Of His Beheading
TOKYO, (/P) — An Australian
soldier who lived to crawl from
his jungle grave told the interna
tional war crimes tribunal today
how the Japanese had botched the
job of beheading him.
Testimony of the witness, Colin
Fleming Brien, 23, of Sydney,
opened the final phase of the pros
ecution’s long case against 27
wartime Japanese leaders. The
trial began last June 3.
Brien said he was taken to a
clearing in jungles near Singapore
early in 1942, was told in English:
‘You are going to meet your God.’’
and was forced to sit on the edge
of his grave, blindfolded and with
his wrists tied behind him. A Jap
anese officer, sword in hand,
pushed Brien’s head forward,
then—
“After a few seconds, I felt a
heavy, dull blow on the back of
my neck. I fell over on my right
side, then lost consciousness. When
I regained consciousness, I was
lying at the bottom of the grave
underneath some wooden palings
and clods of earth. I had a large
wound in the back of my neck,
and was covered with blood.”
He said he never had been given
any form of trial, nor been charg
ed with any offense.
With his feet, he dislodged the
earth piled upon him, Brien testi
fied and struggled from the grave.
Eventually he reached Singapore,
only to be imprisoned by Japanese
until the end of the war.
Australia’s prosecutor, Mr. Jus
tice Alan James Mansfield of
Queensland named wartime Pre
mier Hideki Tojo and 11 other de
fendants responsible for atrocities
against Allied prisoners of war
and internees.

generally that U. S. Secretary of
States James F. Byrnes contrib
uted greatly to this by disclosing
voluntarily the number and posi
tion of American troops on for
eign soil—information that Russia
fought unsuccessfully to have ev

This advancement in United
Nations relations was keynoted by
Warren R. Austin, chief of the U.
S. delegation in the closing hours
of the session.
“Starting with the ink and pa
per charter,” Austin told fellow
! delegates, “we progressed from
positive disagreement and skepti
cism as to the solution of the great
problems confronting us to a new
ly discovered harmony—to almost
unanimous agreement. I think
that we have established the essen
tial reality of the United Nation.”
Similar sentiments were expres
sed from klieg-lighted rostrom by
Secretary-General Trygve Lie and
assembly president Paul Henri
Spaak of Belgium at the dramatic
finale.
Most delegates agreed that the
importance of the assembly was
emphasized by the fact that Russia
had sent her top-flight diplomats
to the session—Foreign Minister
V. M. Molotov, Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky and
Andrei A. Gromyko.
