I BEYOND IMAGINATION: Yamashita War Crime Trial Reveals Brutal Jap Savagery By The Associated Press MANILA, Oct. 31-At least 800 men, women and children were butchered by Japanese in a dining-hall massacre baited with bonbons and assurances of safety for the victims, survivors of the slaughter testified today at the trial of Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita on war crime charges. It took place at St. Paul's College here Feb. 9, while American troops were battering their way into the Japanese-occupied city. "VETERANS CITY" GETS BEAUTY TREATMENT-Landscaping, now being undertaken in this housing region, will ultimately result in a neat residential street. Chianig's Efforts Toward Peace Termed Failure' (Continued from Page 1) strongly opposed to any change in their privileged position. The lot of the common people has improved very little since the beginning of the Chiang regime in 1927. "Nevertheless," Dr. Gale pointed out, "the problem of social change in a country like China, where the standard of living is incredibly low, the agrarian system backward and the economic opportunities so few is enormous. And the Chinese Com- munists occupy a frontier area with a relatively small population. The at- mosphere is free from the traditional corruption and privilege which taints Chiang Kai Shek's government. "The result has been that the foreign press has overeriticized the Nationalist government while Com- munist China has received far more praise than it deserves. One is particularly impressed with the fact that, the Chungking govern- ment is largely staffed with Ameri- can trained Chinese officials even on the highest levels. So far as we know, no positions of importance at the Communist capital of Yenan are occupied by western trained Chinese. "The Nationalists, governing by vir- tual dictatorship, effectively have barred other parties from the govern- ment for almost two decades. They have promised more popular partici- pation and consequent representation of opposition parties now that the war is ended. Whether this will be done remains to be seen. At least un- til they are adequately represented, the Communists may be expected to continue armed opposition." Dr. Gale stated that little Rus- sian influence has been focused on the Chinese Communists, but that crude forms of Marxian ideology are prevalent among the Commun- ists. Newspaper correspondents re- turning from Yenan report reduc- tion of taxes, suppression of usury, more equitable distribution of land and improvement of other evils at- tributed to the Chungking govern- ment. "Just how far Russia will move in advising the Communist party in China I don't know," he said. "And I don't think anyone else does. We'll just have to wait and see." "The position of the United States and Great Britain in regard to the Chinese situation," Dr. Gale pre- dicted, "doubtless will be somewhat tenuous. The reforming objectives of the Communist party are regarded with marked sympathy; it is obvious to us that the Chinese people them- selves would welcome any govern- ment pledged to improve their living conditions. Yet any program painted on a Communist banner is viewed with distaste by the western powers." A well known educator and political scientist, Dr. Gale has served on the Far Eastern faculties of the Univer- sities of California and Michigan. ISSUE UNSETTLED: Rate of Discharge is Key To Size of Veteran Enrollment Candy and Drinks Luisa Borohana, 30-year old Span- ish woman, testified that after the Japanese had crowded about 1,000 civilians into the college dining hal "they brought in candy and drinks and placed them in the center of the room." "I noticed huge black balls hang- ing from the center of theceiling," she raid. "I thought they were black- out ights." But when the crowd of children, women and men surged toward the tempting spread of sweatmeats and refreshments, she added, the black balls turned out to be bombs. They exploded killing or wounding many. And then the Japanese who had touched off the blast from outside the hall rushed back through the doors, tossing hand grenades into the panic- stricken throng and shooting surviv- ors who attempted to flee. Death at "Party" The witness estimated at least 800 men, women and children were killed before the "party" in the dining hall was over. Yamashita grew drowsy as other witnesses recounted details of the carnage, but he perked up suddenly and followed the interpreter closely when 13-year old Winfred Coloma took the stand and, in a schoolboy voice, told how his family met death. "I was eating candy," he said, "when the bombs exploded. I think I was thrown to *the floor. Then I saw my mother, two sisters and one of my brothers was dead. My other brother and I ran outside with the Japanese shooting at us and ma- chinegunning people in the street."

Bill of Rights to make it easier for veterans to go to school at government expense or get loans in buying homes, farms or busi- nesses was recommended today by a senate subcommittee. It proposed: 1. Extension until 10 years after the war the time in which veterans may apply for government-guaran- teed loans. Present law allows only five years after the war's official end. 2. Authorization for loans on farms or businesses to include not only the value of real estate but also supplies capital and inventory. 3. A 35-year period, instead of 20, for repayment of loans on farms. 4. Authorization for loans based on the "reasonable value" of the prop- erty. The present law reads "reason- able normal value." 5. Opening of the educational pro- gram to veteraps irrespective of age.
