PARIS, Nov. 20.-Dispatches from

Manila Trial Lawyers
Protest 10 Patterson
BY fhe Assoeiotsd Pres.

MANILA, Nov. 20.-Fifteen of "a
American civilian lawyers defend
ing japanese war crimes suspects
here protested today to Secretary of
War Patterson that gross malad-
ministration" is preventing fair
trials for the accused.
The protest said several lawyers
resigned as result and returned to
the United States at their own ex-
lpense. Mark T. Smith of Jersey
City, N. j., declared before embark
ling that he resigned because con-
ditions both on and off duty pre-
clude a fair trial.
A. recent official report of an in
vestigator for United States Army
Forces, Western Pacific, confirmed
defense attorneys charges that their
pay, quarters and transportation are
inferior to those provided prosecu-
tion lawyers, who are responsible to
MacArthur's command.
1t said 21-by-27 foot room pro-
vided for staff of IS lawyers and
investigators is totally inadequate .
The Is petition signers told Mr..
Patterson they were subjected to
"disrespectful, degrading treatment
and inadequate working facilities,
billeting and transportation. Terms
lof your contract are brazenly vio-
lated"
They told reporters that prosecu-
tors were favored over defense at
torneys In many ways and were paid
an average of $4,000 more year;
that prosecutors have personal jeeps
which they can use for pleasure
whereas the defense has only three
for official use, and that rulings in
cases reversed by review boards are
available only to the prosecution so
the prosecuting attorneys can avoid
reversible errors but the defense is
kept in the dark"

today decided against expelling
student leaders of Chapter S41 of

had been sought on the grounds
that they were doing the univer-

At the same time, the university
ruled that the veterans group
henceforth will be denied use of

The announcement came this

Marvin, George Washington presi-

grounds for dismissal.
Charges Are Unsupported.
The committee, headed by c. Max

side of the story from Don Rothen-
berg, az, president of Chapter 34l.
Although three of the five officials
who sat in Judgment on Mr.. Rothen-

the expulsion of the. ave leaders,

proposal that all U. N. members re-

I /. Where and in what numbers

Then extemporaneously he broad
ened the question to include data
