BATAVIA, Java, Dec. 12-(P)-
Fighting flared again at scattered
points throughout Java today and
tension mounted with the arrival
in Tandjong Prick harbor here of
British reinforcements despite a
Nationalist warning that any at
tempts to land more troops would
be met with about resistance.
A convoy of British Indian troops
called for tank support after being
attacked by Indonesians near
Buitenzorg, 80 miles south of the
capital and largest town on the
110-mile supply road to Bandoeng.
Another supply convoy en- route
to Bandoeng was halted by a
roadblock, which was strafed by
supporting British planes. British
patrols took eight prisoners and
captured three japanese aircraft
armed with machineguns.
A supply train escorted by pick
ed Indonesian peace preservation
corps police, however, reached
Bandoeng safely, going through
the same area where earlier this
week another convoy had suffered
IS casualties.

Voice Vote
Favors Bill
OPPOSED BY LABOR
Measure Now Goes To
Senate Which Failed To
Pass Similar Measure

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-R -
Over the bitter opposition Of or
ganized labor, the House today
passed legislation to make unions
subject to the 1884 anti-racketeer
ing act.
By a thmderous voice vote it
sent the measure, written by Rep.
Hobbs DALAI, to the Senate
which failed to act on a similar
bill at its last session.
The bill, opposed by union
spokesman during hearings before
the House Judiciary committee
and fought on the House floor by
union supporters, was drafted to
set aside a 1912 Supreme Court
decision involving prosecution Of
union for alleged violation Of the
ga law.
The court, whose decision was
sharply criticized during debate,
upheld a Circuit Court of Appeals
judgment reversing the conviction
Of a New York local Transfers
Union and rs individuals on
charges Of conspiracy to violate
the anti-ra cketeering act.
The defendants ware accused Of
forcing an-melKber produce
truckers entering New York mar.
kets to pay them Gees. They were
alleged to have violated the 1884
laws ban against interfering with
interstate commerce by violence,
threats, intimidation or coercion.
But the Supreme Court ruled
that the 1884 law did not apply to
the teamsters.
In addition to broadening the
existing law by prohibiting rob.
berry, and 'extortion," the bill
passed by the House eliminates
from the law the clauses:
A stipulation that money. prop
orty or valuable considerations
shall not be deemed to include
vases paid by a bona fide en-
ployer to a bona fide employee"

Navy Row With EBI Halted Check
Of Jap Phone Calls, Pfobers Hea,
By TOM READY
AP Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12--Pearl
Harbor investigators were told to-
day that the Navy, after a row
with the FBI, stopped listening in
on japanese telephone converse.
tons in Hawaii five days before
the Dec. z, 194l attack.
The FBI continued tapping one
japanese Consulate line up to the
moment of the assault, and in this
way learned that the Consul in
Honolulu was destroying his codes.
The tapped line led to the cook S
quarters in the Consulate.
This evidence, placed before the
joint Congressional investigating
committee, was included in a re.
port by 1t. Col. Henry c. Clausen,
assigned by Secretary of War
Stimson to make an independent
inquiry in 1912.
The committee also was in
formed of another longtime
secret-the Navy had reports in
June, 1910, that the japanese
would try to sabotage the Panama
Canal if the fleet moved from its
Hawaii base toward the Atlantic.
The fleet tented an approach to
the canal, but the sabotage didn't
occur.
This testimony was developed by
Rep. Keefe (R-Wiso from a mes
sage sent by Admiral Harold R.
Stark, then chief Of naval opera
tons, to Admiral o. Richardson
commander of the Pacific Fleet.
Both disclosures came as Gen.
George c. Marshall, former chief
of staff, proceeded through his
sixth day as witness.
The wire tapping incident cen
tered around affidavits obtained by
Colonel Clausen, principally from
1t. Donald Wocdrum, naval in
telligenee officer at Pearl Harbor
when the attack came.
Woodrum toll this story:
The FB1 set UP a telephone tap
about Nov. 1, 1941, on a line lead
ing to suspect who occupied
quarters in the came building that

FB1 complained to the company
about that.

with him before protesting to the

The Mexican National Railway

Trains and stations are guarded
