Randolf (D. W. Va.), who beat CAA~ to the punch with a bill last June proposing 50-50 federal contributions which CAA Is now indorsing. Big question is how small communities listed by CAA as needing ports will be able to raise their share, For that reason congress will approach subject warily, Budget bureau may also knife CAA plan.

Home Building Bill

BILL FOSTERED by National Association of Home Builders will be presented to congress shortly to force OPA to rescind its order prohibiting landlords from collecting security deposits from tenants to insure against damage to dwellings, and sudden desertions. OPA and national housing agency are at odds over order. OPA says landlords are requiring deposits to evade cellings. NHA says deposits are necessary to protect government investment in FHA-insured dwellings and to prevent high turnover of war worker tenants. House investigating committee, headed by Rep. Howard Smith (D. Va) will issue report condemning OPA for refusal to modify order to permit deposit equivalent to a month's rent.

Administration Block?

Rep. Wigglesworth, a member of the house committee investigating the federal communications commission, protested vigorously when the committee voted earlier in the week to conduct in secret further hearings into the alleged “pressure” sale of radio station WMCA to For~ mer “Undersecretary of Commerce Edward J. Noble, Yesterday Rep. Wigglesworth, speaking on the house floor, * de~ manded, “is the administration trying to prevent the public disclosure of the part played by Thomas Corcoran, William Js Dempsey and William C. Poplowitz and other New Deal officials, past and present, in connection with this case?” He askéd if those men had “conspired” in the alleged pressure sale and If Mr. Corcoran’s influence had played a part in a decision to suspend committee hearings on the WMCA case eight months _ago. Mr. Corcoran, Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Koplowitz are Washington attorneys.

Corcoran ‘Front’

“Is it a fact that the arrangements between Mr, Corcoran, Mr. Dempsey and Mr, Koplowitz in the WMCA case were the same as those described in the adjustment of the Savannah, Ga., shipyard claim described by Mr. Norman Littell of the department of justice, where again Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Koplowitz are charged with being the ‘front’ while Mr. Corcoran remained behind the scenes and pulled the strings?” Rep. Wigglesworth asked. Mr. Littell had charged that Mr. Dempsey and Mr. Koplowitz were members of Corcoran “front” law firm in a case involving gavernment condemnation proceedings against the Savannah shipyard. He asserted that Mr, Biddle had urged a settlement of the case despite his (Littel's) objections. Rep. Wigglesworth asked why the administration had exerted “tremendous pressure to suppress the facts” in the WMCA case if Mr, Noble, Mr. Corcoran and the other attorneys were guilty of no wrongdoing. Mr. Noble, who is president of the Blue network, replied in a statement that Rep. Wigglesworth was “trying desperately to conjure up a public issue” and was “carrying a torch for a number of persons who seek to extract from the situation pron at my Sgpense. "

COURT APPEAL SEEN ON INSTITUTION TAX

A decision upholding the right of the state to tax income-producing property owned by fraternal, charitable, educational, religious and scientific organizations today was headed for an appeal to the Indiana supreme court. The decision upholding the tax was announced by Judge Earl R. Cox in circuit court yesterday.

Ky.) of the house military affairs committee: “It looks like a final decision. There seems nothing further for congress to do about it.” Senator Harlan J. Bushfield (R. 8. D.): “I think this administration doesn't want an investigation of Pear] Harbor,. The American people g are entitled to it, however. The solution probably lies in congress having its own investigation. Those men were fired but they are not subject to court-martial.” Senator A. B. Chandler (D. Ky.). “Adm. Kimmel and Gen. Short deserve an apology from those who made them wait this long to’ clear their names.”

