gary, Bulgaria and Finland. But
he also admitted that final differ
ences were such that they could
only be decided on a higher level.
This was taken 10 mean that the
chiefs of state of the United

have TO confer again.

against the Russian demand that
peace treaty discussions be con-

Byrnes asserted that the Soviet

prior 10 the japanese attack were
charged today by the army'S Pearl

pressed section Of is report.
Blame for delays in the compile
tion of vital defense projects al
the Pacific base was placed by the
board largely on Col. Theodore
Wyman Jr,. the srmyS engineer
officer at Pearl Harbor. and the
civilian contracting firm headed
by Hans Wilhelm Rohl. a German
alien.
BLAME ON WYMAN
The board said IL was Col. Wy
mans duty TO see that work on
aircraft warning stations, airfeldS,
fire control stations and ammuni-
tion storage depots was completed,
but that instances abound OF
tWyman's) maladminIstration and
neglect
The personal relationship of Cot.
Wynan and Rohl was strongly
condemned by the board, and both
were accused of excess drinking"
in both Los Angeles and Hawaii.
Brig. Gen. James A. Mollison,
AAF commander at Pearl Harbor,
told the investigating board that
operation of three projected but
unfinished fadaf stations would
have enabled the air force to put
up fighter planes TO intercept the
Japanese torpedo bombers.
PATTERSON'S COMMENT

board, Secretary of War Patterson
