Branded Effort To Cover Up Fate 0f lap Prisoners

By JOHN SCALI WASHINGTON, Feb. a _ ma» Russia's belated demand for trial of Emperor Htrohito as a war criminal was virtually rejected today by the United States in a

sharply-worded statement. An official State Department note turning down the formal Russian

cow within a few days.

In n preview of its attitude, the State Department today attacked the surprise Russian move on three counts:

i. The accusation is a smoke screen intended to cover up "Soviet failure to repatriate or otherwise explain the fate of over 370,000 Japanese prisoners. detained in Soviet-held terri- tory."

2. The Japanese Emperor ai- ready has been specifically ex- empted froni war crime trials, with Russian consent. in n de- cision taken by the Far East- ern Commission April 3. 1946.

3. Russia as a member of this 11-country policy-making tribunal knows it should bring up such a problem there if it wants the exemption given the Emperor changed.

“That the Soviet Government did not elect to do so but made these belated charges in a sen- sntionaiizerl manner raises obvious questions about the real motive bc- hind the Soviet note." Michael McDermott of thc State Depart- ment told a press conference.

Russia brought up the matter in a ZZ-page note handed by Ambass- ador Panyushkin to State Secre- tary Dean Acheson Wednesday.

The Russian note accused Emp- eror Hlrohito of responsibility for biological warfare against Rus- sian, Chinese, and Mongolian forces during the war. It asked that a special international court be created to try him and four other top-ranking Japanese generals it named as accomplices.

U.S. army officials in Japan have said they have been unable to discover any evidence whatever that the Japanese planned or used biological Warfare.

INDIANS BITILED

WHITEHORSE, Y.T., Feb. 3 _ (CP) —- Cold, baffling silence to- night reigncd over this majestic but. terrifying wilderness of snow, mountains. timber and frozen streams, hiding the fate of 44 per- sons aboard the missing United States transport plane.

For eight clays, as a continent anxiously awaited new develop- ments in the gigantic aerial search for the four-motored Skymaster. the spell of the Yukon has not been broken.

All available search resources were funelled into the area sur- rounding tbiis commercial metro. polls of the Yukon. where rail water, air and road transporta- tion converge. Canada and the United States concentrated on one purpose -— finding the transport ll’l time to save any possible sur- vivors.

Where it took months of plan- ning and preparation for Exercise Sweeibrlar, the joint Canadian- American military manoeuvre scheduled to get under way in this area Feb. i3, Operation Mike started in a matter of hoiirs. The greatest aerial search in Canadian aviation history. it. threatens to interfere with Swcetbriar in some respects. But scat-ch command- ers say the scarch will continiic as long as there is hope - Sweet- briar or no Swcctbriar.
