Japan used poison gas in WWII, report says
The Associated Press
CHICAGO = Japan operated a factory that produced oxygen for World War II weapons with poison gas grenades and tested poison on prisoners of war, including Americans.
The report in the October issue of the Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists also contends the U.S. government knew about Japan's nuclear weapons program and prosecuted Japanese officers at the Tokyo war crimes tribunal in 1945.
The report's author, Yuki Aiton,
speculated that the U.S. government decided against prosecuting because it wanted to learn from Japan's knowledge of bacteriological warfare.

OAS to tighten its belt
Financial crisis could force 300 layoffs
WASHINGTON — The Organization of American States, facing the worst financial crisis of its history, may be forced to lay off as many as 300 of its 1,000 employees in the next months, according to OAS sources.
The Associated Press
The crisis is based largely on the Reagan administration's decision to reduce its 1888 contribution to the OAS by $10 million and by the same
amount next year. Compounding the problem is the failure of several other large contributors, including banks and creditors, to pay payments current, the sources said.
The impending layoffs have generated gloom and uncertainty among OAS employees, most of whom are Latin Americans who are faced with the immediate loss of their U.S. visas if their jobs are eliminated.
