Girard's action. taken upon
instruction Of his brother. Louis,

TO deny Japanese jurisdiction in
his case.
Too Late, Lawyer Says

had no objection if Girard

be construed as a reflection on
the attorneys personal or pro-
fessional integrity.
Legal sources were inclined
to dispute Mr.. Hayashi's argyll
ment that Girard had acknowl-
edged Japanese jurisdiction by
signing the documents. These
sources said even if the case
comes to trial a normal early
defense move would be to ask
dismissal on grounds the court
has no jurisdiction.
United States Reafiirms Stand
The United States first agreed
to a Japanese trial last May is,
then reaffirmed it last Tuesday
in a Joint statement by Secretary
OF State Dulles and Secretary
of Defense Wilson, later backed
by President Eisenhower. All
three expressed belief Girard
would get a fair trial in Jap
anese courts and said the deci-
sion was in accord with United
States international agreements.
Louis told his brother by tele-
phone that Army officials shave
been bringing pressure on you,
and urged him to await the out

authorities and order him back
to the United States.
Don't let any of those guys

one planned for early next week.
Husband of Victim Protests
Akikichi Sakai, husband Of the

are insisting on a United States

Shave Sweater To
Remove Pilling

Shaving may be the solution for
improving the appearance of a
piled sweater, says Miss Lois N.
Korslund, extension clothing spec
ialist at the University of Della
ware.
Pilling refers to the tendency of
nap to roll into little pill-like balls.
To safely remove this pilling,
tightly pin the sweater, after wash
ing and drying, to hard cushion
or carpet. If the sweater isn't Sc
Icurely attached to something,
there is danger of cutting the fibers,
when shaving, warns Miss Kors-
lund. Using a safety razor, shave
the sweater with an upward mo-
ton. The process is sometimes te-
dious and may take an hour or
more for a bad case of pilling, but
it really works, the specialist says.
Man-made fibers, such as nylOn,
Orion, and Acrilan, are particularly
likely to pill. Woolen yarns, which
are tightly twisted and OF high
quality, have the least tendency to
pill But wool is harder to care for
from the stand point of washable
ty and moth resistance than man
made fibers.
When buying sweaters, take
special note of the labels, urges
Miss Korslund Look for the label
ing of fiber content, shrink-resis-
tant finishes, and moth proofing.
1t is difficult to tell the actual
quality of yarns used in a sweater,
but generally tightly twisted yarns
of wool. cotton or synthetic fibers
will wear better and pill less than
loosely twisted yarns, she con-
cludes.
