Grew Warns Japs
May Attempt Fake
Peace Move as Trap
Sees Deceptive Effort
To Put United Nations
OFF Their Guard
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Emphasiz-
ing Japans "overweening ambition"
to conquer the United States, Joseph
c, Grew, former Ambassador to
Japan, today warned against de
ceptive japanese peace moves de-
signed to throw the United Nations
Off guard.
Speaking before the 22d annual
luncheon of the Women's National
Republican Club here, Mr.. Grew
declared:
The japanese art of self defense,
jujitsu, gives us clue as to what
these tactics are likely to be. The
essence of this art is that by letting
the adversary take the initiative and
by giving way and Stimulating defeat,
the adversary may be lulled into
dropping his guard: then, when the
adversary has advanced too far
he is destroyed by quick recovery
and lightning attack where he is
weakest"
Mrs. Meyer Speaks.
Mrs. Eugene Meyer, wife OF the
publisher of the Washington Post,
another speaker. criticized the de-
sire for return to normalcy," and
said we should pray that we shall
not be outstripped by our Allies -
in achieving the moral wakening,
the spiritual insight that comes to
those who expend themselves wholly
in defense of their country"
Letters from Wendell Willkie,
Herbert Hoover and Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey were head by Mrs. William
Henry Hays, club president.
Mr.. Grew said that at present the
japanese leaders. and even more so
the people, are far from convinced
that they cannot manage to retain
substantially all OF their war gains.
But when the Allied offensive
gains momentum and japanese
self confidence is shaken by sue
cessive reverses and loss of terri
tory then we may look for a de-
velopment of new tactics" he said.
The former ambassador said he
had no fear that American mill
tary leaders would be duped, but
felt the peoples of the United
Nations should be forewarned.
May Prepare Ground.
THE japanese are capable of
preparing the ground for such an
offensive with elaborate care" he
continued. 80 the military
leaders might begin by bringing
forth from retirement some former
statesman with liberal label and
placing him at the head of puppet
civilian cabinet.
There might be an announce
ment that Japan was ready to con-
clude peace on fair and just
basis. If the United Nations we're
willing to rise to the bait before
awaiting at least the clearing of the
Japanese armed forces from the
territories that they have seized, so
much the better for Japan"
Even the withdrawal OF forces as
a peace parley prerequisite would
not stop the possibility Of Jap trick
cry. he said.

WITH THE RED ARMY SOUTH
EAST OF ROSTOv. Jan. 16.-The
Red Army is advancing over this
vast front in amazingly mild wealth
er, disproving any theory that bit
ter winter temperatures may have
contributed to Hitler's current Rus
sian disaster.
Right now as we stand along the
wind-swept steppe road the Ger
mans, according to 1t. Gen. Rodiony
Malinovski, are showing signs of be-
wilderment. but there are signs they
may try to make big stand on the
line of the Manych Canal and the
Northern Donets.
I came to the Zimovniki region,
which is so miles or more toward
Rostov from Kotelnikovski, by train
and truck, crossed the Volga, and
stood on the banks of the Don and
it's sometimes been more of prob
lem to keep cool than warm.
1t is cold, If course. but the wide

House Group Studies
Pay-as-You-Go Tax
As Separate Measure
Would Push 1t Through
By March IS; Limited
Hearings Proposed
5y the Associated Press.