Possible Senate Probe

Senator Homer Ferguson (R. Mich.), author of a resolution now nding for a senate investigation of Pearl Harbor: “I'd like the evidence and conclusions forwarded to the senate military affairs committee to ald us in determining whether there should be a senate investigation, The people want to know how this thing at Pearl Harbor could possibly happen and yet nobody be to blame.” In similar statements yesterday, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Secretary of Navy James V. Forrestal each announced completion of the separate army and navy inquiries requested by congress. Stimson reported that “several officers” in Hawail and here in wi had not performed their duties with necessary skill and judgement. He said Gen. Short already had been punished by relief from his Compan. Odds Against Change “In my judgment,” Stimson continued, “on the evidence now recorded, it (Gen. Short's relief) is sufficient action. My conclusion is that under all the circumstances the evidence now recorded does not warrant the institution of any further proceedings against any officer in the army.” Stimson said his own investigation would continue “until testimony of every witness in possession: of material facts can be ascertained,” and that he would review

"To Drop Pearl Harbor Trial

on Verdict

his present decision when all returns are in. But the odds against any change in his decision or any further action against Gen. Short probably would be quoted now at 1000 to one. On grounds that to do so would be prejudicial to the war effort and be the ety of American lives, timson ‘said he would not make Sis the report of the army investigators. Forrestal also marked the navy report “secret.” Forrestal’s announcement went a bit further in clearing Adm. Kimmel's record than Stimson’s on Short. Forrestal made no mention of Adm. Kimmel’s removal] from command or retirement. The navy announcement said: “The net result of the findings of fact and opinion of the Pearl Harbor naval court of inquiry is that the evidence now available does not warrant and will not support the trial by court-martial of any person or persons in the naval service, “The secretary in his findings upon the evidence before the court of inquiry and all other proceedings in the matter to date has found that there were errors of judgment on the part of certain officers in the naval service, both at Pearl Harbor and Washington.” Will Continue Inquiry Forrestal said he also would continue his own inquiry and that his present conclusion was subject to review. The investigations were ysred by congress and began last uly. Adm. Richardson figures in the

story only incidentally. He was|*

named commander-in-chief of the U. 8. fleet in 1040 and in 1941 was summarily removed before. his expected tour of duty had ended Naval officers frequently link that fact with later developments in the Pacific, asserting that Adm. Richardson was broken because he balked at = certain orders from Nhingisn regarding fleet disposijons. Adm; Kimmel, who succeeded him, evidently was more amenable to instructions from Washington. Any court-martial of Adm. Kimmel, the United Press wag informed, would have been accompanied by thorough exploration of the causes

basin, fearful of ther approaching allied tide, already were fleeing east along clogged roads reminiscent of France in the dark days of 1940. From the northern end of the 400-mile offensive front threatening Germany's lifeblood of fuel and arms in the Ruhr and Rhineland came the heartening news that flood waters of the and Meuse. rivers had begun to subside— a. sign that augurs well. for the impending allied struggles fof river crossings.

Once the Roer and Saar have been forced and muddy terrain hardens under sunny skies and freezing temperatures, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower can throw his tremendous weight of armor at full strength against the sagging lines in what may be the showdown battles for Germany. 1st Army Battering Ram

The American 1st army pushed a five-mile-wide battering ram across the approaches to Gey &nd Brandenberg for new gains on the southern flank of Duren, Roer river stronghold only 20 miles southwest of Cologne. First army infantry still were battling the Germans in the streets of Inden, northwest of Duren, in one of the most deadly combats yet fought in the West. (A Paris broadcdst said the allies had entered Duren, but more reliable reports said the 1st army still was at least three miles from the city.) Expand Sarr Penetration

Lt. Gen. George S. Patton's 3d army, steadily expanding the allies’ second penetration of Germany, sent powerful and infantry forces into newly-won positions along a 10-mile stretch of the Saar river before the Siegfried line fortress of Merzig in the Saar basin. Lt. Gen. Alexander M. Patch’s Tth army swung its northern flank to within 10 “miles of the German border at the eastern tip of France with a push to Zinsswiller, 10 miles northwest of the important communications and supply center of Haguenau.

petrol by the overland convoys of supplies from Cherbourg by rail or on the Red Ball highway is now removed. “I want more suppfles than we are getting,” the supreme commander has declared. And the biggest answer of all to Gen. Eisenhower is—Antwerp. Docks Cover 26 Miles

