testifying before the congress
sional Pearl Harbor Committee
today, took issue with the view
of the Army Inquiry Board that
the warning sent to Hawaii on
November 27, 1941, was a do

AS head Of the Army War Plans
Division in 1941, Gen. Gerow helped
prepare the message which Gen.
George c. Marshall, then Chief Of
Staff, sent to Maj. Gen. Walter C.
Short, Hawaiian commander, at tho
same time that he alerted other out
posts.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan, asked Gen. Gerow this

terization the Army board applied to
the warning message.
Yes, sir, but I don't know the

however, that this hope would be

Continuing to analyze Gen. Mar

1941, Senator Ferguson asked Gen.
Gerow if the following quotation
from it was a 'do-dont" instruc-
ton:

reconnaissance and other measures
as you deem necessary but these
measures should be carried out SO

Gen. Gerow replied that the mes
sage doesn't state, sir. that you will
definitely not alarm the civil popu-
lation."
Last Sentence Cited.
Senator Ferguson also cited the
last sentence in the message, in
structing Gen. Short to limit dis
semination "of this highly secret
information to minimum essential
officers" and asked Gen. Gerow how
many officers he would have in
formed.
Gen. Gerow said he would have

them to carry out their missions.

Ester altman
Describes Japs
as Being Friendly

After spending three years teach
ing the English language in high
school and in college in Nagasaki,
Miss Ester Altman, visiting asso-
ciate professor of psychology at
Central Michigan college, teStifies
that the japanese common people
are very friendly and cordial.
In January of 1881 Miss Altman
left for Japan in connection with
the Women's Board of the Metho-
dist church. She returned to the
United States in July of 1895 by
way of Italy, Germany and Eng
land. She would like very much to
return to Japan and visit.
Miss Altman did say that in Tokyo
there was much more official feel
ing. She was in Japan at the time
the army entered Shanghai, and
said that the people did not COM
ment on it.
She feels that we cannot expect
the japanese people to have morals
comparable to our own, because we
must bear in mind that their
country is not a Christian one.
The students in her classes found
learning the English language diff
ficult because on the whole they
were more scientifically minded.
The students entered the school by
examination, as is true of all col
leges in the country, and upon
graduation from college could teach
English in the middle schools
throughout the country.
The schools in which Miss Alt
man taught in Japan were located
on the site where in 1920 the Chris
tians were forced to trample on the
cross as an indication of their in
tent to give up their religion. While
in Japan she lived in the house in
which Long, brother n-law of the
American ambassador to Japan,
lived when he wrote Madam But
terfly.
