FORESAW WAR ENTRY
Richardson's testimony today
followed mis- surprise statement
yesterday that Mr. Roosevelt told
him in October, 1910. the United
States probably would not go 10
war even if Japan attacked the
PhilippineS-but that sooner or
later they (the JapS) would make
a mistake and the United tSates
would enter the war.
The retired admiral today gave
this account of the July s lunch
con with Mr.. Roosevelt:

hours. My mission primarily
was to find what thought was
back of our retention In Hawaii,
the duration of our stay, ana

On July II, 1910. Richardson
said he stopped by the White
House 70 sec the President hu'
the visit lasted only a few min

President good-by," Richardson
related. "No subject of any mo-
ment was discussed"
Detroit evening times., 1945-11-21

The Hull ultimatum TO Japan
was sent against the pleas Of
Gen. Marshall and Adm Stark
That was the las blunder.
The first one-puttlng the feet
into the trap - was also done
against the advice of its COM
mander and the chief of naval
operations.
AT every point, from the begin
ming TO the end of that fateful
episode - a bungling, intrusive,
clumsy hand was at work, work
ing impulsively and often keeping
his highest commanders in the
dark.
The true meaning Of Adm. Rich
ardsons testimony lies in these
points
The presence Of the fleet AT
Pearl Harbor insured the at
tack The fleet had always
been based on the West Coast.
The testimony given by Adm.
IngliS. who preceded Richard

admiral, Yamamoto, began 10
prepare the plan only after 1t
had become plain that the great
fleet had been transferred from
the West Coast 10 Hawaii.

By the Associated Press.
The Justice Department proceed
ed today with plans to deport Fred
erick Emil Bauer, 10, described as
trained Nazi spy who didn't work
at It,
Instead, the department says, he
Joined the American Army and be-
came sergeant. Now the Army
has given him discharge without
honor and he has been informed at
indianapolis as an alien enemy.
The evidence against Bauer rests
on his own voluminous confession
to Government authorities" de-
partment announcement said. It
related that Bauer's own account
was as follows:
Admitted to Bar Here.
Born in Germany in 1905, he came
to the United States in 1880, in
1885 became a naturalized citizen
and was admitted to the bar in
Washington.
In June, 1910, having returned to
Germany. he joined the German
Army, taking the fatal oath of al
legiance which expatriated him. "
He received spy training and be-
came lieutenant. In August, 1871
he was smuggled back to the United
States and lived on spy funds" I'M
til May 2, 1912, when he enlisted in
the Army.
No overt acts, however, imple-
menting his training and equipment,
are reported" the department said.
Sheriff Won't Surrender Him.
Justice agents attempted to take
Bauer in custody at Fort Benja-
min Harrison yesterday a short

Correction

In a news story reporting the
end of the trucking strike, ap-
pearing in late editions of yes
terday's Star, the statement
was made that "the operators
members of the District of
Columbia Labor Relations
Council, an organization of
company representatives set up
to handle labor disputes-at
first fatty refused to meet with
union men to discuss a new
contract" This statement was
erroneous. The contract with
the union, renewal of which
caused the disagreement ending
in a strike, expired August 81,
1945, and before and after that
date there were numerous
negotiations meetings between
the representatives of the union
and of the operators. The Star
regrets the error.
