lis to find out for certain whether President Roosevelt had any com mitment with the British prior to Pearl Harbor that both nations should go to war with Japan.
 Tn order to make certain of that fact, which I think the Am erican people should know, I want every bit of evidence the State Department or anyone else has on the subject.
 T think we've had huge mass of evidence on that subject already, and I frankly admit I could not at this time back up a statement that FDR did have any such commit ment. But we've got to be abso- lutely certain
 Brewster referred briefly to Tyler Kent, former code clerk in the U. s. Embassy in London who re- gently returned to this country after serving term in British jail for mishandling what he claimed was secret correspondence between FDR and Churchill while the latter was still First Lord of the Admiralty.
 At this point, Republican Repre- sentative Frank Keefe of Wisconsin interrupted.
 T will not go along with any move to call Tyler before this committee" he said. T sat with him most of a whole night last week, and I can tell you that. although he has very interesting story, it has no direct bearing upon Pearl Harbor and why we were unprepared for the Jap attack. That's what this committee was set up to find out about, and I for one will not waste time and energy on extraneous matters"
 Keefe was seconded by Republi- can Representative Bertrand Gear hart Of California, who had inter viewed Kent with Keefe
 Senator Homer Ferguson of Michigan, the only other Republi- can on the committee, maintained a strict silence through this entire discussion.
 Later, Gearhart proposed the names of former American Legion (soy,,t,,a q r, dave XEyar r,ar Atbart0o a,,l William Colmery as co-counsel to succeed William Mitchell, now re- signed
 But Senator Scott Lucas of Illi- nois interposed that selection of Atherton by the committee would have clear political implications, since Atherton went from his Legion post in 1914 to Governor Dewey's campaign headquarters
 fNote-Lucas might also have mentioned that Colmery of Topeka, Kan. was leader in the Ali Landon campaign of l936)

 It's also beginning to look if the CIO Political Action Committee will have someone out beating the drum for the pnko candidates before election. It's rumored that Rep. Chris Jennings has gone back to Washington to get the job-but not verified.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
SUNDAY, JANUARY 6

Benefic aspects rule today which should be time for careful planning for the future. Many surprising and events are presaged.
 HEART AND HOME
 In 1946 the imperative need of spiritual strength will be felt in American families where mothers and wives will meet exacting prob- lens.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Realization that Aquarian forces are strong in stimulating the long prophesied economic revolution should prevent misjudgment of lab ors demands. The new world must prevent wage slavery and poverty.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Homeless thousands in the United States will have a year of diff culties through lack of foresight in planners.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Russia has much promise in the stars. Friendliness and a desire for lasting peace are indicated. Gov ernment changes are foretold.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of great ac7 tivity. These Capricorn men and women will be prominent in the building of a new world.
 Children born on this day may be endowed with superintelligence but moodiness may handicap them. They should be trained to overcome the habit of despondency.
