LE MAT WASHINGTON. Sept. 15 (K) Rrig. Gen.

Elliott Roosevelfi own story of the financial dealings that brought him and some of his backers under Congressional scrutiny was pieced together tonight for the first time. The account related that the late President's second son: 1. Borrowed more than $600,000 to finance a Texas radio network. 2. Was referred by his late uncle, Hall Roosevelt to John Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, from whom he borrowed $200,000.

3. Never got any help from his father in arranging the loans beyond assurance to a lender that Elliott was independent in business and a 'loan would not embarrass the President. 4. Got from the elder Roosevelt a suggestion that he seek settlement advice from Jesse Jones, then Secretary of Commerce. 5.

Didn't know until he read it in the newspapers that Jones had settled the Hartford loan for $4,000, though Elliott's attorney tried to find out what Jones had done. CHEST CAMPAIGN LEAI'CKS-Otto R.

DURING BLOW Florida Areas Raked By Hurricane During Night MIAMI, Sept 15 WV-More than 200 persons were reported in jured tonight in a fire at the Richmond Navy blimp base as a violent tropical hurricane that reach ed a peak velocity of 143 M. P. H. swept inland from across the Florida keys. Hurricane warnings were ordered hoisted over all of peninsula Florida, 50,000 persons were driven to seek emergency shelter in South Florida alone, and at least one death was reported.

Flames whipped by the great winds threatened to destroy the giant Navy blimp hangars at Richmond, 30 miles from Miami, which were described by the Navy as the world's largest single-arch wooden constructed hangars. The Navy said no deaths resulting from the blaze had been reported up to 11:15 P. M. (EWT), but all available ambulances, doctors and medical personnel were being rushed through the storm to the base. Navy Men To Scene Three hundred enlisted men from Opalocka naval air station, Miami, were dispatched to help combat the flames.

The cause of the fire was not immediately determined. Another fire sprang up on the, Northwest fringe of downtown Miami, destroying a furniture fac" tory'i and a tile-manufacturinif plant and casting a great red glow up against the rain-whipped skies. Relief workers went into the Florida keys as the core of the storm raged over the Everglades in a curving Northward movement. Hundreds of homes were reported damaged in the keys, where the hurricane reached an officially recorded velocity of 143 M. P.

H. at Carysport light, 40 miles South of Miami. Winds of 99 M. P. H.

roared over Miami itself but damage was held to a minimum by the tightly boarded up city. Planes Endangered An unconfirmed report said worth of Navy and private planes, shifted from the Miami area to the hurricane-proof Richmond blimp base, were endangered by the fire there. Full hurricane warnings were displayed from Palm Beach around the Southern Florida coast to Tam- pa and storm warnings were ordered up along the East coast to Fernandina. near the Georgia state line, and St Marks on the West coast South of Tallahassee. The powerful winds roared through Miami and Miami Beach, smashing plate glass, carrying away colorful beach cabanas, lifting roofs off a few buildings, overturning automobiles and flooding deserted Collins Avenue, along the ocean front.

Grave fears that South Florida's multo-million dollar grapefruit, orange, lime and avocado crops would be destroyed were expressed. Many fruit trees were uprooted. A number of Miami's street were blocked by fallen trees. The police department halted all traffic over the three causeways connecting Miami and Miami Beach to prevent motorists trosf being blown into Biscayce bay; During the great Miami hurricane of 1926 when 327 persons died anf 6,327 were injured, many of the dead were lost by venturing out on the causeways as the storm center passed giving a treacherous lull.

All but a few of the top sabre-rattling militarists cn his wanted list of suspected war criminals were in custody.

Those detained included Lt. Gen. Masaharu Hom-ma, held accountable for Bataan's terrible "death march." Jose Laurel, puppet president of the Philippines, his son and Benig-no Aquino, head of the puppet Filipino assembly, were arrested by U. S. Army authorities at the health resort of Nara near Osaka and taken to Yokohama.

Domei in a homeland broadcast said a committee of the Japanese house of representatives had taken over "political investigation" activities of the rightist, militarist "Great Japan Political Society," which was disbanded Friday. On the committee, however, was speaker Toshio Shimada, him-helf a member of that totalitarian society, the only political party in war-time Japan. The Moscow radio Saturday called it a mask for the Black Dragon Society of terrorists. iWbilft the Domei broadcast was for home consumption, it was heard in San Francisco by the Federal Communications commission. The -Japanese frequently use for home broadcasts transmitters so powerful that they can be heard in the United States.) Centers Marked Meanwhile, most strategic centers of all four home islands were marked for occupation by October in a stepped-up schedule testifying to the smooth spread of U.

