|KimmeI Denied Access
To Roosevelt Files,
|Probers Are Told

Congressional investigators heard
today that President Truman has
denied an appeal by Rear Admiral
Husband E. Kimmel to examine
what Senator Ferguson. Republican,
of Michigan called "supersecret"
| file of the late President Roosevelt's s.
messages.
| Ensign John Phelan, representing
the former Pacific Fleet commander,
told the Pearl Harbor Committee
that Mr.. Truman had written a
letter saying that the committee
alone has authority to look at such
| files.
! Comdr. John F.. Becker, represent
ing the Navy Department, substan-
tiated this, adding that the commit
tee had been given full access to the
file, which Senator Ferguson said
had been set up to retain copies of
all messages exchanged between
Mr.. Roosevelt and British officials,
including former Prime Minister
Churchill.
Comdr. Becker said that when the

Of only two messages. These. previ-
ously furnished to the committee,
were addressed to the high COM
missioner of the Philippines and
had little bearing on the Japanese
attack at Pearl Harbor.
Won Ribbentrop Note Released.
Comdr. Becker said representa-
tives of Admiral Kimmel had asked
to see the file, but had been re-
fused the privilege. Admiral Kim
mel then wrote Mr.. Truman, Comdr.
Becker said, and the President re-
piled that only the committee could
see the contents Of the file.
A document given to the COM
mittee today disclosed that Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, Germany's Foreign
Minister, was convinced in the
spring of 1941 that if the United
States was drawn into the war its
forces would not be able to land
either in Europe or Africa.
The document, summarizing
conference in February, 194l, be-
tween Won Ribbentrop and Jap
aneSe Ambassador Oshima, painted
a rosy picture of German hopes for
early victory over England. and in
dicated Japan was expected to come
in as soon as possible to secure it's
! position in the Far East.
There was no hint in the docu-
ment, however, that Won Ribben-
trop expected Japan to attack the
/ United States. He wrote that Ja-
/ pans entrance would destroy Eng
lands key position in the Far East"
Stark Back on Stand.
| The document was released as
Admiral Harold r. Stark, retired,
former chief of naval operations,
resumed the stand to answer ques-
tions by Senator Ferguson about

A query about their kind of bridge
brought from Mrs. Noel the assur-
ance that they played pretty well.
No stakes though, she said, but dis
patches from Independence reveal
that a nice prize like piece of cut
glass is not taboo.
The rest of the party meanwhile
was crossing the Cumberland by
car. They were met at Frederick
Md, and guided into Washing
ton. These were Mrs. Truman's
sisterS-in-law, Mrs. Frank and Mrs
George Wallace, who are in the
family milling business; Mrs. John
Hutchison, whose husband used to
run feed store, Mrs. Melvin Pal
lette and Mrs. E. K. Crow.

one who never spared a friend

An unofficial pledge has also been
made on behalf of the President
that he will not expect them to be

famine in Europe, particularly in
Italy. UNRRA so far has been as
sured of $4,000 tons in April, of
which 275,000 will come from the
United States and the rest from
Canada and Argentina. However,
Mr.. La Guardia said at least 600,-
900 tons were needed urgently.
Talking with newspapermen after
the meeting, the UNRRA chief sum-
married.:
mo final decision was reached be-
cause of the complexity Of the prob
lem, but some progress was made.
1 am more hopeful than I was yes
terday. That doesn't mean, though,
that I am completely happy. But I
realize the difficulties facing the
supplying countries as we'll as the
UNRRA countries. The wheat sup
ply problem is one that requires
checking and study"
Committee Sits Problem.
Mr.. La Guardia said a committee
consisting of representatives of the
United States, Canada, Australia,
Argentina, the United Kingdom and
UNRRA, was appointed to study the
problem of raising the extra 300, 200
tons of wheat. He added that he
hoped it would be able to report to
the Combined Food Board by next
Monday.
Asked about a report that the
United Kingdom has been requested
by UNRRA to forego its April quota
of wheat from the United States
and Canada Ito be made up later
in order that it might be sent to
the continent, Mr.. La Guardia said
this was one of the possibilities con-
sidered.
I'VE took IN the whole world as
our territory in studying the prob
lem," he added.

was the drafting of definite plans

Spanish Glass
ToCook Lunch
At White House

Mrs. Harry Truman and some
fellow Spanish students are going to
cook a Pan American lunch" for
about 60 persons at the White House
April 20, it was announced today.
The so guests are all Spanish STU
dents of Prof. Raymon Ramos. They
will be divided into buying, prepar-
ing and serving crews, White House
secretaries explained.
Mrs. Truman heads the cooking
crew, which will operate in the
White House kitchen under direc-
ton of Prof. Ramos. The cooks
expected to number about six or
eight, will have to begin preparing
the intricate Latin American dishes
about am. for the lunch at pm
in the State Dining Room.
Prof. Ramos classes have been
preparing Latin-American dishes
about once a month at various en-
bassies and private homes, Mrs.
James Helm, social secretary, said.
Mrs. Truman decided it would be
fitting to have the cooking done at
the White House April 20 to mark
the end of Pan American Week.

