Appeal Planned
By Tokyo Rose
From Conviction
By David -I. Leonard

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. (IP) Here's a man
who "thumbed" his way into trou
, ble. But it happened in his own
kitchen rather than on the open
highway.
Robert Scurlock, installing a
laundry machine in his home,
, used his thumb to clear burrs
from a hole he had drilled in the
kitchen floor.-
'! With a helper pushing from be
i neath the house, Scurlock freed
his swollen thumb 30 minutes
later. ;

Circus Snakes
Charm Eskimos
Anchorage. 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.

Guilty of Treason
First Incubator
Is Sought by Man
Chicago Perlee Mathers,
who was America's first incuba
tor baby, wants that incubator
for his 59th birthday.
The incubator, first ever used
in this country, saved Mather's
life after he was bom Septem
ber 14, 1890. At birth, he weighed
one pound. He was only eight
Inches long.
Just as doctors despaired of
keeping him alive, the incubator
he now wants arrived in New
York from France. It was sent
to him and he was transferred
to it from the cotton-lined cigar
box which had been his bed.
The incubator disappeared.
however, after having been
shown at the Columbian exposi
tion here in 1S93 and later at the
Smithsonian Institution in Wash

Progress Too Slow
The problem in a nutshell is
that this country has made Insuf
licient progress toward balanc
ing imports and exports. 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

Tientsin who arrived here.
He said there are two versions,
in one of which the body move- j

though the tempo made by j
drums, cymbals and gongs is the I
same for both dances. ' Scores of i
students, soldiers, laborers and
even public servants can be seen
jiving even on ordinary week
days. One of the most popular dances
is the Dance of the Harvest,
which is one of the main sub
jects taught in Tientsin schools,
the visitor said. It is a conglom
eration of numerous Chinese folk
dances.

there Is sufficient natural wealth
in (he Philippines to provide a

over this country's ability to get
