command was alerted sible sabotage. - High Command Criticized An army board which investigated the Pearl Harbor defeat of Dec. 7, 1041, criticized the army high command here for not deducing from Short’s reply that the Hawaiian command had not taken sufficient measures for defense. The replies and other war department records were presented to the committee by Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles, acting chief of army intelligence in 1041. Miles was called as a witness at the conclusion of testimony by Joseph C. Grew, last U. S. ambassador to Japan. Members of the committee earlier had clashed over. the late President Roosevelt's campaign speech promise in 1940 that American boys “will not be sent into a foreign war.” Chairman Alben W. Barkley (D. Ky), finally put the entire speech into the record. The documents presented by Miles showed that: 1. Army officials expected halfhour delivery on a Dec. 7, 1941, of a warning message sent by Marshall to Pearl Harbor an hour and seven minutes before the.attack. It ac{tually was decoded and delivered seven hours and three minutes after the attack. Aerial Espionage Ordered 2. Ten days before Pearl Harbor the Hawaiian department was ordered to send two B-24 Liberator {bombers on aerial espionage over |Jap-held™ Truk and Jaluit islands. The order said the planes should “use all means in their power for self-preservation” if attacked. The records did not say whether the order was carried out. 3. Army ‘intelligence on Oct. 2, 1941, urged that the government cease its efforts to get Japan to withdraw its troops from China. The policy should be, G-2 said, to “keep as much of the Japanese army as possible pinned down in China” while ‘giving the Chinese all aid possible. - 4.

TRAFFIC DEATHS UP 53 PER CENTIN U.S.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20 (U. P).~The National Safety Council, citing a rapidly increasing traffic death toll, warned today that this country “is paying an inflationary price in human life for the privilege of indulging in a post-war traffic spree.” Traffic accidents are “getting out of control,” it said. The council reported that traffic deaths throughout the nation went up 53 per cent in October over the same month a year ago and said that the toll for the first 10 months of the year was 14 per cent higher than in 1944. The Octeber death toll of 3440 compares with a total of 3303 dead and missing in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