S. military power across the fallen nation. Mr.cArthur showed the Japanese the steel list in his policy of ce-cupation yesterday when the nation's news leaders were assembled to be told that 100 percent censorship was effective at once. "General MacArthur desires it to be- understood that the Allied powers do not regard Japan as an equal in any way," Col Donald Hoover, chief of censorship, told the Japanese newsmen. "The tone of the colored news you have been presenting to the public gives the impression that the supreme commander has been negotiating with the Japanese government.

"There are no negotiations The supreme commander will dictate orders to the Japanese government. He will not negotiate with it." The Japanese were informed they had demonstrated they could not be entrusted with "the latitude" provided under the first, benign censorship MacArthur imposed and that therefore "a more severe censorship" had been decreed. Donci Suspended "Domei was suspended yesterday at 5:29 P. M. for the dissemination of news disturbing to the public tranquility," Hoover continued.

"Any other media which violates the directive will be similarly suspended." Domei went back into operation but with censors at its elbow and with its operations limited strictly to Japan. Censors will move into all Japanese newspaper offices and radio stations in Tokyo and Yokohama. The Japanese still were entrusted with the main burden of rounding up the men MacArthur wants for questioning, but the Americans may take over if at least three high on the list are not quickly produced. They are Shigenori Togo, foreign minister at the time of Pearl Harbor; Taketora Ogata, named as a Black Drascn terrorist who holds ministerial rank as secretary of the present cabinet, and Vice Adm. Ken Terashima, "Pearl Harbor" cabinet inmister of communications.

The Japanese yesterday turned over a batch of smaller fry, including Dr. Tokuda, suspected of performing experiments on Allied prisoners of war that caused some to die. But the biggest fish walked in unassisted and gave themselves up to the Japanese police at Yokohama. They were the six-foof, bulking Homma and Lt. Gen.

Shigenori Kurodaj who succeeded him as commander in the Philippines. Both were high on MacArthur's list GIJNTERSVILLE WIN'S. BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 15 UP) The Guntersville float won the first prize of $100 iii a shrine "Vic tory Parade" here today. Some ouu North Alabanuans took part in in festivities.

-V By RAY CRON'IN Associated Press Staff Writer General MacArthur cracked down on Japanese newspapers and the agency Domei today and simultaneously stepped-up his schedule for occupation of other parts of the Nippon homeland. The Allied supreme commander clamped on a tight news censorship and told the Japanese through his censorship chief he wanted it understood "that the Allied powers do not regard Japan as an equal in any way." Japan, he added, is "a defeated enemy which has not yet demonstrated a right to a place among civilized nations." MacArthur made it clear that he has not been negotiating with the Japanese government. "There are no negotiations" he said. "The supreme commander will dictate to the Tapanese government." Domei was suspended "for dissemination of news disturbing to the public tranquility." It resumed service under the eyes of American censors. Bag Increased Meanwhile the bag of Suspected war criminals increased.

Lt. Gen. Massaharu Homma, whose troops staged the infamous Bataan death marcn in we rniuppines, surrena- red 4nself for questioning. Lt. also surrendered "the Nip pon police.

(Homma and Kuroda surrendered to.U. S. Army, authorities at a Japanese jail and were locked up in the Yank prison at Yokohama. Homma, who once refused to see General Wainwright because of what he termed the American officer's "inferior" rank, was taken in by a party of Americans headed by a second lieutenant Homma denied he ordered the death and said "I don't think it was such a tough march," he added he was ready to "take full responsibility" for the acts of his subordinates. Homma, who received the surrender of General Wainwright, hero of Corregidor, disclosed that the brave band of Americans and Filipinos who defended that fortress to the bitter end almost had him licked.

