TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR-NO. 232 RM1NELANDER, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1945 8 PAGES TODAY PRICE FIVE CENTS Secret Army Report Reveoled Navy Halted Wire Tapping Five Days Before War, Charge By JACK BELL WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 gressional investigators learned day the Navy stopped tapping Japanese consulate telephones in Honolulu five days before war began, partly because an officer was "incensed" with FBI actions. This disclosure was made in a report by Lt. Col.

Henry C. Clausen, special investigator for Former Secretary of War Stimson. It was given to members of a Senate-House in- vestigating the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor pec. 7, 1941. Clausen was shown to have obtained on April 22, 1941, an affidavit from Lt.

Donald Woodrun, who served in the naval intelligence division at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack. Woodrun said in his statement that Rear Admiral (then captain) Mayfield, naval district intelligence officer, had ordered surveillance of the Japanese consul's telephones stopped on Dec. 2, 1941, and that A this order was effective u'ntil after the attack. Testimony has shown that the FBI had one line tapped and through this line learned before the attack that consulate officials were burning all their papers. gnew War Was Inevitable.

The development came in the quiry after the committee heard that he was convinced as early as August, 1941, that war in the Pacific was inevitable and knew the U. S. was not ready for it 9 Marshall began his sixth day of testimony after Senate-House committee learned of a Navy officer's purported prediction to Secretary Knox Dec. 7, 1941, that an intercepted Tokyo message meant "a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor today and possibly a midnight attack on Manila." A hitherto "top secret" report of an Army inquiry board said another naval officer quoted Capt. Alvin D.

Kramer as having said in 1943 that i he sent a notation to this effect to Knox It went with the Tokyo message insti i envoys here to deliver their diplomatic reply at 1 p. m. (Washington Time) Dec. 7. There was no indication in the report when Knox received this notation, if he received it at all.

Marshall was questioned by Rep. Keefe (R-Wis), who traced the events of the summer of 1941. Concentrating- on Philippines'. Keefe said that war tension was growing then and Marshall agreed. "You were convinced as early as August that if the current continued we would inevitably be drawn into a war with Japan, weren't you Keefe asked.

"Yes, sir," Marshall replied. "You knew at that time that we weren't prepared for a war in the Pacific?" Marshall replied that was true, adding that he was being pushed from all sides for additional men and equipment, but Was concentrat- tt ing on attempts to build up Philip- pine defenses as a possible deterrent to a Japanese move to the south. Other points in the previously secret report received by the committee included: 1. A conclusion by Maj. Gen.

Myron Cramer, Army judge advocate general, on. Sept. 14, 1945, that the War Department never had received any notice that the Japanese had broadcast a "winds" message w.arn- ing their consuls of a break in Amer- 9 lean relations; 2. General Cramer's further notation that Navy witnesses appearing before Rear Adm. H.

Kent Hewitt "denied the receipt of any authentic 'winds' message." 3. A declaration by Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short that he probably would have ordered a full alert in Hawaii had he received before the attack the message Marshall sent to him Dec.

7. Short was the Army commander at Pearl Harbor in 1941. Baby Rescued from Fire MADISON, Dec. 12 70-year-old woman who hasn't walked in 38 years, and a one-year- old baby girl were rescued from a fire which swept through two floors of a three-story flat building to day.

Patton, "remains good," an official bulletin said tonight. Mrs. Patton, after seeing her husband again today, said she was the least worried." The general's neck was broken in an automobile accident Sunday. An optimistic' indication came from the, departure of three topflight surgical consultants from Mrs. Patton released this statement through U.

S. Seventh Army i headquarters: am -very happy to be here with my husband. Now that I have seen and talked with him, I am not the least worried, He looks very well. His care here at Seventh Army Hospital has been of the finest and I thank everybody from the bottom of my heart." The latest medical bulletin was the first to use the word "good" in describing Patton's condition. A bulletin said he had spent "good night," but that his condition: "remains grave." -bulletin -said "Temperature 100.

Pulse 66. Respiration 24. General condition remains good. No significant, changes since morning." A feeling of optimism was detected among those well acquainted with the case, though strict regulations required all information to pass through U. S.

