X Kimmell, Short Handed Major Share of Pearl Harbor Blame (Story also on page 1) WASHINGTON, July 20-iO-Both the majority and minority reports on the causes of the Pearl Harbor disaster, released today, agreed that Adm. Husband E. Kimmel and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short, navy and army commanders in Hawaii, had not measured up to the responsibilities given them. Their commands were acknowledged not to have been on an all- Isoms Return From Vacation In Middle West SWEGLE Mr. and Mrs. Frank 3 Isom returned to their home on Sunnyvlew avenue a few days ago from a ' two week's vacation trip to the middle west.

The majority reported, how ever, that "the errors made by the Hawaiian commands were errors of judgement and not derelici tions of duty." Thus it rejected a finding of "dereliction of duty" made by a presidential commis sion, headed by then Supreme Court Justice Owen J. Roberts, which conducted an investigation in the weeks immediately after the disaster. The majority. In their conclu sions, named no names of military men in Washington who in their opinion fell short in performance. But the report criticized the intel ligence and war plans divisions of both the army and navy. The majority also made this general observation: "The war and navy departments were not sufficiently alerted on Dec. 6. and 7. 1941. in view of the imminence of war. War Department Blamed On the point of army and navy failures in Washington, the major ity report said the war plans di vision of the war department "failed to discharge its direct re sponsibility" to advise Short that he had not properly alerted his command. Short had reported he "alerted agairu-t sabotage." And it said the war plans and intelligence divisions of both war and navy departments failed to "give careful and thoughtful con sideration" to decoded Japanese messages disclocing Tokyo inter est in where American warships were berthed in their Pearl Har bor 'base. Their report made these recom mendations: l.t Immediate action? to insure unity of command at all military and naval outpoMs. 2.

Congress, it was added, should study changes in the espionage laws and in the communications act. The latter law prohibits wire-tapping by military intelligence officers as well as by others. 4. That an appropriate senate or house committee investigate "the activities of Col. Theodore Wyman, jr., while district en-! gineer in the Hawaiian depart- I ment." Wyman was in charge of j defence and, other army construe- tion in Hawaii at the time of the Japanese attack. Much of this construction watf behind schedule. It was touched on but not devel oped in detail by the pearl Ha- bor committee. System' Responsible 5. That the var and nayy de partments consider adopting 25 "supervisory, administrative, and organizational principle" which were set forth, indicating belief that organisational deficient les" in effect the "system" made Pearl Harbor pnble, the major ity said the changes were pro posed "in the farnest hope that something constructive may be be accomplished that will aid our national defense and preclude a repetition T the disaster."
