To Militar,
WASHINGTON, July 20.—(AP)—A majority of the
(•ongressional Pearl Harbor Committee, laying solely to mil-
itary men the failures which contributed to the 1941 disas-
ter, declared today that the late President Roosevelt and his
cabinet "dischaiged their res|x>nsibility with distinction, abil-
ity and foresight.”
That finding in an eight-man report—signed by two
Republican House members brought sharp dissent, however
--♦ from Republican senators Ferguson
(Mich ) and Brewster <Maine) of
the 10-member committee
In a separte report, they assert-
ed that Mr. Roosevelt "was respon-
sible for the failure to enforce con-
tinuous, efficient and appropriate
cooperation” in Washington "in
evaluating information and dis-
patching clear and positive orders
to the Hawaiian commanders.”
Tlie majority hit vigorously at
assertions they said liad been made
that Japan was “tricked" into her
Dec 7, 1941, attack
Contending the President and
then Secretary of State Cordell Hull
“made every possible effort” to
avert war, their report said:
“The committee has found no
evidence to support tike charges,
made before and during the hear-
ings, that the President, the Sec-
retary of State, the Secretary of
War. or the Secretary of Navy
tricked, provoked, incited, cajoled,
or coerced Japan into attacking
this nation in order that a declara-
tion ot war might be more easily
obtained from Congress.”
(ky) said the conferees voted to restore federal rent con-
trol*. where state* hart entered^
the field, but the conferees struck
thia out.
Controls would go back auto-
matically on Aug. 20 on meats,
dairy products, grains, cottonseed
and soybeans, and food and feed
products made from them unless
a three-year decontrol board de-
cided before then that they should
be reimposed sooner—or should re-
main free of controb. If the board
< fails to act. the controls are re-
instated.
Price ceilings on general com-
modities would go back Into ef-
fect immediately after the bill
became law, at the level fixed
by the OPA.
Poultry, eggs and tobacco would
remain free of ceilings until the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
proposed new decontrol board a-
gree that controls on them should
be restored. Petroleum also remains

The commodity concerned Is

The public interest will be served
by such recontrol.
The compromise version of the
bill, which also carries changes in
the no-called pricing sections af-
fecting manufacturers pricea, will
go first to the House for its consid-
eration. Previously the Houae had
voted a 30-day extension of the
OPA authority which expired July
1 with President Truman’s veto
of an extension bill.
Hie Senate-House committee also
made a minor change in a pricing
provision the Senate had Inserted
in the bill as a substitute for the
amendment by Senator Taft (R -
Ohlo) which President Truman had
criticised as the "most damaging"
of the sections of the original ex-,
tension bill he vetoed June 29.

The Senate put off today until 3
p. m , CST Monday, a vote on a
bill to yield federal claims to Ude-
landa or lands beneath navigable
waters within the boundaries of
states.
At tliat time sponsors said they
had little doubt the Senate will
approve a revised measure al-
ready voted by the House. Senator
McCarran (D.-Nev » said it would
"settle forever" the tidelands own-
ership question.
The Senate interrupted a lagging
debate today to Insert in the mea-
sure an amendment by Senator
O'Mahoncy (D.Wyo.i which would
reaffirm the federal government's
claim to the continental ocean
shelf wherever it extends beyond
state boundaries. This previously
had been claimed by presidential
proclamation.

Taft told reporters the agree-

He said he doubted that Re-

BIG ELECTION PARTY SATURDAY
The Record-Chronicle Saturday night will sponsor the biggest
election party ever held in Denton.
In order to give Denton citizens returns on balloting in both
state and county races as fast as retxirta are received, arrange-
ments have been made in cooperation with Radio Station KDNT
and Theatre Row for one of the most complete coverages ever
given the Denton public on election night.
Tlie election party will be held in front of the Record-Chron-
icle. beginning as soon after the polls close at 7 p. m as returns
start coming in.
As a member of the Texas Election Bureau, the Record-Chron-
icle will receive reports on aU state races through its Associated
Press leased wire, and county returns will be secured as fast as
election judges of the county's 32 boxes make their report* to E.
O. Garrison at his office tn the Kimbrough Building on the north
side of the square. Presiding election judges are urged to report
the votes of their boxes as rapidly as possible.
The Record-Chdonicle also has arranged to get reporta on the
State Senate and congressional races from other counties in the
senatortai and congressional districts.
As fast as the reports are received
