I involuntarily found myself.
 Ickes told the committee that Pauley advanced the "rawest proposition that ever has been made to me-" by suggesting that three hundred thousand dollars could be raised in campaign con- tributions by California oil men if the government would drop it's suit to establish federal title to oil bearing tideWater lands.
 Pauley denied this, saying that Ickes was mistaken. The Presi- dent too told a press conference that Ickes could be wrong. This provided the springboard for Ickes' resignation. He is seventy one.

CANNED CORN PACK

A pack of canned corn which has
been exceeded in only one other year
is in the making in Maryland and
other corn producing states through
out tho nation, according to w. c.
Stolk, vice presidnet of American
Can Company, who bases his state
ment ON the cintainer requirements
of Gamers.
A conservative estimate on this
basis, said Mr.. Stolk, would place the
nation 1916 pack of canned corn at
30,000,00O cases, or 720,OO0,0OO
cans. Last years pack was 2S,00O,-
900 cases, while the largest pack Oh
record. made in 1912, was $4,000
900 cases.
Acreage of vegetables for canning
continue to show marked increase
over acreage for fresh vegetables
said Mr.. Stolk, who attributed this
steady growth partly to the stabiliz.
ing effects of the tin can in the ma.
tion's agricultural economy. 1t has
provided American truck farmers
with broader markets, he explained
by making possible year-round con
sumption of vegetables produced dur
