Tomorrow is another Thanks
giving. The households Of this
great nation will be steaming with
roast turkey, cranberry sauce and
plumpudding and apple cider to
name just a few Of the good things
to eat which will grace the dinner
tables. Autumn will reach it's full
fillment with this day of thanks
giving.
It was a long,long time ago, 16-
20 to be exact, when the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, Massachu-
sets, on the famous Mayflower.
These Pilgrims were refugees of a
sort, fugitives from the severe re-
ligious persecution then taking
place in their homeland.
These stalwart men and women
held a special day of thanksgiv-
ing for their safe voyage across
the ocean, for their deliverance
from the terrors of persecution.
Thus began Thanksgiving Day.
Every Thanksgiving Day we
have something to be thankful for.
For the fact that we are alive,
for the fact that we are at peace,
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1949-11-23

for the fact that we are healthy,
for many other good things that
many Of US possess.
But we have an obligation to
those who may not be so fortunate
as ourselves, not merely here, but
all over the world. W. have an
obligation to lend our efforts in
the direction of aiding them in
improving themselves. So that a
year from tomorrow, the worlds
people will have even more to be
thankful for.
Therefore, let us all give thanks
tomorrow. Let us all enjoy this
Thanksgiving Day, Ammo Domini,
1919.

Opening Statements
Due Today in Treason
Trial Of Tokyo Rose
By the Assoeiatsd Pfsss

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-The
Government today opens its fight
to convict Iva Toguri (Tokyo
Rose) d'Aquino Of wartime trea-
son-but will not demand the
death penalty.
Speedy selection of an all-white
jury of six men and six women
yesterday cleared the way for
opening statements and probably
some preliminary testimony to-
day.
The statement that the Gov
ernment will not ask death came
from Prosecutor Tom De Wolfe
in reply to a reporters question.
The minimum penalty on convic-
tion would be five years in prison
and q $4,000 fine.
Born in Los Angeles.
The defendant, born in Los
Angeles 33 years ago on July 4
is charged with eight acts of trea-
son. The Government charged
that, as Tokyo Rose, she hoped to
demoralize and discourage Allied
military men with her broadcasts
from Radio Tokyo.
The Government used only
seven jury challenges.
Asked if the talesmen were
challenged because they were Ne
groes, Mr.. De Wolfe said, mo, we
were not motivated by that. There
were many reasons"
The Government also ruled out
one Chinese as an alternate juror
The defense used nine chal-
lenges.
Much testimony of 4 prelim-
mary nature was expected before
the Government presents record
ings of Radio Tokyo broadcasts.

The Government, for example.
must establish that the defendant
is a United States citizen, owing
allegiance to this country. One
of the defense contentious Is that
Mrs. D'Aquino became a citizen of
Portugal when she married her
Portuguese husband.
Other preliminary testimony was
expected to be aimed at establish
ing that the Japanese radio was

Government control.

and serious, through most Of yes
terday's opening session. She oc-
casionally penciled notes.

wina." played at a recent high
school concert, was inspired by
the music Of George Gershwin,
his favorite composer.
The girl, 16-year-old Betty
