Detailed Plan of Attack to
Fleet Nov. 25, Committee
Informed
Washington, Nov. 17 U.R)
The Japanese naval high com
mand officially issued its detail
ed plan for attacking Pearl Har
bor on Nov. 4, 1941, and sent an
already-assembled task force in
to Hawaiian waters on Nov.. 25
with orders to strike a "mortal
blow" against the U. S. Pacific
fleet, the Pearl Harbor investi
gating committee was told to
day. This force delivered its attack
on schedule at 7:02 a. m., Dec.
7, 1941, putting most of the Paci
fic fleet out of action and plung
ing this country into war.
The attack plan, conceived by
Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, Jap
fleet commander, nearly a year
earlier, had been revealed in
part to a group of Japanese car
rier pilots as early as Oct. 5,
1941, the committee was told.
The full plan issued Nov. 4
contained detailed instructions
for the attack and for an ad
vance refueling rendezvous. If
the attack proved successful, the
task force was to return to
Japan. If it failed, the main
Japanese fleet was to be sent
from home waters to rescue the
attackers.
The Japanese concluded In
advance that a followup inva
sion of Hawaii would be logisti
cally impossible, thus tossing
away what most military ex
perts now believe was their best
opportunity of winning the
Pacific war.
The U. S. navy's reconstruc
tion of the Japanese war-making
plans also disclosed that the task
force was ordered to turn back
without attacking if it should
appear certain that Japanese
American negotiations then in
progress would result in an
"amicable settlement" or If the
force should be detected more
than two days In advance of the
attack.
Rear Adm. T. B. Inglis, chief
of naval intelligence, submitted
the 15-page summary of the
Japanese attack plans during his
third day of testimony before the
Pearl Harbor committee.
His prepared statement was
challenged by republican mem
bers of the committee, who read
it in advance and complained
that it was unsupported by any
documents presented to the com
mittee. Before he presented the
statment, however, Inglis sub
mitted to the committee a large
number of documents from
which the Japanese story had
been prepared.
Inglis also clashed with Sen.
Owen Brewster, R., Me., wno
charged the navy intelligence
chief had given "unqualifiedly
false" information to the ccm
mittee earlier on the size of the
U. S. fleet in 1941.
The navy report said that on
Nov. 8 Hawaiian time) the Jaoa
nose tentatively fixed the date
of the Pearl Harbor attack for
Dec. 7. The definite decisiun on
the date came Dec. 1.
Before Inglis' testimony, re
publican committee members
who had seen the navy account
told reporters it was an attempt
to defend former Secretary of
State Cordcll Hull in the light
of an army board report saying
his Nov. 26, 1941, counter-proposals
to the Japanese had neen
used as a signal for the start of
the war.
Brewster said the navy was
"trying to save Mr. Hull." Rep.
Bertrand W. Gearhart, R., Calif.,
asserted there was no question
"but what it was the Hull ulti
matum of Nov. 26 which piecipi
tated the war."

NEW AUTO
TO BE
Washington, Nov. 17 (U.R)
Price Administrator C h e s t e r
Bowles announced tonight that
he will announce on, Monday the
price for new automobiles now
being manufactured.
"This is the third time Bowles
has announced that ceiling
prices on new cars would be
forthcoming. Delays within the
agency and opposition to the
OPA price policy in congress
have held up the announcement
for the past two weeks.
The house small business
committee asked Bowles on
Thursday to consider additional
data on the operating costs of
dealers. OPA has studied this
material for the past three days,
and, apparently has decided not
to change its cost absorption
policy.
Bowles told the committee in
last week's hearings that OPA
expects dealers to absorb four
to five per cent of the increased
production costs on new cars.
OPA has said repeatedly that
new aitjo prices will be about
the same as the ceiling prices
in 1942. Increased freight,
higher taxes, and higher service
charges arc expected to increase
tho price of new autos. There
will also be some increases be
cause of such improvements as
longer or wider bodies, increas
ed horsepower or better brakes
It is estimated that there are
12,000.000 customers now on the
market for the victory models,
which will not be radically dif
ferent from the 1942 models.

Fomenting Strife

Be-
Portland, Ore., Nov. 17 (U.R)
Discord between striking AFL
lumber workers and the non
striking CIO unions eased to
night when the policy commit
tee of the 60.000 AFL strikes re
fused to rise to a CIO challenge
of battle.
Previously, AFL carpenter
and teamster unions refused to
handle lumber produced by the
CIO international woodworkers
of America, who had accepted a
12'4 cent hourly Increase from
operators. The AFL remained
firm in its demand for $1.10
.hourly minimum and 20-cent in
crease "across the board."
Instead of lambasting the
rival ClO'union, John Christen
son, chairman of the AFL strike
policy committee, criticixed
management for allegedly fo
menting strife between the two
branches of labor. His attack
followed a statement by J. B.
Fitzgerald, secretary-manager of
the Lumbermen's Industrial Re
lations Committee Inc., in which
he said employers "are fearful
for the future of the lumber In
dustry unless the two unions
can make peace."
"The reason there is no pcrce
in the lumber industry today "s
because certain operators ar
large associations are more i -terested
in a showdown batt. ?
to eliminate the labor move
ment from the northwest rather
than reach a just and sincere
agreement," Christenson said.
The AFL lumber workers
went out in Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and Northern
California on Sept. 24, while
the, IWA compromised Its 25
cent demand without striking.

