Documents before the International Military Tribunal showed that the Munich which the Czech Sudentenland was handed over to the Nazis- was signed only two days before the date set by the German High Command for four armies and the air force to'be prepared for a blitz invasion of Czechoslovakia. The German Air Force also expected France to join the fight and had prepared detailed plans for attack in the West, the evidence introduced by prosecutors made Detailed plans for the invasion and an agreement that-Hungary would join in the attack left little doubt at the.trial that the cold- blooded invasion would have been carried out if England and France had not signed the Munich pact; Plans "for'-the bombing.

Another top-secret Hitler directive added to the mounting pile of evidence disclosed that the Fuehrer said on May '30, 1938 four months before the Munich pact and 1 a year before the Germans goose-stepped into Prague that "it is my unalterable decision to smash Czechoslovakia by military action in the near future."

Miles said Monday that the reply Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short made from Hawaii on Nov. 28, 1941, to a war warning message from Washington was "totally inadequate." Miles-testified before the Senate-House group investigating Pearl Harbor.

Thursday the committee is to hear General of the Army George C. Marshall who sent the warning message. Evidence was cited by Representative Clark (D-NG) that on November 27 Marshall warned Short that "hostile action is possible at any'moment" and to take reconnaissance and such other measures "as you deem necessary." Filed as a reply was word from Short to Marshall the next day that the Hawaiian Department was "alerted to prevent sabotage." "Was that in any way responsive?" asked Clark. Miles, who was head of Army Intelligence at the time of Pearl Harbor, demurred. He said he would like that question to be directed to officers who saw the reply.

But Clark persisted, saying he wanted Miles' opinion as a military man of long experience. "Very well, sir," replied Miles. "My opinion is. that that message was a totally inadequate reply to the message it purported to reply to." Miles previously testified he considered Gen. George C.

Marshall's Nov. 27, 194'1, message "sufficient warning to cause the necessary and proper alert to be put into effect" to meet the Japanese Pearl Harbor Clark noted that', messages similar to the one sent to Hawaii were dispatched at the same time to other overseas stations. He directed to a reply from Gen. Douglas A. MacArthur in the Philippines that reconnaissance had i been extended and ground forces 7 put in a state of readiness Representative Cooper (D- Tenn) asked 1 specifically if Miles thought' the Marshall message was "sufficient to cause the necessary and prppert alert to be put into effect'.

Truman Sets Up Boards to Deal With GM Strike WASHINGTON President Truman Monday set up fact-finding boards to deal with the General Motors strike and threatened steel walkout, and asked Congress for permanent machinery- to handle labor, disputes in "important nationwide industries." The President appealed publicly. for 225,000 ClO-United Automobile Workers to return to their iobs 1 in the big General Motors Corporation and urged the approximate 700,000 who might be involved in a steel strike to remain at work. Mr.

Truman acted in a special fast on the heels of the labor management conference which could not agree on a fact- finding recommendation. He proposed: A law for setting up machinery for naming fact-finding boards to prevent work stoppages in important, nationwide labor disputes. A ban on strikes or lockouts for at least 30 five after certification of a dispute by the Secretary of Labor, 20 for the fact- finding board to deliberate, and five more. The President cited such, widespread industries as steel, automobile, aviation, mining, oil, utilities and communications, as those to which the act should apply. This list, however, was not conclusive, although Mr.

Truman said the legislation should not cover small' and local labor troubles. While neither labor nor management would be legally bound to follow the recommendations of HOUSING OFFICE ASKED SET UP WASHINGTON that ''unscrupulous spectators are piling profit on profit at the expense of the home seekers," Representative Patman advocated Monday creation of a federal housing stabilization office to deal with what he termed The Texan said 2,870,000 veterans require immediate housing and' said the current treatment of returning servicemen seeking shelter "should be a source of shame and disgrace to this na- Patman -appeared before the House Banking Committee, of which he is a member, as the first witness supporting his bill which would: 1, Give first priority to returning veterans on, every apartment and home that can be made available or built.

Any caught making an 'excessive profit, over and above that enjoyed by the industry in 1941," would be liable to suit for damages from the purchaser for three times the amount of the excess profit." Patman said cost records would be their safeguard. NAVY CAPTAIN ACCUSED OF NEGLIGENCE IN LOSS OF BIG CRUISER IN WASHINGTON, Navy formally accused Capt.

A 1 FRANKFURT German resentment against American occupation methods is developing rapidly into bitter hatred which is giving rise to increasing talk of resistance, according to a survey made by U. S. intelligence officers. An outstanding source of resentment, the survey found, is the conviction that the American Military Administration is suffering from a lack of policy which the Germans hold responsible for much injustice and confusion. This conviction, it was said, is shared by many of the clergy who profess pro-Allied sympathies.

Results of the survey were embodied in a report made public Sunday. In general, the investigators found the Germans seem to feel they have suffered enough. SAY SUFFERED ENOUGH "Whatever material losses were inflicted on other countries, Germany has lost more," is the way the average German seems to feel, the report said. It pictured Germany as a land of groaners, and quoted one civil servant -as saying "the only thing Germans would' be able really to agree on would be some form of resistance." The report disclosed that the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany had made a formal protest to the Inter-Allied Control Council charging injusticei in de-Nazification program. The clergymen protested "the freedom accorded Polei and other foreigners when they their revenge on the German people for evils which the Nazii flicted on them." There has been some talk amonf Germans of organizing groups to combat depredations by displaced persons, the survey There also has been talk of organizing similar groups "to punish fraternizing women."
