The Congressional investigation of the Pearl H arbor disaster should be neither a w itch hunt nor a white wash.

I t has become quite apparent that the whole story has not been told through previous investigations. I t is also evident that m ilitary officials are not anxious to have some o f the facts publicized, since they revea instances o f startling incompetence and negligence on the part o f many o f those who were responsible fo r the defense o f Pearl Harbor. It w ill be much better, however, fo r all o f us, including both politi cal and m ilita ry officials, i f there is a complete airing o f ail the facts, no m atter how embarrassing.

One is the private war waged in Congressional com mittee hearings between the "to p brass” o f the A rm y and N avy on the question o f a unified command. For weeks the generals have carried the battle in favor o f unification. From all ¡indications they have established a pretty solid beachhead.

We laymen do not understand the in and outs o f m ilita ry politics or the frictions and pealousies between the tw o services.
