radio address does not of itself
call for an investigation by Con-
gress. or a committee of Congress,
although demands for such an in
quarry continued TO be made by
10th Republican and Democratic
members of the House today.

an effort on the part of Colonel
Mas and his friends to force from
the navy complete, accurate and
comprehensive story of what actu-
ally occurred in the battle in Tu-
lagi Harbor early in August.
In congressional circles today
re most remarkable, and the
Tlcgr sensational statement made
by Colonel Mas, was declared to
be the following:

cruisers and several destroyers,

night, caught our feet literally
asleep. opened up with their
