Pearl Horbor
Col. Chorged
With Neglect
By EDWARD C. EISENHART

United Press staff Correspondent
washington, June IL - (U.P0 -
A congressional committee declared
today that "mismanagement' by an
army colonel and his collaboration
with a German-born contractor had
delayed completion of an aircraft
warning system that would have
detected the approach of Japanese
planes in the Pearl Harbor attack.
In a lengthy report compiled after
months of secret investigation, a
House Military Affairs Sub-Conl-
mittee said that the Japanese as
Sault could have been robbed of
much of the element of surprise"
had there been no neglect and de-
lay" in carrying out the contracts
for the warning system.
The report criticized Col. Theodore
Wyman, Jr., district Army engineer
at Honolulu from June, 1910, to
March, 1912, for discriminating" in
favor of Hans Wilhelm Rohl, lead
ing Hawaiian contractor, in the
award of secret Army construction
contracts.
Alien for Years
The subcommittee said that Rohl,
who became naturalized American
citizen four months before the Pearl
Harbor disaster, had resided in the
United States as an alien for %
years and that during the period he
associated with a man NOW al
legged to hold high position in the
NaN regime"
Rohl, the report said, was de-
scribed in sworn testimony to be
arrogant, boastful and aggressively
pro-German" and proud of his
close acquaintance with high Naz
personages.
The subcommittee said that as
early as 1885 Wyman had issued
contracts to firms with which Rohl
was associated and that Immediately
after his transfer to Hawaii, he be-
gan planning to have contracts

Secret Trade Deals
By Britain and j. 5.
Is Denied by Bait
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
william L. Bait, chairman Of the
Combined Production and Resources
Board. vigorously denied last night
that secret trade agreements have
been made by this country and
Great Britain.
The National Association of Man
ufacturers, in its news bulletin of
July l, asserted that American
businessmen had been cut of from
some foreign markets by agreements
concluded by the board, a war
time economic agency made up of
British, Canadian and American
In reply to an assertion by the
NAM that United States manufac-
turers of industrial leather betting
had been barred from shipping to
purchasers in India, Mr.. Bait de-
clared:
THE CPRB has never made any
decisions affecting leather; I have
ANfSA AiCdAA VI any dllO j IldVcIl I
been able to find any one else in the
United States who has. I have
called both the State Department
and the Foreign Economic Adminis-
tration, and have learned that we
have never dealt with leather"
Mr.. Bait said the last available
figures, covering shipments this
spring, showed the United States
was supplying three to four times
as much leather betting to India as
in any peacetime year of which we
have record"
Mr.. Bait said CPRB had approved
arrangements in some cases for this
Government or Britain to do all the
buying of some materials for both
countries if it would have been
wasteful for the two countries to
bid against each other. In other
cases, he said. the hauling of car
goes from certain areas has been
assigned to one country or the other
to prevent duplication of sailing
routes, thereby conserving shipping
