Japs Planned Invasion
OF Soviet During His
Reign, Pu-yi Says
BY the Assoeiossd Press

TOKYO. Aug. 20.-Henry Pu-yi
in garrulous mood, testified today
that Japan made opium addiets of
Manchurians to keep down revolt
and was planning an invasion OF
Soviet Russia while he was puppet
ruler OF Manchufia, but later suf-
fered a severe lapse of memory
under defense questioning.
Pu-yi fenced off every defense
effort to get MIN to admit that
in the late 1920s there was any
banditry under Chinese generals
that the Manchurians were op-
pressed or that warlords burdened
their people with taxes.
In two and one-half hours OF
cross-examination. the defense drew
nothing more explicit than Il don't
remember" His monotonous re-
plies set judges of the international
war crimes tribunal to shaking their
heads in evaporation.
But Pu-yi brimmed over with
information for the prosecution
earlier.
Testifying that Japan made opium
addicts of the Manchurian people
he declared the Japanese Kwan-
tung Army promised it would sup
press the use of the narcotic, but
instead built up an opium business
that netted 5000 900 900 profit yearly
Japan even sold official permits
for opium smoking" he said.
Then Pu-yi told the court that
Russia had no aggressive plans
against Manchuria during his rule
but I have reason to conclude
that the japanese were making
military preparations to invade the
Soviet"
Pu-yi is in Soviet custody, anc
Is expected to be returned to Mos.

Suit Seeks Freedom
For American Who
Broadcast for Japs

Suit was filed today In District
Court In an attempt to gain freedom
for an American born newspaper
man now held by United States
Army officials In China in connec-
ton with his, Shanghai news broad
casts during the Japanese occupa-
ton.
A petition for a writ of habeas
corpus was filed on behalf of Robert
Donald Chisholm by Attorney Ed
ward B. williams. Mr.. williams
said that Chisholm is a native of
Baltimore who conducted gossip
column for the Shanghai Express
before the war.
The attorney said he had been
engaged by Chisholm's mother to
handle the case and that he was
seeking information on Chisholm's
activities in the United States be-
fore going to China IA years ago.
According to the attorney, CHS
holm. who is 40, has been held in
custody since October, 1s45. without
having any specific charges filed
against him. All efforts to learn
the nature of the charges have
been in vain, he asserted.
Mr.. Williams said his client was
seized by the Japs in Shanghai
shortly after Pearl Harbor and
spent several months In Jail CHS
holm was then released by the
Japs, who ordered him to make
news broadcasts over a Shanghai
station literally at the point of
gun" The attorney asserted that
after a few months of broadcasting
Chisholm purposely inflicted on
himself a wound which made 1t
impossible to continue his broad
casts.
Mr.. Williams said he did not know
| the nature of the wound.
When American forces entered
Shanghai Chisholm was arrested
the attorney said. The suit names
Secretary of War Patterson as re-
spondent and states that Chisholm
is presently confined in the Ward
Road Jail in Shanghai.

Threaten 10 Attack
|StronqhoIds Of Reds
BY the kssoeiossd Press

PEIPING, Aug. 20.-The gov
ernment today confirmed that it
had dispatched a blunt memo
randum to the Chinese Commu-
nists threatening to attack the
Communist strongholds of Ye-
nan, Kalgan and Chengteh to
relieve government troops de-
Tending besieged Tatung.
Earlier the Yenan radio had re-
ported the government threat, and
said such attacks would mean the
start of full-scale civil war.
1t. Gen. Tsai Wen-chih, govern
ment chief of staff at executive
(truce) headquarters in Peiping,
said the memorandum was sent by
Gen. Cheng Kai-min to Communist
Gen. Yeh Chien-ying, both COM
missioners at executive headquar-
ters.
Evidently failure of executive
headquarters to halt the Communist
attack on Tatung, coal and rail
center 125 miles west of Peiping,
had prompted Gen. Chengs threat,
which many mere regarded as a
possible trial balloon on the part
of the government
New Fighting in Shansi.
Military news was lacking from
Tatung itself. but the Catholic
newspaper vi Shin Pao reported a
new outbreak of fighting in Shansi
Province along the south section
of the Tatung -Puchow railroad. The
Communists were said to have cap
tured Hingtung and isolated the
village of Chaocheng.
Fall Of encircled Tatung has been
reported imminent
The first setback for executive
headquarters in attempting to settle
1.-The Tatung dispute occurred when a
cease-flre team went into the field
to meet the Communist attackers.
The Communist team member
promptly disappeared. Without him
the team no longer could function,
so it withdrew.
The Yenan radio, proclaiming
that attacks on its main cities would
launch full-scale civil war, reported
that one government plane dis
turbed" Yenan Monday, and that six
civilians were killed and II wounded
in Kalgan August 13 by government
planes.
Government publicat tions reported
casualties in the northern fighting
were averaging 1000 a day, includ-
ing both sides.

quarters special team investigating

with testimony taken from Marines
and Army officers who were in the

A Government Official had ex-
pressed fears for the safety of the
team, which had been unreported
for so hours
The team will return to Hsiangho

ably tomorrow, to interview Com

A compromise solution to give the
Soviet free access at all times to the
strategic waterway between the
Black Sea and the Mediterranean
may be sought at an international
conference which British sources
predict will be called this year.
This Governments fat opposition
to Russian proposals, which almost
certainly would involve establish
ment of Soviet military bases in the
Dardanelles, was said to have been
made clear in note which Acting
Secretary of State Acheson deliv-
cred yesterday to Fedor Orekhov,
charge d'affaires of the Soviet En-
bassy here. Similar action by Great
Britain was reported from London.
Note to Be Made Public.
Mr.. Acheson told a news confer
ence today that he had handed to
Mr., Orekhov late yesterday a note
giving this Governments comments
on the Soviet proposal, and that he
would make the note public tomor-
row after giving time for its trans
mission to Moscow
He declined to give any details
OF the American view in the mean
time. but its purport was made
known by other diplomatic officials.
Mr.. Acheson said copies of the note
to Russia were being sent to Turkey
and other signatories of the Mon
treaux treaty.
In London British Foreign Office

opposition to the Russian demands
He said. the Associated Press re-

British governments were reported
reliably today to have handed notes

The notes were not published. but
they were presumed to express op-
position to the Russian demand.
The parliamentary group of the
ruling Peoples party met today and
studied the Turkish reply to Russia
Russia recently proposed to Tur-
key that the Dardanelles be de-
Tended jointly by Turkish and Soviet
forces and that future control poll
