Six Japs Hanged
In Guam
GUAM UP)—Six Japanese, from
admirals to private, were hanged,
last night for wartime atrocities,
on a gallows carefully hidden from
vengeful Guamanians—and their
bodies interred in unmarked jun-,
gle graves.
The dead and their crimes:
Vice Adm. Koho Abe, one-time 1
Japanese navy commander in the
Marshall Islands, who ordered the i
execution of nine of the U. S. ma
rines who raided Makin Island in
1942 from submarines.
Rear Adm. Shigematsu Sakai
bara, former commander on
Wake, who ordered the machine
gun massacre of 98 Americans j
there late in the war and who per-,
sonally beheaded one who escaped
the machine gun blasts.
Lt. Col. Kikuji Ito, who ordered j
the fatal bayonetting of two |
downed American fliers on Chichi
Jima and who beheaded the
corpses.
, Capt. Uoboru Nakajima, who!
beat an American flier to death
on the same island.
Seanu n first class Kaji Takaha
shi, also condemned for murder
• and cannibalism on liberated
Guam.
The six were marched, one by
one, from ambulances to an iso
lated quonset warehouse in which
a gallows had been secretly in
stalled. The navy command had
guarded carefully the place and j
hour of the execution. None but
official witnesses attended.
Security Council
Overrides Russia
LAKE SUCCESS, (/P) — The
United Nations security council to
day overrode a Russian attempt to
block immediate consideration of
a governor for Trieste.
The vote was 9 to 1 with France
abstaining. Russia was alone in
opposing the British proposal to
take the Trieste governorship out
of the hands of the Big Four
powers and placing it on the coun
cil's agenda.
Soviet deputy foreign minister
Andrei A. Gromjrko objected
strenuously to the British propos
al. He contended the council could
net discuss the selection of a gov
ernor for the new international
ized territory until the Italian
peace treaty had been ratified by
all the big powers concerned.
British delegate Sir Alexander
Cadogan promptly challenged the
Soviet position. He said he was
unable to understand the basis for
Gromyko’s argument.
"There is no provision to bar
discussion," he said.
DRY CREEK APPROACH TO
AIR BASE CLOSED
The Dry Creek approach has
been closed to the Air Base due to
the dangerous condition of the
bridge which is being repaired by
the city. The Center Creek ap
proach to the cemetery has been
temporarily closed but will be re
opened today.
