I Pearl Harbor Probers Skirt Secret Of How U. S. Broke Japanese Code By JACK BELL WASHINGTON. Dec. 1 (If) Pearl Harbor investigators to day skirted one of the wart top military secrets now we otokb the Japanese coae in weir sen tlnv of event Dreceding the Pa , pific bastion attack almost four years ago. i In a painstaking Inquiry Into nneration "manic" as the war department called the code breaking project, the senate- house committee ordered up the work sheets of cryptographers who pieced out the meaning of Japanese military and diplomat ic messages. Committee counsel set about assembling the sheets as the committee took a holiday until Monday. EeD. Cooner (D-Tenn.) and Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.) said the objective was to find out how much time was consumed In Washington reducing the mes sages to English and getting the information into the hands of the president, chief of staff, sec retary ol war ana otners. Thev said thev wanted to know whether the job might , have been speeded and the field commanders provided with more information. But William D. Mitchell and Gerhard Gesell, committee coun sel, made it plain the army and navy don't want to yield the se cret of how the job was done. Cooper and Ferguson told re- porters they don t want tnai in formation bared, either. Cooper raised the point in yes terday's hearing that there was nothing in copies of Japanese messages furnished the commit tee to indicate when they were received in wasningion. lie noted that more than three weeks' elapsed between the date one message was sent by the Japanese and its final decoding and translation in the capital. , He pointed out that a lengthy message sent Nov. 24, 1941 by a Japanese agent in Honolulu to Tokyo about the activity of the American fleet in Pearl Harbor was not translated until Dec. 16. Declining to discuss how the final text was obtained by the cryptographers, he told the com mittee that it was a tough job. As an example, he said that Jap anese telegraphic expressions themselves were "a language Within a language." Under questioning by com mittee, counsel and members, Miles declared that no specific warnings were needed other than the general war warnings which were sent to iieia com mandersof an attack on Pearl Harbor. He said the Hawaiian estab lishment had been built solely as a defense against any Japan ese move. After two messages were sent from Washington to Hawaii Nov. 27 advising that ne gotiations with Japan seemed ended and hostile action might follow, "I had no douDt," Miies said, that an immediate and complete alert" had been effected At one point when he was be ing questioned on this view, Miles paused briefly and then observed: "You gentlemen of congress appropriated millions of dollars ior ma i loriress. Agaui&b wuuiu were you building it?" Nazi General Pays Penalty A VERSA, Italy, Dec. 1 (If) German General Anton Dostler was shot to death by a firing squad today for ordering the execution of 15 American sol diers captured behind the Ger man lines in Italy in March, 1944. Dostler, first German general to die for war crime participa tion in western Europe, was convicted in October by a U. S. court martial, which disre garded his defense plea that in ordering the executions he was carrying out the commands of higher officers.

THE real accomplishment is to be found in the fact that the conference didn't break up in a row. If labor and management learn by experience that they can get together and talk things over without a fight, it will be evident that we are making progress toward common sense handling oi uus toucny prou lem. THERE is much TALK about collective barsalninff.
