simultaneously but separately an
nounced by Secretaries Stimson and
Knox.
Subject to whatever verdicts the
courts may return, both officers, un-
der the retirement, would receive
$4,000 life salaries, IS per cent of
their base pay of $4,000.
The army and navy authorities
were silent when asked by newsmen
whether Admiral Kimmel and Gen.
eral Short had requested that they
be tried.
There was to be no hurry about
the trials, both secretaries stating
that the trials will not be held "un-
til the public interest and safety
will permit"
Many believed they would not
take place until after the war.
Officers who would logically testi-
fy as witnesses are now scattered
all over the world by the call of
duty.

OUTLOOK:
Gloomy Nov

Even though the Allies eventual
victory was little doubted through
out the United States, and though
the country was girding itself ever
faster to make ready for striking
the winning blows, the present news
was gloomy.
Japan's conquest of the East In
dies, If they should take Java. and
1t looked as though they might. was
practically complete. Release of
troops, planes and ships for the final
assault on Macarthur valiant men
was one eventuality.
More likely was it that the Japs,
once in possession of the entire In
dies, would slow down their attack
on the Burmese front, let the Philip
pines take care of themselves, and
go "all-out" after the east coast Of
Australia.
Competent observers felt that the
Battle for the Indies would logically
be followed by the Battle Of Austria
liza, and that the Japs were laying
the groundwork for this battle rath-
er than any other.
Objective. they said, would be the
east coastal plain, and the attack
was envisioned as striking at Cape
York, head Of that plain, rather than
at Darwin, which would lead the
Japs right into the Never-Never
Land.
The Jap dream of capturing the
whole continent of Australia, and
thus making it difficult for the West
ern hemisphere to use that logical
hop-off and supply spot for the even.
tual counter-offensive against Nip
pom was considered az more likely
thing than for the Japs simply to
move into thiclxly populated India.

battles the administration had been
facing.
Labor troubles doomed here and
there, but in the main hard work
and plenty of it was being done by
war industry.
Washington voted to continue in
principle the 40-hour week for labor,
but all war industries were ordered
on a 24-hour-day and a seven-day
week by WPB Director Nelson.
In the meantime senators interest
ed in unnecessary spending in Wash

of the OCD and were urging that

of the war department.

ECONOMIC:
Battles Here

There were signs that the farm
bloc, wishing to put through plan
to place all agricultural products on
no ceiling below parity, was unwill-
ing to put itself in an unpatriotic
light and wished to confer with
President Roosevelt before taking
definite stand.
This placating attitude bid fair to
iron out one of the tough economic

MYSTERY:
Coast attack

The Smelling of the Pacific coast
by submarine was almost imme-
diately followed by the now-famous
anti-aircraft incident. which had
never been satisfactorily explained
by army and navy high officials,
and which finally had led to out
spoken demands by California con-
gressmen.
News headline writer's began to
call the affair the "ghost attack
and representatives in the house de-
clared -four people died" and
many homes were damaged" as a
result Of the firing Of l $50 rounds of
anti-aircraft ammunition over Los
Angeles in two hours Of furious
work.
Navy Secretary Knox called the
attack "a false alarm" War Secre-
tary Stimson, quoting General Mar
shall. chief Of staff, said it was
about Is civilian planes, some fast
and some slow.
