taking charge of the area around

aside and approved the recom-

In the interim, however, tut
unions and railroads had signed
an agreement for an eight-cent
increase. Vinson refused to ap-
prove it, but the unions contend-
ed it was vaild under the rail-

proval. The Truman resolution
would validate the agreement.

WITH THE CHINESE ARMY
ON THE TUNG TING LAKE
FRONT, Dec. 12. 0U*>—A Jap-
anese prisoner of war told me to-
day there is a general feeling
among Japanese troops that war
between Russia and Japan is im-
minent.
Corp. Mskausu * Funabashi, 25,
of the 70th regiment, 34th divis-
ion, a former Osaka farmer, as-
serted that Japan completed war
preparation in Manchuri some
time ago and now is continuous-
ly reinforcing her troops there.
Funabashi,said Manchuria now
is the most heavily militarized
area in the Far East, nd poten-
tially is the new war front of
Asia. >
Fresh Japanese, troops, the
prisoner said, have been flowing
toward Manchuria during- the
past year and important* air
force, motorized and armament
units continue to arrive there.
He believed Manchuria is the
Far East's number one Japanese
stronghold.
Asked how he, a corpora), knew
these things, Funabashi replied
that many rank and file relatives
of Japanese troops in China are
now- in Manchuria so that the
conclusions he expressed were
“common sense" to ail Japanese
soldiers of his acquaintance.
Belief that war will break out
soon between Japan and Russia
somewhere in Manchuria or Mon-
golia is a “general feeling," Fun-
abashi said.
Japan morale was ."fir" dur-
ing the period of garrison duty,
he said, Nut when there is fight-
ing to be done morale is "low”
because “naturally, we don’t like
to fight."
“We don’t know what we are
here to fight. We don’t know
where we win or lose, or whe-
ther we win or lose,” he explain-
ed.
pleaded guilty before „ ---------
military cour t today to complicity
in the mass murder of thousands
of Soviet civilians and war pri-
soners during the Nazi occupation
of Kharkov.
The’defendants, all facing death
sentences, threw themselves on the
mercy of the court on the second
day of their trial — the ti fat

Some 150 miles northeast of
Cberkasi, the Red army regained
the initiative at least temporarily
in the Kiev bulge yesterday after
abandoning the important road
junction of Radomisl, 43 miles
west of Kiev, and falling back
across the Teterev river.
The Germans had sought ta
widen and deepen their wedge fa
the Soviet lines at Radomisl by
attacking repeatedly with 6,0dp
infantrymen and 100 tanks, but
everywhere were thrown hack.
Before the enemy had a chance
to regroup his forces, the Soviets
counter-attacked and ousted the
German* from several villages.
