Korean Wounds Tojo
WASHINGTON, August 13.
The Associated Press states that Kilsoo Haan, Washington representative of the Sino-Korean People’s League, said he had received a report from the Orient, which he believed to be true, that a young Korean patriot shot and slightly wounded the Japanese Prime Minister (General Tojo) on June 17.
Haan said that in the ensuing excitement gendarmes opened fire, killing Major Yuzo Fujita, a prominent-army aviator, after which the Japanese rounded up 92 young Koreans in Tokio. Their fate is unknown.