5y the Associated Press
Members of the House Ways
and Means Committee yesterday
considered a plan to push
through a pay-as-you-go income
tax act by March Is by separat-
ing that feature from other tax
legislation and limiting hear
ings on the subject.
Representative Knutson, Repub-
hcan, of Minnesota. a committee
member said he believed it would
divorce pay-as-you-go considera-
ton from the general tax problem
in the interest of speed. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the 25 COM
mittee members were agreed unani-
mously that I'VE must have a pay
as-we-go system though he en-
phasized there was no agreement as
to what form it should take.
Another member, Representative
Disney, Democrat, of Oklahoma,
commented, Il think we should deal
with the pay-as-you-go problem
separately, put time limit on hear
ings and put payments on current
basis by March Is if humanity pos
sible. In my opinion it is absolutely
necessary"
Chairman Doughton said the
committee would hold its first meet
ing Wednesday to determine pro-
cedure for dealing with the tax
matters confronting it, including
President Roosevelt's request for
$4,000, 100000 of new revenue from
taxes and compulsory loans. Mr..
Doughton believed it was too early
for much speculation about the
form of the new tax bill because
nobody knows yet what it is going
to look like"
Meanwhile Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau appealed in a
statement for early filing of tax re-
turns, saying that this year, with
more than 100000 additional in
dividuals required to make returns,
a last-minute jam would swamp
collectors Offices"
Mr.. Morgenthau again called at
tention to the fact that even though
legislation may be enacted providing
for collection at the source, tax
payers still must file their 1912 re-
turns by March Is.
Likewise Mr.. Doughton and Chair
man George of the Senate Finance
Committee reminded in joint
statement that regardless of any
legislation considered, taxpayers
must file their returns by March
Is and pay at least the first INSTALL
ment of their 1912 taxes.
Representative Carlson, Republi-
can of Kansas, author of a bill en-
bracing the Ruml Plan which would
skip one years taxes in arriving at
a current payment basis, empha-
sized that this measure, if enacted,
would not remove the necessity for
filing 1912 returns.

Hawkes. Hits Flynn
Selection as Pay
For Political Debt
Three Senators Named
To Advise on Choice Of
Witnesses at Hearings
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
Senator Hawkes., Republican. of
New Jersey, opposed yesterday the
nomination of Edward J. Flynn to be
Minister to Australia, saying that
"it is against the best interest Of
this country to have this and other
important appointments made as
payment of political debts"
Senator Hawkes. issued his state
ment as Chairman Connaly an
nounced the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee would start public
hearings Wednesday. A three-man
subcommittee Senators George
Democrat, of Georgia, Thomas,
Democrat, of Utah and Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan-was ap-
pointed by Senator Connally to ad-
wise on the selection of witnesses and
on what evidence should be admit
ted.
Senator Connally said Mr.. Flynn
telephoned him yesterday that he
would return here Tuesday from
Chicago, where he will resign the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee at a meeting to-
morrow.
Reasons Listed.
Senator Hawkes. said he opposed
Mr., Flynn's appointment for the fol-
lowing reasons:
Il. His unfitneSs for the post
through lack of diplomatic training.
%. The fact that at this critical
stage of the world our own people
and the combined Allied ma
tions have right to expect the
highest character and most COM
petent men available to represent
this country.
"3. I believe that it is against
the best interest of this country to
have this and other important ap-
pointments made as payment of
political debts rather than on a basis
of character, qualifications and fit
ness for the Office"
The possibility arose that the
Foreign Relations Committee might
have some expression from the State
Department in considering Mr..
Flynn's nomination. Senator Con-
nally said it was the custom, when
nomination of Importance is
challenged, to invite representatives
from the department to review the
record of the appointee. Therefore,
he said, it was likely that some de-
partment aide would appear as
witness.
Bridges Suggests Witnesses.
Senator Bridges, Republican, of
New Hampshire, who has taken
the lead in seeking to prevent Mr..
Flynn's confirmation, filed mem
orandum with the clerk of the COM
mittee listing witnesses he believed
should be called and outlining the
incidents about which he said they
ought to be questioned.
Among others, Senator Bridges
asked the committee to summon
Serge Rubinstein, who, Senator
oIiuRes Saio, once was represented
by Mr.. Flynn and his law partner,
Monroe Goldwater, and Samuel J.
Foley, district attorney of the
Bronx. Senator Bridges said he
wanted Mr.. Foley to testify "as to
his relations with Mr.. Flynn, Off
cial and political, and as to his
presentation" to the grand jury of
charges that New York City mate
rials and labor were used in paw
ing a courtyard at Mr.. Flynn's
estate. The grand jury exonerated
Mr.. Flynn;
Senator Bridges has charged that
MIR. Rubenstein "at the time of his
retainer with Flynn had large Jap
anese interests and also pre-
sented gift of money to the Japa-
nese government at time when
our relations with Japan were clear
ly strained"
