16. i A') Heny Pu-Yi today defended his acceptance of the puppet throne of Manchuria by attacking Allied inaction in the face of Japanese conquest. Pu-rYi, a nervous little man in a blue serge suit, was testifying at the trial of Japan's war leaders some of whom gave him orders when he was the puppet emperor. Recounting the 14-year-old intrigue that led him to the false throne of his forefather's country, the last of the Manchu emperors interjected: "At that time 1932 and 1933 the democratic nations were not trying to resist Japanese militarists. I alone as an individual would hardly be able to resist them." He snapped upright from his habitual slump to address his remarks directjv to the 11 justices.

Speaking brusquely, he emphasized his statement by waving a thin ivory fan and gesturing with long, graceful fingers. Then abruptly, he returned to his impassive verbal shuffling through the ded years to tell how one of the defendants. Seishiro Itagaki, then an army colonel, first, offered him the clav throne in his Japanese controlled Port Arthur. He said he first refused, then accepted it in the face of threats against his life. Itagaki sat upright in the prisoners' box and took copious notes.

A sardonic smile played across thin lips beneath his mustache. At the end of the day's session Pu-Yi left the courtroom as lie had arrived in Russian custody. President Signs 204 Bills, Lets 16 Die by Pocket Veto Process WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.

or President Truman wound uo his work on the 79th congress today by decreeing death for the last measure it -sent him. This bill would abolish the Parker wildlife refuge in Massachusetts. Press Secretary Charles G. Ross told reporters that Mr. Truman had dee'ded to let the bill die by pocket veto without taking any action.

The president had until midnight tonight to act on It. Mr. Truman signed 204 bills after congress quit and pocket vetoed 16. Rejection of the wildlife bill cleared the president's desk before his departure later in the day on an 18-day vacation cruise in New England and Atlantic waters. The White House said that since he became president Mr.

Truman has signed 1.074 bills, vetoed 55, pocket vetoed 19 and allowed one to become law without his signature. (When congress is in session any bill unsigned 10 days after it reaches the president's desk becomes law automatically).

Both the speaker and the president believe tins ayeiiiy distorted and prrvertea the function It is to per- lorm. Tins urowp. according to their viewpoint, slutuld merely execute the wiil of the majority by framing the rules under which measures should be debated and voted on by the house. Oner another committee has sanctioned a bill by majority vote, rule's duty is to decide when it should be considered by the full body and under what parliamentary conditions. It should have jurisdiction only over the cUx-k.

the calendar and I he machinery of debate and ballot. I'KN'SOK But. the conservative bipartisan bloc assumed far greater power in the recent session. It set itself up as a separate legislative body. Even thoufth a standing committee had approved a measure after exhaustive discussion and study, uiles held its own hearings and acted as a court of appeal with full authority to reject the original decision.

Many times, even thouRh it was (bar thai the leadership and a house majority favored enactment of a controversial measure, rules re-fired to let. the lower chamber have a chance tu vote a bill. It virtually made itself a censor of the othfr 419 members of the house. There are 2 men on rules. Thus.

President Truman and Speaker Ravburn have embarked on a major ana Dasic leiorm oi congressional procedure as modified by the conservative, bipartisan coalition on rules. Their battle is reminiscent of i he 1911 tiKht which smashed the control exerted bv "Boss" Cannon. SAHI Three Democrats were responsible for President Truman's troubles during the recent session and for his possible 1943 embarrassment. By Union up with the four Republican minority members, they were able to block affirmative ac-t ion. Mr.

Tinman eliminated one enemy when he demanded and obtained the prnnarv oefeat of Rep. Roger C'aluwell Hlaimhter i.r the Fifth Missouri district. But for safety's sake ne must eet rid of Rep. Eugene E. Cox of Cieorgia and Howard Worth Smith f.f Arlington county in near-ov Virginia.

Mr. Cox appears to be a fixture and irremovable by political action. But the and president are hoping and expecting that Virginia Democrats will aid them by nominating Mr. Smith for the senate vacancy caused by the death of the late great Carter Glass. In that event, the speaker would break up the anti-Truman rules ring by putting in two loyal administration men the places of Mr.

Slaughter' and Mr. Smith. That would make a total of seven "loyal" Democrats, a majority of one. Seen in this parliamentary light, the Truman vendetta against Mr. Slaughter and the political conspiracy against "Judge" Smith amount to more than minor, sectional scraps.
