Truman Says A11 To Blame' for Pearl Harbor ' (Continued from Page 1 til the time of the reports yes terday had been the most fre quently blamed armed service commanders, want trials. The president said he had no objection to their side of the story being told, and agreed with a reporter's suggestion Short and Kimmel could make statements without going through courts martial. The president took' sharp issue with Rep. Andrew J. May, D., Ky., chairman of the house mili tary affairs committee, who ex pressed fear the army and navy reports on Pearl Harbor might constitute a "white wash." It was the first time any soil from the mess of Pearl Harbor had been rubbed officially on Hull Marshall and Admiral Stark. In no part of the official story was any blame directly attached to the late President Roosevelt. It seemed evident, however, Hull's major decisions bore Roosevelt's approval. In demanding trials, May said he w a n t e d to establish who, through possible "criminal neg lect," was to blame for the blood shed and the ships and planes lost at Pearl Harbor. Left Out Rep Dewey Short, R Mo., a member of the house military committee, who long has de manded that Kimmel nnd Gen eral Short bo given a chance to stand open trial, said now that Marshall and Stark have been accused, they, too, "should be given their day in court." Short and some others sug gested the official reports might have loft out some important de tails. Apropos of the defense of Mar shall bv Stimsoa and Truman, Rep. Short asked whether the staff thief was now being pro tected or shielded. "The full searchlight," Repre sentative Short said, "has not yet been turned on the deep, dark mysteries and secret of the Pearl Harbor catastrophe." Rep. Paul W. Shafcr, R., Mich., said Kimmel and Gen. Short should be tried and "exonerated if they are found not guilty." "Those who arc responsible." Shafur said, "should be punish ed."
