Record Doesn't Show Hirohito War Guilt, Keenan Tells Court

By the Associated Press

TOKYO. Sept, 25.—Joseph B Keenan, chief war crimes prosecutor, | agreed today to publication of a

previous off-the-record comment | that "thorough investigation con- j vinced the prosecution that no evi-j dence was available to support the charge that the Emperor participated! in the conspiracy" leading to war in the Pacific.

Mr. Keenan indicated this belief, earlier today before the interna- tional tribunal trying former Prem- ier Hideki Tojo and 24 ether former top officials of Japan.

In an off-the-record interview1 with an Associated Press corres-

pondent earlier this year, Mr. Keenan said it was the prosecution position "that a group of gangsters seized control of the Japanese gov- ernment and are responsible for waging war against the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands.”

“They deceived Hirohito and de- frauded the Japanese people into

! believing the Emperor was with them in waging this aggressive warfare," Mr, Keenan continued. "Of course, it is true that the Em- peror did accept their advice and that the situation reached a point where war was necessary and that he did not make any attempt to halt it.

"However, it also seems certain from the evidence that he hated the idea of war and that when Roosevelt—who also hated war- tried at the last minute to get together with Hirohito, these con-

xirators prevented delivery of a

message to the Emperor. “The prosecution has carefully

sifted the evidence against Hiro- hito as well as the accused in the dock .and decided that those named were the persons mostly responsi- ble.” Mr. Keenan added. "If we had felt that Hirohito was guilty, he would be in the dock today.”

U. 5. Information Program Championed by Zacharias

By th* Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25. — :

Transmission of psychological in- formation by the United States toj foreign nations should become “a real instrument of national policy," i according to Rear Admiral Ellis M. Zacharias, deputy chief of naval in-* telligence until his retirement last year.

Asserting that greater use of pri- vate media of news transmission would permit this country to pene- trate behind “the iron curtain,” j Admiral Zacharias said in an inter- view yesterday with the Philadelphia evening Bulletin that the United: States has taken “only faltering j steps" in the right direction thus far.

He suggested that a commission be established composed of leaders from the fields of the press, radio and other media to advise Govern- ment officials.

Admiral Zacharias later told the Reserve omcers o: tne navai sc: wees ; that he does not feel another war

is inevitable. The recent speech before the United Nations by Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Admiral Zacharias said, was merely an indication "of the beginning of the bankruptcy of; Russian political leadership.”

Vermont College Workers Strike on Opening Day

By the Associated Press MIDDLEBURY, Vt„ Sept. 25.—Ap-

proximately 100 Middlebury College maintenance, dining room and dor- mitory employes called a strike early today several hours before President Samuel S. Stratton was scheduled to welcome 1,200 students for the new

year. Emmitt Wheeler, held representa-

tive of the United Mine Workers, District 50, representing the em-

ployes, said they sought wage in- creases averaging 10 cents an hour.

Irving K. French, college business manager, to whom the union sent a strike ultimatum two hours before the walkout, said it would not inter- fere with Midfilebury’s opening. Classes begin tomorrow.

Mr. Wheeler said the strike was voted after prolonged negotiations showed no indications of agreement. He was unable to say what present wage scales are because the college's "housekeeping” staff-is paid differ- ent rates.

Mining Machinery Ordered by Britain

By the Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, England, Sept. 25.

—The National Coal Board an-

nounced yesterday that orders had been placed for £9,000,000 ($36,000,- 000) worth of mining machinery as

the first step in a program for mod- ernization of British mines which is

expected to take 15 years to com-

plete. Arthur Woodburn, joint parlia-

mentary secretary to the Supply Ministry, said also that arrange- ments were being made for the manufacture in Great Britain of

American-type power cutter-loaders. The board expects to have 1.500 new coal cutters, 4.200 new conveyors and about 250 new underground locomo- tives in the mines by June 30, 1948, he said.

Mr. Woodburn added that in the future much more mining machinery would be manufactured in Great Britain.

British pits are far less mech- anized than those in the United States and the shift output per miner averages about a ton in Great Britain compared to four to five tons in the United States.

tieciricai workers Keject Probe of Reds in Union

By the Associated Press

BOSTON. Sept. 25.—The inter- national convention of the United Electrical Workers yesterday adopt*- ed a resolution repudiating an a'nti-Communist faction led by James B. Carey, CIO national treasurer, on a question of investi- gating alleged “Communist adher- ents” in the organization.

The resolution urged that the United Electrical Members for Democratic Action be driven “out of leadership, and if they persist in their disruption to drive them out of the union.”

Adoption automatically killed a resolution sponsored by Mr. Carey and William Drohan of St. Louis, convention delegate, which sought to establish a committee to review “whether Communist adherents are accorded privileges that are denied the non-Communist UE members.”

Mr. Carey told the convention that the object of the United Elec- trical Members for Democratic Ac- tion was to “keep our union on a sound democratic trade union basis, free from control by the Communist Party.” *

James Matless, director of organi- zation of the UE, charged that Mr. Carey and his group were “con- ducting a little Dies Committee" and that, the tactics of the UEMDA had forced the union "to defend itself not only in front but from a stab in the back."
