day he recalled this broadcast:
THE island of Saipan is mined
with high explosives. You'll have
4S hours to clear the island. If
you don't do it, you'll be blown sky
high"
That, he said, was about Sep
tember 4, 1914.

went on, he heard this one:
Its futile to fight the Japa-

The Japanese have the will to win
They never give up."

Tokyo Rose broadcasts were little
more than nostalgia chats about
the ice cream sodas back home

New Move Planned 10 Free
Jailed KIan Leader
By the Associoted Press

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, Aug. s.
Alabama's top Klansman is back
in jail, but new legal maneuvers
are being planned for his release.
Portly, 44-year-old William
Hugh Morris, who had previously
spent Is days in Jail on a con-
tempt of court citation, yesterday
was jailed again on the same
charge.
The charge arose when Morris
refused to produce secret Klan
membership rolls for a grand jury
investigating masked hoggings
and terrorism. He was released
in a $500 bond and a promise to
bring the records to court.
Circuit Judge George Lewis
Bales ruled yesterday, however.
that Morris is still in contempt
and must go back to Jail until
he produces the Klan roster. The
sentence runs indefinitely.
Morris says it is physically i'm
possible for him to bring in the
records. He sa they were stolen
from his home July 21.
Attorney Hugh Locke said he
would appeal to the Alabama Su-
preme Court on Morris behalf as
soon as possible.
