 OfFieiols Desire
 Higher Returns

Revenues of the City ~ Waterbury for the arst Eve months Of the year were closs to s5OOO.0OO. according to ngmS which The Democrat compiled to- day. These figures included t2ae heavy tax collections of last month and April and indicate that u1s city has lees than e2000 000 to coa- lect during the remaining seven months of the year to approxinnae the estimated badgetary revenues Of se.s72.sle7s.
 Actual revenue figures fog JaEaa- ary. February. March. April end May were es.e05 .easse. They do not reflect the late tax collecftons made on May a. June l and g. on which date taxpayers were allowed to pay first installment taxes waEa- out penalty. due to the fact tesas June 1 fell on Saturday. It b sx- pected that revenue figures aG a1le end Of June will show . total wed over sS.00O.O00.
 City officials are hopeful s1aa4 revenues collected during io1s wDl exceed estimates e unexpenAed balances in appropriation items aEe expected to be rather few this year in comparison with those 0f Ae last three Or four. Rising costs od materials. supplies. etc. are ez- pected to raise havoc with many departmental appropriation items and will undoubtedly produce an extraordinary number 0f end-0- the-year transfers to take care Of normal services and supplies. whose costs have been skyrockettng sance last Winter.
 Collections by the city according to months were as follows this yeArs January, ei3i.O35.3 .3s: February Sle2.2il76; March. e11o.JIA.11, April. e73o6i5.s0. and May. e9ee3. I0252. The last two months Ee1Ipn' the pick-up in tax collections pEsna to the June 1 deadline when 6zs installments wese due.

People and Congress
To Force Senate Vote
On FEPC, Myers Says
~ the Associated Press.


Senator Myers 3D., of Pa de-
clared yesterday the people and
Congress are ready to force the
hand Of these obstructionists" who
are preventing Senate vote on the
FEPC bill by filibuster.
He made no direct reference, how
ever, to the petition which he and
40 other Senators have signed in
an effort to shut off debate on the
measure to set up a permanent Fair
Employment Practice Commission
with bread power to prevent en-
.ployment discrimination on account
Of race or creed. The petition would
require a two-thirds vote for adop-
ton, but is sure to run into rough
parliamentary shedding when an at
tempt is made to formally file 1t in
the Senate.
Southern opponents of the FEPC
bill contend that the seldom applied
cloture, or debate limiting rule will
not hold against the current ques-
ton before the Senate. 1t is not
the FEPC bill at all, but motion
to correct" the journal of the Sem
ate proceedings of January IT.
1--WE are fighting to keep a promise
r-de by the men who founded our
e. overnment, Senator Myers said in
a statement.
"They promised that every man,
no matter what his race, creed or
color, no matter where his parents
were born, in these United States
would have an equal chance to earn
his livelihood"

quiry. AS he prepared to leave the
stand he said he maintained a
steadfast silence for four years, as
a soldier, and I would have contin-
ued to do so as long as the interest
of national security required it." He
said he had tried to give the COM
mittee all the facts, and thanked
them for their treatment of him.
Thinks Good Accomplished.
Chairman Barkley observed that,
regardless of the findings the COM
mittee may finally embody in It's
report, he believed the holding of
these hearings in public would ac-
complish good, and enable the
people to reach their own conclu-
sions
The committee received from its
counsel memorandum from Mai.
Gen. Myron C. Cramer to Gen. Mar
shall in which the then Judge Advo-
cate General discussed the tenta-
tive charges against Gen. Short on
January n, 1912. Gen. Cramer said
they were "offenses of omission or
nonfeasance, which require a much
stronger showing to justify a trial
than those involving misfeasance
or malfeasance.
Gen. Shorts nonfeasance or
omissions" said Gen. Cramer, were
based on an estimate of situation
which, although proved faulty by
subsequent events, was, insofar as
I am able. to ascertain from the re-
port Of the Roberts) commission,
made or concurred in by all those
officers in Hawaii best qualified to
form a sound military opinion. That
estimate was that an attack by air
was in the highest degree improb-
able"
Gen. Cramer added: eff a court
should find him guilty and sentence
him to anything less than dismissal,
the Army would be accused of
whitewashing Gen. Short. This ac-
cusation would be much more
strongly made should the trial re-
suit in his acquittal
Needed Open Trial.
Such trial would have to be
In open court; otherwise the War
Department would be subject to
criticism of whitewashing If Gen.
Short is acquitted, or of prosecuting
him If convicted"
The judge advocate general
pointed out that highly secret in
formation necessarily would have to
figure in the trial in the midst of

