Lumber operators today opposed
rules in the proposed establish
ment of master Sluslaw sus
tained yield timber.. unit that
would bar non-land owning1 log
ging and timber operators from
operating inside the 8.000,000 acre
area.
The argument came in closing
sessions of today's department of
interior hearings here on the first
of 12 proposed master units which
a 1937 act of congress would estab
lish in the nation.
Frank Reed, attorney for the
newly formed Western Association
of Lumbermen and Loggers, de
clared i the - association supports
"the idea of a sustained yield pro
gram, Its members contend inau
guration of the plan on its present
basis would eliminate 70 to 80 per
cent of the operators now within
the unit." He said other mills now
in the marketing area of the Sius-
law river area would also be
halted.
The; proposed un't Would estab
lish an administrative bureau over
some 2.500,000 acres of Oregon
and California revested railroad
grant lands, about 500,000 acres
-of .other federal property and an
estimated j' 5,000,000 acres of pri
vately owned timber area. Under
the program private owners would
be given first opportunity and pri
vate lands would operate accord
ing to tha sustained yield schedule.

General Yamashita, first
of Japan's leaders on trial for war
crimes, asked the United States
supreme- court today to take over
and bring him to Washington.
From Manila, where Yamashita
is busy denying responsibility for
Indescribable atrocities against the
Filipinos, his American lawyers
sent a petition that his trial before
a United States military commis
sion be halted. 1
For one thing, he said, the com
mission lacks authority, then be-

contended he is not a war criminal
but a prisoner of war. Asking
writ of habeas corpusj Yamashita
requested that he be ordered be

considers 'proper. ;

first defense move today before a
navy general court martial trying
him on charges of negligence and
inefficiency. :. ' 'j.J .,;-; ;.
1 1 The heavy cruiser was sunk last
July 30 in the Philippine sea. Of
its 1,196-man crew, 880 are dead
or missing and all the remainder
were injured.; i .' ,-. L
As the court convened at the
Washington navy yard, McVay's
counsel, Capt John P. Cadyj of
Providence, R. 14 objected to the
first charge: "Through negligence,
suffering a vessel of the navy to
be hazarded."; , , j
The specifications alleged Mc
Vay "neglected and .failed" to or
der a zigzag course while travel
ing without escort from Guam to
Leyte through an area "in which
enemy submarines might be en
countered. - I I : '
The defense contended the
charge "failed to state an offense,
but simply "set out a conclusion.
After a brief 'deliberation," the
seven-man1 court, headed by , Bear
Admiral Wilder D. Baker over
ruled the objection. The court's
Instructions, Baker said, stated it
was not essential to specify that
the accused officer1 committed a
breach of federal statutes or na
val regulations. ,
McVay entered no objection to
the form of the second charge,
that he was guilty of "culpable
inefficiency in the performance of
duty." ' ;
