Jig Is Up
for Jis-19,
Probe Shows

WASHINGTON. DEC. - -0n
- The. jig is up for the Navy'1
"Jig-1o," but Pearl Harbcr In
vestigators can't agree about the
effects of code-cracking disclo-
sures on future espionage activi-
ties.
Senator Lucas '(D-Ill) said
today he believes the Senate
House Inquiry Committees ae-
tiop in barring the secret that
Americans have been reading
German, Japanese and other No.
tons confidential messages "hao
given us = diplomatic setbock
that can't be measured"
Lucas said the greatest effect
will be in the loss to this coun-
try Of information shout the &C.
tivities OF other nations, who he
said are bound to change their
codes.
But Rep. Gearhart (R-Calif)
told a reporter he thinks code
breaking will continue 'as it al-
ways has In the past" he con-
ceded, however, that Il Is likely
almost every nation In the world
nready has changed it, codes.
The reason the jig u up for
the Navy's "Jig-19" Is that the
Japanese aren't sending any
more what they thought were
highly confidential messages %
their Nationals.
One Of the systems BY which
the Navy broke down these unee-
sages into Ineligible English
was called "Jig-10," according %
testimony Of Capt. L. r. Stafford,
formerly in charge Of the COM
munications division. The toeti.
mony has been placed In The
record Of the Senate-FIouse com.
mittee, now in recess until D
week from today.
Stafford said In previous in
vestigation conducted by Adm.
H. X. Hewitt that IN intercop.
ton unit at Corrsgidor had
been intercepting messages IN
the japanese purple code and
other diplomatic systems for
several years and continued to
do that up to and including Dee.
4, 1941."
Stafford said there was extern
dve exchange Of information be-
tween Corrsgidor and WasSlinS-
ton ION the purple machine and
on what we called the Jig-1o
system and other diplomatic
systems, but Pearl HarbQe was
|Aot addrs1ped IN 49, nss-
sages." Y. (. i'''
The fantastic story 81 how NE
American experts built u ma
chine that duplicated the Japa-
nese code decrypters already has
been told the committed.
Saftord's testimony that the
Pearl Harbor unit was left out
Of these messages supported in
formation given the Congres-
sional investigators that Adm.
Husband =. K:mmel, then Pa
cific fleet commander, did not
have available to him the de-
coded Japanese messages that
Admiral Thomas G. Hart. Asia
tic fleet commander. saw 1t

Let's Talk Peace

To The Butler County Press:
There are always some who tax their
brains for scheme to spend the peo-
Piles money for them. It's very wise
for cities and towns to have City Parks,
Swimming Pools and Play Grounds.
But most who produce, (making those
things possible), don't have the time
or inclination to enjoy them. This is
the greatest spending age of the CEN
tury.
The war lords, brass hats and ivory
heads, have forgotten peace, but want
huge army. Placing chip on our
shoulder for other nations This seems
to me antagonistic and great expense
of no account, it seems. Let's talk and
act peace.
We should know from past expert
ence. If there ever was time for care
full spending, both public and private, y
is now. This public spending" will
put most of US in the "dog-house".
We will be like "Pat", who could
buy potatoes in ireland" at 25 cents
per bushel, but didn't have the 25 cents
"He says, not more than half the
lies told on the Irish are true.

developed. Some of the wealth created
by labor and the farmer is being un-
duly and unsoundly absorbed by some
one else to the injury of a stable eco
nomic condition.
1t is of little avail to freeze wages
and prices if somewhere else in the
national economic system others alb
sorb that part of the national wealth
created each year which should go TO
the primary producers.
The worker most properly will de-
fend his standard of living which is
based upon the real wage he receives,
the purchasing power of the dollars
in his pay envelope. There can be no
national prosperity in any real sense
unless the wage earner's real wage is
maintained, and for that matter in
creased. Aside from maintaining the
real wage, to permit a steady increase
in prices, establishes an exceedingly
dangerous condition to national well
fare.

GOOD APPOINTMENT

DR.. John R. Steelman, former direc-
tor of the Cancellation Service, U. S.
Department of Labor, has been named
to the White House staff. 1t is not yet
clear just what his full duties will be;
but broadly speaking, he will advise
and assist the President and Admins
tration with respect to labor, industry
and related mountaineering chief
ly, labor relations.
Appointment of DR.. Steelman is ex-
pected to benefit not only the Admins
tration but the general public. He un-
derstands labor relations probably as
we'll as any man in the country. He
has the essential knowledge of labor
and industry; and of great Importance,
he commands the respect and conf
dence of his fellowmen in all walks
of life.
DR.. Steelman made fine record as
head of the Cancellation Service and
labor and industry will be pleased that
he has been given further opportun-
ity to render outstanding public SER
vice.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

committees -. The general policy of
the American Military Government has
been to permit union organization with
reluctance, and all too often to refuse
permission and suppress meetings.
This policy has stifled the rebirth of
democracy and prevented the elimina-
tion of Nazis."
The AFL stresses the obvious fact
that German unions should be active
ly encouraged and recalls that the
Potsdam Agreement gave clear di-
rective that the organization of work.
ers in free trade unions should be per-
mitted.
"If our government wants to achieve
the purpose for which our boys fought
and died." the federation adds, "it
should not only permit but actively
encourage the organization of German
workers in unions and cooperatives.
Bona fide union anti-Nazi committees
should be fully endorsed by the occu-
patton authorities so they can func-
tion effectively. Union funds, which
were seized by the Nazi labor front,
should be returned to the unions
Social insurance funds should be re-
stored and the social security laws
effective before the Nazi regime
should again be put into operation
In ending the discussion of this par
ticular aspect of occupation policy, the
federation survey says: "The AFL, the
largest and most representative labor
organization in this country, should
have the opportunity to send repre-
sentatives to Germany, to work under
the Allied Control Council. They coulo
advise and encourage German workers
in democratic union organization ano
greatly speed the work of denazifica-
ton"

STRIKES AND RECONvERSION

1t is the established policy of the
American Federation of Labor to ne
gotiate wages and other conditions
around the conference table and te
use the strike weapon only as last
resort. Thousands of AFL members
have proved in the last few weeks
that this method is effective and con.
structive. They are at work at higher
wages today, and their plants are
making speedy progress in reconver-
sion.
President Green of the AFL has
urged the full use of peaceful methods
in the settlement of disputes. In this
connection the AFL monthly economic
survey points out:
Extreme action at this time will
arouse public prejudice and harm la
boris cause, and it certainly will delay
reconversion and full production on
which we must depend for jobs"

Camden Schools Awarded
Army Machinery

Camden, Ohio.-The Camden Board
of Education met Monday night with
Major John s. Hoffman, representative
of the Army Air Corps, in an effort
to equip a Vocational Training shop
from the excess army property.
The local board made application
for machinery that would provide the
Camden schools with one of the most
complete school shops in this section.
Although the equipment would exceed
value of over $2O,0O0.00, the cost
to the school will only be the trans
portation. The application is subject
to items available, but the Board OF
Education has been given the assur-
ance that they will receive almost
every item applied for.

Allied occupation policy in Germany
is coming in for increasingly hostile
criticism. Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin of Great Britain recently made
it clear that the British are Mortified
by the specter Of German misery and
starvation now and this winter and
admitted it would have been better
if Germany had not been zoned.
Plenty of other people were Of the
same way of thinking as Bevin when
the decision to divide Germany among
the American, British, Russian and
French forces was first announced
and was hailed by SO many of our deep
thinkers as a decision inspired by
Heaven.
Dorothy Thompson has blasted the
whole German occupation policy in her
syndicated column and thousands of
her readers undoubtedly endorse what
she said.
Nor is the most representative body
of American organized workers-the
American Federation of Labor-satis-
fled with the occupation policy. The
AFL asserts constructive policy is
needed for Germany, thereby of course
saying the present policy is not con-
structive.
Elimination of Nazi power and in
fluence from the life of the German
people cannot be accomplished by an
army of occupation alone, the AFL
points out, urging that the German
labor movement must be encouraged
as German unionists can take leader
ship in rebuilding democracy.
"Yet very often," the AFL charges
in it's monthly survey, "the American
Military Government has refused to
authorize union organization or to heed
the suggestions of union anti-Nazi
