PEARL HARBOR:
Shorts Turn

In telling the Pearl Harbor inves-
tigating committee that the war de-
partment's withholding Of intercept
ed Japanese messages prior to the
fatal attack on the naval base had
not permitted him to make adequate
preparations against assault, Maj.
Gen. Walter c. Short took the same
position as Admiral Kimmel.
Lashing the war department for
having made him the "scapegoat"
for the disaster, Short declared that
had he been furnished the gist Of in
tercepted Japanese messages point
ing toward imminent war, he would
have girded his Hawaiian command
for an about alert. As it was, he
said, he only ordered a watch
against sabotage and presumed it
was satisfactory since Chief Of Staff
Marshall had not countermanded
the step.
Discussing the intercepted enemy
message Of December 6, indicating
q break in diplomatic relations, and
the concluding part of the dispatch
December 7, specifying the exact
time for the rupture, Short assert
ed that had the war department sent
him the information promptly, he
would have had four hours in which
to prepare for an attack. A tele-
phone call to Hawaii would have
taken a few minutes Short stated.
