Hunters Warned on Eating
Diseased Wild Rabbits

Wild rabbits can be dangerous,
the District Health Department re-
minded hunters today in its annual
warning.
The most dangerous are the Slug
gish' rabbits, DR.. James G. Cum
ming. director of the department s
communicable diseases section, said
They probably are infected with
tularemia.
Tularemia is a fever which in
some cases can be fatal when con-
tracted by humans, DR.. Cumming
explained. Normally it is trans
mitted by handling or cooking dis
eased rabbits and sometimes it is
transmitted by ticks which have fed
on the infected animal.
The germ can enter a persons
body through unbroken skin OF
through the eyes, membranes or in
testinal tract
DR.. Cumming advised persons
handling wild rabbits to wear rubber
gloves and to cook the rabbit
thoroughly so that no red meat or
red blood remains. Rabbits whose
digestive organs are studded with
small white spots should not be
cooked

Foods Corp. was named as a de-
fendant in the suit as sponsor of the
program.
In a petition to serve papers on

Webb Links Ruler
To Aggression, but
Cites Immunity
By the Assoeioted Press

TOKYO. Nov 12.-Sir William
Webb of Australia president of the
international War Crimes Tribunal
says Emperor Hirohito cannot evade
responsibility for Japanese aggres-
sion although he enjoys political
immunity.
He filed an opinion, based on the
law. of the tribunals judgment
which he said was necessary to
clarity the status of the emperor
Chief Prosecutor Joseph keenan,
formally cleared Hirohito Of in
volvement in the war conspiracy in
which ex-Premier Hideki TOTO and
"a other defendants were convicted
The emperor's real power was
displayed when he intervened in
1945 to terminate the war and save
Japan" Sir william said. I'm this
instance he was acting as an alb
solute monarch. Previously he had
refrained from exercising his real
power.
This did not relieve him from
responsibility as a leader Of the
nation for the events for which the
defendants were convicted" the
Australian 0id.
Sir William said the evidence
showed the Emperor never wanted
war and sometimes acted on advice
against his better judgment"
Sir William wrote that the EN-
peror's authority was required for
the war. If he did not want war
he should have withheld his author
ity."
1T is no answer to say he might
have been assassinated. That risk
is taken by all rulers who must still
do their duty. No ruler can commit
the crime of launching aggressive
war and then validly claim to be
excused for so doing because his life
would otherwise have been in
danger"
Sir William also rejected the
japanese contention that the en-
peror was obliged to respect optn-
ions given him by his advisers.
'I do not suggest that the en-
peror should have been prosecuted" ;"
Sir Williams opinion went on. That
is beyond my province. His i'm
munity was no doubt decided upon
in the best interests of all the Allied
powers"
Sir William said he did not dis
sent from the verdicts, adding II
can not claim to have supported all
the sentences decided upon as being
the most likely to achieve the main
purpose of punishment. But he
added, Il am unable to say that any
sentence is manifestly excessive or
manifestly inadequate"
