Russians Accuse U. S.
Of Germ Warfare Plan
(Continued Fiwin Page One)
vlets are trying at Khabarovsk,
Siberia, for. waging germ war
fare. 3. The U. S. has placed In
high positions "Japanese of the
cnaracter oi inose on irau in
Khavarovsk."
4. The U. S. is transforming
Japan into Its principal military
base In the Far East.
Pravda said a large area had
been located for carrying out
U. s. experiments oi spreaing
germ infection from planes.
Pravda quoted the late defen
se secretary James V. Forreotal
ae savlne research in eerm war
fare should be continued so thai
the United States "should be able
to make use of bacteriological
weapons in the future."
As the trial at Khabarovsk con
tinues, Moscow radio reported
that a Japanese germ warfare
unit had Infected 3,000 Chinese
war prisoners with typhoid fever
In 1942 and then released them to
start an epidemic among clvt
lians.
The broadcast, reporting the
Siberian war crimes trial of 12
Japanese army officers captured
In 1945, said a witness testified
the prisoners were fed bread
rolls containing typhoid and para
typhoid germs. All 12 defendants
are reported to nave pieaaea
eullty to developing germ war
fare before and during world war
two.
The testimony, accoring to the
official account, came irom a
medical assistant named Furui
chi, who worked with the Japa
nese Kwantung army's top secret
germ warfare agency known as
"unit 731."
Other human guinea pigs were
said to have been used to test
blister gas and frostiblte.
"All of these people experi
mented upon and doomed to a
most painful death," the witness
said, "were kept in prison.
One of the defendants, MaJ.
Masao Onoue, was reported to
have told the court that the ex
periments cost "many hundreds
of lives."

packing Industries fear the effect
of foreign currency devaluation
on their sales volume and prices.
Businessmen complain that
postwar rate increases on east
ward freight shipments are
higher than Increases elsewhere.
Marked increases in industrial,
commercial and residential power
consumption throughout North
west have outdistanced growth In
basic generating capacity, caus
ing Inability to supply new Indus
tries which would provide needed
employment.
Suggestions Listed
Here are some of the sugges
tions Sawyer said he received for
assistance by the federal govern
ment: Foreign Trade. Citrus growers
urged that the ECA undertake to
support their European markets.
Flour millers complained too
much wheat, and not enough
flour, is going to Japan.
Water and Power. It was
strongly urged by local officials
that the federal government ac
celerate its power development
program and provide municipal
power systems with more power.
Publlo Works. There was con
siderable interest in federal aid
for advance planning of local pub-1'-
works and in financial aid for
actual construction in a program
tailored to fit actual needs. There
was no significant sentiment iur
lavish federal spending on state
and local public works as an un
employment remedy.
New Industries. The services of
the federal departments were
earnestly requested by local pub
lic and private groups seeking to
attract new industries to the west
coast.
Morse Backs Truman In
Stand On Coal Slash
(Continued from Page One)
for an 80-day strike-halting in
junction toward that end.
Morsa Cites Distinction
But Morse said his opinion as
a lawyer is that the President's
national emergency powers un
der the T-H act can be used only
in cases where there is an actual
critical strike or the threat of
such a strike.
"There is a great difference,"
Morse told newsmen, "between
a dispute which causes economic
losses and suffering and one
which imperils national health
or safety.
"A coal dispute could very well
reach the latter proportions, but
obviously the present one has
not done so to date, nor is there
any likelihood it will if the three
day week is continued."
Wherry Raps Truman
Morse, who wants the Taft
Hartley law repealed, thus took
sharp issue with Senator Wherrv
of Nebraska, the Republican floor
leader. Two days ago Wherrv
said there was "deplorable evi
dence of negligence in the fact
Mr. Truman has not used he
Tatt-Hartley act to restore ' lull
time production of coal.
Wherry also accused Mr. Tru
man of failln? to enforce the
T-H law because he doesn't like
the measure and wants it wiocd
off the books.
The President has said he will
use the law If a national emer
gency develops. But he has ex
pressed no opinion as to whether
he would have the legal right
to Invoke the law under the pres
ent circumstances when Lewis
could argue in court that pro
duction limitation is no strike.

Holidays' Death , Toll

other one unless the people have
sickend of making horror days
out of their holidays."
Only a blizzard that "sews the
country up tight" can prevent a
death toll off at least 330 over the
New Year's holiday,. Dearborn
said.
"But let's depend on ourselves
and not the weather man," he
added.
The Fourth of July holiday took
the heaviest toll this year a rec
ord of 711 lives. The total was
close to an all-time record toll for
any holiday, the 761 accidental
deaths recorded in four days in
Christmas week, 1916.
The three-day Labor .day cele
bration, marked by the loss of
525 lives in accidents, set a new
violent death record for the holi
day. The council described th
toll "appalling," and "enough to
make every decent American sick
at heart and boiling mad."

Foreign Spending Will '
Be Cut, Connolly Says (
(Continued from Page One)
the Senate Foreign Relations
committee. He added:
'The most important thing we
can do now is to use our influ
ence and our resources to pre
vent the further expansion of
communism in Asia."
GOP Criticism Answered
Connally said "up to $1,000,
000,000" should be cut from Mar
shall plan spending next year
and a "substantial sum" from
this nation's own military bud
get. Connally took note of criticism
by Senate Republican leader
Wherry of Nebraska and other
Republicans on handling of the
bi-partisan foreign policy.
But he denied there Is any
weakening of bi-partisan politi
cal cooperation In the Senate
"except in spots."
"Some Republicans would be
willing to use the bi-partisan pol
icy for political advantage," he
remarked. ,
But he insisted President Tru
man has never used the policy
for party gain.
Connally also told his news
conference that:
(1) Spain should be given full
diplomatic recognition and, if
possible, be brought into the At
lantic pact. '
(2) New arms aid for Europe
may be needed after June 30
but the amount should be less
than the $1,000,000,000 program
voted last year. , . , , ;
