White House Enters Dispute With Japan Over Soldier's Trial Washington (W The White House today stepped into a dis pute over whether the United States or Japan should try an American soldier for the slaying of a Japanese woman. Informed sources said a high level decision could be expected soon. The case has become a news paper sensation in Japan where some elements demand the right to try Army Specialist 3-c Wil liam S. Girard of Ottawa, 111. They contend that American re fusal to turn Girard over to Japanese courts violates the U.S.-Japanese status of forces agreement and infringes on Jap anese sovereignty. - j Relations Worsened State Department officials are concerned because the affair has caused a worsening of Japanese American relations on the eve of a visit to the United States by Japanese Premier Nobusuke Kishi. Kishi is due here June 10 for talks with Eisenhower and other officials. Army Secretary Wilber M Brucker was said to have raised the case at a meeting he at tended Tuesday between Presi dent Eisenhower and Republi can congressional leaders. Brucker later discussed the matter with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and other State Department officials. It was decided to ask Tokyo for more details. The 23-year-old' enlisted man is charged with having killed Mrs. Naka Sakai last January by firing an empty cartridge Proposed Association Fails at Medford High Because of a lack of parent support, the proposed Medford High parent-teacher-student as sociation failed to win a major ity vote to organize last night. A total of 106 people out of a possible 1,000 students, 2,000 parents, and 50 teachers cast 50 votes for and 56 votes against forming a PTSA at Medford High school. The meeting, held in the high school auditorium, was opened by Mrs. Leigh Gustison, first vice-president of the state Con gress of Parent-Teacher associa tions. The motion to organize was called for and after parents and faculty hesitated, a student, Jacque Colton, made the mo tion. James Johnston, MHS physics instructor, gave three reasons for teacher disapproval of the or ganization. Among chief arguments against the proposal was that too many conflicting organiza tions for both parents and teach ers exist in Medford now. A second point was that the PTSA movement was instigated and continued without proper ex planation to or criticism from the Medford High faculty. The third and more important reason wag poor support from parents shown by lack of parent attend ance and previous indifference toward YMCA youth functions.
