further proceedings against any
officer of the army."
Court Of Inquiry
The navy's court of Inquiry
similarly concluded that the rec
ord "would not support the trial
by general court martial of any
person or persons in the nas'al
service."
Tho army's Pearl Harbor
board held General George
C. Marshall, chief of staff, at
least Dartially responsible for
the blow at Pearl Harbor, but
President Truman and Secretary
of War Stimson sharply rejected
such a conclusion, the president
stating "I have the fullest confi
dence in the skill, energy and ef
ficiency of all our war leaders,
both army and navy.
Criticism Of Stark
The navy's court of inquiry dl
rected criticism at Admiral Har
old R. Stark, chief of naval op
erations in November, 1941, and
who has lust returned from war
time command of the fleet in
European waters, to retire.
The reports renewed sharply
critical service analyses of the
actions of Rear Admiral Hus
band E. Kimmel and Maj. Gen
Walter C. Short, the navy and
army commanders in Hawaii at
the time of the Japanese strike.
' Both these men have repeatedly
asked for nubile trials.
Secretary of the Navy Forres-
tal directed in the case of both
Admiral Stark and Admiral
Kimmel that they should . m
hereafter "hold any position in
the United States navy which
requires tho exercise of superior
judgment.
No Recommendation
The army board made no rec
ommendation as to General
Short.
Secretary Stimson in a state
ment coinciding with release of
the reports flatly rejected a sug
gestion of criticism of former
Secretary of State Hull in the
peace negotiations with Nippon
envoys, in progress when the
Pearl Harbor attack occurred.

years in a -nazi concentration

You can't image what a relief
it is to get where you can
talk again after having been in
surroundings where for all prac
tical purposes you have been
deaf, dumb and unable to read
lips. Human conversation is a
good deal like the proverbial
water you aon t miss it untu
the well runs dry.

A T tne present moment, prac
ticaiiy all Americans in
Pans are here on official or semi-
omciai business, and so are
housed and fed in billets and
messes. One shudders to think
what would happen to any poor
aevn caugnt tnere without such
aids to living.
In America we have the no.
tion that houses are scarce and
hard to find, and do a lot of
talking about It. We really don't
Know mucn about the sub ect.
fo.- occasionally a house CAN be
found, even in. the most crowded
of American cities. In London
the housing situation is fantastic,

or allied troops in the city on
leave or passing through on re
deployment, plus all the govern.
ments in exne and their estab
lishments and all the allied and
United Nations missions you
una it easy to understand.
Downtown and residential
Paris were practically untouched
by bombing. An unknown but
very large number of Parisians
was taken out of the city in
various ways, including nazi
lanor drafts, etc., and by no
means all of them have got back.
Official records show more
deaths than births. But still the
city is jammed to its attics and
its closets and the general report
is wiai any Kind oi purely pri
vate housing is simply non
existent. There is going to be a LOT of
rehousing to do as soon as Europe
settles down to anything like
normal living again.