He said defense of the island was so vigorous that he was on the verge of admitting Japanese failure when the Yanks hoisted the white flag. Others In Custody Others already in custody included Col. Kingoro Hashimoto, who ordered the bombing of the gunboat Panay in the Yangtze in 1937; Yoshitaka Ueda, secret leader of the imperialistic geo-political bureau: Lt. Gen Teiichi Suzuki, minister without portfolio in the Pearl Harbor attack cabinet of Premier Hideki Tojo; Okinori Kaya, finance minister; Michiyo justice minister, and Sekiya Ino, agricultural and overseas minister, all members of To-jo's cabinet, and Shozu Murata, former Japanese ambassador to the puppet Philippine government. American troops arrested Jose Laurel, Philippine puppet resident, his son, Jose 3rd, and Benigno Aquino, chief of the Philippine puppet assembly.

MacArthur headquarters disclosed that 13 additional American divisions, totaling some 175,000 men, will join his occupation armies within Japan late this month or in October. Before the end of the current month the Yanks are sche- (ContinatS r-w a Tm States.

Largest Number Of Entries Certain For Event The largest number of dairy and beef cattle ever to show in North Alabama have already been assured for the Tennessee Valley Livestock and Seed Show to be held at the Home Oil Mills grounds in icatur, Friday, September 28, according to advance information received by B. G.

Hall and C. M. Scales chairmen of the -show committee of the agricultural committee of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce. From seven counties of the North Alabama area entries have already been assured in dairy and beef divisions and the two remaining counties have found considerable interest' being manifest by 1 3th large and small cattle producers, boys 4-H and FFA clubs and individuals. Interest on the part of the public shows that stock men and dairy fanciers from all Alabama and from many outside sections will be present and buyers from large packing houses and independent packers will be present.

Other Shows Visited During the past week representatives of the Tennessee Valley Show have attended fairs at both Huntsville and Florence where they have contacted exhibitors who have been showing cattle in these shows. Interest has been found to center largely in the fact that both registered animals and grade cattle have been given a place in the program of the local show: In addition arrangement of the program so that the small farm, er, with five or less head of cattle, will not be forced to show against the professional showman and those who have large herds from which to draw their entries has proved attractive. In the dairy line Earl Glenn, chairman, reports more interest than he has, ever known in a Decatur show. From Morgan, Lawrence, Limestone. Madison, Colbert, Lauderdale, Cullman, Marshall and other counties county agents have assured Mr.

Glenn that they will have a good display of animals, more than 00 individual animals having already been assured. He also reports that while Jerseys lead in advanced reservations. Guernseys and grade animals are also in the list.

CORNELL WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 m-Congress talked today of getting tough about service discharges and the draft and of extending its Pearl Harbor investigation to the Philippines. General Douglas MacArthur "may" be asked to tell why America took a drubbing in the Philippines at the start of the war. And a lot of legislators still aren't convinced the Army is doing all it can, and as fast as it can, to let men out. They may do something about it.

Congressmen also had their say on: 1. Whether Elliott Roosevelt, son of the late President, is "broke." 2. Pay for people out of work. Senate and house took Saturday off. So there was more talk than action.

Republicans Act But house republicans, counting on some democratic help, got set to pry out of the military committee, and onto the house floor for a vote, a bill to: Stop the draft right now. Let out of the Army on request anyone who has been a war prisoner or spent two years in uniform. It isn't certain that the senate-house committee which will look into the success of Japan's stab at Pearl Harbor also will expand its inquiry Westward into the Philippines. But Senator Brewster a member, says it may. Democrats have hinted at such a move.

If the committee takes that course, Brewster wants MacArthur to have a chance to tell what happened. Senate republicans did their talking chiefly in a party conference on such things as unemployment pay. and jobs for everybody. They took no formal stand. House ways and means committee members concluded that Elliott Roosevelt is broke.

They've been leafing through his own statement on his financial deals. Capitol Chaff In congressional corridors and offices: Senator George (D-Ga.) said there won't be any jobless pay legislation if the senate puts back into a compromise bill a provision to pay up to $25 a week for 26 weeks. The house won't approve George declared. But some senators are going to fight to get the provision back in, when the bill comes up for debate on the floor Tuesday. The finance committee George is chairman sliced it out As the bill stands now it would let the federal government give states enough money to continue their present varying rates of payment to the jobless for a maximum of 26 weeks.

No $25 weekly unless that the state rate. BIG JOB DONE MOBILE. Ala, Sept. 15 The Mobile district office of the U. S.
