Iralc 12nil Hays Ausin” Board WASHINGTON. Nov. L’7 (INS)—Former Secretary of State Cordell Hull today characterized as “infamous as the array of Pearl Harbor board charges that his final peace proposal to Japan “touched the button that started the war.” Speaking solemnly and striving to control the strength of words, the outspoken Times statesman told the committee: “If I could force myself as I would like, I would want all you religious-minded people to leave the room. I have it under that infamous, for months.” NOT PLEASANT TOPIC Hull told the committee the report of the army board last September criticizing him in part as “not a very pleasant topic to me.” Hull said he was “gratuitously brought in the picture apparently on the theory that Tojo (Japanese) premier and the Japanese military element, moving abreast with Hitler, were not actually doing so, but that this movement, with no preparation in the Pacific, with no tools on hand, was the cause of this force.” Hull, with blunt sarcasm, said that the theory being followed, “poor, innocent peace-loving people into the war.” KNEW JAP MOVES He added that “somebody who knows little and cares less says, ‘why didn't the United States make concessions?’ Any rational person knows just what the Japs were doing. They were off on this attack and they would not yield unless we lay down like cowards.’ Hull’s testimony on the army report of last September was brought out by Senator Lucas of Illinois, who objected yesterday to what he said was the board's “misrepresentation” on the "touch the button” charge. Hull said he was not a witness. The board, although he sent them some little data and information, he said he informed the three-man army panel he would be pleased to appear but that they sent word his presence was not required. MUST HAVE KNOWN Hull told the committee that Japanese movies in Washington most have known Japanese tofees were committed to action but may not have been informed that Pearl Harbor was to be attacked Dec. 7, 1941. He disclosed that when he gave Ambassador Nomura and his staff a surprise, Kurusu has famous tongue lashing the afternoon of Dec. 7, he had not received definite confirmation of the sneak attack on Honolulu. Fait after the Japanese diplomats presented another false statement as the diplomatic situation, with talk of “peace, peace, peace." Hull said he "took the liberty of talking to them in a way that would have been a little undiplomatic in other times." Hull said he had been unable up to that point to confirm a telephone report from the White House that Pearl Harbor had been attacked. He spoke out in denunciation of the two envoys, he explained "in view of the extreme probability" that the report was correct. Woman Loses License Mrs. Lucille Nichols, 35, of Center Line, began a year’s probation today and lost her driver’s license as a result of an accident on Nov. 11 at Van Dyke, near Lantz, in which two small children were injured.

They said they had no idea the small fortune he carried belonged to his father. Wilson revealed also that another Detroit officer was en route to Columbus to assist him in returning the three to Detroit. He said that Lt. Joseph Krug had left the Michigan city at 2 pm by plane to help guard the 519,112 on the trip back to Detroit. MORAL PROTECTION Malcolm, who now is not sure me wants to marry Betty Ann as he had planned, will be returned as a "police prisoner." Wilson said.

Although union and corporation officials in Detroit disclaimed any knowledge of the invitation, the labor department spokesman said the government is anxious to have the conferences start as soon as possible. If union and corporation officials accept the invitation, the spokesman said, they will confer separately with Edgar L. Warren, director of the U.S. Conciliation Service. EXPLORATORY TALKS. It is hoped, the spokesman said, that joint sessions will result from the ‘exploratory talks.’ The Washington disclosure came after the corporation refused to open negotiations with the L’AW-CTO as long as the union insists on wage raises tied to the price of automobiles “and assumed future profits.” The corporation bluntly told the 300,000 strikers; “You are treating a condition of lawlessness.” The union's immediate reaction to the refusal was to file new charges of unfair labor practices against C.M. The charges, which were supplemental to those filed three weeks ago, were handed to Frank H. Bowen, regional National Labor Relations Board director by Abe Zwerdling, union attorney. WON’T CHANGE MIND. Signed by H.W. Anderson, GM vice president in charge of personnel, the letter to the LAW made clear that the giant industry will not back away from its present stand, and that the next move must be to softening demands by the strikers if approximately 300,000 employees are to go back to work. In addition to the 200,000 who actually walked out on strike, another 100,000 GM employees are affected. Those are the ones who had been laid off by the company prior to the strike but who were entitled to participate in the strike. The union strike vote. The number of GM plants in operation was reduced to four when 2,500 employees walked out.

