SENATE APPROVAL
INQUIRY INTO PEARL HARBOUR
WASHINGTON, September 6. The Senate voted unanimously for a joint Congressional inquiry into Pearl Harbour.
The Democratic leader, Senator Barkley, introducing the resolution, said it" had President Truman's full approval. The investigation, he said, should be so complete and so fair that no person could doubt the good faith of the findings. It should not be conducted to aid or damage any political party, nor to bedaub the escutcheon of any innpcent man. It should not be conducted with the purpose of gratifying the misanthropic hatreds of any person towards any present or past public servant, high or low, living or dead.
The Associated Press comments that most listeners thought Senator Barkley was referring to critics who sought to' blame President Roosevelt for the disaster.
The resolution now goes to the House, where the Speaker, Mr. Rayburn, has promised its speedy consideration.
