Court tells state to compensate ''war orphans''
KOBE, Japan - A group of war-displaced Japanese arrives at the Kobe District Court on Dec. 1 to attend a court session on their lawsuit. The court later ordered the government to pay about 460 million yen in compensation to 61 of 65 ''war orphans.'' The plaintiffs demanded 33 million yen each for the state's failure to take swift action to repatriate them from China after World War II and to adequately help them become self-reliant after repatriation.
