Short, Kimmel
Should Be Examples . . .
HE PEARL HARBOR REPORT re-
vealed what the American people
long suspected about some of its brass hats-
that the brass hats were superfluous covering
for thick skulls. The unanimous approval which
greeted the report of Associate Justice Roberts
and his colleagues has unfortunately, .however,
been coupled with a tendency to forgive those
whose inexcusable inaction was responsible for
Pearl Harbor and some of its aftermaths.
The notorious fact of General Short's feud
with Admiral Kimmel added to their disregard
of specific warnings concerning the imminence
of attack can only mean that these two men
were guilty of more than "dereliction- of duty,?
they were guilty of the murders of highly-
trained personnel, of the destruction of tremen-
dously important war weapons. Their short-
sighted, unforgivable neglect of the fundamental
rule of warfare-keep always on the alert-
cannot be dismissed lightly.
T IS NOT for the 'individual punishment of
these men as men that we ask, it is their pun-
ishment as symbols of an attitude that has
appeared all too commonly in our armed forces.
Even after the Hawaiian debacle-and there
can no longer be any doubt that it was a deb-
acle-there was a disgusting tendency in our
national capital to write the whole thing off to
experience and conceal its details from the
public.
Fortunately, Roosevelt took action in such a
way that direct responsibility for the disaster
had to be fixed. It fell upon the proper persons
as the report itself specified, and now Roosevelt
should take the next logical step-drastic pun-
ishment of those who were responsible for our
Pacific plight.
Those claiming that the conscience-stricken
commanders should be forgiven as having al-
ready suffered enough overlook the necessity of
providing an object lesson for others both in
the Navy and the Army who tend to be too sure
of themselves, too complacent about our final
victory.
N SPITE of the fine work done by General
Marshall in weeding out incompetent offi-
cers, the accusations directed at General Short
by the Roberts report leave no doubt that there
is still a class of officers in the Army who regard
precedent and rank, service prestige and advan-
tage ahead of the welfare of the nation. It
seems almost too illogical to believe that the
only officers of this type in the armed services
should be found in that one danger spot; it is
so illogical that we are forced to confess that we
can't believe it, that we do, indeed, believe that
he is duplicated many times over in our Army.
It is because of this belief in the uncertain
ability of many of-our top-ranking officers that
we call so strongly for the translation of the
Roberts report into action. We ask for the im-
mediate and public discharge of Short from
the Army and Kimmel from the Navy, with the
social ostracism that such an ejection implies.
-Hale Champion
Arithmetic Lessons Urged
WHETHER OR NOT Americans are illiterate

BECAUSE it is difficult to argue with adminis-
trators about that which is in detail their
business, even though in general effect it may
be the business of all of us, I am forced in writ-
ing this column to admit that after having dis-
cussed the matter with the respective heads of
Men's Residence Halls, and of Approved Room-
ing Houses for Men, I can see a certain amount
of justice on their side as well as on mine. Mine
is the side of the student, without much regard
to dormitory bondholders, interest rates, or in
fact, the landladies of rooming houses. That
these factors should be considered has been
pointed out to me, but I am afraid that it is
just that consideration of all the complexities
which has brought the present decision on room
rents from the Administration, a decision which
is on the one hand, I believe, an unjust one, and
on the other hand, no decision at all. Granted
the initial premise that both administrators
handle a double job, steering between good for
the landlady or dormitory, and good for the
student, there is a certain internal justice to be
found in both cases. If either of the men who
come under criticism here wish to state fully
what their reasons are, and what the factors
are which will make their actions easier for the
students to take, I invite them right now to do
so. They have argued, but have not convinced
me entirely th'at they have justice. I can only
say in agreement with them that I can see what
they mean when they say justice, and that
within certain self-defined limits, they have
achieved it.
But there are two kinds of justice. One exists
mainly on precedent and the letter of the law,
and tends, in a system where both the adminis-
trative and the judicial powers are given to the
same group, to favor that group as against all
cQmers, whatever right may be on the side of
the dissenters. The other kind of justice is the
more liberal sort, under which, with due regard
to the soundness of precedent, the letter of the
law is occasionally ignored in order to achieve
true justice, especially in regards to the rights
of people under unusual and unforeseen cir-
cumstances, and in fact the shifting of the
written law's effect and aim.
NOW the gentlemen under discussion may say
that there is no true injustice in the ar-
rangements they have made. They may also
say that they have adjusted the matter of room
rent for the shortened semester in the most
moderate way possible, injuring neither student
nor landlady or dormitory beyond reason. Actu-
ally what they have done cannot be judged
until a few test cases have been tried. In the
dormitories this will be quite difficult, for the
very impersonality, and the excellent flexibility
of decision in University-controlled organiza-
tions of any sort, makes an effective appeal
almost impossible, and again, as I have said,
the justice of any arguments put forward will
be judged by the administering body involved
in the arguments. In the rooming houses, rep-
resenting in this respect the equally undesirable
opposite of the dormitory situation, the test
cases will degenerate in many cases into no
more than personal, perhaps very bitter, squab-
bles between landlady and students. By shirking
their responsibility in this matter, these admin-
istrators demonstrate a misplaced academic
cautiousness of mind, which may save them
some embarrassment immediately, but may
cause them considerably more in the future.
Their stand, or rather their lack of stand,
rests upon a technicality. Rent, they claim, is
computed on a semester, and not a weekly basis.
Therefore, on the one hand in the dormitories,
there will be no rebate on the original rental fee
for the semester although an adjustment will
be made on board bills. And on the other hand,
immediately pointing up the difference between
the two groups affected, Assistant Dean Olm-
sted was quoted in Saturday's Daily as saying
that in all cases except those where the landlady
of a rooming house charged on a per diem basis
for the days preceding the opening of the school
year, "any form of settlement is left to the dis-
cretion of the householder and the student con-
cerned." I am not well enough posted on dormi-
tory finances to understand why there should
be no arbitration allowed resident students, but

