Kinsley, at his home in San Francisco but was unable to locate him," Mr. Penrod said. "I am afraid Washington's Birthday, Saturday and Sunday are out as far as getting any action one way or the other is concerned." "Talking to Sen. Carl Hayden in Washington, he expressed doubts if any administration official would act through this three-dav holi day, Mr. uysart said, "i anticipate we will have to continue the situation as it is until Monday." Omcial Word Lacking Neither Penrod nor Dysart had received any word, official or otherwise, to the effect dairymen would have to resume production of Grade A milk before the OPA will consider their application for an increase in returns.

So the eighth dav of the refusal of the majority of the Phoenix milkshed dairymen to prepare Grade A milk passed without inci dent. Both the OPA and the producers had exhausted their verbal ammunition and were sitting tight until the higher-ups oi the OPA in San Francisco and Washington San passed on the figures that have been submitted to back up the claim that producers are justified in asking more money for their product at this time. The distribution of milk to de serving cases continued from the Co-op Dairy, 910 Grand Ave nue; Krutt Dairy, McDowell road, and the Home Dairy, North 32nd street. It appeared that the babies were being supplied without trip to Co-op sales Heavy At the Co-op, 1,600 quarts were sold yesterday in comparison with 1,200 quarts Thursday. It was announced its store will be open ail day tomorrow.

All hospitals were supplied with their requirements. Other residents of the city, if they were not previously buying milk from some small neighborhood distributor who is selling the raw product, have turned to condensed milk. So far grocery stores have been able to meet the demands.

At least a dozen such reports were received the last, two days, when everything from exhaust pipes to tires and wheels have been stolen by thieves.

Tomoyuki Yamashita symbol of Japan's power at the conquest of Singapore and of her maniacal desperation in de feat at Manila was hanged in disgrace today as a war criminal. The first big name figure to be executed in the Pacific war theater by the Allies, the 60-year-old Yamashita died in civilian garb at the end of a rope instead of before a firing squad. The latter form of execution, regarded by Japanese as awaits Yamashita's nre-decessor in the Philippines. Lt. Gen.

Masaharu Homma. Death on the gallows regarded in Japan as the height of shame was meted out for the stocky officer for condoning such atrocities by his men in the later days of the war as the February, 1945. rape of Manila. Two Others Die Two other Japanese were executed with him. The hanging of Yamashita, stripped of all military appurtenances on orders of General Douglas Mac-Arthur, who branded his former foe a disgrace to the military profession, took place southeast of Manila near Los Banos, in Laguna province.

The end for Yamashita thus came not far from the Los Banos camp where his soldiers had held and tortured thousands of Allied prisoners. Three eenerals of MacArthur's staff came to Manila from Tokyo in connection with the execution. Final Comment Made Death was at dawn. General Yamashita, whose men fought but failetf to stop soldiers of General MacArthur reinvading the Philippines, commented in a final statement: "As I said in Manila Supreme Court what I have done was with all my capacity. So I don't ashamed in front of God for what I have done when I have died.

But if you say to me 'You do not have anv ability to command Japanese army. should say nothing for it. for it is my own nature." MacArthur had branded Yama shita. for his condoning of atroci ties, as a blot on military history. Treatment Is Praised He was followed to the scafford by Lt.

Col. Seichi Ohta. former head of the Japanese Kempei Tai (thought police) in the Philippines. and Takuma Higashigi, Japanese civilian interpreter. They were convicted of torturing and killing Filipino civilians.

Yamashita's final statement spoke of "good treatment, kindful attitude from your good-natured officers who all the time protect me." "I never forget for what they have done for me even if I have died," he said. "I don't blame my executioners. I will pray God bless them." Priays For Emperor The executions were in a weed-covered cane field southeast of Manila. The prisoners had been led quietly from a barbed-wire enclosed prison camp where they were detained in a tin-roofed shed walled with thick, meshed invasion matting. They were escorted away quietly of Yamashita's beaten army held in surrounding stockades.

The trap of the hastily-erected wooden gallows was sprung for Yamashita at 3:02 a. m. (12:02 p. m. Friday Phoenix time.) Yamashita was accompanied to the scaffold by an interpreter and a priest, appearing calm and stoical.

There was no fire and. after the first shock, the group of some 200 persons who were uniniured left the church dining room in what police described as an orderly manner. Washington hospital, where the injured were treated, identified the dead woman as Mrs.

Martha Knestrick Mollenauer, 37 years old, church pianist. The explosion occurred as she walked past the boiler room door. Every ambulance in this community of 26,000 was called. About 15 persons were carried on litters to the nearby American Legion home and later were removed to the hospital. The emergency found the hospital with only one bed vacant.

(Saturday) (AP) Unconfirmed reports said today the surrender of mutinous royal Indian navy sailors appeared imminent, as soldiers and firemen battled flames, touched off by rioters, which destroyed 19 grain shops and damaged five banks in Bom- Day. There were no official reports on casualties, but newspaper estimates of the number of dead ranged from 60 to 100, while one report placed the number bf injured at 500.

The disorders, described by a deputy police commissioner as "absolute rebellion," involved civilians in sympathy with the naval mutiny. British troops fired machineguns several times yesterday into surging crowds. An authoritative source in close touch witii the regotiations said early today the sailors' surrender appeared near, although the army refused to confirm the report and Ihe mutineers' "board of strategy" could not be reached. Terms Are Reported The source said the central strike committee the name given by the Indian sailors designate their strategy board recommended unconditional surrender after being assured by leaders of the Indian Congress party that the partv would intercede with higher naval authorities not to punish the offenders. He said also the military authority assured the Congress party its intercessions would be heard.

The buildings damaged bv fire included three branches of the Imperial Bank and two branches of Lloyds. The British had clamped a 9 p. m. curfew on the troubled area of the city, but reports from inside the area said the curfew hour had not ended the disorders by any means. British troops had orders to shoot to kill any person on -the streets during the forbidden period.

A British communique said muti? neers aboard the sloop HMIS Hindustan at Karachi had surrendered after a 25-minute exchange of gunfire which killed four of their crew and wounded 26 others. Rioting Continues There were no indications that the Bombay riots, which started in sympathy with the naval uprisings, were abating.

Rifle and machine-gun fire crackled in many sections of the city against crowds which surged through the streets, hurling stones, setting fire the civilian and military vehicles, smashing store windows and halting busses and trams. Striking drivers of one of the city's principal transportation systems seized busses, festooned them with Hindu and Moslem league flags and careened through the downtown streets at high speed. The crowds were unawed by British armored cars which rumbled through the streets or by a flight of Royal Air Force bombers which flew over the city.

Embassy is Guarded The walled lane leading to the Soviet Embassy was heavily guard ed by Chinese police, armed with machine guns.

The iron doors of Communist headquarters were locked and also guarded by armed police.

Building Wrecked Demonstrators in Chungking, some of whom came from as far as CO miles, were led by 40 professors, and paraded through the streets bearing anti-Soviet banners. They were cheered by hundreds of thousands who lined the walks and leaned from windows, waving Chinese national flags.

They massed in front of offices of the Communist New China Daily and the Democratic Daily, organ of the Democratic League, which were the only two newspapers that had not berated Rus sia's Manchurian policy. After two students were injured, allegedly from stones thrown from the New China Daily office, the mob wrecked the build ing.
