Investigators Hear of Navy
Laxness in Checking Japanese
Stopped Tapping Jap Phones in a waii after
CAMPUS HIGHLIGHTS
Row with FBI, Five D
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, ,Dec. 12 - PearlI
Harbor investigators were told todayt
that the Navy, after a row with the
FBI, stopped listening in on Japanese
telephone conversations in Hawaii1
five days before the Dec. 7, 1941, at-
tack.
The FBI continued tapping one
Japanese- consulate line up to the mo-
ment of the assault, and in this way
learned that the consul in Honolulu
was destroying his codes. The tapped
line led to the cook's quarters in the
consulate.
This evidence, placed before the
Joint Congressional Investigating
Committee, was included in a re-
port by Lt. Col. Henry C. Clausen,
assigned by Secretary of War Stim-
son to make an independent inquiry
in 1942.
The committee also was informed4
of another long-time secret - the
Navy had reports in June, 1940, that
the Japanese would try to sabotage
the Panama Canal if the fleet moved
NITROUS OXIDE:
Adel Explains I
His Discovery
What's in the air?
In Ann Arbor, the answer's rain,
but in scientific parlance, it's gases.
One of the most unusual gases is
nitrous oxide, N20, which has been
floating around for centuries, but was
first discovered in the earth's atmos-
phere in 1939 by Prof. Arthur Adel,
of the physics department.
An answer to another difficult
question, that of N20 got into the
air, is suggested by the petroleum
industry's tentative identification of
the gas as an abundant constituent
of soil air, Prof. Adel said yester-
day.
May Come from Soil
Ammonium nitrites and nitrates
decomposing in fertile soil yield N20,
and this gas may escape into the at-
mosphere.
"Nitrous oxide is scarce," Prof.
Adel explained. "There is only
enough to cover the earth, at Ann
Arbor pressure, with a layer three
millimeters thick. However, photo-
chemists have. not yet successfully
indicated the origin of this minute
quantity."
Detected N20 in Air
Experimenting at the Lowell Ob-
servatory, Flagstaff, Ariz., Prof. Adel
detected a new absorption band in
the infra-red spectrum of the sun
and identified its cause as N20 in the
earth's, not the sun's atmosphere.
Heavy as carbon dioxide, and
scarce as ozone, nitrous oxide is
composed of the most abundant ele-
ments of air, nitrogen and oxygen.
Yet it now seems probable that some
of this gas is formed, not in the at-
mosphere of the earth, but in the
ground, Prof. Adel said.
Nationalists in
China Advance
Russia Sanctions Move
To Regain Manchuria
CHUNGKING, Dec. 12-(P)-Cen-
tral government troops moved by
road into Mukden and by air into
Changchun today in two giant strides
toward restoring China's sovereignty
over Manchuria, a Tientsin dispatch
said.
Lt. Gen. Tu Li-Ming's forces en-
tered Mukden without incident after
a 240 mile march across southern
Manchuria that began last month,
Chinese military sources reported.
Russian Agreement
Tientsin sources said the moves
were made in an agreement with
Russia under which Chungking
forces will occupy most strategic
areas in the vast and partly indus-
trialized territory seized by Japan
when she began her fateful era of
Asiatic conquest in 1931.
While Tu's overland units entered.
MVukdexp, Manchuria's largest city,
the fifth division of Chungking's 94th
army began landing by plane at
Changchun, the capital 170 miles to
the northeast, Clements reported.
Russian Troops on Guard
Lt. Gen. Yao Keh-Min, chief of
staff of the division, was quoted as
saying on his return from Chang-
chun to Peiping that Russian troops
were guarding the airfield and soon
would turn it over to his forces.
A Chinese Civil mission was re-
ported operating jointly with the
Russian the railway between Chang-
chun and the Northern Manchurian
city of Harbin and between Chang-
chun and the Southern. Free Port of
Dairen.
Concentration at Peiping
R/E a rin C n-mv l mfg wepr-
ays before Dec. 7, 1941
from its Hawaii base toward the At-
lantic. The fleet feinted an approach
to the canal, but the sabotage didn't
occur.
This testimony was developed by
Rep. Keefe (R.-Wis.) from a mes-
sage sent by Admiral Harold R. Stark,
then Chief of Naval Operations, to
Admiral J. O. Richardson, Comman-
der of the Pacific Fleet.
Both disclosures came as Gen.
George C. Marshall, Former Chief
of Staff, proceeded through his
sixth day as a witness.
The wire tapping incident centered
around affidavits obtained by Colonel
Clausen, principally from Lt. Donald
Woodrum, Naval Intelligence Officer
at Pearl Harbor when the attack
came.
Robert L. Shivers, FBI head in
Honolulu, said in an affidavit he nev-
er knew the Navy had stopped its
line-tapping. The Navy had been lis-
tening in on five or six suspected
circuits.
The committee heard from Gen-
eral Marshall a pointed description
of how concerned the High Com-
mand grew in Washington as the
Pacific situation reached a crisis.
Marshall gave his personal opinion
that war with Japan was "inevitable"
from August, 1941, on but he hoped
to avert it by making a show of force
in the Philippines.
The wartime Chief of Staff said
everything pointed to eventual war
in the Pacific from the summer of
that fateful year onward.
Use -of vet Fund
T T
MayBeDelayed
Some State Senators
Are Reluctant To Act
LANSING, Dec. 12-(iP)- A deci-
sion on the use of Michigan's $51,-
000,000 veterans' reserve fund may be
delayed by state legislators who are
reluctant to authorize the expendi-
ture of the money until more veter-
ans are returned.
Senators Elmer R. Porter, Bliss-
field, and G. Elwood Banine, Van-
dalia, both Republicans, asserted to-
day that a sizeable portion of the leg-
islature believes that a decision on
the best way to use the fund should
not be reached until later in the
year. "There are not enough veter-
ans back home yet for us to obtain a
good idea on what they want done
with the money. I am afraid if we
rush into this too soon-before we
have a chance to see what the full
problem is-we will make a serious
mistake, and once the money is spent
there will be no way of correcting any
mistakes " Porter declared.
Although he has made no public
commitment Governor Kelly has in-
dicated that he intends to submit
the 'decision to the 1946 special ses-
sion of the Legislature. Both Porter
and Bonine said they saw no obsta-
cles to another special session later
in the year.
The Senators said that they had
heard rumors that veterans would
urge a bonus distribution of the fund
rather than an allocation for various
programs of veterans' aid. They said
the sum would amount to only about
$75 apiece for Michigan veterans. It
has been estimated that a bonus
equal to that paid by the state after
World War I would cost Michigan
$400,000,000.

