S. fleet movements. Tho Michigan senator mado the statement during questioning of Rear Admiral T. B. Inglis, chief of naval Intelligence, by tho congressional committee investigating Pearl Harbor. Ferguson said ho would prove his statement later in the hearings. Tho message, sent from Honolulu Dec. 3, was given the com mittee earner with a notation that It was translated on Dec, u. It was dispatched by a Jap anese named Klta and listed numerical signals from one to eight which were to convey such Information as "battle ships all departed," "battleships preparing to sortie," "carriers deported." The message said lights would bo displayed "in the win dow of Kalama house." Kalama Is a beach village on the east coast of Oahu Island. It also listed want ads which were to be broadcast from a Ha waiian radio station and have the equivalent meaning of var ious of the numerical signals. Inglis said the Fedoral Bu reau of Investigation had looked Into the broadcasts and the best available Information was that they were never used for signal ling. The possibility arose that former Secretory of State Hull may testify this week. Jule M. Hannaford, assistant counsel, told reporters today Hull has been asked to follow Admiral J. O. Richardson to the stand. The former cabinet offi cer, he said, will appear if his health permits. The committee began Its fourth day of hearings by going over with Rear Admiral T. B. Inglis the sources of informa tion on which he based a sum mary given the group Saturday of Japan's version of the Pearl Harbor attack. No Proof Under questioning by Rep. Cooper (D-Tcnn.), Inglis said there Is no proof that two ob servation seaplanes launched by the Japanese task force reached Pearl Harbor an hour before the attacking planes. The orlglnlal draft of Inglis' statement to the committee Sat urday included the statement that two planes "reached their destination" an hour ahead of tho actual foray. But the wit ness said today this was struck out on the basis of information received from navy sources Fri day night. In response to questions by Senator Lucas (D-Ill.), Inglis said that information on the Japanese version of the attack, received through investigations mado by subordinates of Gen. Douglas MacArthur, tallied largely with data gathered by navy inquiries. Senator Brewster (R-Me.) asked whether records of Hono lulu commercial broadcasting stations during tho attack pe riod arc available. Inglis testi fied last week no proof had been found to substantiate a Japanese report that code mes sages had been sent through these programs to the approach ing Japanese licet. Eltal he admitted going Into nPolnto's again early Saturday morning and taking the coat, priced at $975, and several hun dred dollars worth of women's apparel, when found last night he was wearing his own clothes. He told police he had hidden tho merchandise' near the Bulck garage on East Main and It was rocovored. - Ho said he had been hiding in a cellar and garago at Pell can Cilv since leaving home Wednesday night.

Christenson, retorting to a CIO Woodwork ers' assertion the lumber in dustry hasn't enough room for both the CIO and AFL, declared, "We are not going to lower our sights and indulge in a juris dictional dispute."

Mallon. who is in Cincinnati attending an executive commit tee meeting of his group, said the dealers feel the decision "is not justified either by the lim ited studies made by OPA, nor the section of the pricing act upon which Mr. Bowles bases his claim of a right to alter dis count margins." - He predicted the nricine act would be amended "in the very near future", to clarify this point, and said Chairman Pat man (D-Tex.) of the house small business committee agreed with him on this contention.
