Badges Restored
To 12 Policemen
TACOMA, Wash, (/p)—Twelve
patrolmen, whose “vigilante” raids
on alleged bootleg establishments
brought a reign of tighter law en
forcement, but a warning that dis-'
missal would follow any further
unauthorized activities.
Public safety commissioner Rob
ert E. Temme said he would also i
appoint a five men board to hear
future complaints against police1
officers. The patrolmen said they
felt they could not work efficient
ly under Police Chief Percy E.
Gregg because of a “continuing
4>olicy of persecution.” It was
Gregg who suspended their com
missions and badges after last
week end’s activities.
The new enforcement policy
outlined by Temme would permit I
some low-stake games but ruled
out poker, black jack, bookies,
4-5-6.
“In the future if you see a boot
legger joint, knock it over,” he
said. “There are plenty of private
clubs where the thirsty citizen can
get a drink.”

Truman Tells Of
Easement Of Grain
WASHINGTON, i/P)—President
Truman announced today that the
agriculture department will per
mit distillers and brewers to use
more grain, and will remove limi
tations on the domestic distribu

able grain supply and the shortage
of transportation facilities for re
lief exports abroad.
NEWPORT, R. I. UP)—Mayor
Herbert E. Macauley is dickering
with a Fall River, Mass., realtor
about reconverting a former serv
icemen’s dormitory to a factory
that will employ more than 200.
The Perry Mill on Thames St.
had been vacant for years before
the government made it into a
dormitory early in the war at a
cost of $120,000.
Mayor Macauley appealed to
the Federal Housing Authority in
Boston to declare the property I
“surplus” and “relieve the serious !
unemployment in Newport.”
In the era before Alaska Airlines' big,
multi-engine Starlinors went into service,
the task of moving a dragline to a new
location was a tremendous one, often
involving sledge, riverboats, and ship
ment Outside and back.
Now, moving day for a mine means
hours instead of months, thanks to the
mighty carrying capacity of the Star
liners.
Not everyone in Alaska moves mines.
But nearly all Alaskans ship something,
even if it's only a tiny package. And
experience has shown that shipment by
Alaska Airlines is the swiftest, surest
means of transport available.
All Starliners carry air-freight on sched
uled runs. Special aircraft are available
for specialized moving jobs. Contact your
nearest Alaska Airlines agent for rates.

I Blackburn Tells
Of Jap Prison
Gimp Horrors
TOKYO, (>P)—Australian Brig
adier Arthur Seaforth Blackburn,
who was imprisoned during most
of the war in the same camps as
Lt. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright,
told the international war crimes
tribunal today that even the most
high ranking prisoners were
“without rights” and subject to the
merest whims of their Japanese
guards.
Blackburn, whose testimony was
just under way when the war
crimes court was adjourned for
the weekend, related that he had
been informed frequently by Jap
anese officers that “prisoners had j
no right whatever.” Under the
Japanese bushido code and that
the principles of the Geneva con
vention did not concern the Jap
anese.
He testified that in a Batavia
prison camp in April. 1942, the
Japanese housed from 2,600 to
4,000 Allied prisoners in barracks
which the Dutch had constructed
to care for a maximum of 1,000
troops.
Four hundred fifty survivors of
the United States cruiser Houston
and the Australian cruiser Perth
were lodged in the camp and re
fused medicines, food and tlothing
although “they were in a pitiful
state due to neglect and ill health,”
Blackburn testified.
Uncover Remains
Of Cortez
MEXICO CITY, <P)—While his
torians stood by as witnesses, gov
ernment authorities last night
opened the crystal and gold urn
said to contain the remains of Her
nando Cortez, conqueror of Mex
ico, and pronounced authentic its
contents of a skull, bones and a
rolled document.
The document, dated Dec. 6.
1836, wa sfound to agree in every
detail with a copy possessed by
Baeza y Moreno, one of the four
discoverers of the hidden urn.
Historians assumed from the
date that the urn was removed
from its former resting place j
in the chapel of Jesus hospital
during anti-Spanish riots of 1823,
but was not hidden in the wall of
I the chapel until 13 years later.

Britain Removes
Troops From
Indonesia
(By Stanley Swinion)
BATAVIA, Java. (/P)— Britain
fulfilled today her pledge to with
draw all occupation forces from In
donesia before Nov. 30, even while
new fighting was reported to have
broken out between Dutch forces
and Indonesian Republican troops.
The last British and Indian sol
diers of an army which once num
bered 92,000 sailed this afternoon
from Batavia and Padang, Sumat
ra. The BritLsh-oHIcered Allied
Forces East Indies Command offi
cially ceases to- exist at midnight
tonight.
The occupation,, which began
when a naval party landed Sept.
15, 1945, cost the British 600 killed
1,320 wounded, 320 missing and
600 deserters. The troops disarm
ed and repatriated 270,000 Japan
ese and evacuated 110,000 Allied
prisoners of war, internees and
displaced persons.
The Indonesian-Dutch draft
agreement which would finally
end the Indonesian warfare and
united Indonesia and the Nether
lands as partners is still awaiting
■ ratification at the Hague. Cross
accusations of truce violations
were made by Dutch and Indone
sian military leaders as the British
departed.
Lt. Gen. Siem Spoor, Dutch
commander in chief, said that the
military situation in the islands
was “steadily deteriorating.""
The Indonesian information
ministry said hostilities, begun
yesterday, were under way on all
fronts and threatened to become
large scale. Dutch tanks are mov
ing toward Bekassi, 15 miles
southeast of here, the announce
ment said, and the army of the In
donesian Republic has cancelled
all leaves.
ATTENTION
The 3-one act plays scheduled
to be given November 30, have
been postponed until Saturday
night, December 7.
