Short, retired, Saturday issued the following s:atement in conjunction with the Pearl Harbor report: "It is the right of every Amer ican to have a fair and impartial trial. This was denied me for four years. At long last I was given an opportunity to present my side of the controversy before the highest tribunal in America American public opinion. "The majority report of the in vestigating, committee rejected the finding of 'dereliction of duty' by the Roberts commission but did find 'the Hawaiian command ers guilty of an error in judg ment.' This finding was made in spite of their statement that the War Plans Division of the War Department 'failed to discharge its direct responsibility to advise Short that he had not properly alerted his command. Short had reported 'alerted against sab otage.' - "The majority members of the investigating committee are en titled to their point of view, but I am satisfied that the testimony presented at the hearings fully absolved me from any blame and I believe such will be the verdict of history. As I have stated be fore, my conscience is clear." NEW YORK (U.PJ Adm. Husband E. Kitimel refused Sat urday to comment on the Pearl Harbor congressional comm'ttee report blaming him and Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short for the Hawaii debacle heralding America's en trance into World War II. Kimmel said he wanted to read the 250,000 word report thorough ly before making a statement.

'This would not only serve to give us a substantial highway and road fund but would go a long way toward arresting the alarm ing increase to the general prop erty tax," he said. This method of taxation would be fairer than an accelerated property tax would be, because. Judge Hurd said, "a non-propor tionate amount of liquid wealth is now in the hands of non-prop erty owners. There are many people earning upwards of $20 a day who don't pay a cent for county taxes." There are several states which use this type of taxation. Among tnem are Washington. California. Nevada, and Utah. With the ex ception of California, they are all states which have the same prob lem as Oregon, merely a large land area to maintain and a small MIDWAY ROLLER RINK Highway 99 South Open Wednesday through Sunday . 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunaay afternoon ... 2 to 4 p. m.
