The Washington Post said "It would be foolish to attribute a disaster of such magnlture solely to the nhurti omliigs of two commanding officers. The commission s report dearly reveals that there was negligence In Washington as well." The New York Times said the report seems "too eweeping In ex-i-ulpatlng" Kimmel's and Hhort's superiors, while the New York Hert aid Tribune said Kimmel's and Hhort's want of foresight was "paralleled higher up''-—at Washington where "there waw a lack of imagination."
