the documents which the Section will seek to introduce to substantiate its case against the accused Japanese militarists and diplomats. This first phases of the case will be presented by Justice Alan James Mansfield, Australian prosecutor, assisted by Mr. Solis Plorwitz, Pittsburgh attorney. Direction of the prosecution will be conducted by Mr. Williams, who was former special assistant to the U.S. Attorney General in the Los Angeles, Calif., office, and Frank S. Tavenner, former U.S. District Attorney for the Western district of Virginia. Following acceptance of the documents into evidence. Justice Mansfield and Mr. Horwitz will present maps and charts to the Tribunal, in an effort to trace stages of Japanese expansion from 1931 to 1945, Mr. Williams said. These maps will be used by the prosecution as the case progresses to illustrate its contention that the Japanese Government moved through its Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere machinery in an attempt at ultimate world domination, Mr. Williams said. After the documents and charts are presented to the Tribunal, Brigadier Henry Gratton Nolan, assistant Prosecutor from Canada, will begin the prosecution's case, outlining the constitution and the govern- mental set-up of the Japanese Government, in an effort to illustrate the relationship of various government departments to each other and of each of the defendants to these departments and the entire Governmental scheme. It is expected, Mr. Williams said, that Brigadier Nolan's summat- ion will take several hours. (Note to correspondents: Copies of Brigadier Nolan's speech will be distributed to correspondents at the Tribunal when he begins his remarks.) In subsequent days of the trial, Mr. Williams said, the case will be broken down into various phases, referred to in the indictment. Each subject is in charge of a group of lawyers from the Prosecution and one attorney from each group will make a "succinct, factual statement," of what he expects to prove in the presentation of his subject.