Army headquarters in Frankfurt. Trie consultants who left today were Brig. Hugh Cams and Lieut. Col. Gilbert E.

Phillips, both British, and Maj. Gen. A. W. Kenner, chief U.

S. Army surgeon in Europe. An earlier announcement said the colorful general was fully conscious, rational and nourishment, and that he showed "normally active" tendon reflexes. Nurses attending Patton described him as "one of their best patients" and said he was accepting his paralyzed condition like a "true soldier." One of the nurses, Lieut. Bertha Hohle of Grygla, said his "sleeping was confused but he is rational when awake." "He doesn't swear like I have heard he does," she said.

"He tells me not to worry about him go away, but I have to be there because he never wants to eat or drink. He said he will not unless he gets a shot of whiskey." Doctors reported however, that there were no signs of improvement in the paralytic condition today. It was the first time Patton's condition had been referred to as a previous bulletin using the word "critical." Mrs. Patton spent about 10 minutes with her husband at the hospital this morning and emerged with a smile on her facer but said nothing to newsmen. It was reported that two British specialists called in as consultants in the case were preparing to depart.

A "no visitors" sign was hung on Pattorj's hospital door yesterday after his young day nurse, Margery Rundell, of Ashland, protested that the room was "like the Grand Central Station." 40 Convicted for Dachau Atrocities DACHAU, Germany, Dec, 12 40 defendants in the Dachau atrocity trial were convicted by a U. S. military government court today of participation in the cruelties which made this one of the Nazis' most notorious concentration camps. The eight-officer court, headed by Brig. Gen.

John M. Lentz, an-; nounced that sentences would be passed tomorrow morning. The court deliberated for 90 minutes after the 24 day-trial. The camp commander, Martin Weiss, five camp doctors and three prisoners who became functionaries under the S. S.

It has been estimated that at least 5,000 Jews were killed in the Landsberg section of, the Dachau camp, in which there were 32,000 tortured, emaciated men and 350 women when U. S. troops of the 42nd and 45th Divisions overran the place April 30. More Than Four Million Enslaved In Nazi Manhunt By WES GALLAGHER NURNBERG, Dec.

12 More than 4,000,000 confluered laborers were forced into virtual slavery in Germany by murder, starvation, arson and kidnaping, American prose cutors disclosed today at the wtsr crimes trial of 21 Nazi Wftr leaders. The carefullyplanned slave system to provide workers for German war plants and farms was described as a "wild and ruthless manhunt carried on everywhere" in a Nazi labor commissioner's own words presented as evidence before the international military tribunal. Pressing the charges djf "crimes against humanity" against Adolf Hitler's top aides, Assistant U. S. Prosecutor Thomas J.

Dodd disclosed by the Germans' own records that more than 4,000,000 men, women and children of 14 different nationalities had been shipped to the reich like cattle to bolster the Nazi war machine by January, 1945. Nazis Uneasy. Although Prosecutor Dodd limited his estimate of slave laborers to "more than 4,000,000" an unofficial tabulation drafted from Nazi and Allied court records placed the total of foreign workers at 6,691,000 by January, 1945. As details of the Nazi slave labor system were unfolded before the court, even the accused Hitlerites stirred uneasily and some pulled away in their seats from the trio named by Dodd as chiefly Fritz Sauckel, SS general and reich labor commissioner; suave Alfred Rosenberg, official Nazi philosopher and administrator of the occupied Ukraine; and Albert Speer, reich munitions minister. One report taken from Rosenberg's files revealed that babies born on slave trains were thrown from the windows.

At Hitler's Order. Speer sat with his face in his hands as Prosecutor Dodd declared that "force and brutality as a method of production found a ready adherent in the Defendant Speer." Hitler ordered forced labor for 2,000,000 Russian and Poles in October, 1942, and art additional 1,000,000 in March, 1943, the evidence disclosed. Writing to Rosenberg on March 18, 1943, Sauckel the shipment of cantive laborers to be speeded up to 10,000 a day. Sauckel's own representative in the Ukraine warned that "the wild and ruthless manhunt carried- on in streets, squares, stations, even in churches and at night in badly shaken the feeling of security 3 very comment, sent to Hans Frank, Nazi governor of Poland, was filed with the court.

