eff the supreme commander has
made a mistake in this instance,
we can only say that he is not the
first man in America who took &C
ton in good faith on the strength
of erroneous legal advice, said the
argument filed with the motions by
the % American and japanese de-
tense attorneys.
The motions on behalf Of all de-
PENDANTS took up one by one the
prosecution evidence on each of the
IS counts in the indictment.
The first SO counts, grouped as
"crimes against peace" were al
legged by the defense to be invalid
on the ground that all treaties
cited reserved to each signatory
nation the right to determine what
constitutes war in self-defense. It
said that all si%gnatories of the KEEL
log-Briand treaty had demanded
such a stipulation and that Japan
had gone to war in self-defense be-
cause of military encirclement'
by the United States, Britain, China
and the Netherlands.
The next is counts, charging
murder, were alleged to be invalid
for the same reasons and also on
the grounds that the prosecution
had failed to show any direct con-
nection of any defendant with an
express order except in connection
with his duties as a government
official.
In regard to the conventional
war crimes alleged in the last three
counts, the defense commended the
prosecution had failed to show that
any of the defendants was person
ally responsible for acts of Japa-
nese commanders in the field who
had control over prisoners of war
and internees.
After receiving the motions, the
tribunal was scheduled to adjourn
for two weeks to give the defense
further time for preparing it's case,

highpowered craft through a series
of rolls and precision flying.
During the maneuvers, the an
nouncer, Kenneth Wooten. kept
warning a character on the land
ing strip to keep clear Of a plane
that was being warmed up. The
man, apparently under the influ-
ence of intoxicants, jumped into
the plane and took off. The plane
skipped, hoped and skidded seve-
raj times and then leaped into the
air. 1t flew upside down, sideways
and cut capers in all sorts of
manner as the crowd watched
breathlessly.
The announcer then revealed that
the pilot was Carl Dunn, Of the
Wilmington Airpark, a former test
pilot for the U. S. Navy and de-
scribed the act as "The way not
to fly a cub" Dunn went through
several maneuvers and with a
small sack of flour attached to the
wing tip he dipped the wing so
close to the ground that the sack
ripped open. 1t was a wonderful
display of airplane handling.
In the finale Beverly Howard
took to the air in his special built
German plane, with which he has
won international fame plotting. He
sent the two-wing BuckerJung-
meister through a difficult series
of snap rolls, upside down flying
and many other aerial stunts. It
was climaxed by a display OF
perfect coordination between the
plane and pilot.
The show was termed a success
in every way and it was announced
that plans will get underway to
stage another show soon.
