D. {. Tax Boost Opposed
By Lincoln Civic Group

The Lincoln Civic Association last
night opposed any increase in Dis
trict taxes, as recommended to the
Commissioners recently, as a means
of increasing the city governments
revenue.
The association suggested that, in
cases where buildings have been
torn down to make way for such
businesses as parking lots, taxes
should remain the same as originally
charged for both building and lot.
DR.. E. F. Harris, president, explained
this was offered as an alternate
means of increasing the city's in
come.
1t also was voted to oppose the
projected erection of large parking
garage in the vicinity of the new
George Washington University Hos
pltal until such time as the housing
condition in the District improves,
or until homes could be found for all
persons who would be forced to va
cate to make way for the garage.
The group protested segregation in
alcoholic clinics, which DR.. Harris
said had been recommended by the
Health Department. DR.. Harris
conducted last nights meeting,
which was held at the Francis
Junior High School, Twenty-fourthH

Union leaders said the walkout
was caused by the PUC's refusal to

changes, and the strike was ter
minated Tuesday night at the re-
quest of the International Brother

Discordant Notes Heard.
Some discordant notes greeted
plea for solidarity from Mrs. Mary
E. Cannon, president of the Wash

nothing was heard to substantiate
reports that many union members
had returned to work.
The Chesapeake & Potomac Tel
ephone Co. has reported that at
least 100 operators have returned
to work since the strike, but union
spokesman defied the company to
count more than a dozen who had
left the ranks.
Mrs. Cannon was required to pla-
cate one operator who complained
at the meeting she had two children
to support and needed to work.
Operators in Serious Mood.
Cant we stick together?" Mrs.
Cannon asked, adding that it should
not be long before everybody goes
back.
The operators largely were in a

were joking but others were COM

Japan S War Leaders
Face Trial on Basis
OF Specific Crimes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Jan. 17.-Gen. MacAr-
thurs charter for the war crimes
trials of Hideki TOTO, Japan's Pearl
Harbor Premier, and other top sus-
poets will require the prosecution to
prove each defendant guilty of a
criminal act, headquarters reported
today.
A spokesman said it would not be
sufficient to prove that a defendant
was member of some malevolent
organization or war making cabinet.
Neither will the topflight japanese
be tried on charges of negligence
that as officers they failed to take
certain steps that would have helped
prevent the Pacific conflict.
Personal Guilt Stressed.
Instead, the trials will seek to
bring home to the Japanese people
the personal guilt of each man fac
ing the tribunal-personal affirma-
ton of acts which constitute a
crime against humanity committed
by him as an individual.
Legal sources pointed out that
Gen. Macarthur must set up in the
charter a simple international pro-
cedure which will enable the law to
catch up with momentous events of
our times and all of their conse-
quences." They said civilized law is
nothing but the requirement of or
ganized society to continue to exist
and the charter must allow society
to get fair deal.
The trials are expected to start
early in March.
Tribunal Being Formed.
TOTO and his compatriots will ap-
pear before an international tri-
bunal, now in the process of forma-
ton.
Announcement of the Chinese and
British Empire nominees to the in
ternational tribunal will be delayed
until selection of the American
member. Russia has remained 81
lent on the approaching trials and
has not aided in formation of the
tribunal, headquarters said.
Japanese lawyers have been re-
tanned by some defendants. Others,
at their own request, will be repre-
sented by German attorneys living
in Japan-providing the Germans
are not personally Objectionable to
Allied governments.
American counsel, probably mill
tary men, will be assigned to those
defendants who do not have Japa-
nese or German lawyers.

jobs If they did not return to work
this morning.
The company has invited opera
tors to return to work with q guar
antee of job security in the face Of
any demand the union may make
to dismiss employees refusing to par
ticipate in the strike.
Some operators said after the
meeting they were not satisfied with
the kind of vote they were permit
ted in determining whether they
should return to work. Mrs. Can
non simply asked: do you want to
stick with me?" to which the audi
ence responded with applause, the
operators said.
Union Members Complain.
Others complained about not be-
ing allowed to speak from the floor
when they asked for permission.
Mrs. Cannon said the fact that
I'VE had such a good turnout when
the girls jobs were threatened shows
they mean to stick with it."
One reason for the attendance. an
operator said, was because the union
had stationed girls at the telephone
exchanges to dissuade any operators
who wished to work.

D.C.HistoricaI Society
TO Oppose
White House Project

The Columbia Historical Society
is expected to add its opposition
soon to that already expressed by
architects and members of the
House against plans to enlarge the
White House.
F. Regis Noel, president, said to-
day meeting of the society's Exec
utlve Committee would be called
IN about two weeks to consider the
proposal. A majority vote of the
committee against the plan is, for
all practical purposes, a foregone
conclusion, he predicted.
He said that members at an elec-
ton meeting of the society Tuesday
night, expressed strong dislike for
the plan but that no resolution had
been passed, in the absence of a
quorum.
The plan is to triple the size of
the west wing of the White House.
adding $4,000 square feet of Office
space, an auditorium to seat 375
persons, a cafeteria and other i'm
provements, and to convert the
major portion of the east wing into
presidential museum. The work
would be done under a $1,65O,O 900
appropriation.
H. P. Caemmerer, secretary of the
Commission of Fine Arts, which
has approved the plan, was present
at Tuesdays meeting. According
to Mr.. Noel, he described the prof.
ect as a "fait accompli."
The commission is reliably re-
ported to have given it's approval
to the plan reluctantly, but in a
public statement released by the
House, no reference was made
by Gilmore D. Clarke, the chairman.
to any hesitancy on the part of
the commission in approving the
project.
The society does not regard the
