BY DORIS FLEESON.

The closed-door deliberations of
the Supreme Court this week are
being dominated by the possible
legal rights of Japanese whose
moral guilt is so enormous 1t is not
even in dispute. But he will get
his legal due, and his fate viii,

brave new doctrine that men are
guilty IN the atomic age of the kind
Of wars they start and wage.
On Monday next the court will,
by its own request, hear argu-

petition for certiorari of 1t. Gen.
Tomoyuki Yamashita. the Tiger Of
Malaga" whose men burned and
shot American soldier captives and
paved the Philippines with the
bones of $4,000 innocent women and
children.
Yamashita was convicted by an
American Military Commission in
Manila. The Supreme Court of the
Philippines refused to take juris-
diction over his appeal. Now the
once-arrogant conqueror of Singa-
pore has asked the Supreme Court
here to remove the war criminal
brand and restore him to the status
of a prisoner of war in conform
ity with the Geneva Convention.
Yamashita will not be present.
His counsel, all American Army
officers, will point out to the court
that the indictment does not accuse
him of committing a single atrocity

Predict Rise In Liquor Prices Soon
 Boost To Be
 Noticeable
 Down The Line

Local package store dealers said today they expect no immediate increases in liquor prices but agreed that purchasers will be paying more once present stocks are exhausted. No flood of scarce items, such as Scotch and aged boubon, is looked for, but dealers were largely in agreement that they will begin making an appearance in greater quantity now that price controls have been removed.
 Most dealers will maintain their present prices as long as their present supplies last" said Paul Merluzzi, president of the Water bury Package Store Dealers Asso- citation. We will unquestionably have to charge more when current stocks are gone, since it's certain that higher prices will start at the distilleries and be passed on all the way along the line. No one knows for certain just what the price charges will be but we're sure they won't go down."
 MT. Merluzzi said he heard re- port that an effort would be made to keep the price of Scotch, which has been almost unobtainable, within reason"
 From New York came word that bourbon prices would climb astrono mically. One authority predicted that it would rise to $100 a case, or more than $8 8 bottle.
 Restaurants and taverns here to- day retained their previous prices for liquor by the drink.

Steer Purchased For $35 q Pound In Kansas City

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. A. CUP-In exchange for his prize-winning calf 15-year old Jack Hoffman today pocketed $42,000-one of the highest prices ever paid for a meat animal in the United States.
 Hoffman, a gum-chewing, high school sophomore from Ida Grove, Ia., saw his 1,200 pound, Hereford calf, T. O. Pride, converted into gold be- fore his eyes last night in 15 minutes of spirited bidding at the American Royal Livestock and Horse Show Auction.
 His young steer sold for $35.6O a pound. If he had sold 1t on the regular livestock market here, Hoffman would have re- ceived about 30 cents pound, or $360.
 The purchaser, Eddie Will Hams, president of the Williams Meat Company, Kansas City, said the calf would be slaugh- tered and the meat distributed in the company's normal trade channels.
 The price set a new all-time American stock show record and more than tripled the old rec ord of $11.15 per pound paid for the champion of the Eastern States Exposition at Springfield, Mass, in 1883.

Building Trade Rules May Be Suspended to Aid Vets

Relaxation of building trade union rules has been requested here to help speed up construction of the veterans housing program at Ham ilton Heights project. The request was made at 8 meeting of union representatives, city authorities, vet erans' representatives and members of the Mayors Housing Advisory Committee.
 Requested changes include per- hitting non-llnion members to work on the project or men who are working now in factories during the week. Also permitting union members to work overtime on Sat urday and Sunday at straight time.
 Thomas Quinn, business agent of the carpenters union, AFL., strongly opposed the proposal that men now in factories be permitted part time work at the projects and labeled some of these men as mot 100 percent Americans" He did say, however, that he would place the entire matter before the full membership.
 Labor Chief Factor
 Hal H. Aston, federal contractor undertaking the proposed re-erec- tion of barracks at the Hamilton Heights project, said that the prin- cipal block to progress at the site was the shortage of labor.
 T need 25 carpenters immediately with 25 more in two weeks as well as two electricians and a plumber" MT. Aston said. '"The materials are available but we can't progress"
 The construction company is working on government contract, on a cost plus fee basis which does not permit the company to pay for more than 5 hours overtime per week to any one individual. That is the reason the company must ask the unions for the second conces- sion mentioned above, MT. Aston explained.
 The Mayor stressed to Mir. Quinn that the matter rested solely in the hands of the union.
 Help Needed, Says Mayor
 The city has done all in it's power, furnishing the site and the funds. The government has pro- vided materials and a contractor. Now we must have help" the Mayor pointed out.
 MT. Aston emphasized that his organization has always been one which employed union help. Under ordinary circumstances we would not permit the hiring of non-union workers on the project" said MT. Aston, but added that these are not ordinary but extraordinary times.
 Tt is not g question of trying to usurp the power of the unions. We don't wish to see the gains of labor cast aside" he declared, and added that '1f this veterans housing project has any merit 1t must be given aid outside normal pro- cedureS.

Guild Refuses
 Heorst Proposal For Bock-to-Work

Los Angeles, Oct. "A - (UP) A back-to-work proposal by the Hearst management of the strike bound Los Angeles Evening Herald Express was rejected in effect to- day by officials of the C.I.O. Amer ican Newspaper Guild.
 The management had proposed through Federal Conciliator Harry Malcom that employees return to their jobs with the understanding that any wage increases would be retroactive to the date of return.
 William Brodie, administrative officer of the Los Angeles Guild unit, said the offer was "just an- other attempt by the newspaper to evade its legal obligation to nego- tiate with its employees"
 Publication was Sept. 4 and the Herald Express plant was locked up 8 week ago.

 Items in Body

Barnstable, Mass, Oct. M. (UP) Hearing of the $10,000 damage suit of Philip Evergood, Barnstable mural painter, against Dr. Leland s. McKittrick, Brookline surgeon, continued in superior court today after testimony by the artist that a sponge and a metal clip were left inside him after an intestinal oper- ation.
 Evergood testified yesterday that the alleged overlooking of the sponge and clip made necessary a second operation which so weak ened him he was unable to resume painting for more than a year.
 Dr, McKittrick acknowledged he removed a sponge from Evergoods abdominal area several weeks after he performed the original operation at a Boston hospital. However, he said he was unable to account for the sponge's presence because a careful check was kept of such matters during surgery
