men on charges they prepared and used bacteriological weapons against the Chinese in the last war on secret orders from Emperior Hirohito The first installment of the indictment was published in the newspapers Pravda and Izvestia covering one full page (Radio Moscow said the indictment would cover two pages when complete) (In London western observers said the indictment apparently was Moscow's answer to Gen Douglas MacArthur's demand that the Soviet Union release 376000 Japanese war prisoners still held in the Soviet Union) The indictment cited alleged testimony from one of the defendants Maj Gen Kawasima Kiosi a Japanese army surgeon that Emperor Hirohito issued secret orders in 1935 for the establishment of special bacteriological units Mass Extermination The indictment said that Gen Yamada Otoza former commander of the Kwantung army testified those units under his command were prepared to use bacteriological weapons against Russia and Mon golia for the mass extermination of people and cattle The charge alleged the Japanese intended to spread the germs of Cholera the black death plague typhus and typhoid The Japanese were accused of actually experimenting with these germs against living humans including Soviet citizens The indictment listed the specific numbers of two units trained to manufacture germs on a large scale to experiment with germs and to prepare special guns and planes for their distribution Other groups cultivated stocks of billions of lice infected with the black death plague and prepared to release them in central and south China the indiatment said Even Neutral Countries The charge said that the germs carried by the lice were destined to cause a painful death to millions of civilians of not only belligerent but also neutral countries (The black death plague is an especially virulent form of disease that ravaged Asia and Europe in the 14th century) Yamada confessed to using live Chinese and Russian prisoners for experiments the indictment said At one station alone more than 3000 prisoners were killed following tortures that included artificial freezing of limbs vivisection and amputation without anaesthetics the indictment said The indictment said that one defendant Karasawa Tomio confessed that Gen Shiro Ishii former commander of a chemical unit near Harbin had ordered 264 pounds of typhus and cholera lice which were

leveling off a bit A report from the office of vital statistics shows that the overall U S death rate in 1948 was the lowest in history 99 per 1000 population This was a two per cent decline from the 1947 rate and one per cent lower than the record set in 1946 The suicide rate dropped from 115 per 100000 population in 1947 to 112 and the homicide rate from 6 to 58 At the same time the motor-vehicl- e accident death rate declined from 228 to 221 and the fatality rate for other accidents dropped from 466 to 45 Dr Winfred Overholser superintendent of St Elizabeth s the government mental hospital here commented that this indicates a "plateau'' of leveling-of- f in violent deaths rather than an actual decline He added that there was a noticeable increase in suicides and homicides after the war and that it is reasonable to expect them to decline in the years ahead Of the 1444337 deaths in 1948 63 per cent were due to the major chronic diseases associated with advanced

WASHINGTON Dec 24 (UP)— Administration lieutenants in congress were reported today to have advised President Truman to "grab the ball" in seeking repeal of wartime excise tax rates One usually reliable informant said Mr Truman has been told that it would be politically wise to ask for excise reductions because congress probably will cut them anyway over a veto if necessary This official was uncertain whether the administration's specific recommendations would be ready in time for the president's state of the union and budget messages He was confident however that Mr Truman would ask for excise tax cuts along with increases in other taxes to offset the loss of revenue Since a boost in personal income tax rates would be almost impossible in the 1950 election year any revenue increased presumably would have to come from corporation levies or other sources There has been mounting pressure in congress to get rid of most or all of the 1943 excise levies which were enacted both to raise money for war and to discourage consumer buying of some scarce materials Although these rates have been renewed for an indefinite period since the war ended the repeal pressure may well be irresistible this year President Takes Customary Walk INDEPENDENCE — Despite Mo Dec 24 icy streets and President temperatures Truman took his customary brisk walk this morning The president home for
