Atom Bomb E|evafes
Role Of Sea Power,
Nimitz Declares
By the Associated Press.

Os Ahc hSsOCldleu
PEARL HARBOR, Sept. Pad
miral Nimitz said yesterday he was
convinced that development of the
atomic bomb had emphasized the
role of sea power as major
weapon of war.
In his first press conference since
fleet headquarters were re-estab-
lished here from Guam, the admiral
declared the use of the atomic bomb
was made possible by the capture
of bases near Japan by sea power
Commenting on reports that in
the future atomic bombs might be
guided from Alaska and the West
Coast by rockets, Admiral Nimitz
said he was skeptical of the &C
curacy of such devices.
For many years." Admiral Nimitz
said. 81 believe the use of the
atomic bomb will depend on planes,
and planes will depend on sea power
to take and hold bases from which
they can carry the bombs"
Admiral Nimitz said his main
tasks and the reasons for returning
the headquarters from Guam were
demobilization of personnel and the
consolidation of his own staff.
The admiral gave assurances that
every effort was being made to
speed the return of personnel to
the West Coast, and that the Navy
recognized its obligation to meet the
desires of the American people and
Congress to expedite demobiliza-
ton.
Admiral Nimitz said he had read
In the newspapers he would appear
before Congress early in October,
but he could not comment because
he was governed by orders of the

Democrats Hopeful
OF Ending Inquiry on
Elliott Roosevelt Debts
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Democratic members of the House
Ways and Means Committee under
took today to force through some
plan for disposing of the Elliott
Roosevelt financial inquiry.
The committee wants to finish up
the investigation and proceed to
peacetime tax cutting and jobless
pay proposals. After a huddle in
the Office of Chairman Doughton,
the majority members seemed conf
dent they had way to override the
opposition.
The conference followed defeat Of
three resolutions on the case yester-
day.
The Democrats first defeated a
Republican proposal to call Mr..
Roosevelt and four others as wit
nesses in open committee sessions.
The others are John Hartford, head
of the Great Atlantic e. Pacific Tea
Co., who loaned Elliott 100000;
Jesse Jones, former Commerce Sec
retary, who repeatedly settled the
loan for $4,000, and Elliott's two
partners in the development of a
Texas radio chain.
The Committee then rejected two
motions from the Democratic side.
One would have sent the investi-
cation record to the House, con-
curing in a recommendation by
counsel for the Internal Revenue
Bureau that Mr. Hartford be allowed
a bad debt deduction in his 1912
income tax on the $4,000 he lost
in the transaction.
! The other would have transmitted
the record to the House with a
notation that the committee does
not challenge" statements submitted
in writing by Elliott, Mr.. Hartford,
Mr.. Jones and others. This would
have left the Revenue Bureau free
to rule on the bad debt deduction.

Radar Device Fooled
Enemy Attack Planes
Ev the Associated F1ess.

Ey the Associated FEess.
BEDFORD. Ind, Sept. 22-Enemy
airmen attacking American positions
during the final stages of the war
were fooled into believing their ra-
dar equipment was faulty by means
of the Army's ROM (Radar Counter
Measure) gadget, James Guyton, ra-
dio engineer for the Delco radio
division of General Motors Corp.
declared last night.
Mr. Guyton said the ROM created
q noise similar to static on a stock
radio in the radar sets of attacking
airmen, disrupting the flow of beams
to and from their sets and causing
them to think the radar was broken.
He said the gadget was so per cent
effective in causing enemy planes to
miss bombing and strafng targets.
Mr.. Guyton told of instances in
which ROM sets in Yank planes had
caused whole enemy squadrons to
turn off their radar and attempt
missions without it.
