NEW PEACE PACT x pR0pOSED FOR
 NATIONS OF l. A.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 All Latin American governments ex- cept Argentina today pondered a United States propose treaty which would provide for concerted military action to thwart or put down aggression anywhere in this hemisphere.
 The document, .1.ade public by Latin American diplomats, will be considered at the forthcoming Rio de Janeiro conference, scheduled for early spring.
 Diplomatic authorities consider this country's suggestion as a running mate to the recent Uru- guayan proposal calling for col lective action in this hemisphere against any nation which disre- gards it's international obligations or denies human rights to it's own people.
 The United States treaty, these authorities say, would take care of the purely military side of aggres-

 ARE CRITICIZED

WASHINGTON, Jan. The House military committee is drafting a report that will be sharply critical of army, justice, as administered by court martials.
 The committee has investigated court martial trials and sentences in this country and abroad, and accord ing to one member, has come to the conclusion that the rights of de- fendants are not fully protected.
 Another serious defect is said to be lack Of proper redress when a conviction is found to have teen ur- fair Pardons may be granted, but the House committee spokesman said there is no way of removing the cnus of a dishonorable discharge.

WORK OF FBI IN
 WARTIME GIVEN
 IN REPORT MADE

Four years ago the Japanese at tack on Pearl Harbor brought into the open a war which the Axis had waged against the United States for many years previously
 In 1889, the activities of the Japanese and Germans. including diplomatic representatives, became so obnoxious that something had to be done to counter act their brazen abuse of hospitality and diplomatic immunity. The counted move was a directive from the President, who instructed the FBI to take charge of investigative work in matters relation to espionage, sabotage and violations of the neutrality regula- tions. All law enforcement officers were directed to refer such matters to the FBI.
 Guard Against Sabotage
 Beginning immediately, special agents surveyed strategic plants which were pouring out defense materials. recommendation for changes to increase their security against spies and saboteurs were made in 2.350 instances. As a con- sequence. American industry had its guard up on Dec ', 1941. Dur ing the wartime emergency there was no single successful act of foreign directed sabotage Technical sabotage has been found in 2,232 of the I9,466 complaints investi- gated Most of the violations have been traced to spite or gross care lessness. As a result of FBI in- vestigations, 603 persons have been convicted in State and Federal Courts.
 In 1889 there were 68,00O com plaints of internal security matters. By 194l, reports of this nature received by the FBI reached as high as 2,80O in single day During the entire emergency period special agents carefully sifted through more than 900,0O0 matters bearing upon the nations internal security.
 16,062 Enemies Apprehended
 Many of those reports concerned the work of enemy agents whose activities were followed closely FBI investigations resulted in the conviction of..141 for espionage and foreign agents registration act vio- lations in the United States, and
The Daily Alaska empire., 1946-01-05

others were sentenced for censor ship and neutrality act offenses Some of the spy rings were so well under control that special agents actually directed their activities, which were thus rendered harmless.
 Approximations of alien enemies during the wartime period totaled l6,062. There were 25,8s1 searches of alien premises, where 3,l27 short wave radio receivers, 2.240 sticks of dynamite, 4.626 firearms, 306,247 rounds of ammunition, and other articles of contraband in large quantities were seized. While most of the alien enemies did noth- ing to hurt the United States, the dangerous ones would have con- stituted an army of fifth column ists if they had been left free to follow their inclinations Tn all such matters, care was exercised to protect the innocent and leave unmolested the loyal newcomer to our nation. Emergency situations were handled in such way as to avoid hysteria and witch-hunting.
 531,2O5 Draft Cases
 Since October, 1940, the FBI has closed 531,205 Selective Service cases. There have been 13,417 con- victions in aggravated cases and special agents are working on 14,- 578 pending cases.
 The wartime years brought a new high in cooperation between law enforcement agencies. In the United States this was evident ain the solid front against enemies of the nation and the criminal foes of society The FBI's fingerprint collection, now totaling between 99 and 100 million cards, is monu- ment to this cooperation, because every print from the 12,42l con- tributors was sent in voluntarily
 Hemisphere solidarity was dem onstrated in the way in which law authorities in South and North America handled Axis Through joint efforts more than 1,5GO spies, saboteurs, propa- gandists and other enemy agents have been apprehended in the hemisphere.

KNOX's REPORT ON PEARL KhRB0R iS
 PUT lN EVIDENCE
By JACK BELL

! WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 Con- gressional investigators heard today that Hawaii's defenders fully ex- pected the Japanese to come back promptly after Pearl Harbor and called desperately for more fighter planes and anti-aircraft guns tc meet the anticipated second as- sault.
 This information went into the record along with the word that on that fatal Sunday morning, Dec T, 1941, the Navy flew a 10-plane patrol in just the opposite direc- ton from which the Jap task force was advancing.
 Secret Report
 The source of these details was the hitherto secret report the late Secretary oi the Navy Knox made to President Roosevelt soon after his return from a flying trip to the scene of the disaster.
 Senator Ferguson (R-Mich), who obtained the report from Navy files, said it differed from the one made public at the time.
 Adm Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations in l94l, told the committee that he had never seen the Knox report to MT. Roosevelt until today. He said Knox had filled in on some details in con- versations.
 Surprised At Attack
 Knox told MT. Roosevelt that both the commanders at Pearl Harbor, Adm Husband E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen Walter .C. Short, were completely surprised
 Other points Of the Knox report included:
 1-Nothing but ineffective ma chine gun fire" met the first of three waves of attacking Japanese planes, but the third wave was turned back.
 2-American radio and other equipment were recovered from the wreckage of Japanese planes. One had Lewis gun of 1920 vintage
 3-Knox attributed the lack of adequate fighter plane strength on Oahu before the war to diversion of aircraft to the British, Chinese and the Russians.
