Congress Fight Looms On How Much Longer Pearl Probe Can Continue WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 (fP) The Pearl Harbor committee called an executive session for late today (1 p. m. PST) to con sider how much longer the five-weok-old inquiry shall continue a question that may eventual ly bring on a hot fight in con gress, i This was disclosed by Chair man Barkley (D-Ky.), as the senate-house investigators received records showing that in the spring of 1941 the Japanese were convinced that the United States was reading some of their secret codes. Barkley, who returned to the committee after several days ill ness, did not confirm reports that democrats will favor only a 30-day extension of the hearing beyond January 3, the date origi nally set for its conclusion. Senator Ferguson (R-Mich.) is opposed to such a limitation, saying the inquiry should go on 30 Men Fight Mine Blaze WALLACE, Idaho, Dec. 19 () Thirty men under direction of James Wilson, superintendent of the Coeur d' Alene district nine rescue station are fighting a second fire which broke out in the Sunshine mine at Big Creek last night. ' Extent of the blaze could not be determined immediately, but R. F. Mahoney, mine superin tendent, said he thought the raise between the 3100 and the 2900 foot levels might be afire. He said the newest fire may have started from embers carried through a raise between the two levels from a previous fire whichs started Monday at the 2900 foot level. It had been ex tinguished when the new fire was discovered 200 feet below. All work has been suspended at the minp. Meanwhile, United Air Lines reported from Seattle last night it was carrying a shipment of 650 pounds of fire fishtine equipment and oxygen masks to apoKane, wnere it win De trans shipped to the Coeur d' Alene mine. as long as necessary. He has es timated this may take an addi tional 60 or 90 days. Serve Notice Committee Counsel William D. Mitchell and his staff have served notice they intend to quit early in January. Senator Lucas (D-IU.) told reporters there was little chance of per suading the legal staff to con tinue beyond that time. Mitchell read into the record today copies of intercepted mes sages between Tokyo and Berlin and between Tokyo and Wash ington. These showed: On May 3, 1941, Berlin ad vised Tokyo that the German in telligence service had fairly re liably established that the U. S. government was reading Japa nese Ambassador Nomura's code messages from Washington to Tokyo. The Japanese embassy here reported to Tokyo on May, 1941, that the "most stringent precau tions" were being taken. On May 20, the embassy re- Sorted the discovery that the S. is "reading some of our codes." As to how, the embassy said it would inform Tokyo by courier "or some other safe means." Another message about the same time reported that the Jap anese navy' "S" code had been seized from one of its ships "in a foreign port." Before Attack All these messages were long before the Pearl Harbor attack of December 7, 1941. Other evi dence in the committee's files shows that the Japanese either did not change, their codes, or if they did, that the United States managed to break new ones. There were these other developments: 1. A move by Lucas to have L,t. lien, waller u. Short and Adm. Husband E. Kimmel. the Hawaiian commanders, called to tell their side before the first of the year. .. .- 2. Suggestion by Senator Brewster (R-Me.) that Owen J. Roberts, recently retired su preme court justice who conduct ed the first inquiry into the dis aster, mignt De asKea to testily. 3. Disclosure that all of the navy's spies in Japan had been liquidated late in 1941 and that me navy therefore was depend ing heavily on code-cracking to tip off Japanese intentions. Disclosure The latter disclosure was con tained in a December 19. 1941 summary. Vice Adm. T. S. Wil- Kinson made tor Adm. Marola K. Stark, then chief of naval opera tions, of Wilkinson's testimony before the Roberts inquiry com mission. At that time, Wilkinson, then head of naval intelligence, said efforts had been made to gather information on Japanese activi ties through attaches and addi tional observers. But he added: "We had in the past had secret agents in Japan, but we had none recently, since those we had had, had not survived." War Vets Arrive At Fort Lewis FORT LEWIS.
