Mass Raping By Jap Soldiers in Manila Related Filipino Women and Girls Victims of Brutal Crimes Details of the mass raping of 25 Manila many of only 12 to 14 years who were passed from Japanese to Japanese were related the war crimes trial of 'Lt. Gen.

Tomoyuki Yamashita. The twenty-five were selected from among 400 females rounded up from Manila's rich Erniita district and submitted to a selection board which picked out most comely for the lustful orgy. The Filipinas were from man 'to man and room to room. Their protests and screams brought only slaps and more brutal treatment: So frank and detailed was the Filipinas' testimony that correspondents as well as the public were barred from the room where a U. S.

military commission of five generals is trying Yamashita. Military police flanked every door and corridor of the high commissioner's residence, scene trial: The press was of the handed resumes of the testimony to spare the witnesses as much embarrassment, as possible. Brutalities Testified Yamashita, as commander in the Philippines, is charged with re- sponsibilty for the actions of his troops. Witnesses related these stones: After the 25 women and girls were sfelected on Feb. 9, they were taken "to" the Bayview hotel, where Tobacco Price Control at End Free Market on 1945 Crop Seen; OPA Rule Is "Difficult" controls on Wisconsin tobacco are near an end, it was announced Wednesday night to a telegrain of Senator Robert LaFollette to Daniel Pierce, head of the Tobacco Growers association in this area.

In his telegram, LaFollette said: "OPA announces this afternoon that ceilings will be removed on 1945 tobacco crop." Pierce said that the removal of price controls has been sought by the growers association for sometime without success. Recently it had been announced in Washington that 1944 regulations were to be carried over for the 1945 crop, but growers were unable to learn whether or not that meant that the 1944 price level was to be maintained also. The announcement from LaFollette was taken here to mean that tobacco dealers will be allowed to buy crops freely both as to price and tune for making contracts. During the warj. OPA fixed the time at which buyers might begin purchasing and also set ceiling prices.

The effect was. that practically all tobacco sold at the ceil- Last year's 'crop ceilings were 25 cents for sorting, 12 cents for stemming and 18 cents for straight stripped crops. OPA GIVES REASONS FOB ENDING MJGUfcATION Eleven types of 1945 crop cigar leaf tobacco; including Southern Wisconsin (type 54) and Northern Wisconsin 55) will be exempted from price control "in the near future," the OPA said Wednesday. Opa cited three principal reasons for the to exempt cigar leaf tobacco from price control: 1. "Serious "administrative difficulties 'are involved in establishing or maintaining ceiling prices for the types involved.

2. "Most of this tobacco must be packed and put through a 'natural sweat' process for several months, so that practically none of the 1945 crop will begin to be used in making cigars until the latter half of 1946. 3. "Current trends indicate that competition within the cigar try will have become sufficiently strong to warrant removal of ceiling' prices on domestic cigars before 1he 1945 crop of leaf tobacco is ready for use in cigar production."

Japanese officers and enlisted men took turns raping them in a nightlong orgy. Next day, the Filipinas were taken to the nearby Alhambra apartment and, subjected to continued brutalities. A witness identified as "Miss said a marine who selected her was unable to effect an attack, so he performed a bad operation" with a raped her. A Miss said she was raped by 12 to 15 Japanese marines one niRht. Fires raged in Manila on Feb.

"Hate All Whites" Miss testified that she protested to Japanese officers at the Bayview against the treatment of the Women and girls and was told that "we have an order from the high command to kill all civilians in Manila and we hate all white women." The reason the women were not all killed, she said, was that the Japanese decided they might wish to put them in the front lines to prevent the Americans from attacking. Miss a Japanese lieutenant named Kito told her he was powerless to-stop the orgy, since the men and officers Involved were from the front lines and were at liberty to do anything they desired. Other witnesses told the commission that they were forced to yield to the Japaftese on the threat that otherwise their husbands and other members of their families wosld be killed.

Hirohito Purse Must Pay Part of Reparations Washington Edict Is Jolt to Jap Public; Fortune Scanned By BfSSEIX BRINES Fumimaro Konoye's new career as a liberal leader toUcred today. Allied headquarters chopped away much of his prestige by announcing that he was not selected by the Allies to revise the Japanese a task he already had begun. Washington's announcement that Emperor Kirohilo must pay part of Japan's reparations bill from his huge personal fortune is apt to become an even bigger 'political bombshell, however. It was the first indication that the emperor may be blamed, at least partly, for the war.

The economic value of the move is as yet indefinite, pending further investigation of what appears to be a land and bond-poor fortune. Drop in Bucket The Imperial balance sheet, somewhat more than is a mere drop in the reparations bucket at best. Only $22,410,658 are in liquid assets. Japanese will have little to say now, but are almost certain generally to interpret'the action as an indirect labelling of Hirohito as a war criminal. They heretofore have made little distinction between those openly blamed and those considered to have been indirectly responsible.

Edwin W. Pauley, American member of the reparations committee, voiced for the Japanese was a revolutionary conception In asserting that there could be no distinction between the emperor and his government. Blow to Jap Idea The Japanese have, considered the government as an instrument of the emperor, but he personally has been held too high to be sponsible for its mistakes. It is doubtful if many of the Japanese, even those highly placed, ever considered the that the emperor might be held to blame for the war, although reparations payments have been-constantly on the minds of government- officials. The emperor's fortune has been hitherto considered so inviolate that the mere American demand for the balance sheet brought the first silent resentment among the people at occupation methods.

Few complaints of minor damage were received during the night at the police and sheriff departments here but both reported finding no gatherings of would-be pranksters. Police Chief Jasper Webb, anticipating a wave 'of destruction because of pre-Halloween vandalism, called on force of 20 men," cancelling and also accepted an offer from Company state guaroV for extra men. All available city automobiles were pressed into use for patrolling activities but all but regular pol ice squad patrols were called in at 11 reports from all sections of the city indicated gangs were not being formed. Chief Webb and City Manager Henry Traxler commended highly the action taken by school officials during the past two days in asking cooperation of students in preventing vandalism. Both said they recognized the fine cooperation of 'parents in making it Janesville's quietest observance of Halloween.

School Prin. O. L. Robinson and Vice Prin. Kenneth Bick said today they were extremely gratified at the result of their efforts and all school students, and their-parents for their cooperation.

At the sheriffs office only three complaints were received up to midnight and city, police had only two reports of damage during'the night The first damage -report received by came at 7 p. -m. from the Parker Pen where a window had been broken.

Meanwhile, Chinese Communists today expressed open dissatisfaction over the'role played by United States, forces in China and spurned the latest proposal of the Chinese central government, aimed at avoiding full, scale civil war. The No. 2 Communist' leader, Gen.
