Marshall. 4j The army chief of staff also warned yesterday that the na tion's military "establishment cannot hope to Insure the safety of the United States very much longer at the present rate of de mobilization unless some perm anent program is established and at an early date." i Speaking at a New York Herald Tribune forum, he said: 1 "For the moment, in a wide spread emotional crisis of the American people, demobilization has become, in effect, disinteg ration not only of the armed forces but apparently of all con "teptlon of world responsibility and what it demands of us. Peacetime Habits " "Just a few months ago the .world was completely convinced of the strength and courage of the United States., Now they see us falling back into our familiar peacetime habits. We must somehow get it clear in our thinking that the fulfillment of our responsibilities is not some vague mumbo-jumbo. It requires positive active effort and sacrafice, and above all it is a continuing process. "I cannot escape the con clusion that the possibilities of atomic explosion make it more imperative than ever before 4hat the United States keep it self militarily strong and use "this strength to promote co operative world order." Navy Capt. Harold E. Stassen, former governor of Minnesota, told the forum that there was a great need of an early crystaliza tion of America's long-range policy in the Pacific area and called upon President Truman to appoint a bi-partisan commis sion to develop an "open and not secret" policy there. Philippine President Sergio Osmena asked for 20 years of free trade between the islands and the United States and for "fair treatment on war damages, providing just compensation to those who suffered when the war came to Philippine soil pro tected by American sov ereignty." . ' ! , : Establishment of - a barter system whereby American goods could be exchanged for Chinese commodities was urged by Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, for mer commander of the 14th air force in China, while Hen. Jonathan M. Wainwright, hero of Corregidor, urged continued neip to tne Filipinos. S.P. still needs skilled craftsmen!

Octobtt 30. 194S Vasqucz Prada, Manila society wyoneui. MANILA. Oct 30 UPl Mai Gen. Basilio J. Valdes, Philip pine chief of staff, today told a military commission trying Japanese Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita on war crime charges that he found the half-cremated bodies of his older brother and a nephew in a pit filled with de composing flesh. Earlier, the general's sister-in- law, Sirs. Ageia i.opez ue va des, and Mrs. Justa Guido, des cribed how their husbands Lt Cols. Aleio Valdes and Jose Guido were tied up by Japa nese soldiers under Yamashita's command and taken away, never to be seen alive again. Meanwhile, the defense indi cated it would seek to prove that those who fought the Japanese after the surrender of General Wainwright could be considered war criminals and that the Japa nese occupying Manila found themselves in a situation where any and all civilians might be guerrillas in disguise. Explaining he did not condone atrocities, Capt. Adolf F. Reel of Boston said the defense would attempt to show that the exist ence of this underground army without uniforms was responsi ble for actions of the Japanese troops under the "Tiger of Malaya. Foiraa Many Bodies Valdes testified that he and some soldiers found many bodies piled on top of each other" in a Dit under ruins of a paper factory in Manila. "l recognized my brother and my nephew by. their hands. which were tied behind their backs, and their clothes, especial. ly tneir ben buckles," he said. Mrs. Lopez testified a Japa nese officer brandishing a revol ver came to her house and or dered all occupants upstairs ex cept ner la-year-old daughter. i aia not uxe to leave my E MCMINNVILLE, Ore., Oct. 30 (P) Two civilians, one a veter an army air corps pilot, were killed late yesterday when a small training plane crashed north of Gaston after clipping tree tops and nosing into a field. The victims were Al Rezin chek, 33, survived by his widow, Rose, and four small children, and William Anderson, 23, the discharged army aircorps cap tain, survived by his widow, Mary, and parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Anderson, Gaston. The pair were flying the rent ed plane from the Hillsboro air port and witnesses told authori ties they apparently were flying too low and clipped the tree tops, stalling the plane. The craft was demolished, hut did not burn. Anderson was discharged from service a few weeks ago after duty in Italy. He was enrolled at Pacific university at Forest Grove.

"I saw the Japanese driving her toward my husband's study. She was crying. I went toward my daughter and put her behind my back. 'Go ahead and kill us,' I told him in Spanish and tagalog and any thing else I could think of. 'If you had a daughter, would you like these things to happen to her?' " The abashed officer left, she said. Aided Guerrillas Mrs, Guido said her husband aided the guerrillas who were fighting .under the direction of a Major dishing and Jesuit Father Hurly., Japanese soldiers tied up her husband and three sons, she testified, drank their lmuor. ate their lunch, plundered the home of 5000 pesos ($2500), and took the four away. Later, she continued, the troops returned and machine gunned the house but she and the rest of her family had hidden under concrete porch steps and escaped the bullets. An indication that the defense of Yamashita would be more than a mere negative defense of war crimes responsibility charges was the arrival in Tokyo of one of his several appointed American armv attorneys. Mai. George F. Guy, on an evidence- seeking mission.
