WOMAN,S REALM
GlOrHing Yourself
By AHcla Hara
FA seryIce Stan Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
 Simple language is a good part of American charm. Americans don't "retire"-they just Ego to bed" Fancy words were hard for a lady to get by with before the war-now they should be impossible.
 Voice teachers will tell you that the best American speech is simple in choice of words and in pronun- ciation. 1t is the woman who has no more familiarity with her lan- guage than 8 European gets from books. who says "I desire to pur- chase" meaning q want to buy" " who "attends the theater" instead of going to see a show" and who leaves you saying "Au reVoir. - not good -bye."
 Pronunciation also should be native. The adopted broad A strikes most people as trying -to-be- British even when 1t isn't-unless the hear CT knows definitely that the utterer was brought up on broad As. Be- sides, the affected broad A prac- ticalIy never is consistent, because speech is some thing we learn long before we learn to affect language, and we don't forget the first-ac- quired sound.
 NATURALNESS IS
 A REAL ASSET
 We fall back on them moreover, just at those times when we are intense about something and want to say it strongly, effectively. So if your broad A doesn't come nat urally, better skip it. In good American speech naturalness is all.
 Perfect speech, experts say, is unsccented, unmarred by colo quilisms. It doesn't immediately classify the speaker as southerner, mid -westerner, New Yorker, north erner.
 I'd say, rather, good American speech does indicate the speakers native section, but it also indicates that she has made the acquain- tance of tke dictionary The Dixie you all'' or "yaWl" sounds as out landian. away from home, as does the DoWneast "Ayah? Ayah?" But the speech from which every bit of sectional expressions have been excised is pretty flat and a little unnatural, too.

defensive information center but
the latter assumed the planes to be
friendly. Thirty-five minutes later,
the full fury of the Jap attack had
begun.
Even more surprising, perhaps,
was the disclosure that an American
patrol plane and the destroyer
Ward had co-operated between 6::33
and 6:45 that morning in the sink
ing of a small Jap submarine In
the prohibited area OF Pearl
Harbor.
Action Reported Early.
A report OF this action was made
to the naval base watch officer at
7:12 am, and Immediately trans
mitted to his superior officers, but
no alert warnings were issued based
upon this report"
A third ironical circumstance was
disclosed in the fact that final
warning message to both Army and
Navy commanders In Hawaii had
been dispatched from Washington
about $50 am. Honolulu timeJ on
the day Of the attack. The message
indicated an almost immediate
break in Japanese-American rela-
tions.
Every effort was made" the COM
mission said, Ito have the message
reach Hawaii in the briefest possible
time, but due to conditions beyond
the control Of any one concerned
the delivery Of this urgent message
was delayed until after the attack"

Both officers and men responded
Immediately In the emergency and
exhibited initiative, efficiency and
bravery in meeting the raid.
Except for a negligible number,
the use Of intoxicating liquor on
the preceding evening did not affect
their efficiency" the report said
at another point.
Oficial announcements Of Pearl
Harbor losses have listed one battle
ship, the Arizona, as sunk, along
with the target ship Utah.. three
destroyers and a mine layer, an
other battleship, the Oklahoma,

their obligations during the course
Of events leading to the outbreak
OF war, the undertone Of futility
and mis-estimation which were
basically responsible for the Nation
being caught Oh guard was dis
cernible throughout the recital.
Since the two ranking officers
were bluntly charged with the major
responsibility, however, 1t should be
noted that no parallel criticism, or
in fact any mention at all, was
directed at Maj. Gen. Frederick L.
Martin, Hawaiian Air Force COM
mander, who was suspended from
his post along with Admiral Kim
mel and Gen. Short.
The entire report is a dramatic
document, one which probably will
become required reading for mill
tary historians Of the future, and
which should insure through the
remainder of this war at least that
American forces never again will be
surprised because of an ill-founded
sense of security.
Leaders Didn't Confer.
Carefully, the commission traced
the preparations Of this Govern
ment for inevitable war in the
Pacific, credited responsible officials
for the drafting Of adequate de-
fense plans, then broke down the
sequence OF warning orders and re-
vealed developments which were
nullified at the final critical period
by failure of the two commanding
officers even to confer on the CO.

fense program.

finally had been sunk.
Major part Of the damage to ships.
1t was found, resulted from aerial
topedoes Of an obsolete type-altered
to increase their explosive load and
their adaptability to the harbor at
tack.
Devastating effectiveness Of the
attack, however, was traced In large
part to Japanese espionage, operat-
ing principally out Of the Jap con-
sulate in Honolulu, and flourishing
under peacetime restrictions on
United States counter measures.

Once the attack came, the COM
mission found that conduct of
omcers and men of both services
was beyond criticism, demonstrating
excellent training and high morale.
Ground grouping of military
planes as a precaution against
sabotage was fatal, however, and
brought destruction of so many
aerial units that no effective air
resistance could be operated nor
could planes get away soon enough
to trail the Jap attackers back to
their carriers.
Failure Of the aircraft detection
system to furnish reliable informa-
ton later In the morning also con-
tributed' to inability to locate the
attacking forces although searches
were made and at least one false
chase undertaken.

IS. The japanese attack was q
complete surprise to the COM
manders, and they failed to make
suitable dispositions to meet such
an attack. Each failed properly
to evaluate the seriousness of the
situation. These errors of judg-
ment were the effective causes
for the success of the attack.
10. Causes contributory to the
success of the japanese attack
were:
Disregard of international law
and custom relating to declara-
ton of war by the japanese and
the adherence by the United
States to such laws and customs.
Restrictions which prevented
effective counter-espionage.
Emphasis in the warning mes

Traced Back for Year.
The train of circumstances which
led to the climactic treachery Of that
December Sunday was traced most
precisely by the commission from
January "a, 1941.
On that date, 1t was revealed.
Secretary Of Navy Knox advised Sec
retary Of War Stimson by letter
that gravity of the Japanese-Amer-
ican tension prompted restudy Of
defense plans for Pearl Harbor.
Defense weaknesses, the letter de-
clared, rested in the dangers Of
attack on the naval base by bomb
ing or torpedo planes.
Acknowledgement Of this warn
ing was made by Secretary Stimson
and the commission found that
copies Of the letters exchanged were
supplied to Admiral Kimmel, Gen.
Short and Rear Admiral c. G.
Bloch, commander Of the l4th
Naval District. Adequate defense
plans subsequently were devised.
Meanwhile, the com mission
pointed out, Secretary Of State Hull
was keeping Secretaries Knox and
Sttmson constantly informed Of the
course of diplomatic relations with
Japan, information which was In
turn being passed along to Gen.
George c. Marshall, Army chief Of
stafI, and Admiral Harold r. Stark,
chief of naval operations.
Warned November II.
In late November, developments
became intensified and on Novem-
ber u Admiral Kimmel and Gen.
Short were notified that Japanese
American negotiations were vrtu-
ally ended and that japanese ac-
ton was unpredictable: that hoetili-
ties on the part Of Japan were
momentarily possible"
Although q communication from
Admiral Stark to Admiral Kimmel
on this same date spoke Of likli-
hood of a Jap attack on the Philip
pines, Thai or the Kra Peninsula.

patch in its overall effect As -

During this same period. there
were exchanges Of messages between
the intelligence services here and re-
lated units in Hawaii. Although the
