By WILLIAM T. PEACOCK
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24—(AP)—Sumner Welles, form-
er undersecretary of state, said today that as early as mid-
September of 1941 he regarded war with Japan as "prob-
ably Inevitable."
He told congressional investigators of the Japanese at-
tack on Pearl Harbor that in his opinion only "complete
acquiesence" in Japan's policy of aggression could have fore-
stalled hostilities. In fact, the Japanese pronosals of Nov.
20. 1941, amounted to an "ultimatum," he said.

gusan R-Mich\ Welles said ho did
not know, however, what infor-1

by the state rlenarlment to the wai l
and navv denartmonts. Secretary '
of State Hull handled that, he said. 1
but added an expression of heli'd !
that military and diplomatic
phases of the Pacific situation |
were being coordinated.

as one of the ‘'influential per-
sons. with whom Japanese Am-
bassadors Nomura and Kurusu
were dealing in tho critical
days immediately before t h e
war. H« caid, however, that the

By MARY L. KENNEDY
UVALDE, Tex., Nov. 24—(AP)—Fifty years ago, John
Nance Garner, a sandy-haired young lawyer, who unknow-
ingly held the vice-presidency in his hand, married Ettie
Reiner in the little town of Sabinal.
Ettie was as capable as she was pretty, and knew typing
and shorthand. Together they went ahead to the Texas leg-
islature. on to the national congress, up to the speakership of
the house and finally to the vice-presidency. Now celebrat-
ion their qolden weddinq anniversary, they look back on a
half century filled with a rare wealth of honor happiness and
devotion.

friends is not here to greet them

"used to come in our office,

Objectors On Hunger Strike
WALDPORT, Ore., Nov. 23—f/l’i
—Six conscientious objectors were 1
still hunger-striking today, but the;
other six faster,s had returned to
the camp mess hall.
The men began their hunger
strike Nov. 20 in protest of "slow
demobilization of conscientious ob-
jectors" and their projected trans-
fer to other camps or service units
which they had not chosen. The
camp here closes Dec. 15.
You'll Speed Reconversion
AUSTIN, Nov. 24—OT1)—There,
were more automobile thefts in i
Texas in October than in any I
■single month since 192.7, Public,
Safety Director Homer Garrison
said today.
There has been a general in-
crease of 23.32 per cent in crimes j
of all descriptions, said Garrison,;
differing with M. W, Acres, Fede-
ral Bureau of Investigation Agent i
in charge at San Antonio, who j
said yesterday that unprecedented i
co-operation among law enforce- ■
ment officers would forestall any |
postwar crime wave in Texas.
Garrison believes the postwar]
crime wave is here.
"It is the inevitable thing that j
follows in the wake of all war-,"]
he said. "Homes are dislocated, the ]
people have been upset, criminal i
who had been making good money ]
in war industries are now out of j
jobs and back at their old ways.
For the past four or live years
we have been predicting a mine
wave. That crime wave is well-
started now.”

The first of
