Three Jap CannibaIs
Sentenced 10 Die
BY the Assoeiafed Press

GUAM, Oct. 4.-Three japanese
militarists were condemned today
to die ON the gallows for cannibal-
ism-a crime so heinous 1t Is GOV.
cred by no rule of war.
The three-a general, navy cap
tain and a major-listened un-
blinking as an American military
commission ordered them to die fol-
eating the roasted livers of two
American airmen downed on Chich
Jima late in the war.
They were 1t. Gen. Yoshio Tachi-
bana, the army commander: Navy
Capt. Shizuo Yoshii and Mai. SueG
Matoba, who also was accused o,
terrorizing his own men with
drunken brutalities.
Rear Admiral Arthur G. Robin
son, president OF the commission
announced that two-thirds Of the
commission of seven concurred ir
each of the hanging sentences
which now will be reviewed by the
Secretary of the Navy.
The charge Of which they were
convicted was violating the laws
and customs of war. There is nc
charge to fit the crime Of canni-
baliSn.
Vice Admiral Kunzio Mori. the
top-ranking navy commander or
Chichi Jima, was sentenced to life
Imprisonment. He was acquitted
of any part in the cannibalistit
orgy, but was convicted of neglect
of duty in failing to protect the
executed airmen.

Laundry Price Boost
By Regional Boards
Authorized by 0PA

OPA removed price controls on all
household brooms today, and an
nounced that ceiling prices will rise
on bedsprings and metal beds, fabri-
Gated concrete reinforcing bars and
certain iron and steel products de-
livered at Middle Western, Gulf and
Pacific Coast basing points.
In still another price move, OPA
authorized its regional and district
Offices to approve area increases In
ceiling prices for laundry and dry
cleaning services, when these quail
fly under the law.
Previously these increases had
been on an individual basis for each
dry cleaner or laundry. This proved
too much of an administrative bur-
den, the agency said.
Brooms went on the free list along
with such varied products as sui
phur, heavy used trucks, most fence
posts, most military vehicles, elastic
webbing, cord and braid and few
automobile parts and accessories.
Brooms were decontrolled, oPA
said, because the Agriculture De-
partment failed to list broom corn
as in short supply. Broom corn is
the largest cost item in brooms and
OPA decided it would be simpler
to decontrol the whole product than
try to compute ceilings.
Most of the other items were freed
from ceilings because OPA ruled
they are in ample supply. A few were
found unimportant to living or bus
iness costs. Among these were the
rubber balloons used for weather
and radio observations.
Two price increases will become
effective next Wednesday.
One is a boost of about $3.50 ton
in producers ceilings for fabricated
concrete reinforcing bars used In
construction. 4
The other is on delivered prices OF
iron and steel products at Toledo
Ohio; Mahoning Valley, Ohio; De-
troit and Eastern Michigan, and the
Gulf and Pacific Coast basing points.
The increases, to Offset higher
freight rates which became effective
July /, are so cents ton for in
gots, blooms, billets, slab and sheet
bar, and 3.5 cents per 100 pounds on
all other iron and steel products.
The ceilings on metal beds and
coil and fiat bedsprings at the manu-
facturer's level will rise 6 per cent
next Monday because Of higher ma
terial and labor costs. OPA said
costs to consumers will reflect the
same increase because of provi-
sion in the price control law hold
ing resellers' margins to the mark
ups used March 81 of this year.

