Congress Approves
Courf-Martia| Delay
For Short, KimmeI
By the Associated Press.

Congress has passed a resolution
extending for six months the two
year period of the statute of limi-
tations applicable in the courts-mar-
tial OF Rear Admiral Husband E.
Kimmel and Maj. Gen. Walter c.
Short, who were in command in
Hawaii when the Japanese struck
two years ago.
Unless the two men are tried and
acquitted within the next six months,
Or another extension is granted, the
threat of punishment for alleged
d,rcliction Of duty will be removed.

Cen. Short were brought to trial
now for alleged neglect Of duty.
Period Shortened.
The Senate made one concession
to Senator Clark. 1t struck out the
House proviSo extending the statute
of limitations to one year after the
japanese war ends and made it
instead six months from yesterday.
The House approved the revised
version.
Senator Clark, an Army regi-
mental officer in the World War,
said in the Senate that Mr.. Stimson
and Mr.. Knox were guilty of "a dis
graceful dereliction of duty" in post
poning the courts-martial
The commanders were relieved of
duty soon after the Japanese attack.
- Asked Quick Action.
Senator Clark aimed his criticism
at the cabinet heads by way of voic-
ing his opposition to the House
approved resolution extending the
two-year statute of limitations so
Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short
can be brought to trial after the
war.
Senator Clark protested that there
still was time-yesterday- bring
formal charges against the two
commanders. Referring to Mr..
Stimson and Mr.. Knox, he added:
IF they continue to fail to per-
form their duty they should be
impeached"
The House resolution said both
Admiral Kinmel and Gen. Short
had agreed to waive the statute of
limitations and would stand trial
whenfthe military heads deem it
advisable. There was question
raised, however, whether either had
the right to waive a legal provision.

To Get Insight Of Work

At the invitation of Undersecre-
tary of War Patterson, 100 top
ranking executives of the petroleum
industry will don Army fatigue
clothes and put in a hitch with
troops at Fort Belvoir, Va, June 2
and 3.
The oil men will split up into
groups of six and be assigned to
platoons. They will be treated like
ordinary recruits and eat, sleep and
live with the soldiers They also
will engage in rifle and machine
gun drill, help build emergency
bridges and take part in a night
field problem
Mr. Patterson expressed the hope
the visit would promote mutual
understanding between the Army
and industry and would give the
petroleum leaders frst-hand view
of some of the uses to which the
Army puts their product.
All expenses, including transpor-
tation and the cost of food while at
camp, will be borne by the petro-
leum executives.
Recently a group of automobile
executives performed similar
hitch with soldiers at a Western
camp, and automobile union leaders
also have visited Army camps.
