U S Fights Jap Case In High Court
The United States argued before the Supreme Court that General Douglas MacArthur need not obey a U S order for release of Japanese wartime officials convicted of war crimes. Solicitor General Philip B Perlman said MacArthur as Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers must follow the Inter Allied Commission and its orders. Justices questioned whether American courts could compel releases, while the tribunal's legality and the fate of Tojo and six others loom, affecting 16 additional defendants.
