Anybody possibly got more details on these plans? Thanx for any more info!

December 5, 1941

A political storm erupts in the United States when the Washington Times-Herald, New York Daily News, and the Chicago Tribune publish details of plans for mobilization for total war against German and Japan. It was later discovered that the plans were leaked by a Captain in the War Plans Division (Ed. Note: probably a Republican). The Captain passed the plan to Senator Burton Wheeler (anti-FDR D-Montana), who in turn gave the report to the article’s author Chesley Manly. The Germans gleefully turned the intelligence bonanza over to General Jodl, Hitler’s operations chief, to make necessary adjustments to their plans. The official word to reporters from the Whitehouse was “Your right to print the news is, I think, unchallenged and unquestioned. It depends entirely on the decision of the publisher and editor whether publication is patriotic or treasonable.”
