Last Minute Relief.
Gen. George C. Marshall, Admiral
Ernest j. King and members OF
Congress led official Washington
in its exodus to Baltimore. Un-
official estimates place the num-
ber of persons leaving the city for
the game between 10000 and 10000.
1t was reported at Union Station
that the Office of Defense Trans
portation had granted the Pennsyl-
vania line last-minute permission to
add two more trains when it became
apparent that existing facilities
could not handle the load. ODT
last week had ruled that no ad-
ditional buses or trains could be
used.
The peak of traffic at the station
appeared to be reached with the
departure of the II am. train for
New York. The rush for the 9
o'clock train delayed departure Is
minutes. A jam failed to material
ize at the Greyhound Bus depot,
with company official reporting
normal Saturday traffic.
Persons carrying blankets and
heavy coats were first seen board
ing the 7 IN. and 8 am. trains, al
though the rush did not begin until
an hour later.
Both the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the B. & o. sold out parlor space
the same day the announcement
was made the game would be held
in Baltimore.
Gen. H. H. Arnold, head of the
Army Air Forces, and 1t. Gen. Ben
Lear, head Of Army Ground Forces,

terfering with war production. The
new order was issued only after ii
became apparent that increasing
civilian output was drawing man.
power from war plants.
Nearly s40o,O0O,OO0 in virtually all
types of civilian goods except auto
mobiles and electrical refrigerators
has been authorized under the
spot" plan. A WPB spokesman
said he did not believe it would be
necessary to cancel any appreciable
part of homefront goods already au-
thorized under the plan, but he
pointed out that employment in
nonessential industry can be re-
duced if necessary.
Four Sign New Order.
Civilian production now will be
approved only in localities where
war production is on schedule or in
centers where failure to meet sched-
ules is due to causes other than
manpower shortage. War agency
field officers were told to examine
carefully applications to produce
consumer goods in all areas to make
certain there was no interference
with the war effort.
The new order was signed by Mr..
Krug, Secretary of Navy Forrestal,
Undersecretary of War Patterson,
and Manpower Chairman McNutt.

sion was that the evidence now
available does not warrant the trial
by general court-martial of any per-
son or person in the naval service. F"
The Army and Navy Boards Of In
quiry were appointed last July In
compliance with a congressional
resolution. Their reports, which the
Secretaries summarized last night
were returned in October after hear
ings in Hawaii and on the mainland
Gen. Grunert Headed Board.
The Army board was composed of
1t. Gen. George Grunert, the presi-
oent of the group; Maj. Gen. Henry
D. Russell and Maj. Gen. Walter H.
Frank.
The Navy court of inquiry con-
sisted of Admiral Orin G. Murfin
retired, Admiral Edward C. Kalb-
Ius retired), and Vice Admiral
Adolphus Andrews (retired), with
Comdr Harold Biesemeier as Judge
advocate.
In his report Secretary Stimson
also reported that neither Hans
Wilhelm Rohl, German-born con-
tractor, nor Col. Theodore Wyman,
jr., Army engineer, caused or con-
tributed to the Pearl Harbor dis
aSter.
The War Secretary based his find
ings on an investigation by the
Army board The board, in the Rohl-
Wyman phase of its inquiry. acted
on a report last June by the House
Military Affairs Committee.
The committee had said that on
December 20 1910, the War Depart
ment, on Wyman's recommendation
contracted with Rohl's company, the
Hawaiian Constructors, to install
defense projects in Hawaii. These
defenses were not completed in time
to be used in repelling the japanese
attack on December T. 1941. the COM
mittee said. 1t complained that
Army officers responsible, including
both Gen. Short and Col. Wyman
failed to order the work expedited.
Question of Neglect Still Open.
Saying he had reviewed the re-
suits of the Army boards inquiry
into this phase, Mr.. Stimson an
nounced:
Il do not find from this review
that the Pearl Harbor disaster was
in any way contributed to or caused
by any alleged misconduct, neglect
or disloyalty on the part of Rohl,
the Hawaiian constructors, the or
ganization with which he was con-
nected, Col. Wyman, or others di-
recting construction activities in
Hawaii, and I do not find that there
is any evidence that Rohl or any
one else directing such construc-
ton gave any information to the
enemy"
Mr.. Stimson then added:
"As to certain other alleged mis-
conduct and neglect of Col. Wyman
and others in construction matters.
I have referred the question of any
proceedings to the Undersecretary
of War and the Judge Advocate
General"

