| Resolution for Trial
|0f kimmeI, Short
By Dec. 7 Signed

President Roosevelt announced
today that he had signed. over the
objections Of the Secretaries OF War
and Navy, the resolution extending
for six months the time. In which
courtmartial proceedings may be
brought against Rear Admiral Hus-
band E. Kimmel and Mai. Gen.
Walter Short.
The President said In his state
n1ent that heads Of the military and
naval establishments were fearful
that the publicity attendant on the
trial of the men who were In COM
mand at Pearl Harbor when the
Japanese struck might be adverse to
national security and that an inves-
tigation might require the presence
OF numerous officers whose services
are needed in the war effort. He
added, however, his belief that Con-
gress did not intend" that the inves-
tigation should be conducted in a
way to interfere with the war effort.
Orders Trial by December 4.
Under the resolution the. proceed
ings must be brought against. the
men by next December 7. The
measure was signed last night.
The Presidents statement follows:
Il have today approved the joint
resolution passed by the Congress,
extending for the further period Of
six months all statutory and other
provisions that might prevent the
trial and punishment of any per-
sons involved In the Pearl Harbor
catastrophe Of December T., -1941,
and directing the Secretary Of War
and the Secretary Of the Navy to
make an investigation into the facts
surrounding the catastrophe and
commence proceedings against such
persons as the facts may justify.
THE Secretaries of War and Navy
have both suggested that I with
hold my approval from this reso-
luton on the ground that the in
Ivestigation and action therein di-
rected might require them to
withdraw from their, present as
Isignments numerous oficers whose
services In such assignments are
needed for the successful prosecu-
ton of the war and also on the
ground that such proceedings would
| give publicity to matters which
national security requires still to be
withheld from the enemy.
Confident in Congress. :
"If there were any doubt Id my
mind that the resolution might re-
quire such action by the War and
Navy as would interfere with the
successful conduct of the war I
would have withheld my approval
from the resolution. I am con-
fident, however, that the Congress
did not intend there should be
investigation of this matter or
any proceedings should be con-
Quoted In a manner which would
interrupt or interfere with the war
effort.

fidence I have approved the reso-
luton"

LONDON, June 14.-With the
Germans expecting a new AL
lied invasion, the Vichy radio
quoted Berlin military spokes-
man today as saying important
Allied shipping had been sighted
in the Bay of Biscay, off South
western France, near the Span
ish coast.
The Berlin correspondent Of
La Suisse, in Geneva, said Ger
man observers expected "impor-
tant news events" on the At
lantic coast within 48 hours,
with the expectations based on
alleged reports of Allied feet
movements In the English
Channel and activity in British
invasion ports.
The German hints drew no
response from Allied quarters.
The Bay of Biscay area is about
400 miles below the Normandy

The German counterattack against

east. Headquarters said the Ger
mans were expending a considerable
number of troops in this assault.
It was the old Montgomery tactic
of attacking on the fanks to cut
off a large force of Germans and
take them prisoner or destroy them
rather than push them back.

American troops who plunged

acknowledged two advances in that
area as Allied forces attempted to

The German radio said st. Lo was

guns, shelled the Carentan area
