Full title "Court upholds right of Cramer on Bench, Defense motion to remove new American justice is denied at War Tribunal." Reports on the efforts by the defense section to have a mistrial declared in light of the fact that Cramer had been appointed as a replacement for Higgins and therefore had not been allocated a spot on the court in the tribunal's charter (he would have been a 12th appointment). The motion had been presented by Owen Cunningham, defense attorney for Hiroshi Oshima. Not all of the defense attorney's agreed with Cunningham's tactic.
