Innocent Weather Message.
Mr.. mitchell said investigators
learned that on December 4 q jap
anese listener picked up message
which resembled the code-it re-
ferred to the weather. This mes
sage said something about north
wind, cloudy" which would have
meant war with Russia, not with
America or Britain.
Apparently, Mr.. Mitchell ex-
planned, this was an innocent
weather message and not Japanese
code.
At least, there was no. evidence
that 1t was q use Of the code, Mr.
Mitchell indicated.
The Federal Communications
Commission reported, Mr.. Mitchell
added, that after December Z, when
all the normal means Of communi-
cation actually were closed to Ja-
pan, q winds" message was picked
up.
This, however, was not the least

House Republicans
Approve Program
Of Party Detectives
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

By an overwhelming vote the
Republicans of the House today
approved a Republican program
covering the main issues of the day,
Including foreign policy, labor re-
lations, military training, the farm
problem and public welfare.
The program will be considered
by the Republican conference of
the Senate later today, in the ex-
pectation that that group also will
give it approval.
The plan is to submit the pro-
gram also to the Republican Ma
tional Committee which meets in
Chicago Friday What the Re-
publican leaders hope is that they
can show a united front in support
of the document which will be in
the nature of platform upon which
Republicans may run in the con-
gressional elections next year.
Await Senate Action.
The details of the program will
not be announced, House Minority
Leader Martin said, until the COP
Senators have acted. The Policy
Committee of the House Republic
ans, which drafted the program in
collaboration with the Republican
Steering Committee of the Senate,
was empowered to make minor
| changes suggested by various House
members.
If the Senate Republicans should
fail to approve the program, Mr..
Martin said it still would be issued
as a document of the House Re-
publicans.
They have acted finally on the
program" he said.
Representative Halleck of 1ndi-
ana is chairman of the Policy Com
mittee.' The other committee men,
bers are Representatives Wiggles-
worth of Massachusetts,, Arends of
Illinois, Brown of Ohio, Cole of New
York, Hope of Kansas and Holmes
of Massachusetts,.
1,200-Word Document.
Representative Martin and Hal
leck both are planning to attend the
meeting of the Republican National
Committee in Chicago, and Mr.. Hal
leck probably will submit the pro-
gram to the committee. The docu-
ment is about 1900 words long.
The proposal for a Republican
program, approved by House and
Senate Republicans and by the Ma
tional Committee, as an interim
platform for the party, is a new
departure. In 1912 the House Re-
publicans adopted program of
their own in preparation for the
congressional elections of that year.
Senate Republicans discussed the
statement at a conference yester-
day.
One member who was present yes
terday said the Senators agreed on
a foreign policy plank that would
criticize what he described as too
many international commitments
made in secret.
Taft Cool 10 Idea.
Senator Taft of Ohio said there
was considerable opposition to the
timing" of the entire statement.
Some elements in the party. he told
reporters, believe the declaration of
principle should be put of until the
matters involved are mora settled.
Senator Taft said he personally
had never been much for the idea"
of issuing the state ment, but House
members and national committee
men wanted to do something before
the party acts formally on another
program in 1948.

Would Strike at Profiteer.
The new authority he requested,
Mr.. Bowles said, would clearly
strike only at the profiteer and the
fly-by- might operator"
Members OF the American Bank
ers' Association appeared as wit
nesses today in connection with an
other low-cost housing measure, the
Taft Wagner -Ellender bill. One
witness objected to the Federal
credit features of the bill on the
ground there is ample private credit
already available.
| The measure would authorize
about 81 900 600, 900 for public hous-
ing and home building advances to
private industry and sets up per-
manent overall Federal Housing
Office.
Material, Labor Shortages.
Frank G.. Addison, jr., chairman
of the ABA Committee on Federal
Legislation, told the Senate Bank
i ing Committee that material and
labor shortages were the present
'bottleneckS" in housing construc-
ton, not credit and guaranty devices
dealt with In the bill.
while it Is true that we have q
housing shortage" Mr.. Addison
stated, "the way to solve it is not
through measures which would en-
courage inflationary forces by in
creasing the size of the Government
debt.
This bill would ultimately add
over $4,000, 900 900 to our Federal
debt, but it still does nothing to in
crease the supply Of building mate-
lrials or to divert such materials to
home construction. Neither does 1t
increase the supply Of skilled labor. .

cued five days later. All the others
apparently were drowned.
The court sustained an objection
from the defense that the happen
ings after the crew jumped into the
water was irrelevant to the case, the
court ruling that the objection would
be sustained until the prosecution
had laid grounds for charge OF in
efficiency made against Capt
McVay.
Not on Zigzag Course.
Comdr. Redmayne confirmed pre-
vious testimony that about 800 crew.
men escaped into the water from the
sinking vessel The Navy announced
only 316 survivors were rescued after
they had been in the water four and
five days
The ship, he said, was not follow
ing a zigzag course at the time 1t was
torpedoed.
About one hour after he arrived
on the bridge for his watch, the
engineer said, he was told by the
navigator that report had been
received that a Navy patrol plane
and destroyer escort were search
ing for submarines In an area
through which the cruiser would
pass about am. the next day.
Immediately after the explosion,
Comdr. Redmayne said, he went be-
low decks to his battle station, but
received no order while there to
abandon ship. When he climbed
out of the engine room to report
to the bridge on the extent of the
damage, Comdr. Redmayne said, he
found the ship listing at 30 degrees
and stepped off into the water.
He said he had received no word
to reduce the size of the engine
crews or to order them to the deck.
Uncertain on Radio Power.
Replying to questions from the
president of the general court
martial, the witness declared that
there were lights in the main engine
room, but he was uncertain whether
power was available to the bridge
or the radio room He said there
was no communication between the
bridge and the engine room.
Two emergency Diesel-powered
generators were available in event
of a power failure, he said, one of
which was designd to operate auto
matically in steering the vessel
when the power failed.
1t is expected that the cruiser S
bugler will also be summoned to
determine if Capt. McVay issued an
order to abandon ship. >
Officer Heard No Order.
No such order was heard by 1t.
q. g. Charles B. McKissick, a sur
vivor who had been a watch officer
He testified yesterday that while
working on the bow deck trying to
stem the fire, he heard no COM
mands given to abandon ship. He
admitted an order may have been
issued and he might not have heard
it. He finally ordered his crew to
jump overheard when the ship de-
veloped 50-degree list.
Began Issuing Life Jackets.
Testifying on the possibility that
an abandon ship" order was not
heard in the forward part of the
ship, 1t. McKissick declared that
Immediately after he arrived on
deck from his room, he began di-
recting the issuance of kapok life
jackets to the men, aided by a fash
light.
II heard some one yell from the
bridge: For Gods sake put out that
light. There's an enemy submarine
around" he declared.
He testified, also, that while he
was on deck, a few hours before
the explosions, he saw a dispatch
warning of the possibilities of an
enemy submarine contact near the
cruisers course He estimated the
contact was rs to 100 miles south

Mr.. Mitchell had planned to go
into the winds" message later in
the inquiry, but he explained that
it had been necessary to advance
this phase because Gen. George G.
Marshall is being called tomorrow,
earlier than planned. The retir-
ing Chief of Staff must leave soon
for his new post as President Tru-
mans personal envoy to China. Mr..
Mitchell promised, however, to go
more thoroughly into the matter
later.