Legion Award 10 Hearst
Defended by Californian
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
STOCKTON, Calf, jan. 26.-Leon
Happell, National Executive Commit
teeman of the American Legion for
California, said today that the action
of the Legion post at Bismarck,
N. OAK, asking why the Legion's s
Distinguished Service Medal was
awarded to William Randolph
Hearst was entirely out of line"
"It is contrary to regulations for
a single post to override (sic) the
judgment of the National Commit
tee," Mr.. Happell said. More
over, the award was deserved. Hearst
has gone out of his way to back up
the Legion program nationally. His
personal principles did not enter
into the issue"
Mr.. Happell also said William
Stern, North Dakota National Com
mitteeman, was one of those who
spoke in favor of the award. Mr..
Happell made the principal speech
favoring presentation, and was at
Mr.. Hearst's San Simeon home
when the medal was given to the
publisher recently.

Gen. Short Says Army
Found Three Ways to
Tell Him of Recall

Representative Keefe, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, recalled at
the Pearl Harbor hearing yes
terday that Maj. Gen. Walter
c. Shorts staff got a telephone
call through to Gen. George c.
Marshall in Washington seven
minutes after the Japanese at
tackled. Mr.. Keefe asked Gen.
Short if that would suggest that
Washington could have phoned
the final warning which went
by commercial radio and
reached the Hawaiian comman-
der several hours after the at
tack.
With a wry smile, Gen. Short
recalled that when the time
came to relieve him of command
a few days later, Washington
found three different ways to
make sure he got the order.
Within the space of 40 minutes,
he said, he received a radio
gram, a written order via
plane, and a telephone call.

Occidental Hotel, Cafe
Business Purchased
By Former Employees

The Occidental Hotel and Restau-
rant business, 1400 block Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, has been sold
by the Buchholz estate to two long
time employees for s55,0OO, plus the
cost of food and beverages on hand
1t was learned yesterday. The
buildings are not included in the
sale.
The purchasers are Charles Sim
mons and Raymond Deaner, CO.
managers. both of whom have been
with the restaurant for many years.
Mr.. Simmons has been an employe
since about 1918, according to At
torney Cornelius H. Doherty, execu-
tor under the will of the late Mrs.
Christina Buchholz, owner of the
business, who died here in January,
1945. Mr.. Deaner for many years
was auditor.
Both Mr.. Simmons and Mr..
Deaner were left bequests by Mrs.
Buchholz and also by her son, Fred
erick w. Buchholz, who died in No.
vember, 1914. Mrs. Buchholz' estate
was estimated to be worth approxi-
mately $597 900. Mrs. Buchholz was
the widow of Gustav Buchholz.
The Occidental Hotel building
proper is owned by the Willard
estate, Mr.. Doherty said. The res
taurant building, in turn, is owned
by a granddaughter of Mrs. Buch-
holz.
A formal court order approving
the sale of the business itself was
signed by Justice F. Dickinson Let's
OF District Court. The business sale
price included fixtures and some
$4,000 for good will, Mr.. Doherty
said.

