Colonel Tamura Tellchi admitted, under cross- examination before No. 5 War Crimes Court yesterday, that he gave orders for the body of Sub-Lieut. Fred Hockley to be exhumed and cremated because he wished to remove all avidence of the killing and also because It was feared that as the grave in which Hockley had been burled was too shallow, wild animals might get at the body.

Tamura also admitted, in answer to a question:

put to him by the President of the Court, that Allied airmen were "not popular" with_Japan-| ese Army personnel, who had heard of the] damage done at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Colonel Tamura Telichi, a report of the execution to Divi. Major Hirano Nobaro and Capstan in Aug. 1945.
