The committee began tOdayS

Adm T 3. Inglis, navy intelli-
gcnce chief. on a heretofore sec
ret document received from Gen.
MacArthurS headquarters in
Tokyo this month. This gave in
formation on the Jap attack plan
obtained from former high-rank-
ing enemy naval officers.
In that report, the committee
was told, Jap authorities con-
tended that the Pearl Harbor at
tack was developed in 1911 and
was not a part of Japan's pre-
war plans"
In the questioning Of Inglis,
Senator Brewster JR1 of Maine
brought out that although the
Jap> originally estimated that
they shot down $50 planes in the
Pearl Harbor assault, they later
revised this 10 157 but never
publicly corrected their original
figure.

Committee Begins Toll Today
On New Major League Pact

viii Harridge and four officials from
each league.
Following adoption of the agree
ment will come the naming of
new commissioner-a post that Is
reported to have drawn a host of
candidates. The new pact is ex-
pected to include the commissioner
salary-probably not as much as
$65, 900 which Lands received-and
may be limited to 10 years instead
of 25.
Harridge, American League presi-
dent. said the committee has no
authority to suggest or even to dis
cuss candidates" to succeed Lands.
Problem Is Confusing.
THE committees only job" he
said, sis to draw up the new major
league agreement that will set up the
commissioner Office. Frequently
there has been discussion about the
broad powers of the commissioner,
but we have found that any attempt
to define these powers and curtail
them brings about confusion and
difficulties"
P. K. Wrigley, owner-president OF
the Chicago Cubs and committee
member, said baseball should be
governed by a definite code instead
of big stick and asserted there
should be a set of specifications
drawn which will say just what the
commissioner has jurisdiction over"

CHICAGO, Jan. ,5.-The drafting
of a new major league agreement to
govern baseball'S future and to out
line the authority of commissioner
who will succeed the late X. M. Lam
dis today occupied the attention of
the two big league presidents and
eight club officials.
Although not authorized to con-
slider the naming of Lands sue
cessor, the committees business is in
the nature of laying the groundwork
for that assignment, which will rest
with the officials of all 16 clubs.
Expect to Tone Down Power.
The committees business, expected
to be completed in two days, will be
revising the previous 25-year big
league pact, which would have ex-
pired on January IL, 1916, but which
was terminated upon Lands death
last November Is. Lands, 78 at his
death and baseball's only commits
sioner, had held the post for "A
years.
A toning down Of authority vested
in the commissioner Office is ex-
pected to be included in the commit
tees decision, which, to become ef-
fective, must be accepted by a ma
jority of the 16 club owners. 1t
