That is why I call upon the law enforcement officiant of my state to carry out their public duty if thev find that there is any basis in fact for any criminal charges against anyone involved in these hearings. It is through such crim inal prosecutions in the courtrooms of my state that the important question of guilt or innocense should be determined, and not in a enate hearing." Morse said he wasn't pinpointing Jape American Soldier, janese uiri Sentenced To Die SENDAI.

But, Pvt. Orvia L. C. Boone. 24-year- old Galveston, Tex., Negro, and Shegeko Sasaki were sentenced by Mat. Judge Mizuo Yamada to be hanged for the triple crime Last Sept. 4 in Sendai. The prosecution had asked only for life imprison ment. The conviction can ha appealed first to Japan's appeal court and later to the Supreme court. Boone already is under an Army rourt-martial life sentence for the bludgeon slaying of U. S. Army Specialist Edward K. Maunakea, 21, of Honolulu, last July 31. His court-martial included testimony that Misa Sasaki would lure vic tims to an isolated spot for Boone to rob them. Japanese courts since 1953 have tried American service personnel for offenses committed off their bases and while off duty. Ameri can civilians have been tried by Japanese courts for violations of Japanese laws since April 28, 1953, effective date of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. Camp Fire Groups Perform For PTA y MRS.

A displav table was arranged by the third grade Blue Bird group and thnr leaders, Mrs. Bobhie Ev ans and Mrs. Haynes. as he has done for 12 years. Morse reDeated his insistence that these procedures should be revised "so that when a question of the guilt or innocence of a fellow Ameri can is before a Senate committee, the precious safeguards of proce dures which are so essential to a fair trial in our country will be preserved and guaranteed to him in the interests of justice." Morse was saying, in effect, no matter what the committee con cludes about Schrunk, Multnomah County District Attorney William Langley and others, this finding will not be conclusive; and only an Oregon court of law can justly determine their guilt or innocence. In appearing before the commit tee itself, with Maurine at his side. Neuberger went to the length of enumerating the number of Port land's parks, churches and librar ies to help counteract the impres sion that it is a wicked city. But the crux of his appeal was that he thought the committee should get all the statements it can that might counteract the slurs on Patterson and Schrunk. No one questioned the appeal for Patterson, inasmuch as he is "a dead man who can't defend himself," as it was said, although there was a long rhubarb over who dragged the late gover nor into it in the first place. Rack eteer Jim F.lkins and Howard Mor gan. The Schrunk issue was quite another matter, for Neuberger tes tifierir "1 hav been Informed that evi dence exists to contradict t h e charges of alleged bribe - taking against the mayor of Portland. Whether inadvertant or intended, this was a slap at the committee which brought obvious reaction from its members who considered this a challenge to their fairness. When quizzed by Sen. harl Mundt (R-S.D.) as to whether he was de fending Schrunk, Neuberger said he couldn t pass judgment on the case because, "all that I know of these hearings Is what I have read in the newspapers." As for the "evi dence" that would clear Schrunk, Neuberger said this was only bas ed on a story he had read in the Oregon Journal. The committee last week invited the editor of the Journal to present any information he had to support his newspaper's claim that Schrunk was innocent, but the editor declined.
