Injured With Fire Crackers

On July Fourth, Paul Nelson was
shooting firecrackers and enjoying
the fun. He followed the old prac-
tice of putting a cracker under a
can and lighting it. This he did
with several of them until he start
ed one which caused the can to be
blown into bits. One of the pieces
hit Paul and penetrated his clothing
and flesh and lodged in his stom-
ach. His brother Otto who was
the same distance from the missile
and received a severe bruise from
a flying piece of tin, got his friend
Jack Haaland to take the injured
boy to Libby. Friday morning Dr.
Cairns performed the delicate OPP
Grafton of removing the tin. Al
last reports the boy was doing as
well as could be expected, Paul
is the son of Mrs Annie Nelson who
herself has just returned from the
Bonner's Ferry hospital where she
underwent a major operation. Last
week Otto was under the doctor s
care because of infection caused
from a bite of poisonous spider.
Mrs. Nelson hopes their streak o.
bad luck has run out.

to run for Vice President on the
Osmena ticket failed.
The Roxas convention adopted q

2. Merciless prosecution of those
guilty of collaboration and removal
of the collaboration question from
politics.
3. Support for the investment OF

Prinz Eugen Is Due
AT Boston tuesday
BY the Associated Press.


BOSTON, Jan. 19.-The German
heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, which
furnished the Allied fleets with
plenty of headaches, is due to reach
Boston Tuesday, the Navy an
nounced today.
She will be the first large German
or japanese warship to come to this
country since the war. Taken over
by the Allies on the surrender of
Germany, she was allocated to the
United States under the Potsdam
treaty.
The 18,460-ton vessel is manned
by skeleton crew of eight American
naval officers and IS enlisted men,
with German crewmen assisting.
The vessel is commanded by Capt.
A. H. Graubert of Los Angeles.
The Prinz Eugen fought several
actions in the Atlantic, Baltic Sea
and English Channel. She took part
in the fight during which the Ger
man battleship Bismarck was sunk
by the Allied fleets in 1941 in the
Atlantic.
Later she carried out independent
warfare. She was with the German
battleships Gneisenau and Scharn-
horst in their dash through the Eng
lish Channel to Trondheim, Norway

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The meat

a problem for many of the Ma

New York appeared hardest hit.
A Meat Trade Institute spokesman
there said stored meat supplies had
been exhausted. Independents were
expected to provide from Is to Is per
cent of the normal supply. Kansas
City butchers had only fish and
poultry to offer.
The OPA reported widespread
overceiling charges in metropolitan
New Jersey, as much as 81 cents a

KimmeI Questioned
On Signs in 1941 Of
Jap Attack on Canal
Murphy Seeks to Prove
Panama Appeared LikeIier
Target Than Hawaii
BY ]. A. O'LEARY and
CARTER BROOKE JONES,

Washington had evidence in
1941 pointing as clearly to a sur
prise. japanese attack on the
Panama Canal as to a raid on
Hawaii, Representative Murphy,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania
sought to bring out today in his
examination of Rear Admiral
Husband E. Kimmel before the
Pearl Harbor Committee.
The former commander of the Pa
cific Fleet did not admit that the
intercepted japanese espionage mes
sages to which the committee men,
Der referred indicated such a pur-
pose as Enthusiastically as the bomb
ing plat" messages relating to Pearl
Harbor which the Navy Department
failed to send him.
This line of inquiry followed the
placing in the record of correspond
ence showing that Justice Depart
ment move to prosecute unregistered
Japanese consular agents in Hawaii
IN the summer of 1941 was opposed
by Secretary of War Stimson and by
Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short, Hawaii
an Army commander, on the ground
1t would jeopardize efforts to assure
the loyalty of Japanese in the ter
ritory.
Says Army Blocked Move.
Earlier in the week, Admiral Kim
mel testified that the Navy wanted
to put these unofficial consular
agents, later shown to be spies, in
the jug" but the War Department
blocked the move.
1t was through the Japanese Con-
sulate in Honolulu that Tokyo got
the so-called bomb plat" which
was series of messages giving the
exact location of ships at Pearl Har-
Dor from time to time and dividing
the area infinitely for espionage pur-
poses.
The correspondence shows that
Gen. Short and Mr.. Stimson felt
the problem could be met by issu-
ing warning to any unregistered
agent.
Mr.. Murphy read excerpts from
various intercepted japanese mes
sageS showing a particular interest
in the Panama Canal. Admiral
Kimmel said, however, that they
were more nearly routine espionage
than the bombing map messages be-
tween Honolulu and Tokyo.
Usual Japanese Pattern.
One message, from Buenos Aires
to Tokyo, referred to maps and
charts of the Panama Canal.
THAT follows the usual pattern OF
Japanes espionage" Admiral Kim
mel commented.
In the Honolulu instance, he
pointed out, you had Tokyo de-
handing specific information of the
ships and installations at Pearl Har-

Morse Suggests Cots
For Senators Fighting
Fi|ibuster on FEPC
Bills Bockers Urge
24-Hour Sessions;
CIoture Defect Predicted
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Round the clock Senate ses-
sions, with cots for sleepy men,
bers, were proposed today to
break a Southern filibuster
against the bill to establish
permanent Fair Employment
Practice Commission.
Senator Morse, Republican, of Ore
/ gon came up with the idea of pro-
visions for quickie maps after SEN
ator Chavez, Democrat, of New Mex
leo disclosed that supporters of the
FEPC bill would seek to hold the
chamber in continuous meetings.
Their proposals came in the face
of a claim by Dixie Democrats that
they had lined up more than enough
votes to block any attempt to shut
off the prolonged debate that began
Thursday and shows no signs of
coming to an end.
Eastland Claims 40 Votes.
Senator Eastland, Democrat, of
Mississippi told reporter that 40
odd Senators" were firmly aligned
against cloture, a parliamentary de-
vice rarely used to limit talk in the
Senate.
Senator Morse would not concede
that his side lacked the necessary
two-thirds vote (64 Of the SO mem
bers if all were PRESENT. to invoke
cloture. But he did say this in an
interview:
The issue that has been raised
is more important than the Fair
Employment Practice Bill-impor-
tant as that is.
The issue is whether the legisla-
tive program is to be determined
by majority vote rule or by a fill
buster conducted by men-many of
whom were elected by small mi
nority of the adult voters of their
States because the right to vote was
denied majority of the adults be-
cause of the poll tax.
Public Opinion spotlight" Cited.
Imagine what would happen if
the country saw 40 men-a majority
of the Senate-with CUTS enough to
hold continuous sessions a hours a
day. That fight would produce all
the votes needed for cloture, with
the spotlight of American public
opinion focused on the Senate "a
hours day.
I'VE could put cots in the cloak
rooms so members could be on hand
at any time to respond to a roll call. "
The holly disputed measure, called
up Unexpectedly Thursday, would
establish a permanent commission
to guard against observation-disclosures
account of race, creed or color-in
private or Government business or
in labor unions. A wartime COM
mittee is supposed to do the same
thing, but its funds and authority
are limited.
The anti-FEPC group is undeni-
ably in the drivers seat at this stage.
BY a legislative strategem, they be-
gan yesterday to correct the official
journal of Thursdays Senate pro-
ceedings. The bill itself hardly
came in for mention.
Reading of the journal took an
hour and a half by itself. Then
Senator Overton, Democrat, of
Louisiana offered his first correction
insertion of the chaplain's prayer.
That was still the unfinished BUSH
ness when the Senate adjourned
yesterday afternoon until Monday
