Iran Youths
Sum moned To
Defend Land
TEHRAN, March 21 (P) Iran's 19-year-olds were summoned
to the colors today in tho wake of reports .that three Iranian
garrisons were under attack by Kurdish tribesmen in the isolated
region near the border of Iraq.
At the same time, leaders of Iran's leftist Tudeh party; were
called into private session and rightist elements expressed belief
the Tudeh party might lead leftist demonstrations againit the
government because of its appeal to the United Nations security
council against continued presence of Russian troops in Iran.
(In Baghdad, a former Iraq diplomat declared Tuesday upon
returning from Tehran that the
Tudeh party could stage a coup
d'etat at any time. He added:
"The great fear in Iran today is
that if the Iranians officially
announce that they will take
the matter to the UNO, then
the communists will be given
the word to strike").
Rightist Deputy Said Zia Ed
Din, described by political writ
ers as anti-Russian, and gener
ally known as a leading oppo
nent of Premier Ahmed Qavam
es Saltanch, was taken into cus
tody yesterday by two men in
the uniform of Iranian army
colonels.
Not Liked
Zia Ed-Din told newsmen:- "I
think they are arresting me be
cause I am not liked by the
Russians." He said in an inter
view Tuesday that "Iran's only
hops lies with the UNO."
Prince Firouz, director of
propaganda and political under
secretary of state, said the dep
uty was "put under preventive
detention pending investigation
of certain charges" on orders
of Premier Ahmed Qavam.
Besiegod , ;!,
An Iranian general' staff 'jflift;
ficcr said heavy snows prevent;;
ed reinforcement of the three,
garrisons besieged by Kurds, in
the northwest, but, he added,
seven Iranian planes were' try
ing to keep the garrisons from
being cut off from divisional
headquarters.
He said 3000 tribesmen were
engaged in the attacks against
the garrisons at Sardasht,
Banch and Saqqiz, while "loy
al" Kurds had engaged "demo
crats" of self-proclaimed au
tonomous Azerbaijan province,
which is occupied by Russian
troops.
The officer said "strangers"
speaking a Turku dialect simi
lar to that heard in northern
Azerbaijan had been observed
among the tribesmen attacking
the Iranian garrisons.

WRA colonists from going to a

Tulelake center' came, to its of
ficial close late yesterday.
In the : last. 48 hours before
camp closure, releases came for
102 persons who had previously
been held as department of jus
tice internees. Several had been
actually moved to the intern
ment camp -bound train, but
when their status was changed
got off the train and took regular
transportation 1 as free "reloca
tees" to other points.
Altogether, 552 persons of
Japanese descent moved out of
the camp yesterday, and not an
evacuee was left there last night.
Four hundred fifty left by train
for Crystal City, Tex., as de
tainees, 102 were relocated, and
five went to San Francisco under
department of justice jurisdic
tion. Of the latter, three were in
volved in the civil liberties union
"test cases" to be heard in San
Francisco within 30 days. The
other two were listed as "segre
gated parolees." .-
Throughout yester day, de
tained evacuees passed through
final processing and were moved
to- tho enclosure to - await - the
train, which pulled out last night.
Border patrolmen took charge
of them as they left the colony
area, which is controlled by the
WRA.
By last night, the colony's re
maining inhabitants were dogs.
Numerous canines were left be
hind as the evacuees moved out,
although many of the colonists
had arranged to take their pets
with them. The abandoned dogs
will probably be destroyed.
What will happen to the build
ings and other facilities at the
camp has not been definitely de
termined. Some will be taken by
the reclamation service. Tule
lake growers would like to have
the army barracks for a labor
camp. There is talk of making
WRA Caucasian apartments
available as temporary housing
for ex-servicemen. . The reclama
tion service is. taking back the
land. .

Execution Can Now Be
Stayed Only By
President
TOKYO, March 21 (Gen
eral MacArthur today decreed
a firing-squad death for Lt.
Gen. Masaharu Homma, his vic
torius foe in the 1942 battle for
Bataan, and disagreed sharply
with two U. S. supreme court
justice dissenters one of whom
had termed the sentence ven
geance rather . than justice.
Date and details of the execu
tion, which now could be stayed
only by President Truman, will
be determined in Manila.
. Affirming the Manila court
martial conviction of Homma,
who ordered the infamous Ba
taan death march that cost 17,
200 lives, MacArthur asserted:
. Deserves Fate
"If this ' defendant does not
deserve his judicial fate, none
in jurisdictional history ever
did."
Before announcing' his deci
sion, MacArthur studied opin
ions expressed . by Supreme
Court - Justices Murphy and
Hutledge, :;who . dissented when
the court refused to intervene
for Homma. Murphy had de
nounced Homma's trial as a
descent "to the level of re
vengeful blood purges." . .
MacArthur declared "no rial
could - have- been fairer" and
said dissenters "either advocate
arbitrariness of process above
factual realism, or . . . inher
ently shrink from the - stern ri
gidity of capital punishment."

In Car Crash
' James Raymond Hermant, 5-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Hermant of ' Stewart
Lenox addition, died at Klamath
Valley hospital at midnight
Wednesday from, injuries re
ceived a few hours earlier when
he was struck by a car operated
by Robert Allen Lee, 17, a stu
dent residing at 3131 Freida.
The child was rushed to the
hospital by ambulance and ad
mitted at 6:10 p. m. He expired
at midnight.
State police, 'called to investi
gate the fatal accident, reported -that
Lee was returning to Klam
ath Falls from Keno where he
had driven several fellow stu
dents . to their homes. Lee told
officers that he was alone in
the car and as he approached
the scene, he saw the child ap
pear on the highway.
High Banks ;
The highway at that point is
bordered on both sides by high .
banks and on the south side,
where the Hermant home is lo
cated, there is a cut made by a
driveway. The bank, officers
said, is somewhat higher than
the height of the child and he
was not in view until he stepped
onto the highway.
Lee said the boy ran from the
driveway, hesitated on the pave
ment and Lee applied his brakes
thinking the child would stop.
Lee said he drove on but pulled
the car over to the left side of
the road but the boy continued
across and met the car in the
center of the highway. The boy
was struck by the radiator and
was carried 65 feet.
Ambulance Called
The young driver told state
police he stopped immediately
and had a neighbor call an am
bulance. The child's body was
under the car, the head emerg
ing from under the rear bumper.
There were no eye witnesses,
state police said.
No charge has been filed
against Lee, officers reported to- :
day. ' -
James is survived by his par
ents and two brothers, William
of this city and a high school
student and Thomas, who is in
service in the United States navy
at Adak, Alaska. The child was
born in Klamath Falls and had
lived here his entire lifetime, i
