Japanese Version OF Attack Ready
 Probers Express Dissatisfaction
 With Prepored Statement of Story

Washington, Nov. IT - (UP) -- The Pearl Harbor Investigating committee expected today to get the Japanese version of the sneak at tack which launched the Pacific war.
 Rear Admiral T. B. Inglis, chief of naval intelligence, was ready to tell the story, drawn from captured Japanese documents, as soon as cross examination on his prelim- mary recital begun two days ago was completed. Inglis was ready yesterday but the cross examination took too long.
 Committee members already have received copies of Inglis' prepared statement. Sens Homer Ferguson, R., Mich, and Owen Brewster, R., Me. told reporters they were dis satisfied because it is unsupported by any records presented to the committee" They want to examine the original Japanese documents upon which the Inglis statement is based.
 Republican members of the com mittee-Ferguson and Reps. Bert rand w. Gearhart, Calif., and Prank B. Keefe, Wis. - took up most of the second days session with eX- animation of Inglis and Col. Ser nard Thielen of the War depart ment general staff.

 Sales Halted

Hartford, Conn, Nov 17-cUP) Sales of heavy cream in Connec- ticut will be halted Sunday in an effort to relieve "the present acute milk shortage" State MIX Admin istrator Donald O. Hammerberg said today.
 The order was effective until Dec. 3l. unless ended sooner by Hammerberg. and it was hoped that by that time, more milk would be available.
 Hammerberg said that the ban of sale of cream containing more than l9 per cent butterfat was ex- pected to increase fluid milk sup plies by inducing out-of state pro- dueers to ship milk into the state instead of cream. The recent lifting of federal restrictions of sales of creams and cheese and the reduc- tion of ration points for butter have increased the national demand for fluid milk and helped divert fluid milk from this area. Hammerberg | said.

CentroIists Crack Sino Greet WuII'
Government Troops Move on Mukden;
 Reds Moy Pull Rails

Chungking, Nov. -UP)-Chi- neSe government - troops poured through the Great Wall into east ern Manchuria today and advanced almost unopposed along the coastal railway toward Mukden.
 Communist forces defending Shanhaikwan. eastern anchor of the Great Wall, fled to avoid en- circlement after a Nationalist col lmn slipped through an unguarded passt yesterday at Chiu-Men, eight miles to the north.
 Gen. Tu Li-Ming, Nationalist commander in North China, an- nounced the surprise breakthrough from his nearby headquarters in the U. s. Marine-held port of Chingwangtao.
 To Secure Coastal Strip
 Tu ordered an immediate advance up the coastal railroad to Mukden, 225 miles to the northeast. There appeared little likelihood, however that the retreating Communists would leave the vital rail line in- tact and observers believed the Ma tionalists would attempt first to secure the adjacent coastal strip to permit reinforcement by sea.
 Tu said his troops were making no attempt to encircle and destroy the Communists around Shanhaikwan in view of the continuing peace ne- gotiations undeh way in Chung king
 Casualties on both sides were de- scribed by Tu as very light. He credited part of the victory to the accidental appearance of flight of American Marine planes from Chingwangtao.
 BreakthrOugh Expected
 The planes were engaged ln 8 routine patrol over the area, but Tu said the Communists mistook them for Nationalist raiders and fled in disorder.
 United Press Staff Correspondent Richard Johnston reported from Chingwangtao that hundreds ol we'll equipped Nationalist troop; were rolling out of the port ir American trucks to exploit tht breakthrough.
