On War Crimes
TO Aid Girard

MAEBASHI, Japan, June 6
R-GI william Girard has
picked q Japanese veteran Of
World War II war crimes trials
to head his defense against
charges Of causing the death Of
e Japanese woman on q military
firing range.
The Army announced today
the Ottawa (nl.) soldier had
selected Itsuro Hayashi as his
chief attorney from a list Of
more than so American and
Japanese lawyers compiled by
the United States Embassy. The
soldier is scheduled to be tried
by Japanese court.
/ Mr.. Hayashi, defense counsel
before the international military
tribunal for the Far East from
l946-49. said he planned to
meet the soldier for the first
time tomorrow. He told re-
porters he could make no an
nouncement Of defense plans
until he had talked with his
client and made a thorough
study Of the case.
Everything about the entire
case will depend upon nv dis
cusSionS with Girard tomorrow -
Mr.. Hayashi said.
Selects Personal Adviser
The Army announcement said
the soldier also had asked Mai.
Stanley F. Levin, 40, of Holly
wood. Calf, to serve as his per-
sonal legal adviser. Mai. Levin.
who has served as q law oficer
OF general courts-martial in
Japan, Europe and the United
States, now is a member of the
Judge advocates ONCE of the
LIST Cavalry Division.
Girard. an Army specialist
third class. has been indicted on
charges of INJECTING bodily in
jury causing death" of the JAP
anese woman. a charge similar
to manslaughter indictment in
the United States. He is accused
OF firing an empty cartridge case
from a grenade launcher and
killing Mrs. Naka Sakai, 40.
while she picked up scrap metal
on firing range.
The case developed into an
international issue when Japa-
nese authorities contended the
soldier was not on duty when
the fatality occurred and claimed
Japan had the right to try
HIM under the status-of forces
agreement with the United
States.
The Army. State and Defense
Departments argued Girard was
on duty at the time but, after
a Washington review of the case.
announced Tuesday it had been
agreed to turn him over to the
japanese for trial. In effect
they upheld the Japanese con-
tention that. while Girard was
authorized to protect military
property at the time. he was
not authorized to shoot.

The Army will pay AttorneY

penses for handling the Girard
defense.

American in japan Gets
Threotto CutUp Children

KAMAKURA. Japan. June
R.-An American has hidden
his two small sons with friends
and erected a barbed wire barri-
cade to protect the rest of his
family from extortionists he
says threatened to cut his chill
dren Into little pieces
Douglas F. Scott of North
Hollywood. Calf, former child
movie actor and now a civilian
employee at the United States
Navy base at Yokosuka. said in
a public appeal for police pro-
lection today that the extortion-
lists are demanding 1920, 900 yen
$3.50.
Navy investigators and Japa-
nese police in this resort town
adjoining Yokosuka said they
have been trying without success
to track down the culprits since
Mr.. Scott reported threatening
phone call to his Honolulu-born
Japanese wife May 81.
Mr.. Scott, 33. said he appealed
to the Japanese police for pro-
lection as soon as the threats
began. The police guarded the
home he rents here for the
first few days. but now only send
patrols by every hour.
Afraid to Keep Gun
His two sons have been living
with relatives of his wife for
the past several days. They
are 3 and 2 years old. Mr..
and Mrs. Scott and their two
daughters-Mari 10, S, and Teri
Lea, 1-remain in the barri-
caded home. Mr.. Scott goes to
his Office at the naval base but
the other members of the family
stay indoors as much as possible.
Mr.. Scott said he does not
keep a gun for protection be-
cause I'm afraid to defend my
family after the Reynolds case
in Formosa and the Girard case
in Japan"
