Tokyo Trial Witness
Tells Of 81 Plot by
Army 10 Bomb Diet
BY the Atsoeioted Press

TOKYO, June ga witness
in the war crimes trial of "a
fallen Japanese leaders testified
today that militarists in 1881
plotted to bomb the Diet and
seize power, but said under
cross -examinat ton the bombs &C
tually were "f1recrackers" de-
signed only to scare the law
makers.
The prosecuting witness, Kono-
suke Shimizu, in whose home the
bombs" were hidden, told the In
ternational War Crimes Tribunal
they would make loud noise and
not hurt any one"
Another witness, Marquis Yoshi-
chika Tokugawa, paciflst, said he
helped avert the incident by per-
suading DR.. Shumei Okawa, a plot
ring leader now on trial, to give up
the conspiracy.
Tokugawa declared he then in
duced Shimizu to return the
bombs" to the army because it was
"too early" to seize the government.
Mukden Incident Substituted.
In direct testimony, Shimizu as
serted the plot was designed as a
forerunner for the japanese Army's
grab in Manchuria, but it was aban-
doned and the Infamous Mukden in
cident was substituted.
ShimiZu's testimony, read from an
affidavit that did not make his own
background clear, gave this version
of the alleged plot:
Okawa was to have led a mob into
the Diet. Okawa, with Col. Kingoro
Hashimoto, also a defendant, and
other army leaders had planned the
coupe.
| Okawa later told Shimizu that the
plot had failed because the mill
tary had backed out-and that Gen.
Kuniaki Kioso (another of the de-
fendants) reported 1T is a direct
order from the army that this plot
be abandoned"
Later. in August, 1881, Okawa told

Enlisted Mems
Terminal Leave Pay

Attesting Bill Colmer's interest
in seeing justice given World Wal
II veterans, Honorable Dwight L
Rogers, Member of Congress from
Florida. who authored the bill to
grant terminal leave pay to en-
listed men and women, wrote the
South Mississippi Representative,
as follows:
Honorable William M. Colmer
House of Representatives
Washington, D. C.
My dear Bill:
AS the author of H. r. 4051 which
grants terminal leave pay to the
enlisted men and women of the
armed forces, I want to express
my deep appreciation for your
valuable assistance in assisting me
in getting this Bill to the floor of
the House. Because of your eff
forts and your standing on the
Rules Committee, you were again
able to render some very valuable
assistance to veterans of World
War II. Through your long exper-
fence as a legislator and your
knowledge of parliamentary pro-
cedure, you were able to render a
valuable contribution in getting the
Bill up for consideration.
AS you well stated, there is no
justice in granting this terminal
pay to officers and not to the
enlisted personnel.
I have observed your work and
cooperation both in Committee and
the floor in behalf of Veterans
legislation throughout my tenure
of office here, and I am sure that
the veterans of both World War I
and II, not only of your State and
District but of the entire nation,
appreciate your efforts in their be-
half. You have shown a devotion
not only by a word but by action
and deed.
Thanking you again and with
kindest personal regards, I am,
Sincerely yours.
Dwight L Rogers.

Among the many letters of praise
from Government leaders that
have come to Bill Colmer is the
following from Secretary of Agri-

observe Colmer's work at first
hand:
Hon. William M. Colmer
House of Representatives
Dear MI. Colmer:
Allow me to commend you for
the support you have always CIV
en- agricultural legislation. Your
constituents are to be c%ongratu-
lated for continuing to elect you
as their Representative. Your
record in support of legislation af-
fecting American agriculture de-
serves the approval not only of the
farmers of your district but of
every one of your constituents.
You have been most helpful as a
member of the Rules Committee
Because of your keen interest l.
the welfare of the farmers and
your ability to get things done you
have been instrumental in clear
ing for consideration of the House
much needed agricultural leglsla
ton. You have consistently sup.
ported constructive agriculture
proposals on the floor of the
House.
AS your colleague for several
years in the House of Representa-
tives it was always a pleasure to
cooperate with you in framing anc
securing passage of bills designed
to aid agriculture. Although I am
now serving in another capacity
it is good to know that your in
terest and your efforts have been
and will continue to be in behalf
of constructive agricultural legis-
lation.
I know that your constituents
share with me complete confidence
in you and will join me in ex-
pressing appreciation for the very
splendid work you have done and
will continue to do as their Rep
resentative in Congress.

