Senator Barkley made 1t clear
that If, after the committee begins
sitting the evidence to draft the re-
port. additional testimony should
appear necessary, the hearings will
be reopened.
Before the committees executive
session, Representative Keefe, Re-
publican, of Wisconsin sought to
bring out at the hearing that pre-.
vious testimony of Col. Rufus S.
Bratton, which that officer now de-
clares was in error, was largely re-
sponsible for the criticism the Army
Pearl Harbor Board leveled at Gen.
George C. Marshall, wartime Chief
of Staff.
The evidence concerns what Col.
Bratton, head of Far Eastern in
telligence in 1941, did with a por-
ton of the Japanese note breaking
of relations with the United States,
which was intercepted the day be-
fore the attack. He told the Army
board he left a locked pouch con-
tanning 13 of the IA parts with Gen.
Marshalls secretary the night of
December 6. He now says he did
not.

Adde's.
Last Tuesday the union quickly
turned down a corporation offer of

'Mahoney Gets Wide
Backing for Cabinet;
lckes Leaves Today
Douglas, SehweIIenboch,

Trumun Nurrows Field

The Capital was deep In one of
its favorite guessing games
speculation over prospective
cabinet appointment-as Harold
L. Ickes prepared to leave the
Interior Department today after
13 turbulent years.
Several names were being dis
cussed as possibilities for the place
that the acid-tongued Ickes quit
with bitter blasts at President Tru-
man over the "Pauley incident -
but the last word from the White
House was that the field is wide
open, and that several potential
candidates had been rejected.
Capitol Hill friends were back
ing strongly Senator O'Mahoney
Democrat, of Wyoming, an associate
of President Truman's Senate days
but mutual friends said Mr.. Tru-
man seemed undecided whether
Senator O'Mahoney would be oi
more service to the administration
in the cabinet or Senate.
News Conference Today.
White House Press Secretary
Charles G. Ross said this nnornina
he thought Mr.. Ickes' successor woulc
De named fairly soon," but he add
ed he did not know to what extent
the President might have narrowed
the field.
Mr.. Ross reiterated he knew that
Mr.. Truman had approached the
task OF choosing a new cabinet aide
with an open mind.
The President called a news con-
ference for 4 o'clock this afternoon
but Mr.. Ross said no unusual sig
niflcance was to be attached to it,
He said it was just simply the usual
conference that had been postponed
from yesterday.
Nav, Kerr Out of Running.
1t is known definitely that Mr.
Truman had given consideration to
the Senate as recruiting ground
for the Interior post, but it was
understood reliably that after con-
sidering several names, all were
dropped for one reason or another
Two Western Governors, Nav, o1
Utah, and Kerr, of Oklahoma. who

be out Of the running.
Several Senators built up Senate,

sons:
They said his appointment would
be hailed by Westerners and proba-
bly, would be confirmed Immediately
by the Senate.
They said political considerations
are favorable. Senator OMahoney
would be up for reelection this year
Should he go into the Interior De-
partment instead, Wyoming's Gov
Lester c. Hunt would be in a posi-
ton to run for the Senate.
Douglas Also Mentioned.
Gov. Hunt was the only Democrat
to unseat a Republican Governor in
1914. Democrats figure that with
him as candidate, chances would
be good that the loss of Senator
OMahoney would not bring a Re-
publican successor into the Senate
Rumors around the Capitol also
mentioned Supreme Court Justice
William o. Douglas for the cabinet
vacancy. Pure speculation among
Congress members had it, too, that

LONDON. Feb. 15.-Lebanon
accused Great Britain and
France today of "a grave attack
on the sovereignty" of the Le-
vantine states and demanded
the immediate and simulta-
neous evacuation" of all foreign
troops from Lebanese soil.
Foreign Minister Hamid Bey
Frangie Of Lebanon opened the de-
bate on Syrian-Lebanese charges
against Britain and France, an issue
which forced the Security Council to
remain in London as delegates to
the first General Assembly departed
for home.
He told the 11-nation peace agency
that the presence of British and
French troops constitutes "a perma-
nent menace of meddling in the in
ternal affairs of member of the
UNo." and declared that their pres
ence Is mot dictated by military
necessity, nor by agreement of the
governments, nor by international
accord"
Frangie was followed by Syrian
Delegate Faris Bey III Khoury, who
told the Council that since the end
OF the war I'VE, have made constant
representations for the simultane-
otis withdrawal" of British and
French troops, "but we waited In
vain"
Gratitude to Britain,
He pointed out that the British
French accord of December, 1945
for withdrawal of their forces pro-
vided for "the maintenance in the
Levant Of sufficient forces to guar
antee security until such time as the
United Nations Organization has de-
cided on the organization of COL
lective security in this zone"
He expressed gratitude to Britain
for help during two wars, declaring
they saved our country from de-
struction."
IF we had wanted a separate
withdrawal, think we could get it
right away from Britain" he added.
FL Khoury said the British
accord makes it clear that troops
will be maintained there for an un-
specified time"
THE consent of the Levant states
to the accord was ruled out of the
picture" he said. "It leaves no
place for further negotiation.
His comment drew a reply from
Foreign Minister Georges Bidault of
France:
THE discriminatory character that
the Syrian delegate gave his re-
marks was superfiuous and useless.
There was menacing tone of GER
tain allegations against my coun-
try"
He asked the Council to have con-
f1dence in Britain and France to
solve the question themselves and
asserted the two countries did not
intend to keep their troops in Syria
and Lebanon indefinitely.

the desperate battle against time to lay up for themselves treasures
on earth alone, as Scripture puts it---1t is tragic because no man
living has ever yet won that battle against time and because the
treasures Of earth are never worth the best Of human effort"
Pastor Buchheimer continued: christian faith stakes everything
on the world to come. We can't lose. 1t isn't as though we give up
one world for the other. This is a game of winner take all. We
get both worlds to live in: one is the world of time and space, in
which men march in picket lines, and hang war criminals and test
Abombs, a world in which men are young, become middle-aged,
grow old and die; and one is the world of eternity, in which child