Hoyt made public a copy of a complaint which he submitted to the governor as an elector of the Third Ward, Fourth Congresi'onal District. Hoyt charged that since May 4, 1944, Coleman, C. L.

G. C. Town, Mrs. Lillian Crandall and. William Tucker "have illegally represented themselves as of the Republican Party of sin." He the group "only a rump committee of indiv.vf-, uals without any power to sign for? the Republican Party of Wisconsin? that it is not properly constituted inl accordance with the constitution that voluntary organization, and its' officers have no right to collect disburse funds in the name of Republican Party of Wisconsin."

Hoyt pointed out that the party' constitution adopted at La Crosse in 1940 called-ifor an executive mitten consisting of the "officers of the State Republican Committee and two members from each al district of Wisconsin, one of whojW, shall be a woman." Hoyt charged that the State Republican Committee had never been; set up as provided by the constitu-; tion "has never held a meeting, and has no officers to complete the 'state 1 executive committee' and make if legal.

"The State Republican Committee, which has never been activated," Hoyt's communication to the governor continued, "would comprise about 500 rank and file Republicans, representing a true cross section oC the state, and yet its right to a inant place on the state executive committee through its officers, been deliberately violated, thereby permitting a small Coleman controlled rump committee to illegally run the Republican Party of consin as they see fit."

"Through the operations of this closely knit, illegal committee machine," Hoyt's letter concluded, "it has been almost impossible to crack the bottle necks leading to the rules and resolutions committees of state conventions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 President Truman today asked that dwellings toe placed under price control and directed re-instatement of the priority system on building materials. His action contemplated special preference to veterans in need of housing. At the same time, Mr. Truman announced appointment of Wilson W.

Wyatt, former mayor of Louisville, to be special housing expeditor under the Office of Wai- Mobilization and reconversion. When the housing matter came up at his weekly news conference, Mr. Truman said in response to questions that the administration planned to invoke price ceilings on old and new housing under the still operative War Powers Act, pending enactment of specific legislation on the subject. After the conference, however, the White House issued a statement asserting the President's explanation was made under a misapprehension. President Errs in Explanation.

Legislation is necessary to fix price ceilings, the White House statement said. "Legislation is not necessary for the establishment of'priorities on building materials," it added, "and then priorities are being set up under the war powers act without legislation." The President had been asked whether legislation would be necessary on price ceilings. He replied no, because this is under the War Powers Act. "The President in answering the question was under the impression to priorities rather than price ceilings," the-White House stated. The President's action was taken in approving a recommendation by Reconversion Director John W.

Snyder. The program calls for ceiling prices "on old and new housing." Mr. Truman said the Office of Price Administration "is now placing local dollar-and-cents ceilings on the construction materials themselves and many services." Calls for Release of Surplus.

Homma, one of Yamashita's predecessors as Japanese commander of the Philippines, smiled and waved as he was taken to Atsugi airfield. Taken with him were Col.

STEELWORKERS DETAIL PLANS FOR STRIKE PITTSBURGH, Dec.

12 (ff) A spokesman for the ClO-United Steelworkers of America said detailed plans for the scheduled Jan 14 strike of 700,000 steel, aluminum and iron ore workers were being made at a meeting of the USWA executive board today. Strike captains were being appointed and other procedure of the union's proposed walkout in support of its $2 a day, wage demand was being worked out, the spokesman said. At a press conference, Philip Murray, president of both the CIO and the United Steelworkers, flatly denied assertions of the American Iron and Steel Institute that there would be no strike "if the CIO abides by its pledged word, given only last spring." Murray declared the strike in no way violates the contract which the Steelworkers signed with the steel companies "in either their legal or their moral aspects." He said a formal statement would be issued setting forth fully the union's position on this point. The strike date was set yesterday by the USWA's 175-man wage policy committee, under the an- thorization of a 5-to-l vote taken by some 650,000 Steelworkers two weeks ago, The NLRB-at announced a total of 500,434 ballots were cast in the Steelworkers' strike poll, with 411,401 for and 83,859 against.