On Detroit Newspaper Carrying Both — International News Service and United Press Detroit 31, Mich., Wednesday, Nov. 28, 1945. Hurley Resigns Post! WASHINGTON. Nov. 27, 1945 — Maj. Gen. Patrick J. Hurley resigned today as ambassador to China and in a vigorous statement charged that the weakness of American foreign policy has backed the United States into two world wars. “There is a third war in the making,” Hurley declared. "In diplomacy today we are permitting ourselves to be made into a power bloc on the side of colonial imperialism against Communist imperialism. I am opposed to both. I still favor democracy and free enterprise." Hurley's statement endorsed President Truman's outline of American foreign policy but charged that professional diplomacy. Mats in the lower echelons were frustrating attainment of an announced policy aims. All Ward Stores here operating more than 90 percent of the regular employees of the four Montgomery Ward stores here reported for work today as the CIO inaugurated a five-day strike against the company. The strike is part of a nationwide work stoppage planned by the United Retail Wholesale and Department Store Workers, CIO. R. W. Rosevear, general manager of the Detroit Ward stores, said the threatened strike has not affected any of the local store. As the stores opened this morning there were 15 pickets at the Detroit store, 12 at Gratiot, 15 at Grand River, and 13 at Royal Oak. There were only 18 employees in all of the picket lines, Rosevear said. By noon, however, most of the picket lines had dwindled to three or four persons. Only six stores outside Detroit are being picketed and they are operating normally, Rosevear said. Roy Scoggins, Michigan director for the union, said that while all of the stores are not organized and no attempt was made to close them nationally, that the local strike is a success. He claims that more than 1,000 regular employees and several hundred extra employees failed to report for work this morning. Rosevear claims that only 10 percent are absent. Actress' Brother Suicide NEW BRIGHTON, N.Y. Nov 27 — Claude D. Normand, 57, brother of the late Mabel Normand, silent screen star, hanged himself in the cellar of his Staton Island home today, police reported. Frank Scriven, national executive secretary of the American Veterans of World War II, said that he will ask the veterans to stage a protest march to the U.S. Unemployment Service here. The Veterans’ Administration in Washington has announced the Michigan law denying compensation to Veterans participating in strikes is "similar to federal law." Schriven contends veterans are entitled to $20 a week compensation until Congress clarifies the veterans' act. Ford Begins Layoffs of 40,000 Men!

Page 1: 5 Cents ADS Boosts fares to Dime By JOHN CREECY A flat 10-cent fare on DSR buses and streetcars, to go into effect Jan. 1, was ordered today by the DSB commission. Accredited school children will continue to ride for 5 cents. Blind persons and uniformed men and women of the armed services will ride free. Free transfers will be issued to all passengers upon request. The higher fare structure was adopted upon recommendation of Richard A. Sullivan, who was appointed acting general manager of the system 10 days ago. “For some time the DSB has been transporting both its rail and coach passengers at less than cost,” Sullivan explained. “Unless this practice ceases quickly, there is ample justification for believing that financing of the system’s $20,000,000 modernization program will be jeopardized. Must Pay Way to Sell Bonds “To complete such a program the DSB must go into the money market. Unfortunately, investors are not likely to be attracted to bonds backed by revenues of a system that is not paying its way.” In urging commission approval of the raise, commission president Samuel T. Gilbert said he hoped the new fare structure would not lead to new demands for wage increases by DSR operators, already the highest paid in the world. “If the new rates leave any surplus after paying our necessary expenses,” he said. “I believe this surplus should be used for the benefit of the public, by providing weekly passes or shoppers tickets at reduced rates.” Sullivan told the commission that, during the first four months of the current fiscal year, the combined coach and rail operations have resulted in a net loss of slightly more than $1,000,000. COACH LOSS LIGHT “Nearly all of this $19,540,831,830 $981,305 —is chargeable to our rail division,” he said. “Our coach division has $19,540,831.” He said the losses were due mainly to the drop in passenger revenue accompanying the war's end, plus the fact that the expected increase in the passenger load under reconversion has not materialized. “It is significant,” he said, “that 72.17 cents out of every dollar collected is absorbed by employee cost. This compares with 66.99 cents for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1944, and 57.8 cents during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1941. CITES COST RISE “Throughout the last fiscal year, employee cost amounted to $27,085,319 an increase of $2,011,383 over the previous fiscal year and an increase of $14,697,712 over the fiscal year 1910-41. Maintenance costs also have risen sharply due to the increased cost of materials.” Sullivan cited five advantages for the new fare structure, in addition to the major point that it would cover the cost of service: Reduced Running time due to easier fare collection, Elimination of an awkward situation in which one fare is collected for one direction of travel on some lines and a different fare on the return trip. ENDS DISCRIMINATION • Elimination of discrimination between parallel coach lines where one fare is 6 cents and the other is 10 cents. • Elimination of discrimination between the Crosstown coachman who now pays 5 cents and the downtown coachman who pays 10 cents. • Elimination of a confusing fare structure under which six separate fares — 4 cents, 5 cents, 6 cents, 7 cents, 10 cents, and 11 cents—are being charged.
