Growing battles for railroads lead- ing toward North China and Man-\ churia were reported even as the government pressed the unfinished Job of disarming thousands of Japa- | nese after eight years of war. | Some 200,000 Japanese combat troops still retained arms in the northern provinces of Hopei and Shantung. The schedule calls for their complete disarmament by De- cember 31.

Tom- oyuki Yamashita, who was reduced to the status of the “Jackal of the Philippines” by the end of the war, today was linked for the first time directly with the hyena-like brutal- ities of the barbarous troops he commanded. ] A Japanese interpreter who served | with the brutal Kempei Tai military police and the Filipino secretary of a known collaborator with the en- emy both testified to the fallen Tiger's knowledge of the brutal do- ings of the Japanese soldiers, in & stormy afternoon session concluding the first week of Yamashita's trial as a war criminal. Narcisco Lapus, former secretary to the exiled political genecral Ar- temio Ricarte, was brought into court under guard from an internee | prison, to testify that in conversa- ticns with Ricarte, Yamashita af- {irmed his order.to “wipe out all Filipinos.” Ricart> returned from exile to the P‘ ilippines in 1941 in the role of a| eison and special envoy from Junmw.«n Premier Hideki Tojo to offect the friendship and prepare the islands for independence under e Japanese rule.” Lapus testified, over the strenu-| cus and repeated protests of the de- | {ense that the evidence was “hearsay four times removed,” that Ricarte| contacted Yamashita at least four | times in the latter months of the year, an pleaded with him to spare | the Philippines from mass destruc- ticn and slayin But, Lapus erted, Yamashita | to are no longer our friends. “wipe out all Filipinos, as they | They are | RESULTS IN NEW ACTION Arguments a;jDedudions Made on Last Day in Northland's Case WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—A com- | plete survey of the Alaska air facili- ties may result from efforts of the Civil Aeronautics Board to arrange | new service to the Orient. Public Counsel Russell R. Bern- hard suggested during oral argu- ments on applications for Pacific routes, that the board must consider the effect of any new certification on the operations of the many flying services in the Territory. The board’s examiners have rec- | ommended that Alaska Airlines be | authorized to fly between Seattle and Anchorage, where it would con- nect with a recommended North- west Airlines route across the Aleu- tians to the Orient, Bernhard sald Alaska’s develop- ment requires an Alaska-Seattle connection in addition to Pan Am- erfcan, which now operates to sev- eral Alaskan cities, He conceded the ability of most domestic applicants but expressed bellef an Alaska-based line would be a better selection. To the arguiment that an Alaska line could not afford to equip for peak loads, he suggested it could lease equipmient for heavy traffic periods or that Pan American could handle the overflow. h Questioned by Board Member Harllee Branch, Bernhard said cer- tification of an Alaska carrier for the profitable Seattle traffic un- doubtedly would hurt some of the other carriers, “The board,” he added, “may have to determine whether the preserva- tion of the smaller companies is a handicap to the development of a | sound Alaskan service.” Hugh W. Darling, attorney for Western Airlines, told the board he believed the recently concluded Can- adian agreement was broad enough to permit an extension of WAL from Lethbridge to Edmonton and Cal- gary, Alta., and probably to permit a transfer of passengers betwecn American flag lines at Edmonton. The two countries, he acknowledged, would have to conserit to a modifica- tion of the agreement. The six-day hearing ended yester- day. There was no indication how, soon a decision might be forth- coming. RAIDS REVEAL DOPE TRAFFIC HEAVY IN DIST. OF COLUMBIA WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Col. Ed- ward J.
