State must surely have communicated this information to the war and navy departments Chairman Connally (D) Texas of the senate foreign relations committee told reporters it was unfortunate that the warning was not heeded by those whose duty it was to stand guard in a distant outpost and to heed important warnings that affected the nation's security" "If the army and navy clepartmerits knew what the state department aays it knew" Connally contimued -their tragic negligence of our security in Hawaii is all' the more eignificant" Admiral Husband Kimmel commander in chief of the Pacific fleet ad Lieutenant General Walter Short commander of the Hawaiian military department were relieved of their commands shortly after the Pearl Harbor attack Subsequently the navy and akar departments announced that preparation of charges for trial by court-martial had been ordered but that trial would not be held until such time as public interest and safety would permit BreyNster Concurs Agreeing with Connally's view-paint Senator Brewster (R) Maine said he thought publication of the white book would be helpful rot only in giving the people the facts about the situation but far the effect it might have on future cooperation and coordination of activities of various government departments "The white book certainly clarifies the relationship of the state department to this situation and makes even more serious the responsibility now borne by the war and navy departments for the Pearl Harbor disaster" he said Senator Taft (R) Ohio said the disclosures in the book bore out his previous belief that the state department was 1'in the clear" particularly in view of the revelation that ul1 had told the British ambassador November 29 1941 only eightt days before the surprise Japanese sissault that "the diplomatic patt of our relations with Japan was virtually over and that the matter will now go to the officials of the army and navy" Recalls Re sol tiori Senator Wiley (II) Wisconsin recalled that in February 1911 he had introduced a resolution skirg that the secretary of state be called before the senate to expiain the progress of negotiations with Japan He said it was barely possible that if congress had known the seriousness of the situation even At that time it might have taken some action that would have prevented the surprise attack "It was just mental isolation that made the Pearl Harbor attack possible" he declared -CLEANED LIKE NE Newgetioa CLEANE Handy Offics 2 07 Las I 5 a in Ro 247 East I 4a ALLA'LAIN GARMENTS FOR DELIVERr Dial 3:7681 go Carry

destroying Japan's air forces in Pacific" the aeronautical chamber of commerce said Sunday Between the opening of the African campaign and January 1 the allies lost 114 planes in north Africa-59 of them while destroying 277 enemy combat craft the chamber reported Okeh Popular Names At the same time the war and navy departments announced official adoption of popular names such as Flying Fortresses and Liberator bombers for combat aircraft The two services have been using code letters to identify types of planes They adopted popular names "in order that the general public may get a better idea of the character of military aircraft and more easily identify the combat planes mentioned in press dispatches from the battlefields of the world" The aeronautical chamber an organization of aircraft companies said the allies' successful operations against German and Italian air fleets had been carried out ''despite the fact that the nazis to date have had every advantage operating from short lines of commurdcation adequate airfields and with vastly smaller areas to defend Great numbers of Americas mostly deadly fighters and bombers are being concentrated in the north African war theater for the 'final full-scale lunge against the axis" Has Little 'Drag' Among these 17 planes the chamber noted is the P-38 Lightning a twin-engined fighter built by Lockheed "to pinch hit as a medium bombing plane" Its aerodynamic lines are so clean the statement continued "that 60 per cent of the plane's drag is in the tricycle landing the gear folds up into the wing immediately after takeoff The drag of the remaining 40 per cent in flight is less than that of an ordinary card table 27 inches square It can fly with comparative ease on one engine alone" In adopting popular names the army and navy fall in line with a practice long in effect In England Some of the British names for aircraft have been approved and the British are being asked to call the navy's carrier fighter the Grumman Wildcat instead of "Martlet" as it Is known in England 1 I 'Harvard' Becomes 'Texan' At the request of the manufacturer North American's advanced trainer known in Britain as the "Harvard" will
