Vr sN k. i a Court Refuses To Reconsider Hirohito Thought War Deciaration Would Preced Attack: But Admits Advance Word On Pearl Harbor Assault Information Divulged by Former Premier in Response to News Parley Question by American Newsmen. Higashi-Kuni Concedes Jap Military Committed 'Considerable' Number of Atrocities. Error on Hack's Line Drive Lels In Winning Run Game Weirdest And Wildest in World Series History CHICAGO, Oct. 8.

iJP) The three official scorers of the World Series tonight reversed their decision on the play which broke up today's game, ruling that Stanley Hack of the Cubs had doubled in the 12th inninp to score Bill Scuster with the winning run. Previously the scorers had decided that Hack had singled, with Hank Greenberg. left fielder of the Tigers, getting an error. vision was exercised for the enforcement of military discipline, but unfortunately considerable offenses were committed. Regarding our punishment of these offenders, investigation at present is underway." Higashi-Kuni made his answers through General MacArthur's press office, expressing regrets that pressure of business prevented- him meeting correspondents again.

Although the emperor thus passed the word that he had thought war would be declared prior to the attack, as a student of history he knew that modern Japan never had started a war in any way except by surprise assault. In negotiations with the United States, Hirohito had received the state department memorandum of Nov. 26, 1941. and also President Roosevelt's personal plea for peace, but admittedly had ignored both on the advice of those around him that it would be unwise to oppose the Japanese war fever. The Pearl Harbor attack preparations were drawn up on the basis of a long standing navy department general plan.

The attack, which was more 'succesful than had been expected, was announced in Tokyo early in the morning of Dec. 8 prior to Hirohito's war declaration. he knew 3 Florida Cases Decision Knocks Out Two Sections Of Labor Union Law WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. (AP) The supreme court today refused to reconsider a decision which held invalid two sections of a Florida law regulating; labor union activities.

The sections required licensing of paid business agents of unions and registration of labor organizations and their officials. In other actions affecting Florida today the court: Denied Pearl McAden a review of his trial in the Hillsborough county court in Florida, in which he was convicted of murder in the second degree. McAden was tried in the killing of Charles William Vander-horst, Jr. He was sentenced to life Imprisonment. Dade Decision.

Refused to review complaint by Hubert C. Reynolds that the school board of Dade county, Florida, paid more to white teachers than to Negro Instructors. The court's refusal to reconsider Its earlier ruling In the Florida labor union regulation law case had the effect of conclusively knocking out the only two provisions of the 1943 statute that have been tested. Affiliates of the American Federation of Labor had contended the law's requirement that paid union business agents must pay a $1 annual license fee to the state violated the constitutional guarantees of free speech and assembly. State Contention Attorney Gen.

Tom Watson had maintained, however, that paid union representatives could be required under the constitution to Identify themselves and meet qualifications of American citizenship r1.1ack. of a criminal record. The ruling does not involve other provisions of the Florida law which make it unlawful to strike without a secret ballot majority vote of affected employes, collect dues or assessments beyond those authorized by a union constitution, cause any stoppage of work because of a union jurisdictional dispute, picket an employer's home, or picket a plant In such a manner as to block entrance or exit. Nor does the decision affect the validity of the Florida constitutional amendment outlawing labor's closed shop. That provision now Is pending before the supreme court for a test after being upheld by a federal district court.

Florida Tax Revenues Gain Cigarette, Beverage Collections Up TALLAHASSEE," Oct. 8. (JP) In creased rates of taxation plus great er, cigarette sales last month pushed Florida alcoholic beverage and cigarette tax receipts $1,293,904 above collections for the corresponding month of last year. State Beverage Director James T. Vocelle reported beer, wine and whisky tax collections of $1,698,469 in September, compared with in September, 1944 an increase of 147 per cent.

"He said the higher tax probably accounted for most of the Increase. The 1945 legislature boosted liquor taxes 60 per cent, most wine taxes one third, and the beer levy more than three times. Cigarette tax collectios, with a levy increase of 25 per cent were 62.46 per cent above those of Sep-tmber a year ago. The receipts jumped from $452,181 last iyear to $734,638 the same month this year. Vocelle said for the first three months of this fiscal year, liquor taxes have yielded $4,987,741 against at the same date a year ago.

During the first quarter, cigarette tax collections increased from $1,385,308 lastyear to $2,448,468 this year. ur Names ana ur Vouchers Split in the ranks df city council, which have been harmonious for the past four years, appeared Monday afternoon when two members held up appointment of members of the city ad board and delayed payment of vouchers.

