Colonel Held in Quarters
For Hawaii Speeches
By the Associated Press.

BY Ine ASSOCldteu rEcoS
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. ia
retiring Army officer was confined
to his quarters today during an IN
vestigation into recent speeches IN
which he commented on the Jap
anese attack on Hawaii.
Mai. Gen. Daniel Van Voorhis,
5th Corps Area commander, ordered
the action. an area spokesman said,
against Col. H. c. KreSs Mullen
berg, former commander OF HlcK-
am Field in Hawaii.
Col. Muhlenberg told the Curtiss
Flying Club here Wednesday night
that the only reason the United
States did not lose the Hawaiian
Islands in the initial attack by
Japan was that the japanese were
too stupid to concentrate their
forces.
He also declared that the Ameri-
can people should not hunt goats
because they themselves adopted a
proeram of sending planes all over
the world instead of keeping air
/ craft where most needed.
Col. Muhlenberg is on leave pend
ing retirement at his own request.
He declined to comment on the
Army'S inquiry.
The Army officer told the flying
club the Navy was of secondary I'M
portance now; that the air power
was most essential.
He pictured the Philippines as an
economic asset and a military liza
bility to the United States, but
termed Hawaii both an economic
and military asset.
Thousands of japanese, he added
have entered the Philippines with
the sole intent of taking over the
islands for their country.

Hans Thomson and his wife-for
White Sulphur Springs, w. Va,
where they will stay under official

the German Embassy is located, al
though the State Department twice
had indicated that the German
diplomats already had gone. This
morning the State Department for

DR.. and Mrs. Thomson rode in the
back seat of their limousine, which
wss driven by an American Govern

left the trunks and suit cases were
loaded into an express truck, while
