Navy Report Produces Sharp
Disagreement From Adm.
King On Fleet Status
Washington, Aug. 30 U.R
Following is the text of the con
clusions reached by the army in
Chapter VI of its report on Pearl

As a prelude to the citation on
conclusions the following is per

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.

The news of Portland Shortstop

mind a conversation with Bea

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

OR. 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.

"I'm the O. D."

Kingman, Ariz., Aug. 30
(U.R Not all the migrant work
ers who earned big money in
west ':oast war plants are going
home rich. 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.

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.

the report says, and housewives
will be paid red ration points
and cash for the fat when it is
