Marsh urged that the lines bo made to prove they were en titled to the relief "beforo you make this concession." Railroad witnesses charged the reductions wcro not now justified, that they wore dis criminatory against shippers not situated along land grant rail roads and that the government had been more than compen sated for the granted lands. They said further that the cuts mada a "fair and just" national rate structure impossible and threatened the postwar security of the roads because of the un certainty of the amounts the government would recover in disputed claims. This stand was supported by railroad labor representatives and trucking interests. Among those supporting re peal of the rates was K. C. Batchelder, traffic manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, Seattle. 15-Year-Old Boy Confesses Killing Schoolmate SPRING FIELD, Mass., June 14 (P) Standing on the thres hold of the district courtroom. 15-year-old William Roach tried to plead guilty today to a charge that he hrd murdered his school mate, Carolyn Bennett, 14.

German Alien in Charge Of Hawaii Construction, Reports House Committee WASHINGTON, June 14 (A') A congressional coimuiUcu'N In quiry liilo delayed defense, pre parations at Pearl Harbor pro duced a report today highlight ed by descriptions uf yachting parties given (or the army col onel In charge of construction In Hawaii by a Ciermjin-born con tractor who held war department contracts for the work. The report, by the house mili tary committee, culled on the urmy for "further explanation" of what it termed "management" on tho part of Col. Theodore Wy man Jr., und why tho contracts had been awarded to Hans Wll helm Kohl, then u Gorman alien although ho had been a resident of the United States since HHU. He was nuturullxud, the commit tee said, only three months be fore tho sneak Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Asserting there were unex plained delays in construction, particularly In building tin air craft warning system, the report said that had the system been completed on schedule the attack on the Pacific bastion might hava been robbed of much of Its sur prise. The committee, saying It could not understand "why a man known to he u German alien" was put In charge of tho work, devoted a portion of its report to Kohl's personal background, not ing that he "braggrd of close ac quaintance with ull visiting Ger man diplomats and persons of high rank." wymon and Rohl met In Los Angeles in 1035, the committee stated, and "developed very close social relations" which led, the report added, to parties aboard! Rohl's yacht, the "Humonn." Among entertainment the com-, mittee said Kohl provided for; the colonel were "wild drinking; parties" at which "cheap-looking type of young girls paraded in; and out all evening." 1 The long report contained no: conclusions and only brief corn-! mittee comment. Whether addl- tlonnl reports of the cose would! be made, said Chairman May ff Ky.), depends on future develop ments, adding: "The next move Is tip to the war department. H, Ralph Burton, committee Investigator who prepared the re port, said his last Information was that Rohl still was In busi ness In Los Angeles. Rohl was a molor stockholder In Hawaiian Constructors, a joint contracting venture which held $125,000,000 in contracts (or work in Hawaii, Alaska and South Pacific Islands. Wymon, 88-year-old veteran of tho last war, wus an engineer of ficer in charge of defense con struction in the Hawaiian and South Pacific areas. He Is now stationed overseas. The committee said that de spite knowledge that Rohl was a German alien, the war depart ment, upon Wyman's reeommen. datinn, on December 20. 1940, entered into a contract with Ha waiian Constructors to Install de fense projects In Hawaii "which meant the safety and protection of tho United Slates." Less than two months before (ho Pearl Harbor attack, It add ed, tho department gave the com pany a contract to begin con struction of an air route by way of Christmas Island, Canton, Nandl, New Caledonia mid Aus tralla.
