Funds for this post war con

previous budgets.
Bride To Cost $100,000
Replacement of the bridge
over Rogue River at the town of

mately $100,000, the county
judge said. The present bridge
is more than 50 years old. Real

Record sale of county lots In

Kimmel Reveals Threats Received After
Pacific Fleet
Washington, Jan. 16 (U.R)
Adm. Husband E. Kimmel, de
posed commander of the Pacific
fleet, said .today he asked the
navy to retire him after the
Pearl Harbor disaster only be
cause he was officially notified
that Lt. Gen. Walter C. Short,
his army counterpart In Hawaii,
had asked for retirement.
Short was commander of army
defenses at Hawaii when Japa
nese raiders swooped in on Dec.
7, 1941 and delivered a crip
pling blow to Kimmel's fleet
anchored In Pearl Harbor.
Kimmel related the circum
stances of his retirement to the
Congressional Pearl Harbor In
vestigating committee.
Threats Received
He also disclosed that in the
days after Pearl Harbor, when
Kimmel had been subjected to
"crucifixion before the public,"
he had received letters "taking
me to task and even threatening
to kill me."
Before Kimmel began testify
ing on examination by commit
tee counsel in support of his
charges that the Navy depart
ment was to blame for the Pearl
Harbor disaster, the committee
voted to call former Supreme
Court Justice Owen J. Roberts
as a witness.

Both Kimmel and Short were

Both were placed on the retired
lists a few months later. Kim
mel was retired with the rank

Handicap Claimed
Kimmel opened his testimony
before the Congressional com

that the Navy department by
withholding vital information
denied his Pacific fleet a fight
ing chance to avert the Dec. 7,
1941, disaster.
The circumstances of his re
tirement were raised under
questioning by Committee Coun
sel Soth W. Richardson.
Kimmc-1 related that he re
turned to San Francisco upon
being relieved of his command
at Pearl Harbor. He said that
on Jan. 25, 1942, he was In

the request of the late Secretary
of Navy Frank Knox.
Charges Prepared
He said he learned through

that Knox had directed prepara

preliminary to bringing him to
trial at court martial some time
In the future.
Neither Kimmel nor Short
ever has been subjected to court
martial trial for the Penri ii,.r

navy and army have said no

considered he had been treated
unfairly. He submitted to the
Congressional committee a shoaf
of correspondence with Stark
