Japan will hold a general ma

before January /, a Domei news
dispatch reported today. The
last general election choosing
Japan's House of Represent
atives took place April 80, 1912
Home ministry authorities pointed
to technical difficulties; lists of
eligible voters were burned by
American bombings in many cities,
and there was widespread shifting
of population. Lower house sources,
however, Domei said, held that body
responsible for the outcome of the
war and seek a new start by a gen.
eral election.
The cabinet, meanwhile, relaxed
somewhat the nations wartime re-
strictions on political activity and on
freedom of the press.
Restrictions will remain, how
ever, the Domei broadcast said,

Besides cutting down the restric-
tions on expression and assembly,
the cabinet instituted research

dered schools opened again by Sep
tember IS.
The education order will return
to the classrooms some 10000, 900
japanese students, who were mobil-
lied for war services during the last
four months of the war. Only those
whose schools were destroyed will
be temporarily exempt and those
only until new quarters can be
found. Students who are engaged
in agriculture will remain ION the
job until their classes are ready to
begin.
In the education order, the min
istry observed that most of the avail
able text books were compiled dur

to "live up to the spirit of the i'm

Pearl Harbor inquiry tollo,U:
Information was received by the
War Department on December 6,
194l, as to what the Japanese reply
to the settlement overtures of the
United States would be and that
this reply indicated an immediate
severance of diplomatic relations,
There is no dispute, however, that
Gen. Marshall did not get this in
formation until the morning of De-
cember 7th.
An officer, then connected with
Co., War Department, testified be-
fore the Army Pearl Harbor Board
that on December 6 he personally
delivered this message to the Sec
retary of the general staff for the
chief of staff, also to the executive
officer for the chief of the War
Plans Division, and to the executive
officer for the assistant chief of

In the additional investigation
conducted by Col. Clausen subse-

A plea for early passage of un-

fits for thousands of Federal en-
ployes who will be laid off as the
Government gets back to a
peacetime level was made to the
Senate Finance Committee today
by Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of

He appeared as the first witness
on his bill, which would give such
protection to 100000 Federal work.
ers. in addition to augmenting with
Federal funds the payments already
authorized by State laws for unem-
ployed workers in private industry.
Senator Kilgore urged all Federal
workers be paid on uniform basis,
using the framework of the District
Unemployment Compensation Act
as a yardstick, instead of rating
each Government employe accord
ing to the law of the State in which
he is working. Under the Kilgore
bill the Federal Government would
bear the whole cost of payments to
its own employees while they are
finding other jobs.
For private industrial workers, the
bill aims to supplement State laws,
in order to bring benefits up to a
national maximum level of $25 a
week for 26 weeks of a year.
A table with the bill showed the
special provisions covering dis
charged Federal employees would
range from $40 to $25 a week, de-
pending on their salary at the time
of separation.
Senator Kilgore emphasized his
bill does not mean every worker in
private industry would get $25
week. i,
"An applicant must be available
for work as now required under
State law and must have earned
wages high enough SO that the per-
centage rate yields at least this fig

Committee informed Brig. Gen.
Elliott Roosevelt today that it is

the committees statement to Gen.
Roosevelt at Beverley Hills, Calf.
Gen. Roosevelt, who recently went

request, wired the committee yester-
day requesting that the full report
of the study of his business affairs
be made public Immediately, saying
that continued speculation and
erroneous stories can only further

"As soon as we complete our
