Burning Of Jap Secret Files
May Hurt Tojo's Case
BY the Assoeiofed Press

TOKYO, April 24.-Diligence of
the japanese military in burning
secret files after the nations sur
render brought possibly serious COM
plications for ex-Premier Hideki
TOTO and "a other japanese wartime
leaders in their war crimes trial
today.
The International Military Tri-
bunal ruled out testimony of defense
witnesses who sought to recount
from memory contents of japanese
secret documents on the outbreak of
hostilities with China in 1887.
Such second hand testimony will
not be allowed, the Allied court de-
creed, unless counsel can establish
that nothing else is available. De-
tense attorneys are reluctant to do
this since, they said privately, it
would be an admission of the vio-
lation of surrender terms laid down
by Gen. Macarthur at Manila to
Japanese emissares. The Japanese
were expressly forbidden to destroy
any official files or documents.
1t long has been rurored that
some japanese in key positions pre-
served copies of some highly secret
papers supposedly destroyed by order

Six Gestapo Men TO Die
For Lidice Destruction
By the Assoeioted Press

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, April
24.-Gestapo Chief Harold Wiesman
and five of his men were sentenced
to death by hanging today for the
destruction of Lidice.
Nine other Gestapo men were
convicted of participating in the
Nazi razing of the little Bohemian
village and the slaughter of its men.
They were sentenced to prison terms
ranging from nine to 80 years. One
other was convicted, but no sentence
pronounced as yet.
Lidice, destroyed in 1912, in re-
prisal for the assassination of Rein
hard Heydrich, Hitler's protector
of Czechoslovakia, became a world
symbol of Nazi savagery.
The 38-year-old Wiesman and the
others sentenced to die by the Peo-
pies Court probably will go to the
galloWs within "a hours.

To 'Flimsy P'refexi'
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 24.-Gerhart
Eisler, self-described German Com
munist awaiting trial on two Fed
eral charges, delayed a news con-
ference for IS minutes late yesterday
while waiting for Howard Rushmore,
New York Journal-American re-
porter, to withdraw.
Milton kaufman, executive direc-
tor of the Civil Rights Congress,
objected to Mr.. Rushmore's presence
and called police. The reporter, who
said later he had written anti Com
munist stories, eventually agreed to
leave.
Mr. kaufman said the Journal
American had not been invited to
send a reporter to the news con-
ference; Mr.. Rushmore said he came
at the direction of his city editor.
Eisler, when the press conference
began, said he had been arrested
under the ridiculous, f1imsy pretext
of being a dangerous alien"
He is under two Federal indict-
ments, one for alleged contempt of
the House Un-American Activities
Committee and the other for alleg-
edly making false statements in an
application for an exit permit in
1945. He called the charges "trumped
up" and said he had mot the slight
est hope to get fair trial"
Eisler, free on $4,000 bail, saw
reporters at the headquarters of the
Civil Rights Congress.

ing on the application of the Chesa-
peake g. Potomac Telephone Co. for
permanent rate increase was to
continue today before the Public
Service Commission, with testimony
by Donald r. Belcher, treasurer of
the American Telephone & Tele-

Mr.. Belcher told the commission
yesterday that the Bell System may
require new capital in the order of
$2,500,000,000 to be raised from in
vestors during the next few years. "
He added, THE only way I know
to raise this enormous amount of
capital over such a short period of
time and do it on a sound basis is
to have adequate earnings to MAIN
tain system credit. Thus, in a very
real sense, the success of the ex-
pansion program is dependent on
increased earnings"
The required earnings" OF the
Maryland company, in relation to
the required earnings" q the sys-
tenn, as a whole, were notsstated by
Mr.. Belcher.
An objection ito the use of over
all Bell System data and the allo-
cation to the Maryland company of
portion of it" was reserved by

Papers Were Stolen
BY the Associated Press

GENEVA, April 24.-Francisco
Urritia, who was in charge of United
Nations Balkans Commission docu-

he believed the papers were lost,
rather than stolen.
Secretary General Trygve Lie
reported at Lake Success, N. Y,
yesterday that suitcase full of
documents had disappeared while
the diplomatic party was en- route
to Geneva from Greece, but he
added there was no indication of
theft. An inquiry is under way.
Mr.. Urritia, who is Colombia S
Minister to Belgium, was in charge
of the 10-man group which gathered
the material in the documents. He
said the papers contained verbatim
statements by individuals who con-
tended they had been exiled by the

were Communists, and the list of
material probably could be
compiled by the delegates who were
on the team. He said the suitcase
probably was lost before the dele

The American Bar Association,
Mr.. Rix declared, is seeking always
to improve the administration of
Justice as the Keystone" OF our
