ECEN. MARSHALL was not in Wash
" ingtOn. He left Nov - to inspect
maneuyers in the CarOlnas.
"Stmson, acting chief of staff. sent
Gen Short a brief message, saying
negotiations with Japan had ended. He
said:
"The United States desires Japan
to commit the first oUert oct. Prior to
hostile action you are directed to under
take such reconnaissance and other
measures as you deem necessary, but
these measures should be carried out
so as not to alarm the ciUil population
or disclose intent. Report measures
taken"
Short reported he had put into effect
the No. l alert-against sabotage or IN
ternal disorder
His previous warnings had indicated
that if Japanese action came it would
probably be thousands Of miles from Pearl
Harbor-perhaps the Philippines, or Singa
pore, or Hong Kong.
His No. alert was to protect against
the 100 900 Japanese living in the islands
and so reported
He might have expected an order to
use the No. decentralization against
external attack if his report of the No. l
alert was regarded in Washington as in
adequate under the circumstances known
only in Washington.
MO MESSAGE from Washington ever
went to Short after the one from
Stimson, to which he replied with the word
that he had put the sabotage alert into
effect Flynn says:
I'VE must bear in mind that after Nov.
~ Gen. Short never received another
message giving him any information
about the international situation. This is
difficult to believe. but il is true.
"And, we must ask, why was Short told
to alert against sabotage, while Gen. Mac
Arthur. in the Philippines, was told to
alert against all out and instant attack.
Roosevelt, the commander in chief,
who was now assured of the attack which
would get him safely into the war went of
to Warm Springs to enjoy the Thanks
giving holiday"
TNHE high command, in Washington,
Il knew Japan was moving to attack
every phase of Japanese -preattack move
ment was known through intercepted
messages brought about by our breaking
of the imperial code. But no messages to
the field command adequate to let them
know what Washington knew, were sent
The story of the night before Pearl
Harbor day, and the days of the attack
itself have been told in the Hearst news
papers within the last week. Washington
knew the time and hour Of the attack on
Pearl Harbor at least II hours before the
first bomb fell
But Short was left with the belief that
his alert against sabotage was considered
adequate BY the high command.

S2-CARAT DIAMOND

Finally into the confusion came
Miss West, complete with large
black hat from which a black
scarf hung and tWined around her
neck. She was wearing her fabu-
lous 32-carat diamond and a cos
tune ring. size two and a half
by two and a half.
Her heels are three and a half
inches high and she insists she $
five, four-with the heels, well
bet.
She never wears a girdle this
for information of the women, and
she keeps her hose up with round
garters. They were pale blue last
night.
What a day" she moaned.
"My trunks haven't come. l
haven't one negligee in the
place. Not one. We packed the
wrong hair drier-an AC one
and II won't work. So my hair
isn't done. And we open to-
night.
COOKING BARRED
"YOu see. I'm so busy. That's
the way II has always been.
Cook? or course not"
Her voice expressed as much
horror if the question had been
about murder.
"I'Ve just never had time to
get married" she said I've
been in love hundreds OF times.
But it's like my clothes. i have
so many i never know what TO

TOO many clothes and too
many men. How can you

Senator Murray of Montana, author of the pending Full Employment Bl has explained in letter to the New York Times that this piece of legislation essentially an af
 rmaton of faith In private enterprise It leaves private en- krprse completely free says the senator to exercise It's own ingenuity and initiative, which are the qualities that have made this country prosperous"
 But earlier In the letter Senator Murray has this to say Well private enterprise has been left to It's own de- from 1870 to 1880 and the record shows succession of depresSons with resulting unemployment"
 It might been well If he had explained the differ ence between private enterprsess own devices ana dscerns the distinction, but he doesn't say how he Is going to curb the depression.cauSng devices while eav ling the prosperity ingenuity and initiative u touched.
 The senator says that his bill contains provisions for regmentng or managing private enterprise" Yet one of It's purposes Is stimulate increased employment oppor federal investments and expenditures This would be the last step before the bs proposed public spending pro- gram and 1t would be interesting to know how the stiu ation could be applied without any pressure private management.
 It would also be interesting to know how accurately the government could translate the general term full e- ployment Into arbitrary number of persons to be e poyed and how accurately could make longrange fore casts of future unemploymen-an estimate which, ap- parently MT. Murrays whole program rests.
 It would be not only interesting but necessary to- know how this whole proposition can be made to work ef tcenty without return to the whoppingly expensive philosophy of deficit spending, without commitment to permanent naton and without opening the door to an expanded government control of business.
 Mr. Murrays rich If somewhat contradictory praise of private enterprise doesn't plug all the possible oophoeS m his bill through which an administration with mind to do 70 could introduce form of state socialism without the countrys direct sanction Such administration might set impossible goal of employment then announce that private enterprise had failed-and there you would have
 one doesn't need to be an altruist to share Senator Murrays desire for full employment The eventual prosper y of all of us rich or poor requires It. For that very req this bill which seeks to attain should have an haustive examination And there should be clear under Standing of further legislation required to put 1t into prac ce before the government the people think of mittng themselves to It's program

PEARL HARBoR INQUIRY
(New York Times)

| NNeW 3prk 4lHebD
 Because there are certain gaps ir
 oil the reports on Pearl Harbol which have been made thus far, and because of the widely different en1- phaSis given in these reports to certain critical actions and circun. stances, 1t Is proper and desirable that Congress should make It's own thorough study Of tho whole affair, The proper ystandafds for such on Investigation were stated by Sena- tor BaFkley when he introduced the resolution for on inquiry It should be conducted without partisanShip or favor toward any responsible Of. fieial, military or civilian. It should not attempt to Whitewash anyone, Nor should 1t, on the other hand, "be eondducted with the purpose of gratifying the nilsanthropic hatreds of any person toward any present or past public servant, high or low, living or dead,p It should look solely to the Rseertainmeiit of the cold, unVarniShed, indistputable facts so far as they are obtain' able"
 The problem will Do to keep poll ties out of the inquiry-Demoeratic politics, Republican politics and the politics of that small but unregen- crate group of pre-war isolationists which is still hoping to justify It's own past blindness and It's own poor advice by using . Pearl Harbor in. veStigation to prove somehoW that despite Japan's aggressive actions on the Continent of Asia and de- spite Japan's alliance with Hitler aimed directly at the United States and despite the fact that our own territory was invaded by the enemy and our own men killed and our own ships destroyed, President Roosevelt plunged the country into war"
 The Congressional inquiry will perform a useful purpose, and carry conviction with the public, to the extent that It sticks to "the cold, unvarnished, indisputable facts" for which Senator Barkley calls.
