Debunkers Cef Chance

 Over Aeiion of China
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-When the story started simmering here recently that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek had recalled his mili- tary mission to the United States because we were transferring war materials in India destined for China to the British, the debunkers went to work again.
 This is a story that might well have started on Axis short-wave stations.
 Let's examine the facts. It's true
 CD That the Chinese military com mission has started for home (but it's going to take a leisurely junket through training centers and wal plants and probably will not ac- tually be on it's way for six weeks yeD, (2) that the Generalissimc isn't happy about the short-of all out aid being given China (but neither is Stalin happy about aio to Russia; Prime Minister Curtin happy about what is being done tc clean up his Australian area; noI the Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians Greeks, etc, happy that we haven't opened a big second front on their frontiers.

SEN ATE TO INVESTIGATE
 LABOR DEPT.
Committee to Be Given Additional Powers in
 Investigation

A supplementary report of the Department of Labor, delivered to members of the Territorial Senate on the opening day by Commis- sioner Walter P. Sharpe, resulted this afternoon in the formation of plans for complete investigation of charges made in the report against former Commissioner Mi chael J. Haas.
 Senator A. P Walker, who for merly was employed by Haas, and who is also mentioned in the re- port "by inference" brought the matter before the Senate by urg- ing that Haas be given a. chance to explain his case If the charges be proved true, Walker said, pun ishment should be meted out. If proved false, the man who made the charges should be made to answer to the Senate.
 Implication
 "The charges he makes imply that I, myself" Walker said, am in some way involved" | Senator Edward D. Coffey stat ed that since the appointment of Haas was made by the Senate and House at the last session, the mat ter should be investigated, and if there is ,"any reason to believe there has been m malfe asance," charges should be brought. Coffey suggested that the Judi ciary Committee conduct the in- vestigation.
 | President o. D. Cochran agreed with Coffey, further stating that although it was an unpleasant duty, the charges are of "a grave public nature He said it would be impossible for the Senate to shirk it's duty in the matter He sug- gested that the committee be given additional powers to call witnesses and conduct a full hearing, and Senator Coffey was selected to see Attorney General Henry Roden re- garding the matter of drawing up the resolution creating the com mittee
 i GOrdOn's View 1 Senator Frank s. Gordon then suggested that the Senate as a whole be made the committee to conduct the investigation Presi- dent Cochran replied that he thought the matter should be taken up by the committee, only, that he believed this would be th e proper procedure.
 Senator A. P. Walker then spoke in favor of making the hearings entirely public.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON fMa,or Robert S. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON. = Among tn e Presidents close inner circle no one has talked with him about fourth term, with the possible ex- ception of Harry Hopkins, and Harry these days moves in such rarefied atmosphere that not even other White House intimates know exactly what he thinks or talks about to the President.
 However, you can't get away from the fact that some of the Presidents friends already are dis cussing a fourth term. They are doing it with various degrees of reaction, however. Some mention it reluctantly, as if they didn't want it, but think it necessary because there is no one else on the Demo- cratic horizon.
 Some few definitely believe the President should run, hope he will run, and think he will be elected. They, however, are in a minority.
 From one man, not as close as Hopkins but who sees the Presi- dent frequently, comes this diag- nosis:
 Tt will take wild horses to drag the Boss into running for fourth term But he isn't going to say SO. There is nothing he loves more than to keep people guessing. He is going to do just what he did last time-say nothing until the last minute.
 However, the picture is differ ent from that in l940. Then, we approached certain war, with only one man who could lead and unify the country in preparation for that war. The nation was torn between isolationists and interventionists. We could have been disastrously split, the way the Nazis planned. Only now do we realize how dan- gerously we were open to attack
 That was the primary reason Roosevelt stayed on, to bridge us over the war gap. But now that we are in the war, and on the read to victory. he doesn feel the same way. Tine issue is not so ur- gent, and he will not run i'll 1924"
 NOTE: This friend om.ttad one factor from his diagnosis. FDR also wants to win the peace after the war. To this end, some friends think he should make a deal with Willkie or Henry Wallace to let him handle the peace after 1944 while they handle the White House.
