Congressional Probe
OIL Pearl Harbor Before
Election Demanded
Harness Urges Subpoena
Of White House, Army
And Navy Records
BY the Associated Press,

An independent investigation
by Congress of the Pearl Harbor
disaster was demanded in the
House today by Representative
Harness, Republican, of Indiana,
a member Of the Military Affairs
Committee.
Offering resolution calling for a
special flve-man committee to con-
duct the inquiry, the Indianan told
the House the public was demand
ing, and should be told before the
November election, all the facts con-
nected with the Japanese attack on
the Pacific base.
Under his resolution, the investi-
eating committee would have au-
thority to subpoena "all records" Of
the White House, the State Depart
ment and the Army and Navy as
well as Army and Navy personnel.
1t would be required to report its
findings within 80 days.
IF the President of the United
States is not responsible for this
disaster, he should be cleared
promptly of such grave and serious
charges Mr.. Harness asserted. "On
the other hand, if, as commander
IN chief of the armed forces, he has
been culpable in directing our mill
tary activities in Hawaii, the Ameri-
can people should have the true
facts before they are called upon to
pass judgment on his fitness for
reelection to a fourth term as
President"
"The war with Japan has been
unduly prolonged" he added, "and
it is impossible to estimate the loss
of lives and materiel yet to be suf-
fered in the Pacific, partly, if not
altogether, due to the stupid and
criminal negligence of some one in
high office"
Acting under congressional man
date, both the Army and Navy have
set up special investigating boards
which now are holding closed hear
ings into circumstances surrounding
the sneak attack.

Growing Shortages

Sugar Seen in D. {.
Scarcity Occurs os Many
Processed Foods Are
Taken OFF Rotion List
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr.

-
Growing shortages of meat,
butter and sugar were confront
ing housewives today as they
moved into a new phase of ra-
tioning, with higher point values
on canned fruits, four fruit and
vegetable juices, canned toma-
toes, catsup and chile sauce and
with the removal from the ra-
ton list of all other processed
foods.
One large chain store said pre-
liminary reports showed virtually
every dealer had sold out of butter
by Saturday night, while another
reported its supplies were equivalent
to about 2 ounces of butter a week
for regular customers.
Both pork and beef supplies are
low here. Even utility beef, which
has been point-free since August
13. is becoming difficult to procure
1t was learned. Hams, likewise, were
becoming increasingly rare.
Sugar Situation Tight.
Food retailers described the sugar
situation as very tight and the
lowest supply in relation to demand
since the war began. The big de-
mand was attributed to increased
buying for home canning, with
stores selling out the same day sup.
plies are received.
One Government source expressed
the opinion there had been con-
siderable looseness" on the part OF
local ration boards in Issuing extra
sugar rations for home canning.
Eastern and Southern sugar re.
fineries, 1t was learned, are con-
fronted with a manpower shortage
