Capitol Hill Believes RepMay
Won't Appear for Probe; Next !
Step Up to Justice Department !
By the World , Staff of the Associated Presa
WASHINGTON On Capitol Hill odds are heavily against the
chnce of Rep. May ( D-Ky ) ' appearing before the senate war in
ictigatinc committee to explain his part in a munitions combine's
wartime operation.
The betters predict that he won't come voluntarily and that tta
committee won't attempt through legislative action "to force him to
tertifv under oath. The subpoenal
r 1 -
served on May on Friday is not
expecte-d to result in his appear
ance because enforcing it would
involve too many legal compli
cations

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-

out alert when Japanese bombers
hit Pearl Harbor Dec. 7. 1941.
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. "A complete integration of
army and navy intelligence agen
cies in order to avoid the pit
falls of divided responsibility."
Freer Intelllsenee Agencies
3. Effective steps "to insure
that statutory or other restrictions
do not operate to the benefit of
any enemy or other forces inimi
cal to the nation's security and to
the handicap of our own intelli
gence agencies." 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."
