Letters to The Star
Readers Comment on Reports on
Pearl Harbor Disaster

fcarI r1dfDOf disaster
To the Editor OF The Star:
Permit me to comment as loyal
citizen on the findings relative to the
high command culpability anent the
Pearl Harbor catastrophe. It seems to
me that those in supreme command,
both in Washington and in the Pacific
theater, were doing all they possibly
could at the time of this terrible hap
pening in the interest of national de-
Tense. So think 1t is pity that some
of our high officials should be held up
to public execration even for acts OF
the then existing conditions.
FRANK NEIL.
To the Editor of The Star:
The Commander in Chief exonerates
those who were responsible for the un-
preparedness of Pearl Harbor by spray
ing the ignominy thinly over the en-
tire Nation and making Admiral Kim
mel and Gen. Short the scapegoats. But
one excuse in all history would seem
to surpass this in effrontery-that re-
corded of the first created man. Adam,
when called to account by his Maker,
absolved himself by the retort: "The
woman that thou gavest me, tempted
me-" Mr. Truman has achieved quite
distinction. NJ B. K.

to become American bywords. One is
that we were unprepared at Pearl Har-
Dor as we were in 1917, 1899, etc. The
other cited Admiral Nimitz as saying
that we are unprepared for peace. All,
me! 1t seems that no matter what
situation we face as nation we can
manage to be unprepared. A. M.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Very often clever tricks prove BOOM
erangs against those who resort to them.
The people for years have been deceived
by clever slogans coined to protect dan
gerous policies against opposition. One
such is that oft-repeated slogan OF re-
cent years, "The only thing to fear Is
fear"
To make a boomerang use of this
slogan in the interest Of truth and the
peoples welfare I suggest that: "The
only thing to fear is fear" to expose the
truth about Pearl Harbor.
F. S. KEY-SMITH.
To the Editor of The Star:
The Pearl Hsrbor tragedy is water
over the dam" but the water is still dark
and little has been done to clear It, The
American people are entitled to know
all of the>facts and they should not be
withheld"
In governmental as in other affairs
certain Biblical injunction should not
be disregarded. 1t is, LET there be

LANIER UNIVERSAL
CHOICE FOR MINISTER
TO LIBERIA

WASHINGTON, D. C. (NNPA)
R. O'Hara Lanier, former acting
president and dean of instruction at
Hampton Institute and now a spe-
cial assistant at UNRRA, has the
backing of all factions of Negro
leadership for the position of Min
lister to Liberia, the NNPA has
learned this week. Pres. Truman is
expected to fill the position, vacated
by the resignation of Lester Wal
ton, within few days.
The name of C. C. Spaulding,
president of the North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Durham, N. c., also was recon-
mended to the President for con-
sideration. He was backed by ]. E.
Mitchell of the st. Louis Argus.
Mr.. Spaulding's name, with his con-
sent, has been withdrawn by his
sponsors, however, and they are
now backing Lanier for the post.
Lanier has been endorsed and
urged by Congressman William L.
Dawson, Mrs. M airy Mcleod
Bethune, and DR.. Charming B. To-
bias. He was the first Negro dean
of instruction at Hampton Insti-
tute. Formerly, he had been in adj
ministrative positions at Tuskegee
Institute, Florida A. and M. Col
lege, and at Houston Municipal Col
lege. Before going to Hampton, he
was assistant to Mrs. Mary Nc
Leod Bethune in the Office of Ne
gro Affairs of the NYA.
When DR.. Malcolm M. Mclean
resigned as president of Hampton
Institute, Lanier was named acting
president, and was at one time con-
sidered for the presidency of that
institution. He served as the first
Negro head of the Institute from
Jan. 1913 to Feb. 1914.
He is native of Winston-Salem,
N. c., married and the father of
two daughters. He is a member of
the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity,
the National Vocational Guidance
Association, Pi Gamma MI, Delta
Zeta Chi, Phi Delta Kappa, and
Alpha Pi MI.
The President is expected to with
hold action in filling the Liberian
post until after the new Secretary
of State is named to fill the vacancy
created by the resignation of Ed
ward R. Stettinius.

l find myself stumbling little over
those last six deathless words. As
one sees on all sides the signs of
the growing wave of anti-Semitism,
most strongly emphasized by the
quiet, but apparently carefully or
ganiZed, banning of all but a mini
mum of Jewish students by the lead
ing colleges of the nation; as one
views with growing alarm our fail
ure to approach the Negro problem
with the understanding and toler-
ance that must be brought to bear;
as one reads almost daily, the ut
terances of such blots on the nations
honor as Senators Rankin and Bilbo;
as one reads of the continued perse-
cution of West Coast citizens of Jap
anese descent whose sons had the
finest combat record of any outfit in
the U. S. Army, one wonders how
much Liberty and Justice toward
ALP means today. 1 do not believe
that our men fought and died for
this-in fact, every incident of this
sort that comes to my attention
seems a bitter insult to the memory
of seven Hagerstown boys for whom
my heart will always remain at half
mast.

Note to parents: Your very good
friend is Officer L. j. Britcher, who
does top-notch job of taking care
of your children at the corner of
Potomac and Wayside avenues. I
have been watching him for a long
time now and the way he handles
both traffic and children is a Joy
to behold. Nothing escapes him and
he's a mighty tough man for the
speeders and reckless drivers who
menace your children's lives, to run
into Called the desk at Police Head
quarters to get a little information
on him this morning and find that
he has been on the force thirteen
years. Congratulations, Officer Brit
cher, for a sense of responsibility
and performance.
And while we're on the subject
of those who serve the public I'd
like to put in a special word of
praise for the local bus drivers.
Hagerstown bus drivers are a de-
light to every stranger who comes
to town, either to visit or to live.
Accustomed, for the most part, to
surly big city bus drivers, the local
boys with their pleasant greetings
and goodbyes, their interest in the
children riding with them = and
their nice way of administering YER
bal spankings to the more difficult
little folks-are something new and
admirably different. They make a
sort of honey affair of every bus
ride. Nice work, boys