(iP) Emperor Hirohito, using newly-retired Premier Prince Higashi-Kuni as his mouthpiece, admitted today that he knew in advance of teh plan to attack Pearl Harbor, but contended he understood that a declaration of war was to be made beforehand.

The answer to blunt questions from American correspondents grew lrom a news conference with Higashi-Kuni on Sept. 18. The prince at that time said he did not know the answer but would try to find out. It was apparent that he got the information from his cousin, Hirohito. "Although his majesty had heard from the naval chief of staff the general outline of operations, he had not been informed of fne details of their execution," Higashi-Kuni said today.

Furthermore, it was his majesty's understanding' that in executing operations the government of the United States would be duly notified prior to commencement of armed action." He said the emperor affixed his signature to the imperial rescript declaring war at 11:30 a.m. Dec. 8, 1941, Japanese time. This was 4 Dec. 7, at Pearl Harbor, more than eight hours after the sneak attack.

Higashl-Kuii give this reply to Ranks of Strike Idle Reduced By 129,000 Coal Mine Row Largest Dispute Still Unsettled By The Associated Press) Back-to-work movements lopped thousands off the number away from work because of strikes Monday and Secretary Schwellenbach reported "progress" in efforts to end the soft coal walkouts. The number on production sidelines fell from last week's high of 550,000 to 421,000. The largest single dispute remaining was the six-state strike of 173,000 miners at more than 625 pits. Among other important labor developments were: 1. Schwellenbach and other high government officials discussed a proposed new' wage-price pattern aimed at helping end reconversion wage strikes.

2. Detroit enjoyed its greatest industrial peace in weeks as two major strikes ended, dropping number of idle from 80,000 to 3,750. Secretary Schwellenbach, in reporting in his conference with John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers president, and bituminous coal operators, asked that they meet again today to continue efforts to end the protracted and growing coal strike. The controversy, which the Solid Fuels administration said cost tons of soft coal production last week alone, is over the operators' refusal to recognize a union of foremen and supervisory employes for collective bargaining.

The union is a branch of Lewis' United Mine Workers, but the veteran miners' leader declined to halt the spreading stoppages, saying they were begun locally by individual units and the UMWA was not responsible. Operators have refused to recognize the union because they said the foremen so organized were actually a part of mine management. The number on the production sidelines falling from near 80.000 to 3,750. Returning workers were those of the Hudson Motor Car company, the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel company ana the first of more than 50,000 Ford Motor company production employes laid off because of strikes. married women's associations have invited unmarried mothers, whose wedding plans were foiled.

More than 800 greater Miami Coast Guard reservists were "disenrolled' from servicetoday at ceremonies in Bay-front Park. CHICAGO, Oct. 8. (AP) Stan Hack drove a blazing liner into left field in the 12th inning of today's sixth world series game, and when the ball bounced over Hank Green-berg's shoulder and rolled to the wall Billy Schuster scored all the way from first with the run that enabled the Chicago Cubs to defeat the Detroit Tigers 8 to 7, and deadlock the classic at three victories each. Greenberg, who only five innings before had powered a home run with none on to tie the score at 7-7, was planted directly in front of the ball and would easily have held Schuster at third if he had made the stop.

Two were out at the time, and a benumbed crowd of 41,708 had fully expected the two teams to battle on -into the darkness when the blow-off came. For five innings Dizzy Trout, Detroit's fifth pitcher, had been turning back the Cubs' every threat, while Hank Borowy had stifled the Tigers from the ninth frame on. Greenberg's error came as a disappointing climax to a thrilline strug gle. whW had seen the Tigers stage another of their famous four-run rallies in the eighth inning to send it into extra innings. There was some argumct whether Greenberg should have been charged with an error on the final play, but the official scorers did not nesitate to slap the onus on the big left- fielder.

He did not get his hands on the pellet, but it was ruled that that was his fault that he was out there to head off ground balls. It was one of those plays which will be debated in the baseball world for some time. Regardless of whose fault it was, the sight of Schuster scampering home meant that the National league had fought off the "sudden death" that had threatened them and that the seventh and deciding game would be played down to the bitter finish on Wednesday. The teams will rest tomorrow while Wrigley field, doubtless, is being sold out again. Today' loss, after one of the weirdest, wildest games in series history, brought shudders to Detroit fans, who twice before.
