 The French chose electors to se- lect the upper house of Parliament. The Communists elected 24,72l electors and the CentraliSt MRP party elected 24,446 although in popular vote, the MRP led by 3,839,835 to 3,736,O77. Neither party gained a majority, leaving the balance of power with the So- cialiSt, Radical Socialist and the Rightist PRL groups. Returns were nearly complete.
 The Rightist Social Christian (Catholic party of Belgium ap- peared to have gained strength in the first incomplete returns in mu- nicipal races. The Socialists, run ming second in the popular vote, seemed to have lost some ground to the Communists but not enough to impair their position.

Stark Called Betty
Due to Ancestors
Remark in History

The story of how he got the
nickname of Betty" was re-
lated by Admiral Harold R.
Stark, retired, to the Pearl Har-
Dor Committee today.
Many of Admiral Stark's let
tiers to commanders while he
was chief of operations in 1941
were signed Betty" Chairman
Barley asked him how he got
the nickname.
When I went to the Naval
Academy" the admiral ex-
planned, "the history we studied
contained a reference to Gen.
John Stark, one of my forbears,
who was quoted as having said
we win today or Betty Stark
will be a widow tonight.
Some histories, he said, used
the name Molly" Stark. He
was alternately called Molly"
and Betty" and finally the
latter name stuck. When he
was plebe, every time an upper
classman visited him he had to
get up and recite the quotation,

ficient to have placed him on the
alert.
Il wouldn't have been surprised"
Admiral Stark said, IF submarines
had appeared off San Francisco or
anywhere in the Pacific"
He explained that he did not ex-
pect any such large-scale attack as
the Japanese made December 7,
1871.
You knew an attack on Hawaii
was a possibility" Mr.. Mitchell
pointed out. why in your warning
of November 81 did you say the
Japanese might attack the Philip
pines, the Kra Peninsula or Borneo,
but did not mention Hawaii?"
Asia Held Danger Point.
I'm our thoughts" Admiral Stark
replied. those were the likely points
of attack. We didn't put Hawaii
down as a likely point. We gave
the fleet commanders the informa-
ton which We had We had nothing
which I recall which indicated an
attack on Hawaii The evidence we
had indicated an amphibious attack
In Asia"
Mr.. Mitchell asked why the
admiral, in letter to Admiral James
o. Richardson, then commander of
the United States fleet, stated on
December %, 1910, that war with
Japan might come at any time after
80 days, and yet, in October, 1941
wrote Admiral Kimmel, who had
succeeded to the Pacific command,
that he, Admiral Stark, didn't think
1.-The Japs will sail into u.s.
Those opinions" said Admiral
Stark, were based on the informa-
ton which we got as time went on. "
Just what information" Mr..
Mitchell asked. Admiral Stark
mentioned the intercepted and de-
coded japanese messages which the
Navy was getting, the diplomatic
situation and the international
picture in general.
I'm 1884," he added, Japan seems
to have developed one of those wait
ing attitudes. had in mind, when

BATAVIA, Jan. british sources
reported today that Indonesian Ma
tionalist forces were assembling neal
Semarang in North Central Java
and said the concentration suggested
the possibility that the Indonesians
were preparing for a large scale
attack.
Belief that an attack might be
imminent was heightened by reports
that the Indonesians were clearing
women and children from villages
east of Semarang, but the British
expressed confidence in their ability
to meet the situation.
Minor disturbances occurred over
night at Bandoeng, where a British
warrant officer was killed by sniper
fire. Indonesian snipers also were
reported to have fired on Japanese
troops in that area.
Meanwhile, carrying of firearms
by civilians was prohibited on orders
issued by 1t. Gen. Sir Phillip

the Netherlands Indies.
The order was issued in the form
of posters in three languages which
were distributed throughout Batavia

Truman Urged 10 Kill
BradIey's Plan for
Appointing Doctors
DeodIine to Sign Bill
opposing Civil Service
Expires Tomorrow

Opposition has developed to
the Veterans Administration
medical department bill grant
ing it the authority to appoint
doctors without civil service ap-
prevail, with both Budget Bureau
and Civil Service Commission
officials urging President Tru-
man to pocket veto the legisla-
ton.
Passed by both houses of Con-
gress with little opposition, the
measure will die If the President
fails to sign 1t by midnight to-
morrow.
Truman Undecided.
Mr.. Truman has not determined
his action on the bill, Presidential
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross re-
ported today. He acknowledged
that there has been considerable
pressure exerted on the President to
veto the bill
Chief objection of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and the Budget
Bureau is that the legislation by
passed both civil service regulations
and the Veterans Preference Act
of 1914.
Spokesman contend that under the
measure the Veterans Administra-
ton could hire any one they wish
and discriminate, if they wish
against doctors who have served in
the armed forces and now seek en-
ployment in the Veterans Admins
tration. Regardless of merit and
ability, these doctors might be
passed over in favor of other medi-
cal men, it is contended.
Bradley Calls Bill Vital.
Contesting this argument, Gen
Omar N. Bradley, administrator Of
veterans affairs, has declared thai
the entire Veterans Administration
medical service program hinges, or
the medical department bill becom-
ing law.
Gen. Bradley has stressed the
critical shortage of medical per.
sonnet in the agency's 81 hospi-
tails. His aides report that the
situation is becoming more critica
every day. There is shortage Of
1000 doctors at present.
Gen. Bradley has expressed con
fidence that with the powers in.
vested in them through the medica
department bill they would not onl!
be able to get the 1000 doctor'
needed now but also would be abl'
to attract the several THOUSAND
more doctors who will be needed il
the next few years.
