Report Was Unanimous.

Senator George told the Senate
the petition filed at the time of Sen
ator Overton's election was full of
lurid generalities" aimed at the then
Senator Long, and making the
broad generalization that Senator
Overton had been the beneficiary
Of the Long organization.
After very careful investigation
the committee concluded without a
dissenting vote that nothing had
been produced affecting the election
or affecting the high character and
fitness Of Senator Overton to a seat
in the Senate" said Senator George,
who was chairman of the commit
tee at that time. The committee
30 reported, and, as the Senator
himself has said, that report was
unanimously adopted
Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF

that went to Louisiana to inquire

 So far the Japs have taken Guam, an island 30 miles long and four to eight and one-half miles wide with an area of 225 square miles, 1906 miles distant from Manila. It is a us. naval station and there is powerful government radio sta- tion there. It is 1900 miles southeast of Tokyo.
 It was guarded by less than 400 navy men and 155 marines who put up grand fight to hold the station.
 Marine corps and navy personnel have va1iantly defended Wake and Midway Island which are landing bases for trans-Pacific airplanes, in the direct route from Hawaii to Hong Kong, from attack upon attack by the Japs.
 Successful defense of Luzon, largest island of the Philippines, on which Mani la is located, ntinues. Beyond landing small groups in unimportant sections of the island, the Japs are unsuccessful. They are now turning their attention to Mindanao and Mndoro islands, of the same group.
 Secretary of the Navy Knox flew to Pearl Harbor on Thursday following the sneaking attack by the Japs, December T, to learn why such an important outpost haC not been more alert to enemy attack.
