Hendren of Jef ferson City, Mo., planned a re port on the war crimes trials in volving Japanese who punished downed American fliers from the April 18, 1942 raid.

Far row, Washington, and Sgt. Har old A. Spatz, Lebo, Kan.) "He was being used by us as a repatriation officer bringing Japs back to Japan. I tried to arrange for his release for trial in December, 194S, but he was so essential to General MacAr thur's headquarters that I could n't get him released. He was never tried so far as I know." 580 Dead (Continued from Page 1) About 35 bodies have been removed from the Monsanto plant. The exact number of the dead brought out was difficult to ascertain.

In plumping for his no-politics addition to the Russian res olution, Polish delegate Dr. Julius Katz-Suchy said: "There is a great danger of this aid being misused, what ever the contention of the Unit ed States government may be." In reply, U. S. Chief Delegate Warren R. Austin declared: "There is only innuendo that the money is being used for po litical purposes. That is not a fact. It is only supposition."

John W. Col lins, assistant U. S. military at taches captured by the commu nists in Manchuria March 1, will be released April 24. The North Shensi communist transmitter said Riggs and Col lins would be escorted from the "liberated areas" of Manchuria at noon the 24th. It asked Amer ican envoys carrying white flags to receive the two officers at Hungsangtze, between Chang chun and Harbin. Rigg is from Chicago and Collins from Evanston, 111. They were captured by the commu nists while observing a battle from the nationalist side near Changchun. A Chinese Inform ant in Peiping reported yester day that they had been seen re cently in detention at Harbin. The U. S. embassy said ar rangements were being made to carry out the communist instruc tions for receiving the two men. Brig. Gen. Robert Soule, the American military attache, sent a message yesterday to Lin Piao, communist commander in Man churia, requesting immediate re lease of Rigg and Collins. Ne gotiations have been proceeding spasmodically since shortly after their capture. The announcement of release plans were made by the Shensi radio as a message from the "headquarters of the Chinese Manchuria united democratic army." 3 Coeds Selected For May Day Court Margaret Allen, Elaine Cloudy and Mary East Runyan were se lected to comprise the court for Willamette university s May week-end festivities May 1, 2, and 3 as the result of an election held on the campus this week. Next Tuesday a second ballot will be conducted to determine which one of the three young women will reign as queen dur ing the festivities. The north front of Eaton hall will be the scene of the corona tion, according to plans tenta tively arranged. For a number of years the crowning of the queen, and the dances have been held in the court constructed for that purpose to the south and east of the library. Con struction of the new men's dor mitory and its resultant upheaval prevents this site being used. A new idea in connection with this year's program will be two simultaneous May pole dances by women of the junior class on the lawn in front of Eaton hall. The last regular meeting of the Eola Community club is sched dulcd for May 2 with Mrs. Ray Etter, program chairman, ar ranging a musical and literary evening.
