By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Jan. 19.-The long
awaited trials of ex-Premier Mideki
TOTO and other high japanese war
leaders for crimes against peace
and crimes against humanity we're
ordered by Gen. Macarthur today
in chartering an international tri-
bunal tentatively scheduled to begin
operations March /.
Gen. Macarthur, ordering estab-
lishment of the tribunal and an
nouncing its rules of procedure,
made clear that the court of five
to nine members will not be bound
by technical rules of evidence" and
will not recognize Official position
or obedience to orders as juStifica-
Ition for defendants 'acts4 10 H
Russia Expected to Participate.
Members of the court will be ap-
pointed by Gen. Macarthur from
nominations submitted by nations
signatory to3the Japanese surrender.
Russia has not yet indicated whether
she will participate, but some
sources here expressed the belief
that she would.
The charter under which the
tribunal will operate lists three
categories of crimes for which the
defendants will be tried:
l. Crimes against peacev-"the
planning, preparation, initiation or
waging of declared or undeclared
war of aggression, or war in violation
Of international law ."
2. Conventional war crimes-"vio-
lations of the laws and customs of
war"
3. Crimes against humanity
murder, determination, enslave-
ment, deportation and other in
human acts committed against any
civilian population before or dur
ing the war i. :"
Will Accept Affidavits.
Forestalling controversies such as
developed during the recent trials
of various Japanese commanders
accused of ordering or condoning
atrocities, the courts charter spe-
officially declares that affidavits and
similar statements shall be ad-
mitted in evidence-even documents
without legal proof of issuance or
signature, provided the court deems
them genuine or of probative value.
Each defendant will be entitled
to counsel of his own choosing,
subject to disapproval by the tribu-
nal" Gen. Macarthur will appoint
the chief counsel responsible for
investigation and prosecution, while
any member of the United Nations
which fought Japan may appoint
an associate counsel.
A majority of the court will be
sufficient to convict and impose
sentence-subject to review by Gen.
Macarthur, who can reduce but
cannot increase any penalty.
While the first trial is scheduled
for Tokyo, the others may be held
wherever the tribunal chooses.
