Treason Charges
LOS ANGELES, (>P)—A young
Japanese-American, dramatically
trapped by an alert ex-GI prison
er, was held without bail today on
treason charges, accused of being
a wartime foreman in a Japanese
prison camp on Honshu Island.
Trailed by the federal bureau of
investigation for eight months af
ter he was spotted here by the
former soldier, Tomoya Kawakita.
| 25, a native of Calexico, Calif.,
was arrested late yesterday and
immediately arraigned before U.
S. Commissioner David B. Head.
Squat, bespectacled Kawakita
was ordered held for* the federal
grand jury which will consider in
dictment June 11. He appeared
near tears as the commissioner
told him that treason is punishable
by death.
U. S. Attorney James M. Car
ter, preparing the government’s
case against the one-time student
; declared Kawakita will face the
testimony of “close to 100” for
mer American servicemen who
were subjected to “unspeakable
indignities” in Oeyama camp on
Honsnu.
None will be more eager to tes
tify than William L. Bruce of
Buena Park, Calif., the ex-soldier
who saw Kawakita in a Los An
geles department store last Octo
ber and said he recognized the
Nisei as the foreman known as
‘Kaw-Kida” in the prison camp.
Bruce followed him and jotted
down the license number of his
car, then reported his discovery
to the FBI. He has been under
surveillance since.

Arms Unification
Means Merger •
WASHINGTON, t/P) — Senator
Robertson (R.-Wyo), said yester
day the pending army-navy unifi
cation bill actually would merge
the two services.
“It’s merger legislation, pure
and simple,” the Wyoming law
maker told a reporter. “Let’s not
fool ourselves about , that.”
Robertson is a member of the
Senate armed services committee
which in his absence Wednesday
approved the bill by a 12 to 0 vote.
He said he would have voted
against the measure.
It provides for unification of the
military and naval forces under a
secretary of national security.
The bill says specifically that
there shall be no merger, a provi
sion upon which the navy insisted.
But Robertson contended that
j “nine lines of the bill are merger
lines and it doesn’t take a lawyer
to figure it out.”
The House armed services group
already has voted to open hearings
on the proposal. They probably
will be started in about two
weeks.

“Good afternoon. How are you?
How is the weather? I beg your
pardon. Good bye”
