Roosevelt Asks Japs To Give Troop Moves
Washington—(UP)—A near-climax in the Far Eastern crisis may come today when Japan replies to President Roosevelt's inquiries regarding Japanese troop movements in French Indo-China.
Well informed sources here expected Japan to disclaim any intention of using her forces there for aggressive purposes.
Such a negative reply—if it is made is not expected to satisfy this government inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt has asked Japan to state directly why she is sending so many men to Indo-China.
The President said it was a simple question and called for a simple answer, indicating that an indirect reply
BULLETINS
Mexico City — (UP) — Japanese minister Yoshiaki Miura and other members of the Japanese legation here have been summoned back to Tokyo, it was reported today.
Miura refused to comment on the recall other than to say he did not believe it was connected with increasing American-Japanese tension. He thought perhaps it had to do with "personnel matters," but did not elaborate.
Los Angeles—(UP)—The Tokyo radio, heard by the NBC listening post today, announced the liner Asama Maru had been ordered to Singapore and Borneo to evacuate Japanese nationals from those British and Dutch possessions.
stating what the troops are not going to do would be unsatisfactory.
Arrangements have been made for Japan's two ambassadors here—Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura and Saburo Kurusu—to present the reply to Secretary of State Cordell Hull today. There was no indication whether the department would make it public immediately.
If such a statement of policy follows the line of the Japanese News agency announcement that Japan can not accept those principles, the exploratory "peace" talks which have been going on here for several months are expected to collapse.
A spokesman for the Japanese embassy said today's presentation to Hull might include a general statement of Japanese policy in connection with the memorandum on basic American principles which Hull handed to Nomura and Kurusu on Nov.26.

Leaders in congress confirmed the accuracy of documents revealed by the Chicago Tribune, including the letter in which Mr. Roosevelt asked the army and navy to determine what it takes in the way of materials to beat the Axis. They said the study was concerned with production requirements rather than military manpower.
But the Tribune's copyrighted dispatch said the army-navy report to the President called for an American Expeditionary force of 5,000,000 for a land offensive against Germany in the summer of 1943 and that it contemplated total armed forces of 10,045,658 men.
The study formed the basis of the $150,000,000,000 (B) "Victory program" now being perfected for the President's approval. The "leak" caused some concern among administration officials lest it hamper efforts to "sell" that program to the public. The incident may make it necessary to announce details of the victory program earlier than was planned.
Publication of details of the army-navy study created a great stir in congress and in high administration places. However, the leaders of both sides of the foreign policy fight in congress were silent.
Washington — (UP)— Government investigators sought tday to learn how an ultra-secret war plans study, made at the request of President Roosevelt, leaked out.

Confirm Accuracy
Administration officials refused to confirm or deny the article and indicated they were more concerned about how the documents came into the Tribune's possession than the fact they had been published.
'United States Will Enter'
Miss Handler Will Speak At YM-YW Assembly
Miss Leona Handler, director in the Lawrence Unitarian church, will be the speaker at the all Y.M.C.A.-Y.W.C.A. membership assembly at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Representing the Unitarian church, Miss Handler worked in Transylvania for a year and a half. She returned to the United States six months ago.
Among details in the Army-Navy report, the Tribune said, was one that said "Germany and her European satellites cannot be defeated by the European powers now fighting against her" and the conclusion that "It will be necessary for the United States to enter the war, and to employ a part of its armed forces offensively in the Eastern Atlantic and in Europe and Asia."
President Roosevelt has issued no statements regarding the dispatch, but he will have an opportunity to
The program of the monthly assembly will be based on the general topic of significance of Christmas in the world today. Miss Handler's discussion will be centered around this theme.
Scarab Delegates Return From Meet

Berger Gives Landscape Tips
Arthur S. Berger, Toledo, Ohio, landscape architect, this afternoon told an audience in Fraser theater how to landscape their homes so that the maximum effect of beauty could be obtained. The title of his lecture was "Good Taste In Planning."
Yesterday Berger showed part of his collection of natural color photographs of flower gardens.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation declined to comment but it was considered a good guess that it will participate in the inquiry, if it is not doing so already.
Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said after a visit at the White House that "All Departments concerned" were investigating the "leak." White House Secretary Stephen T. Early had said the same thing earlier. It was assumed that the intelligence officers of both the Army and Navy were working on the case.
