D. {. Health Leaders
To Study Licensing Of
Clinical Psychologists

District health leaders will meet
December 13 to study proposal
that Congress require licensing here
of clinical psychologists concerned
with medical treatment.
The proposed bill has been drawn
up by a committee of the District
Psychological Association at the re-
quest of Health Oficer George C..
Rutland. It was presented at an
association meeting last night by
the groups retiring president, DR..
Isabelle Kendig, chief psychologist
at st. Elizabeths Hospital.
DR.. Rutland said he requested the
proposal to restrict certain persons
who are imposing on the public nov
by claiming to be able to cure
any ill.,
At present, he said, there is no
restriction on such practice by un-
qualified psychologists.
Dr. Kendig emphasized that the
legislation would not affect psychol-
ogists working in such fields as edu-
cational or vocational training.
The point at ISSUE" she said, "is
where counseling enters the field of
actual therapy."
A few well-qualified clinical psy-
biologists have private practices,
put most of them work in mental
hygiene clinics and hospitals, she
said.
The proposed bill would define
clinical psychologists activities as
"counseling, interviewing. admin
istering and interpreting tests of
mental abilities and personality
characteristics for the purpose Of
psychological diagnosis and therapy,
including re-education, guidance
and readjustment."
The proposal would set up a
special board to issue licenses. Quail
ifications, in addition to examina-
tions, DR.. Kendig said, would in
clude citizenship, Ph. D. in psy-
chology and four years Of pre-
professional training.
DR.: Kendig's committee will meet
December 9 to consider possible re-
visions of the proposal. 1t then
will be taken to the meeting with
DR.. Rutland, which is expected to
be attended by officials Of medical
schools and the District Medical
Society.

Fu|bright Joins Lodge
In Sponsoring Change
In Electoral System
By Chalmers M. Roberts

Senator Fulbright, Democrat,
of Arkansas has accepted the in
vitation of Senator Lodge, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts,. to join in
bipartisan sponsorship Of the
amendment to change the electoral
college system of electing the Presi-
dent.
The Lodge amendment, approved
by the Senate Judiciary Committee
in the Eightieth Congress, would
apportion the electoral votes of a
State on the basis of the popular
vote rather than given the entire
vote to the candidate with the
highest popular vote.
! The Arkansas Senator, in accept
ing the invitation yesterday. said
the reform Is long overdue" and
the Lodge -Gossett amendment is
the best solution I have SEEN"
Representative Gossett, Democrat,
of Texas, is the House sponsor. The
measure also won approval of the
House Judiciary Committee, but
must go before both committees in
the new Congress.
Senator Fulbright said that one
reason for his support is "the fact
that some electors may ignore the
popular vote" in casting their elec-
toral votes this year. There has
been talk Of this in Alabama, Ten
nessee and Louisiana among others.
Several other Southern Demo-
cratic Senators also have Endorsed
the bill as the best solution to the
South's position in the Democratic
Party. They feel it would open the
South to the two-party system. thus
ending the feeling among Northern
Democrats that the South is solid
and safe" If this were to occur,
they contend, the national party
would pay more attention to the
South's feelings on such issues as
civil rights.
Senator Fulbright pointed out that
the amendment would not alter the
number of electoral votes each State
now has on the total Of the number
of its Senators and Representatives.

Webb Puts Blame for War
Directly on Emperor

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. 30 R.-
Sir William Webb. president of the
International Military Tribunal
which tried top Japanese war lead
ers. said today that Emperor Hiro-
hito was directly responsible for the
war.
Sir William returned yesterday
from Tokyo to resume his work as a
member of the Australian high
court.
He said Hirohito had acted as II
he were a constitutional monarch
in accepting advice from his
counselors to declare war.
In reality Hrohito was at that
time monarch with absolute
powers and could have rejected the
advice to wage war;" Sir William
said.
It was for that reason, he added
that he had named Hirohito as q
Leader in the crime" of Japan's wal
criminals, but it was not within the
International Tribunals power tc
have the Emperor brought to trial.

Jap Executions Wait
Until Supreme Court
Decides on Appeals
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Nov. 3O.-Wartime
Premier Hideki TOTO and six
other top Japanese warmakers
won an eleventh-hour respite to-
day from the hangman's moose.
Gen. Macarthur said they would
certainly not" be executed until
the Supreme Court of the United
States has acted on appeals by two
of the condemned men.
The next scheduled meeting Of
the Supreme Court is December 6.
Of the Supreme Court rejects
the appeal next Monday, as 1t
did a similar petition by German
war criminals, Japan's warmak-
ers could be hanged December
on the seventh anniversary Of
Pearl Harbor)
The appeals from the Internation-
al Military Tribunals verdict were
filed in Washington yesterday in
behalf of former Premier Koki
Hirota, who helped plot Japan's pre-
Pearl Harbor war plans, and Gen.
Kenji Doihara, known to the Chi
nese as the Bird of Evil Omen"
The Associated Press asked the
Supreme Allied Command whether
Gen. Macarthur would recognize
the appeal and order the execution
of these two men delayed or whether
he will ignore the appeal"
This brought the following state
A,th h,,rsr D,,l, In
Information Office:
"In reply to a query from the press
as to whether the condemned jap
anese war criminals would be ex-
ecuted before action could be taken
on appeal to the Supreme Court of
the United States, Gen. Macarthur
categorically replied Certainly not >
Later the Public Information Of
flee said this applied to all seven
major war makers, although only two
appealed.
Despite the delay, Gen. Mac
Arthur's press officers announced
they would continue their 24-hour
death watch. Presumably the watch
would be to handle news of suicide
attempts, or similar developments.
The japanese continued to pre-
pare for the death of the seven.
Tojo and the six others all took the
same Buddhist name to identify
their spirits in the after world.
Roughly translated the name means
eternal life"
Usually names for the after world
are assigned by Buddhist priest
after death. But their death seems
so certain they chose their own.
Defense Attorney Ichiro Kiyose ex-
planned that because of their prom
inence they we're privileged to adopt
deceased names OF the highest class.
Epitaphs to Be Placed.
An epitaph will be placed in a
shrine in the home of each family
so they may worship the departed
spirit. Each will end with the mans
given name. The family name will
be dropped as needless. For TOTO,
after death it will be Eternal Life
| Hideki."
A Japan Religious Federation dele
CATION handed Allied headquarters
religious section a petition today
asking that the bodies of all seven
condemned men be returned to their
families after the execution. This
was a protest against the Army's
plans to dispose of the ashes secretly.
