Pauley Relates Oil Offer To Bob Hannegan Investment Offer Was Dropped Later As Unprofitable Washington, Feb. 19—(UP) — Edwin W. Pauley said today he once offered Democratic national chairman Robert E. Hannegan an oil investment venture, hut the proposition was dropped no unprofitable*. Pauley, testifying before the senate naval affair* committee on hi* nomination to be undersecretary of the navy, wax naked , whether Hannegan or any other government official# had any financial intereat in hia oil and i other business enterprises. “I recall none.” Pauley said. Sen. Cltarlea W. Tobey. R. N 11.. asked Pauley whether he ever suggested that Hannegan i join him In an oil venture Pauley, former treasurer of the I iH-mocmtic national committee, raid he did "casually mention' to Hannegan within the last two I year* that hia associates were bringing in a new well. He aald be suggested that it might prove a profitable venture to buy other acreage in the area “The well came in. but it looked like the main structure was running in another direction already tied up l>y other littereats.” Pauley said. He said the idea of buying additional acreage wax dropped liecause "it would have b.-en no run for your money.” He said that held true in hia own case as well ax for Hannegan. Pauley couldn't remember when he discussed it with Hanm gall, but pointed out he bad known Hannegan only since he became Democratic national chairman early in 1943. He said be wax not xiiie whether llatinegan held an official government position at the tints Pauley took exception to the ’ “implications'* in Tobey's questions He protested that the Re publican senator was trying to make it look like he suggested business propositions to friends only because of their governmetU 1 connections “it wax your idea to be helpful to Hannegar. an! help him J make some money.'' Tobey suggested. “That is true as regards my business associates generally.”| Pauley replied. The idea of any business venture, he said. Is Io risk the investment in a proposition that looks profitable. Tobey suggested that oil "permeates a good deal of what goes on in this country"—tn politics as well as government. “It is also one of the most essential ingredients of mechanized warfan-.” Pauley replied, “if we had not had the abundance we possessed wu would not have achieved our victory over the enemy.” Methods Pauiey used in a California oil fight seven years ago became an issue in the fight for confirmation John L Ackerman, fornu-i Loe Angeles public relations counselor, told the naval affairs committee of Pauleys financial activities in the California oil fight. The contest involved a 1929 referendum on a state law setting up a quota basis for oil sales J Small independent producers initiated the referendum against the opposition of big producers. Although’ sti independent producer himself, Pauley sided with the big interest,* in a campaign I to defeat the referendum, which was no. f* in the November. 1939

The Independents won despite Ackerman's guess than j more than 1.1.Db0.000 was spent against them Ackerman testified that Pauley , paid out between 923,0 mi and |15,000 m cash—not checks to pubi Usher Hum Clark.

Washington. Feb. 19— (UP) — Col. Walter C. Phillips, chief of staff to Lt Gen- Waiter C. Short at Pearl Harbor, aald today that the army’s Pacific high command ■ used its few available aircraft for I training, rather than long range patrol, in the period preceding the Japanese attack. He told the congressional Pearl 1 Harbor committee that this was done on the assumption that the War Department “would not be so foolish” m to withhold vital information indicating the imminence of attack. Phillips said that abort interpreted the army's wa-ning of impending "hostile action” to mean sabo tagc. *We are absolutely sure they) meant sabotage and not some other utitnentioned form of 'hostile uc-> tion', ” he >«aid Preceding Phillips as a witness was Col. Robert Sehukraft, army' signal intelligence officer in 1941. j Sehukraft testified thut he saw a Japanese "winds" message several days In-fore the Pearl Harhor at-j ta<k. but Immediately determined it was not authentic. This "winds” message did nut conform with the pattern of the I code set up by the Japanese*, Schu ' kraft rcaid. Phillips said the high command at Hawaii had been warned tba' an attack would be expected In the . Philippines. Kia. Guam, or Up ipeo He indicated that army warnings did not justify using the six available 11 1’ Flying Fortress- ' * *. needed for training activities. ; for scouting patrols Phillips substantiated earlier testimony by Short that lhe general i .had been instructed to take no steps that might alarm the public, and not to inform any mon- than the "minimum essential" number of officer* of warnings. Ho said that Short did not have access to “magic” Intercepts of Japanese messages then availabhiu Washington. i “On the basin of iutelligencc frnm Washington, on the basis of what the navy thought, and in reliance on the effectiveness of the most complete reconnaissance the navy could furnish, we felt that preparation to defend against a bare possibility should l>e weighed against the urgent need to continutraining," he said. The navy, Phillips said, had the job of long distance scouting and patrol, but were limited by war plans calling for a taid on the Marshall islands in case of Japaneve overt actions. He told the committee that no j instructions were received from : Washington to discofitiaue training of air crews for Gen Douglas Mac- . Arthur in the Philippines, and it was assumed that such IM true lions would be xent if the situation warranted. o — Tf-arfa In a Goca Town — Osorto*
