 Not only do strongly disagree with what amounts at best only to a conjecture, but I feel that the boards comment in this respect was ulncalled for and not within the scope of their proper inquiry"
 Naval authorities found that Stark and Kimmel did no. do the neces- sary things to prevent such a defeat as occurred and that they failed to demonstrate superior judgment.
 Kings Report
 Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King, commander-in in-chief of the U. s. fleet who replaced Stark as chief of naval operations immediately after Pearl Harbor, said in an en- dorsement to the Navy boards re- port that:
 "The derelictions on the part of Adm. Stark and Adm. Kimmel were faults of omission rather than faults of commission.
 "In the case in question, they in- dicate lack of the superior judg- ment necessary for exercising com mand commensurate with their rank and their assigned duties. rather than culpable inefficiency.
 Since trial by general court martial is not warranted by the evidence adduced, appropriate ad- ministrative action would appear to be the relegation of both of these officers to positions in which lack of superior Judgment may not re- suit in future errors"
 Forrestal concurred in this ap- praisal, and directed that neither Stark nor Kimmel should ever be recalled to active duty in the fu- ture for any position in which the exercise of superior judgment may be necessary"
 Specific Charges
 The army boards charges against Marshall, to which Stimson and MT. Truman objected, were that he failed in his relations" with the Hawaiian department on four counts:
 1. He failed to keep short fully advised of the growing tenseness of the Japanese situation which indi- cated an increasing necessity for better preparation for war" Mar shall, the board said, had ian abundance" of such information while short "had little."
 3. He failed to send additional in- structions to Short on Nov. 2a,. 1941, when U. S.--Japanese relations were deteriorating rapidly, and evidently failed to realize the import" of a message from short on Nov. 27 which indicated that the Hawaiian commander had misunderstood and misconstrued" a previous mes sage from Marshall.
 3. He failed to provide short on the evening of Dec. 6 and the early morning of Dec. T, 1e41, with critical information indicating an

for immediate action.
 Confer With Mayor
 A conference will be held Friday with Mayor J. s. Monagan and the committee will make personal ape pearance before the board of police commissioners on the alleged exces- sive speed of automobiles and busses and before the board of works for badly needed sidewalks and addi- tional electric lights in various parts of the East End section. The Meri- den and Southmayd roads were par ticularly stressed as streets where the absence of sidewalks makes travelling more hazardous for pedeS- trians as well as autoiStS.
 The mass meeting resulted from the death Sunday morning of David Kinney, 6, who was fatally injured by a bus near the intersection of East Main street and Southmayd road. For some months past there has been an agitation for better police supervision of trafilc, more lights and sidewalks. The tragedy brought the matter to a crisis.
 Speakers
 At the gathering last evening vari- ous speakers from the Mill Dlain. Rockville, Fairlawn, Meriden road and East Main street sections reg istered their protests and demanded action. Representatives from these respective districts were named to the special committee to formulate protest and to follow through in it's efforts to obtain action. The com- nittee named by President Corden includes Paul Ruzzo, Benjamin Fenn, Edward Mraz. William Ghent. Henry Brodeur, Raymond Burke, Arthur Blewitt, George Kingston, James Creem, Edward McGrath, Eugene Sullivan, Mrs. Joseph Phelan, Mrs. Harold Watterworth, and Mrs. Harry Cashin.
 May Appeal to State Police
 It was also stated last evening that if prompt action is not forth coming an appeal to state officials for assistance will be made.
 Speakers in the course of the evenings discussion referred to the number of taxpayers residing in the East End section. and were out- spoken in their declarations that their assessments warranted better protection than what they have been receiving.
 A statement is expected to be made on behalf of the East End Community club which arranged the mass meeting and which is direct- ing the campaign for better service. following a session of the special committee.

 Her resistance was exceptionally weak. Four days after hospitaliza- ton, and exactly two weeks after the Hiroshima disaster her hair started falling out, and the bruise on her back took turn for the worse. A blood transfusion was carried out, and despite the patients fight, the condition worsened and she succumbed on the 18th day.

retained from the present strength, O,000 will be inducted and 300 ,000 are expected to volunteer.
 The automatic release age will be lowered from the present 38 to an undisclosed level.
 Earlier the Navy-which will be heard Friday by the House Military Committee announced that by Sept. l, 1946, it will have reduced its strength from today's 3,389, 900 to 550,0OO.
 Maj. Gen. Stephen G. Henry, as- sistant chief of staff for the Army's Personnel Division, told the story in figures yesterday then departed from his statement to give his own personal view that the nation can not afford to depend entirely upon the atom bomb for security.
 The atom bomb will not remain a secret for more than five years, he predicted. When its wonders are known by other nations it ceases to be a protective power for the United States.
 He listed the Army needs as of next July as follows: 270,00O troops in Europe; 830000 in the Pa- ciflc; 115,000 in Alaska, the Carrib- bean and various islands; and 1,185,0 ,000 in the United States.
 To replace returning troops we must send 100000 men to Europe by next July and 540,000 to the Pacific, he said.
 Men just turning IS furnish the greatest continuing supply of re- placements, he declared.
 Rep. John J. Sparkman, D., Ala, wanted to know if increased pay would accelerate recruitment. Henry said not much," that it wouldn't make much difference whether the soldier is paid $50 or $100 monthly.
 Rep. Clare Boothe Luce, R., Conn. said that we may be forced to take teen-aged men to meet occupation requirements.
 "Cf course" she said, I've can allow Russia to occupy the countries we have licked. They are willing to do it with 16 or IT year old"
 The committee will meet again Friday to continue its study of the situation.
 National Guard
 Some of the National Guard div isions which held the first thin AL lied lines in the Pacific are due for early return, it was believed today on the bais of the Army's latest disclosures on deployment and de- mobilization.
 Maj. Gen. I. H. Edwards, assistant chief of staff, told the House Mili- tary Affairs Committee that by next July I, American Pacific forces will be halved and all Nationa Guard units will be demobilized. | National Guard divisions which went to the Pacific theater in l94; includes the 17th, New York, anc 32nd, the 43rd, Maine, Connecticut Rhode Island and Vermont.
 Three National Guard division, are already home from Europe anc were scheduled for deployment tc the Pacific before Japan's defeat though it is now almost certain they will not go. They are the 28tr from Pennsylvania; the 30th, from North and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee; and the 44th, from New York and New Jersey. These divisions first wetn into action ir Europe in late 1914.
 1 The 18th, of Massachusetts, which entered combat in the autumn o1 1914 is due home in October.

