WAR DELAY IN

CRIMES TRIALS

Sydney, Dec. 19.-A United States threat to release 90 Japanese alleged war criminals because of Australia's delay in trying them caused an out- cry here today for speedy action.

Newspapers headlined the news and com- mented on the delay in editorials. The public view echoes press reaction in demanding prompt trial and an early decision.

A government spokesman, however, said in Canberra:
