He felt this would be by air attack

perhaps much farther from Hawaii.
Pearl Harbor, with its docks and

an air attack" Gen. Drum added.

The only way to meet such an at

into action.
The papers placed in the commit
tee record showed that the adjutant
general replied to Gen. Drum April
2, 1885, agreeing with his conclusions.
The adjutant general agreed that
Pearl Harbor was vulnerable and
the defense of the Island of Oahu
must be primarily against hostile
seaborne planes"
The letter added that it was
doubtful whether available planes
were sufficient to discover the hos
tile fleet and stop such an attack
The correspondence on file, with
its detailed account of the situation,
was, in effect. a blueprint of the
japanese attack which might-and
did-occur, Mr.. Cooper suggested.
Not exactly blueprint, Gen Miles
replied, but certainly an outline OF

SALE OF p0ppIES
benefit VETERANS
OF Z WORLD WARS

Mrs. Al Zenger, Treasurer Of AL
ford John Bradford Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary explain
ed in a statement today how the
sale CT the memorial peoples on
Poppy Day next Saturday brings
aid to the living victims of both
World Wars as well as honoring the
dead
Mrs. Zenger, who is one of the
many volunteers who will distribute
the peoples here on Saturday, said:
Everyone who buys a poppy from
an Auxiliary worker should know
what becomes of the money he con-
tributes and everyone should re-
alize the ever-increasing need for
these contributions as this second
World War goes grimly on, taking
its toll Of lives and limbs.
The sale is carried out entirely by
volunteers, SO that every penny that
is received goes directly to the re-
lief Of disabled veterans and the
families of the dead and disabled.
These men and their families
sre the chief concern of the Legion
and Auxiliary. 1t is fer their sake
that the volunteers are SO eager to
sell their peoples, with the hope
that the dimes and dollars contri-
buted will help to make their lot in
life somewhat easier.
The government spends billions
CT dollars to try to bring adequate
aid to the disabled veterans and
their families, but the Legion and
Auxiliary are able to bring their
personal attention and understand
ing to the many cases to which
they bring relief. This is a big
factor in rehabilitation and in
keeping families together until the
veteran is able to return home and
help in their support.

Resumption of Column

Resumption OF Soiurnu
Due to the five week recess
of Congress and the fact thai We
have just returned from a two
months European survey trip as
the chairman of the Postwar Eco
nomic Policy and Planning Com
mittee, this column was discon-
tinued. But now that the Con-

happy to have our feet back on
good old American soil, we are
resuming our weekly column
from Washington.
The Congress
The Congress reconvened on
September 5. However, as we
anticipated, very little legislat-
ing has been done. Outside of
passing a bill to reduce taxes,
much along the lines of the rec
concentrations of the Postwar
Policy Committee, there has been
no outstanding legislation. There
is considerable demand now for
some legislation which would
bring about a cessation of strikes
in the labor field which are so
adversely affecting our reconver-
sion program. President Truman,
in spite of his recent Tennessee
speech in which he referred to
these strikes as being of a passing
nature, is much disturbed about
this situation. Many members of
Congress r likewise disturbed.
But, frankly. we see no chance
of any fortnight legislation deal
ing with this subject being enact
ed by the Congress. We made
many valiant but unsuccessful
efforts to do something about
strikes in war Industries when
our boys at the front were suf-
fering because of lack of war
materials, but no adequate legis-
