Japanese Guards in Sumatra
Beat Children, Court Told
TOKYO.—Japanese guards beat
and starved Allied civilian women
and children internees with the
same savagery they used on men
in Sumatra, a witness told the in-
ternational war crimes tribunal.
Maj. Cornelis Leenheer, former
Dutch water polo Olympic star, tes-
tified he was an employee of the
United States Rubber company at
Kisaran on Sumatra, when the Jap-
anese invaded the Dutch East Indies
in 1942.
As supervisor who looked out for
the interests of women and children
in Sumatra’s camps, Leenheer testi-
fied that Japanese army officials vis-
ited the camps repeatedly but made
no effort to correct conditions.
Electric Power Is Stopped;
Tenants Must Buy Own Coal
VANCOUVER, WASH.—The Van-
couver housing authority has de-
clared its tenants can buy coal or
sit in the dark.
Originally, the war built housing
projects furnished coal for heating.
But last year the authority decid-
ed tenants should buy their own, coal.
, Electricity, however, is included
in the rent, and the houses have no
meters. So many tenants, officials
said, simply stopped using coal,
bought electric heaters and let them
i and ovens run constantly.
The power load got so heavy that
three transformers burned out in
one week. So from now on stations
will use smaller fuses, and if ten-
ants use too much electricity they’ll
be left in darkness.
PAYS /CONGRESS A VISIT . . . Gen. George C. Marshall, U. S.
secretary of state, told the foreign relations committee that the “world
is in a very critical condition.” Left to right: Arthur H. Vanden-

General Marshall and Sen. Tom Connally (Dem., Tex.), former com-
mittee chairman, listen to the nation’s number one diplomat as he
tells the senate committee his attitude on world affairs.

Two Robbers Make Off With
$250, Miss $50,000 Parcel
CHICAGO.—A $25Q robbery went
off without a hitch but the robbers
passed up $50,000.
Two men entered a branch office
of the American Express agency
and cowed Mrs. Theresa Mar-
chetti, manager, and James Mur-
ton, company agent.
They tied both with clothes line
and cleaned out the cash register.
But they left without searching
their victims. Murton had been
deliverying a supply of travelers’
checks to branch offices and had
$50,000 worth in his pocket.

Box Used in Rescuing

TITUSVILLE, PA.—A newborn
baby, among seven patients res-

cardboard box and carried to
safety in near zero temperatures
and a biting wind.
Other patients were taken out
in their beds—the handiest way

at about $80,000. It was formerly

Foresee Expansion
Gains in both exports and imports
this year are forecast in a report on
postwar trends in United States for-
eign trade issued by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
Assuming a continued high
rate of business activity, the re-
port estimates merchandise ex-
ports may exceed $11,000,000,-
000 in 1947, compared with $9,-
700,000,000 in 1946. The report
estimates imports in 1947 may
reach $6,000,000,000, compared
with $4,900,000,000 in 1946.

American labor movements with a
total membership of over 12 million.
Significantly, John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers, who left the
AFL to head the new CIO and then
returned to the AFL, was named
on the AFL negotiating committee
headed by Pres. William Green. Fa-
miliar with the mechanics and per-
sonalities of both unions, John L. is
in a strategic position to pave the
way for unification.
Representatives of two former
AFL unions were named on the CIO
committee led by Pres. Philip Mur-
ray. They included Emil Rieve of
the Textile Workers and Jacob Patof-
sky of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers. As former units in the
AFL, these two CIO unions also can
bring their combined experience in
both labor movements into the dis-
cussions to reach a common ground
of agreement.
FAMINE:
Aid Romania
The American Red Cross drew
upon Uncle Sam’s bounty to relieve
Romania’s worst famine in 50
years. No less than 500,000 men,
women and children were suffering
starvation in the Moldavian region
and lacking clothing and other
supplies.
Red Cross purchases of 4,500 tons
of 10-in-1 rations and 2,500 tons of
beans from the war department
assured the stricken Moldavians of
1,000 calories a day for 16 days.

GOP, President Truman paved the
way for an early end to the national
emergency proclaimed in 1939 and
extended in 1941.
With the Republican congress
bent on restoring normalcy, Mr.
Truman again anticipated GOP
action by asking the legislators to
repeal 24 temporary laws, tempo-
rarily extend 12 others, permit an-
other 10 to run out their course,
and cut back 12 appropriations.
Among the 24 laws the President
tabbed for repeal were those au-
thorizing the secretary of agricul-
ture to buy and distribute food for
U. S. territories and possessions;
disposal of ships under lend-lease
and accumulation of 90 days annual
leave for government employees.
Laws which he said should be
allowed to run their course include
restriction of active duty of re-
serves to emergencies; government
construction and use of petroleum
lines, and temporary maintenance
of housing on public lands.
Trimming of emergency laws
would reduce the President’s war-
time powers still in effect to those
covering the official war period,
which will end with ratification of
peace treaties.
WORLD TRADE:
Must import
There is a huge demand for
American goods overseas but the
U. S. will have to accept payment
in large part in foreign goods, in-
dustry and government officials told
the annual Chicago World Trade
conference.
Declaring that American exports
chiefly will be _ limited by the
amount, of foreign exchange held by
other countries, John L. McCaffrey,
president of International Har-
vester company, urged that the
U. S. should finance shipments with
imports of goods and services which
we do not produce ourselves or can
buy more cheaply abroad. As long
as we maintain high tariffs, foreign
loans for exports could not be re-
paid and would result in losses, he
said.
Unless foreign markets are found
for American agricultural products,
farm output will have to be cur-
tailed, with a consequent reduction
in demand for industrial goods, Sec-
retary , of Commerce Harriman
stated. The government hopes to
establish trade stability through .
reciprocal agreements and creation
of an international trade authority,
he said.

CHICAGO.—Badly shattered hip
joints of elderly people mend faster
and safer with a new steel device
known as the Jewitt nail, American
Academy of Orthopedic Specialists
were told here.
Three bone specialists of St.
Luke’s hospital, New York, said that
the appliance does away with the
method of using pulleys on the leg
while the patient remained in bed
for as long as 14 weeks.
“It was estimated that about 40
per cent of elderly patients die while
in traction,” the doctors said. “Oth-
ers develop pressure sores fhom ly-
ing in bed so long and many develop
bladder inflammation and irritation.
“About 11 per cent have to be
transferred to mental institutions be-
cause of a severe psychotic state
which develops.”
Using the Jewitt device, a combi-
nation three-flanged nail and bone
plate all in one piece, the doctors
said they have been able to reduce
mortality to about 12 per cent and
prevent crooked healing.
The time the patient must stay in
the hospital has been cut almost half,
they said, and the cost proportion-
ately reduced.
Although the hip fracture is tra-
ditionally one suffered by old peo-
ple, the injury often is sustained by
individuals in the prime of life, the
surgeons said.
About 95 patients with shattered
hips have been operated on in New
York, using the Jewitt nail, they
added.
Surgeons making the report were
Dr. Mather Cleveland, Dr. David \
M. Bosworth and Dr. Frederick R.
Thompson.
