HundU (United Press Correspondent) (Copyright 1945 United Press) Shanchal. Sept. 27 (U.R) Captured enemy records provid ed the first delimte connrmauun today that the Japanese executed thrift American airmen who par ticipated in the famed "Doolittle raid" on Tokyo April in, ih. The records, including the of ficial Japanese account of the perfunctory court martial which condemned the men, disclosed that they died before a firing fuiuad at a war prisoners' ramp near Shanghai's Kiangwan race track, Oct. 15, 1042. Men Identified The fliers were identified as: 1st Lt. William G. Farrow of Washington and Darlington. 5. C 1st Lt. Dean Hallmark of Dal las, Tex. Sgt. Harold A. Spatz of Lebo, Kan., and New York slate. " A fourth member of the Doo little team, 1st Lt. Robert J. Medcr of Lakewood, O., died In a Nanking prison Dec. 1, 1943, of malnutrition, berl bcrl and dysentry. The remaining four of the eight Doolittle fliers cap tured by the Japanese were lib erated last month and three al ready have been flown back to the United State. The court martial records re vealed that all eight filers orig inally were sentenced to death, though the sentences of all but three subsequently were com muted to life imprisonment. Got Mock Trial The records bear the signa tures and official chops of the four chief Japanese officers who participated in what was little more than a mock trial. They have been placed on top of the American war orlmes list in the Shanghai area for submission to the Chinese for action. The wanted officers are: Lt. Col. Makajo Toyama, presiding Judge; 1st Lt. Wamlthu Yusel, associate judge; 2nd Lt. Okada Hyukei. associate Judge, and Ma, Hata Itsuro, trial prose cutor. The court record gave the lie to Japanese claims that they did not Impose special punishment on air crews. It specifically stated that the eight airmen were being tried "under that portion of the military rgulations which comes under enemy plane crews." Trial In Japanese The proceedings lasted only a half-hour and consisted merely ! of a recilal of the provisions of the military regulations under which the fliers were arraigned. The trial was conducted entirely in Japanese. Japanese propaganda broad cast In late 1942 and 1943 re ferred vaguely to' the execution of "several" of the Doolittle elr men, but never gave any dales or names. However, the U. S. State de partment protested to Tokyo on the basis of the broadcasts and the late President Roosevelt de nounced the executions as out right murder. Newspapers Given Praise by Dewey On War Conduct Albany. N Y., Sept. 27 OI.R) Gov. Thomns E.
