WARNING OF WAR GIVEN OFFICIALS AT PEARL HARBOR Washington, Oct. 6 (U.PJ Senate Document No. 159 en titled "Attack Upon Pearl Har bor by Japanese Armed Forces" is required reading for those taking part in the current crack er barrel discussion of the dis aster of Dec. 7, 1941. It. is on sale for five cents at the government printing office, Washington, D. C. There has been a rim on it of late but you might get one if you are inter ested. It contains ammunition for both sides of the argument al though It has been challenged as Incomplete and it does not purport to contain all the facts that were available at the time. ReadingMt now, nearly three years later, its most striking statement is that naval and mil itary commanders were warned 10 days before Dec. 7 that hos tilities were momentarily possi ble and these warnings "indi cated war and war only" with Japan. The substance of the po litical year controvery now cen tering around the Pearl Harbor disaster related to the sufficien cy or lack of sufficiency of those warnings.