the fact that discrepancies will arise which will
drive home the relative status of the dormitory
resident and the rooming house resident may
have considerable effect in the future on the
residences of those students not required by
University ruling to live in the dorms.
PERHAPS NOT, THOUGH. For certainly the
choice is very very much between the lesser
of two evils. I cannot quote the entire story
from Saturday's Daily in which Mr. Olmsted
"clarified" several points. The neatest thing
Mr. Olmsted had to say was this:
"It is the wish of the University that
neither party shall profit nor lose by the
changed conditions and, in cases where this
is true, settlements agreeable to both. par-
ties shall be encouraged."
And then:
"In each case, the form of settlement is
largely an individual one and no general
policy or compromise shall be imposed by
any authority."
NOW in all fairness to the landladies of the
rooming houses it must be pointed out to
Mr. Olmsted that both, or either of the parties
stand to profit or lose by the changed condi-
tions. Somebody, to coin a phrase for Mr. Olm-
sted's benefit, is going to be left holding the bag.
Next, by refusing to adopt a general policy or
compromise, Mr. Olmsted apparently feels that
he can duck any responsibility for cases of hard
feeling and injustice which may arise from his
stout championing of the cause of individualism.
I shall close this protest by asking a few ques-
tions, which Mr. Olmsted, and where applicable,
Mr. Litzenberg, may answer at their leisure, as
long as it doesn't take too long.
Does Mr. Olmsted really believe that a student
will exercise his right to occupy his room until
June 16, when the semester ends May 30, simply
to exact his rental rights to that room if the
landlady has not refunded the extra two weeks
rent? The sit-down strike is passe, Mr. Olmsted.
Do you realize that regardless of the techni-
cality of semester rents, those rents are com-
puted in the case of rooming houses at a rate
which is identical with a fixed sum per week
for a certain number of weeks, and that in that
computation, rent is paid for the rooms during
holidays as well as during actual occupancy?
This to dispose of the argument that elimination
of Spring Vacation should account for the extra
rental to be paid in spite of a shortened semester.
Again, Mr. Olmsted, are you aware that when
a student inquires about a room at the begin-
ning of the school year, he dpes not ask how
much the semester rent will be, but how much
per week? And that the landlady replies "four
dollars" or "five dollars," and not "eighty dol-
lars a semester"?
That it is not, and never has been, the custom
of students to examine too closely the wording
of the University Approved Rooming House
Contracts for legal loopholes, since for the most
part these contracts have always been assumed
to be for the student's benefit, while at the same
time binding him to the payment of a fixed
weekly rent for his room? And that the dis-
crepancy in semester rent for rooming houses,
between the first and second semesters, corre-
sponds very suspiciously to the number of weeks
in those semesters?
/ELL, enough for now. As justification there
is on the one hand a set of University ledgers
headed "en's Residence Halls," which may be
difficult to balance. And on the other hand
there is simply that age-old cry, "a square deal
for all, and if they don't get it, well it isn't my
fault." The University is all out for the defense
effort, but it doesn't want to lose too much
money at it. There is precedent for this view.
But we have been taught to expect rather more
of the University than business on a horse-
trading basis. And from men in positions of
authority in the University, we have come to
expect-we can only expect, for there does not
exist any sort of cheek and balance system
here-rather more administrative justice, rather
more concern for the students, and rather less
vacillation. So long until soon.

WashiBngton Merry.AGo-Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

W ASHINGTON-Two very significant long-
W distance telephone calls preceded the tor-
pedoing of John L. Lewis's blitz AFL-CIO peace
maneuver.
The first call was from CIO president Phil
Murray in New York to war labor chief Sidney
Hillian in Washington. Murray read Hillman
the letter he had drafted slapping down Lewis
and informing him that he (Murray) and not
Lewis was boss of the CIO.
Murray read Hillman the letter for his ap-
proval and suggestions.
This was the first time in more than a year
that Murray had sought out Hillman's counsel
and support. Only a few weeks before, Murray
had taken an indirect swipe at Hillman by urg-
ing the President to place all war labor activities
in the Labor Department. For months mutual
friends of the two leaders had labored unsuccess-
fully to establish a basis of cordial working re-
lations between them.
'You Are Right, Phil'
A T THIS CONFERENCE, Murray stated that
notice had been served on top CIO officers
who are on the United Mine Worker payroll that

Lewis's head and take the fight directly to the
UMW rank-and-file.
"Mr. President," Murray said earnestly, "I
ardently favor peace between the CIO and the
AFL. Also, the last thing I want is dissension
between myself and any man in the labor move-
ment. But we are a democratic people and we
insist on solving our problems in an orderly and
democratic manner. No man is big enough to
tell the American worker what he should do and
how he should do it."
Roosevelt assured Murray he was behind him
"to the hilt." "You are in the right, Phil," he
said, "and you can't lose because labor won't let
you down in this kind of a fight."
