Macarthur Due 10 Call
On Soviet 10 Return
Last Jap Prisoners
By the Associated Press

TOKYO, Dec. 19.LGen. Mac
Arthur is expected to make a
strong effort this week to get
Russia to repatriate the remain
ing Japanese prisoners of war still
In Soviet hands.
The subject will come up We'd
nesday at a meeting of the four
power Allied Council for Japan.
Japanese are puzzled and irked
that they have been unable to
get their people home from Rus
sian prison camps. Russia says
she is holding only 10000 jap
anese. The Soviets say they are
war criminals and will not be re-
patriated.
But other sources, including
many of the 100000 repatriated
japanese, say there are up to 316,-
900 Japanese still in Russian
hands.

have become increasingly annoyed
by Soviet refusal to account for
all of the prisoners seized during
their short engagement in the
Pacific war.
Japanese newspapers have been
encouraged to discuss the ques-
ton. japanese families have con-
gregated in front of the Russian
embassy clamoring for the release
of their men.
William j. Sebald. diplomatic
head of the Americans, will pre-
sent the question to the council.
Washington officials have not
indicated how far they will support
Gen. Macarthur in his effort. But
1t is almost certain once the ques-
ton gets under discussion many
of the problems on which Russia
and the United States differ Will
probably crop out before the
council.
