Find a person who nasn't had an
embarrassing experience and it's
probably someone who's been on d
desert island for the past 20 years!
Everybody has 'em, and the recol-
lections of them usually stay with
you longer even than memories of
happy times. Like that of girl
know who still remembers the day,
five years ago, when she accidentally
spilled a cup of water on another
femme she was trying to impress.
She did, in reverse! The two are
good friends today, but still the girl
can't forget the incident and she
bushes irWardly every time she
remembers 1t.
They MADE movie ("Margie")
about a girl who couldn't keep her
ah. unmentionables UP, and 1t seems
she has many a real life counter
part. These range from the teen
ager who dropped hers while cross
ing the campus of boys school
to the dignified white-haired lady
who lost hers while grocery store
shopping.
The most embarrassing expert
ence I've ever had is wrapped
around Pat McGerr's book, "Pick
Your Victim" which came out a
year or so ago. That was the detec-
tive story in which the murderer
was known, but not his victim-a
new switch on the oldest of plots.
was interviewing another woman
writer at the time, one whom I ad-
mire very much and would like to
have impressed with my intelligence.
She happened to remark that she
loved murder mysteries, good ones,
and I mentioned Pick Your Vic
tim
No, she hadn't read it. What was
it about? ut something new in
plots" I started out brightly. In
stead Of the usual idea where you
know who was murdered, but not
who committed the murder, in this
one you know who was murdered,
but not who committed the murder. !"
Brilliant? After the third try to
twist my tongue around the reverse
Of the sentence, I gave up. I have
never seen the lady again, but every
time I think of that little contre-
temps, my face burns, but red!
For some reason most of us are
afflicted with fuster-phobia when
singled out as an example to others.
Like one of the girls who was con-
centrating furiously on a modern
dance exercise in class one day and
feeling very happy that she was
abe to keep up with the rest of the
students, being no Martha Graham.
To her surprise she discovered the
approving eye Of the teacher upon
her. That's It," the instructor
trilled joyously. watch Mary, girls.
She's doing it just right" So what
did Mary do? With every eye in
the classroom on her, she got twisted
up in a beautiful imitation of a
pretzel.
At odd moments it appears, con-
sulting my poll notes, lots of us
develop a brain block in, which
familiar names, dates or other facts
instantly needed fail to come forth.
Once upon a time, am told, there
was a girl named Mary (for pur-
poses of these examples of embar-
rassments, all girls are called Mary y
who worked side by side with a girl
named Mar, ah, Grace, for many
months and became quite friendly
with her. Finally Grace quit her
job to be a home body and Mary
didn't see her for some time. One
day when the office was full Of
people who had never met Grace,

outdoors the job will be much
easier. Heat lard, add sliced white
potatoes and let boil. If when the
potatoes are brown the lard isn't

WAR Crimes Tribunal
Charges Jap Leaders
with Million Deaths
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Nov. 11.-An esti-
mated 100000 war atrocity
deaths were blamed today on Is
Japanese leaders by an interna-
tional court.
Hideki TOTO, Japanese Premier
for most Of the war, and his "a CO.
defendants sat grim-faced through
the reading of the courts judgment
in their war crimes trial. They
may know their fate late tomorrow
To a world shocked by Nazi atroc-
tiles during World War II, the court
released these comparative figures.
The Nazis and FaScists captured
235,473 prisoners from the United
States and Britain. OF these, 1,34S
died in captivity. The japanese cap
tured 132,134 prisoners from the
same two countries. OF these, 35,-
756, or 27 per cent, died in captivity.
Evening star., 1948-11-11

The court blamed the Japanese
for atrocity deaths from 1881 to 1945
in the Asiatic and Pacific Wars.
Judgment Reading Nears End.
The long reading of the 11-nation
tribunals judgment neared its end
today. Sir william Webb of Aus
tralia, court president, had reached
page 1,0S6 of the 1,221-page docu-
ment today when court adjourned.
Informed sources said an addi-
tional 66 pages compose the findings
of the court in each Of the Is Japa-
nese leaders individual cases.
Best estimates are that the first
sentence will be pronounced around
II am. Friday % pm. EST today
Meanwhile, the Japanese people
wondered today whether Emperor
Hirohito would make an "appropri-
ate" gesture when the verdicts are
returned.
Abdication. Suggested.
The Emperor has been cleared Of
ficially, but has been linked repeat
edly with the events and schemes
being judged by the international
tribunal. Many Japanese feel that
he should share the responsibility
of his accused former civilian and
military leaders.
Abdication as gesture has been
rumored frequently throughout the
occupation. Court mobiles discussed
his adbication before the surrender
and finally decided against it.
Gen. Macarthur at one time op-
posed abdication and may still hold
that view.

