Douglas MacArthur today ord
ered the arrest of 34 Japanese)
officers and men for the mas
sacre of more than 100 Allied
war prisoners in the Philippines
last Dec. 14.
The Japanese were accused of
herding the prisoners into an air
raid shelter on Palawan, west
ernmost of the Philippines,
drenching it with gasoline and.
setting it afire.
Tokyo. Sept. 28 (U.R)
Gen. Douglae MacArthur to
day announced that three
veteran Pacific combat di
visions would embark for the
United States within ihe next
seven weeks.
Quoting war - department
estimates, MacArthur said
shipping space will be avail
able for the return of 1.490,
000 men from the P a e 1 1 e
theater during the next seven
months. Units to be. returned
following the 43rd which Is
already loading at Yokohama
are:
The 31st division. Oct. 31t
38th division. Nov. It and the
37th. Nov. IS.
Prisoners who escaped were,
machinegunned and bayoneted.
8th To Make Arrest
The arresting order went out
to the American Eighth army,
but it was not clear immediately
whether the wanted men were)
In Japan or still in the Philip
pines. Some units of the Eighth
have just moved from the Philip
pines into southern Japan.
Named for complicity in th
massacre were the ranking of.
fleer, Lt. Col. Oie Satoshi, four
captains, 13 first lieutenants,
nine eecond lieutenants, a pro
bationary officer, two warrant
officers and four non-commissioned
officers.
In Tokyo, Japanese police to
day halted the sale of a Tokyo
newspaper carrying a large
photograph of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur and Emperor Hirohito
standing together In the Amer
ican embassy.
The MacArthur-Hlrohlto pic
ture appeared the only possible
material In the newspaper the
Tokyo Shlmbun which the,
Japanese government might
have considered objectionahle.
Emperor Dwarfed
The two-column cut showed
the emperor in formal morning
attire standing beside but a full
head shorter than MacArthur
In regulation khakis with open
necked shirt.
The Japanese Home Office's
Censorship department later ex
plained the edition was banned
because the photograph was an
"unclear print." Early editions
of tomorrow's Mainichi destined
for outlying districts will carry
the same photograph, taken by
the U. S. Army Signal corps, as
a five-column cut.
The Japanese traditionally be
lieve that no mortal should look
down on their emperor, whom
they regard as a god, and this
may have played a part In the
ban. Upper stories of houses
normally are shuttered when the
emperor passes in formal pro
cession. MacArthur, meantime, author
ized full Japanese production of
all textiles except silk and silk
mixtures. The latter require
specific approval from Allied
headquarters.
Ho also approved the release
of 10,000 metric tons of leather
and 6,000 tons of raw rubber for
use in making shoes. The order
apparently was designed to get
the Japanese clothed and shod
before winter. Motor truck pro
duction also will be resumed,
but the manufacture of pas

proved. Wiedemann Arrives
