EWING, DEMOCRATIC LEADER, CONFIDENT

Oscar Ewing, Democratic national vice chairman, expressed confidence today that his party would capture one or more of the Hoosier congressional seats now held by Republicans in the 1946 election. Mr. Ewing met yesterday with Democratic leaders from the third, eighth and ninth districts, all regarded as “marginal” districts, and said he had received assurances that chances for a swing back to the Democratic party in each case were excellent. “We're not conceding anything in any Indiana district,” Mr. Ewing said, “but we're going to concentrate hard on those three which we feel should be Democratic and which have a normal Democratic

its so-called, “winds code”—indicating war with the United States— before Pearl Harbor. Weather Report Genuine He said he saw only one message in the week before Dec. 7 which might be interpreted as an execution of the code. It finally was interpreted, Capt. McCollum said, as a genuine weather report rather than a code message. He will be followed by other navy and army officers who knew the United States had broken Japanese codes prior to Pearl Harbor and handled the intercepted messages. The intercepted messages show that Japan in November, 1941, set up a special “winds code” to notify diplomats abroad of a break in relations, or war, with either the United States, Britain or Russia.

Testimony Conflicting There has been conflicting testimony before previous investigations, however, as to whether a final “winds execute” message ever intercepted prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Such a message could have tipped U. 8. officials that war was coming. ‘The committee yesterday received a report from Gen. Douglas MacArthur, supreme allied commander in Tokyo, that he could find “no evidence” that Japan ever implemented the winds code. Negative reports also were presented by the army, navy, state department and federal communications commission. The congressional committee encountered a sharp conflict in evidence Yesterday during testimony by two naval officers. Denies Zacharias Story

DETROIT, Jan. 30 (U, P.) ~Tiny Rosalie Giganti managed to smile today for the first time since she was rushed to receiving hospital Sunday after a rape-knifing for which husky Prank Lobaido was held.

Inspector Charles Searle of the homicide bureau said Lobajdo was eating regularly again. The suspect refused food the first day he was in jail, saying he was “nervous.” Story Coniradicted

The intensive investigation has yielded two reports from witnesses contradicting parts of Lobaido’s story. Ten-year-old Thomas Luster told police that Rosalie was in Lobaido's store the day of the attack and that when the boy left the store Rosalie was there alone with Lobaido. Roland Poirier, a neighbor, said when he went to the store at p. m. Bunday, it was locked. When he returned about 15 minutes later, Lobaido was behind the counter. Lobaido has told police that he doesn’t remember seeing the girl in his store Sunday and that he left the store for just a minute or two Sunday noon. Rosalie was found clinging to a gate post in the rear of his store late Sunday, her throat cut twice. She was rushed to receiving hospital * where she remained near death for two days.
