Nazi leaders debated war with Japan before Pearl Harbor
At Nuremberg the German high command order from March 5, 1941 urged Japan to strike Singapore to force England down and keep the United States out of the war. Keitel warned attacks on American naval bases only if US entry could not be avoided. Kaltenbrunner’s plea of innocence contrasted with prosecutors detailing Nazi plans to starve Soviet citizens and seize resources. Goering Rosenberg and others faced accusations of invasion plans and economic plunder. Medical staff reviewed Kaltenbrunner's fitness to attend court sessions.

Lewis Attacks Truman Plan in Labor Dispute Debates
In hearings Lewis denounces President Truman's proposed fact finding boards for major disputes as an "evil" plan to appease millionaires and limit labor. He argues the General Motors strike could settle in 10 days with a fair car price and criticizes both company and UAW positions. He warns the bill would impose compulsory arbitration and trap 50 million workers in statutory irons while advocating liberty against government overreach. The narrative also lists U.S. wartime ship arrivals and Wisconsin servicemen awaiting return aboard several vessels with detailed names and home towns.
