Ruling on Tojo' 5 Fate
Due 10 Be Requested
From Supreme Court
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Jan. PA final decision
on the fate of former Premier Hideki
TOTO and 26 other japanese war
crimes defendants may rest with
the United States Supreme Court,
Defense Attorney David F. Smith
said today in seeking dismissal of
the indictment.
Mr.. Smith explained to newsmen
that his procedure would be to file
suit in Washington to restrain the
Secretary of War, under whose au-
thority Gen. Macarthur is acting,
from carrying out any sentence of
the international tribunal which is
approved by Gen. Macarthur as re-
viewing officer.
The case then would be taken to
the Supreme Court for argument on
the authority of Gen. Macarthur
and of the tribunal.
Mr.. Smith earlier was rebuked
by Sir William Webb, tribunal pres
ident, for challenging the authority
of Gen. Macarthur as supreme
Allied commander.
Although Sir William allowed the
defense to place its challenge OF
Gen. MacArthur's authority in the
record, he refused to hear it read in
court.
The defense in its move for dis.
missal contended that q conspiracy
among the defendants to violate
international law and treaties haG
not been proved, that the Pear
Harbor attack was not pertinent tt
the trial because the United States
had received adequate warning
through intercepted Japanese mes.
sages. and that hearsay evidence
and affidavits had been admitted
thus prejudicing the rights of the
defendants to a fair trial.
In challenging the validity of Gen
MacArthur's creation of the three.
power tribunal, the defense argued
that the United States Constitution
reserved only to Congress the right
to enter into international agree
ments, and Gen. Macarthur, a
United States citizen, acted without
congressional authority. ,

Empty Storage Tanks
To Be Tested Today
In Gasoline Seepage

Three empty gasoline storage tanks
were to be tested today in an at
tempt to determine the source of
the mysterious seepage which has
filled wells in Arlington's Fifth and
North Pollard streets area with gaso-
line.
The three tanks belong to the

Maj. j. F. Mckay of the Army

ty Manager Frank C. Hanrahan
today regarding drilling in the area.
Mr.. Hanrahan said Saturday, how
ever, that the drilling would not
begin until all storage tanks, in
cluding the three empty ones, had
been tested. The drilling is ex-
pected to determine the direction
of the flow and the area covered
by the gasoline.
More than 5000 gallons of gaso-
line have been taken from the wells.
Bureau of Standards tests failed to
determine the source. Checks Of

The Bureau of Standards tests

be determined.

Seen as Motive in
Shooting Of VeIez
By Ernie Hill
Foreign Correspondent Of The Stor and
the Chicooo Daily News


MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-A lust
for wealth is the motive behind
Mexicos current real-life gangster
thriller.
According to federal agents here
Movie Star Jorge Velez, twice
plugged by would-be assassins and
now recuperating in a hospital, is
the target in a fantastic plot to pre-
vent his sharing in the fortune OF
the late Maximino Avila Camacho
brother of Mexico's former president
This fortune is estimated at up to
$50, 100000.
Valez, matinee idol in Mexico
married MaXimino's widow in civil
ceremony last December. But be-
cause such marriages are often open
to attack in the courts, the couple
have been trying to go to Rome to
get papal permission for a church
wedding.
Velez was wounded last month
when he announced that he and
Margarita Richardi planned to be
married. Thwarted romances were
among the theories for the attack.
But the newest effort to murder
the couple has led the police to be-
lieve that Maximino's fortune is
really at the bottom of the fast
moving plot. yb
Velez was shot in the neck and
right hand, and his wife was
wounded in the left arm when they
were ambushed by machine gunners
last Saturday while en- route by
automobile to the airport to en-
bark for Brownsville, New York and
Rome With them was Teresa Bon
flgli de Richardi, sister-in-law of
Mrs. Velez, who was killed.
The late MaXimino, a fabulous
character, and his wife had moved
in this country's top social circles.
He was a close friend of former
King Carol of Romania and AXel
Wenner-Gren, Swedish magnate,
while they lived here during the war.
Maximino travelled to the United
States frequently and was well
known in New York and Washing
ton. AS Minister of Communica-
tions while his brother Manuel was
President, he was in charge of road
construction, railroads and other
communications facilities.
He once staged free public bar
becue and bullfight in his home
town of Puebla after returning from
long trip.
His fortune was distributed in
several banks and some were even
hidden in cash when he died. The
largest chunk is said to be on de-
posit in a New York bank
Both Velez and his wife are close
ly guarded by police at the French
sanitarium here Velez, who obvi-
ously wants to get out of Mexico,
stated after the second attempt on
his life that he no longer trusted
even the police.
Arrests are expected quickly since
most of Mexico's detectives and gov
ernment agents have dropped all
other cases to concentrate on the
Velez thriller.

NEA Denies Charge !
0fCompany Unionism
In Teaching Crisis

A charge by the American Fereda-
tion of Labor that the present crisis
in public education was caused by
company unionism" sponsored by
the National Education Association
brought immediate denial today
from William E. Givens, NEA exec
utive secretary.
The charge was made in an article
by Irwin r. KuenZli national secre-
ltary-treasurer of the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers (AFD. in the
American Federationist, the Official
monthly magazine of the union fed
Grafton.
The article laid most OF the blame
for the crisis at the feet of the NEA
and affiliated State and local teach
ers' organizations.
The tragic conditions facing the
schools today, the low professional
status of teaching, the exodus OF
teachers from the profession and the
fact that few young persons are pre-
pairing themselves for the profession
are graphic as well as tragic evil
dence of the complete failure OF
independent associations to proyise
for the professional interests OF the
teacher" Mr.. Kuenzli said.
Asks Bona Eide" Unions.
Organization of strong teachers
unions affiliated with organized la
Dor is the logical solution of the
crisis facing the schools" he stated.
Company unions among teachers
must be replaced by bona fide unions
controlled by the teachers them
| selves, he continued.
CA company union is one fos-
tered or dominated by the man
agement.)
Mr.. Givens said the NEA is pro-
fessional organization of all educa-
tors, not dominated by any one
group.
I'VE. believe in our democratic
form of government that teachers
should be in an all-inclusive pro-
fessional organization of school peo-
pie which stands on its own feet and
fights its own battles" he stated.
1--WE believe we will be supported
by the American people"
Mr.. Givens declared any group
which tries to split the school pep
pie into opposing camps of teachers
and officers is doing "disservice
to the cause of education and to the
interests of the teachers"
Praises Based on Surveys.
"The teacher salary survey which
the NEA has been making every
two years for the past rs years has
been the basis for every salary in
crease gained by the teachers" he
maintained.
Miss Myrtle Moore, president OF
the Joint Legislative Council which
is composed of representatives Of
"A District teachers groups, also
said the charges were unfounded.
Miss Moore said the local affiliate
of the NEA, the Education Associa-
ton of the District of Columbia, was
not dominated by administrative
officials Many of the officers are
classroom teachers and although the
president this year is an admins
trative officer, many times in past
years classroom teacher has held
the position, Miss Moore said.
