Hongkong Icicle Legend Remains a Laughing Legend
Leaves from an independent notebook recount a single icicle recorded in Hongkong’s history. A rickshaw coolie found a glistening foot long treasure, melted in sun as he rushed to show locals, then the dripping relic vanished at the hill’s bottom amid laughter and superstition.

Commission Approved To Create Atomic Energy Control Body
London January 22 UPI The United Nations assembly security committee approved a plan to form a special commission to study atomic energy control. The panel will issue recommendations only and cannot compel nations to disclose secrets. Forty six votes supported the resolution with unanimity claimed by chairman Dimitry Maniulsky though Tomas Cabill abstained citing railroad concerns. Notable figures urged speedy action as Bevin pressed for an immediate vote. The full assembly will consider the recommendation after the committee’s report. In Cofferville Kansas flood losses from 1943 45 reached about 1 million dollars, with two oil refineries suffering the greatest damage according to a chamber survey.

Short’s Testimony on Pearl Harbor Warning and Defense
The testimony details Commander Short’s claims that the War Department delayed or withheld critical warning signals before the Pearl Harbor attack. He accuses Washington of misjudging threats, failing to implement Rainbow Five, and mismanaging dispatch of decoded messages. Short asserts earlier alerts could have allowed forces to prepare and avert greater losses.

Kimmel Testifies On Pearl Harbor Aftermath
Admiral Kimmel wrapped a week of testimony asserting no resentment toward Roosevelt over his removal as Pacific Fleet commander after Pearl Harbor. Spectators and Rep Keefe praised his conduct as a message from Frank Knox, then secretary of the navy, about December 6 1941, allegedly influenced a later appearance before Admiral Hart's committees.
