UP) Pearl Harbor investigators split 8 to 2 Saturday with a Decmocratlc-Republican majority praising the "ability and foresight" of the late President Roosevelt and two Republicans insisting he must bear final responsibility for the naval disaster. Two other Republicans joined the six Democrats on the Senate House committee in reporting to Congress that the military com manders in Washington and Honolulu were chiefly at fault in fail ing to anticipate the surprise attack with which the Japanese began the war. This majority recommended chanKes in military methods ranpinp from unity ol command in the field to elimination of "brass walls between command ers and their subordinates. Senators Brewster (R.-Me.) and FciRUson (K.-Mich.) concluded In a minority report that the com mittee's six months' investigation had shown "the failure to per form the responsibilities indis pensably essential to the defense of Pearl Harbor" rests upon the late President Roosevelt and; Henry L. Slimson, former sec retary of war; the late Frank Knox, former secretary of the Navy; Gen. George C. Marshall, former Army chief of staff; Ad miral Harold R. Stark, former chief of naval operation and Maj. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, former head of the war plans division of the War Department. Charges Are Refuted The committee majority, head ed by Senate Democratic leader Uarkley, said: "The committee has found no evidence to support the charges, made before and during the hear ings, that the president, the sec retary of state, the secretary of war or the secretary of the navy tricked, provoked, incited, ca joled or coerced Japan into at tacking this nation in order that a declaration of war might be more easily obtained from Con gress. "On the contrary, all evidence conclusively points to the fact that they discharged their re sponsibilities with distinction, ability and foresight in keeping with the highest traditions of our fundamental foreign policy." 'Errors of Judgment1 Brewster and Ferguson along with the majority, said that a share of the blame for the sur prise element in the fleet-shattering attack must go to the Ha waiian commanders, Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short and Rear Arlm. Husband E. Kimmel. The major ity attributed this to "errors of Judgment and not derelictions of duty," the latter an offense that might be subject to court-martial action. In a supplement, Rep. Keefo (R.-Wls. ) expressed his view that the majority report, which lie signed, endeavored "to throw as soft a light as possible on the Washington scene." He contend ed General Marshall and Admiral Slark each had "failed to exer cise the care and diligence which his position required." Brewster and Ferguson de clared thntPresident Truman put EMSi save Many miles of service can bo lost by improper wheel alignment.

They said Secretary Stlmson didn't answer all of the questions put to him, adding that the com mittee didn't get many messages exchanged between President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. "The whole question of whether or not It would have been pos sible to avoid war by proper dip lomatic action and thus avert the Pearl Harbor tragedy was left largely unexplored," they con tended. Hull Also Drawn In They said iormer Secretary of State Hull "bears a grave respon sibility for the diplomatic condi tions leading up to the eventu ality of Pearl Harbor" but con cluded he was not a "relevant link in the military chain of re sponsibility stemming from the commander-in-chief to the com manders in Hawaii for the de fense of Pearl Harbor." The majority held on the other hand that Hull "fully informed the War and Navy departments of diplomatic developments and, in a timely and foreful manner, clearly pointed out to these de partments that relations between the United States and Japan had passed beyond the stage of di plomacy and were In the hands of the military." Short, Kimmel Criticized The majority report, asserting that officers in Washington and Hawaii "were adequately in formed of the Imminence of war," said: "The disaster of Pearl Harhor was the failure, with attendant increase in personnel and mate rial losses, of the Army and Navy to institute measures designed to detect an approaching hostile force, to effect a state of readi ness commensurate with the real ization that war was at hand and to employ every facility at their command in repelling the Japa nese." The report accused Short and Kimmel, the Hawaiian command ers, of seven specific failures: 1. "To discharge their respon sibilities, In the light of the warn ings received from Washington. 2. "To integrate and coordinate their facilities for defense and to alert properly the Armv and Navy establishments In Hawaii. 3. "To effect liaison and YOUR TIRES TOW CAR SERVICE Phone 352 Dunham's) Phone: 47 to exchange fully all significant intelligence." 4. "To maintain more effective reconnaissance with the limits of their equipment." 5. "To effect a state of readi ness throughout the Army and Navy establishments designed to meet all possible attacks." 6. "To employ the facilities, materiel and personnel at their command, which were adequate at least to have greatly mini mized the effects of the attack. 7. "To appreciate the signifi cance of Intelligence and other information available to them." At the same time, the majority criticized the Navy's Washington intelligence division and the War Department's war plans division for their handling of Intercepted Japanese messages, particularly the one which told Tokyo's en voys to deliver at 1 P. M., Wash ington time, on the Dec. 7, 1941 attack day, a final diplomatic ultimatum. "Notwithstanding the fact there were officers on 24-hour watch,"' the majority said, "the committee believes that under all of the evidence the War and Navy departments were not suf ficiently alerted on Dec. 6, 1941, in view of the imminence of war." In major recommendations, the majority asked for unity of com mand in the field integration of intelligence services, abolition of statutory handicaps to American intelligence work and tightening of anti-spy legislation.
