BEACH ALDERMEN
AGAINST INLET

The Wrightsville Beach Board of
Aldermen, in a special meeting
with the mayor Of the resort town,
went on record Tuesday as being
absolutely opposed to the cutting
of an inlet north of Carolina Beach
which has received much support
ir certain quarters.
Believing that new opening fol
coastal bay waters would be harm
full to other sections, which have
already considered measures to
prevent erosion from the surf,
and in the case of Wrightsville,
gone to some expense in the pre-.
servation of the existing shorelines.
the body protested vigorously the
proposed action.
The resolution read as follows:
"RESOLVED: That the Board OF
Aldermen of the Town OF Wrights'
vile Beach 60 on record as being
opposed to the artificial opening
Of any inlet north of the Town Of
Carolina Beach for the following
reasons:
FIRST: That the cost would be
great and the benefits to be derived
from such a proposed inlet are Of
doubtful nature, and it is prob
able that the disadvantages would
heavily out weight the advantages
in fact, it is not out of the realm
of possibility that the main course
of the Cape Fear River may be
diverted to such an extent as t
cause serious damages to sounds
adjacent to Wrightsville and Caro-
lima Beaches, and may even cause
a change in the contours OF oul

Who was blamed:
General George C. Marshall,

of Naval Operations; Former
Secretary of State Cordell
Hull; Maj Gen. Leonard T.

miral Husband E. Kimmel,
Naval commander at Pearl
Harbor on Dec. !, 1941; Maj.
Gen. Walter C. Short, Army
commander at Pearl Harbor.
What was said about them:
Marshal - Failed to kee
Short fully posted on critical
developments and to send him
sufficient instructions. (Sec-
rotary of War Stimson called
the criticism entirely I'M
justified" and President Tru-
man concurred.)
Stark-Failed to display
sound judgment by not sending
important information to KIM

Gerow-Failed to keep Short
adequately informed, to send
him clear directives, and to
realize Hawaii was not suf-
ficiently ready for war.
Hull-An Army Board Of
Inquiry said he didn't tell Sec
rotary Stimson promptly about
counter-proposals made to jap
anese peace negotiators. The
board said these co4nter-pro-
posals "touched the button" of
war because Japan took them
as an ultimatum. 1t mentioned

agreed" and said the comment
was ''uncalled for.")
