Tokyo Courts Now
May TNU. 5. Troops
BY the Associated Pres.


TOKYO, Oct. 29.-United
States and United Nations serv-
ice men in Japan today became
subject to arrest. trial and pun
ishment by japanese authorities
as the United States-Japan and
U. N.-Japan criminal jurisdic-
ton agreements went into effect.
Hereafter all United States
and U. N. command troops as
we'll as civilians working with
the security forces and depend
entS will be subject to japanese
law as we'll as military law.
Formerly only military courts
could try and punish service
men for law violations. Now Jap
anese courts also have that right
for crimes committed when serv-
ice men are off duty.
The biggest change as a re-
suit of the agreement is the pos
sibility that United States and
U. N. troops will appear in Jap
anese courts and japanese jails.
Another is that the violator
may be tried by a court-martial
after he has appeared in the
Japanese court.

Boosters Club Members Give
Full Letter of Explanation
on Costs of Football
At Southern

Members of the Booster club for
Southern High school and other
interested citizens have asked the
Board of Education to reconsider
its decision of Tuesday not to pro-
mote football at the school, and in
Guided in their request a full eX-
PLANTATION of what costs would be
involved and what it would mean
to the school
The Board heard possible plans
for football at the institution two
weeks ago and reserved its de
cision at that time until state poll
cies were explored
| Following a meeting of members
of the Board on Tuesday, they re-
leased the following statement
The proposal concerning football
has been submitted to the Board of
Education on several occasions and
has been considered carefully; but
in view of the fact that football is
not part of the school program and
no funds are available from state
or county, it was the decision of
the Board of Education that it
would not be able to promote foot
ball this year or in the immediate
future"
Before reaching this decision the
Board conferred with the Board of
County Commissioners in regard
to whether or not any funds were
available
Members of the Oakland Booster
club revealed two weeks ago that
they had succeeded in raising So
900 in voluntary contributions which
they had ready to turn over to the
! school for the purchase of football
uniforms

! ton to reconsider. the letter stated
they felt football should be a part
of the general education program
and should be under the control of
the Board of Education.
For the purpose of clarifying
their position with respect to the
cost of instituting and maintaining
football team they submitted adj
ditional information which they felt
would be valuable in making a de-
cision for reconsideration. They in
dictated the practice uniforms would
cost $1,000 for forty boys, game
shirts and pants for thirty-three
boys, $40, or a total of 3,O4O which
the Booster club would furnish.
The high school would provide
four balls at S46 two tackling dunn
mics at S49.75, one man-shaped
dummy at S24.75, a first aid kit of