server.
Typical Indian summer weather,
with clear skies and the tempera-
ture in the 70s or low 80s is In pros
pect for the week end, Wahlgren
said. Making q iong-range guess,
Wahlgren said this condition might
even continue over the following

|G. ". Traffic Engineer
Tells Of 2-Year Study

A two-year study of automobile
traffic congestion on city streets
may help to uncork "the constant
bottlenecks of traffic movements at
urban intersections" according to
DR.. Bruce D. Greenshields, associ-
ate professor of civil engineering at
George Washington University.
Speaking to members of the In
stitute of Traffic Engineers yester-
day afternoon during their annual
meeting at Columbus, Ohio, DR..
Greenshields said drivers collective
" tend to obey certain logical prin-
ciples, although there may seem to
be little reason for their actions and
the movements of the vehicles they
drive.
His study showed, DR.. Green
shields said, that buses get away
most rapidly from a stoplight OF
stop sign. with automobiles second
and trucks third. Automobiles nor
mally overtake buses within five
seconds. Drivers who "rush traffic
uSQtS ana push AuedQ Oh Ine
stream of traffic fail to save any
time on streets controlled by signal
lights.
The study also disclosed that there
was a much longer delay at blind
intersections and intersections
where pedestrian traffic was heavy
Although the study was made
chiefly In the New England States,
DR.. Greenshields said the conclu-
sions reached as a result of it had
Nationwide application.
These conclusions, he said4 are
That it is possible to measure traffic
changes, particularly at street in
tersections, and so determine how
to make best use of existing traffic
facilities and decide when they are
outmoded and should be replaced;
that rigid pedestrian control will
cut down delays; that blind corner!
should be eliminated, and that there
may be some virtue in having spe-
cial lanes of roadways for buses anc
trucks.

District Bar Plans
Test Cases 10 Establish
Redress for Usury

A direct investigation Of legal re-
dress possible to persons victimized
through excessive interest charges
by loan companies here was launched
yesterday by District Bar Associa-
ton committee.
The committee listened to COM
plants OF II residents that auto
finance rates charged them ran as
high as 100 per cent, while banks
charge 4 per cent year and credit
unions charge from half Of one per
cent to three-quarters Of one per
cent month.
The committees reports on bank
and credit union rates were made
by Edward Leisure and Elmer Cum
mings.
Test Cases Planned.
"We expect to pursue our findings
by definite test cases." said Com
mittee Chairman Martin F. O'Don-
oghue. AFTER another meeting next
Thursday at o'clock we will be
agreed on steps that can properly
be taken to bring about strict OBJ
servance of the District loan shark
law. ~,
'The general principle has been
decided in effect by a United States
Court of Appeals decision in the
Hartman v. Lubar case of Deem
ber, 1912.
I'm this case the finance company
sought to replevin articles upon
which 81 900 had been loaned. The
defense declared that, since the loan
was made at an interest rate in ex-
cess of per cent and the plaintiff
did not have license to do business
under the loan shark law, he should
not recover.
Amount Not Factor.
'The Court of Appeals held that
the lower court should have sup
ported this view and that the
amount of money loaned is not a
controlling factor"
Under the loan shark law the
offending company can be penaized
"a per cent of the principal and the
remainder be returned without in
terest.
The committee Is considering
whether the test actions should seek
restoration of the principal in full
without the penalty or ask the pen
atty with cancellation Of interest.

