Tojos' Trial Near End,

There is every indication that the
II justices of the Allied tribunal viii
give their verdict by the first weel
in June, and Gen. Macarthur is not
expected to take more than a week
or two to review 1t.
The trial Of the former japanese
Premier, now in the closing -argu-
ments stage, will be two years old or
June 3. The indictments were
handed down April 40, 1s46.
Under the present timetable Is ex.
pected to conclude its arguments BY
April IL. The prosecution then may
offer brief rebuttal argument anc
the case will go to the justices.
BY that time they will have heard
more than 10000 words of testi.
mony and arguments and will have
seen more than 3,915 exhibits.
They estimate that 1t will take
them no more than six weeks to two
months to write their verdict, how
ever.
Under military tribunal procedure
Gen. Macarthur, as supreme COM
mander of the occupation, has the
sole right to pass on any appeal
His Office gets a copy of the daily
record, and his consideration Is ex-
pected to require little time.
Defense counsel are so certain he
will act swiftly that they already
are planning to establish an office
in Washington to make a quick
appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court.
The Supreme Court, however, has
shown little inclination to act in wal
crimes cases. It did not intervene In
the case of the German leaders at
Neurnberg or in the execution of 1t
Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita, who was
tried in the Philippines under Gen
MacArthur's jurisdiction.

S.-A big airplane that carries q

several spectacular aeronautical ad-
vances being used here by the Air

The mother ship Is the giant Air

which, despite its versatility, still
cannot land on the equivalent OF a
sandlot ball field. That's where a
much smaller plane the new vultee

within the Packet until the larger
ship lands as close as possible to
the scene. Then q crew sets I'D the

Here at selfridge, the 9Th Air

The whole setup Is only two years

Parker Transactions

Two trustees of the Edward w
Scripps trust, in statement yester-
day, assumed full responsibility for
trust stock transactions Of George

Scripps- Howard Newspapers. Mr.
Parker, who lives at 1910 Twenty
fourth street NV, was sued Thurs
day in District Court here and ac-
cused of illegally enriching him.
self by at least $984,00o at the ex-
pense Of the trust.
The two trustees are Robert p,
Scripps and Charles E. Scripps,
borthers of Mrs. Nackey Scripps
Gallowhur, Reading Farms, Read
ing, VT, who sued Mr.. Parker and
others. Edward w. Scripps founded
the newspaper chain that bears his
name and created the trust.
Regarding the suit. the Scripps
brothers said in statement from
San Diego, Calf.
I'VE are convinced that the ac-
cusations against Mr.. George B
Parker brought by our sister. Mrs
Gallowhur. are without moral or
legal justification.
Reputation Is Defended.
"Mr. Parker has devoted his life
to our concern. There is no one In
journalism more respected for in
tegrity, personal and professional.
I'VE are two of three trustees
who control the Scripps-H Howard
concern. We are familiar with the
business transactions in question
We approve of these transactions
and take full responsibility for the
trusts action therein.
I'VE, like Mrs. Gallowhur, are
beneficiaries Of the Edward w
Scripps trust. We believe that Mr..
Parkers association and dealings
with the concern and with the
trust have been greatly to our per-
sonal benefit"
Brothers Also Named in Suit.
The Scripps brothers and the
third trustee, Roy w. Howard, were
named with other relatives by Mrs.
Gallowhur as nominal defendants.
She is the 24-year- -old grsnddaugh-
ter of Edward w. Scripps and ac-
cused Mr.. Parker in the complaint
of Illegally depicting the trust by
the profits he made while a trustee.
Mr.. Parker was named trustee in
1888 and served until 1945 when
Charles E. Scripps reached the age
OF Is and succeeded him.
Edward w. scripps prior to his
death set up the trust mainly for
his heirs. Now Mrs. Gallowhur
wants an accounting from Mr..
Parker and has asked the court to
require him to return 10000 shares
of Glass A common stock of the
E. W. Scripps Co. to the trust, as
well as stock profits and dividends
resulting from the transactions.

Women Hear Marlin
Warn Of Effort 10 Blast
Faith in Congress

Speaker Martin said today that
saboteurs could execute a sudden
coup and take over the Govern
ment" If what he described as a
powerful campaign being waged to
destroy confidence In Congress Is
successful.
Speaker Martin made the state
ment in an address before the Ma
tional Association of Women Broad
casters.
He said that America for years
has harbored thousands OF people
who would sabotage our American
system of freedom and bring our
people and our Government under
the sway of an alien theology and
foreign clique of rulers"
And for years." he continued
there has been "a very powerful,
highly sustained. well-financed and
cleverly -managed campaign OF
sabotage in some of the press. over
some radio microphones, and on
some public rostruns, to destroy
the confidence of the people in the
Congress as an institution"
Asks Fight on sinister Forces"
If this confidence can be de-
stroyed so that people put their
faith in powers of control, regi-
mentation and restriction concen-
trated in the executive department,
Speaker Martin said, then the peo-
pie will have been defeated and free
government shackled.
when that has been accom-
plished, it would be simple for the
saboteurs to carry out campaign
of destruction against the executive
department. execute a sudden coup
and take over the Government" he
continued.
Speaker Martin urged the women
broadcasters to combat the sinister
forces which cook up these canards, .
distort facts and feed them out
for the very specific purpose of dis
crediting the Congress in the opin-
ion of the people"
The Speaker said Congress can,
does and should take issue often
with the executive branch on ex-
penditures. taxation, powers and re-
strictions.
The very essence Of American
ISM" he said, lis proposal, disagree
ment, discussion and compromise
Whenever anyone, or any two,
branches OF the Government can
put a stop to that kind Of system,

They said it might work in the
case of countries. like Argentina

They expressed fear, however, that
it might fail In others where this
situation does not exist. Also, they
said that not all Latin-American
countries could supply enough food
to pay for all the United States
machinery they need.
Another change was urged by the
Maritime Commission, which fatty
opposed the plans suggestion for
the transfer of 500 American ships
to the nations of Western Europe.
Chairman w. w. Smith, submitting
the annual Maritime Commission
report to Congress, said he is in
full sympathy with the overall
obiectives' of the Marshall Plan,
but added:
The sale, charter, loan or out
right grant to participating nations
of any United States vessels in addi-
ton to the large number already
approved for sale to them would be
contrary to the best interests OF
the American merchant marine"
The American shipping industry
already is falling behind that OF
some foreign countries, said Mr.
Smith.
