Soviet Blasts al U. 5.
As Planning 10 Wage
Psychological War
By the Assoeioted Press

MOSCOW. Dec. 29.-The Rus
SLAMS, trying II japanese on war
crimes charges of waging germ
warfare, today accused the United
States of preparing to use disease
as a war weapon.
The Communist Party organ
Pravda said the United States is
maintaining meteorological war
fare experimental station near
Washington. It said the stations
existence had been reported by the
Washington Post in February, 1948.
(Actually. the United States
Government disclosed as long
ago as 1946 that it was inter-
ested in biological warfare.
(Then last March, former
Secretary of Defense Forrestal
put out a 1.200-word report on
the subject. This described
germ warfare as a great poten-
tial weapon of the future. But
it also sought to allay "the
public's exaggerated impress
sion" that germ warfare is a
superweapon capable Of wiping
out multitudes of people.
(The Forrestal report dis
closed that the military's work
on biological warfare is being
done at Camp Detrick in Mary
land. The project, the report
said, is concerned both with
building a defense against an
enemy's use of germs as well as
developing a similar weapon
for offense if the need arises.
Use Of Camp Detrick as bac-
terial warfare research labora-
story was started during World
War H.
Other Accusations against U. S.
The paper also made these &C
cusations against the United
States:
/. The United States is "delib-
erately protecting Japanese war
criminals" such as Gen. Shiro
Ishii, whom the Russians charge
headed Japan's germ warfare. The
Russians also claim Ishii now is in
Japan.
2. Gen. Macarthur has defend
ed the IL japanese the Soviets
are trying at Khabarovsk, Siberia,
for waging germ warfare.
= 8. The United States has placed
In high positions Japanese Of
the character of those on trial in
Khabarovsk."
4. The United States is trans
forming Japan into it's principal
military base in the Far East.
Pravda said a large area had
been allocated for carrying out
American experiments of spread
ing germ infection from planes.
Pravda quoted the late Defense
Secretary Forrestal as saying re-
search in germ warfare should be
continued so that the United
States should be able to make
use of psychological weapons In
the future"
5000 Declared Infected.
AS the trial at Khabarovsk con-
tinued, Moscow radio reported that
. Japanese germ warfare unit had
infected 5000 Chinese war pris-
oners with typhoid fever in 1912
and then released them to start
an epidemic among civilians.
The broadcast, reporting the
Siberian war crimes trial Of the
IL Japanese officers, said a witness
testified the prisoners were fed
bread rolls containing typhoid and
paratyphoid germs. All IL de-
PENDANTS are reported to have
pleaded guilty to developing germ
warfare before and during World
War II.
The testimony. according to the
official account, came from a med
ical assistant named Furuichi, who
worked with the japanese Kwan-
tung army's top secret germ war
fare agency known as Unit 731."

Lytell to
Remember Trini.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, B
WI, June l.. ~(ANP)-Middle-
weight Bert Lytell will long re-
member Trinidad, and Trinidad
will never forget Lytell.
Lytell will remember this coun-
try most because of the foul de-
cision received in the last of three
great fights he put up against
Trinidad's best. In the question
able decision he battered the BWi
cruiserweight champ, Gentle DAN
lei, through the ring into the au-
dience, and won nearly every
round but was awarded only a
draw.
In two other bouts, Lytell easily
outpointed Daniel and Easy Boy
Francis. In his second Daniel
fight, he smashed his opponents
into the laps of the ringsiders,
and they hurriedly hoisted him
back into the ring.
Trinidad will remember Lytell
because he put on better shows
than any other American fighter
appearing in this area. Fans will
remember him as a fighter who
knew how to use his dukes.

the party is still pressing for the
implementation Of that platform
and would continue to press for

<AAASA E
WASHINGTON, June 1. IAN
P)-The annual Robert S. Abbott
award was presented to President
Harry S. Truman last Wednesday
at the White House by John H.
Sengstacke, editor and publisher
of the Chicago Defender.
The Chief Executive was hon
ored for making the most signifi-
cant contribution to democracy in
1913. The award, conceived in
memory of the late Robert Seng-
stacke Abbott, founder and pub
Usher of the Defender, has been
a symbol Of enlightened achieve
ment in human relations.
That President Truman was
chosen recipient of the award dur
ing the Defenders AZ year of
leadership of the Negro press at
tests to the widespread regard in
which MI. Truman is held by col
ored Americans.
In presenting the award, Seng-
stacke said, cit is fitting that you
should win this award because you
like the man in whose memory it
it presented, were faced with an
uphill battle at a crucial period
in your career. But the 'underdog
role only served to spur you on.
Hardship gave birth to determine
ton, and obstacles became mile
stones along the path of progress.
After a hard, tough fight you
triumphed to win our nations
highest honor. We r proud of
you as Americans, we like
fighting men"
The President thanked the De-
fender editor very much and ex-
pressed his hope to continue to
deserve the award. He quoted
again one of his favorite state
ments that the principles for
which we are fighting are as old
as the Constitution of the United
States, and as new as the Demo
cratic platform of 1913.