Newfoundland Crash
BY the Asseeioisd Press

GANDER, Newfoundland, Oct.
Aviation officials were at a
loss today to explain the crash
of a Berlin-bound American
Overseas Airlines plane in which
80 persons lost their lives yes
terday in the Newfoundland
wilderness.
A board of investigators from the
Civil Aeronautics I. Administration
awaited the arrival of a United
States Coast Guard helicopter IN
which they planned to visit the scene
Of the crash, which occurred about
10 minutes after the doomed plane
took of from Harmon Field near
Stephenville. The disaster was the
worst in commercial airlines history
A rescue party of United States
Army personnel and doctor, who
rushed to the scene soon after the
crash occurred, reported that all 81
passengers and 8 crew members were
burned beyond recognition. The
passengers included six children
ranging from 8 months to II years
old and their mothers. Nine of the
twelve women aboard were en- route
to join their husbands-most OF
them with occupation troops abroad
Made Emergency Landing.
The four -engined DC-4 crashed
and burned about IL miles from Har-
mon Field. where it had made an
emergency landing due to bad
weather at Gander Airport, sprawl
ing international air terminal on
the other side of the island.
The giant Skymaster, which began
its journey from New York, had
landed at Harmond Field at 8 pm
EST Wednesday to refuel and give
the crew q 12-hour rest. Under nor
NAL weather conditions 1t would
have refueled at Gander Airport, but
the base was closed In by rain and
fog. .
The crash occurred shortly after
3 am. (EST) Thursday in highly
inaccessible wooded area traversed
by a 1,200-foot-high range Of the
table mountains.
1t. Fletcher Brown, jr., Coast
Guard helicopter pilot from the air
sea rescue base at Argentia, few
through gale to Gander last night
and then took OH for Harmon Field,
but stormy weather forced him
down at Buchans. about half way to
his destination.
Landed at Hamlet.
1t. Brown, whose home is at
Gloucester, Mass, followed the rail-
road tracks insofar as possible, but
had to land at an isolated hamlet
en- route to find his way.
II got lost once" he said, "and
stopped at a little cabin to ask for
directions. The people spoke French
and I couldn't make them under
stand. Finally by pointing to the
map made them understand that
wanted to know where I was.
They told me I was in Newfound-
land"
1t. Brown made the trip alone in
a two-seated craft, the other seat
filed with three 5-gallon cans Of
s0-octane gasoline. He had to stop
and refuel en- route. He expected
to reach Harmon Field before noon
today.

War Crimes Official
|Lauds Jackson 5 Work
|Af Federal Bar Dinner
By WiIIiom 4. MilIen

Supreme Court Justice Hugo L.
Black sat calmly smoking q Gig
arctic rs he heard q Federal Bar
Association audience last night ap-
plaud his enemy and court col
league, Justice Robert n. jackson
for the latter's part in the war
crimes trial at Nuremberg.
I Justice jackson, chief American
prosecutor at the trial, was lauded
by Judge John J. Parker, senior
Judge OF the fourth judicial circuit,
who had just flown here from Ger
many, where he served as American
alternate member on the Interna-
tional Military Tribunal that con-
Quoted the trial. The occasion was
% dinner at the Mayflower Hotel by
the Federal Bar Association, honor
ing the II senior circuit Federal
judges, who yesterday closed three
day session on current court prob
lens at the Supreme Court.
Judge Parker paid tribute to
Justice Jackson for his part in set
ting up the tribunal, said that he
doubted II ever such a contribution
to the benefit Of mankind had been
made and declared that "he has
rendered a great service to the
country and to humanity"
Black Withholds Applause.
The audience applauded, but
Justice Black, seated near the
speaker, looked at him and contin-
ued to puff on his cigarette. He
did not applaud. Justice Jackson
has charged that Justice Black sat
on a Supreme Court case in which
the latter's law partner had par
ticipated.
A number of lawyers who had
worked with Justice jackson when
he was Attorney General in the
Justice Department were present in
last nights audience. Judge Parker
also paid tribute to another former
Attorney General, Francis Biddle,
who was the American member on
the war crimes tribunal. Judge
Parker said Mr.. Biddle composed
many differences, turned down the
Craftsmanship and insisted that the
senior jurist, a Briton, be given that
honor.
Judge Parker said the trial means
that "the world has finally gotten
around to doing something about
the greatest crime with which the
wickedness of men can afIlict man
kind, the crime of aggressive war"
Nowhere is more clearly demon
strated than in the records Of this
trial the eternal truth that the
foundations of state are not
merely physical, but are spiritual
and moral, and that, when its spirit
ual and moral foundations are de-
stroyed, no state can live or ought
to live" declared Judge Parker.
"The madness Of the tyrants who
ruled Germany brought destruction
upon her at the hands Of the ma
tions whom she had wronged and
attacked; but the record made in
this trial shows that the war. was
not the cause, but an incident of
the ruin which had already come
upon the German people as result
of the rebellion of her leaders
against the moral order Of the uni
verse. II the trial can impress but
this one lesson on the conscience OF
mankind, it will have justified all
the effort it has cost"
