tory Loan. The success OF this
seventh war loan Will furnish
needed dollars TO allay the suffer-
ings OF countless war victims. feed
and clothe the hungry. aid in hous-
ing the homeless. and enable many
OF our veterans to return to school
Their education Is already costing
approximately 100000 900 a year.
This figure is based on the num-
ber now taking advantage of the
educational benefits of the CT Bill
of Rights. Hundreds of veterans
are being discharged daily-jobs
are not 40 plentiful as previously
and we may expect many of these
veterans to return TO school, ac-
cording to the Veterans Admins
tration.
For each year a veteran spends
in school. the estimated cost, ex-
elusive Of administrative expense.
will average around 81 900 per year.
The total cost will be great, but
not as great as the debt we owe
these ex-fighting men.
You as a citizen can help send
these veterans back TO school un-
der the law your Congress voted
back in 1914. Every dollar you
lend the government in the Vic
tory Loan will work toward the
end of making these heroes of a
thousand conflicts self-sustaining
equipped TO meet the problems of
life In the years to come.
The law applies to all veterans
discharged under conditions other
than dishonorable. and so long as
veterans are eligible. there is no
control exercised over their choice
OF school or course. The only re-
quirement of the Veterans Admin
istration Is that the school be rec
ognized by the state In which 1t
operates, and that the veteran be
acceptable by the school as to edu-
cationRl requirements Some con-
ditlons for education are different
under this law. however, than the
law which provides for the rehab-
ilitation of disabled veterans. The
main limitation Is that men over
25 years of age at the time of their
| entrance into service must demon
strate that their education was
interefered with. interrupted or
impeded by such entry into serv-
ice. while man under 25 need not
demonstrate this fact.
To be eligible for education or
training under the CT Bill, a vet
eran must meet the following re-
quirements:
He must have served in the ac-
tive military or naval service on or
after September 16. 1910. and prior
to the termination Of the present
war;
Must have served 80 days or
more, or II less than 90 days, must
have been discharged for disability
incurred in or aggravated by serv-
ice; and
Must have been discharged or
released from the service under
conditions other than dishonorably
Any man who meets these simple
conditions Is eligible for one year
OF education or training at an ap-
proved educational institution or
industrial establishment with his
necessary expenses met in part or
in full by the government. This
education or training may be what
is designated in the law as of re
fresher or retraining type"

Attack kAIreudyOn
As He VoinIy Tried
ToSee Emperor
BY ]. A. O'LEARY and
CARTER BROOKE JONES.

President Roosevelt's final ap-
peal to Emperor Hirohito the
night before the Pearl Harbor
attack was held up in the Japa-
nese post Office for nearly II
hours, so that it could not be
delivered until a few hours be-
fore the bombs began to fall on
the Hawaiian Islands, it was
revealed to the congressional in
vestigating committee today by
former American Ambassador
Joseph C. Grew.
Mr.. Grew also charged that when
he finally got Mr.. Roosevelt's mes
sage to Foreign Minister Shigenon
Togo he was denied specific re-
quest that he be allowed to present
1t personally to the Emperor.
The committee listened attentive
1y as the gray-haired diplomat un-
folded the story of those dramatic
last hours in Tokyo.
He took the stand after former
Secretary of State Cordell Hull had
told the committee that prior
to the attack he got the impression
that "the Japanese not only wanted
to tell us where to keep our feet
In the Pacific, but wanted us to
move it into the Atlantic"
Japs Hell Bent" for War.
MFR. Hull also testified that the
Japanese were hell bent" for war
in November, 1941, and had re-
jected 10-point American note
which, he said, any peace-seeking
nation would have been delighted
to accept" He referred to the final
American note to Japan on Novem-
Der 26, which has been called by
some an ultimatum which brought
on the attack. 49,.
Mr.. Grew said that on the eve
ming of December 7, Japanese time
Saturday night, December 6, in
Washington he was listening to a
San Francisco radio broadcast when
he got the first inkling President
Roosevelt would send a plea to the
Emperor. A little later a short dis
patch came from Mr.. Hull, inform
ing him the Presidents appeal was
on its way in code.
"The long telegram containing the
message did not reach the American
Embassy until 1890 p.m," Mr..
Grew continued, although q nota-
ton on it showed it had reached
the Japanese post ONCE About noon,
m hour after it was sent from
washington"
Allowing for the time taken to
decode 1t, Mr.. Grew said he handed
1t to the Japanese Foreign Minister
about 12::15 am. December Japa-
nese time) "and / asked for an
audience with the Emperor to pre-
sent 1t in person"
Received Call at 7 AM.
Togo began to discuss with him
the question of an audience, and
finally said, Il will present your re-
quest to the throne"
Mr.. Grew returned to the Embassy
and said he was awakened at am
by the ringing of the telephone at
his bedside. 1t was Togo's secretary
informing him the Foreign Minister
wanted him to come over.
The secretary claimed he had beer
trying to reach Mr. Grew since
am. Mr.. Grew told the secretary he
was surprised at that, because the
telephone was at his bedside.
when I reached the Foreign
Minister'S Office" continued Mr.
Grew. HE had a document in his
hand, which he slapped on the table
and said, Here is the Emperors re-
ply to the President.

he had asked for a personal au-
dience. There was further converse
