Remember Pearl Harbor No one, in this twenty-fifth December since the devastating Japanese attack of 1941, can forget that incident. Every magazine and newspaper in the country has been filled, for the past few weeks, with vivid desrciption of the event, as well as the circumstances which presumably led up to it. And it is no w r onder that the news media turns its attention back to 1941—for the world wall never be the same again after Pearl Harbor. Three days before the 25th anniversary of the Japanese at tack, Dean Clarence Manion made an historic broadcast over the Manion Forum network. Like other writers and com mentators across the nation, his subject was Pearl Harbor. But unlike most of them, his purpose w r as to tell the little- known REAL story of how we got inta World War XL It is a chilling chronicle: “On the morning of Decem ber 6, 1941, the President of the United States told our Con gress that December 7 i s “a day of infamy” because of the unprovoked and dastardly at tack upon the United States by the Japanese government. “Only a handful of people knew then what the President told Congress was false. It took years of laborious re search and persistent, prodding investigation by hundreds or reporters, historians and others to uncover and publish the truth that the President’s ad dress had deliberately con- Marityn Manion cealed, namely, that the attack on Pearl Harbor was not ‘un provoked’ as the President said it was, and that it was not a ‘surprise’ attack at all, but one that President Roosevelt himself, among others, had been secretly and hopefully an ticipating for months.” To those who have since been led to believe that the Japa nese took us by surprise on that dreadful day, Dean Manion’s words must sound incredible. But read on for his explana tion. “How did the President know’ in advance that the Pearl Harbor attack was coming w'here and when it did? This is an old story now but it is for ever fascinating. Months be fore December 7, 1941, our intelligence service had crack ed the secret Japanese naval and diplomatic codes. This stroke of good fortune enabled the President, our State Depart ment, and the army and navy to ‘listen in,’ as it were, on all official Japanese plans and in tentions. The fact that our government had broken the Japanese codes was a closely guarded secret within tiptop levels of our Government. The American people did not learn about it until President Tru man released the information in 1945. The pivotal point is that for practical purposes during the critical months of 1941, all of the Japanese military plans were continuously available to the White House— —Thus when the Japanese themselves knew that they were to attack Pearl Harbor Presi dent Roosevelt knew it too.” Why did the President of the United States deliberately get us into war and allow more than 3,000 American men to be sacrificed without a chance to fight back ? He had his reasons —and we’ll tell you w’hat they were in next week’s column. The Udy of tMe flOUSE by Mary Troy Homemaking Consultant to Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. "From The Kitchen Of .. Gifts that you make in your own kitchen are unique and can’t be duplicated. If you like to cook remember that cookies, cakes, candy or some special festive dish are always welcome for taste as well as thought. If you'd like to give more than your chef’s creation, present the food gift in a container that can be used again for something else. For example, cookies in a stainless steel mixing bowl, or a set of three bowls with different cookies in each. These bowls, which are good looking, but not expensive, are versatile enough to serve, not only for mixing, but to hold fruits, flower arrangements and even as refrigerator storage con tainers. Some of the bowls have rings on them for easy wall hang ing to save valuable storage space. Canisters are always a welcome gift and no matter what the kitchen decor, stainless steel food canisters will fit in. Fill a canister or two with the cookies or candies you’ve made for an added surprise. Present your candy or cake on a stainless steel serving plate. Cover candy with plastic wrap so that both goodies and plate are visible. Gifts of stainless have an heirloom look and require only soap and water care and never a dab of polish.

Hallmarks of Qualify LONG BEFORE the ancient world had market-places, hallmarks of quality identifying the proud craftsman could be found emblazoned on pottery, tools and fine clothing. The 2100-year old Grecian vase shown here bears the inscription: “Let the buyer re member: Neikas made this!” JAPAN’S SKILLED artisans of the 18th century assigned their unique “signature block” hallmarks only to their finest works. The hallmark of Makubei, an artist famed for his lum inous landscapes on porcelain, was reserved strictly for those pieces to be delivered to the royal Japanese household. PURE WOOL PILE The WORLD’S NEWEST symbol of quality is , the ingeniously-designed wool- mark. It is found only on quality carpets made of pure wool pile, and on other fine wool products. The wool mark on a carpet is your assurance that the carpet has passed rigid qual ity tests and that it> will have a dur able, lasting beauty.

HOW AMERICA GREW PIONEERS OF INGENUITY Our generation owes much to the hearty pioneers who forged a great country and a culture from the wilderness.

But an air of un reality surrounds her grim re cital because, as this attractive young teacher recalls the days and nights when her baby hov ered at death’s door, she points out the window at home where this same boy—seemingly healthy as a young Tarzan— is now swinging from a low branch of a towering maple tree, grinning and yelling, "Look, Ma!” "Today, as I think back,” she says, "I often believe that none of this happened at all, that it was just a frightful nightmare, that I was never told my baby was dying, and that my brother, a rabbi, hadn’t really raced down here from Utica to conduct the fu neral service.” There is no air of unreality, however, about the records at Boston City Hospital where young Mark received treat ment at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center and to which he regularly rei irns for check-ups. Mark, a second child, was premature by six weeks and weighed only 4 lbs., 10 ounces at birth. Doctors soon estab lished that he had a gross ob struction between the small and large intestine. In the next four months, five operations were performed to remove the block and to repair a perfora tion in the small intestine. Most of this period the infant was fed intravenously. His weight dropped to 2^ pounds. The doctors feared he might die at any hour. The suggestion was even made that Mrs. Bessell sign an autopsy permit in advance because it appeared the full force of the 1961 hurricane would soon slam into Boston making it impossible for the family to reach the hospital from their home 18 miles away. "I wouldn’t go along with the suggestion about the au topsy permit, although it was meant well under the circum stances. Also, I could not bring myself to fill in and return the birth certificate to the proper authorities although I had been warned that I was breaking the" law in holding it back. “The only way I can exp]|dh my hesitancy about signing the birth certificate and the autopsy permit,” she contin ued, “is that, during much of those four months when I seemed to be living on a see saw or on a pogo stick, up and ONCE AT DEATH’S DOOR bacausu of sovero birth dofoct, Mark B#»- soll, Natick, Mass., survived five operations in his first four months of life to grow into tho normal tree-climbing four-year-old shown here. down all the while, I could not convince myself that a 2V6 lb. infant, lying inert in an in cubator, was a real living baby. Also, I had been told so often not to expect him to live.” At the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center at Bos ton City Hospital, Dr. David Ingall, the medical director, says of Mark’s recovery: “You’re simply compelled' to regard this as a miracle—a medical miracle, a miracle of faith, a spiritual miracle.” i G 1 GOOD TO GIVE I For That Man of Yours!
