The W ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Lt Col Robert s. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-It has now been three years since the backbone of the Pacific Fleet was virtually wiped out at Pearl Harbor, and despite the top secrecy of the ad- mirals and generals, some of the inside facts regarding that tragedy can now be revealed
 There have been two basic reas- ons for hush-hush secrecy and last weeks whiteWash of Kimmel and Short. One is the already admitted fact that several other officers in both Army and Navy-including some really top-bracket men-were involved. The other is the clash of opinion inside the Cabinet in 1941 regarding the wisdom of sending the strong note to the Emperor of Japan proposing that Japan get out of all China and offering a non-aggression pact if she would.
 Both Roosevelt and Secretary Hull felt that the United States had appeased Japan long enough; that during this appeasement Japan had reached out farther and far ther, even taking bases in French Indo-China, just as Hitler had reached out for Czechoslovakia and Austria before he finally precipi- tated war.
 Secretaries Knox and Stimson, however, felt that the United States was not prepared and that the note to the Emperor would bring war. They favored continued appease- ment and went on record in writ ing to that effect.
 In the end, Roosevelt and Hull overruled them. They felt that Japan could not be appeased any longer without serious loss of U. s. prestige and strategic position. The ncte to the Emperor was sent November 26.
 However, the written opinions of Knox and Stimson remain in the record and would have had to come out in any court martial of Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short. That is one reason for the failure to court martial.

NEW FLEET OF BRITISH
 ON PACIFIC
Graft Will Join American War Vessels to Bring
 Japan 10 Knees

LONDON, Dec. 11-A great new British Pacific Naval Command has been created in addition to the present Far Eastern Fleet
 It was created to join the United States sea power in an all-out offensive to bring Japan to her knees, the Admiralty declared
 This annotincement reflected Prime Minister Winston Churchill's promise that Britain would send the greatest possible forces to the Orient to help defeat Japan and the fleet is to be commanded by Admiral Sir Bruce Fraser who since August, has been. commander of the Far Eastern Fleet.
 Simultaneously, it was disclosed that the Far Eastern Fleet is to be centered in the Indian Ocean as the East Indies Station Command which lapsed when the Japanese overran the Malay Peninsula and captured Singapore. This fleet is to be commanded by Vice-Admiral Sir Arthur Power, who has been second in command under Fraser.
 Under the new set-up, it is be- lieved that Fraser's fleet will op- crate under the command of Ad- miral Chester w. Nimitz in the Pacific, and Gen. Douglas MacAr- thur in the Southwest Pacific, as strategy demands.

 The auction was one of the most unique ever to be held in Juneau.

Hundreds att tended the auction which was a most pronounced success Women proved as good at bidding as the men,,
 The auction required the services of four auctioneers working ill re- lays. Thus, when one shouted him. self hoarse another was available for relief to allow the first to get his second wind" and go at it again.
 The hall was damned until the dinner hour and even after the hungry mob went home for eats, esiepiloile bids started coming iik keeping the auction booming along until people returned downtown.

Associated Press War Correspondent
 MACARTHURS HEAD QUAR- TERTER IN THE PHILIPPINES, Dec. l1.--Four days after the Am erican 77th Division surprised the Japanese with swift landings on the west coast of Leyte Island, these battle-hardened veterans smashed through strong resistance yesterday to seize Ormoc, vital enemy port.
 The capture came in midafternoon early morning from the vicinity of camp Downes, on the southern out skirts of Ormoc.
 While the town was the Japanese reinforcement point for the entire Ormoc corridor and the loss rep resents heavy blow to the enemy, it does not mean that the Leyte campaign is concluded. There is still much heavy fighting to be done before Japanese forces both north and south of Ormoc are wiped out.

 Three forces are conyerging on the trapped Japanese. The 77th, pushing southward. is expected mo- mentarily to join with the Seventh, moving northward. The third force has already joined the Seventh after breaking through to the coast from the eastern side of the island.