the war, which would be against the
national interest.
"The career of Gen. Short as an
active Army officer" he said, lis
finished and closed. Because of the
lack of confidence which the public
now has in him, which lack of conf
dence would no doubt be shared by
his future subordinates, it is un-
thinkable that any command should
again be entrusted to him. Gen.
Short knows this. That in itself is
a very severe punishment. Further
more, Gen. Short has been relieved
OF his command, which reduced him
from lieutenant general to a ma
jor general. =" !.
Gen. Cramer suggested that the
application of Gen. Short for re-
tirement be accepted. In this con-
nection, the Army's chief judicial
officer added: II would further
suggest that it would be both poll
tic and just to coordinate the action
taken by the War Department with
that taken by the Navy Department
in the case of Admiral Kimmel."
Preferred Active Duty.
Gen. Short has testified that, al
though Gen. Marshall, phoning him
at Oklahoma City from Washington,
told him to stand pat" he enclosed
request for retirement in a letter,
telling the chief of staff he could
use it If he felt necessary, although
Gen. Short preferred to remain on
active duty. Within "a hours, Gen.
Short said, Gen. Marshall told the
Secretary of War they had better
accept Gen. Shorts request" for
retirement. Admiral Kimmel told
the committee Admiral Harold r.
Stark, chief of naval operations, in
formed him that Gen. Short was re-
firing and perhaps he would want
to take the same course.
The first specification drawn
against Gen. Short when a court
martial was considered charged him
with failure to provide an adequate
inshore aerial patrol"
To this Gen. Short repled: Il did
have an adequate patrol. The air
people were satisfied and had full
control. It's purpose was antisub-
marine defense, and 1t was not de-
signed for air defense"
Didn't Have Equipment.
AS Senator Ferguson read each of
the other specifications and Gen.
Short replied, this colloquy went into
the record:
Charge: Failure to provide ade-
|quate antiaircraft defenses"
Gen. Short: "We would have had
an adequate antiaircraft defense if
the War Department had given us
the equipment and had given us
the information which indicated i'm
minent attack. Or, if they had re-
piled to my report and indicated any
desired modification" y
Charge: Failure to set up an ade-
quate interceptor command"
Gen. Short: I'VE were training
personnel as fast as We could to op-
crate an effective interceptor COM
mand, and it was set up and operat-
ing as effectively as it could"
Charge: Failure to provide a
lprop-r aircraft warning service"

service. 1t was in operation"
Restricted by Marshall.
Charge: Failure to provide fo,
the transmission of appropriate
warnings to interested agencies"
Gen. Short: "We were restricted
by direct order from Marshall from
transmitting the November q (1s41)
warming to any other than the mini.
mum essential officers"
Charge: Failure to establish .
proper system of defense by CO.
operation and coordination with
the Navy"
Gen. Short: "We had full. com.
piete plans for defense by 'co-opera.
ton with the Navy, which had beer
approved by Gen. Marshall,
Charge: "Failure to issue ADEQUATE
orders to his subordinates as to their
duties in case of sudden attack"
Gen. Short: II could not tell sub.
ordinates' to expect a sudden attack
which neither I nor the War De-
partment nor any one else expected
Our information regarding impend-
Ing hostile action was by direction
OF the chief Of staff, limited to the
minimum esential officers. Our SOP
(order) of November, 194l, pre-
scrloed fully the duties of all per
sonnel in event of any sudden at
tack"
Had Sabotage Protection.
Charge: Failure to take adequate
measures to protect the fleet and
naval base at Pearl Harbor."
Gen. Short: "I took every mea s,,re
l thought necessary to protect the
fleet and naval base against sabotage
l so reported to the War DEPART
ment. Marshall testified that / was
reasonable in assuming that was
doing exactly what he wanted. he
cause otherwise he would have noti-
ned me that he wanted more meas
ures taken"
Charge: Failure to have his air.
planes dispersed in anticipation of
a hostile attack, after having been
warned OF the danger therof."
Gen. Short: Il was never warned
OF any imminent danger of an air
attack. The planes were therefore
grouped for more adequate protec-
ton against hostile action in the
form of sabotage"
Charge: Failure to have his air.

Aircraft Not Ready.
Gen. Short: MY aircraft were
not in a state of readiness for a
surprise air attack, but were pro-
tected against sabotage, as directed
by the War Department in the
sabotage-alert messages of 27 and
20 November, 1941, and as reported

Charles C. Wall, superintendent
of Mount Vernon, who gave the
stone from Washington famous
home on the Potomac, told The Star
that 1t was taken from section
OF an original hearth displaced in
the course of repairs.
The fragment from the White
House is authenticated by Lorenzo
S. WinSlow, Architect of the White
House, as having been in an exterior
wall OF the Executive Mansion from
1892 until October, 1914. 1t was
accompanied to Palestine by a piece
OF mahogany and four handmade
iron nails which once were parts of
a window in the East Room, also
contributed by Mr.. Winslow.
David Lynn, architect of the Capt.
tol. chose the stone from the Capt.
tol building. 1t was taken from
quarries at Aqua Creek, an arm of
the Potomac about 40 miles south
OF Washington, and was a portion
of the old Supreme Court section,
the Senate wing Of the
structure. The date of the frag-
ment, Mr.. Lynn declared, was be-
tween 1898 and 1900.
The certifying letters of Mr.. Wall,
Mr.. Winslow and Mr.. Lynn will be
sealed in the cornerstone at Givat
