kimIneI Offered
'Court-Martia|
By Forresta|
First Proposal Came
Day Before Truman
Released Reports
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Secretary of the Navy For
restal offered Rear Admiral Hus-
band E. Kimmer general
court-martial in open court" in
a letter dated August 28-the
day before President Truman
made public the findings of the
Army and Navy boards which
investigated the Pearl Harbor
debacle, it was revealed yes
terday.
No reply has been received from
Admiral Kimmel, Navy commander
at Pearl Harbor when the japanese
struck, the Navy Department said
and Mr.. Forrestal sent another let
ter to the Admiral yesterday in re-
gard to the offer.
The offer was disclosed when
Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee released a
letter from Secretary Forrestal an
nouncing that he was sending the
Massachusetts, Senator all of the
records of investigations by the Navy
Department" into the attack on
Pearl Harbor. Senator Walsh had
requested the data so the committee
might determine what course to
pursue.
Rarklov IN Ducb Vpc,,;rr
Senate Majority Leader Barley
author of the resolution for a Joint
congressional investigation of Pearl
Harbor, which has been adopted by
the Senate and awaits action by the
House, said last night that the con-
gressional inquiry would go forward
no matter what Admiral Kimmel
might reply.
Mr.. Forrestal told Senator Walsh
the Navy Department would abide
by the decision of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee whether those
documents not already made public
should be published. He added
however, that Admiral King, my
chief military adviser" is of the
opinion the sources OF this informa-
ton should be protected.
The letter from Mr.. Forrestal
quoted a report on the Pearl Har-
Dor investigation made last spring
by Vice Admiral H. K. Hewitt, and
SAID the report contained the rec
ommendation of the Navy Judge
Advocate General and of Admiral
King that Admiral Kimmel be given
q court martial.
These recommendations and the
offer OF general court martial in
open court which I made to Admiral
Kimmel, with which you are IA
miliar, were not referred to in the
reports released by the President
because We did not wish Ad-
miral Kimmel to feef constrained
in making his reply to the offer OF
general court martial by any pub
lieity concerning that Offer" Sec
retary Forrestal wrote.
The Secretary's reference was tc
the findings of Army and NAVY
Pearl Harbor investigating boards
released by the White House on
August 20. Those boards reported
no cause for court martial trials
They attributed some of the re-
sponsibility for the Pearl Harbor
debacle to officers higher in COM
mand than Admiral Kimmel and 1t
Gen. Walter C. Short, who was in
charge of Hawaiian Army Forces.
Admiral Kimmel, since he was re-
lieved of command shortly after the
japanese struck, has repeatedly
said he wanted trial. Gen. Short
after the White House report, is
sued statement saying my con-
science is clear"

THE men and women who divorce and
i marry again, divorce and marry again
and again. may have their bitter disap-
pointments and woes but they have no one
to blame but themselves, and no sympathy
need be wasted upon them. The real
sufferers are the children, those helpless
victims of broken homes. And broken
homes are the ajor cause of juvenile
delinquency. Neglected children, or children
who live in an atmosphere of pickering and
general turmoil, drift naturally into The
streets and thence into crime.
In one year, typical of many, 2S,000
divorces were granted in Los Angeles.
That involved $4,000 children, the majority
of whom will find their way into juvenile
courts.
The record in San Francisco was less
appalling but bad enough. In the sane
wear there we're 264S final DEGREES. 3,S2S
interlocutory DEGREES, and las annul-
ments.
1t is a remarkable fact that in the 700
cases before the juvenile court of that year
all but six were children of Christian
parents; the insignificant number were CT
Jewish parentage.
II is an old saying that Jews make the
best husbands. They are also devoted to
their children and make them happy. 1t
would seem that when they fall in love
they stay in love (and the same may be said
of the women, for they seldom appear in
the divorce courts. And seldom If ever,
do they make quick trips to Reno, Mexico,
or other complaisant states. In the rare
cases where they have made mistake they
deliberate long before breaking up the
home. The very word is sacred
IT Is a pity that others, who have much
the best of it in this world Of prejudice
and intolerance DO not ask for the recipe
and follow il.
In san Francisco 10 official depart
ments or commissions and - personal
organizations are directly engaged in fight
ing juvenile delinquency. Churches and
schools do their best The district attorney,
Edmund 6. Brown. has taken deep and
active interest in the matter and has created

sullcnly and kept his word. But it is
doubtful if that is one of the happy homes.
Mr. Brown, being young man, well
on the hither side of the cynical years, IS
profoundly interested in this tragedy of
broken homes, and of the quickie divorce
in general. The courts almost invariably
give the children TO the mother who either
presents them with stepfather, or, if the
man she is in love with refuses TO marry
her, gets a job which leaves the children to
their own devices during the day and some
times at night; cocktail bars and saloons
with their bright lights, the stimulation of
liquor after a hard days work, TO say
nothing of male companionship, are far
more attractive than dismal home with
whining children. In extreme cases, Mr..
