Olson said that if it had been unethical, cash and not a check would have been used. The committee has in its records rec-ords photographed copies of the check and letters from Coffee arid Olson acknowledging its receipt.

Ferguson and Brewster filed a separate 45.000-word report in which they held that blame for the. fact Pearl Harbor was not fully alerted rests on "interdependent" responsibilities re-sponsibilities of high officials In Washington and the field commanders at Hawaii. They charged "failure to perform per-form the responsibilities indispensably indis-pensably essential to the defense of Pearl Harbor" against: Mr. Roosevelt; former Secretary Secre-tary of War Henry L. Stimson; the late Secretary of Navy Frank Knox; Gen. George C. Marshall, then army chief of staff; Adm Harold R. Stark, then chief of naval operations, and Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, then assistant chief of staff in charge of war plans, as well as Short and Kimmel. Ferguson and Brewster supported sup-ported their argument of Mr. Roosevelt's responsibility on the three-fold premise that, as presi dent, he was commander in chief of the army and navy, and also was responsible for the conduct of diplomatic affairs and for appointment ap-pointment of cabinet members and military and naval chieftains. They . also said he habitually stuck 'a personal finger into diplomatic dip-lomatic and military affairs. They agreed with previous army and navy investigations, however, that "the errors made by the Hawaiian commanders were errors of judgment and not derelictions of duty." The majority report also found: "1. The Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor was an unprovoked act of aggression by the Empire of Japan ... "2. The ultimate responsibility for the attack and its results rests upon Japan, an attack that was well planned and skillfully executed ... "3. The diplomatic policies and actions of the United States provided pro-vided no justifiable provocation whatever for the attack by Japan on this nation. . . "4. The president, the secretary of state, and high government officials of-ficials made every possible effort, ef-fort, without sacrificing our national na-tional honor and endangering our security, to avert war with Japan. ! "5. The disaster of Pearl Harbor Har-bor was the failure, with attend-! attend-! ant increase in personnel and i material losses, of the army and j the navy to institute measures designed de-signed to detect an approaching l hostile force, to effect a state of ! readiness commensurate with i the realization that war was at i hand, and to employ every facility facil-ity at their command in repcll-j repcll-j ing the Japanese. ! "6. Virtually everyone was i surprised that Japan struck the fleet at Pearl Harbor at the time that she did. Yet officers, both in Washington and Hawaii were fully conscious of the danger from air attack; they realized this form of attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan was at least a possibility; possibil-ity; and they were adequately informed in-formed of the imminence of war." Strategic Bombing Survey Seeks Department Of Long-Range Warfare; Billions for Research WASHINGTON, July 20 (U.R) Creation of what would amount to a department of long-range warfare was recommended today to President Truman, along with the suggested annual expenditure expendi-ture of $1,000,000,000 for research in new weapons. The recommendations were contained in the final summary report on the Pacific war by the j United States strategic bombing survey. "The United States must have the will and the strength to be a force for peace," the report said.

Johnson, one of the principals in the controversial recent primary pri-mary election for the nomination of Democratic two-year county commissioner, Saturday said he would, welcome a recount if such is necessary to clear up the situation. In the matter of deciding! whether a recount will be heldi as demanded by his opponent,! Elisha Warner, Payson, Commissioner Commis-sioner Johnson said he will take no part, leaving it entirely in the hands of the other two county commissioners to decide. In a statement issued Saturday, Commissioner Johnson said: "I deeply regret that in the primary election just concluded, there has arisen a question as to the final results of my nomination as county commissioner on the Democratic ticket. There has been a request by the candidate running against me for a recount of the ballots cast in that election. Holds No Objection "I wish to say to the voters of Utah county that if there is any doubt as to the accuracy of the count made by the judges of election, I am willing to have a recount of the hallls- There is only a desire on my part to have everything fair and above-board. If a recount would eliminate all doubt and settle the matter, I have no objection to such a recount." re-count." Johnson held a 35-vote lead over- Warner after the county commission canvassed the tally sheets and tabulations of each voting district. The decision concerning whether wheth-er Warner's recount request will be granted is not expected to be made at least until Monday, when the county commission meets in regular session and will receive ativice from County Attorney Arnold Roylance on legal aspects of the case. Warner contends that many ballots had a cross marked by" the party emblem rooster, contrary con-trary to voting instructions on the primary ballot, and that this should make such ballots "mark ed" and voided under state election elec-tion laws. The law says "marked" ballots, those with other marks than designated voting procedure, shall not be voided unless it is proved the "marking" was intended in-tended to show "concerted action" on the part of voters, so that such action could be determined by someone else. Warner made such a charge in his letter asking for a recount when he said: 'ft hereby make affidavit that totrthe best of my knowledge and belief, as ascertained ascer-tained by i personal observation and disoussions with watchers at the polls, that there has been an attempt on the part of many persons per-sons to so mark their ballots that the action of said group can be determined by any person." No Fraud Charge In the story of the recount request re-quest carried by the Payson Chronicle, published by Warner, the paper said: "No charge of fraud has been made against anybody, and certain cer-tain districts in and around Pay-son Pay-son were listed in the affidavit simply because they were the only districts in the county in 'which workers for or friends of Mr. Warner who could be readily contacted had opportunity to observe ob-serve the ballots." warning that heavily increased military preparations must be made "to assure an acceptable degree of national security." After urging prompt unification unifica-tion of the armed services, the board said: "Within a department of common com-mon defense which provides unity of command and is itself oriented toward air and new weapons, the survey believes that, in addition to the army and navy there should be an equal and coordinate position for a third establishment."

It further provides that, if I present prices equal costs plus! a reasonable profit, the OPA ! administor is not required to raise ceilings if he does not be-1 lieve such action will increase! production. i The conferees agreed to maintain a production senate provision exempting petroleum, petrol-eum, tobacco, leaf tobacco, and eggs from price controls. con-trols. Taft told reporters that the decontrol de-control board, to be appointed by the president with confirmation by the senate, must give priority to consideration of removing price controls on meat, milk and other vital foods. He made clear that the board will be expected to study those products immediately, and that the items will be continued under control only if the board finds that: 1. Prices on the commodities have risen unnecessarily above a price equal to the ceiling price in effect June 30. 2. There is a shortage of the commodity concerned and price control over it is practicable. 3. That the public interest will be served by recontrol. Barkley said it would be up to OPA to decide what price ceilings would be put back on the affected products. He said the OPA could restore re-store the June 30 ceilings or set new ones. Conferees arranged to meet again Monday to clarify the language lan-guage of the bill. Here are major provisions of the compromise bill. 1. Extend OPA until June 30, 1947. 2. Vest authority in the secretary secre-tary of agriculture to certify each agricultural item deemed in short supply and over which price ceilings cart be maintained. The secretary by December 31, shall recommend removal of price ceilings on items not important to living costs.

Establish a price decontrol board, no more than two members mem-bers of which would be of the same political party. The board, after hearing industry and consumer con-sumer representatives, could order or-der removal or revisions of price ceilings. 4. Industries would be authorized author-ized to petition . the board for price ceiling removals or adjustments. adjust-ments. The board would conduct hearings before making its recommendations rec-ommendations to the OPA administrator. ad-ministrator. The board's recommendations recom-mendations would govern the actions ac-tions of the administrator. 5. The bill continues rent control, con-trol, but the conferees eliminated eliminat-ed a senate provision which would have banned OPA action for district having local rent control ordnances. 6.
