HONOLULU, Sept. 21-tRHPost-
scripts to the days news:
General Wainwright's Washing.
ton disclosures of beatings and in.
dignities at the hands of his Japa.
nese captors surprised few people
here. Although little of the story
could be told here due to the Gen.
erals request-at War Department
orders-it was generally known.
So was one phase of the Japa.
nese treatment which the General
apparently forgot to mention OF
thought unworthy of note while in
Washington. 1t was that when he
and other officers were being
slapped and pushed around by the
Japanese it was always done in
the presence of other American
prisoners.
1t was perhaps a key to part OF
the Japanese military character
that they thus made a point OF
arranging it so Wainwright's Off
GERS and men would be on hand
to witness the public beating Of
their beloved General.
Now they've done 1.-THE Homo.
lulu Chamber of Commerce nor
mally is a calm, composed body
of men but the Army and Navy
have finally aroused it's collective
wrath.
Its that report put out by the
military service boards concerning
their Pearl Harbor investigations.
Specifically they're sore about
published testimony which alleged
there was a lack of local CIVILIAN
cooperation during those critical
prewar days. They feel the impli-
cation is that much Of the blame
for the Pearl Harbor debacle thus
rests on local civilian shoulders.
And they say it isn't Sc. Further
more they wrote letter which
said that such criticism lis unjus'
titled and presents wholly unfair
and distorted picture. 1t is our
firm belief that the cooperation
and assistance rendered by civil
lians in the territory of Hawaii
could we'll serve as an example
to people in the rest Of the United
States"
The letter was sent to the chair
man and members of the joint
Congressional committee which is
probing the Pearl Harbor attack
but that's not all.
They also sent copies of the let
ter to the Secretary of the In
terror: to Territorial delegate Jo-
seph r. harrington; to Hawaiian
Governor Stainback; to j k
Fahy, assistant director of the d.
vision of territories of the Interior
Department; to Honolulu Mayor
oetr:e: to presidents Of the Terri
torial Medical and Bar Associa-
tons; to the chairman of the ma
ior disaster council; to the Terri
torial director of the office of CT.
william Defense; to the president Of
the Territorial Senate; to the
Speaker o the Territorial House
of Representatives and (whew) to
the Director of the Honolulu blood
bank!
What's more they requested the
Congressional committee to visit
Hawaii personally and in justin
to civilians Of Hawaii" find out
once and forsall Gin capital letters)
''the truth about Pearl Harbor. :"
There's something heart warming
and nerve settling about that let
ter. 1t indicates return to nor
malcy. For four years civilians
have been swallowing their wrath
and holding their tongues when
subjected to blanket accusations
by military brass hats. Some even
got Uriah Heepish and admitted
to sins they couldn't possibly have
committed.

Thomoston Political Turmoil
By HARRY LYNCH (ThomastOn Correspondent

Thomaston, Sept. 25-A recent statement by this correspondent per- taining to the coming town election has caused much discussion in po- litcal crcles and all kinds of wild rumors to the effect that the Dem- ocratic party was being sold down the river because of the statement,
 The statement was that Eugene Terrence, nominee for first select man on the Democratic ticket needed but one vote to elect him to office and that Democratic voters could throw all their strength to James Truelove, write-in candidate who is running for second select- man. This statement is absolutely correct and is substantiated by the following public act which was passed by the General Assembly:
 Text
 Public Act No. l25. Section l. Each town shall, at its annual or biepnal town meeting, elect a first selectman, who shall be town agent unless otherwise provided by law; an dtwo other selectmen or in the case of any town having Q popula- ton of ten thousand or more, not more than six other selectmen un- less otherwise provided by law. The selectmen so elected shall constitute the board of selectmen for such town. The votes cast for the unsuc- cessful candidate for first select man shall be counted as votes for him as a member of such board. No more than a bare majority of any such board shall be members of the same political party"
 This statement has been received in writing from the secretary Of state after a personal visit from the local correspondent, also Demo- cratic Registrar of Voters. The last part of the act winch states that no more than a bare majority of any such board shall be members of the same political party upholds the previous statement that MT, Tor renee needs but one vote to be @ member of the board of selectmen because he represents the minority party and the fact that there is no other candidate on the Democratic ticket.
