JAP PEOPLE GUILTY
OF MURDER, SAYS
JUSTICE DOUGLAS
Washington, April 26. — Associate
Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas tonight held the Japanese
people equally responsible with their
leaders for the murder of some of
Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle’s fliers
and called on all Americans to real
ize that in fighting Japan they are not
fighting Tojo or Hirohito alone but a
state that is a mockery of decent hu
man government.
Speaking at a war bond rally
marking the first exhibition of Artist
Norman Rockwell’s painting* of the
fou| freedoms, he said the paintings
were based on the American Bill of
Rights. A summary of these Ameri
can ideals, he added, shows the deep
gulf between us and the forces that
assault them.
“The Tokyo raiding aviators who
left for war knew they might die,”
he said. “But these boys were not
killed. They were murdered. They
have left us with

The conscientious gardener will
not use “victory garden” fertilizer on
his lawn, flowers, trpes and shrubs.
Instead he will concoct fertilizer from
bone meal, manure and prepared
sewage sludge.
The lawn should be given attentio;
tp insure a thick sward. Rake,
lightly to remove old dead
sticks and stones. Fill in low
and cover with a light topdressing
of good compost. Feed it lightly with
a lawn fertilizer and reseed. Then
roll with a light roller. The purpose
of the rolling is to press the seed into
the soil and firm back the small grass
plants heaved out during the winter.
Heavy rblling is not advised because
it packs the earth and excludes air,
moisture and fertilizer.
