PAGE TEN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1949 Appeal Planned By Tokyo Rose From Conviction By David -I. Leonard (HnUinl Vrtmt Staff Currn.iiurtinO Ran Francisco, Sept. 30 Mrs. Iva Togurl D'Aquino today planned a fight to overturn her conviction lor treason as the Tokyo Hose who broadcast to American troops during the war. Her attorney. Wayne M. Collins, Raid he would file a motion in the U. S. circuit court of appeals for an arrest of Judgment and a new trial, lie said he also would try to get her released on Dnil. If those motions failed, Collins planned a direct appeal on grounds thnt Federal Judge Mich uel J. Roche-Instructed the Jury improperly and on other techni calities involving admission of evidence. "I can't understand it, I can't understand it, the JJ year-old Los Angeles-born defendant muttered in a shocked voice last night as the jury of six men and six wonv '. en brought back their verdict af ' ter deliberating four days to close the nation s longest treason trial In history. Sentencing' Thursday The jury found her guilty of one of eight counts of treason. Roche told the weeping defend ant to return to court Thursday, Oct. 6, for sentencing. ."The minimum sentence is five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The maximum is death. How ever, the government did not de mand the death penalty and it was believed unlikely the court would impose it. During the reading of the ver dict by Court clerk James Welsh. Mrs. D'Aquino stiffened but kept ( her eyes riveted to the green blot- ' ter on the defendant's table. Her Xiiliy uiouse appeared wilt ed and, her hair was disarrayed. He eyes were red-rimmed from weeping and lack of sleep, The dark plaid suit she wore through- , out the 12-week trial hung loose ly on her thin body. She has lost 30 pounds. Of the eight overt acts of trea son she was accused of commit ting, the jury found her innocent on the first five. But on the sixth broadcasting about the loss of allied shipping on Leyte gulf it found her guilty. Mrs. D'Aquino slumped in her chair, but her husband, Felipe D'Aquino, and her father, Jun Toguri, a Chicago grocer, show- ' ed no signs of emotion. The jury found her guilty of broadcasting (after a Japanese claim that American ships had ' been wiped out in Leyte gulf) : "Orphans of the Pacific, now you are really orphans. Now all your ships' are gone. How are you going to get home now?" The clerk read "No" for counts seven and eight. - The government had to prove Mrs. D'Aquino guilty of only one of the eight acts to obtain a con viction. Rule of Thumb Gives Bad Time Austin, Tex.

Alaska UPi The first circus in Alaska history gave hundreds of wide-eyed little Eski mos their first rides on a merry- go-round and their first glimpses of such strange creatures as mon keys and an African sun bear. A long caravan of brightly- painted trucks and trailers rolled into Anchorage after a 3,000-mile trip from Cutbank, Mont. Pacific Northwest Shows, owned by John and Dolly Beck. Oregon City. Ore.. struck out for the Yukon territory and Alaska in August. I he show carried ti entertain ers, six monkeys, three rattle snakes, a spotted leopard, a Mexi can wildcat, a trained mule act and the sun bear. 'My wife and I had been plan ning this trip for three years," Beck said. "It's sort of a vaca tion for all of us." 'We had a wonderful trip north our only trouble was loss of one small trailer when a hitch broke and four blowouts." Packed House Beck said when the show rolled into Whitehorse, Y.T., the amazed citizens refused to. let them pass through until they played an en gagement. . "We made a five-day stand in that little burg and packed the tent every day." Beck said. "Most of those people must have seen the snow every day. Biggest attraction were the ret- tlesnakes, Beck said. There is no such thing as a snake, even of the garden-variety, in the Yukon or Alaska, and most native-born northerners never have seen one. "A bunch of natives traveled 300 miles to Whitehorse to see our show," Beck said. "We felt kind of flattered until we discovered they came only to see the snakes." The three travel-weary rattlers died between Whitehorse and An chorage, but the other animals seemed to enjoy the trip, he said. II i nad Known wnat an at traction the snakes are up here, I would have brought a dozen," he said.

Secre tary of finance Pio Pedrosa said the Philippines now has, roughly, an unfavorable trade balance of $250,000,000 a year. The main reasons for this are the war's devastation, the slow recovery of soil Industries, the lack of industrial facilities which forces the country to buy most of its commodities abroad, and a communist-led peasant movement which has retarded agricultural production on Luzon. Remedies proposed and planned Include government encourag ment of expanded farm, mining and, to a limited extent, industrial programs; water power develop ment, restoration of internal law Chinese Commies Like Jitterbug Hong Kong Uli Chinese com munists have their own version of the jitterbug, which is highly popular despite its American oil ein. accordine to a visitor to Tientsin who arrived here.
