The development came at the i end of the third day’s testimony of Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel.
He told the committee that Admiral William F. ‘ Bill” Halsey, the task force commander who had placed his force under “war orders” as it sailed for Wake island a few days before the attack, had been ordered by him only to “use I your common sense.” But Halsey j had ordered his men to sink “every ! Jap ship they contacted,” and had armed all his planes lor the voyage. Earlier Kimmel told the committee that the Japs had outsmarted our “best brains” in devising the shallow water torpedoes that all but destroyed the U. S. fleet in the attack.
The Churchill question came up in open hearing after the committee had excused Kimmel for the day, and he had urged his four man counsel, “let s get the hell out of here.”
Ferguson told fellow committeemen he wanted to question Churchill about his Atlantic conference with the late President Roosevelt in 1941, particularly as it concerned Anglo-American far east commitments.
Rep. John W. Murphy, D. Pa., protested that Churchill was in this country for a rest. Sen. Scott Lucas. D.. 111., asked Ferguson if he thought it would be fair to call the British leaa?r since he is "a citizen of another country.”
“It makes good headlines,” Murphy commented. “I think we should be more confined to what happened at Pearl Harbor than putting I out headlines.”

Art fraternity sponsors show
Examples of the fine arts, designing, and architecture will be included in the February art show being sponsored by Delta Phi Delta, national art architecture fraternity, under the supervision of Byron Davis.
As the purpose of the show is to promote serious lower division art work, the sophomore who demonstrates the most outstanding ability along these lines will be rewarded with prizes of cash, merchandise, and certificate awards.
The show will be open to the public as well as to university students and faculty.
The College of Architecture and Fine Arts is planning to sponsor a similar show next term. Members of all grades may participate in this event, which ’ is scheduled to run two weeks. The public will be admitted to this show, as to the other.
It is hoped that these activities will make students aware of the “need for a new rennaissance of art on the Pacific coast,” according to Byron Davis.
of G.I. s banned by General Ike
Possible courtmartial faces order violators
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17—(HE) — Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff, disclosed today that he has banned all further G.l. mass demobilization demonstrations.
His order automatically carries the threat of court martial against any offender. Lt. Gen. Robert C. Richardson, so advised officers under his mia-Pacific command at Honolulu.
Eisenhower, who revealed the ban in tr~*imony before a senate sub-committee on demobolization, emphasized that individual complaints are not forbidden.’’
“But the time for mass demonstrations is past,” he said. “With publication of the army’s demobilization policy, demonstrations could serve no useful purpose.”
The order was foreshadowed Tuesday when he announced the revised demobilization program at a joint meeting of the house and senate. He said then that further demonstrations would serve no was necessary to “replace hvs*»rK useful purpose and that it now with calm judgment and sounu discipline.”
First evidence of such an order came Wednesday when Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, U. S. army commander in Europe, forbade further G.l. mass demonstrations. Today, Richardson transmitted a similar order to his mid-Pacific command, telling his officers that “further agitation” in behalf of demobilization “will not be tolerated.” Three enlisted men under his command at Honolulu were confined to quarters pending investigation of their ac-point score reductions were an-bilization since Tuesday — after tivities in behalf of speedy demo-nounced.
Meanwhile, It was revealed that the army “fully expects” to ask congress for authority to bring women into the regular army. This disclosure was made by Maj. Gen. Willard S. Paul, army personnel chief. He told the senate subcommittee that Wacs had done such a “grand” job during the war that the army expected to have a smaly group of them in the regular army. They would be volunteers. He gave no other details.