BY the Asseeioied Press

BALTIMORE, April II. - The
State Tax Commission was faced
today with court order to revise
downward its assessment on the
Western Maryland Railway Co. by
nearly $147,000.
Judge Emory H. Niles ruled yes
terday in Circuit Court that the
commission had Improperly assessed
the railroad by that amount on
taxes for 1924. The judges de-
cision ordered the commission to
base its assessment of the Maryland
portion of the company's receipts on

New Land-Use Plan
Would CentraIize
Bethesda Business

A land-use plan for the Bethesda
business district, calling for extern
sion OF commercial zoning, establish
ment OF oftstreet parking facilities
ana imitation of a street. widening
program. was being studied today by
the Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce.
The proposals were outlined to the
chamber last night by Fred w.
luemmler, director of planning for
the Maryland-Nat Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
The plan calls for the commercial
lzation of the Woodmont triangle
between Old Georgetown road and
Wisconsin avenue, north to Rugby
avenue, and shows a new street
system for the area that will make
1t adaptable to business use as the
needs develop.
Three reasons are given for the
expansion In this direction. 1t will
create a compact business center,
rather than one strung out along
the main arterial highways; one of
the Oldest, outworn residential areas
will be utilized for productive use;
the area of expansion is within the
V-Shaped arm of business streets
and new commercial uses will grow
inward instead of outward into good
residential neighborhoodS.
Along with this new commercial
development goes a proposal to re-
zone for apartment purposes large
tract of land lying between Rugby
avenue and the Woodmont Country
Club west of Wisconsin avenue
Other apartments are contemplated
on East-West highway and Bradley
boulevard.
The revised street plan for the
Woodmont area shows the widening
of all existing streets and the ex-
tension of Middleton lane from Wis
consin avenue to Old Georgetown
road. Norfolk avenue would be con-
nected with this lane at one end and
with Glenbrook road at the other.
Glenbrook road would then be ex-
tended to join Glenbrook parkway
at the intersection of Wisconsin
avenue, cutting off a section of the
Woodmont Country Club grounds.
1t is Mr.. Tuenmler's suggestion
that a hotel be placed in this sec
ton.
The proposed land use plan also
shows areas suggested for off-street
parking purposes.

firmly set only minutes before she
left independence.
So far, the Official schedule for the
guests:
Today, sightseeing. the group pic
ture, lunch with few official and
personal guests of Mrs. Truman,
more sightseeing and the Shrine
Circus tonight
Yacht Trip Planned.
Tomorrow, trip down the river
on the yacht Williamsburg if the
weather is good Some other day
may be chosen for the yacht trip.
The day that the guests do not
take the yacht trip they will be
entertained at a tea at the Blair
House.
Two White House limousines are
being used for the sightseeing tours.
Mrs. Helm said she did not believe
the White House staff would have to
help much with the visitors wash
ing and ironing because they would
not be here long enough to need
much. The visitors are expected to
leave by the end of the week.
Mrs. Truman has been planning
to entertain the club since last au-
tumn, Mrs. Helm said.
Idea Started Gin Fun"
The idea started "in fun" when
Mr.. Truman was Vice President.
The women jokingly said they would
like to buy station wagon and
come TO visit Mrs. Truman, a char
ter member of the group. While it
would have been obviously impos-
sible" for Mrs. Truman to entertain
them all at her five-room apartment
at 4701 Connecticut avenue NV, the
women did plan to come as a group
Jaunt to Washington.
Mrs. Truman decided to follow up
the original plan after she became
a resident of the White House,
Mrs. Helm said.
The club, resplendent in evening
gowns and white gloves, almost took
the spotlight from Pianist Eugene
List, soloist with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra, last night at
Constitution Hall.
Filling the presidential box and
another adjoining, they almost hid
the man who sat quietly in a corner
behind them-Mrs. Truman's hus-
band, Harry.
Capital Is Delighted.
The visit of the bridge club
is Mrs. Truman's first assertion of
her personality since she took over
a year ago from one of the most
controversial women in the world
Washington, which was beginning
to be rather wistful about her reti-
cence, is delighted. This talkative
Capital has been starved for labels
and legend about that placid per-
sonality which did not so much re-
buff as ignore its curiosity.
The result is that the attention
usually reserved for Hollywood star

Baseball guild
wins a victory

PITTSBURGH = (FP) - Re-
buffed by the NLRB, Robert
Murphy, head of the American
Baseball Guild, won round here,
when the Pennsylvania labor
board tentatively accepted juris-
diction in a case involving the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
At hearing on Murphy,s .peti.
ton for an election to determine
whether the guild represents a
majority of the clubs ball play
ers, Trial Examiner Conrad. H.
Checco took the position that ball
players have the same economic
status as actors or musicians.
He refused to dismiss the pro.
ceedings at the request of the
Pirates mouthpieee, ward
French, who claimed that highly
organized and lucrative industry
does not constitute commerce as
defined In the state labor reIa-
tons act.
Recently the Pittsburgh office
of the NLRB, claiming it was
acting on orders from Washing,
ton, refused to accept the case.
Checco's. report will go to the
state board in Harrisburg, which
will determine whether to accept
jurisdiction, whether to conduct
an election and what constitutes
bargaining unit.
