Scope: Attention is called to 1 T it i- - ,J 1 ed by the investigation of this board contains a great amount of evidence, both oral and docu mentary, relating to incidents and issues about which no con clusions are drawn. Evidence was introduced on these so that nything which might have had a bearing on the Pearl Harbor disaster would be fully explored. The board considered that its .mission implied the revealing of all pertinent facts to the end that charges of concealment wouiu ue luiiy nici. The navy board report produc ed s h a r p disagreement from Adm. King with its finding that 4V n-aconca nf iha float In Pparl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, was ne cessary. King contended Kimmel could have rotated the "in port" per iods of his vessels in less routine manner so that it would have made it impossible for the Jap- 7 anese to have predicted when there would be any vessels in port. Forrestal agreed with King s view. Forrestal said he could not agree with the court's . finding that friendly, cordial and coop erative relations existed between Kimmel and Short and that each tvas cognizant of the measures being taken by the other. "The system of mutual coop eration, of joint command, was not working effectively it fail ed," the secretary commented. Both Forerstal and King dis agreed with the court's finding that there was no information indicating that Japanese carriers were on their way to attack Pearl Harbor and that it was not possible to prevent or to predict that attack. Repeatedly the report made fhe point that Hull's 10 points f were regarded by the Japanese as an ultimatum which "touched the button" of war, although Hull himself did not regard the document as an ultimatum. On the morning of Nov. 27 according to the report, Marshall and Stark drafted a memoran' dum for President Roosevelt ask ing him that nothing be done that might precipitate hostilities. They said the army and navy needed more time to prepare. The report added, however, that this request came too late because Hull had already cast the die with his 10-point counter-proposals. President Truman released the bulky army and navy reports, and accompanying statements, at a special press conference. JOINTOIIL T Los Angeles. Aug. 30 U.R The news of Portland Shortstop Johnny O Neil's sale to the Philadelphia Phillies brinp,s to mind a conversation with Bea ver Manager Marv Owen on his lat visit here. During the series attention was focused on O'Neil, who was making one brilliant play after another at the short patch and basehit after basehit at the piate. In brief, the chunky shortstop's performance was a beautiful sight to behold. So, a couple of the boys asked Owen how much longer It would oe uniu za-year-oia johnny went up to the majors, whereupon Marv promptly answered: "Next year if not sooner."

CARLYLE TO JUDGE HEREFORO SHOW OCT. 28-29 It was learned today from John S. Day, owner of the Blue Moon Ranch and president of the Cal-Oregon Hereford association that Dr. W. L. Carlyle of nna- del Farms near Santa Rosa Calif., will judge the annual Cal Oregon show and sale on Oct 28 and 29. Dr. Carlyle is known the world over not only for his years spent as dean of agricultural col leges in the United States but for his practical operation of several famous ranches as well. Dr. Carlyle was dean of agri culture and acting president of the University of Idaho for a number of years and later dean of agriculture at Oklahoma A & M at Stillwater. From Okla homa he went to Alberta where he jointly managed three of the largest and most legendary ranches in the western hemi sphere. The ranches were the large Prince of Wales ranch at Alberta, the Earl of Minto ranches and the Flying U ranch owned by George Lane, minister of agriculture, in the dominion of Canada. Dr. Carlyle has probably judg ed more international shows than any man in North America. Among these are the Pacific In ternational at Portland, the American Royal at Kansas City, the Western Stock Show at Den ver and the Chicago International. fully. In a short time the latrine was shining. "Well," the corporal observed expertly, I guess it s all ready I only hope it passes the O.D." The other soldier pulled his cap out of his fatigues and put it on. The two silver bars glisten ed. "I think it'll pass," he said "I'm the O. D."

A Buckley field corporal bus ily engaged in the ignoble chores of latrine duty a few min utes before the officer of the day was due for the daily inspection pounced on the first khaki-clad man who strolled in the door. "Grab a brush," he told the luckless one. "The first sergeant told me to nab the first Joe that came in the door, to help me get this jernt cleaned up for inspec tion.

Some are limping back in the same rattletrap trucks and flivvers they came in. They're almost as broke as when they came to California a few years ago. Now, with their war jobs gone they're heading back to the one-time dust bowl, to tho east coast, and south to look for any kind of a job that'll feed their families. They're in the very small min ority. Out of the 650 cars that cross the border daily an aver age of 20 are full of those who are down on their luck. When thev came west a few years ago over this same "Grapes of Wrtth" highway scarcely any had even the price of their gaso line. This time they've got enouh to fill their tanks but not much more. Every now and then a big truck, loaded down with several families and all their household belongings, will drive up behind a shiny new car of a worker who made good in California. Thf poor workers aren't bitter about the fact that some of the others hit pay dirt and saved enough to buy new farms in the mid-west. They just wonder how they lid it. that's all. With the ones who are broke it's a struggle just to get home. But tney've discovered that the people of Kingman can be per suaded to heln out with cash and temporary Jobs.

PAUL CHICAGO SENIORITY RIGHT Washington, Aug. 30 The Veterans of Foreign Wars have broken with the labor unions over the question of seniority for veterans, VFW Legislative Chief Omar B. Ketchum indicat ed today. Recalling the VFW-CIO-AFL agreement of July, 1944, Ket chum said that while the agree ment looked to "voluntary re cognition by labor unions of the right to seniority for military or naval sen-ice," local unions have in practice "failed to grant seniority credit for the purpose of permitting a veteran to get a job." Ketchum's statement is in the VFW's official magazine In con-, nection with the organization's request to congress to pass a bill of Rep. Harold Knutson (R.. Minn.). It would require em ployers, when they hire a veter an as a new employe, to recog nize as seniority all the time he has spent in service since Sept. 16, 1940, plus an extra day and a half per week of service. The veteran would be required only to "demonstrate he is qualified for he position" within 90 days. fats, will be discontinued after Sept. 30, according to a bulletin from the Oregon state salvage committee received today by Robert A.
