Senator WdIlgren Suggests
Soviet Peninsula as
Air Base

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9-Senator
Mons C. Wallgren tD-Wash) today
suggested that the United States
assist Russia by fortifying Kam-
chatka Peninsula for use as an
ultimate airbase against Japan and
to prevent Japanese seizure OF the
strategic point as a base against
Alaska.
Wallgren said Russian neutrality
towards Japan made the use OF
Kamchatka presently impossible for
the United States, but added that
money, equipment and planes could
be furnished to Russia Immediately
for the fortification.
He pointed out the Soviet already
is fortifying Petropavlovsk and pre-
dicted the area will be an eventual
battle-ground.

WASHINGTON = Certain gentle
men who would like to shift re-
sponsibility for Pearl Harbor have
been spreading the yarn that J.
Edgar Hoover and the FBI were
to blame for the Navy being caught
asleep on the memorable and tragic
day of December 7.
Real inside story on this how
ever, can now be told, namely that
as early as last spring, Head G.
Man Hoover urged that he be per-
mitted to arrest, or at least GUST
from the Hawaiian Islands, the
$50 Japanese consular agents oper-
ating there.
Hoover argued that Japan didn't
need $50 consular agents in a little
place like Hawaii in the first place.
In the second place he produced
concrete evidence that at least one
of them had tried to get infornla-
ton on U. S. fleet movements.
General Short, in command at
Hawaii, since removed, objected TO
Hoovers plan. He said it would
cause too much commotion. Never
theless, Hoover persisted, took the
matter over General Shorts head
to Washington. Secretary of War
Stimson supported General Short
and nothing was done.
After Pearl Harbor, the Japa-
nese consulate was taken over and
its papers searched. Among them
was found a code of signals by
lights; so many lights would show
that the U. S. destroyers had lett
Pearl Harbor; SO many lights would
indicate that the battleships had
left; another light arrangement
would signal that the destroyers
had returned, and so on. This code
completely corroborated Hoover's
contention that the japanese con-
sular agents were the handspring
of Japanese espionage.
NOTE: Hoover actually caught
two Japanese spies red-handed in
the United States, but was forced
by the State Department to sen1
them back to Tokyo instead OF
placing them on trial. One was q

Square Dance Popular
Again in the Southwest

AMARILLO, TEXAS. - Square
dancing is making comeback in
the Southwest.
In this Panhandle city of $4,000 a
square dancing class of six grew in
less than six months to a group of
enthusiasts of more than 100.
Under the supervision of the
recreational department Of the
WPA, the dancers meet each week
and try out the steps that were old
when grandmother tripped over her
hustle.
Arthur Murray, the New York
professor, recently predicted that
square dancing will become the
most popular dance during the pres
ent war.
In this connection, Miss Dorothea
Martin, supervisor of the WPA
classes here, has made calculations
that show the square dance runs in
10-year cycles of popularity.
The present cycle, she says, start
ed in 1885.
According to Miss Martin square
dancing started on the continent in
the Middle ages when it was per-
formed on horseback by monarchs'
cavalry troops.
Square dancing on horses has not
entirely died out to this day. In
Throckmorton, Texas, there is a
famous mounted dance team featur-
ing both men and women riders.
