Three weeks before war came, he arrived in Washington to settle growing U.S.-Japanese differences. On Pearl Harbor day, Nomura handed his country's last insolent note to Secretary Hull, waited silently as Hull replied: "I have never seen a document . . . more crowded with infamous falsehoods and distortions . . ."

Died. Joseph Patrick Tumulty, 74, shrewd Jersey City ward politician who rose to be the longtime (1911-21) secretary to Woodrow Wilson; in Olney, Md. After unsuccessfully opposing Wilson's bid for the New Jersey governorship in 1910, Tumulty joined Wilson's camp, became his closest political adviser. As a highly effective political balance to his scholarly chief, gregarious Joe Tumulty reveled in political dogfights, handled White House patronage, but was never noted for his verbal discretion. In 1919, when Wilson was stricken by cerebral thrombosis, Tumulty suggested that he be declared incapable of holding office and allow Vice President Thomas Marshall to take over. The two men parted; Tumulty opened a law office, wrote two autobiographical accounts of the Wilson Administration.

Assailed as a "merchant of death" during the early '30s, Pierre began to plow wartime profits into peacetime research, developed many profitable new chemical products (e.g., Cellophane, nylon, synthetic rubber). Resigning as chairman of the board of directors at 70, he devoted himself to philanthropy and gardening.