The port can handle all the British military tonnage which may be required for the armies in northwest Europe, and at the same time deal with an enormous additional tonnage of supplies for civilian use. Actually it is to be used jointly by British and American transportation authorities. There are 178 berths for big ships in the docks which have basins covering nearly 26 miles of dock frontage, the riverside berths stretching for three and. a half miles. All the small dock tugs are intact, and the river tugs have been brought back from England to which they were taken when the Germans occupied the” port. A corps of 250 sea and river pilots, all of them Belgians, are ready to take in the ships. All the cranes, totaling more than 540 of various types, have been left. And more than 90 per cent of them are in working order. Many of them

Clare Luce Asks Women to Save

: ad! 1 Smokes for Gl's PARIS, Dec. 2 (U. P.).—Rep. Clare Boothe Luce of Connecticut yesterday urged American women to give up one cigaret daily towards alleviating the warfront shortage which she saw in evidénce -during her congressional party's tour of invasion beaches at Cherbourg and Le Havre, “It is impossible to get all ‘the facts here but I am most anxious to investigate the shortage,” Mrs. Luce said when interviewed in her flower-filled suite at the Ritz. “In the meantime, I suggest that American women cut down on smoking as a patriotic duty. I myself have cut out smoking in the morning.”

CITY HOSPITAL CHANGES URGED

Telford Report Recommends Relief for Dr. Morgan as

Superintendent.

The city isolation hospital was the subject of major recommenda~ tions in a final report submitted to Mayor Tyndall by Fred Telford, city job surveyor, it was learned today. A full-time superintendent to release Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city board of health Secretary, from his present practice of sharing time between city hall duties and the hospital was among the recommendations. The return to active police duty

patrolwomen assigned to the hospital should be accomplished without delay, the report further states, since they are need more elsewhere.

Payroll Action Sparred

Immediate decision by the health board regarding disposition of the 1945 appropriation of $118,540 should be made, it was suggested. The money was earmarked for the hospital with the ‘provision that another ordinance be drafted specifying which jobs shall be retained. The present list of proposed jobs for next year is approximately $20,000 over the money that will be available, reliable sources said. A trained dietitician should be employed to plan more balanced meals with the adequate food bought for hospital patients, it was advised. In the interest of greater administrative efficiency, patients should be asked to participate more in the routine duties of the hospital. Without burdening them to the point where they would cease to remain voluntarily in the ‘clinic for treatment, each should be assigned certain duties that would ‘relieve paid workers and thus effect a saving of overhead, the report concluded.

the ruling made by the board Nov. 6 which was upset by Atty. Gen. James Emmert. Probe for ‘Conspiracy’

The fact that the governor is a Democrat ‘and the attorney general a Republican caused their conflicting views to take on a partisan character. What the committee seeks to learn is whether. or not there was a “conspiracy” to prevent Democrats from voting Nov. 7, by requiring them to go to the courthouse rather than permitting them to be qualified at the polls, it was explained. Democtats seeking the probe in Marion county have claimed that as many as 15,000 to 20,000 of their voters were disfranchised by the Emmert ruling and the subsequent bottleneck at thé courthouse where Chairman Green reported “7000 were jammed.” Mr. Tilson blamed the manpower (and womanpower) shortage for the “inefficiency” in courthouse registrations, it. was learned. Mr. Bradford pleaded “not guilty.”

Inquiry to Include State

While the investigation will begin in Marion county it will be expanded to include the state, wherever complaints have come in, the committee staff reported. So far complaints have come from Evansville, Gary, Terre Haute, Richmond, . Sullivan county and several other places, they said. Chief Counsel Robert Murphy of the committee will go to Indiana, as will Harold Buckles, chief of the in« vestigation staff. Others will be Mr, Shillito, Clifford Sutliffe (now in Indianapolis), Riley Shanks, investigator, and Attorney James Hines. “We will investigate all counties where there is any evidence of fraud or irregularities,” - Mr. Murphy declared.