his high sense of duty, and his

Colleagues Honor
COImer

Congressman VIM. M. Colmer
Representative of the Sixth Dis
trict of Mississippi, has been sig
nally honored by his colleagues.
In the 10th Congress he was ell
evated to membership on the i'm
portant Rules Committee. In the
77th Congress the Speaker of the
House, Hon. Sam Rayburn, picked
him as one of the two Members
of the House on the National For
est Reservation commission. In the
18th Congress he was named as
Chairman of the Postwar Econ
omic Policy and Planning Commit
tee.
His selection to fill one of the
four Democratic vacancies on the
Rules Committee was a signal
honor, for places on this policy
making committee are very much
sought after. Many people regard
the Rules Committee as the most
powerful in the House. Certainly
it ranks with Ways and Means
and Appropriations in Importance
Before any important measure can
come to the floor of the House for
consideration, it must first get the
green light" from the Rules Com
mittee. The action of the Com
mittee on Committees in selecting
the South Mississippian was said
to have been unanimous.
Further recognition of the Sixth
Mississippi District came when its
Representative was named as the
Democratic Congressman on the
National Forest Reservation Com
mission. MIR. Colmer serves on this
Commission with three members
of the Presidents Cabinet, Secre-
tary of War Patterson, Secretary
of Interior Krug, and Secretary of
Agriculture Anderson. The other
Members of Congress on it are Sen
ator George ID, Ga.), Senator
Bridges (R, N. H., and Congress-
man Woodruff (R.. Mich.). The
Commission passes on the asquisi-
ton of all land for reforestation
purposes.
Congressman Colmer's selection
as Chairman of the House Special
Committee on Postwar Economic
Policy and Planning has made him
a national figure. Under his lead
ership the committee of ten Dem
ocrats and eight Republicans has
received favorable comment from
newspapers throughout the coun-
try, including the great metropoli-
tan papers. The work of the COM
mittee has earned the respect of
Members of Congress from all
parties.

Fight For Decent Pension For

that the needy aged of all states
should share alike in old age bens-
fits. At present payments Under
the old age assistance program
vary from around $40 in the rich
er states to 81 or So in the poorer.
Colmer has taken the position that
the aged should not be penalized
simply because they happen to live
N a state whose resources will not
permit it to match the Federal
funds on the present $3.50 basis.
When the Social Security Act
was first introduced, Colmer point
ed out to the Ways and Means
Committee that it would require at
least $40, SOC, 900 for Mississippi,
his home state, to meet the re-
quirements set out in the bill.
whereas the total receipts of the
State the year before were only
$14, COO, 900.
"Old age pensions and the care
of crippled children should be
recognized as a national problem"
he told the Committee. Therefore,
if this committee concludes that 1t
is impractical to make as much as
$50 a month contribution to the
needy aged by the Federal Gov
eminent, the provision requiring
the equal contribution by the
State or other subdivision of the
government should be eliminated.
And these needy persons in this
aged class, who have contributed
so substantially to the unbuilding
of this Government, should at least
be permitted to enjoy whatever a
mount in the form of a pension
is granted by the Federal Govern
ment."
When the Committee failed to
act fayorably upon his suggestion,
ne carried the question to the
floor and waged an almost SINGLE
handed fight in behalf of the aged
Of the poorer states. He introduced
a compromise amendment cutting
drastically the amount that the
State would have to contribute.
In 1899, when the Social Security
Amendments were before Congress,
another attempt was made to in
crease the Federal contribution In
The poorer states. Close to 100
Members of the House banded to-
as a steering committee and
Mr.. Colmer as their chair
nan. At that time the Administra- !
ion was opposed to a change in
he matching basis, and they were
)ut-voted.
Colmer has proposed legislation
