NOW that army and navy reports
~ on the Pearl Harbor debacle
have been issued-and have proved
merely that the real story remains to
be revealed-demand are being
made at Washington that the long
deferred court martial trials of Gen
Short and Adm. Kimmel be held.
Those two officers, who have
obviously been somewhat "smeared"
in previous reports, have both de-
manded courts martial and are
entitled to such action if they still
desire it.
But that will not put the truth
about Pearl Harbor into the public
record where it belongs.
From the very nature of army and
navy transactions, the only result
would be two more incomplete re.
ports, and the American people have
already had five reports of that un
satisfactory kind.
A RMY and navy boards cannot
"A subpoena the records of secret
diplomacy which need to be exam
ined.
Army and navy boards have no
authority to discover" and to dis
close" secret orders that may have
been issued over the heads of war
and navy departments.
Army and navy boards cannot
compel the publication" of mon
military" information which, for any
reason at all, has been improperly
suppressed.
Army and navy boards, each con-
fined within a circumscribed 1uris-
diction, cannot make a COMPLETE
INVESTIGATION and render
COMPLETE REPORT on Pearl
Harbor.
Only the Congress of the United
States can do that: and exactly that
is what the American people should
demand and get.
FURTHERMORE, a congressional
inquiry should not be one house
or one party or routine commit
tee proceeding.
Congress should appoint a joint
committee of the Senate and the
House of Representatives, divided
equitably between the two parties
and charged with getting-and CIV
ing out THE TRUTH about Pearl
Harbor.
Many questions need to be an
swered.

TO TIE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
IN THE recent judicial pri-
L mary election. only 7 per cent
of the registered voters OF De-
troit actually voted. This was
the lowest turnout in IS years.
Many citizens vote only in
presidential elections. They seem
Indifferent 10 the fact that il il
the type Of city administration
and local judiciary elected which
has the greatest effect on the
daily lives Of our citizens.
1t is my sincere hope that all
citizens vote in the city primary
election on Aug 7, and on Nov.
s. l945.

wa " 4V1A, Il Ia NASN AAS oANCA
Rear Adm. Bloch, in Hawaii, had
officially warned the government
that Pearl Harbor was in an indie
fensible state?
WHY was virtually nothing done
W during those five months-and
in the following six months before
the Pearl Harbor attack-to provide
Hawaii with long distance recon
naissance planes, with sufficient and
suitable bombers, with fighting
planes, with anti aircraft guns and
with working anti aircraft warning
system-for all of which Adm. Bloch
had desperately appealed
1t is we'll known that enormous
quantities of these war materials
were being made here and sent to
Europe, although we were legally
not engaged in the European war:
why was none, or little better than
none, sent to our own exposed out
post in the Pacific?
Why, during the period of
strained relations" with Japan and
supposed peace with Germany, was
the United States engaged in the
protection of shipping and the patrol
ling of sea lanes in the Atlantic"
instead of repairing our own lack of
preparedness in the Pacific which
the government knew about?
WHY, a few days before Pearl
W Harbor, did Secretary Hull de-
liver to Japan the ultimatum that
touched off the war" in the Pacific
at the very hour when the high COM
manders of the army and navy were
preparing a joint warning to the
White House that this country was
totally unprepared to fight in the
Pacific?
Finally, were our foreign and ma
tional defense policies formulated
with the advice of our responsible
army and navy commanders, or were
policies leading into war made
"higher up" without regard for our
ability to support those policies?
Too much has become known
through the five fragmentary investi
cations that have been held to sustain
any longer the pretense that one or
two generals or admirals were re-
sponsible for Pearl Harbor.
Enough is known to justify the
opinion that Pearl Harbor was the
tragical elimination of a long term
of reckless and incompetent civil ad-
miniStration.
That very certainly is question
within the purview of Congress and
Congress should not be allowed to
shirk it's duty.

bacco crop in the State this year
is expected to be approximately
two per cent larger than last sea-

is 756,675, 900 pounds as compared
with 738, 100000 for the 1914 sea-

totaled 812,540,000 pounds.
Burley producers in mountain

ing quarters in the past had become
drab and cherries.
Under supervision of Miss Patton
and with the assistance Of the
Ladies Aid and members of the
Mems Hospital Board, the rooms
have been repainted in cheerful
light colors, new, attractive, maple
furniture has been secured and fresh
cretonne slip covers and curtains
have brought cheer and warmth to
the living rooms in the buildings.
On recent inspection tour OF the
cadet nurses quarters with Miss
Patton and Mrs. c. F. Burton. presi-
dent of the Ladies' Aid, Mrs. Burton
called attention to the comfortable
maple beds which have only recently
been received at the hospital. They
have replaced the old iron bedsteads
OF former years and designed spe-
cially for the rest of tired young
backs after hours of hard service
Not all of the rooms have received
the new BEDS" Mrs. Burton ex-
planned, "as it is only possible under
existing priorities to order 10 beds
at one time. But the Ladies' Aid has
been adding to its treasury so that
as soon as they are available every
room in the nurses quarters will be
equipped with these beds"
The redecorating program, it was
further explained, calls for plans to
provide every bedroom with beds.
bed tables and .dressers of maple.
Miss Patton, with a professional
eye directed to the health of 'her
girls" pointed with particular pride
to the fine new lamps which have
only recently been placed on bed
room desks for study and reading.
All the rooms will eventually be
fitted with these lamps, it was ex-
planned.
While Garfield, like every other
hospital throughout the country, is
grievously short of graduate nurses,
lacking so of the number required,
with 10 entering the services this
month, its nursing school has in
creased greatly since the Nations
call for student nurses.
With 100 girls in training, Miss
Patton expects new class of 40
girls to start the course on April 3.
The first class to complete training
under the cadet nursing program
will be the one to graduate in 1916.
Training of the girls has strained
the services of every graduate nurse
and doctor on the hospital staff as
in addition to their own professional
services to the sick, they contribute
their time to instructing the girls
who will eventually care for the
Nations sick and wounded service
men, both here and abroad.
