That is why I call upon the law

in fact for any criminal charges

The conviction can ha appealed

Boone already is under an Army

court-martial included testimony
that Misa Sasaki would lure vic

to rob them.
Japanese courts since 1953 have
tried American service personnel
for offenses committed off their
bases and while off duty. Ameri

Japanese courts for violations of
Japanese laws since April 28, 1953,

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.

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

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.
