Kimme| Calls Charge!
OF Not Cooperating
Malicious Lies
Deliberate Compoien
To Smear Him and
Short Charged
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
Evidence in previous Pearl
Harbor Investigations before the
congressional committee today
showed that Rear Admiral Hus-
band E. Kimmel, Pacific Fleet
commander in 1941, told a Navy
Court the Roberts Commission
gave the public "misstatements'
about Army-Navy relations in
Hawaii.
Admiral Kimmel charged that
there had been deliberate CAM
paign to smear" him and Maj.
Gen. Walter C. Short, Army COM
mander in Hawaii.
The admiral did not say who had
tried to smear them, but termed
malicious lies" reports that he and
Gen. Short failed to cooperate for
the defense of Pearl Harbor.
The Roberts Commission, ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt, was
the first group to investigate Pearl
Harbor.
Gilberts Survey Overruled.
Other excerpts from a transcript
of the Kimmel testimony before the
Roberts Commission, the Navy
Court and the Army Pearl Harboi
Board showed he had planned to
scout a Japanese-held island chain
where later the Marines suffered
heavy losses. The suggestion was
vetoed, Admiral Kimmel said.
Admiral Kimmel said he wanted
to survey the Gilbert group which
includes Tarawa, but Washington
instructed him not to take feet
units anywhere near" those islands
in prewar days.
TaraWa and other islands in the
Gilberts were taken by amphibious
forces in hard fighting during No.
vember, 1943, as the westward offen-
sive across the Central Pacific was
launched. A British possession, the
Gilberts were seized by the japanese
after the outbreak of the war and
strongly fortified.
Admiral Kimmel said the reason
given by the Navy Department for
vetoing the projected survey was
that we should not evince any in
terest in the Gilberts because the
Japs might find. out that we were
interested ..
Rated Jap Espionage Excellent.
Admiral Kimmel's testimony about
the Gilberts was before an Army
inquiry board in 1914. Three years
earlier he had complained to the
Roberts Commission that pre-Pearl
Harbor intelligence he received
from Washington was ineffective
and inaccurate"
In his testimony before the
Roberts Commission, the admiral
rated Japanese espionage in Homo
lulu excellent in comparison with
the information he said he received
from the Navy Department.
He mentioned that on December !
1o41, the director of naval intelli-
gence (then Vice Admiral T. S.
WilkinSon) had issued a bulletin
saying there were strong indications
of a Japanese attack on Thailand
but that major (Japanese) capital
ship strength remains in home wa
ters."
Actually the enemy task force was
then at sea en- route to attack Pearl
Harbor, previous evidence shows.
Admiral Kimmel said that from
January 20, 194l, on he periodically
received messages from Washington
which indicated "a grave situation. >
The messages in the weeks just be-
fore the attack, he added, appeared
little different from earlier ones.
In his opinion, a study of corre-
spondence would show the Navy
Department did not expect an at
tack ION Hawaii) or that "hostilities
were unduly imminent" he said.

Ing at Washington Airport after

You couldn't drive either of them

While in Moscow, Mr.. Thomas in
spected the Stain automobile works.
1t was his first visit to Russia and
he was favorably impressed with
/ Soviet production methods.
Il was very much surprised that
they were getting along so well in
production" he said. They are
doing very good job, particularly
on truck output. The quantity of
the auto output wasn't so good, but
they told me the main Stain auto
plant had been moved to the Ural
Mountains"
At the plant he visited, Mr..
Thomas said, the Russians made a
large automobile similar to our
Packard. He commented that the
quality OF the car was as good as
anything I have seen in this coun-
try" He said he timed the truck
assembly line and it produced about
LOB trucks in an eight-hour shift.

I'VE were absolutely free to 60
any place we wanted to in Moscow, !"
he added. 1--WE took motion pic
lures all over the place.
The auto workers over there
look about the same as ours. But,
OF course, they have had a tough
time in the war. The standard of
living of the workers is not as high
as here, but I would say that it has
improved greatly over the years"
One the return trip Mr.. Thomas
and Mr.. Ross toured the American
occupation zone in Germany. They
said that German labor leaders in
the zone were having difficult
time largely because the area is pre-
dominantly agricultural and the
people there are mot as progressive

Officer Says:

Not very many people are born
with heart defects. Usually heart
disease develops as a result of in
lection or some other condition or
living habit which causes actual
damage to the heart. Aside from
the natural breakdown of old age,
the heart may in great measure be
protected from injury, if people are
informed early enough in life how
to be on guard. Even after heart
disease has developed, it may often
be arrested by intelligent care.
Heart weakness or heart failure
during or following an infectious
disease such as diphtheria, scarlet
fever, pneumonia or influenza is
caused usually by the poisonous
effect on the heart and blood yes

placed on the heart in helping the
body to overcome the infection.
Occasionally the germs themselves

The heart is a remarkable faith