He failed to investigate and determine the state of readiness of the Hawaiian command (Arnny) between Nov. 27 and Dec. 2, 194l, despite the impending threat of war;" Held Responsible Under responsibilities" the Army board listed Hull, Marshall, Maj. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow. former chief of the war jplans division of
 the War Department general stan, and short.
 The board said Hull's counter proposals to the Japanese during the tense American-Japanese dip- 1omatic dueling of November, l94l,
 were "in conflict with the efforts of the War and Navy Departments to gain time for preparations for war" The board emphasized in refer-
 ring to Hull, however. that war with Japan was inevitable and im- minent because of irreconcilable disagreements between the Japa- nese empire and the American gov-
 ernment."
 Hull,S counter proposals to the Japanase on Nov. 26, 1041, the board
 said, were used by the Japanese
 as a signal to begin the war by the attack on Pearl Harbor."
 The report described relations
 between Kimmel and Short at
 Pearl Harbor as "cordiar' and said
 they tried honestly and earnestly
 to weld the two services into one
 protective unit. The interchange of information
 between the War and State De- partments at that time was appar-
 ently complete, the Army board added, and the Army was kept 'in
 close touch with international de- velopments." The State Depart
 ment, it added. knew of the Army's
 progress and it's preparations for war.
 The Army board found. however.
 that Short failed to place his com
 rnand fin state of readiness for war in the face of war warning by adopting an alert against sabo- tage."
 Short also failed @to reach or
 attempt to reach" an agreement
 with Kifnmel to implement joint
 Army-Navy plans. the board said, and he failed to keep informed on the effectiveness of the Navy's long,
 range reconnaissance.
 Short also failed to replace in- efficient staff officers in his com- mand, the Army board said.

 Bombed Out Parish
 The church to which Father De- Ian has been assigned as well as the parish to which his two associ- ates have been sent have felt the brunt of the war. The houses of worship which were formerly the pride of the parishioners are in ruins today. In Father Dolan's fu- ture jurisdiction is located the Ford Motor Go. of England. Several thou- sand skilled mechanics are em- ployed there.
 Considerable local interest in Father Doherty and Father Julien was stimulated today with the an- nouncement that both were former ly missionaries in the Philippines and were interned as Japanese pris- oners in the famous Santo Thomas camp, where Rev. William Mccarthy of Waterbury was confined for 32 months.
 Father Dolan is graduate of St. Francis Xavier. He attended Crosby high school for two years then entered LaSalette college in Hartford to study for the missionary priesthood in the Congregation of the Missionaries of Our Lady of LaSalette. He graduated from the novitiate on June 8, 1888. He was later assigned to the orders sem- mary at Altamount, N. Y. He was ordained on May 26, 1945, and cel- ebrated his first solemn high Mass in St. Francis xavier's church.

 Stark-Sslort Criticized
 There was no official disagree ment, however, with sharp criticism of Stark and of Maj. Gen. Waltel c. Short, then commander of tht army's Hawaiian department, arlt Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel commander of naval forces at Pear Harbor.
 No court martials were recon. mended for any officers. Secretary of Navy James For restal ruled, however, that neither Stark nor Sibbel ever again should hold any position in the U. s Navy which requires the exercise o1 superior judgment" Both Stark and Kimmel are or the retired list, although Stark un. til recently served as ccmmandel of U. s. naval forces in Europe. Secretary Stimson repeated ar earlier finding that Short had made errors of judgment which had de. manded his relief from command Short also has gone into retirement and apparently will stay in tha' status.
 The Army and Navy boards in- vestigated the Pearl Harbor attack which plunged this country into the war and broke the backbone oi ! its Pacific fleet, under the authori- zation of joint Congressional reso- lution approved June 13, 1914. The Army board strongly criti- cized Marshall on four counts for alleged failure to keep Short fully advised" of the danger that Japan might attack.
 -StimsOn Defends Stimson declared that this criti- eism was not justified. He said it was based on misapprehension ot the stan chiefs functions. Tt is not the function of the chief of staff," he said. specifically to direct and personally supervise the execution in detail of the duties of the various sections of the gen. eral staff.
 His paramount duty is to advise the president and the secretary of war, and to make plans for and supervise the organization, equip ment. and training of great Army for glohal war. :" President Truman sided strongly with Stimson in his defense oi Marshall.
 In Q brief statement of his own, the president said:
 ''The conclusion of the secretary of war is that Gen. Marshall acted throughout this matter with his usual great skill. energy and efi- ciency.'
 T associate myself wholeheartedly with this expression by the secre- tary of war.
 Indeed. have the fullest confi- dence in the skill, energy and efii- ciency of all our war leaders, both Army and Navy"
