supreme court.
' No Objections .
At a press conference Jackson
emphasized that he was not com
mitting Britain, France, or Rus

cused persons In one group. This
is an American plan, he said, to
which the other nations have
raised no objections so far. ;
He said the war criminals who
are convicted will have no ap

Jackson said the master trial
would be conducted like a court
martial, which it in effect would
be. Britain, Russia, France, and
the United States would provide
one or two Judges each for the
tribunal, No provisions have
been made for smaller nations

their own countrymen as defense
counsel and witnesses.
He outlined the proposal for
the master trial in which Nazi

spiracy to conduct illegal war by
illegal means.

unrestricted submarine warfare
and atrocities all could be dealt
with under the master plan.
Asked what would be done with
leaders who claimed exemption
from the trial, he said the trial
"is a privilege, not a right."
The trial was expected to be
speedy, and completed before

Foe Admits Many Airfields
Being Readied On Okina
wa for American Strikes.
Guam, Saturday, June 23
(U.PJ Groups of Japanese troops
emerged from their holes on
southern Okinawa and surren
dered to American mop-up forces
today while vast preparations
were accelerated for future op
erations against Japan.
Tokyo suffered a new attack
of invasion jitters, speculating
that U. S. forces eventually will
land on Kyushu and possibly the
Amaml group, 110 miles north
of Okinawa.
Okinawa Plans Seen
The Japanese, refusing to ad
mit the complete loss of Okina
wa, reported that a "vast area"
of the island was being leveled
for "many, many more air fields
and runways." There was par
tial confirmation of that enemy
report here, where it was re
vealed that still more airstrips
were being laid out on Okinawa
in addition to six already in
American hands.
Front reports said "more and
more" civilians and groups of
enemy soldiers, deciding against
a last-minute death for the em
peror, were giving themselves
up to U. S. marines and infantry
men. At least 94,401 enemy
troops have been killed or cap
tured on Okinawa. American
casualties through Tuesday were
36,588 including 6,990 dead and i
missing.
Pearl Harbor, June 22 (U.PJ
Superfortresses smashed six
more Japanese targets today in
their third raid on the enemy
homeland this week.
Over 450 of the big bombers
pounded the great Kure naval
arsenal and five scattered air
pla.ie plants on Honshu. It was
the first time they had gone to
six targets, ...
The raids came while the Jap
anese were trying to keep their
eyes, on two naval task forces
roaming near ' the Sakashima
Islands, 200 miles southwest of
Okinawa. Tokyo said the fleet.
Including five or six aircraft car
riers and four battleships, wer.
"still active" In the Sakashlmas.
Lluchow Fall Near
Another air base was about to
fall into allied hands in south
China, where the Chinese storm
ed the Lluchow airfield. A
Chungking spokesman said thera
was only a light holding force
there, and capture of the field
seemed imminent. The base was
used by the U. S. 14th air fore
until November, 1941, when it
was abandoned in face of Jap
anese offensive.
The campaign to liquidate th.
two Japanese divisions in north
ern Luzon in the Philippines was
helped by a sudden guerilla at
tack in the heart of the Cagayan
valley. The Filipino force cap
tured Tugucgarao, capital of th.
Cagayan province. They cut en
emy forces in the north in two,
and trapped part of thera be
tween there and the 37th divi
sion, 35 miles to the south.
Australian troops made their
third and most Important land
ing this week in northwest Bor
neo at Lutong, 80 miles south of
Brunei Bay. They waded ashor.
unopposed and struck out for th.
Seria and Mirl oilfields. The re
finery at Lutong was wrecked.
Some 150 Indian prisoners were
discovered there all down to
skeleton size-from hunger and
many suffering gangrene in
wounds made by Japanese clubs.
