Large photographs of the IMTFE courtroom when it is empty. Caption states: "International Courtroom. Here are two views of the room where former Premier Tojo and other Japanese war leaders will be tried as war criminals. The room is in the War Ministry building in Tokyo, which once housed their offices. In the photograph at the left is shown the space for spectators, in the gallery, with the radio control and broadcasting booth at the top. The section under the gallery will be occupied by newspapermen. At the left will be the defendants, with military police and guards behind them, and defense counsel in front of them. The small tables in the center are for the chief defense counsel and chief prosecutor. Associate prosecutors and associate judges will be in the seats in the foreground. The judges will be on the raised platform at the right, with the presiding judge in the center, and the row of chairs in front of them are for court reporters. The picture at the right is taken from the spectators' gallery and shows the section, in the background, reserved for distinguished visitors and general officers. The defendants' section is at the right, the judges at the left. The large booth at the right will house movie cameras. (Signal Corps Photos).
