Tokyo -- Soldiers in Japan's new defense army participates in bayonet exercises, sans bayonets, at Nerima Infantry Camp on the outskirts of Tokyo. The Japanese GIs are dressed in U.S. Army style fatigues and are equipped with American made M-1 rifles.

Original Caption:
New York -- Herman Scholz, 50-year-old chauffeur, escorted by a member of the Queens District Attorney's staff as he was brought in for questioning in the Serge Rubinstein murder case. Police, who had trailed him for several days, charged that Scholz had been involved in a previous plot on the financier's life. Authorities said the chauffeur told them he possessed venetian blind cord, surgical tape and a number of weapons. Rubinstein was found bound with venetian blind cord and gagged with adhesive tape on the floor of his bedroom in his Fifth Avenue mansion January 27. He had been strangled. The investigation was made difficult by the fact that Rubinstein had many enemies. (1955)
