WHOSE FAULT WAS
PEARL HARBOR?
Remember Pearl Harbor
No one, in this twenty-fifth
December since the devastating
Japanese attack of 1941, can
forget that incident. Every
magazine and newspaper in the
country has been filled, for the
past few weeks, with vivid
desrciption of the event, as
well as the circumstances which
presumably led up to it. And
it is no w r onder that the news
media turns its attention back
to 1941—for the world wall
never be the same again after
Pearl Harbor.
Three days before the 25th
anniversary of the Japanese at
tack, Dean Clarence Manion
made an historic broadcast over
the Manion Forum network.
Like other writers and com
mentators across the nation,
his subject was Pearl Harbor.
But unlike most of them, his
purpose w r as to tell the little-
known REAL story of how we
got inta World War XL It is a
chilling chronicle:
“On the morning of Decem
ber 6, 1941, the President of
the United States told our Con
gress that December 7 i s “a
day of infamy” because of the
unprovoked and dastardly at
tack upon the United States
by the Japanese government.
“Only a handful of people
knew then what the President
told Congress was false. It
took years of laborious re
search and persistent, prodding
investigation by hundreds or
reporters, historians and others
to uncover and publish the
truth that the President’s ad
dress had deliberately con-
Marityn Manion
cealed, namely, that the attack
on Pearl Harbor was not ‘un
provoked’ as the President said
it was, and that it was not a
‘surprise’ attack at all, but
one that President Roosevelt
himself, among others, had
been secretly and hopefully an
ticipating for months.”
To those who have since been
led to believe that the Japa
nese took us by surprise on that
dreadful day, Dean Manion’s
words must sound incredible.
But read on for his explana
tion.
“How did the President
know’ in advance that the Pearl
Harbor attack was coming
w'here and when it did? This is
an old story now but it is for
ever fascinating. Months be
fore December 7, 1941, our
intelligence service had crack
ed the secret Japanese naval
and diplomatic codes. This
stroke of good fortune enabled
the President, our State Depart
ment, and the army and navy
to ‘listen in,’ as it were, on all
official Japanese plans and in
tentions. The fact that our
government had broken the
Japanese codes was a closely
guarded secret within tiptop
levels of our Government. The
American people did not learn
about it until President Tru
man released the information in
1945. The pivotal point is that
for practical purposes during
the critical months of 1941, all
of the Japanese military plans
were continuously available to
the White House—
—Thus when the Japanese
themselves knew that they were
to attack Pearl Harbor Presi
dent Roosevelt knew it too.”
Why did the President of the
United States deliberately get
us into war and allow more
than 3,000 American men to be
sacrificed without a chance to
fight back ? He had his reasons
—and we’ll tell you w’hat they
were in next week’s column.

Gifts that you make in your
own kitchen are unique and can’t
be duplicated. If you like to cook
remember that cookies, cakes,
candy or some special festive
dish are always welcome for taste
as well as thought. If you'd like
to give more than your chef’s
creation, present the food gift in
a container that can be used
again for something else. For
example, cookies in a stainless
steel mixing bowl, or a set of
three bowls with different cookies
in each. These bowls, which are
good looking, but not expensive,
are versatile enough to serve, not
only for mixing, but to hold
fruits, flower arrangements and
even as refrigerator storage con
tainers. Some of the bowls have
rings on them for easy wall hang
ing to save valuable storage
space. Canisters are always a
welcome gift and no matter what
the kitchen decor, stainless steel
food canisters will fit in. Fill a
canister or two with the cookies
or candies you’ve made for an
added surprise.
Present your candy or cake on
a stainless steel serving plate.
Cover candy with plastic wrap
so that both goodies and plate are
visible. Gifts of stainless have an
heirloom look and require only
soap and water care and never
a dab of polish.

Hallmarks of Qualify
LONG BEFORE the ancient world had
market-places, hallmarks of quality
identifying the proud craftsman could
be found emblazoned on pottery,
tools and fine clothing. The 2100-year
old Grecian vase shown here bears
the inscription: “Let the buyer re
member: Neikas made this!”
JAPAN’S SKILLED artisans of the
18th century assigned their unique
“signature block” hallmarks only to
their finest works. The hallmark of
Makubei, an artist famed for his lum
inous landscapes on porcelain, was
reserved strictly for those pieces to
be delivered to the royal Japanese
household.
PURE WOOL PILE
The WORLD’S NEWEST symbol of
quality is , the ingeniously-designed
wool- mark. It is found only on quality
carpets made of pure wool pile, and
on other fine wool products. The wool
mark on a carpet is your assurance
that the carpet has passed rigid qual
ity tests and that it> will have a dur
able, lasting beauty. For a free book

Sized Tarzan

‘The hospital suggested that I sign the autopsy permit
ahead of time because my son had practically no chance
to live. ?,
In these words, Rosalind Bessell, Natick, Mass., recalls
the ordeal that she and her husband, Henry, lived through
four years ago when their newborn, premature baby lay
wasting away in an incubator with death coming ever
closer. ♦
Mrs. Bessell’s story is borne
out by the records at Boston
City Hospital to which the in
fant was hurried soon after his
birth with a severe intestinal
obstruction. But an air of un
reality surrounds her grim re
cital because, as this attractive
young teacher recalls the days
and nights when her baby hov
ered at death’s door, she points
out the window at home where
this same boy—seemingly
healthy as a young Tarzan—
is now swinging from a low
branch of a towering maple
tree, grinning and yelling,
"Look, Ma!”
"Today, as I think back,”
she says, "I often believe that
none of this happened at all,
that it was just a frightful
nightmare, that I was never
told my baby was dying, and
that my brother, a rabbi,
hadn’t really raced down here
from Utica to conduct the fu
neral service.”
There is no air of unreality,
however, about the records at
Boston City Hospital where
young Mark received treat
ment at the March of Dimes
Birth Defects Center and to
which he regularly rei irns for
check-ups.
Mark, a second child, was
premature by six weeks and
weighed only 4 lbs., 10 ounces
at birth. Doctors soon estab
lished that he had a gross ob
struction between the small
and large intestine. In the next
four months, five operations
were performed to remove the
block and to repair a perfora
tion in the small intestine.
Most of this period the infant
was fed intravenously. His
weight dropped to 2^ pounds.
The doctors feared he might
die at any hour.
The suggestion was even
made that Mrs. Bessell sign
an autopsy permit in advance
because it appeared the full
force of the 1961 hurricane
would soon slam into Boston
making it impossible for the
family to reach the hospital
from their home 18 miles
away.
"I wouldn’t go along with
the suggestion about the au
topsy permit, although it was
meant well under the circum
stances. Also, I could not bring
myself to fill in and return the
birth certificate to the proper
authorities although I had been
warned that I was breaking the"
law in holding it back.
“The only way I can exp]|dh
my hesitancy about signing
the birth certificate and the
autopsy permit,” she contin
ued, “is that, during much of
those four months when I
seemed to be living on a see
saw or on a pogo stick, up and

of life to grow into tho normal

down all the while, I could not
convince myself that a 2V6 lb.
infant, lying inert in an in
cubator, was a real living baby.
Also, I had been told so often
not to expect him to live.”
At the March of Dimes
Birth Defects Center at Bos
ton City Hospital, Dr. David
Ingall, the medical director,
says of Mark’s recovery:
“You’re simply compelled'
to regard this as a miracle—a
medical miracle, a miracle of
faith, a spiritual miracle.” i
