Tomo yuki Yamashita, who was hanged in the Philippines for war crimes, contends the Japanese commander “did not have a fair trial.” Frank Reel, former Army cap tain for Yamashita’s defense, gave his version of the trial In a 248 page book, “The Case of General Yamashita,” published by the University of Chicago Press. Mr. Reel termed the hanging of the “Tiger of Malaya” for atroci ties perpetrated by soldiers under his command “judicial lynching— stark retribution masquerading in a cloak of false legalism.” The Japanese general was held responsible for the atrocities under the “principle of command responsibility,” Mr, Reel says. "For the first time in the history of the modern world, a command ing officer has been held crimin ally liable for acts committed by his troops,” the book says. “It is the first time in modern history that any man has been held criminally libal for acts which according to the conclusion of the commission judging him do not involve criminal intent or even gross negligence. The commis sion, by its finding, created a new crime.” Bolivia Reports Capture Of Fleeing Rightist Rebels By th« Associated Press LA PAZ, Bolivia.