T
'Costly and Terrible' Strike
For Pay Boost All
Offers Rejected
Detroit, Nov. 17 (U.R) The
CIO Auto Workers union oiled
its war-idle strike machinery to
night for a massive shutdown of
the far-flung General Motors
system.
From the union's top hier
archy to the most remote local
unit, all preparations pointed to
one course a "costly and ter
rible" strike for pay gains.
On Monday, 200 delegates of
General Motors unions acioss
the nation will assemble in De
troit to hear the report of Walter
P. Reuthcr, vice president ol the
United Auto Workers union, on
G-M negotiations over the 30
per cent wage increase demand.
Reuther will ask the confer
ence to reject all management
offers for settlement of the dis
pute; the latest of which pro
posed a flat 10 per cent boost in
hourly rates to be based on vir
tual assurance of a minimum 45
hour work week.
The conference will be asked
to recommend action to the
UAW's special six-member slriKe
strategy committee. That com
mittee is ready to act immedi
ately. Reuther already has declared
an unsatisfactory termination of
formal negotiations with tho cor
poration and has warned that a
strike "is our alternative in ob
taining equity for the workers
and for the public."
Further emphasizing readiness
to strike the 350,000 G-M produc
tion employes, UAW President
R. J. Thomas charged in an edi
torial that the industry's big
three; G-M, Chrysler and Ford
were joined In a conspiracy
"forcing a costly and terrible
strike upon us.
Strike pickets h a v been
named by local unions in pre
parations described by Reuther
as "realistic." A $4,000,000 re
serve fund has been earmarked
by the International UAW for
prosecution of its wage-demand
walkout.
All legal obstacles have been
cleared for the strike call. Sys
tematically the union has taken
strike votes under the Smith
Connally act and under its own
union constitution, and filed the
formal complaint of unfair labor
practices against the corporation.

WAGE HIKE PLAN
Washington, Nov. 17 (U.R)
A special subcommittee of the
1 a b o r-management conference
today failed to work out a sub
stitute proposal for CIO Presi
dent Philip Murray's wage reso
lution and Murray took his
case for higher pay directly to
the public.
The conference executive
committee sidetracked Murray's
resolution yesterday by refer
ring It and two proposed substi
tutes neither of which were
concerned with the question of
wages to a subcommittee for
coordination and redrafting,
Murray was appointed to the
subcommittee, but he refused to
serve because of his conviction
that the group would by-pass
the wage issue.
After announcing that he was
determined to carry his fight
for consideration of the wage
question to the floor of the con

let outlining the CIO case for
"substantial pay Increases." In
It he warned that the United
States will find Itself in the
midst of another deep depres

money out of the nation's econ

Contending that industry

Soviet Prosecutor III Is
Reason Borman's Name

Nuernberg, Nov. 17 (U.R)
Russia requested postponement
of the four-power trial of 24 top
Nazi war criminals today be
cause of the illness of the Soviet
chief prosecutor, who now Is in
Moscow.
The Russian delegation peti
tioned the court for postpone
ment when it was informed chief
Soviet Prosecutor Gen. Roman
Andreevich Rudenko was too 111
to leave Moscow to attend the
trial opening on Tuesday.
The Soviet request said Ruaen
ko's illness was not serious
enough to require naming a new
Russian prosecutor and ex
pressed the hope Rudenko would
be sufficiency Improved "in a
very few days" to returr to
Nuernberg. The request prob
ably will be acted upon prompt
ly by the four-power tribunal
The new delay threatened the
trial shortly after the tribunal
had cleared a major obstacle to
its beginning by deciding not to
prosecute Alfried Krupp, in the
place of his father, the senile
head of the Krupp armament in
dustry, who Is too ill to be tried.
British alternate Prosecutor
Sir David Maxwell Fyfe an
nounced to the court today that
there was "still a clear possi
bility ho (Bormann) is still alive"
and requested that Bormann'a
name remain on the list of in

Fyfe told the court the ac
cepted version of Bormann'a fate
was that a Russian threw a hand
grenade Into a tank in which
Bormann was attempting to cross
the river Spree bridge.
"Three members of the party
with Bormann have been inter

Bormann was'killcd and a third

Berkeley, Calif., Nov. 17 4J.R)
Jake Leicht, a lightning fast
back who travels with the speed
his name implies, carried the
"come-back kids" from Univer
sity of Oregon to a 20-13 victory
over University of California be
fore 35,000 fans today.
Given able assistance by Dono
van, hard-hitting freshman half,
who scored all three Oregon
touchdowns, Leicht & Co. over
came a 13-polnt deficit at half
time to trounce the Bears.
Playing fine ball the first half
and showing a power attack that
completely fooled the Webfoots,
the Bears folded in the second
half under Leicht's all-out at
tack. The feather-footed back pass
ed, kick and ran the Bears into
the ground. On defense he was
the main "receiver" of Califor
nia passes.
Identical plays in the third
quarter gave Oregon two touch
downs. On both maneuvers
Leicht faded to pass, Donovan
took the ball and went through
the line. On the first play Dono
van went 17 yards to score and
rambled 39 yards on the second.
Leicht set up the last touch
down drive in the fourth period
with the score tied at 13-13. He
intercepted Kenfield's pass on
the Oregon 3D and then opened
up.
Leicht passed to Halfback
Johnson for five and then faded
back to heave one to End An
derson on the California five.
A five yard penalty slowed the
drive but Leicht reached the two
on two plunges and Donovan
went over with seven minutes
of play remaining. .
California scored In the first
two. minutes when Halfback
Stuart broke off right tackle and
went 61 yards to score. Mohn
converted. A "gift" score came
In the second, when a fourth
down pass over the goal from
the Oregon six was ruled com
plete for interference. The Bears
were given 'the ball on the one
and Kenfield plunged over.
Llcht Intercepted four Cali
