have been discussed, designed to
expedite the inquiry, but that no
agreement had been worked out.
Authority Expires Soon.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan, who has questioned wit
nesses at length, said the hearings
could be shortened considerably if
committee members could be given
all the remaining exhibits in time
to study them before they are
brought up in open hearing.
The committee will have to
reach some decision this week on a
request to the House and Senate to
extend the life of the investigation,
since Congress will recess for the
holidays, and the original authority
expires January 3.
There were further indications
last night from informed sources
that Chairman Barkley will remain
on the committee. He served notice
Friday he would have to make
choice within a few days between
his service on the committee and
his duties as majority floor leader
of the Senate
When it reconvenes tomorrow,
the committee will turn from the
Army to the Navy side of the Pearl
Harbor story, with Admiral T. S..
Wilkinson, who was director of
naval intelligence in 1941, as the
next witness.
Attorney Mitchell recalled yester-
day that there has been much testi-
mony as to why more of the in
formation being intercepted in
Washington was not supplied to
field commanders. He asked Gen.
Gerow if it would be customary in
Army procedure for field COM
manders to demand the original
information, on which orders to
them were based, to evaluate it
themselves.

Downey. One is an overall 15.9
wage increase for Federal employees,
the same percentage increases
granted Government employees last
July. This is based on the formula
OF granting a 40 per cent increase
on the first $1,000 earned by an
employe, 20 per cent on the next
s2,400, and 10 per cent on any
amount earned above that.
The other proposal being con-
sidered is an overall 17.3 wage boost,
based on 40 per cent increase be-
ing granted on the first $1,000
earned, and 30 per cent on all
amounts over that figure.
This was the amendment offered
by Senator Downey Thursday and
.the one which he later withdrew
However, the amendment was with
drawn for strategical purposes and
may be resubmitted tomorrow.
Groopsed as Substitute.
Senator Downey withdrew his
amendment after group of Re-
publican members demanded tha,
the new proposal be recommitted fol
further study. They stressed that
If the chairman of the committee
on his own initiative withdrew the
bill and substituted a new one, II
would be wise to refer the new pro.
.posal to members of the committee

think If an oficer had insisted on
that information he would probably
have been relieved of that COM
mand."
Mr.. Mitchell then recalled AM
earlier exhibit in which Pearl Har-
Dor was described as an impregnable
fortress, and asked Gen. Gerow, "Is
any garrison, however powerful, safe
from attack If the garrison is asleep
at the switch?"
Gen. Gerow replied 1t is not.
Discussing the fact that the Ha-
waiian command had been told in
the alert message from Washington
that the United States wanted
Japan to commit the first overt act,
Mr.. Mitchell inquired what Amer
ican forces would have done If they
had detected the Jap carrier fleet
approaching Pearl Harbor that
morning.
No Restriction on Action.
Gen. Gerow said he thought the
commander would have and should
have attacked, because such a task
force would have jeopardized the
defense of Hawaii. The general
pointed out that the warning mes
sage told the Hawaiian command
it was not being restricted to q
course of action that might teop-
ardize its defense.
Capt. Patrick Ford, assigned as
counsel to Maj. Gen. Walter c..
Short, the Hawaiian commander In
1941, sent up the following question
to be put to Gen. Gerow:
How should Gen. Short have
worded his reply to make clear
to you that his alert was against
sabotage only?"
Gen Gerow replied that If it had
read "alerted against sabotage only"
it would have been perfectly clear.
The reply which Gen. Short sent
on November % to Gen. Marshall's
warning of the previous day read:
Report department alerted to pre-
vent sabotage. Liaison with Navy"

