 KEPT, HAWAII
U. 5. Dealing with Worst of International Des-
 peradoes in History

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Former Secretary Cordell Hull testified to- day he believed the State Depart ment was thoroughly justified ill wanting the fleet kept at Pearl Harbor in the critical days of late l941."
 The former Cabinet officer took the stand before Senate-H House committee Investigating the Pearl Harbor dispute for an hours ques- tioning
 In response to a question from Gerhard Gesell, committee counsel, about the State Departments at titude on keeping the fleet in Ha- waiian waters, Hull said:
 We felt that it would be more or less useful, especially after the fleet was based at Pearl Harbor, that it remain there during the critical state of relations with certain other nations-Japan especially"
 We were dealing with one of the worst international desperadoes within the memory of man. He was at large, on rampage, dangerous, treacherous and undependable in every way.
 Tt was little more wholesome in the many matters under discussion tor our Navy to be standing there ,
 Hull said that from all tangible and intangible reactions" he had re- ceived he was convinced the State Department was thoroughly justi- Iied' in that viewpoint.
 Gray-haired Cordell Hull dispell- ed much of the mystery surrounding our pre-war dealings with Japan ir his testimony today before the Pear Harbor committee. The former Sec retary of State said the Japs already were, in his words, hell-bent fol war before they attacked Pearl liar bor He said that just few days fore the assault, they turned down an American proposal which any sane, loving nation would have been glad to accept.

 Reaching down to the very soldiers and sailors who fought the war as well as the generals and admirals who directed it and the zaibatsu (big family concerns, who supplied it, Macarthur also ordered the government to terminate by Feb. 1 the payment of any dis charge allowances or service pen sions to Japanese veterans except compensation for physical disa- bility limiting the recipients ability to work"

TRUMAN 0NLONG TRIP; NO NOTICE
 GIVEN NEWSMEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 = Presi- dent Truman and his family have staked out claim to a little privacy sometimes when they go a-visiting.
 MT. Truman himself was back in the White House after what began as secret flight to Grandview, Mo, and ended with a night land- ing at National Airport here. He made the unheralded trip to visit his mother, Mrs Martha Truman, on her ninety-third birthday an- niversary.
 Mrs. Truman and their daughter Margaret, meanwhile, were visiting friends in New York, the identities of their hosts a closely-guarded secret.
 The President, up early yesterday and noting, he said, that it was a pretty day, decided suddenly on the Grandview jaunt. Returning at 8:14 EST), he told four reporters awaiting him at the airport:
 T just took a notion to visit GrandvieW and see my mother on her birthday, and I did, just as l used to do.'
 A reporter suggested that news papers might be upset that the President flies half way across the country and back again without any coverage," and asked if the President had "any explanation"
 T don't need to give an explana- tion," MT. Truman replied. T don't intend to-"
 Does this mean that the papers won't be represented on your future trips?" he was asked.
 No" he said, it didn't mean that. Tt meant" he said T wanted to go out to Grandview and see my mother just took a notion I'd go and see her, and I did"
 The President said he he'd "a good time' and that his mother enjoyed herself immensely"
 The trip marked the first time in the memory of White House correspondents that a Chief Ex- ecutive had travelled so far from Washington without some sort of advance press arrangements.

SERIOUS VIEW IS TAKEN OF RUSSIAN,
 IRAN DIFFICULTIES
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER CAP Diplomatic Nei0s EdttoD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Allied diplcmates here are taking an in- creasingly serious view of the sit uation developing between Russia and Iran over an uprising in the re- mote province of Azerbaijan.
 Some fear 1t may present the United Nations with a critical test at the very outset of organized ef- forts to protect the peace and se- curity of all nations.
 The United States has moved cautiously into the situation by ask ing Russia for information about the activities of it's armed forces in A2erbaijan.
 Leading Question
 Essentially the question is whether the Red Army has prevented Iranian troops from acting effectively against the rebel bands and whether this involved violations of Trans sovereignty.
 A Moscow dispatch last night quoted diplomatic quarters as say ing that Soviet Foreign Commissar Molotov, during discussion with Trans ambassador, Madjid Any, had given assurances that Russia would respect Iranian sovereignty.
 The dispatch added that Molotov was said to have expressed surprise at Iranian contentious that Red Army troops had refused free pas sage to Iranian forces in Azerbai- jan.
 Eraggerations
 Reporting that stories of Red Ar my interference had been described officially in Moscow as exaggeration, the dispatch went on to say it was understood that such progress had been made in the Molotov-Ahy con- versations that a projected Iranian mission to Moscow had been can celled.
 One fact remained, howeve", that the Iranians already have complain ed of restrictions on their freedom and independence and presumably may continue their complaints un- til the United Nations organization meets formally in London in Jan uary, At that time Iran would have an opportunity, if she still were of the same mind, to bring formal charges against Russia.
 Red Army forces occupy the northern section of the little middle eastern country, and British troops the southern section American for ces operated railroad and truck lines in Iran during the war for lend lease deliveries from the Persian Gulf to Russia, but most of the Americans have been pulled out.

