AS result of these emergency
calls, DR.. Rutland says, the District
may be loaded with charges from
hospitals which could be avoided, If
the regulations defined emergency
cases.

NEWSPAPER URGES
SUPREME CRIT. REVIEW
JAP DEATH SENTENCES

a mainland newspaper, the
st. Louis Star Times, editori-
ally urged the United States
Supreme Court to review the
death sentences passed on the
former japanese war crimi-
nails, If the men are hanged It
will be just plain murder, the
paper is alleged to have stated.
Legally these men are not
guilty, as charged, since there
was no law to that effect be-
fore the war and they felt they
were merely defending their
country, against what they
considered a threat to- their
future existence.