Senator Byrd introduced his amend
ment Friday. Senator Downey can
now introduce his new proposal as
a substitute for the Byrd amend
ment, designed to seek a compro-
mise on the original 20 per cent
proposal.
1t has not been definitely decided,
however. whether the 15.9 or the
l7.3 will be offered as a substitute
amendment.
Senator Downey was assured yes
terday that his bill will be called
up when the Senate convenes to-
morrow at noon. For the past week
the Californian has sought final
Senate action on the measure, but
other legislation has received pref
erence over it. However, the first
deficiency appropriation bill of 1916
has been disposed of and the Senate
agreed to give the Downey pay bill
the right Of way tomorrow.
It is expected that a group of
Senators will try to sidetrack the
bill, either by motion to recommit
or by failing to attend in hopes of
preventing quorum. Senator
Downey has charged that a substan-
tial group of Senators want the bill
delayed Indefinitely due to their
fear that any Senate action might
be interpreted as a national wage
pattern.

Mr.. Roosevelt handed to the JAP
anese ambassador on August IT
1941, was a somewhat watered-
down version" of the original paral-
lei warning discussed with Mr.
Churchill.
An earlier draft of the parallel
note suggested that any further en-
croachment by Japan in the South
west Pacific would produce situa-
ton in which the United States
would be compelled to take counter
measures, even though these might
result in conflict between the two
countries.
Note Cabled to London.
The questioning of Mr.. Welles
brought out that when Mr.. Roose-
velt saw the Japanese Ambassador
on August II, he gave an oral state
ment that made no reference to war
| but served notice on Japan that in
the event of further aggression, the
United States would take steps tc
safeguard the rights and interests
of American nationals and toward
insuring the safety and security OF
the United States.
The new exhibit, cabled to the
Embassy in London and marked
secret from the President fol
Churchill" stated:
"On August II, I sent for the
japanese Ambassador and the Secre-
tary of State and I received him
I made to him statement covering
the position of this Government
with respect to the taking by Japan
! Of further steps in the direction OF
military domination by force along
the lines of the proposed statement
such as you and I had discussed
The statement. I made to him was
no less vigorous than and substan-
TALLY similar to the statement we
had discussed.
Envoy Renews Request.
"The Ambassador renewed the
request made by him to the Sec
retary Of State in regard to the
resumption Of conversations. I re-
piled by reviewing the japanese
governments action in actively pur-
suing a course of conquest and in
inspiring the Japanese press to at
tack this Government. I dwelt on
the principles of peaceful, lawful
and just international relations
which this Government has EN-.
phasized, and I suggested that il
the japanese government is pre-.
pared to readjust it's position anc
embark upon a peaceful program
this Government would be prepared
to resume the exploratory CONVEX
sations and that before undertaking
the resumption of those converse.
tions We felt that 1t would be help
full to have a clear statement of the
japanese governments attitude ane

Senator Lucas said, where he got
the secret information which he
said he had and for what purpose
he obtained it,"
At the start of the hearings last
month, Representative Gearhart,
Republican, of California, asked
counsel to investigate a report that
the Boise sighted the Japanese at
tacking fleet during the first week
of December, 1941.
Gerhard Gesell, assistant counsel,
laid before the committee yesterday
the log of the Boise from November
Is to December 7, the day Pearl
Harbor was attacked. 1t disclosed
that during that period the Boise
was escorting convoy to the Philip
pines, and encountered two strange
ships on different occasions.
The first was on the night of No.
vember 27. The ship was darkened.
The Boise challenged it and got no
reply. The next night it spotted an
other darkened ship, and the crew
of the Boise took battle stations
The log described this second ship
as a japanese vessel of the Itago
type. Mr. Gesell interrupted to point
out that early in the hearings Rear
Admiral T. B. Inglis testified there
were no cruisers of the Itago type
in the task force that hit Pearl
Harbor.
Recalls Earlier Testimony.
Mr.. Gesen then read a statement
from the Navy Department explain
ing that the position of the Boise
at that time was not less than 400
miles from the probable location of
the Jap task force moving on Pearl
Harbor.
There have been reports not only
that the Boise saw a task force, but
that some of the officers disagreed
over reporting it because the cruiser
was observing radio silence.
The new Roosevelt memorandum
served to recall the earlier testimony
of former Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles that the warning
