Tokyo Rose Defense
Plays Up Messages
From War Prisoners
BY the Associoted Press

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-
The defense in the Tokyo Rose
treason trial is trying to show that
war prisoners messages were fea-
tured prominently in one program
broadcast by Radio Tokyo.
Mrs. Iva Toguri d'Aquino, 80
Los Angeles native, is charged with
traitorously broadcasting discour-
aging messages to American troops
in the Pacific during the war.
BY cross-examination of a for
mer Japanese lieutenant colonel,
Shigetsugu Tsuneishi, 40, the de-
PENDANTS counsel sought to back
up this contention: That Mrs.
d'Aquino was told the Zero Hour
was to be a prisoner of war pro-
gram. for improving the lot of
American prisoners of war. Tsune-
ishi was in charge of war prisoner
propaganda broadcasts.
The trial was inching along
slowly and laboriously, through
questioning and cross-examina-
ton.
Hour-Long Tilt.
Defense Attorney Wayne Col
Inns, in an hour-long tilt man
aged finally to get Tsuneishi to
acknowledge the program began
with prisoner of war messages
which the senders hoped would
reach their families.
Tsuneishi kept insisting that the
program was directed to American
troops, not the homeland. At one
stage he said he thought the mes
sages were read on another pro-
gram, THE Postman Calls"
The witness mentioned that
Norman Reyes, captured on Cor
regidor, had broadcast from Radio
Tokyo. Mr.. Collins asked if Mr.
Reyes wasn't compelled to broad
cast.
Tsuneishi replied, He did not
do so under direct orders. Having
been asked to do so, and being q

Dulles Nav Answer Taft on Pact

Such a declaration, he said
would be a deterrent to war.
But" he added, If Russia sees
itself ringed about gradually by
so-called defensive arms, from
Norway and Denmark to Turkey
and Greece, it may form a differ
ent opinion. 1t may decide that
the arming of Western Europe
regardless of its present purpose
looks to an attack on Russia. Its
view may be unreasonable and
think it is. But from the Russian
standpoint 1t may not seem un-
reasonable. They may well decide
that II war is the certain result,
that war might better occur now
rather than after the arming of
Europe is completed.
Arms Problem Emphasized.
Senator Taft argued that this
country is not in a position to sup
ply arms Immediately in quantity
to carry out the promises and as
Surances the treaty seeks to give
the other signatories. He closed
with these words:
my conclusion has been reach
ed with the greatest discomfort.
When so many disagree with that
conclusion. I must admit that
may be completely wrong. I do
not claim to be an expert in ques-
tions of foreign policy. I would
like to be able to vote for a policy
that will commit us to war if
Russia attacks Western Europe.
I would be glad to join in an
agreement to occupy Germany in
definitely to guard against a third
attack from that quarter.
II would waive my other OBJ
jections to the Atlantic pact if I
did not feel that it was inextrica-
bly, involved with the arms pro-
gram. But I cannot escape the
logic of the situation as I see it,
and therefore I cannot vote for a
treaty which. in my opinion. will
do far more to bring about a third
