Bevin Carries Fight to Reds

By PARKER LA MOORE Scripps-Howard Staff Writer LONDON, Jan. 28.—Russia is on | the spot—in two embarrassing situ- | ations—as the United Nations’ se. eurity council reconvenes today. The atmosphere has been thoroughly cleansed and clarified by pain-| talking Ernest Bevin, British foreign! secretary. In the case of Iran, Russia is in| the position of a reluctant defendant seeking to avoid a showdown on her operations in Azerbaijan province. In the case of Greece and Java,) Russia is in an equally uncomfortable position of self-appointed prosecutor. That's because she has brought charges against British policies in those countries only ta find Britain demanding a thorough investigation. Of the two, it would appear the Greek-Javanese case may prove the more embarrassing since the convenient shakeup of the Iranian government at Tehran may delay action on that question here. This is an ironical situation since obviously charges against British policies in Greece and Java were intended as red herrings to divert attention from charges brought by the Iranian delegation against Russia.

Predicted, Zacharias Testifies.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (U. P.).—Capt. E. M. Zach-| arias, a specialist in naval intelligence, testified today that he forecast the Japanese at‘ tack on Pearl Harbor nine months before Dec. 7, 1941. Capt. Zacharias told the Pearl Harbor investigating committee he warned Adm. Husband E. Kimmel in: March, 1941, that if Japan started a war with the United States it likely would - begin with a Sunday morning attack on the fleet in Pearl Harbor, He said he didn’t try to predict the exact date that the attack would occur, Adm. Kimmel recently told the committee he remembered talking to Zacharias in March, 1941, but he didn’t recall the prediction. Capt. Zacharias was called as a tnéss because the corfimjttee found an affidavit by him in navy department files, written three months after the attack, concerning the prediction. Capt. Zacharias told the committee he could understand that Adm. Kimmel didn’t recall details of the conversation because as commander in chief of the Pacific fleet he was “a very busy man.” § Smith to Be Called He said he was sure, however,

NEWPORT, Ark., Jan. 28 (U, P.), —Mrs, Joseph Ossignac, former wife of the ghost marine of the Ozarks arrived here today to have a try] at untangling a mystery that had baffled the marine corps, police and loca residents. Mrs. Ossignac, who remarried three weeks ago, told newsmen she had not yet uncovered a clue that may solve the recent reported appearance of Pvt, William W. Langston, whom she thought was dead. But she said she had hopes of getting first-hand information before returning to her home in St. Joseph, Mich, Accompanying Mrs. Ossignac to Newport were her 8-year-old son, Duane, her brother, and her second husband, Marine Cpl. Joseph Ossignae; : Langston was reported killed on Iwo Jima last March, but last week a man, who claimed to be the former Newport resident, turned up on his home town streets. He talked with ofd friends and Newport residents, convincing most that he was Langston.
