version of why we were whipped IL

Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga,
said tonight that the former CHIEF
of staff-who will be leaving 1ol
China soon as diplomatic success
sor to Patrick J. Hurley-may &c
on the stand Monday afternoon.
One of the Republican commit
tee members, Rep. Bertrand W
Gearhart of California, said ne
would ask the five-star general:
where were you on the night Of
Dec. 6, 1912"
Gearhart said he didn't know
where the staff chief was on the
eve of Pearl Harbor and would like
to find out.
Meanwhile, the running political
fight between Republicans ano
Democrats which has accompanied
the committees investigations
broke out anew with a charge by
Gearhart that the committee is
being given "spoon-fed evidence.
This will not be the last Pear
Harbor investigation Gearhart
predicted, because all we are be
ing given a spoon-fed evidence. We
aren't getting all the facts"
George said the state depart
ment is very anxious to have
Marshall testify as soon as pos.
sible On his version of the events
leading up to the sneak attack Of
Dec. 7, 1941.
He said the committee plans tc
abandon it's regular order of test
mony to accommodate Marshall sc
that he may leave at the earliest
possible moment for Chungking.
Criticized By Board
Marshall, who held top respon
sibility in Washington for the
Armys' preparedness to meet any
onslaught, was criticized in a spe
cial Army investigating board re
port for his part in the Pearl Har
Dor tragedy.
He was defended by President
Truman and former Secretary o.
War Henry L. Stemson, both OF
whom denounced the Army board
report for its criticism on the CHIEF
of staff.
George said he expected the
committee would want to ask Mar
shall very thorough questions
running well before Pearl Harbo1
and on up to the present time.
He said he thought Marshall would
probably be on the witness stand

in the number of actual cases be-

problems of a personal nature are
being brought to the office.
People are beginning to realize,
she continued, that they may obtain
help from the juvenile department.
This tendency to consult with au-

accounts for a 81 per cent rise