The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-Carefully guard ed in secret Navy files is Gallup poll of naval men which top An napolis officers aren't going to say a word about-unleSS a Congress sional committee blasts it out. The report spells out the reason why peacetime conscription is considered necessary if we are to keep large armed forces after the war.
 To read some of the answers it would almost seem that mutiny was imminent. What enlisted men said about their officers frequently was unprintable The overwhelming pro- portion of the men did not want to stay in the Navy, are fed up with the caste system, and consider they have little chance to become commissioned officers.
 Most significant was the fact that only 10 per cent of the regular Navy men-in other words, those who hitherto had made career of the wanted to stay in after the war
 The Navy's poll was taken after careful consultation with the Gal lup experts and with the Elmo Roper experts, who take the For tune poll It was sound, profess sional job Experts were even flown to Okinawa and various parts of the Pacific in order to make sure that a cross-section of Navy men were interviewed.
 Furthermore, the poll was taken during the last week in July and the first week in August before the atom bomb was dropped and when the Navy was at the peak of it's fighting. If the poll had been taken during the postwar slack, when men are idle and restless, ob- viously it would have shown more anxiety to get back to peacetime life.
 OFFICER TRAINING DIRECTIVE Those who have studied this poll admit privately that something is seriously wrong at the Navy's core. One trouble, they believe, may be that officers are trained in strategy,

By YVES GALLAGHER

BULLETIN - NUREMBERG,
 Nov. 26.--Evidence designed to
 show that German leaders in-
 cited Japan to make the attack
 on Pearl Harbor was placed be-
 fore the International War
 Crimes Tribunal today by Amer
 ican prosecutors.
 The documents were added hy
 the tribunal to the mounting
 pile of Hitler's war plans which
 included cold -bIooded schemes to
 assassinate the German envoy
 in Prague as pretext for in-
 vasion of Czechoslovalsia, to
 overrun Poland, seize the Low
 Countries and. ultimately, to
 attack Russia.
 American prosecutors in the
 trial of 20 leading Nazis pro-
 duced stenographic notes of talks
 between Hitler and Japanese
 Foreign Minister Yosuke Mat
 suoka several months before the Pearl Harbor attack and asserted
 that "our evidence will show
 these Nazi cGnspirators melted
 and kept up force that could
 reasonably be expected to result

 The plot was just one step in Hitler's lawless plans to subjugate Germanys neighbors that were out lined in details before the interna- tional military tribunal.
 Inpaston Plans
 Reading from captured German American prosecutors that detailed plans for the invasion of Cgechoslovakia were made on April 2l, 1888 just one month after Hitler overran Austria and assured the world he had no further plans for territorial expan- sion.
 Plans for the proposed assassina- .ion of a German displomat and a subsequent blitz invasion of the little country were known under the code name lease green" and were re- vealed in a file carefully kept by adjutant who was captured by American airborne troops, Assis- tant Prosecutor Sidney s. Alderman told the court.
 American prosecutors proceeded to pile up evidence of Hitler's plans for aggressive war, end defense counsel filed lists of prospective witt nssses and desired documents, which included an indication that Rudolf Hess, No. 3 Nazi, will carry his in- sanity plea to the court.
 Council for Hjalmar Schacht dis closed that the former Reichsbank president will seek to prove that he in the bomb plot to kill Hitler on July 20, l944, and tried to overthrow the Nazi government in 1898.
 In a document described by the American prosecutors as "Hitler's last will and testament" the Fueh- Ter predicted he would solve the German space problem no later than l943-45"

WRAP PARCELS WITH CARE
FOR OVERSEAS MAILING

MORE dlIcntlOn is needed IN wrap
ping packages for overseas ship
ment, to insure their safe arrival.
Factors contributing to damage
from faulty wrapped packages
are.
,(a) Use of light corrugated con-
tainers for shipping purposes. Don't
use them. (b) Wrapping paper is too
thin and not enough strong cord
used in tying up. (c) Poor pack
ing of bottles, jars and other break
able articles, which break and
cause containers to disintegrate. (d)
Acceptance of perishable matter at
post offices. This is prohibited. fe)
Loose packing of articles with
sharp corners and edges which
break containers.
All articles for overseas shipment
should be packed in boxes of metal,
wood, solid fiberboard, or strong
double faced fibreboard, testing at
least 20O-lbs securely tied with
strong cord, preferably 4 separate
pieces, 2 lengthWise and cross
wise, knotted at crossings Sealing
flaps where they meet, with gum
tape strengthens box but is not suf-
ficient, for tape loosens if damp
ened too much. Use sufficient cush-
ioning material to prevent rafting
or loosening of articles within box.
The WPB has approved making of
boxes 10x6x4-in., which will be of
greater strength than previously ap-
proved containers within the 5 lib.
limit. Wrap all fiberboard boxes in
heavy paper, tying before and af-
ter applying heavy wrapper in ac-
cordance with above instructions.
Sealed boxes must bear printed in
scription authorizing opening for
postal inspection.
See that parcels have complete
and accurate army or navy address.
1t is desirable that addresses of
sender and addressee and list of con-
tents be inclosed in package to in
sare proper disposition in case adj
dresses on outside are detaced or
boxes broken and contents lost or
scattered. Put outside addresses d.
rectly on wrapper instead Of label,
as labels frequently fall off when
subjected to moisture. Under no cir
cumstances should matches be
mailed.