Accounting of Progress
"As the year comes to end," Fa-
ther Frank J. McPhillips, Rector of
St. Mary Chapel, said "it is an ex-
cellent plan to take a few days off
to look back on the past and take an
accounting of the spiritual progress
we are making in life's journey. Dur-
ing this time a proper perspective of
the value of things in life is much
easier to see and the ground for a
stronger more fruitful religious foun-
dation can be broken. We all need
the advantages of a retreat and this
opportunity should not be let slip by."
Senate Dimapproves
Chartering of Ships
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 -(UP) -
The Senate refused today to approve
the peacetime chartering of approxi-
mately 660 war built, government-
owned merchant ships to Russia,
England and other Allies.
An amendment to a ship sales bill,
permitting the maritime commission
to charter the vessels was rejected
on a 36 to 28 roll call vote. Sen. Van-
denberg (R-Mich) voted against the
measure, and Sen. Ferguson (R-
Mich) was not recorded on the vote.
MISSION ON OKINAWA:'
Berger Observes Siirreder
Of Natives Ja anese Soldiers
---
The day of August 22 on Okinawa
started out just like any other day
for Capt. Milton Berger, '39M he
said in a report received here this
week.
At lunch, which Capt. Berger la-
belled as just one grade above
"snafu," he was invited by Lt. How-
ard Moss, the Commanding Officer
of the Division Language Team, who
had spent the first 17 of his 24 years
in Japan, to observe the method used
by the Army to bring Okinawa na-
tives and Japanese soldiers out of
subterranean hiding places to sur-
render now that the war was over.
Their destination proved to be
one of the largest underground
Criticisme a .rd.
At Not1 re -me
caves on Okinawa Some inter-
preters and coeperative Jap pris-
oners-of-war had arrived earlier
and had entered the mouth of the
cave to blare forth a message
through their portable loud speak-
er to the cave's ocepants.. They
tcld them of the war's end and the
order cf the Japanese Emperor
that they lay down their arms and
surrender peacefully to the Ameri-
cans.
Arrangements were made for them
to exit one by one, leaving all weap-
ons just inside th~e entrance of the
cave. The inmates of the shelter
were 17 Nip soldiers from the Jap-
anese homeland and about 100 Oki-
nawa civilians of all ages. It was re-
ported that in April and May this
cave had been used as a hospital and
that a number of those still alive
had been patients.
The soldiers straggled out dirty,
disheveled, tired and poorly nour-
ished. The casualties were in sur-
prisingly good condition despite
their lack of penicillin and sulfa
drugs.
The emotional reactions, Capt.
Berger stated, were remarkable.
There was absolutely no crying or
whimpering amongst the children or
women. There was generalized froz-
en-faced stolidity at first.
One of the customs hardest for our
people to comprehend, he said, is the
behaviour of the Okinawans towards
their mentally ill, very aged, cripples
and orphans. They refuse these un-
fortunates food or shelter, sending

Senate Urges
Open Palestine
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 - kP) -
Over the opposition of President
Truman, the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee voted 17 to 1 today
for a resolution in favor of opening
Palestine to free entry of Jews "to
the maximum of its agricultural and
economic potentiality."
Chairman Connally (D-Tex), who
cast the only opposition vote, said the
President made it clear to him and
to the committee that passage of any
resolution on Palestine aththis time
would "greatly embarrass him in his
international conferences seeking a
solution."
r The President and Prime Minister
Attlee cf Britain have set up a -com-
mission to study the Palestine situa-
tion and report within 120 days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12- (P)--
Stoyan Cavrilovic, chairman of , a

eration in due time."
money and care on the remains and
tombs of their dead, yet make the liv-
ing unfortunates wish they were dead
to escape life's torments, Capt.
Berger reported.
Much has been written, the for-
mer Michigan man said,of the basic
confliet of the life and death in-
stincts, for self-preservation versus
self-destruction.
The group of soldiers and civilians
who left the cave belonged to that
group whose preservative instinct
had been dominant. The few who re-
mained within, those who had ban-
zaied in hopeless situations and those
who had hari-karied preferred self-
destruction.
Perhaps, Capt. Berger said, that is
why we were so impressed with the
complete absence of any overt hos-
tility in the attitude ofathis group of
vanquished people towards us. Per-
haps it was just that they have ac-
cepted the inevitable as inevitable.
For me, he said there was the feeling
that when they learn the real truth
of how they had been misled about
us by their paranoid leaders, then
normal friendly relations can be es-
tablished between us.
