u. S. authorities belatedly revealed
the suicide of DR.. Leonardo Cont,
Nazi medical director and sponsor OF
the mercy killings of inmates IN

in lust for racial purity, killed hun

Argentina
A Strike Stills the Pompos


Argentine businessmen, SIN arting
under the whip o. military govern
ment, united this week to stage ma
tional blackout of commerce and in
dustry in an impressive show of civil
resistance.
For three days, not a wheel turned
in any factory. Scarcely store
opened. Only ice, milk and meat de-
liveries continued. Streets of Buenos
Aires, usually damned with shoppers,
were deserted. Movies closed; so did
most restaurants, night clubs and
theaters.
Observers said the demonstration
was go per cent perfect throughout a
nation of 100000 people.
The three-day lockout was indus
try's answer to government refusal to
suspend execution of it's arbitrary
order for Christmas bonuses and pay
increases up to Is per cent for all
workers and employees.
Businessmen charged the govern
ment decree was an outright bid for
labor votes on behalf of Col. Juan D.
Peron, Argentine strongman, by his
good friend and protege, President
Edelmiro ]. Farrell. Peron, busted last
fall as Argentina's vice-president by
the army, is candidate for president
j. the February "a elections.
Businessmen, to emphasize that the
lockout was directed against the gov
ernment and not the workers, prom
ised generally to pay wages Tor the
three-day vacation. Workers for the
most part stayed indoors.

testimony on rehabilitation that same
afternoon before a joint meeting of
Congress.
The Pearl Harbor Congressional
committee members, at times accused
of being headline conscious, said they
hoped to wind up the hearings some
time in February and might not even
call Gov. Dewey as witness. At one
time the committee was intent on
learning how Dewey, 1914 Republican
presidential nominee, learned that the
Japanese code had been broken-sup-
posedly top secret.
Strained Ties
Meanwhile the once cordial relations
between Congress and the White
House appeared strained almost to the
breaking point. Early in the week the
President announced he would post
pone his annual Estate of the Union"
speech until Monday and combine it
with his annual budget message to
Congress.

enacting new laws. When informed
that his fve-day postponement was
keeping Congress from tackling a
mountainous pile of controversial leg
islation, the President tartly observed
that the White House had had little
success in trying to tell Congress what
to do.
Some of the legislative matters
awaiting Congress are:
Atomic Energy nothing done, ex-
cept by committees, on the Presidents
request for legislation to set up do
nestle controls.

Lone Silence Broken


After four years Of silence during
which he was stripped of command
and dignity, R. Adm. Husband E. Kim
mel got his first chance this week to
tell publicly lis side of the Pearl Har-
Dor debacle.
The onetime Pacific Fleet command
err was we'll prepared. Before the joint
Congressional committee of inquiry,
he read a 25,000-word statement in
which he charged the Navy Depart
ment in Washington had denied him
information which might have turned
the attack into an ambush for the
Japanese.
The admiral claimed that had he
been given vital facts in Washington's
possession he would have taken the
fleet to sea and trapped the japanese
task force that smashed the Hawaiian
naval base.
''The Pacific Aeet was deprived of
fighting chance to avert disaster" he
declared, "because of withheld infor-
nation which indicated the probable
ity of an attack at Pearl Harbor at
the time it came"

and Navy commanders at the time of

Proud Queen Of The Seas Returns To Nome

The SS Victoria, still the proud Queen Victoria, anchored in Nome roadstead at 700 pm. last night with $500 tons of general mer- chandise for Nome and Seward Peninsula ports.
 The old "Vic" made her last previous trip into Nome in l937 under the late Captain A. w. Wes- terholm, who later lost his life when the Liberty ship John w.. Stark was sunk during the war just south of Dutch Harbor.
 Through four wars, and 76 years of exciting and thrilling service the SS Victoria, built in 1870 in Dumbarton, Scotland, has out lived her designers and builders, as well as captains and crews by the dozens. She is the oldest steamer under United States reg istry, and perhaps the oldest steamship in the world.
 Her captain today, Captain FL mer Joost, who has been on the bridge for the past two years, states "When the Vic goes to her final resting place, she will go down in history as one of the most marvellous vessels of all time"
