The Imperial Household an nounced the royal birth to an overjoyed nation with the statement: "Both the Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako as well as Crown Prince Akihito and Princess Michiko are happy a child was born. We are all praying for the' good health of the princess mother and child." All of Japan joined in those sentiments. The national radio network proudly began play ing selections by the imperial court musicians. All street cars in Tokyo sprouted rising sun flags. Huge crowds began gather ing on the great plaza in front of moated imperial palace and the shouts of "banzai:" for the boy who is destined to sit on the imperial throne were repeated thousands of times.

Seven days after birth he will be named and his name will be reported to the three sacred Shinto shrines on the palace grounds. Michiko and Akihito, who were married ten months and 13 days ago, will have little to say about the choice of a name for the infant. That will be left largely to the Imperial Household agency.

Dirksen (111.) was to fire the next barrage today in a bur geoning GOP counterattack against Democratic critics of President Eisenhower's mili tary program. Dirksen obtained permis sion to speak to the Senate for at least a half hour on the defense issue. The speech could touch off another defense debate like the four-hour argument that raged Friday. Civil rights foes hoped for such a hassle, which would delay the Sen ate's current rights debate. Theme Set Sen. Leverett Saltonstall (R-Mass.), top GOP member of the Senate Armed Services committee, set the theme for the Republican defense of Eisenhower's policies in a Washington's birthday speech here Monday night. The GOP theme is: The "quality" of U.S. weapons makes up for any lack of quantity" and Democrats who criticize the country's de fenses as inadequate are play ing politics.

Senator Tells Of Investigation Washington (UPD Sen, John J. Williams (R-Del.) says the Internal Revenue Service investigated him last year and submitted some tax agents to lie-detector tests in an effort to learn where he was getting information about tax cases. Williams, a member of the Senate Finance committee, said Monday that Treasury Secretary Robert B. Anderson had apologized to him, how ever, and the matter is now "over and done." The senator said one tax agent was fired "without jus tification" when he refused to submit to the lie-detector test. "As far as I knew that man never existed until he told me he had been fired," he said. nat was around April or May last year."

One other person was be lieved missing and four were injured in the Omaha blaze. One of the hospitalized leap ed from a second floor win dow, Omaha firemen said. Interior Gutted The fire was believed to have started near a second floor washroom and quickly gutted the interior of the hotel. The St. Louis firemen were trapped when the top two stories of a three-story build ing collapsed. Workers toiled through the night to recover the bodies. One of the 10 injured was a Roman Catholic priest, Father John Hickel, 31, who was hurt when he entered the flaming building to administer the last rites to one of the trap ped firemen. Elbert Johnson, 12, James Pye Jr., 6, and Marvil Stigall, 2, died in the Arkansas fire. Four others escaped the blaze.

A master sergeant and three civilians devoted a total of 230 days to composing the "on-the-job training" manual. Just 500 copies were pub lished and distributed to en listed men assigned as aides to generals, at a total publish ing cost of $5,572.71. These vital statistics were published by a House appro priations subcommittee which had called on -the Air Force for an explanation of the con troversial manual. Manuals Stir Controversy The manual, which popped up at a House armed services subcommittee hearing on Feb. 2, is one of several put out by the Air Force which have stirred controversy and sparked two congressional in vestigations.

Crail, a doom-voiced veter an of the district attorney's office, has announced he will seek the death penalty for handsome Dr. R. Bernard Finch, 42, and Carole Tregoff, 23. They are accused of the July 18 gunshot slaying of Finch's wife Barbara Jean. The trial which began Dec. 8 was expected to reach the jury of seven women and five men by next Wednesday. Testimony ended last Thursday and today the at torneys took over in the final stage which shaped up as a personal duel between the cold-eyed Crail and his former boss in the DA's office, Grant Cooper, who is defending Finch. Crail, whose hard-hitting questions reduced Carole Tregoff to near hysterics dur ing her brief cross-examination, faced his old boss for the first time on opposite sides of the fence in this sen sational murder trial. nist infiltration of some churches. Walter said the charges were "absolutely true." An armed services subcom mittee, on the other hand, is laying groundwork for an in quiry into how this manual came to be issued. Contents 'Misconstrued' Explaining the manual for generals' aides, the Air Force said some of the contents had been "misconstrued," or could be, anyway. This presumably referred to sections on how to bathe a dog, shine shoes, clean toilets, mop, dust, wait on the table, and greet guests. "The fact that certain tasks or procedures were included in the manual does not indi cate that such duties were to be performed regularly by the airman aide as a routine part of his duty," the Air Force sr'd.
