LaFollette Jr. is tapped as chair. Rep. Estes Kefauver urges more staff as appropriations reveal Congress budgets pale beside other federal offices.

The piece sketches possible ends for Hitler including armistice terms, violent collapse, or self destruction, weighing Weygand and Petain roles, Eisenhower and Himmler actions, and the risk of a staged Reichstag fire.
