 MT. Truman's basic recommenda- tions for legislative action were:
 1. Federal aid for construction of hospitals. health centers and other facilities where they are needed.
 2. Increased use of federal funds to expand cooperative state-federal public health, maternal and child health services.
 3. Federal aid to support more adequate professional education and the advancement of research on the cause, prevention and cure of can- cer and mental illnesses.
 4. A compulsory national health insurance system to assure prepay ment of medical costs under a plan which would leave patients free to those choose their own doctors and hospitals.
 5. Disability insurance for pro- lection against loss of wages because Of sickness and disability.

 Reuther's arbitration offer was made late yesterday and gave the corporation "A hours to make a re- ply to the three-point proposal which would provide for one labor arbitrator one from management and third to picked by the first two.
 The second point provided that the board would have full access to the books of both the company and union-a proposal which the com pany has fought consistently on the ground that the company's books were none of the unions business.
 The third point provided that the boards decision would be bind- ing and could not be used as the basis of price increases on cars.
 General Motors has bitterly fought union demands that wage in- creases not be used as the basis for increase in prices.
 General Motors representatives still were studying the 2,100-word union proposal early today. The only comment by a G-M spokesman was: T thought so, they still want to get a look at our books
 Reuther was emphatic in his statement that the union would use all it's powers to obtain full 30 per- cent increase unless the company could show that it could not afford such an increase without raising prices.

 4. Richardson got the impress sion after visit to White House in October, l940 that active, open steps aimed at Japan were contemplated and he didn't think in event of war with Japan ex- isting plans were adequate.
 5. Admiral Harold R. Stark, then Chief of Naval Operations, expressed great concern over safety of the fleet at Pearl Har- bor and asked Richardson to take all necessary safety precautions. In December, 1940, he told Rich ardson war might come "any time after the next 90 days"
 6. Richardson told Stark in January, 1941, of precautions taken but because of equipment shortages he still didn't think they were adequate to defend the fleet and harbor against an air attack.
 That was one of Richardsons last reports as fleet commander. He gave copy to his successor, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who was in command when the Japa- nese delivered their sneak blow Dec. ', 1941.
 Argument Described
 Richardson told in detail of his argument with Mir. Roosevelt during a White House visit Oct. 8, 1940, on the question of concentrating the Pacific fleet at Hawaii.
 Richardson said he was invited to the White House for lunch. Ad- miral William D. Leahy, then gover- nor of Puerto Rico, was there. Leahy later became chief of staff to MT Roosevelt and now serves in the same capacity under President Tru- man.
 T took up the question of return ing to the Pacific coast all of the fleet except the Hawaiian detach- ment," Richardson testified.
 "The President states that the fleet was retained in the Hawaiian area in order to exercise a restrain ing influence on the actions of Japan"
 Knew Fleet Unprepared
 Richardson expressed the opinion that 1t might influence a civilian political government but not the military government of Japan. He said the Japanese knew the fleet was undermined and unprepared for war. He contended the JapS would be more impressed if the fleet re- turned to the West Coast, took on ammunition and supplies and strip ped for war operations.
 The Presidents response, Richard son said, was:
 Despite what you believe, I know that the presence of the fleet in the Hawaiian area has had, and is now having, a restraining influence on the actions of Japan

It charged that a fictitious advisory board was set up by using names of half a dozen na- tlonally-known industrialists, none of whom, according to the indict- ment, was even aware that his name was so used. All the alleged viola tionS were held to have occurred between June 20, 1941, and Feb. 28, 1942.
 The first IS counts of the indict- ment were based on. individual mail ings of letters and brochures which were held in violation of the law against use of the mails to defraud. The 18th count charged conspir- acy to commit the frauds described.
 Maximum penalties under the mail fraud charge are fine of S1,000 or imprisonment for five years, or both, upon each count. On the conspiracy charge the maxi mum penalty is a $10,000 fine, two years imprisonment. or both.

 Another defendant, Marshall J Fitzgerald, secretary, Chicago and Washington, and director of the organization, died since the indict- ment was returned.
 All the defendants except Des- mond were first indicted on the same charges on Sept. 16, 1943. This indictment was set aside because of a legal technicality.

 It is no secret that Jackson and his staff of American lawyers han dled 90 per cent of the work of preparing the Nuremberg indict- ments.
 The British, with the brilliant young Attorney Gen. Sir Hartley Shawcross as chief prosecutor. will press the second count, and the third will be handled by the Rus sians and Trench, whose people suf- fered most from the Nazis in this category.
 The fourth count will be prose- cuted jointly by the Americans and Russians.
 Tn addition to the trial of the 20 present defendants, the court was to decide four other outstanding problems affecting the progress of the hearings.
 The judges were to rule on Hess insanity plea; a motion for men, tai examination of Streicher: the Franco Russian request for trial of Alfried Krupt in place of his aged and ailing father, Gustav, and the statue of Ernest Kaltenbrunner, who suffered a hemorrhage in his cell Sunday night.
 Physicians believed it would be at least three weeks before Kalten- brunner could appear in court. and it was expected that the trial would go ahead without him until that time
 Gustav Krupp was regarded as too sick ever to stand trial for his role in the building of Nazi Ger many's war machine, but all four prosecutors appeared to be in agree ment on trying his son, Alfried, at a later date, along with group of other German induStrialists.