to get us into World War III to
make it possible for the Jews
to do what they refused to do a
few years ago"
Linder's article, which is liber-
ally sprinkled with OFT of context
quotes from the Old and New
Testaments, contains some of the
following excerpts:
"Some years ago there was a
man, now almost forgotten, whose
name was Hitler. Hitler had what
we said then was crazy idea
that the different races should be
separated and each race returned
to the land of it's nativity He
actually set out to bring this
about. Jews at that time objected
very strenuously to going back to
Palestine when Hitler wanted to
send them. We had a world war
about it in case you have forgotten
it. We busted our country financ-
tally and buried many American
boys in Europe to keep the Jews
from going back to Palestine.
Now, in less than ten years it looks
like we are going to have to have
another world war and bury a
great many more boys across the
seas to make it possible for the
Jews to do what they refused to
do a few years ago. No wonder
Moses wrote they are perverse
and crooked generation.

Bob suggested that we put our
hammocks up between two
trees outside. BY the time we
got them up it was dark. We
ate supper and then had our
meeting. The above mention

the Nandi's son and children,
as we'll as several other Nandi
children attended. The Kaka-

After I got to bed q had put

I heard a couple of my ham,

felt it tip over and [ was on
my side and had to call for
help to get me out of it. I then
set my hammock up inside the
hut, while Bob slept soundly
outside.
For breakfast, we had an
orange, cornmeal with milk
and sugar, bread and coffee,
and then started on our way
again. Bob took our things
back to the home of the Kaka-

of corn. While I went on. with

number of Kakamegans, Mo-
STA, and Nandi, but no church
es-not one! It was a strip of
land about 80 miles long run
ming along the foot of a line
of high hills.
On the night of the 18th, we
slept in the house of Musa's
friend. Bob and I had taken as
much food as we could conven-
iently carry. We hired natives
to carry the loads at intervals
along the way. We put the bot
toms of our jungle hammocks
on the mud floor and tied the
ends to the poles of the roof.
The natives built their fire for
cooking and heating purposes
right in their huts so there is
no escaping the smoke, and we
got smoked up a little.
However, before we went to
bed that night, we had a meet
ing with about fifteen of the
natives. After the service one
old man asked Bob why it took
the white man so long in COM
ing with the good news of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We had a fairly good night
except for a lump on the floor
that kept jabbing me in the
back, but [ ignored it and
slept.
Next morning we were on
our way, across rivers and UP
and down hills. It didn't get
too hot and we didn't get very
tired, for which I thank God.
Bob did some preaching along
the way, mostly to the Nandi.
AS we walked along we could
see the huts scattered around
up in the hills. In one spot we
saw oxen standing in the path
by a brook. When we reached
the top of the hill we saw a
group of buildings about 200
TT. to the left-mud houses of
course.
We met a couple of Kakame-
gans who were blowing their
corn with oxen. One of them
said he had once worked with
a missionary. We went on
about six or eight miles pass
ing many mud houses and then
as 1t was noon we had our
lunch, consisting of bread,
pineapple and tea. The ma
tlves' corn wasn't ready yet,
or we could have had some.
We stayed at a Mosia's
house. Musa had visited this
man before, at which time he
became a Christian. We left
our things and washed up in
the cool water of shady creek
and went up in the hills. We
came to the home of one Nan
al, the man really seemed in
terested and sent his children
to the meeting in the evening.
We also talked to some of the
Nandi women.
AS we came to the home of
one Kakamegan, the man said
ne wanted a church and school
for his children. The Catholics
had told them they were going
to build a school, but had not
done SO as yet. By the way,
some of the natives build sepa-
rate houses for their children
when they grow up.