the most difficult kind of steeple-
chase course taking fences every so
| feet.
On Twelfth street NE. police en-
countered a southbound automobile
with an antlered deer slung over the
fender.
Did you kill our deer?" they asked
the driver. s4
"It's mine" he protested. II shot
it in West Virginia"
Police walked around the car and
saw, a dead bear on the other fender
They let the man go on.
The deer was last reported at
Tenth and Buchanan streets NE
and from there disappeared into the
woods. Scout cars reported back
to headquarters that they were
abandoning the chase
Although all out-of breath, about
20 boys would not give up. They
were running through the woods
trying to head the deer back into
the District.
A man with deer hunting expert
ence undertook to coach them.
"A deed always will head into the
wind he said. Get upwind of him
and you can head him off"
The District is a legal haven for
wild animals. In Maryland the deer
would have legal protection for only
two days, The deer hunting season
in that State opens Monday.
The deer evidently has been in the
Capital for some days. Several
reports from late night taxi drivers
making runs through Rock Greek
Park that their headlights had
picked up an antlered deer on the
loose had been dismissed at police
headquarters as nonsense.
Then Mrs. Edward J. Ward, 1903
UpShur street NV, saw the deer in
broad daylight in the shrubbery of
her backyard Thursday.
When the Zoo was checked DR..
William M. Mann, the director, said
the deer had been seen grazing in
the Zoo just outside the fence con-
flning the deer herd at midday
Thursday. An attempt to capture
it failed.

Ideal Weather.
Near perfect football weather was
in store for the crowd of about TO-
900. The Weather Bureau forecast
clear skies, a maximum of around
38 degrees and a 15-to-2O-mile wind.
In the throng will be the full

Corps, high-ranking naval and Army
officers and group of veterans who

Many of the latter will be guests of
the two academies or high Govern
ment officials who surrendered their
coveted titkets to the war heroes.
Coaches Confident.
A two-week layoff from competi-
tion put both squads in tip-top ply
sical shape for the crucial clash
and each coach fractured all the
rules by admitting his team had q
chance to win the contest getting
under way at 2 pm.
Col. Earl (ReO Blaik, Army's
mentor, declared: Navy will need
more than good line to beat u.s.
(Pregame dope predicted the result
would hinge on Navy's practically
impenetrable line and Army's fast
and furious backs.)
Capt. c. o. Humphreys, Annapolis
athletic director, countered with:
We'll, we have a hunch we'll win
it," and Comdr. Oscar Hagberg,
Navy coach, told the Middle rally
last night:
"Tomorrow's effort will be a dou-
ble-barreled one. Up until now we
haven't really put out-but we really
will tomorrow"

Food Administrator Marvin Jones,

"the people will want more details
than they have received.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, a member of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, said:
The Army and Navy reports con-
tradict the report of the Roberts
commission. The reports exonerate
Short and Kimmel. but at the same
time they ought to tell us who was
responsible for the disaster at Pearl
Harbor. 4 never thought they were
to blame, but there must be some
explanation.
A commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt Immediately after
the disaster and headed by Supreme
Court Justice Owen j. Roberts re-
ported on January "a, 1912, that
there was "dereliction of duty" by
Admiral Kimmels and Gen. Short.
On the point of culpability, the
Navy said: The Secretary, in his
findings upon the evidence before
the court of inquiry and all the other
proceedings in the matter to date
has found that there we're errors of
judgment on the part of certain
officers in the naval service, both at
Pearl Harbor and at Washington.
Differs With Boards Conclusions.
Secretary Stimson said: 1.-The
Army Pearl Harbor board, although
it recommended no disciplinary or
other action, concluded that there
were several officers in the field and
in the War Department who did not
perform their duties with the neces-
sary skill or exercise the judgment
which was required under the cir
cumstances. On the recorded evi-
dence, I agree with some but not all
OF the boards conclusions.
Mr.. Stimson said that in his opin-
ion removal of Gen. Short from his
command was a serious result" and
sufficient action" for an Army Of
f1cer of excellent record.
